Notice that this song is not sung very often by other artist.... they know that the original can NEVER be topped.....Elvis tried and with all due respect was left in the dust..Bobby owns this song for eternity !
@@isrberlinerin4063 what’s meant to be is meant to be. They could rip up every copy of this song and it would still make it back round the world BY WORD OF MOUTH and become a hit AGAIN. LOL I TRULY BELIEVE THIS
And a great song it is, music written by American film composer, the late Alex North. The lyricist was Hy Zaret. They worked together on the 1965 film, Ghost.
Correction: Unchained Melody was composed (by North & Zaret) for a film called Unchained, released in 1955. It was later used as the theme song for the 1965 film, Ghost.
No doubt, Elvis could've been at 110% and he couldn't have come close to Bobby. The most impressive thing, in my opinion, was how easy he made this look. He has a 4 or 5 octive range and without any of the crap singers use today, it was just him, the mic and his talent... Fantastic song, and a gifted singer.
This is Bobby Hatfield's song. He wasn't the first to sing it and most definitely not the last to sing it but his is the best. It is also what all the others are measured against. Bobby Hatfield can't be beat. I love this song and have since I first heard it. It is just so dynamic.
I am a 75 year old white lady and I loved the Righteous Brothers. Half the fun of watching this video was watching your face and loving how you enjoyed their music ! I never heard it called blue eyed soul before but it fits. Their hearts were in their music
This was mine and my husband song when we started to go steady in 1966......and when he was on his way to Viet Nam........and remained our song till he passed in 2018.......it still gives me chill bumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Maax1200 you are correct. Thank you. I googled. I always read the over dose was intentional, but apparently it caused a heart attack, and that is how he died.
They had autotune back than. It just wasnt called autotune it was called back up singers. Whenever they couldnt hit a note they had a couple people in the shadows singing with them who could.
Al the great entertainers make it look easy. Bobby Hatfield took that to a higher level. The song just flows, akin to syrup from a bottle, sweet and smooth.
Fran Hart Unfortunately Bobby Hatfield passed away taking his fantastic talent with him but the recordings we have are peerless -- especially this one.
Bobby Hatfield hits those high notes with no effort at all. It comes as natural to him as breathig. I've noticed other artist scrunch up their faces to get that high LOL not Bobby ever. RIP dear man you will always be remembered and greatly missed.
Freddie Mercury was an absolutely amazing natural talent as well. No auto tune needed and he had an amazing and effortless range. RIP Bobby and Freddie ❤️❤️
Bobbi was real nervous since this was live and this mother was in the audience. At the end, he bites his lip, smiles and nods to his mom, as he knew he knocked it out of the park.
Bobby Hatfield made this song his own. The range of his voice, control of his breathing, his countertenor notes and handsomeness was like he was making love to everybody in the studio. Rest in peace Bobby, this is your song, will always be your song and everything else you sang was great.
Even after all these decades, this song, this performance is just one of those things in life that is just plain UNTOUCHABLE by anyone else other than the original singer.
Elvis was half dead, when he covered that song. Young Elvis almost had the range of both Righteous Brothers. ruclips.net/video/bGYjWfp3aQI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MiY5auB3OWg/видео.html
My husband and I have been married over 52 years. This became our song while he was serving our country in Vietnam. We still get up and slow dance every time we hear this wonderful song sung by one of the best singers of the time. Ty love seeing your response to these old songs so dear to many of our hearts.
Not many artists then or today have the range to sing this song The Way Bobby did. He wins by default just because of the quality of the sound and range.
I love the fact that there are some younger folks who are willing to keep an open mind and listen to the older music. I truly enjoy watching their reactions.
I was just thinking the same thing, that any time he feels some kind of emotional reaction to something in the music he scratches his head. It's endearing
As humans we are all bound to die. The very best way a human can die is in the knowledge that they are loved fully and totally. You gave this gift to your partner.
My husband passed away shortly after his 50th birthday. This was our song. He felt I was his soul mate and we had known each other in previous lives and were destined to stay together eternally in this life or the next. He wrote me a poem to that effect and gave it to me for Christmas 11 years after we were married. Ghost was his favorite romantic movie. I love this song above all others, too!
