The duo of the Righteous Brothers are made up of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. Only Bobby Hatfield sung Unchained Melody (which is a cover, and was sung by many other different performers before these two touched it) and Bill Medley didn't want to record his voice because he didn't think the song would be a hit. Little did he know it would become one of their greatest hits and considered the best rendition of the song ever performed. Ironically Bill Medley refusing to sing the song likely contributed to its success as it allowed Bobby Hatfield to use the full range of his voice without the need to harmonize with Bill's much deeper voice.
I was singing along to this when all of a sudden my dad burst in. I thought he was mad that I was playing my music too loud. Instead he was thrilled. This was the music of his youth, he said. We spent the afternoon mastering the harmony call back. Such an awesome bonding moment.
Funny thing, as a male from New Zealand who grew up with this music it makes me laugh, both of them are not only incredibly smooth but they make my knees go weak as well lol
I have enjoyed watching reaction videos to "Unchained Melody" as well as "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". A lot of tonsils from all of the jaws hitting the table. Girls trying to catch their breath.
How do you know you made a good song? When 55 years later, it reaches people on the same emotional level that it did when you released it. This is a timeless classic. It has transcended generations and is still one of the most played songs in music history. If you're looking for 2 more great songs, I would try Soul & Inspiration as well as Georgia On My Mind. Unchained Melody was an agreed deal between the two. They would get to record a solo track on their albums. Both of them wanted to sing it, and it came down to a coin toss. Love your energy. Looking forward to seeing more.
I'd STILL be that dude's woman for getting on his knees, even though he probably couldn't get back up without a lot of help. With a voice like that, I wouldn't care HOW old a dude was...right up there with Roy Orbison or Johny Cash.
@@davidwilliams6925 Women appreciate being wooed. They're flattered by a man making the effort, making the gesture, to show them how much they care. And a man getting down on his knees before his woman is surrendering his pride to show his devotion to her. Women rarely see or hear that anymore.
Years ago, before they were "discovered" they were booked into a black nightclub in the Watts area in Los Angeles. The owner of the club was really upset when he found out the "Righteous Brothers" were not black. They asked for the opportunity to just try us out first before saying no. When they went onstage, the crowd started booing and throwing things at them. They persisted anyway, and then the miracle happened! The crowd heard them and settled down to listen. At the end of their set, the crowd wouldn't let them leave, and wanted more! It was then that they earned the nickname "Blue-eyed Soul"
@@JohannesWOW they should have left auto-tune for what it was originally designed for. finding oil tables in sea beds. the history of it goes back further than music.
@@jameschio756 Getting tired of this generic response. There are plenty of extremely talents musicians out there, they just don't fall into your lap like chart topping music does. No need to drag politics into this discussion, it isn't relevant. We live in an age where practically every genre and subgenre has talented and committed artists contributing to the lexicon of music. RateYourMusic is a great resource to find these musicians, especially with the genre charts.
@@jameschio756 I don't know. Republicans are the ones that wine about silly stuff. Or make up stuff and say the left are crying about it when they aren't.
This was recorded before a live audience. It was a one time, do or die, fly or crash. There was no do over. What you did right there before the audience lived or died right there. The same with Unchained Melody.
This was the "most played song on the radio in the entire 20th Century" according to BMI. It's great to see the young folks discover what I've known since I was a DJ and playing their hits in the 1960's. The Righteous Brothers were sensational, Amen!!
You know you are old when you just assume that everyone has already heard this song. It's a joy to watch the younger generation discover all of this old music. I'd suggest watching the 'groovy' 60s live performance video of Dionne Warwick singing Walk On By.
Their vocal performances are so good, it's easy to overlook how good everything else is. The background singers, the percussion section is perfect, the brass section... the arrangement itself is a masterpiece. Not taking anything away from the Righteous Brothers, obviously.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield made up the righteous brothers. They each sang a song that highlighted their voice. The blonde Bobby Hatfield passed a few years ago. Bill Medley still performs in Las Vegas! All their performances were live.
