My wife and I danced to this beautiful melody at every weekly school-sponsored dance, from the time we were teenagers. Through the years, my bride and I continued to hold each other close, as we danced at her high school reunions. About three years ago, she contracted Parkinsonism Lewy Body dementia. She passed away this May, just one month short of our 49th wedding anniversary. Now, I listen to Unchained Melody, with tears in my eyes, and a broken heart. Please tell those close to you how much you love and appreciate them. Because, no matter how many times you may say it, in the end, it won’t have been enough. May God bless you!
I love this song,I can't understand some of the words and it is still so beautiful. I'm sorry it makes you so sad now because you miss your wife. My wife and I have been together 21 years and couldn't imagine loosing her,it's painful just thinking about it. God bless you Mr.Wilcox
And one of the most beautiful live performances, of this or any song, with an incredible and absolutely effortless range and control. Bobby Hatfield was a truly gifted countertenor (aka contra tenor), the rarest male singing voice type, and this performance was a true masterpiece. His parents were in that audience, and he was striving to give the highest quality performance, to make them proud. He succeeded admirably. That we lost him to drugs is a tragedy, but the music he left behind for us, along with his partner, is a true blessing.
Oh I'm with you Jean! Only discovered this video a few months back. Gorgeous, gorgeous looking guy, and what a voice. Loved to have had a slow dance with Bobby.❤❤
This man sings 20 notes in the song..........bridge from chest to falsetto and jumping octaves is amazing and rare.....new singers must just weep at Bobby and his skill. This is one of the prettiest songs ever and stands the test of time.
The day before Bobby Hatfield passed away my wife and I saw them perform in concert. The only time we saw them and so unfortunate that he passed away. It was an "OUTSTANDING" show to say the least...
@@hendrikdebruin4012 Certain music has that effect on me also. This is one of those songs that takes your soul to another place and time not of this world.
It's called unadulterated unconditional unfaltering love of one man's life serenading his heart desires of total surrender for her Bobby H. nailed this exhibition of his skill and heart chills is putting it mildly touching the heart so tenderly with caresses of an Angel 💙🙏❤️...
This was one of my grandma’s favorite songs. She passed away 8 hours ago… she was one of the greatest and most loving people to ever grace this earth! An angel has returned home! I love you grandma! I’ll think of you always, especially when I hear this song. I hope to continue to make you proud ❤️
@@castlow3502 yes .. he was recovering from a cold and if you listen to the low notes you can hear the slightly nasal tones it caused. Unless you are familiar with how crystal clear all his registers were, you probably wouldn't notice. He had always suffered from stage fright and this time his parents were in the audience, seeing him perform in a professional setting for the first time. A lot of pressure on a young man....
This rendition of "Unchained Melody" makes me cry. It is sung so beautifully, so full of emotion. Bobby Hatfield is the only one who sings this song that brings chills to my body. It is a masterpiece that will never go away! Absolutely Righteous Brothers!!!
He sounds like an angel. He's classy and lovely. I'd be proud if men were remembered as this. So they know this world hasn't always been about entitled and egoistic people. Send this to space.
I don’t think the audience realised the magnitude of what they witnessed there. They probably thought it was great singing but little did they know one of the all time classic was being executed and delivered effortlessly right in front of their eyes. Wow that voice....

@@tubester4567 lol... well the other 'brother' lost the coin-flip (although the story goes he was always going to let Bobby sing the solo since his mother was in the crowd) for the solo act during the show.
He was a nervous performer but this time he was extremely nervous because his mother was in the audience for the first time, he absolutely nailed the song!!
The most impressive part is just how calm he is the entire time. Most of the time you see singers look like they are straining really hard to get some notes, this guy looks like he is just having a casual conversation lmao.
One of the greatest singers and songs of all times. Remember this was live. Hardly any singers today have as pure and wonderful voice as Bobby Hatfield. Now they need extravagant lights and dancers and electronic noise to drown out their insignificant voices. There were many great singers like Bobby in the old days that didn’t need gimmicks: just Pure talent.Sad to see so many untalented pop stars making millions ( I don’t personally care) but people with true genuine talent had to travel all over to do shows to make an adequate living.
So I saw this video originally randomly on Reddit. Know the song, didn’t know the artist. Just got sent Top 200 singers from Rolling Stones (knew it would be a garbage list and is). But made me think about this again. Couldn’t find the name for 30mins and forgot the song. Just started looking up Top 100 male singers lists to try and find it again. I don’t get why he is on zero of them…. Like I am clearly not a big fan of his. And still, he has an incredible voice and was popular. I don’t know why he’s seemingly been forgotten in a lot of places.
