Bobby was a countertenor. No falsettos. Just watch how easily he hits the notes. No strain in his face or throat. Him paired with bill medley’s deep but smooth voice was just perfection! They were born to sing together
No. He was a tenor. Most men can affect a falsetto however he was able to maintain a strong tone in that upper register. Counter tenor were typically castrati
LarryWT I think the greatest “recorded” song would be “call me the breeze” from Lenard skynard. As fas recorded goes,... but the entire band is what makes it.
@@masterwoods6586 Lynyrd Skynyrd* The 'greatest recorded' song is purely subjective. There will be thousands of different opinions on this. Yours is just one.
He is a legend... Hooked early on the Righteous Bros. Then saw the Righteous Bros @ Chicago Civic Opera House July of 67 - sold out...Blossoms singing backup...heady times. time had been real good to his looks and voice until it hasn't.
Good music has no boundaries. Lot's of singers and song writers were from all ethnic backgrounds. Lots of their music is still around because of what it was,, not who sang or wrote it

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley helped a generation get through the sixties. Their songs warmed our hearts and were on everyone's lips. Thanks for reminding me of the good times.
You said it. We used to watch them often on an ABC show for rock fans called "Shindig", mid to late 60's I think. Loved that show!! The Righteous Brothers will always be great.
@James Stackhouse .lol...wow... I am seriously embarrassed and ashamed for you and your hate and whatever misinformation you think you believe. The boomers were not in control of the world in the sixties.. the "greatest generation" was in control. The boomers were too young and busy navigating the many new problems of that time, problems that would have made your self deserving head explode and a world full of hateful attitudes such as yours were at the forefront. Every generation feels like its been handed a bad deal....EVERY GENERATION! So pease don't try in your disgusting, feeble attempt, to lecture the boomers or anyone else simply because you might be feeling "impotent" against the same cruel world that has always surrounded us all and forever will. I'm hoping you find peace with yourself because it will be a shame if you haven't when time to take "your" forever nap...as it comes to us all. You are clueless, so please stop, zip it and let the rest of the world live without your meaningless noise. 😂LOL🤣!
I love seeing you young folks appreciate the music we oldies grew up with. Back then it was pure raw talent, no technology to make it sound better like they have today.
El Bruce ironic, because he is not talking about going down on her, he’s genuflecting to beg her to return. It’’s typical that everything immediately thinks it’s sexual, such is the state of music today.
cbrend22 honestly, as a female I never took the “I’d get on my knees for you” as a sexual line. Idk I immediately thought of it in a romantic way, that’s so so sweet.
I’m a woman ( 72) remember when this song was released gave me goosebumps then & still does . Yea pre internet we rocked & felt it w these amazin musicians & the magic they made ! ❤
This was back when a man recognized that the true beauty in a woman was the warmth of the love that came from her heart.

@@gospaironija2762 Yes, women were treated with ABSOLUTE respect in the past. You know...like when they were traded and marriage was a business deal? But hey, at least people apparently didn't call them whores(which of COURSE they did).

I'm 56. I couldn't agree more. We had no idea that we were living in the peak of musical talent and song writing. Today is just cookie cutter stuff. Nothing unique, nothing out of the box.
@Darryl Darichuk I don't know if music back then was ' a thousand times better'. I think artists had to be more talented because they didn't have technology to help them.
When their music was first released, it was being played on radio stations nationwide. It was being played in cities and towns they'd never performed in before. Many of those listeners thought they were black singers, explaining the "blue-eyed soul" name they were given. Same thing happened to Buddy Holly and the Crickets in the 50s. Their songs were on radio stations nationwide, and they were still performing at high schools and roller rinks in the Lubbock, TX area. The Apollo Theater in Harlem booked them sight unseen believing they were black musicians. They played and brought down the house; a standing ovation after their first song! New subscriber and enjoying your reactions!
You just witnessed a piece of history that will never be outdone. Do listen to a better stereo version for the full effect and as many have said, Unchained Melody is also another classic by them (Soul and Inspiration as well). Thanks
Soul and Inspiration is my favorite song of theirs. The lyrics are just so good and heartfelt. Honestly, you can't go wrong with ANY Righteous Brothers song.