In Vegas, it is still a duo. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003 and in 2016 Bill Medley decided to find a new partner, Bucky Heard, and continue tours until today. They are still fantastic shows and I highly recommend them to anyone who likes their music. Bucky Heard couldn’t have been a better substitute for Bobby Hatfield.
I was so fortunate to see them together before Bobby died. I just wish I had the chance to see them when they were young. I was born in 1950, so I was a teenager in the sixties. They were hugely famous through the sixties.
Girl. your video just made my day. I'm only in my early thirties but this is the music I grew up with, from my father, and I love watching other people appreciate the magic.
I love the show. As a 70 year old baby boomer it ligjts up my heart when I see young people hear and appreciate great music. The Sixties will live on forever thanks to the music and people who are willing to experience the real thing. The young womans reaction brought me to tears.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield make up the RightyBrothers. They each had Solo careers so don’t be confused. This song was the most played song of the 20th century. The 60’s has the real music.
I never assume the race of a singer because I always felt talent does not have a color. So I’m always neutral even when I learn an artist true ethnicity.
I think Bill Medley, the deep baritone one, was heavily influenced by the the great black singers of the 50’s. Bobby Hatfield might say the same thing, but his voice range seemed to make him more of a standalone artist, but he also harmonized so greatly with Medley. Can’t believe that Bill is still performing and recording, albeit without Bobby who died back around 2003. I have been a big fan since 1965 when I was only in 7th grade.
@Bryan Wiley: We knew they were White. I remember watching them on television. My parents were big fans and had their records. You know, the 45 and 33 rpm records.
I’m so lucky to have been young when this beautiful music used to be played...so it’s been a real joy to watch your reaction and emotions as you heard it for the first time....we older people smile when we see how much equipment modern singers seem to have to use to get a record out these days...when watching them then..,they sang live, no miming just sang from the heart. Makes me wonder just how many modern songs will still be played in fifty years time? Really glad you took a step into the past, and discovered some true blue heart music, which is so rare these days. Bless you...keep listening to Golden Oldies...you will find real jewels 💎! 🙋♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻🥰💐☕️☕️💐💕
Loved your reaction, that's because they also do solos and it fit their voices some signs to do together some by themselves but there's is a music that stands the test of time I can see it in your eyes when you heard it you are about to cry so I know it grabs you and held you. People just don't sing like that anymore and the world is a sadder place because of it
The DYNAMIC DUO doesn't disappoint! Hard to believe Bill Medley is 81 still performing now with Bobby Heard. Bill had a solo hit Brown Eyed Woman in 68 with Blossoms with Darlene Love, incredible! She's a great singer also.
Hi I just wanted to say thank you for reintroducing me to music of my teens. I’m a 74 year old Scottish born Australian and when I watched your reaction to the Righteous Brothers I was delighted and remembered how great they were. I ordered a CD right away and am looking forward to rediscovering them. This was a good discovery as we have gone into a lockdown and can only leave home for essential reasons for six weeks. So thank you so much.
Them doing Soul and Inspiration is even better, songs like this just aren’t made anymore. In groups back in the day it was common for someone to step up for a solo as was done for Unchained.
They mostly sang together but each one did solo songs as well. Another great 60s song! How lucky was I to be a teenager with this music, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Surpremes, Jimi Hendrix? People love it because it’s raw talent, no auto tune. I love all your reactions to everything!✌🏻& love
You know I’ve watched a few reaction vids and when they sing “ I’ll get down on my knees “ I see what it does to women . I’ll defiantly take that to heart and use it . Look out wimmins !
It's HILARIOUS watching the REACTION to performances I watched and loved (and still do of course) over a half century ago!! This was a time in music that was PURE and HONEST loaded with raw TALENT and NO AUTO-TUNE.... The way TRUE music was always meant to be. Your generation is just now waking up to the REAL DEAL... Great job, and love watching ur expressions!!