The best part of this is how effortless this level of performance just flowed out of his mouth- you feel like he could belt out this thirty times in a row just as flawlessly. Still gives me the chills. Love the righteous bros!
There will never be anyone that can sing this song better than Bobby Hatfield not ever. RIP Bobby. I was fifteen when this came out. Should be the number one song of all time.
Righteous Brothers/Bobby Hatfield hands down. I'm an Elvis fan from way back, but more power doesn't equal to better. A scalpel can do a lot more than a shotgun, and this is one of those times. Mr. Hatfield OWNED this song from that moment till eternity. No one will ever be able to do it better! Thank you so much for your review, and all that you do!
@@jayedwards5466 i disagree, he kept it soft during this performance true, but the record version does go harder. Bobby hatfield is unrivaled when it comes to this song.
That’s the emotive power of the legendary BOBBY HATFIELD (RIP 1940 - 2003) - arguably the greatest tenor singer EVER - his pronouncing and clarity is perfect. This was his 1965 masterpiece 👌
I'm an old man and I've listened to this song hundreds of times. Whenever I start to feel down and depressed, this performance can restore my faith that God created man and gave us music as a wonderful gift.
Walt D you must be a singer. Maybe really good, accurate, excellent tone....then you here a freak with perfect pitch on a 20 note range.....Yeah, me too. I've listened to this 20 times in a week, still kicks my ass and sends me home to work on it.......
This will always be a historic classic. It has never been song by anyone as good as this. It is an immortal song. Good through all generations on perfection of a song.
Every time I hear Bobby Hatfield sing this song, it's like it's the first time I heard it. It reaches inside me and touches something. Love this song. There are covers of this song and some good covers by some great artist but Bobby Hatfield owns this song.
This is the most requested song of all time. He makes it look so easy..No problem hitting the highest notes. I have heard at their concerts he sang to all the women and there was never a dry eye in the place. What a great song... Enjoy
That is what I thought. Who can do this live? Not too many. Phenomenal. I loved these guys when I was 12 and older (1964...) because my older brother was really into them.
I took my grandmother to see The Righteous Brothers in concert and the show was amazing. Then like a week later Bobby Hatfield died. I was very sad, but also happy that I was able to see them live before he passed.
Kokainvergiftung führte ja zu Bobbys Herzinfarkt. Der Gerichtsmediziner sagte, dass dies sein Herz abgeschnürt hat, da muss man staunen, dass er eine Woche vorher noch eine Show abliefern konnte. 😮 Was hatte er nur für Probleme, dass er sich mit den Jahren und zuletzt mit noch mehr Kokain, vergiftete. Selbst Bill wusste all die Jahre nichts davon.😢
I was there in the 1960s. I wish you could have been there in that time to here live music coming from all these great singers. Like the Righteous brothers, Diana Ross, all the singers under phill Spector and so many more. And they all did it live because prerecorded shows just did not exist then. You had to be really good to catch a mistake of any kind.
Elvis had the stage presence to pretty much nail cover songs, but Bobby Hatfield owned this. Even without associating the song with the movie Ghost, Hatfield’s interpretation is a smooth sonic attack that yanks the heartstrings. Damn near impossible to do with autotune today
Gutslinger “Entirely agreed. I am the one born in 1988 who always listen to this clip for more than 4 years. To me he isn’t just a crooner which drawed attention of innocent public in his era. A timeless god of blue-eyed soul he would be only by this sole song. The number of watchers after just a week is more than several ten thousands and it demonstrates the general feeling this version brings to us. One more song I cherished is The White Cliffs of Dover which originally was sung by female singer Vera Lynn. To watchers here I wanna recommend and share the sensation I got the moment I got to know that song too.” - From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.
@@IcePrincess751-kb9bq Elvis was near death. So it's not a fair comparison. Now imagine if elvis had cut this in 1965? When elvis was in complete command of his falsetto and the complete power of his vocal register.