@@junaself3258 I agree. Great voice and handsome man. Recently Gianluca Ginoble of the Italian group Il Volo paid his tribute to this fantastic singer and I found it quite good. Listen it, if you like. Best regards from Italy.
I am so glad that the production value was just incredibly done. This song is about a prisoner in jail who missed his love and he wrote this song while he was in jail. There is a movie about this song, and the gentleman who produced was Bill Medley, who was Bobby Hatfield’s other half of the Righteous, who is a baratone. He couldn’t sleep one night, becaus he kept thinking about this song. So he went into the studio and dubbed some of the parts and remixed other’s. It was around 4am. These men are the most incredible singers I’ve ever heard. They are matched so well vocally and the raw emotion is so high that women keep playing it, and can’t be quiet because they are overwhelmed. Recorded in 1971, and the gentleman who wrote the lyrics is virtually unknown today. In the original man who sang the song that the film was based on is from Poland. He has a totally different voice than either of the Righteous Brothers and a delivery that is also stunning. His voice has a thick accent and it is difficult to understand at times. The remixed version was a hit instantaneously, and is considered to be one of the top 10 songs every released. This arrangement was done by the Righteous Brothers. It is so well known and has a bizarre effect on almost every person who hears it. It induces a trance-like state that is rarely seen in pop music, but is common in those who sing opera and are classically trained. I can never listen yo it only once. It is so many couple’s song and it surfacing repeatedly. The effect causes people to become almost religious about the single. I don’t think anyone will ever do it better. Unfortunately, Bobby Hatfield who nails the high notes every time, is often considered to have the best octivate range
This song smoked a cigarette after he sang it....Seriously one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. He hit over two dozen notes perfectly....flawlessly.
I am a 1956 model. I got to see and hear true greatness that I am sure will never be repeated. The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Orbison, Gary Moore, Jim Morrison and The Doors. I like a variety of music and even at 65 I work out listening to Aim To Head 'dark techno'. But the blessing of modern technology like RUclips lets me go back in time and just for a little while I am long ago in a land far away...
i hope so i always wondered what it was like to live during the time of these legends, and if it was realized/appreciated of just how much of a privilege it was to see them in action
@Tony Keeton yeah it's not like artist can just lip sync and do it worse than today's lip sync, and it's not like autotune can make music more "interesting" with playing with autotuning sounds, like daft punk or post malone sounding sound
No auto-tune No playback Steady as a rock Live on stage Calm as a spring wind Broadcast on TV and he f@€%ing NAILS it ! Nerves of steel Voice of an angel
Story goes that Bill Medley asked Phil Spector what HE was supposed to do while Bobby sang this solo.... Spector supposedly replied. 'Don't worry 'bout it. You'll be too BUSY going to the BANK!!!!!"
I am 69 and grew up on The Beatles. I ignored this song all my life and just attributed its popularity to pure hype. I finally gave it a listen to about six months ago and I must admit that I was terribly wrong. Immediately shot into my top 5 and is without a doubt one of the two greatest love songs ever recorded. When you're wrong you're wrong and boy, was I terribly wrong.
@@bayviewinnhomerak4404 he became very wealthy because of it, and a legend i mean cmon, other than taking care of your family what else could a man want? To be remembered as a legend.
@@TheTedterrific non-sense. It's the best live performance of this song of all time, that I agree on. But many singers, including male singers do have much wider octave ranges that blow this song out of the water in terms of talent.
There are many versions of this song. But Bobby Hatfield owned it. He nailed it. The melody, the voice, the timing, there is magic in it. Everything about Bobby's rendition is unbelievable.
Apparently his parents were in the audience, making him even more nervous. But that smile at the end says, "Nailed it!" Or whatever expression they used in 1965!
I remember the first time hearing this song. It was 1965 i was on my way to pick up my girlfriend, this song came on the radio. I pulled into someone driveway just to sit and listen to this masterpiece, i was totally blown away and still am. To this a this is my number one favorite song. I was lucky enough to see them in concert in 1966 , great show.
Wow you were lucky! The time when music had a soul. meaning. When people sang about love, not meaningless $ex. And what a great song, one of my all time favourites, bring tears to my eyes ever time I listen to it
My Dad (while in the Army)this was his favorite song to my Mom..and on July 3rd will be celebrating their 65 year anniversary! Will surprise them and play it!
I’ve always envied ppl who grew up with both their mom and dad, and then to have them still together as you become an adult must be wonderful. You are so blessed.
@Allen Cummings....Agreed. 62 and a Widower for 29 years. MY 'true love' LOVED this one. Chin up Sir. It may never hurt any less, but it CAN hurt less often. God Bless...~Eli.