They'r e called "Righteous" because some guy stood up in a club and called them that. Apparently he stood up and said that was "Righteous Brothers" they were looking for a name at the time It stuck and the Righteous Brothers were Born.😀😀
IT'S CALLED "BLUE-EYED SOUL," AND THESE TWO GUYS ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!! Glad you liked this song. I think it's still the most played record on the radio...
I was in high school when the Righteous Brothers were recording all those songs (1963-1966). Imagine slow dancing with your boy friend/girl friend to those songs. Great memories for me. Also, interestingly, I live in Japan. Been here for 40 plus years, so sushi hits home.
If you liked this, you’ll love their version on Unchained Melody. It’s just the brother with the falsetto, but it’s one of the best vocal performances ever. Look for the live version.
No gimmicks, no electronic manipulation (some reverb), no sound editing, probably a live performance that was filmed (not video taped). Just two men singing a love song with their amazing talent on display.
LoL! Yeah... they're awesome but there is tons of electronic manipulation going on here between the echo chambers, the overdubs and the mixing and sound engineering. Not a live recording.
@@oingoboink sorry man! In American English "I'm afraid to ask" doesnt really mean that I'm afraid to ask, really more like "I'm worried I won't like the answer", and even that is more in jest than our true feeling. (Jest (a): a non-serious mood or manner. But I appreciate you taking the time to look it up, if you had. To be honest The Police are great, I was worried it would be something else.
The Righteous Brothers are nothing short of God given TALENT. True singers have the ability to illicit tears, smiles and excitement all in the same song. Singing from the heart and singing for the recorder are two way different things, and true singers sing with real emotion, and illicit reactions like this
This is the second Righteous Brothers reaction you have done that I have seen. You make my heart happy to see your reaction. You are coming across so genuine and I love that. Lots of love from Texas Bravo Sushi.
This song was the most played song on the radio in the 20th Century. I was lucky enough to have been backstage with the Brothers for awhile in 1965 and I speak highly of them, their friendliness and most of all, their singing.
I was a kid back when this song came out. It pleases me when young people today hear this music for the first time and 'get it.' I have tried to introduce my granddaughter to this music but she thinks this is 'fogey music' and won't even try. She doesn't know what she's missing!
Songs such as this, the back seat at the drive-in movies. Memories that you catch Grandma smiling for seemily no reason at all. I think I'll play the 8 track in my 66 Impala SS396.
They defined "Blue Eyed Soul" in the 60's and 70's. I used to go to dance halls as a young teenager like them, before they joined up. In Orange County CA they were competitors for who was best. Then they merged. They are classic greats and I was raised listening to Wolfman Jack and KGFJ for all things soul.
Loved your reaction to this song, Too Sushi. The Righteous Brothers had a long string of hits throughout the 1960s. They were named by black members of their early audiences who would tell them how righteous their sound was - basically, how their voices connected so well across racial boundaries. Bobby Hatfield, on the right, doesn't actually go into a falsetto voice for his singing. His range is such that he's just hitting those high notes naturally. One of the wonderful thing abut the music of the 1960s is that colour was never a barrier. Everybody influenced everybody. As listeners, it never mattered. As listeners, it made the music even better as it created sounds that transcended culture, gender, race, religion. What mattered to us all was the music and isn't that how we should be?
