Here is my new reaction to You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin: ruclips.net/video/_sBHNzQwytA/видео.htmlsi=3x3Kec-bEjV7Yzkt . Thanks for the recomendation. I enjoyed it a lot! What's next ?
You'll Never Walk Alone
Live performance by The Righteous Brothers
Finest Ballard ever sung. No question at all. Old school. Blue eyed soul, brother!
This was my first time and I really enjoyed it a lot !
I saw them in person, at their club; The Hop in Lakewood Ca.
@@MarioHernandez-te9gw Yer old. 8-:) I'm not far behind though, I was in grade school.
No auto tune...just pure talent...
So true!
Elvis is wonderful but this is Bobby Hatfield’s song. One of the best live performances EVER.
Thanks for the note !
Righteous Brothers are great. Beautiful vocals.
Thanks for visiting!! I think you are the only Elvis fan to leave a not here ! Appreciate it !🥰
Bobby was 24 years old singing this. His parents were in the audience and it was the first time for his Mom to hear him sing it live so he knocked it out of the park for her. Bobby Hatfield is his name and he has many solos. Check out his solo "Summertime" and also another one "Ebb Tide"
Will chek it out shortly so stay tuned!
Another fact, Bobby Hatfield was sick at the time of this live performance. He had a cold and didn’t feel good. So just imagine how nervous he must have been to do a good job. This song belongs to Bobby Hatfield no matter who else attempts to sing it.
After this, Summertime....!!
Please make sure when you react to Summertime it's the Bobby Hatfield live performance 1965.@@BimuReacts
100% pure talent. Their music is known as blue eyed soul, they were such a popular duo. This live performance of Unchained Melody is the definitive version.
The Everly Brothers are actual brothers who had fabulous harmonies and I recommend listening to their music that was popular in the 50's & 60's.
Elvis and Sam Cooke sang this song and masterfully but Bobby Hatfield has been the champion of this song over the past 59 years. This song is timeless and will forever be so. Bobby Hatfield is a counter tenor and his partner Bill Medley is a baritone. Bobby has passed away and Bill, in his eighties still performs. He knew Elvis personally and he tells stories about Elvis on RUclips. ❤
Bobby owns this song!
The Host Andy Williams is a great singer also many Hits under his Belt
Is he the one singing or the one hosting ? 🥰
@@BimuReacts Andy williams is the Host the Andy Williams show he had many Hits including Can't take my eye of you that is worth reacting too ✌
This song has been recorded by many artists but it will always and forever be Bobby Hatfield's song. The Righteous Brothers were 25 at this time. Bobby passed away in 2003. Bill Medley is still living.
Thanks for the info. RIP to the legend. Just reacted to(You've Lost the Loving Feeling) : ruclips.net/video/_sBHNzQwytA/видео.htmlsi=3x3Kec-bEjV7Yzkt
Remember this was Live TV back in 1965. RIP Bobby.
This is beautiful, next you should hear Bobby sing “Summertime”.
Will do !
This song has been covered by so many, but Bobby is the only one who does it justice🖖🏻🇨🇦
Does my heart good to see someone your age embrace this music.. I was 12 in 1965 when Bobby sang this on the Andy Willaims show, which is what they called a variety show back then..
Wow!! That must have been fun!
what a ending my God😊
It is so wonderful to see someone so young discovering such great classic music. More and more young people are showing up on utube and discovering great music. Your reactions are a joy to watch. So, they are not really brothers and if you want to hear them singing together look up "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" the live version. You will be blown away by the differences in their voices and how well they blend together. By the way this performance was in 1965 and the one I suggested is from 1964. Real voices no auto tune.
Thank you so much! Makes me happy to hear that ❤️ sure ! Will check it out !
I was 17 and watched this TV show.
This is Bobby Hatfield probably the greatest tenor of all time! The other Brother is Bill Medley. Listen to You've Lost that Lovin'Feelin. Both of them sing it. Lovin' Feeling was the most played song on radio and television in the 20th century!
Thanks for letting me know !
Here you go(You've Lost the Loving Feeling) : ruclips.net/video/_sBHNzQwytA/видео.htmlsi=3x3Kec-bEjV7Yzkt
Great reaction!!!
Bobby sounds quite breathless and chesty and then belts out probably the best live recording EVER! ❤ Nice to meet you. 🙋♀️ P.S. great reaction.
He sounds better than any one singing this song.
Written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained" - music by Alex North, lyrics by Hy Zaret. The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. The film’s producer wanted to include the word 'unchained' in his lyrics but Zaret refused to include "unchained" and it became known as 'Unchained Melody' even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained." Instead, Zaret focused on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time." There are approx. 670 artists who have done this song, in multiple languages. The Righteous Bros. always have been amazing -- unusual voices that work very well -- always loved them.
So perfectly said! Clear , to the point and organized! I really enjoyed reading this !