I am a 57 yr. old female. Today marks 2 yrs. ago, that I lost my precious Dad. I remember as a little girl, my Dad sitting on the edge of his bed in the back room, playing his guitar and singing this song over and over for hours. He sang it to perfection and if people could post pictures on here and if I knew how, my Daddy when he was young, looked very much like Bobby Hatfield...so good looking. On this day, 2nd anniversary of losing my Dad, I listen to this song alone over and over for hours. You can't just walk away. I play it in honor of my Dad. I still have my Donny Osmond albums and he sings this song, but, no one can sing it like this guy and like my Daddy did. I LOVE YOU, DAD and I miss you terribly. I close my eyes and listen to this and am taken back to you in your room. Bobby Hatfield...you always will be a legend. I love all your songs, but, this the most...hauntingly beautiful and amazing beyond words.
There are a lot of great and talended singers out there, even today. Many that I admire. But I have never seen anyone who can just open their mouth, so effortlessly, and out comes perfection. How is that even possible?
AnneSvensen I don’t believe I have ever saw a comment about a singer so Beautiful as this one by you and directed at Bobby Hatfield who is the singer of this Beautiful song, your comment would have been Heartfelt by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers for sure..!!!
Trust me on this one. There's a guy that can do this maybe even better (he reaches higher notes) but he sings in Spanish. Either way his voice is powerful and natural. So yes there's talent around.
Bobby’s air control during this performance is just absolutely ridiculously good. He was voice healthy and well prepared. Probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen. What a time to be alive. Damn
I'm a jazz/60s crooner/blue eyed soul vocalist. This is the holy grail. The most difficult song to sing of all time. Not just the vocals which Bobby's here could not be more perfect but, you must have the confidence and 100% in the moment. Make the audience understand the pain of the song and beautiful. Incredible.
I knew Bobby since I first got to meet Bill and Bobby is San Jose, CA in 1963. He was a great guy and after seeing him and Bil about 50-60 times, you really get to know them. This song was written by Alex North (music) and Hy Zaret (lyrics). This is from "The Andy Williams Show" 10-25-1965. It was a greatest live version I ever heard Bob sing.
Dear Miguel .... great time back in the 50's-80's music. Bobby Hatfield] on this live version is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When great music was the norm.
+Roger C this was great, and I find some others that were also good during that time, but I don't know all. P.S. Thanks some one replied (; and I get to listen again. (Notifications)
This dude is a live sound person’s dream. He knows how to move the mic closer or farther away from his absolutely freaking fantastic voice and the person working the board doesn’t have to ride the fader. A true professional.
I'll be 73 next month, disabled Vietnam Vet and listened to this song back then. This is God's Love manifested in this man's voice. Thank you God! Thank you Bobby! JP jr.
He doesn't even furrow his brow when he swings into the higher notes. How is that possible? His voice clears away everything but the absolute truth of the song--love, longing, loneliness. A masterpiece.
hi i be a Belgium gy and live momrently in Madagascar " Elvis Presly was and Stil the BEST sanger of The Word Excuse me For the Fault i Make Cause i Speak German French an Netherland i Wisch go a Good an Hapy New year
@@a.jherbert5436 I'm not Betty, this was a vintage classic LIVE 1965 performance not studio there would have been very little editing post {after} performance if any at all. Amplifiers were primarily used in 1965. Betty was correct in stating that there was no 'auto tune' because indeed it did not exist at all back then.
And that kids today ... that's how it's done. No matter how many hundreds of times I've listened to it, never fails to bring tears and chills at the same time. A song for lovers - and those who have loved. He was beautiful. And what a voice.
Every time I watch this I get a feeling in my chest that takes me over. This is truly the absolute best live singing performance I’ve heard. Just look at him. It’s so beautiful watching him share the awesome voice he had.
My husband and I were married 48 years and 2 months, he passed away 2 1/2 years ago and this was our song. I have the original album. We loved this song so much. When I hear i cry and cry. It was played at our wedding and on our 25th anniversary. It makes me cry to this day. Love this song.
Probably because 90% of today's music is just the same 2 lines of words repeated over & over to a synthesized beat, not even real ppl playing instruments. Your IQ drops 25 points listening to some of today's "music"
Bobby Hatfield, Tony Williams (The Platters), Elvis, Freddie Mercury and few others are the rare talents that sounded better live than most people sounded in the studio.
@@sadiemae4325 The Righteous Brothers weren't actually brothers.Bill Medley was the other "brother" Bobby Hatfield is the one who passed away in 2003.Hope that's helpful.Not intending to be nerdy!