A couple things This song was made to be listened to thru one speaker The speaker was located in your home radio , your transistor radio or the speaker that was located in the center of your car's dashboard Next Ignore the vocals and listen to the music in the background "The song would become one of the foremost examples of Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique. It features the studio musicians the Wrecking Crew, included for this recording were Don Randi on piano, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Carol Kaye and Ray Pohlman on bass, and Steve Douglas on sax.[22] They were also joined by Barney Kessel on guitar and Earl Palmer on drums for this session. Jack Nitzsche usually arranged the songs for Spector, but he was absent, and the arrangement for this song was done by Gene Page.[9][23] As with his other songs, Spector started by cutting the instrumental track first, building up layers of sound to create the Wall of Sound effect. The recording was done mono so Spector could fix the sound exactly as he wanted it.[21] According to sound engineer Larry Levine, they started recording four acoustic guitars, when that was ready, they added the pianos, of which there were three, followed by three basses, the horns (two trumpets, two trombones, and three saxophones), then finally the drums.[21] The vocals by Hatfield and Medley were then recorded and the strings overdubbed.[1] The background singers were mainly the vocal group The Blossoms, joined in the song's crescendo by a young Cher.[24] Reverb was applied in the recording, and more was added on the lead vocals during the mix.[21] According to music writer Robert Palmer, the effect of the technique used was to create a sound that was "deliberately blurry, atmospheric, and of course huge; Wagnerian rock 'n' roll with all the trimmings."[1]" Tina Turner's River Deep Mountain High is another great example of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound "You've Lost
Hi everyone,,, yes it was some of the best times.. when I hear this song reminds me of seeing them for the 1st time, I was a young teeager at the time... im loving watching you react... it was during the vietnam war... guys were leaving... and we had to say good bye to them.... many would call a local radio station and dedicate the song to their girlfriends/fiancee/wives Im glad you saw it...
4:12 *...This young lady is about to get Goosepimples* Great reaction vid of an all time classic, it's like watching a kid open their presents at christmas
The Brothers were light years ahead of their time, though they were appreciated back then. I'm glad we have a few performances to watch. There should be a movie about them.
Watching your reaction to this wonderful recording makes me smile from ear to ear. I love it that you hear what I hear in this performance. On behalf of all of those who danced cheek to cheek listening to this song, Thank you. I am a fan.
I'm 27. I'm a hobbyist producer, engineer, sound designer etc and my best friend is more successful than I am lol. But through both of our lives in music i can't help but notice the old singers had better vocals. Even today it's hard to make vocals pop properly. This is just amazing talent. Don't find singers like this these days lol
@@forkinpig it's true, they didn't have any engineering equipment really so they had to train their voices incredibly. Now there's a lot of crutches and even beautiful singers still use them to enhance the vocal. Like Arianna grande, she can sing better than like 99% of the planet but still has like 13 vocal tracks 😂🤷♂️
She didn't technically break down anything! She was just mentioning little parts that she liked but she has no clue what those musical parts mean or the musical importance of any of it. Knowing what you like in music doesn't mean you know anything about the technical side of music. I'm not knocking her. I'm just stating a fact.
Seeing a true apprecionado of music experience the Righteous Brothers for the first time is a special treat. Her reaction, for me, is like watching a little kid unwrap Christmas presents..
I grabbed my brush aka my mic so fast and started singing!! There voices are perfect together...and barvado is something to behold! Loved this reaction to this classic!!
Awesome Righteous Bros , no one could come close to their soul, harmony & pure talent that they had. No autotune back then , but lets be honest IT WAS NOT NEEDED!! 🥰
Agree the quality of a singer's voice was once what made a recording distinctive. The Righteous Brothers song, however, did have an interesting production. It was produced by Phil Spector using his "Wall of Sound" A technique that many tried to reproduce, including Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. The "Wall of Sound": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound Another song Spector produced with the Wall of Sound that makes you play it over and over is "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes: ruclips.net/video/rT1QqjFzrgY/видео.html
Oh so many oldies to get you to listen to. "Sitting on the dock of the bay" Otis Redding Any song of Percy Sledge's Good places to start expanding your mental library, since you enjoyed this one.
No autotune. No processing. No Do-over. Live. Live Band. Live singers. This is talent.
This is an amazing song, amazing singers. But this isn’t live. It’s playback.
@@ShpaolinMusic This was a live performance for television, but this particular video overdubs the original studio audio onto the song.

Yes real talent, no one sings like that anymore .

Agreed, though I personally prefer the studio recordings.
They're called "Righteous" for a reason.
They'r e called "Righteous" because some guy stood up in a club and called them that. Apparently he stood up and said that was "Righteous Brothers" they were looking for a name at the time It stuck and the Righteous Brothers were Born.😀😀
I absolutely love love them. I am 70 years old and I remember when this came out. I never get tired of listening to this.
