Bobbie was an unusually gifted tenor! It was a God given talent that very few could reach! I am 77 years old, so I heard this music as a teenager! And I love it now even more than then! I so appreciate your reaction to his exceptional voice, and your desire to hear that kind of music today! So uplifting!❤🎉🎉❤
I feel sad too, for this younger generation. Music has changed so much and not for the better. Most music today sounds same, same. Very little melody, orchestration and soul. Roy Orbison is also a great singer from the same era. I believe that kids today would appreciate something different similar to the same era as the Righteous Brothers or some Motown music. I am 73 years old and when my three girls were growing up we had a juke box in our house. My girls still love the music from the 60's and 70's. The Righteous Brothers, (Blue Eyed Soul) were in a league of their own.
There will never be another Righteous Bros. And Bobby singing EBB TIDE.... is what girls in the 50, 60's would melt over. That song says a lot about his ability to hypnotize you, his voice is so unique and dreamy magic that melts through your heart.... All the more, for posting these two great legends...........
The song compares love to the growing-and-receding tide of the ocean. And the song starts low and slow, then builds like the tide, then goes out again, then rises again at the end. Beautiful song.
You are 100% correct about where music is going. These old songs are about a much simpler time. Everything today is dark, negative and angry. I'll take the simpler time thank you. As you go back and dig into the oldies there is SO MUCH to enjoy. All the greats. The Righteous Brothers of course, Jay Black and the Americans, Gene Pitney, Patsy Cline, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Gary Pucket and the Union Gap. The list is endless.
Another masterpiece by Bobby Hatfield. Doesn’t get the attention like Unchained Melody but is right up there with it. Thx for being one of the few reactors that play it. I’m still with you with all the problems you’ve had. Keep going and playing the great classics
Your reaction was almost as entertaining as Bobby Hatfield performance. You were genuinely shocked. Heres how old this song is. I was 16 when this came out. I am now 73 but it is still relevant today
Thank you Jayy! Yes, this is EBB Tide done by Bobby Hatfield. I am so pleased that you liked this gentle song. Ebb Tide was not played as much on the radio and not sure why that was but I love this song and the words are very romantic. The softness lulls you in then BOOM you get the crescendo. It's an amazing piece! Thank you again Dear Jayy!
I think he was a modern day siren. I always say if he'd sat on rocks singing, ocean going liners would have beached themselves to listen. Everyone, man or woman, just falls in love at the first 'whoa, my love' ...
@@rubydazzler I've used that same term myself to describe him a number of times. I love, love "Unchained", but "Ebb Tide" (sung by Bobby) is my favorite solo. The first time I heard it, my mom was playing it on the stereo. His voice literally stopped me in my tracks and I asked, "who is THAT?" She said, "It's the Righteous Brothers. Bobby H. is doing a solo - I've played them before; you know them". I said, "I know, but, man....!!" Anyway, even though I was a young teen deep into rock, I was in love from that moment! Much more than you wanted to know, I'm sure - sorry!
@@gibsongirl2100 lol, if we're doing TMI, I go to sleep with him every night, when I'm to ready snuggle down I ask the EchoDot device to play Unchained Melody, and I'm borne away on angel wings, to sleep,. perchance to dream. It's the perfect lullaby.
@@gibsongirl2100 I have one beef with Ebb Tide, it's just not long enough! I could listen to Bobby endlessly. I recently discovered What's the Matter Baby (cover of a Timi Yuro original) and I love that one too, although it's not romantic, in fact the very opposite.
I might be old but I feel sorry for all those that missed the life that brought these tunes to us in the fifties , sixties and on to the second star on the right. I was driving down Pacific Coast Hwy in Long Beach California when they announced Bobby had passed on, girl, I cried. Peace !
Hey JAYY, love your reactions, you said you are a 1994 baby, I'm a 1943 baby. We had really good music back in the 40s and 50s too. Yep I turn 78 this year, but I don't feel any different than when I was in my 40s.
@@sandraschauf5862 I don't think it was actually an overdose as such, deliberate. He died because he wasn't used to the drug and he had a really advanced heart condition which no one knew about. Bill said he thought Bobby took the cocaine to try and energise himself for the show because he felt so bad. The Angels needed him in their heavenly choir, there'll never be another voice, with that amount of soul and emotion again, imo.
@@rubydazzler I have read comments from people that knew Bobby and said he was a cokehead. It may not have been deliberate, but he was addicted to cocaine which contributed to his heart condition. He evidently didn't go to the Doctor or he would probably wouldn't have passed away at that point. They would have put a stent in and he would have lived longer. But drugs will always kill, eventually. I was very saddened to hear that he was an addict. I just don't understand people who have everything and yet they feel the need to get high and then become addicted.
@@sandraschauf5862 I bow to your superior knowledge. I'm probably at fault in not wishing to believe my idols can have feet of clay. Maybe the years of being undervalued, known as 'the other brother' and being overshadowed by Bill, when he was so much more, led to him trying and becoming dependent on cocaine for validation? We'll never know now. People trying to put him down won't change my opinion though, he was an earth-angel, a siren, given that amazing voice to engage us all. Love and light.
@@rubydazzler It doesn't change my feelings about Bobby Hatfield. I actually feel sorry for him. He was very talented. I am not putting him down, I am only speaking the truth. Why can't people speak the truth without assuming that they are putting them down. My brother got hooked on drugs too and went to prison for it. I felt sorry for him also. But he came to know The Lord while he was in prison so it was a blessing. Deception is from the Devil. And I am not arguing with your feelings or opinion. I like to know the truth about people and things. I don't like to hide behind a mask. I miss Bobby Hatfield and I certainly believe he was more talented than Bill. I am 73 years old and they were popular when I was in High School. I always liked them always will. Bobby had a beautiful voice that can't be duplicated.