How can anybody give this the thumbs down? Total perfection,not even Elvis can touch this.I think this is the greatest solo performance of a song of all time
Absolute skill, grace and perfection. He doesn't even break a sweat. Phenomenal from the first note to the last. My all-time favorite song and I never tire of watching this amazing performance. They don't make 'em like this anymore!
Absolutely amazing song ,by the Riteous Brothers I. Love this masterly rendition. I have in the past make mention of these Artist as their songs has written an indelible serenaded in our hearts .it's liken that these precious songs in our modern world has carved in so gloriously to compete with modern world history. I would not escape myself not listening to these Golden vintages.
The problem is that now you only need money to become a "musician" while before you needed to have a fuckton of talent (and luck) to become famous. Just think how many great musician don't get famous because people listen to disney channel kids bands. Its really sad for me.
Even though I'm an obsessive Elvis fanatic lol, I believe this is *the* single, finest vocal performance in the last 100 years. (My fellow Elvis fans think I've committed sacrilege for this opinion lol)
@@BertSmithLondon The reason Elvis’ version is so praised is because the man died a couple of months after the performance. He was literally on deaths doorstep, in his 40s and definitely past his prime. Despite all that, he still managed to sing with the same voice that made him famous in years prior. I’m not going to discount this version since I’m not much of a singer but Bobby is in his 20s here, so of course he is going to sound better.
After Bobby recorded the studio version, he said to the producer "I want to do it again. I can do it better." The producer said "No, you can't." As it turned out, he COULD do it better.
My wife and I danced to this beautiful melody at every weekly school-sponsored dance, from the time we were teenagers. Through the years, my bride and I continued to hold each other close, as we danced at her high school reunions. About three years ago, she contracted Parkinsonism Lewy Body dementia. She passed away this May, just one month short of our 49th wedding anniversary. Now, I listen to Unchained Melody, with tears in my eyes, and a broken heart.
Please tell those close to you how much you love and appreciate them. Because, no matter how many times you may say it, in the end, it won’t have been enough.
May God bless you!
This is one of favourites song and I have tears in my eyes everytime I heard this song. I dedicate this song to my husband💖👫
I love this song,I can't understand some of the words and it is still so beautiful. I'm sorry it makes you so sad now because you miss your wife. My wife and I have been together 21 years and couldn't imagine loosing her,it's painful just thinking about it.

Because it’s a walk in the park for him. A testament to the talent he had as a singer
One of the greatest singers and songs of all times. Remember this was live. Hardly any singers today have as pure and wonderful voice as Bobby Hatfield.

I don’t get why he is on zero of them…. Like I am clearly not a big fan of his. And still, he has an incredible voice and was popular. I don’t know why he’s seemingly been forgotten in a lot of places.
No one and I mean no one has come close to his performance of this song.
@@junaself3258 I agree. Great voice and handsome man. Recently Gianluca Ginoble of the Italian group Il Volo paid his tribute to this fantastic singer and I found it quite good. Listen it, if you like. Best regards from Italy.
Beautiful voice..... Beautiful song 💖💖💖
I still after 55 years of marriage cannot hear this song without taking my wife in my arms dancing.
What a beautiful thing....
Lovely 🌹
Be thankful that she is still with you!
Goals!
❤️❤️❤️👍🏽
His voice is just unreal!!!!!
sure is.
Sweetheart, that really was his own voice.
But I have to say that I don't know his name. 🤔
@@handofmud144 Bobby Hatfield
@@rustillthere.5024 Thanks! 😎👍
I am so glad that the production value was just incredibly done. This song is about a prisoner in jail who missed his love and he wrote this song while he was in jail. There is a movie about this song, and the gentleman who produced was Bill Medley, who was Bobby Hatfield’s other half of the Righteous, who is a baratone. He couldn’t sleep one night, becaus he kept thinking about this song. So he went into the studio and dubbed some of the parts and remixed other’s. It was around 4am. These men are the most incredible singers I’ve ever heard. They are matched so well vocally and the raw emotion is so high that women keep playing it, and can’t be quiet because they are overwhelmed. Recorded in 1971, and the gentleman who wrote the lyrics is virtually unknown today. In the original man who sang the song that the film was based on is from Poland. He has a totally different voice than either of the Righteous Brothers and a delivery that is also stunning. His voice has a thick accent and it is difficult to understand at times. The remixed version was a hit instantaneously, and is considered to be one of the top 10 songs every released. This arrangement was done by the Righteous Brothers. It is so well known and has a bizarre effect on almost every person who hears it. It induces a trance-like state that is rarely seen in pop music, but is common in those who sing opera and are classically trained. I can never listen yo it only once. It is so many couple’s song and it surfacing repeatedly. The effect causes people to become almost religious about the single. I don’t think anyone will ever do it better. Unfortunately, Bobby Hatfield who nails the high notes every time, is often considered to have the best octivate range
My beloved husband died 7 months ago and this beautiful songs is balm for my grieving soul
I wish your grieving soul comfort and condolences.