When they first came out they sang with such pure heart and soul some people said they were black ! But, This is Bobbie Hatfield of the two and he his white with blue eyes. Bill Medley in a duet sings the deeper sounds. What I have to say is no matter what color you are, your skin, your eyes and hair; if you have "it" ! You have "it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They both had beautiful voices and I was a teenager in the 60s when I first heard them on AM radio - they blew me away with the melodies and beautiful voices and still do today !!
Tan was from the home state of California (think surfers). He was the class president at Anaheim High School...my sister was his class mate. He was an extremely nice guy.
His name was Bobby Hatfield, he has passed, and he could sing rings around Elvis Presley. The other half of the Righteous Brothers was Bill Medley. They were amazing together..
No..he should be in a time capsule but Elvis had a magical voice and presence..still haven't observed anyone sing rings around the king but hats off to Hatfield..wish he hadn't ruined his gift with tobacco because he was a genius..
The entertainment world don’t judge as we do, those with pure talent never showed jealousy, they embraced one another! All praised Bobby Hatfield on this one!!
Not sure if this is true but , I heard that the way the righteous brothers got their name was , while they were singing a song , someone in the audience jumped up and said , wow , that’s righteous Brothers ,& that’s how they got that name . Even if it’s not true ( i’m not sure ) but it’s a good story anyway ,& could be true .
I remember watching this on TV. This was from an Andy Williams special. There's a fuller version where Andy talks to Bill and Bobby. They were joking around and Bobby takes the mic and starts singing this song. Pure magic.
Ya'll did not tell me Ken from Barbie could sing 😂😂😂 The one who sang this was Bobby Hartfield. And NO ONE could ever come close the perfection of his rendition. Most people think the Righteous Brothers were actually brothers but they weren't but they sure made quite the duo ❤️
Thank You for being you , appreciate you enthusiasm, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were the singers behind The Righteous Brothers, you just saw Bobby Hatfield , Big Hugs from the UK
I Agree with Ty. Nobody could touch Bobby Hatfield on this song. I am probably Elvis Presley’s biggest fan but once in a while he hit a ground ball. I am a Patreon and wish Ty the “renaissance man” all the best. America cannot fail as long as we have men like Ty. Be a Patreon on PayPal really easy. We need to support him.
Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers singing here had one of the greatest falsetto voices in Rock & Roll history. It was too bad he died too soon. As much as I love Elvis...Bobby Hatfield owns this song, and has a falsetto voice that is to die for. Peace!
The emotion Bobby pulls from my soul each time i hear him belt out this classic, has never ceased the tears from slowly traveling down my cheeks... Godspeed Bobby & Thank you
You're right, brother. No one could perform this song like Bobby. No one! God gifted that man with a set of vocals, thank God he didn't keep it to himself!! Enjoy your commentaries - you have a great presence. Peace.

Bobby Hatfield's voice caresses each note, gives me chills each time I hear it. R.I.P.
No auto-tune, no singing about booties and sex.
Just a pure love song. I miss this music.
He didn't need to sing about that... he got plenty after THAT performance, believe me.
@@tristanflynn4014
😅 glaube ich auch,
tristan.
@tristanflynn4014 He might have but he didn't have to sing about it to get it 😂😂😂
Nobody can touch Bobby Hatfield on this song. Nobody he is untouchable I still love this after 60 years
Agree
Bobby Hatfield had an incredible voice and this song is his eternal signature and no other artist will ever come close !
You may have something there!
Notice that this song is not sung very often by other artist.... they know that the original can NEVER be topped.....Elvis tried and with all due respect was left in the dust..Bobby owns this song for eternity !
ABSOLUTE FACT. AND THE ONLY REASON THE OTHER BROTHER DIDNT SING IT BECAUSE HE DIDNT THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE A HIT!!! HAHAHAHAHAH BAD CALL BRUH

One man, a microphone and an audience. One take. No distractions. Beautiful.
Yes
No autotune. No processing. No Do-over. Live. Live Band. Live singers. This is talent.
You just heard an angel sing. God gave Bobby his voice. Tears, chills, feel it in my soul everytime I hear it. 🥰✝️🙏
I am from Memphis and a HUGE Elvis fan. The king did a great job on this song but Bobby got this one! Amazing talent!!