A great love song by the incomparable Bobby Hatfield. Like Unchained Melody, he puts his heart and soul into his performances. Many more of his solos on You Tube that I Know you will love. Thanks, Cathy
Such a great song by Bobby Hatfield. It was written in 1953 I believe. If you want to hear something incredible ,listen to Sheriff and the song is called When I'm with you. The singer holds the world record for holding the longest note.
Thank you Jayy! I love that song Ebb Tide by the Rioghteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield sang this one alone.just as in Unchained Melody. Yes, he had a THREE Octive voice range like an opera singer. Take Care and stay safe!
Now I come to think about it, he might have meant just generally, not specifically in UM. It was a while ago he posted that analysis. I could have misunderstood.
Bobby, I wish this music was out now. I haven't listened to the radio since the late 80s because very little music is beautiful that's out now. It's not even their voices and it's sad because you're right it is calming and so beautiful. 💞
Dynamics and Great music just go together ... it creates emotion ... They also went back and covered the music of their parents, EBB TIDE was done by the Platters and Frank Sinatra before the Righteous Bros. ... White Cliffs Of Dover was a WW II era song ... and they did religious songs like "He" and " I Believe For Every Drop Of Rain"
A voice that is its own class. When the party was mellowing down, the Righteous Brothers were dropped on the turntable. Great song that went with your girl in the sack. The climax is perfection.
Mr. Bobby Hatfield. Sorely missed. Melissa Ward here. Love his one of a kind voice. We were blessed with great music growing up. Try righteous bros.and the Blossoms duo,song is titled Night time is the right time. Great fun live video. Also a song called Just once in my life. You won't be disappointed.
They did cover a lot of old songs. Songs like ebb tide, white cliffs of Dover and unchained melody. They may have been covers but when they recorded a song it became theirs and in my mind they turned them into something completely different that was never bettered.
I LOVE the Righteous Brothers, but THIS IS MY FAVORITE of all the beautiful songs they sang. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! Gives me chills. Reminds me of my late husband and my marriage and relationship. 😍😍😍😍.I always tell my grandchildren that I feel so sorry for them because they don't know what good music is, and I tell my 25-year-old daughter I feel sorry for her contemporaries because they don't know what good music is and the reason why they are so angry is because of rap and hip hop music. It makes me turn into the Incredible Hulk so I think it has the same effect on people. JMHO.
I love your reaction to the Righteous Brothers. I agree with you about generations missing out on this music. I love that you tube channel owners have discovered the extraordinary voices and music of these special guys.
You should hear Bobby sing My Prayer (react to it lol) or even For Your Love or For Sentimental Reasons. Bobby was the best and the life and soul of the Righteous Brothers. There will never be another like him. Thank you for doing Ebb Tide. Oh, and you should listen to Stay With Me by Bobby if you ever have the chance!
1965, Sept turned 21, me n my main squeeze celeb the 2nd ann of our first date n was drafted into the Army ten days later. You brought back some memories, thanks.
Ebbtide is a bobby Hatfield solo and like all of Bobby Hatfield songs. They have heart and soul and a richness of voice and range that is incomparable.
Dear Jayy, I appreciate your comment about the way music has changed and not necessarily for the good. Because you aware, you are in a very special place to make changes and I hope you will. As you make those changes I’d like to make you to know that EBB is a word. It means movement of the tide out to see. Ebb is the tidewater moving away from the land. It also means to recede: the word flow is it’s opposite or coming in. This is how we get the saying, “Ebb and Flow,” or back and forth. You keep my faith alive in the younger generation. Julia BrutonSheppard
I have adored the Righteous Brothers since I was in my early teens. There is one voice that I think comes close to matching Bobby Hatfield, 'cause he can do the same notes and hold 'em: Austin Brown with Home Free. They're an a capella group ... everything is their voices.
Bobby Hatfield is an awesome singer ,he has a lot of great songs . Like my prayer and crying in the Chapel. , Bobby is the blonde .he has a soulful voice.
I love these dreamy ones but also try some wailing blues like "Somethings Got a Hold On Me" (Moonglow days) and "Oop-oo-pah-doo." He could sing anything!
What's a Matter, Baby? I've only just discovered that one! But even in that, his soul is so sweet, he can't sound mean ... which is the intention of the song.
I have this vinyl 78 Album, I have all their albums....been listening to them since 1962...so glad you are listening to them and many more of our singers and groups from back in the day.
This is another beautiful classic by Bobby Hatfield, who performed the 1965 live performance of Unchained Melody--I don't know of anyone else who could match him. That's why the younger generations are still being wowed by him. Of course, he has many beautiful solos on You Tube you should check out--more beautiful love songs, inspirational ones, rock and doo wop. Enjoy !! Cathy
Never has there been a song more evocative of the word CLIMAX. The Patters did a beautiful job with this song, but, Bobby with Phil Spector made it so intensely, powerfully, visceral that it blew all previous versions away and gave the song it's definition. An analog for sex between lovers. Nobody before or since has done it better.
Thank God the Righteous Bros is part our shared Americana. Beautiful music us meant to he shared....and to inspire. The black community has awesome romantic acts: The Drifters, the Platters, the Four Tops, and many many more. They probably inspired blue eyed soul.
@@THEJAYYSHOW There's no indication that you've heard any of the 5th Dimension (from the 70s). Might I suggest "Stone Soul Picnic" ruclips.net/video/_LANEbOT_SI/видео.html or "Up, Up, And Away" ruclips.net/video/HfxqQmWtGNM/видео.html