@@itdoesntmatter9361 thank you 💟
Amen
This should be easily considered one of the top 5 best live performances of all time.
No question.
No way could I think of another four that rival it!
Hands down
It's considered #1 live vocal performance of the 20th century...probably still to this day...
I can’t think of a better one
This song smoked a cigarette after he sang it....Seriously one of the greatest live performances I have ever seen. He hit over two dozen notes perfectly....flawlessly.
Love your critique -- 100% accurate.
Agreed, Bobby absolutely smashes it. 👌
Yes indeed, an epic performance, and live. What guts it has to take to hit that final high falsetto note. But Bobby practiced :D
And had a cup of coffee.
Amazing
How lucky are we that this was filmed... absolutely staggering performance.
The Andy Williams orchestra hit it out of the park as well on this one !
Can u imagine I have read he went and 🚬 a 🚬 after. Naturally gifted
I am a 1956 model. I got to see and hear true greatness that I am sure will never be repeated.
The Righteous Brothers, Tom Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Orbison, Gary Moore, Jim Morrison and The Doors.
I like a variety of music and even at 65 I work out listening to Aim To Head 'dark techno'.
But the blessing of modern technology like RUclips lets me go back in time and just for a little while I am long ago in a land far away...
Truly truly beautiful song. I pray he's in heaven and I pray I get to heaven to hear them again
The audience didn’t know it but they witnessed vocal perfection.
I think they were told to be quiet & enjoy. seems respectful to me.
I kind of think they did. Notice how quiet they are.
@@krisgoldsmith476 You were probably both right. Incredible stuff.
i hope so
i always wondered what it was like to live during the time of these legends, and if it was realized/appreciated of just how much of a privilege it was to see them in action
Yes I think the audience knew it was being recorded for perpetuity.
And that ladies and gents is how it’s done , a man and a microphone , wow
You are not alone. Al hibbler and Roy Hamilton both sang it in 1955
It was written for the movie "unchained" .made in 1955
e
Hear, hear!
Love this music!
@Tony Keeton yeah it's not like artist can just lip sync and do it worse than today's lip sync, and it's not like autotune can make music more "interesting" with playing with autotuning sounds, like daft punk or post malone sounding sound
And the rest was left to nature.
That voice and song never gets old- a masterpiece in 1965 to infinity and beyond
Hello
Is that you Buzz?
Best song of the Century I listen to it when I was deployed made me home sick just a beautiful song
No auto-tune
No playback
Steady as a rock
Live on stage
Calm as a spring wind
Broadcast on TV
and he f@€%ing NAILS it !
Nerves of steel
Voice of an angel
Perfect descritpion!
Is this available on Cd? DVD?
Roger Larson : I’m searching too. Preferably exactly THIS version on vinyl.
I'm glad I grew up back then, when actual talent was appreciated.
Hear hear👍👍👍
I've listened to this song since it came out in 65. It gets me every time. July 2021.
Me too. I can’t stop listening.
One of my favorites 💖
Same!!! I break out in tears each time
Story goes that Bill Medley asked Phil Spector what HE was supposed to do while Bobby sang this solo.... Spector supposedly replied. 'Don't worry 'bout it. You'll be too BUSY going to the BANK!!!!!"
Me too, loved this song since I was 12 years old
This is one of those songs you can't listen to without feeling chills all through your body.
So effortless....and the soul of this man touches all who hear him sing. Beautiful
Absolutely so Guilherme. Nuff CHILLS
Exactly! Even my pet cats hair stands up to this song!
....and want to cry...don't know why but want to cry
I am 69 and grew up on The Beatles. I ignored this song all my life and just attributed its popularity to pure hype. I finally gave it a listen to about six months ago and I must admit that I was terribly wrong. Immediately shot into my top 5 and is without a doubt one of the two greatest love songs ever recorded. When you're wrong you're wrong and boy, was I terribly wrong.
Hi David how are you
He really hits that high C. One of the best voices of all time.
it is not c, it is g!
G 5 Sharp.
Still one of the greatest singlular vocal performances in modern history.
Yep, totally agree, I've never heard anyone sing it hitting all those high notes like Bobby can, amazing vocal range
I agree
And he made nothing from it...
@@bayviewinnhomerak4404 he became very wealthy because of it, and a legend i mean cmon, other than taking care of your family what else could a man want? To be remembered as a legend.