The Righteous Brothers was a duo in the 1960s and 70s. Bobby Hatfield is the one who sang the solos "Unchained Melody" he won the toss of a coin for the solo. Billy Medley is the Bass and the other half of the duo at the time of this recording. They called themselves the "Righteous Brothers" from a comment of a fan made at one of their shows who yelled out, " that is righteous" after one of their songs. Bobby apparently died in 2003. When he recorded "Unchained Melody" in 1965 he was 25 and I was 16. I remember hearing him but the Beatles where gaining popularity with the younger people and I really regret having not had an interest at that time for music like this. Their music and others of their age was just great and lasting.
Bobby Hatfield is the one you heard singing Unchained Melody by himself. He is the tenor. He passed away in 2003. Unchained Melody is in Ghost. Bill Medley is the taller baritone. You've Lost That Loving Feeling is in Top Gun and their song The Time Of My Life is in Dirty Dancing. Two amazing voices, who were influenced by Motown.
Yes one of the very best! I was in service at Fort Devins in Mass. One day a van pulled up to our barracks and started unloading boxes. They were filled with the best audio equipment of the time. It was for my friend. He had stopped to help a black family whose car had broken down on the way to Logan airport in Boston. They told him they needed to get to New York because their daddy and husband was on his death bed. He drove them to the airport and later had there car towed to a repair shop for them. The family was that of Nat King Cole. They were paying him back for his kindness!
Great reaction! You looked like I felt the first time I heard it in the 60s and every time I hear it. It’s great to watch another woman respond from the heart. ❤️☺️👍
Jayy....you cracked me up when you said, "I do, I do!" lol Thanks for your reaction. Even though I have listened to this song hundreds of times, I always enjoy watching a reaction to it. Take care and be well.... Peace.
I watch every reaction to this song just to see the looks on faces when they get to the back and forth part of the song... and Bobby takes his voice to the heavens.
Bill is 6’8-9” and Bobby was 6’4-5. My ex met Bill in Vegas in the late 60s. He stood to shake her hand and she swore she was looking at his belt buckle. She was 5’. I met him in Vegas in the late 90s and told him the story. He got a good laugh at it. A real nice guy and great voice.
The Righteous Brothers are the two gentlemen you see but there is another up and coming star here :Cher. She singing the "I need your love"s and the "Baby-baby" It is her first recording job she was16 and Sonny brought her into the studio to impress her and one of the back-up singers didn't show. She also sang backup on the Crystals' "Da Do Ron Ron," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby, also
Bill Medley was one of the producers of Hatfield's Unchained Melody. When he heard/saw the final version, he mused with Spector how were they ever going to top thst.
I have four older brothers and sisters I grew with a lot of different music. This was music from my sisters and I always remember her saying "They weren't brothers and they weren't righteous" :D (And as you can imagine no one ever sang it like they did ever again)
The Righteous Brothers were Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. This performance was from 1964, when Medley and Hatfield were both 24 years old. “Unchained Melody” (which you listened to and reacted to) was actually a solo from Bobby Hatfield. Sadly, we lost Hatfield in 2003 at the age of 63. Bill Medley is still around and performing at 80 years old. He had a monster hit in 1988, in a duet he did with Jennifer Warnes, called “(I’ve Had the) Time of My Life”. It’s from the movie “Dirty Dancing”!
If you've ever seen the movie Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze, the song at the end of the movie is done by Bill Medley, the tall brother, and Jennifer Warnes.
Unchained Melody was sung by Bobby Hatfield live on the Andy Williams Show. Both he and Bill Medley - the other member of The Righteous Brothers - were there that night, but they had both decided that Bobby would sing Unchained Melody solo.
I'm 60. I was raised on this and the Motown sound. I had tears watching you fall in love with this! You have a new fan. Oh yeah. Unchained Melody only has the one dude, Sadly he has gone on to sing heaven's choir,
All songs are spot on ! Soul , harmony , talented pure clean voices , no AUTOTUNE !! Bobby made Unchained Melody his own , still owns it today . RIP Bobby , angelic concerts now 😇🥰
"Oh, that started right away." Yes! We are immediately into the vocals, in fact, before the very first instrument. Another reviewer nailed it when he called this song "relentless" - instead of repeating the first verse, as we'd expect, it goes into a new tune and new lyrics. Then they add on the harmony... and keep driving forward. I really enjoyed watching your reaction, Jayy. You helped make this song fresh and new again.