My goodness when you put the great vocal talents of Bobby Hatfield with a great sounding orchestra. The one thing that always happens is...Magic!
In my opinion, nobody does this song better. The greatest ❤

The one and only Bobby Hatfield. The righteous bros.are timeless. Thank you for doing Ebb Tide.
Thank you for watching
Bobby is a counter tenor and his voice transformers you to another time so you too can enjoy him.
Bobby keeps one transfixed the whole song, he was amazing. He was like no other.
One thing about the Righteous Brothers when they recorded a song, they ‘owned’ the song, no matter who followed them with their own cover.
I like that, truth, they were special, and I agree, they own the songs they did.
You are 100% correct about where music is going. These old songs are about a much simpler time. Everything today is dark, negative and angry. I'll take the simpler time thank you.

@Arpi Chatalian your kidding, right?
Yes Never stop listening to your mom
I grew up in the 60s with all that wonderful music. When I hear this song to this day and I hear that last note I still get goosebumps.
got that Right. righteous man righteous
The tide went out, the tide came in, went out again.
These are the ones that truly taught Elvis.
There was no WOKE Wackos back in the day. Just great music and talent.
It is pronounced Ebb…like web…Tide, like the ocean, ebbs and flows. I love love your reactions!❤
He had the best voice of all time!

A beautiful musical reflection you have given us. Thank-You. I'm a 1966 high school graduate, so the Righteous Brothers were a major memory for me.
Bobby's voice makes you melt like Smokey Robinson's tender voice.
Bobby had one of the most "come hither" voices I've ever heard - so seductive.
I think he was a modern day siren. I always say if he'd sat on rocks singing, ocean going liners would have beached themselves to listen. Everyone, man or woman, just falls in love at the first 'whoa, my love' ...

The legend, Bobby Hatfield passed away in 2003. His “Unchained Melody” is featured in the movie, “Ghost.” Bill Medley is still alive.
Bill wrote and sang Time of My Time with Jennifer Warnes.
Isn’t that the time of my life ?