Elvis is amazing but he wasn't better at everything than everyone. Bobby owns this till the end of time. There's still many many things The King owns.
I could judge if Elvis did it in the studio. He played it in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'll have to go with this version.
You are 100% correct. This blue eyed soul brother had one of the most amazing voices ever! 🙋🏻♀️❤️👍🏻

No, you are absolutely right, although I really like Elvis' voice, there is nobody that comes close to the Righteous Brother's version.
@@mariefrancemanibal2954 very true
One of those extremely rare occasions when a performance is absolutely flawless. It couldn't have been any more perfect.
Didn't play... didn't "improvise"... didn't gyrate... just sang the hell out of it.
With all his clothes on
@@raymondweaver8526 😂😂😂thank you😂😂😂
Yep. This cat definitely took Elvis' trophy for this particular song. Nobody ever topped this performance of it. Not in my opinion.
Elvis never had the trophy this has always been Bobby's song.
No one sings it better ever than this.... His voice is absolutely amazing....
BOBBY HATFIELD IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's kinda like a mello Eric Burdan
Was..... He committed suicide many years ago😢
@@Jo.885 I think he died from an overdoze.
@@Maax1200 you are correct. Thank you. I googled. I always read the over dose was intentional, but apparently it caused a heart attack, and that is how he died.
This is pure magic. This is about as close to perfect as I can possibly imagine. I love Elvis but he couldn’t compare to Bobby Hatfield on this song.
It's cos he was so close to death tbf
@@s20acc94 Elvis performed it many times, but Bobby is truly the best.
No auto tune here. Just pure talent.👍👌😉
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!!
They had autotune back than. It just wasnt called autotune it was called back up singers. Whenever they couldnt hit a note they had a couple people in the shadows singing with them who could.
Very true. I am not old but music now is awful
Elvis has no auto tune ! Auto tune didn’t come out until the 2000’s ! I know my bands from the 90’s had no auto tune!
They stole it from the Platters..............
Thank you for NOT interrupting or pausing the video. We can tell by your expression how you feel.😊
You’re welcome 😊
The crazy part is that he's not even trying. It looks like he's just singing over breakfast or something 😂
Crowned Huntress
Like Fred Astaire wasn’t trying. When you’ve trained and rehearsed and practiced it, you don’t try, you do!
Haha exactly!
Al the great entertainers make it look easy. Bobby Hatfield took that to a higher level. The song just flows, akin to syrup from a bottle, sweet and smooth.
His parents were actually in the audience in he wanted to make them proud! It was also live I believe
Exactly, that's why it's so good because he makes it look and sound so effortlessly
This version live by Bobby Hatfield will never be beat. NEVER.
Total agreement xx
ruclips.net/video/I56vPUY63X4/видео.html
Dean Edward nah chief this will always be the best
I've never heard a voice that beautiful and it was live. It was better then the studio version.
as humans we have freedom of choice, but one thing that we never will agree on is LIVING AS ON3E
Bobby Hatfield, one half of the Righteous Brothers. The days of "blue eyed" soul. The BEST version ever.
No doubt
Back in the day going to the hood to buy some pot this black boy called my brother a blue eyed devil lol
In another thousand years no one will ever top this version, even the original studio recording wasn't close. It will still bring people to tears.

Absolutely Right
Fran Hart Unfortunately Bobby Hatfield passed away taking his fantastic talent with him but the recordings we have are peerless -- especially this one.
Amen to that.
Bobby Hatfield hits those high notes with no effort at all. It comes as natural to him as breathig. I've noticed other artist scrunch up their faces to get that high LOL not Bobby ever. RIP dear man you will always be remembered and greatly missed.
Freddie Mercury was an absolutely amazing natural talent as well. No auto tune needed and he had an amazing and effortless range. RIP Bobby and Freddie ❤️❤️
I'm a HUGE Elvis fan, but this is Bobby's song.
Only Bobby, and I do mean Only Bobby can sing this song. It is definitely right up there as one of the most romantic and heartmelting songs out there.
Elvis is good with burning in love, but yes this is Bobby Hatfield song genuinely
Yessss i so agree!!