I was 11 when these guys first hit the charts in 1964 with their Blue-Eyed Soul. They originally had a different name until they did a gig for a bunch of soldiers. When they finished, as the story goes, a couple of black soldiers yelled at the stage over the applause "Man you brothers are Righteous!!! ". The name stuck. They were consummate performers and despite their distinctly divergent vocal ranges produced some of the best harmonies I've ever heard. As someone else pointed out this was back in the day of no digital effects...no autotune. These guys simply had talent on loan from God. Poor Bobby Hatfield (the blonde) also had really severe stage fright..prior to every performance he'd throw up, compose himself and get out to the audience and along with Bill, proceed to effortlessly deliver greatness There's other great songs to react to.. Soul and Inspiration, Ebb Tide, and one real bluesy rocker that gets overlooked on reactions: videos: I Just Want To Make Love To You.
You should do a reaction to Andy Williams with the Righteous Brothers doing "what'd I say ". Shows them really having a great time goofing off. Bobby does a bit of quick dancing, and does a great "gotcha on Bill".
My love - you just heard greatness. So happy you enjoyed it. These 2 blue eyed soul brothers were as popular as the Temptations and almost Elvis( but not quite).😀I dated to these songs on the radio then. So romantic if the DJ played this song after you saw a movie together - while on your way to the beach for a nighttime walk on the waters edge. Hmmm. I can see the moonlight on the water now as my heart raced as we stepped up into an empty lifeguard stand.Those were the days.😀👍❤️
They are superb. You have the most beautiful eyes. So expressive. Your feelings are there to see. The bros did mostly duets but also solos. Bobby Hatfield was a solo on unchained melody.

As an old woman, I love a young woman finding joy in these old recordings!
Same. I defy any woman, regardless of age or race, to not melt. Bill & Bobby had our number! 💘
It's nice to see a young lady loving music
The moment when ya realize your grandparents were cooler than you.
Yep, and I'm still cool. Old, but cool! I'm a great Grandma.
@@orchidjewels4823 Same here, they were my generation and like Motown, timeless music it all was the best.
And they aren't nearly as old as you thought. I've been amazed at how young my parents and grandparents got as I got older.
There are two in the group, the first one was a solo

I was singing along to this when all of a sudden my dad burst in. I thought he was mad that I was playing my music too loud. Instead he was thrilled. This was the music of his youth, he said. We spent the afternoon mastering the harmony call back. Such an awesome bonding moment.
😁 love to hear stories like this
I grew up in this era. We reacted the same way you are. The girls hearts were melting. It’s so fun watching your reaction. You are adorable!

It wasn't their hearts that were melting😂😂
How do you know you made a good song?
When 55 years later, it reaches people on the same emotional level that it did when you released it. This is a timeless classic. It has transcended generations and is still one of the most played songs in music history.
If you're looking for 2 more great songs, I would try Soul & Inspiration as well as Georgia On My Mind.
Unchained Melody was an agreed deal between the two. They would get to record a solo track on their albums. Both of them wanted to sing it, and it came down to a coin toss.
Love your energy. Looking forward to seeing more.
"You've lost that loving feeling" was the most played song on "radio" in the 20th century.
It also helps when Elvis Presley covers it...
they set the standards
the last 50 years has very little knowledge of what came before them
Sadly, Slayer never got around to making a cover.
Their voices go together like peaches and cream absolutely wonderful
“Baby I’ll get down on my knees for you.” Every woman in the world *YES PLEASE*
Every woman smiles at that part! May seem like a foolish question, but why?
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd thanks, that does make VERY good sense!