Proof positive that music reaches people, no matter their age or experience with the genre. Great reactions ...
Never has music expressed love like these forgotten Eras.
Facts.. great era in music..
Then later on, Phil Collins really voiced male heartbreak from divorce going on through the 1980’s
Powerful stuff
That is one of the most sensual songs ever recorded ,by two of the most iconic singers .It's timeless and has so much power !!!!
The lead singer on this song, Bill Medley, was also the same man who sang, The Time of My life, with Jennifer warnes on Dirty Dancing.
IT'S CALLED "BLUE-EYED SOUL," AND THESE TWO GUYS ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!! Glad you liked this song. I think it's still the most played record on the radio...
Still a fantastic song after decades. What voices these guys had. RIP Bobby Hatfield.
I was in high school when the Righteous Brothers were recording all those songs (1963-1966). Imagine slow dancing with your boy friend/girl friend to those songs. Great memories for me.
Also, interestingly, I live in Japan. Been here for 40 plus years, so sushi hits home.
Great memories also. We would dance and sing along. The best parties.
If you liked this, you’ll love their version on Unchained Melody. It’s just the brother with the falsetto, but it’s one of the best vocal performances ever. Look for the live version.
It is an absolute classic.
No gimmicks, no electronic manipulation (some reverb), no sound editing, probably a live performance that was filmed (not video taped). Just two men singing a love song with their amazing talent on display.
LoL! Yeah... they're awesome but there is tons of electronic manipulation going on here between the echo chambers, the overdubs and the mixing and sound engineering. Not a live recording.
Beautiful love songs like this were written to touch the hearts of beautiful women like you
Old Geezer .......couldn’t have said it better
and forget what shit their men were doin in vietnam.
Until 2019, this song was the most listened to song for the past 22 years.
Top gun put it back in our hearts when we almost forgot.
I'm a little afraid to ask what knocked it down in 2019.
@@garrett6064 Looked it up. It was Every Breath You Take by The Police which still holds the title.
@@oingoboink sorry man! In American English "I'm afraid to ask" doesnt really mean that I'm afraid to ask, really more like "I'm worried I won't like the answer", and even that is more in jest than our true feeling.
(Jest (a): a non-serious mood or manner.
But I appreciate you taking the time to look it up, if you had. To be honest The Police are great, I was worried it would be something else.
Actually, it's better than that. This song was THE most played song on radio in the entire 20th century.
The Righteous Brothers are nothing short of God given TALENT. True singers have the ability to illicit tears, smiles and excitement all in the same song. Singing from the heart and singing for the recorder are two way different things, and true singers sing with real emotion, and illicit reactions like this
I was about 10 years old when this came out. So cool to see this generation loving it.
Watching your face, it's interesting to see that this can still move younger girls in the right way.
They hit you with a deep voice and high notes at once, loke a perfect one two punch.
I love how genuine you are and I love watching your expanding playlist.
This is the second Righteous Brothers reaction you have done that I have seen. You make my heart happy to see your reaction. You are coming across so genuine and I love that. Lots of love from Texas Bravo Sushi.
55 years and still getting played all the time. That's how timeless music is.
This song was the most played song on the radio in the 20th Century. I was lucky enough to have been backstage with the Brothers for awhile in 1965 and I speak highly of them, their friendliness and most of all, their singing.
No auto-tune back then...it was all skill and talent!!! Love It!!!!
I was a kid back when this song came out. It pleases me when young people today hear this music for the first time and 'get it.' I have tried to introduce my granddaughter to this music but she thinks this is 'fogey music' and won't even try. She doesn't know what she's missing!
Send her this review.
Just give her time, she will come around.
Songs such as this, the back seat at the drive-in movies. Memories that you catch Grandma smiling for seemily no reason at all. I think I'll play the 8 track in my 66 Impala SS396.