Yes, this is. And the live performance of Whiter Shade of Pale" is also superb.
Probably the best live performance of ALL TIME!!
Of this song, yes.
Best live performance of any song in the history of popular music.
The amazing thing... is this is him crapping himself with stage fright.
@@TheTedterrific non-sense. It's the best live performance of this song of all time, that I agree on. But many singers, including male singers do have much wider octave ranges that blow this song out of the water in terms of talent.
Queen band aid was awesome too Adele someone like you also but this is timeless absolutely classno gimmicks just talent
After many years, this song still sounds so good! Bring back old memories.
There are many versions of this song. But Bobby Hatfield owned it. He nailed it. The melody, the voice, the timing, there is magic in it. Everything about Bobby's rendition is unbelievable.
The McCoy's would say they did it better lol 😆
That’s bad even by dad joke standards. lol
Elvis is incredible as well considering how sick he is when performing this song 6 weaks b4 his death
You could say this Melody was.... unchained.......
I'll see myself out 🙈💀
Bobby Hatfield knew millions of people were watching him that night. He sang this flawlessly on live tv. No safety net or filters.
Apparently his parents were in the audience, making him even more nervous. But that smile at the end says, "Nailed it!" Or whatever expression they used in 1965!
he was proud to present it tho
I actually think he sang this song better as his voice aged - especially when I saw him & Bill medley in Pittsburgh, Pa maybe in the 90's.
Bobby Hatfield absolutely positively Owns this song. What a talent.
Thanks
IMHO no one sings it better, Elvis is a second close
@@lgarcia67 What about the Platters? I prefer the platters version. Tell me what you think :)
BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brings out the best memories… and takes away the pain of loss, and disappointment.
I remember the first time hearing this song. It was 1965 i was on my way to pick up my girlfriend, this song came on the radio. I pulled into someone driveway just to sit and listen to this masterpiece, i was totally blown away and still am. To this a this is my number one favorite song. I was lucky enough to see them in concert in 1966 , great show.
Wow you were lucky! The time when music had a soul. meaning. When people sang about love, not meaningless $ex. And what a great song, one of my all time favourites, bring tears to my eyes ever time I listen to it
My Dad (while in the Army)this was his favorite song to my Mom..and on July 3rd will be celebrating their 65 year anniversary! Will surprise them and play it!
Happy birthday to your father ♥️
Congratulations to your father. I like this song because my dad listend. César from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I’ve always envied ppl who grew up with both their mom and dad, and then to have them still together as you become an adult must be wonderful. You are so blessed.
AT 71 years old, this song brings me to tears of a love once lost.
A few years younger than you, but dabbing tears too. I saw them live in Vancouver, BC (The Cave, nightclub) I think. It was magical.
Godbless u

Ah, sweet memories, lost love, after all these years, he's married, I am married, still not to each other. Always brings a tear to these old eyes.

@@harleysaga5556 May the best of God's blessings rest upon you and your family. Thanks for your post.
I am a 57 yr. old female. Today marks 2 yrs. ago, that I lost my precious Dad. I remember as a little girl, my Dad sitting on the edge of his bed in the back room, playing his guitar and singing this song over and over for hours. He sang it to perfection and if people could post pictures on here and if I knew how, my Daddy when he was young, looked very much like Bobby Hatfield...so good looking. On this day, 2nd anniversary of losing my Dad, I listen to this song alone over and over for hours. You can't just walk away. I play it in honor of my Dad. I still have my Donny Osmond albums and he sings this song, but, no one can sing it like this guy and like my Daddy did. I LOVE YOU, DAD and I miss you terribly. I close my eyes and listen to this and am taken back to you in your room. Bobby Hatfield...you always will be a legend. I love all your songs, but, this the most...hauntingly beautiful and amazing beyond words.
That's a very touching story Shannon. I am so sorry for your loss
Hello Shannon how are you doing today and how is the weather over there ?
Music means so much. Especially songs like these
Sorry for your loss, I'm 57 and just lost my mother and this brings back so many memories
Very touching, sorry for your loss hope you have a great day. 😊
Beautiful... he doesn’t even have to try on the high notes.... a rare and exceptional talent....
There are a lot of great and talended singers out there, even today. Many that I admire. But I have never seen anyone who can just open their mouth, so effortlessly, and out comes perfection. How is that even possible?
Amen‼️
AnneSvensen I don’t believe I have ever saw a comment about a singer so Beautiful as this one by you and directed at Bobby Hatfield who is the singer of this Beautiful song, your comment would have been Heartfelt by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers for sure..!!!