I never assume the race of a singer because I always felt talent does not have a color. So I’m always neutral even when I learn an artist true ethnicity.

@Bryan Wiley: We knew they were White. I remember watching them on television. My parents were big fans and had their records. You know, the 45 and 33 rpm records.
This music is responsible for the birth of multitudes of baby's.Back in the day,often referred to as panty dropping music😄
Just ask Tom Cruise
One of my mothers favorites
😄😄
Well, it was releesed in 1965, and I was born in 1966, so who knows, maby I am one of those babies.
Haven't heard that phrase in a few years!!! Lol

This music will go on forever. CLASSIC. It was the best of times it was the worst of times.
They were given their name by black fans. They shouted out to them “you righteous brothers”
Love watching you on this. Reminds me of taking a good friend to Disneyland, who has never been before. This song gets you right in the heart, right?

Having grown up with this level of artistry you mau better understand our disappointment with what passes for music today
Singers started using autotune as a crutch in the 90s and it has just gotten worse since.
You did good. I had to laugh cause everytime Bobby came in your eyes went wide, your face lit up and you smiled. And fanning your face cracks me up.
This was considered "blue eyed soul!" These guys were two of the absolute best vocalists you'll ever hear!!❤🎶❤
You make my heart so happy, watching you hear these songs for the first time!! love this so much!! grew up with this music and it is timeless!!
You know I’ve watched a few reaction vids and when they sing “ I’ll get down on my knees “ I see what it does to women . I’ll defiantly take that to heart and use it . Look out wimmins !

It's HILARIOUS watching the REACTION to performances I watched and loved (and still do of course) over a half century ago!! This was a time in music that was PURE and HONEST loaded with raw TALENT and NO AUTO-TUNE.... The way TRUE music was always meant to be. Your generation is just now waking up to the REAL DEAL... Great job, and love watching ur expressions!!
Dude, no auto tune, but it was still a typical reverb and echo chamber distorted Phil Spector "Wall of Sound" production.
The Righteous Brothers was a duo in the 1960s and 70s. Bobby Hatfield is the one who sang the solos "Unchained Melody" he won the toss of a coin for the solo. Billy Medley is the Bass and the other half of the duo at the time of this recording. They called themselves the "Righteous Brothers" from a comment of a fan made at one of their shows who yelled out, " that is righteous" after one of their songs. Bobby apparently died in 2003. When he recorded "Unchained Melody" in 1965 he was 25 and I was 16. I remember hearing him but the Beatles where gaining popularity with the younger people and I really regret having not had an interest at that time for music like this. Their music and others of their age was just great and lasting.
Bobby Hatfield is the one you heard singing Unchained Melody by himself. He is the tenor. He passed away in 2003. Unchained Melody is in Ghost. Bill Medley is the taller baritone. You've Lost That Loving Feeling is in Top Gun and their song The Time Of My Life is in Dirty Dancing.
Two amazing voices, who were influenced by Motown.
kek Medley?
That has to be the most perfect surname for a singer I've ever heard 😂
Time of my life was a duet of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes for Dirty Dancing
Bill Medley is still touring today as the Righteous Brothers with Bucky Heard who replaced Bobby Hatfield after he passed. Great show!
Definitely influenced by Motown and also influenced many Motown artists in turn.
God bless you for playing this...signed, old white that loves soul.
They created Phil Spector's wall of sound with there voices.
It’s okay to cry. I almost started crying watching you watch it.
Go back and listen to Nat King Cole. He has an incredibly smooth voice.
I love Nat King Cole. He has a voice that's like velvet.
Yes one of the very best! I was in service at Fort Devins in Mass. One day a van pulled up to our barracks and started unloading boxes. They were filled with the best audio equipment of the time. It was for my friend. He had stopped to help a black family whose car had broken down on the way to Logan airport in Boston. They told him they needed to get to New York because their daddy and husband was on his death bed. He drove them to the airport and later had there car towed to a repair shop for them. The family was that of Nat King Cole. They were paying him back for his kindness!