I knew you would like it . May God Bless 🙏
They defined "Blue Eyed Soul" in the 60's and 70's. I used to go to dance halls as a young teenager like them, before they joined up. In Orange County CA they were competitors for who was best. Then they merged. They are classic greats and I was raised listening to Wolfman Jack and KGFJ for all things soul.
Detroiter here
I am right there with you!
You are correct "The Perfect Duo" my favorite group, helped me get my girl married 47 years now.
When I first heard this song way back in the 60's, I had the same exact reaction as you did!! The Righteous Brothers never get old!!!
Righteous Brothers - You're My Soul And Inspiration I love your reactions, and you need one of this song, too!!!
Been deeply into music since 1964, 70's, 80's, 90's and present and I'm here to tell you music from the 60's is the greatest. Like you program.
Love your shocked reaction to such a powerful and passionate song.
this is from a time period that music was real from the heart.
Loved your reaction to this song, Too Sushi. The Righteous Brothers had a long string of hits throughout the 1960s. They were named by black members of their early audiences who would tell them how righteous their sound was - basically, how their voices connected so well across racial boundaries. Bobby Hatfield, on the right, doesn't actually go into a falsetto voice for his singing. His range is such that he's just hitting those high notes naturally.
One of the wonderful thing abut the music of the 1960s is that colour was never a barrier. Everybody influenced everybody. As listeners, it never mattered. As listeners, it made the music even better as it created sounds that transcended culture, gender, race, religion. What mattered to us all was the music and isn't that how we should be?
Our friend was keyboard player. They actually played for his daughter's prom. Awesome people 💗
A couple things
This song was made to be listened to thru one speaker
The speaker was located in your home radio , your transistor radio or the speaker that was located in the center of your car's dashboard
Next
Ignore the vocals and listen to the music in the background
"The song would become one of the foremost examples of Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique. It features the studio musicians the Wrecking Crew, included for this recording were Don Randi on piano, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Carol Kaye and Ray Pohlman on bass, and Steve Douglas on sax.[22] They were also joined by Barney Kessel on guitar and Earl Palmer on drums for this session. Jack Nitzsche usually arranged the songs for Spector, but he was absent, and the arrangement for this song was done by Gene Page.[9][23] As with his other songs, Spector started by cutting the instrumental track first, building up layers of sound to create the Wall of Sound effect. The recording was done mono so Spector could fix the sound exactly as he wanted it.[21] According to sound engineer Larry Levine, they started recording four acoustic guitars, when that was ready, they added the pianos, of which there were three, followed by three basses, the horns (two trumpets, two trombones, and three saxophones), then finally the drums.[21] The vocals by Hatfield and Medley were then recorded and the strings overdubbed.[1] The background singers were mainly the vocal group The Blossoms, joined in the song's crescendo by a young Cher.[24] Reverb was applied in the recording, and more was added on the lead vocals during the mix.[21] According to music writer Robert Palmer, the effect of the technique used was to create a sound that was "deliberately blurry, atmospheric, and of course huge; Wagnerian rock 'n' roll with all the trimmings."[1]"
Tina Turner's River Deep Mountain High is another great example of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound
"You've Lost
Hi everyone,,, yes it was some of the best times.. when I hear this song reminds me of seeing them for the 1st time, I was a young teeager at the time... im loving watching you react... it was during the vietnam war... guys were leaving... and we had to say good bye to them.... many would call a local radio station and dedicate the song to their girlfriends/fiancee/wives Im glad you saw it...
I saw your reaction to this song in a group reaction and I had to come to your channel and tell you that was BEAUTIFUL!
I would like to see her reaction to Roy Orbison
Yes beautiful. Righteous bros so one track of many great tracks! Yes “In Dreams “ would be one to listen to
@@estellebevan3387 True. It is such a difficult song to sing but Roy makes it seem easy.
Uuuuuuu that would be sweet
Yep. Crying is just ugh. You can’t get pass that. She might not recover lol.
@@novella152001 May I suggest K.D. Lang's cover of Cryin' - POWERFUL!
Definitely have to hear unchained melody, one the most beautiful songs ever written.
Righteous Brothers. True American musical Treasure!
guy on the right is Bill Medly who did "the time of my Life' with Jennifer Warnes for the movie Dirty Dancing.