Trust me on this one. There's a guy that can do this maybe even better (he reaches higher notes) but he sings in Spanish. Either way his voice is powerful and natural. So yes there's talent around.
There is only one!!! RIP Bobby
@GARYPUSSY They were great. They didn't have a 20 note range maybe 12 notes
Bobby’s air control during this performance is just absolutely ridiculously good. He was voice healthy and well prepared. Probably the best live performance I’ve ever seen. What a time to be alive. Damn
I was there too!!

I'm a jazz/60s crooner/blue eyed soul vocalist. This is the holy grail. The most difficult song to sing of all time. Not just the vocals which Bobby's here could not be more perfect but, you must have the confidence and 100% in the moment. Make the audience understand the pain of the song and beautiful. Incredible.
THIS!
❤️❤️❤️
❣️👌🏻
U a crooner man? Could I please listen to you?
I’m a Louie Austen big fan.
This IS the most beautiful love song ever…no one will ever take it from Bobby Hatfield…No one…
The most beautiful song I ever heard and it never gets old
One of the Most BEAUTIFUL songs ever!
I knew Bobby since I first got to meet Bill and Bobby is San Jose, CA in 1963.
He was a great guy and after seeing him and Bil about 50-60 times, you really get to know them. This song was written by Alex North (music) and Hy Zaret (lyrics). This is from "The Andy Williams Show" 10-25-1965. It was a greatest live version I ever heard Bob sing.
Agree, its really good, take note I'm 14 years old
I cannot think of any better! And this original is the best, even Elvis and all the great crooners have done it!
Dear Miguel .... great time back in the 50's-80's music. Bobby Hatfield]
on this live version is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When great
music was the norm.
+Roger C this was great, and I find some others that were also good during that time, but I don't know all.
P.S. Thanks some one replied (; and I get to listen again. (Notifications)
Best live performance in the history of live performances
Really
@@pescadordealmas77 yep
I have heard nothing that can compare to this man singing. Definitely the best solo performance to this day !
Yup, that's correct.
Within the vastness of American rock n' roll from the end of WWII to present, Yes, I agree.
This dude is a live sound person’s dream. He knows how to move the mic closer or farther away from his absolutely freaking fantastic voice and the person working the board doesn’t have to ride the fader. A true professional.
That was how the better singers did it back then. The stronger ones would extend the mike all the way out and project. A lost art...
Just imagine what he could do with today's technology !
Bobby Hatfield has a wonderful voice. Bless you for generations of this expression of love.
This is one of the best male vocal performances ever...Of all time in any era or style of music....Its simply a masterpiece...
Saul Tarsus U SAID IT SAUL BOBBY WAS TOTALLY UNDERRATED- HE COMPLETELY NAILED IT
Nailed it...
Just love this song still today, and Good music never dies...
You're right man

Pretty ❤😊
Sorry but elvis was better
@ritchierich81 sorry but no, I've heard the Elvis version and he can't hit the high notes like Bobby Hatfield could..
@julieannejoolz fair point but the backstory of elvis’s last performance is why he sang that song specifically
I actually enjoy their version better than elvis.
If you're still listening to this, you're a legend and I love you ! ... from Fort Worth, Texas
😢😢😢 55 and alive because of a miracle, almost died several times..❤❤❤ Jeh God saved me from all the terrible times.
He doesn't even furrow his brow when he swings into the higher notes. How is that possible? His voice clears away everything but the absolute truth of the song--love, longing, loneliness. A masterpiece.
Well said.
Because its all head voice, no diaphram, not terribly difficult with practice. Regardless, still wonderfully written and performed
Bobby Hatfield's range was phenomenal, a full 4 octaves. He doesn't strain on the high notes because he doesn't need to.
@@KiLLJOY1056 Not difficult? Can you do it? Where’s your video?
@@KiLLJOY1056 please demonstrate
Yep, still listening in April 2016. I grew up with this song. I always thought it was the best. It's just so iconic of that era.

No auto tune...no studio help...pure talent!!
Absolutely pure talent!
👍🤘
Well said, so true, & I whole heartedly agree!
Betty, if you think no audio engineers had a hand in this, you know absolutely nothing about music, how it's recorded or how it's produced.
@@a.jherbert5436 I'm not Betty, this was a vintage classic LIVE 1965 performance not studio there would have been very little editing post {after} performance if any at all. Amplifiers were primarily used in 1965. Betty was correct in stating that there was no 'auto tune' because indeed it did not exist at all back then.
And that kids today ... that's how it's done.
No matter how many hundreds of times I've listened to it, never fails to bring tears and chills at the same time.
A song for lovers - and those who have loved.
He was beautiful. And what a voice.