I think so too.
Elvis had sex with a child, 14 yr old. Sicko
Bobbi was real nervous since this was live and this mother was in the audience. At the end, he bites his lip, smiles and nods to his mom, as he knew he knocked it out of the park.
Thats adorable 🤗

I'm an Elvis fan but this guy is unbelievable! Maybe they're singing together. Nice thought 😇
@@cheriehawthorne9246 love ur opinion but Elvis once said he one of tht person he did`t tag along on same stage...tht scary
Lloyd Purvis yes indeed!!!!
He did sing it but honest I am not going to lie it was bad,i am guessing it was around the time of his death.
Bobby Hatfield made this song his own. The range of his voice, control of his breathing, his countertenor notes and handsomeness was like he was making love to everybody in the studio. Rest in peace Bobby, this is your song, will always be your song and everything else you sang was great.
My eyes just roll into the back of my head when I hear Bobby Hatfield's rendition of this song. No one compares.
At least you don't stop the video every ten seconds. Thank you.
Bobby Hatfield , the singer here, totally owns this song. Always has, always will. 👍👍❤️❤️💕💕
I agrea always
Even after all these decades, this song, this performance is just one of those things in life that is just plain UNTOUCHABLE by anyone else other than the original singer.
No one did it better than this. Elvis was good, but could never touch this.
Exactly
agreed! I love watching the reactions..lol
Elvis was half dead, when he covered that song. Young Elvis almost had the range of both Righteous Brothers.

LOL. Very funny
Wow, GREAT REACTION, REALLY. !!!!
Well said!
Aint that the truth
My husband and I have been married over 52 years. This became our song while he was serving our country in Vietnam. We still get up and slow dance every time we hear this wonderful song sung by one of the best singers of the time. Ty love seeing your response to these old songs so dear to many of our hearts.
That's beautiful!! That forever love!
This was 63 years ago, live and no auto tune.
And he had a cold.
People say he wasn’t singing falsetto, just that he had a crazy range ❤️😀
He was a countertenor. 🎶✨
I loved your reaction to this. Nobody does it like the Righteous Brothers.
How bizarre that the whitest dude ever (Ken) had so much soul. It's no insult to Elvis that Bobby did it better.
Not many artists then or today have the range to sing this song The Way Bobby did. He wins by default just because of the quality of the sound and range.
I love the fact that there are some younger folks who are willing to keep an open mind and listen to the older music. I truly enjoy watching their reactions.
No one can touch the Righteous Brothers on this song. They own it with their version and even better than the original.
Much better than the studio version.
The fact that it's live and they had the confidence to do it live on TV blows me away
Totally agree!!!
i love both versions. they're different.
We can ALWAYS tell when you love something. You always scratch your head and smile
Did you know that Bill Medley of the Righteous bros was the guy who sang the Male part of I've had the time of my life from dirty dancing
I was just thinking the same thing, that any time he feels some kind of emotional reaction to something in the music he scratches his head. It's endearing
Maybe he has a reaction similar to myself. When something gets me going it makes my scalp tingle.
@@atomicsquid9836 My music teacher in middle school would walk around saying no goosebumps yet. That's when she new we were ready for our performance

I was about to turn 17, senior year in HS (graduated '64). This is an epic song.
I believe it is the most played song of all time, deservedly so.
I watch your reaction to Bobby Hatfield and I can see how much you enjoy the song. I grew up living all those artists, I'm 76
I grew up listening to all types of music, and remember hearing this, and loving it. Ghost, brought it back full force.
They can SING🗣🎙 in those days... no Computer HELP at all... like now, 2019.

I fell in love with many guys slow dancing to this song in 1967 and on.
Me too circa 1952 thanks mum dad see you in heaven hope they got these tunes x
Bobby Hatfield was my cousin,his mom was in the audience that night,his voice is out of this world..RIP COUSIN.YOU ARE MISSED
Dein Cousin.....
WOW😮
This voice makes chills goes up and down up and down my spine, the most amazing version ever! He DID kill it.
I got the chills too. Wow.