Never knew that...thx
Obviously from the movie ghost in the 1980s
@@lavellhall7650 nope different song. Unchained Melody was used in ghost.
You're right Brian my bad, I believe that was in dirty dancing with Jennifer Warnes
I remember when this song first came out. It brought tears to my eyes when it was new, and still does to this day.
Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" here, such a lush production.
4:12 *...This young lady is about to get Goosepimples*
Great reaction vid of an all time classic, it's like watching a kid open their presents at christmas
The Brothers were light years ahead of their time, though they were appreciated back then. I'm glad we have a few performances to watch. There should be a movie about them.
Watching your reaction to this wonderful recording makes me smile from ear to ear. I love it that you hear what I hear in this performance. On behalf of all of those who danced cheek to cheek listening to this song, Thank you. I am a fan.
I LOVE to see reaction videos like this. The younger generation appreciating great music, regardless of when it came out. Thank you for this video.
I'm 27. I'm a hobbyist producer, engineer, sound designer etc and my best friend is more successful than I am lol. But through both of our lives in music i can't help but notice the old singers had better vocals. Even today it's hard to make vocals pop properly. This is just amazing talent. Don't find singers like this these days lol
That era, that world is gone, it's gone.
@@forkinpig it's true, they didn't have any engineering equipment really so they had to train their voices incredibly. Now there's a lot of crutches and even beautiful singers still use them to enhance the vocal. Like Arianna grande, she can sing better than like 99% of the planet but still has like 13 vocal tracks 😂🤷♂️
Analog music has far more depth and texture to it, yes, digital music is cleaner but it cleans out the soul of the music.
Bill Medley sang lead on this song. Such a deep and sultry voice he has.
I love how you technically break it down. Don’t change that.
She didn't technically break down anything!
She was just mentioning little parts that she liked but she has no clue what those musical parts mean or the musical importance of any of it. Knowing what you like in music doesn't mean you know anything about the technical side of music. I'm not knocking her. I'm just stating a fact.
That is called " Blue Eyed soul" Semper Fidelis
Seeing a true apprecionado of music experience the Righteous Brothers for the first time is a special treat. Her reaction, for me, is like watching a little kid unwrap Christmas presents..
Classic song. The harmony was so on point. Love your reaction and glad you discovered this tune 👍
I grabbed my brush aka my mic so fast and started singing!!
There voices are perfect together...and barvado is something to behold!
Loved this reaction to this classic!!
As Told By Keva love this !!
They weren't called blue eyed soul WITHOUT a GOOD reason.
Awesome Righteous Bros , no one could come close to their soul, harmony & pure talent that they had. No autotune back then , but lets be honest IT WAS NOT NEEDED!! 🥰
Agree the quality of a singer's voice was once what made a recording distinctive. The Righteous Brothers song, however, did have an interesting production. It was produced by Phil Spector using his "Wall of Sound" A technique that many tried to reproduce, including Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. The "Wall of Sound": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound
Another song Spector produced with the Wall of Sound that makes you play it over and over is "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes: ruclips.net/video/rT1QqjFzrgY/видео.html
Do Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody" live version!
I kinda hate that version but it was a lot better than Elvis
Yes, that live version is the best!!
Your My Soul and Inspiration too
I saw it live a few months ago. Bill Medley and the new guy, Bucky Heard, have still got it!
@@ATrainHC If you haven't checked out Bobby Hatfield's live version, then you really haven't really seen THE best version ever....it's truly iconic!!
This was a massive hit when I was a teenager loved it then and love it now, I defy anyone to say they make songs today as good.
It is so refreshing to listen to a reaction from somebody who actually understands music. Great reaction. Thank you!
Cher is one of the singers. She got her start with them.
Is that a Fact.
Well I can't listen to this song without your face popping into my head and your reaction to it. You were so cute throughout the reaction.
she found that loving feeling quick once she heard that song lol
Oh so many oldies to get you to listen to.
"Sitting on the dock of the bay" Otis Redding

Good places to start expanding your mental library, since you enjoyed this one.