Oh yes he did Nat's voice was beautiful.
These 2 guys were definitely the "Kings of blue eyed soul"
04:04 😆😂🤣
Righteous Brothers “If you would only love me like you used to do”
TheJayyShow “I do, I do”
Great reaction! You looked like I felt the first time I heard it in the 60s and every time I hear it. It’s great to watch another woman respond from the heart. ❤️☺️👍
Jayy....you cracked me up when you said, "I do, I do!" lol Thanks for your reaction. Even though I have listened to this song hundreds of times, I always enjoy watching a reaction to it. Take care and be well.... Peace.
Two words, "DIMASH SOS" from The Singer, he's the best singer in the world!
I watch every reaction to this song just to see the looks on faces when they get to the back and forth part of the song... and Bobby takes his voice to the heavens.
This was one of the first albums I bought back when I was 12...them and Patsy Cline.
bill medley is the taller guy in the video, here he is some years later ------Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. The Time Of My Life
he also looks like another famous bill.
Here's the song as it was used in the final scene of the movie "Dirty Dancing" -- ruclips.net/video/WpmILPAcRQo/видео.html
Bill is 6’8-9” and Bobby was 6’4-5. My ex met Bill in Vegas in the late 60s. He stood to shake her hand and she swore she was looking at his belt buckle. She was 5’. I met him in Vegas in the late 90s and told him the story. He got a good laugh at it. A real nice guy and great voice.
The Righteous Brothers are the two gentlemen you see but there is another up and coming star here :Cher. She singing the "I need your love"s and the "Baby-baby" It is her first recording job she was16 and Sonny brought her into the studio to impress her and one of the back-up singers didn't show. She also sang backup on the Crystals' "Da Do Ron Ron," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby, also
I love your reactions .. it's always nice to see a young person "get" what us old folks have loved for years !
I find it awesome that people feel the same way as they did back when it first came out
“Un-frikn’ believable”, Sweet Lady, that’s EXACTLY the Reaction, they were looking for. spot on my dear.
your reaction hit millions of women the same way... and yes The Righteous Bros ARE 2 people
Try, the PLATTERS, “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”!
Or "My Prayer". Tony Williams was incredible. The other Tony Williams (of Miles Davis/Weather Report fame) ,was incredible, too.
or "Only You" or Twilight Time".
There are all good, especially “The Great Pretender”.
The Platters were one of my favorites. Yes do any son like smoke gets in your eys
THT NICE BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUS BROS.
Yes, they were the Righteous Brothers ... a singing duo.
This duo grabs you by the soul... and their vocal range is awesome i grew up listening to them. My mom loved their music
Another great song "Your my soul & Inspiration"
Sometimes they would solo a song if it fit their voice.
Bill Medley was one of the producers of Hatfield's Unchained Melody. When he heard/saw the final version, he mused with Spector how were they ever going to top thst.
They had a deal that each one would have a solo or 2 per album.
Those songs were credited to The Righteous Brother.
Their voices could melt ice cream! Soooo smooth!
One of the greatest love songs ever written/performed, and this was 60+ years ago.
I have four older brothers and sisters I grew with a lot of different music. This was music from my sisters and I always remember her saying "They weren't brothers and they weren't righteous" :D (And as you can imagine no one ever sang it like they did ever again)
Two of the most amazing singers their music is beautiful and timeless.
The Righteous Brothers were Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. This performance was from 1964, when Medley and Hatfield were both 24 years old. “Unchained Melody” (which you listened to and reacted to) was actually a solo from Bobby Hatfield. Sadly, we lost Hatfield in 2003 at the age of 63. Bill Medley is still around and performing at 80 years old. He had a monster hit in 1988, in a duet he did with Jennifer Warnes, called “(I’ve Had the) Time of My Life”. It’s from the movie “Dirty Dancing”!
If you've ever seen the movie Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze, the song at the end of the movie is done by Bill Medley, the tall brother, and Jennifer Warnes.