My chill bumps peaked every time he hit a long, high note -he was and will remain at head of the class on this song.
Brother's got SOUL. Hittin' NOTES most won't DARE live.
That is what I thought. Who can do this live? Not too many. Phenomenal. I loved these guys when I was 12 and older (1964...) because my older brother was really into them.
Indeed! We are so very lucky to listen to Bobby Hatfield singing this beautiful song with his magnificently beautiful voice!
Didn't consider this is live. What ability to even consider doing it live, especially the end

Yes, it was on the Andy Williams show!
I took my grandmother to see The Righteous Brothers in concert and the show was amazing. Then like a week later Bobby Hatfield died. I was very sad, but also happy that I was able to see them live before he passed.
Kokainvergiftung führte ja zu Bobbys
Herzinfarkt. Der Gerichtsmediziner sagte, dass dies sein Herz abgeschnürt hat, da muss man staunen, dass er eine Woche vorher noch eine Show abliefern konnte.
😮
Was hatte er nur für Probleme, dass er sich mit den Jahren und zuletzt
mit noch mehr Kokain, vergiftete.
Selbst Bill wusste all die Jahre nichts davon.😢
I was there in the 1960s. I wish you could have been there in that time to here live music coming from all these great singers. Like the Righteous brothers, Diana Ross, all the singers under phill Spector and so many more. And they all did it live because prerecorded shows just did not exist then. You had to be really good to catch a mistake of any kind.
All due respect to the king. No sir! The brothers nailed it.
Yea, I know it's a solo, I watched this when it originally aired. And even when it's only one performing he's still a righteous brother.
Elvis had the stage presence to pretty much nail cover songs, but Bobby Hatfield owned this. Even without associating the song with the movie Ghost, Hatfield’s interpretation is a smooth sonic attack that yanks the heartstrings. Damn near impossible to do with autotune today
Bobby's got that little "sh*t-eatin" grin on his face when he finished, knowing he nailed it! ...absolute perfection
Bites his bottom lip. Loved it!
His momma was front row...

lori,
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Gott, liebe es auch so.😊😊😊
Nah, you're right. The Righteous Brothers own this song in my opinion.
Thank you!Elvis was good,but Bobby killed this,...no question.The man had an incredibly smooth voice.

“Entirely agreed. I am the one born in 1988 who always listen to this clip for more than 4 years. To me he isn’t just a crooner which drawed attention of innocent public in his era.
A timeless god of blue-eyed soul he would be only by this sole song.
The number of watchers after just a week is more than several ten thousands and it demonstrates the general feeling this version brings to us.
One more song I cherished is The White Cliffs of Dover which originally was sung by female singer Vera Lynn. To watchers here I wanna recommend and share the sensation I got the moment I got to know that song too.”
- From a shitless slave region of humanism being suffered under hoon-tribe-originated-parasitism and kiki'she' collectivism which is known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Cudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

Elvis was near death. So it's not a fair comparison.
Now imagine if elvis had cut this in 1965? When elvis was in complete command of his falsetto and the complete power of his vocal register.
Brad rawsner behave, bobby owns this song , elvis was eating fat burgers and marring little girls....
Only song Elvis done that someone was better. This has nothing to do with Bill Medley this is 100% Bobby Hattfield.
This is and was always Bobby's song he killed it yes and what a talent to do it with wish I was back there great music my grandparents were cool lol
I’m a HUGE ELVIS fan also! However I have to agree that this Righteous brother sang this song BETTER!!! Sorry Elvis
You're a fair person. And going by your username, you got great taste in music.
Don't think Elvis cares at this point.
When they first came out they sang with such pure heart and soul some people said they were black ! But, This is Bobbie Hatfield of the two and he his white with blue eyes. Bill Medley in a duet sings the deeper sounds. What I have to say is no matter what color you are, your skin, your eyes and hair; if you have "it" ! You have "it" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They both had beautiful voices and I was a teenager in the 60s when I first heard them on AM radio - they blew me away with the melodies and beautiful voices and still do today !!
Tan was from the home state of California (think surfers). He was the class president at Anaheim High School...my sister was his class mate. He was an extremely nice guy.