@@BimuReacts Thanks so much. I always enjoy delving into background info - spend lots of time researching -- what makes it challenging is discerning what's true & what isn't. The most difficult is anything concerning Elvis -- there is a lot of misinformation out there -- people who make comments on reactors' sites w-wrong information, articles w-wrong information, & some books written that aren't always correct; & believe it or not, even some information/stories from "his people" -- those who who were around him most of his life) that isn't always correct.
Hy Zaret refused to put anything about prison into the lyrics. By doing that, he made the song applicable to anyone separated from a loved one.
Bobby's rendition is outstanding. Regarding the changes Bobby made to the melody, Alex North loved them. They actually met some years later. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in order to hear their conversation.
Bobby had an amazing range which is considered a counter tenor. Such a beautiful love song. Check out their other hits.
Excited to react to it next week. Is Bobby the one singing?
@@BimuReactsyes..!!
Told you ! You would love it ! Nice
Thanks for the suggestions! I loved it!
@@BimuReacts You're welcome anytime, keep smiling love it !
The Righteous Brothers are amazing together or doing their solos. This version by Bobby Hatfield is live and the gold standard. They rerecorded it 25 yrs later after the movie Ghost featured the song & it was a hit all over again. Hear both of them on the Ed Sullivan Variety Hour live singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". Sooo many songs in their music library. They were regulars on a TV show called Shindig from 1964-1966 so you can find videos from that show where they sang together or did solos. Your reaction to Unchained Melody blew you away as it does to everyone who loves pure talent & music to their ears and soul.
So true! Thanks for the note! I always enjoy reading your notes!
Wait to you hear the both of them Sing Together it's awesome
Any recommendations on that ?
@@BimuReacts My recommendation "You've Lost that Lovin' feelin" by the Righteous Brothers ! Great song, Let me know when you're ON ! Have a good one ! Both of them are singing so 👌
You'll Never Walk Alone is absolutely wonderful
❤🎉Thank you for the great reaction and for appreciating every artist!
Thank you!
I just watched your reaction again and I enjoyed seeing your appreciation and understanding of longing for the love of others. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Hey Bimu, since you are delving into the past a bit here is a suggestion of another singer, Jim Croce. He is an American singer from the late sixties to the early seventies. He represents a different genre that was popular at that time sort of Folk Rock. His music was finally making it to the charts in 1973 when we lost him in a plane crash. I think you would really like his song, "Photographs and Memories" and then " I've Got a Song". He wrote about life around him and has both a serious side and a humorous side. There are many songs of his to explore after those two. Keep up the fun!!!!
Thank you for the great suggestions! Would appreciate if you could sent me a link to the song too ? 🥰
Great reaction. He has an incredible vocal range. Tim Foust is another wonderful singer with a very wide range. (Will You Still Love Me / Stay)
Thank you so much ! Will be reacting to their songs tomorrow so stay tuned around 3:30 to 4 pm
Nice reaction, Bobby Hatfield has the most acclaim and popular version of this song,check out the origin and history of this classic song to hear some of the 1,500 versions. From the original singer Todd Duncan,who sang it in the 1955 movie "UNCHAINED "to Elvis, his good friend Roy Hamilton, Al Hibler, Sam Cooke,the Manhattan Transfer,and Home Free just to name a few.
Thank you so much for the info ! Glad you enjoyed it
I am so glad you are sharing this so young can see it !!!❤and enjoy older songs !!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Bobby had a cold while singing this.
This was Bobby Hatfield

Good reaction, good comments. Thank Gd you didn’t stop the song every 15 seconds to emote 😆. What’s so special about this video is that it captured a live performance that will go down as unique in its mix of vocal smoothness and emotional connection.
Thank you so much !
Here’s a good one heartbreak hotel

I can't wait for you to see them sing together Bimu! "You've Lost the Loving Feeling" is the one to start with! The Live version is a must!

Here you go(You've Lost the Loving Feeling) : ruclips.net/video/_sBHNzQwytA/видео.htmlsi=3x3Kec-bEjV7Yzkt
This was a song written for the 1955 movie Unchained. It's about a man in prison who's about to get out and he's wondering if his wife will still be there for him.
Interestingly enough, the Righteous Brothers version came out in 1965 during the middle of the Vietnam War. It then became a very personal song to the guys in the military because they then wondered if their wives or girlfriends would be there for them when they came back. It's a beautiful song and Bobby Hatfield's version is the GOAT.
Thank you for the info ! 🥰
Elvis actually did a few Righteous Brothers songs
Unchained Melody:
Bobby Hatfield live performance.
The Andy Williams Show-
Episode #4.5
Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965:
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song.
*In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63.
The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side.
* The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
* This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

Thank you so much for the information! 🥰
Yes, bring your sister back and do Versailles Faith and Decision live with English Subtitles.