Yes, he was beautiful, i hope he comes back next time as a singer, again...
AMEN
i was born in the wrong era 😔
I get goosebumps whenever I listen to him.
Im a kid... my generations music is different sadly but I will make people remeber this kind of music 😼
Every time I watch this I get a feeling in my chest that takes me over. This is truly the absolute best live singing performance I’ve heard. Just look at him. It’s so beautiful watching him share the awesome voice he had.
Love the song and i love you two sweetie spread more love in this world
A moment of perfection!
Indeed

No one comes close to singing this song the way he does. He owns it, pure and simple.
Can't believe how relevant this song is till date. This sure is a music for the soul.
Probably because 90% of today's music is just the same 2 lines of words repeated over & over to a synthesized beat, not even real ppl playing instruments. Your IQ drops 25 points listening to some of today's "music"

Spot on Les. A breathtaking performance.
i absolutely agree a voice in a million
Exactly what i was thinking
Yep I'm a huge Elvis fan and in most cases I reckon his covers are better than anyone but this performance stands alone, just stunning.
Absolute skill, grace and perfection. He doesn't even break a sweat. Phenomenal from the first note to the last. My all-time favorite song and I never tire of watching this amazing performance. They don't make 'em like this anymore!
Agree totally,my all time favorite love song goosebumps all the way everytime
Absolutely amazing song ,by the Riteous Brothers I. Love this masterly rendition. I have in the past make mention of these Artist as their songs has written an indelible serenaded in our hearts .it's liken that these precious songs in our modern world has carved in so gloriously to compete with modern world history. I would not escape myself not listening to these Golden vintages.
Can't sing like that no more such melody in the voice. Bless.
That beautiful sound that just melts in your ear!
The problem is that now you only need money to become a "musician" while before you needed to have a fuckton of talent (and luck) to become famous. Just think how many great musician don't get famous because people listen to disney channel kids bands. Its really sad for me.
Its truly awe-inspiring that this song is coming up on 60 years old and is still so relevant
I am 77 an with you there
Didnt it come out in 1955 making it 66 years old?
I was 22 that night. 56 years ago. I fell in love with that voice. Then the man. I still am. No other as great as Bobby. Never will be.
The song is timeless..
And he makes every note, even the later high notes, pitch perfect with an ease that is captivating.
This reminds me of a guy who phoned a man from 1970... This is such a beautiful song
STOP IM GONNA CRY
Same... Same
NO BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED READING THAT-

NOOO
Even though I'm an obsessive Elvis fanatic lol, I believe this is *the* single, finest vocal performance in the last 100 years. (My fellow Elvis fans think I've committed sacrilege for this opinion lol)
@@BertSmithLondon The reason Elvis’ version is so praised is because the man died a couple of months after the performance. He was literally on deaths doorstep, in his 40s and definitely past his prime. Despite all that, he still managed to sing with the same voice that made him famous in years prior. I’m not going to discount this version since I’m not much of a singer but Bobby is in his 20s here, so of course he is going to sound better.
After Bobby recorded the studio version, he said to the producer "I want to do it again. I can do it better." The producer said "No, you can't." As it turned out, he COULD do it better.
I agree with you 100%!!!!
I totally agree!
agree BUT we don't KNOW what they're singing out in the deepest darkest jungle
the most romantic, most humble, most heartfelt, and most magical live performance on tv.
Hello Elizabeth, How are you doing?
Only one word WONDERFUL
When people say perfection isn’t real, remind them that this 1965 Bobby Hatfield solo performance of Unchained Melody exists.
Hello
The absolute best. I've listened to every single artist who ever sang this ( including Elvis!) & The Righteous Brothers are unmatched ❤️😘❤️
Just Bobby
Go listen to Smith and Meyers, I know it’s not as classic, but they did so darn good! Lmk what you think?!
Idem.
After all these years, people have tried but no one comes close to doing this sweet song justice like this man. On Point!
Clay Aiken is the only one that came close that why I think he should’ve won America idol that year . This is a lovely song and his voice is amazing
I only know this song because of Gareth Gates. I think he did it pretty well, but obviously the original is still always the best
Elvis: "Am i joke to you?"
mart hookgamer did an incredible cover on the beach almost as good a close number 2
Jack Greene does an amazing job with it.
That smile on his face at the end! I wonder if he realized how we'd still be admiring his performance 60 years later.
There's good and then there's this, STUNNING, my God, this was live, no re-takes, no overdubs, no double-tracks, and certainly no auto-tune.
@@gloriadegaston8423 Autotune - the worst thing to hit the industry. Man, if you can't sing your notes then you're no artist.