Yes, born in '42, I was just the right age to appreciate their music and totally fall in love. I still am.
how does he hold those last high notes? simple. He is BOBBY HATFIELD
Nobody like Bobby Hatfield!!! He died of a Cocaine overdose with his bad heart. It was really sad.

Let's talk more Righteous Brothers
There voices are masculine, smooth, and sexy. The imagine they left me with makes me weak in the knees. 💕
That's all. No more adjectives to describe Bobby or Bill, just nothing more to say, except there will never be any others like them.
Bobby Hatfield never disappoints.
A great love song by the incomparable Bobby Hatfield. Like Unchained Melody, he puts his heart and soul into his performances. Many more of his solos on You Tube that I Know you will love. Thanks, Cathy

They held notes like that because they were very talented. RIP Bobby Hatfield
It comes down to lung capacity and the ability to regulate the expulsion of breath.

you will be blown away with him singing Only You
I have adored the Righteous Brothers since I was in my early teens. There is one voice that I think comes close to matching Bobby Hatfield, 'cause he can do the same notes and hold 'em: Austin Brown with Home Free. They're an a capella group ... everything is their voices.
Bobby Hatfield is an awesome singer ,he has a lot of great songs . Like my prayer and crying in the Chapel. , Bobby is the blonde .he has a soulful voice.
That's Bobby Hatfield your listen to.
just be grateful they are still around to listen to
I love these dreamy ones but also try some wailing blues like "Somethings Got a Hold On Me" (Moonglow days) and "Oop-oo-pah-doo." He could sing anything!
Yes! Love those!
What's a Matter, Baby? I've only just discovered that one! But even in that, his soul is so sweet, he can't sound mean ... which is the intention of the song.
I saw them sing live shortly before Bobby died. Still had it but was fading a little. Nobody did ebb tide like them. Great ones gone?
Yes... the Righteous Brothers were truly a treasure. They were/are White, but they had a lot of soul. Thank You for sharing.
I have this vinyl 78 Album, I have all their albums....been listening to them since 1962...so glad you are listening to them and many more of our singers and groups from back in the day.
I was wondering if anyone would get around to this beauty~~~
Wonderful reaction. Great song
How can you say that this is COMMON, You do not know what is complete music? WOW
This is another beautiful classic by Bobby Hatfield, who performed the 1965 live performance of Unchained Melody--I don't know of anyone else who could match him.

Never has there been a song more evocative of the word CLIMAX.

An analog for sex between lovers. Nobody before or since has done it better.
Aww, why did you have to say that!! You've taken all the romance away now, Dennis! Now we all going to have to worry about getting pregnant. :D
Thats my most fave song gurl❤❤❤sound way beyond wonderful huh👍
I love 8 of their songs and been listening to them for a long time now
She is so beautiful!!!
Phil Spector, who was responsible for their “wall of sound” effect, died recently in prison.
Thank God the Righteous Bros is part our shared Americana.
Beautiful music us meant to he shared....and to inspire.
The black community has awesome romantic acts:
The Drifters, the Platters, the Four Tops, and many many more.
They probably inspired blue eyed soul.
This song was written in 1953. The first big hit version was by The Platters.
40's, 50's, 60's...keep going back...
It's so obvious how much you love Bobby Hatfield.
THE PLATTERS version is my fave, give it a listen .That's not taking it away from Bobby which is grt
Great song.. Arthur Prysock does a great rendition as well...
My sister used to have this song on vinyl (the old 45's). Guess which song was on the flip side? Unchained Melody....talk about a one two punch.
Great job Bobby
Bobby Hatfield can really hit those high notes
Yes he could
@@THEJAYYSHOW
Nobody. No-bod-y else has the range and control that Bobby Hatfield had.

or "Up, Up, And Away" ruclips.net/video/HfxqQmWtGNM/видео.html
@@donna30044 I know that song and I like it
Love your reactions!
They each had their solo songs mixed with their duets
E-B-B Tide? Really?! 😊
I agree we won't hear stuff like this again. Good thing they were saved on records, tapes & play lists.
Bobby and Karen Carpenter had once in a lifetime voices. both gone too soon
PLEASE CHECK AND Play the LIVE VERSION. Absolutely Mesmerizing and Spellbinding
EBB IS A WORD EBB TIDE
P a u l savage hit every note in this song
Blue Eyed soul!!