This is sort of a Love Song.... really a song about a close friend that died.
The bands original bassust died just after they got a record deall and were recording their first album.
This song is dedicated to him.
Its a long song, but it has several parts.
Not biological brothers but still one the greatest duos in music! I used to have my dad's old 45s of this song and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Unfortunately, they ended up disappearing during a move.
Will do that this Sunday🥰
Ditto on Summertime!
Will do it ! This or next week so stay tuned !
This song was in the movie Ghost starring Patrick Swayzie and Demi Moore and whoopi goldburg quite a touching scene
Thanks for the note !
#GabrielHenrique I leave as a suggestion for your reaction, the talented Gabriel Henrique, with covers by Stevie Tyler, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and much more. Each cover is a surprise.
Sure ! Thanks for the suggestion
Bill was just joking.
They are not brithers, thats the name of their group.
I love Elvis' cover of this song but this became Bobby Hatfield's song when he first sang it. No one does it better than Bobby and I've heard several covers of it.
They aren't real brothers. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. They sound great together or apart when doing their solo songs. It waa fairly common for one or both to do a solo song on their albums.
This song was so peaceful and iconic !
Are you that oblivious, to ask, are they real brothers?
You heard the interview, were Bobby says that they are named; Hatfield and Medley!😂
😂😂thought they were jocking
Check out Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain live at Monterrey Pop". It will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED.
Will do it shortly !
Este melodia cu cele mai multe cover'uri / cam 1000/ însă a rămas in memoria publicului in interpretarea lui Bobby Hatfield,de asemenea iti recomand filmul in care a fost soundtrack : "The Ghost"
Elvis version is good, but this live version is light years above that
Yayy
This song was written for a prison movie Unchained in 1955. Bobby covered it in 1965. This song has been covered over 1500 times by multiple people and in multiple languages. WAS NOT AN ELVIS ORIGINAL. According to his singing partner Bill Medley, they had agreed to do one solo piece each per album. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss.
Thanks for the info ! 🥰🙏
Coin toss ? For real 🤣 that’s funny
If you pay attention you will hear Bobby explaining to Andy Williams that his name is Hatfield and the “skinny one” is Medley.
They aren’t brothers.
So true ! The Band name got me confused as it says “Righteous Brothers )
Gives me chills they are not brother
Try summertime buy same guy
Will do it for sure !
No, they weren't brothers. But it didn't really matter. Talent is talent. Period.
Facts !
A little advice for you, bro: I've watched a few of your videos now and on every single one of them, the video and the sound on the music videos you show drift out of sync from the jump. As someone who does video production for a living, I recommend you consider changing the frame rate with which you record yourself (since you can't change the frame rate at which the music videos were encoded). Most of the videos on RUclips (and certainly all of them that were broadcast on American television like this one) were recorded at 29.97 frames per second (FPS), or 30 FPS. If I had to guess, I'd guess you're shooting yourself at 24 FPS (23.976 FPS). So while YOU are staying in sync with YOUR video, since the music video is being added as a picture-in-icture to the video shot of YOU, the frame rates of these two sources are simply not matching up, so of course they drift out of sync. It makes your videos very hard to watch. Now you know why. Good luck fixing it. At least now you know how.
Hey thank you for the advice ! That’s so true ! I used my screen record in iPad and I notice that. I will try to adjust that and hopefully it will work ! ❤️
@@BimuReacts I believe all the screen record option on iOS devices records at 30 fps. The music videos on You tube are probably encoded at 29.97 fps. So that could be the discrepancy. Check your camera to find out what frame rate it records at. Then you’ll need to convert the screen recording to whatever frame rate your camera is recording you at convert the video to the matching frame rate and then play that video when you’re recording your reaction. Good luck.
They are not really brothers.
Bobby Hatfield is the one with the beautiful counter tenor voice singing this song.
They both wanted to sing this first solo on one of their albums so they flipped a coin. Fortunately, Bobby won. His beautiful tenor voice is perfectly suited to this song.
Thanks for the info !
You look like youre going to cry young man.
It’s about a man in prison singing to his girlfriend….. There’s a movie with the same name……
Good to know ! Thanks for the info !
@@BimuReacts “Unchained” is the name of the movie
They are not blood brother….
I love the Righteous Brothers.Bill Medley was a good friend of Elvis.This song was originnally recorded in the 1950 s.The Righteous Brothers are great but I much prefer Elvis' more heart rendering version.Elvis sings it so differently from anyone else.Elvis is king.
Thanks for the note! Will be reacting to their other song tomorrow!
On his best day, Elvis couldn't come close to Bobby. Listen to Summertime and Somewhere and Bring it on home to me and Guess who. So many. So many Bobby left us añd thank God for youtube so we can still hear and see Bobby and Bill.
I'm glad you heard Bobby Hatfield sing this. Elvis Presley's version was just plain awful. Painful to listen to.