You're right. Bobby nailed it. That high note and the ending notes were amazing. Sends shivers down your spine.
Ive been watching your reactions all day you seem like a nice guy. You are a great role model for young men.
Thank you for that!
I only discovered the Modern Renassaiance Man today and I've watched through several videos now. I agree, very warm and friendly guy. Good channel.
Jeff Flaig Yes Ty is a great role model & he seems so genuine too. I think he would be a fun guy to drink a beer with and listen to music with
His name was Bobby Hatfield, he has passed, and he could sing rings around Elvis Presley. The other half of the Righteous Brothers was Bill Medley. They were amazing together..
Went to Medleys show in Branson. It was great
No..he should be in a time capsule but Elvis had a magical voice and presence..still haven't observed anyone sing rings around the king but hats off to Hatfield..wish he hadn't ruined his gift with tobacco because he was a genius..
The entertainment world don’t judge as we do, those with pure talent never showed jealousy, they embraced one another! All praised Bobby Hatfield on this one!!
They both did a great job,singing this song .How can you even compare .both are very good
I am a huge Elvis Presley fan! But nobody did this song better than the RB! Awesome vocals!
Marty Robbins did a great version, also...
Thank you for posting this. I love this song when Bobby Hatfield sang it. There will never be another.
Blue-eyed soul. That's what the Righteous Brothers are known for.
Not sure if this is true but , I heard that the way the righteous brothers got their name was , while they were singing a song , someone in the audience jumped up and said , wow , that’s righteous Brothers ,& that’s how they got that name . Even if it’s not true ( i’m not sure ) but it’s a good story anyway ,& could be true .
@@lenanoro5427 I heard that too!
@@lenanoro5427 Not sure if that's true?
No , but it does sound plausible .
I remember watching this on TV. This was from an Andy Williams special. There's a fuller version where Andy talks to Bill and Bobby. They were joking around and Bobby takes the mic and starts singing this song. Pure magic.
ur right dude.this was bobbys song. and he KILLED it.i was a kid when I heard this. this is the original version. 1964 or 65. the righteous brothers!
Ya'll did not tell me Ken from Barbie could sing 😂😂😂 The one who sang this was Bobby Hartfield. And NO ONE could ever come close the perfection of his rendition. Most people think the Righteous Brothers were actually brothers but they weren't but they sure made quite the duo ❤️
Thank You for being you , appreciate you enthusiasm, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were the singers behind The Righteous Brothers, you just saw Bobby Hatfield , Big Hugs from the UK
I totally agree with you! He killed it!
I love at the very end, when he bit his lower lip, kind of shy like, because he knew he NAILED it ❤️👏🏼❤️❤️
Sam Cook did a good job
And LeAnn Rimes she sang it good
But this is Bobbys song
In my opinion no one can sing this song better. This is the master and all others are only copies.
This is his song!
I Agree with Ty. Nobody could touch Bobby Hatfield on this song. I am probably Elvis Presley’s biggest fan but once in a while he hit a ground ball. I am a Patreon and wish Ty the “renaissance man” all the best. America cannot fail as long as we have men like Ty.
Be a Patreon on PayPal really easy. We need to support him.
Nobody ever has nor ever will sing this better than the Righteous Brothers❤
Autocorrect got me
Totally agree! Great respect for Elvis, but this is far and away greater than his version.
Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers singing here had one of the greatest falsetto voices in Rock & Roll history. It was too bad he died too soon. As much as I love Elvis...Bobby Hatfield owns this song, and has a falsetto voice that is to die for. Peace!
The emotion Bobby pulls from my soul each time i hear him belt out this classic, has never ceased the tears from slowly traveling down my cheeks... Godspeed Bobby & Thank you
"Ken from Barbie"
As I wipe coffee off of my desk top screen.
It was worth it.
Thanks!
Bobbie had that smoooth look..., and sound..
I know...🤣🤣🤣 same!!
Lmao girl same!!
You're right, brother. No one could perform this song like Bobby. No one!
God gifted that man with a set of vocals, thank God he didn't keep it to himself!!
Enjoy your commentaries - you have a great presence. Peace.