Never seen it
I was going to suggest that song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" that's 2 songs that indirectly were in Swayze movies
Jennifer warnes also sang the theme song for growing pains and Bill medley sang the theme for its spin off just the 10 of us
Unchained Melody was sung by Bobby Hatfield live on the Andy Williams Show. Both he and Bill Medley - the other member of The Righteous Brothers - were there that night, but they had both decided that Bobby would sing Unchained Melody solo.
They really are an emotional roller coaster. Love the blue eyed soul.
If anyone ever played this for me, I would immediately fall back in love with them.
I was hoping you would eventually listen to them together...I knew you’d love their amazing harmony as well as their outstanding individual voices.
I'm 60. I was raised on this and the Motown sound. I had tears watching you fall in love with this! You have a new fan. Oh yeah. Unchained Melody only has the one dude, Sadly he has gone on to sing heaven's choir,
All songs are spot on ! Soul , harmony , talented pure clean voices , no AUTOTUNE !!
Bobby made Unchained Melody his own , still owns it today . RIP Bobby , angelic concerts now 😇🥰
" I do i do" Brilliant. You are sooo good.
04:38 - “These guys sound beautiful together” - Me thinking: Just wait...
Oh my goodness it is so fun watching you younger kids listening to our music and liking it!!! Love you. Responses dear!!😜😀💝😀😜
"Oh, that started right away." Yes! We are immediately into the vocals, in fact, before the very first instrument. Another reviewer nailed it when he called this song "relentless" - instead of repeating the first verse, as we'd expect, it goes into a new tune and new lyrics. Then they add on the harmony... and keep driving forward. I really enjoyed watching your reaction, Jayy. You helped make this song fresh and new again.
I was 9 when I started singing this…my sister played this and many many others for me
I was 11 when these guys first hit the charts in 1964 with their Blue-Eyed Soul. They originally had a different name until they did a gig for a bunch of soldiers. When they finished, as the story goes, a couple of black soldiers yelled at the stage over the applause "Man you brothers are Righteous!!! ". The name stuck.
They were consummate performers and despite their distinctly divergent vocal ranges produced some of the best harmonies I've ever heard. As someone else pointed out this was back in the day of no digital effects...no autotune. These guys simply had talent on loan from God.
Poor Bobby Hatfield (the blonde) also had really severe stage fright..prior to every performance he'd throw up, compose himself and get out to the audience and along with Bill, proceed to effortlessly deliver greatness
There's other great songs to react to..
Soul and Inspiration, Ebb Tide, and one real bluesy rocker that gets overlooked on reactions: videos: I Just Want To Make Love To You.
They were known as The Paramours until the marines christened them with the name Righteous Brothers.
You should do a reaction to Andy Williams with the Righteous Brothers doing "what'd I say ". Shows them really having a great time goofing off. Bobby does a bit of quick dancing, and does a great "gotcha on Bill".
Those two dude have more soul than a Nike tennis shoe!
Love that analogy😁
No Autotune...terrible mics in fact and they produce this...stunning...real talent
Bill Medley (the one with deep voice) sang the song "I had the time of my life" from the movie Dirty Dancing.
I just love her reactions.
AAAND
Welcome to real music. With a message, no auto-tune, and real talent.
Thank you so much for doing this video, The Righteous Brothers were before my time but I loved their songs. And I reacted to them the same as you.
My love - you just heard greatness. So happy you enjoyed it. These 2 blue eyed soul brothers were as popular as the Temptations and almost Elvis( but not quite).😀I dated to these songs on the radio then. So romantic if the DJ played this song after you saw a movie together - while on your way to the beach for a nighttime walk on the waters edge. Hmmm. I can see the moonlight on the water now as my heart raced as we stepped up into an empty lifeguard stand.Those were the days.😀👍❤️
They are superb. You have the most beautiful eyes. So expressive. Your feelings are there to see. The bros did mostly duets but also solos. Bobby Hatfield was a solo on unchained melody.
Bill Medley is the one that sang "Unchained Melody".
Blue Eyed Soul at it's finest
