    It has been many months since you first reacted to this. I am glad to hear how complimentary you were to this legend, singing a legendary song. Do not hesitate to give your opinions, ever. It is YOUR channel and the whole idea is to share opinions with your followers, and then they get to respond in return. Those with negatives opinions are entitled to express how they feel about it, but they should use decent manners. If they are rude or worse, just ignore them. They are not worth of anyone's time or emotion. Thanks BP. 🤗👌❣

There is no explination for today's lazyness but there is a reason for today's weakness. I started working at the age of 7 and out of nesesity. I learnered to drive at the age of 8. People had to do things live and in person and prove they were who they said they were and what they could do. I guess after all these decades. It built character in us and made us better than today's generation in so many ways. We were and are more real . . . .

    • @gwydion56
      @gwydion56 7 месяцев назад +51

      Good point to make! Music was a powerful influence to help break down the color barriers you and I both knew as children. Talent doesn't care about skin color, and slowly but surely that had an impact on the world as music gave black performers a leading role in creating new musical genres, and both black and white audiences learned to appreciate the musicians who made great music regardless of the color of their skin. We are far from perfect today, but music has certainly helped contribute to moving the world in the right direction.

      ​​@@RobertSmith-iw2kbIt's a shame you write claptrap presented as fact. He wasn't so young. 63 isn't extremely old, but certainly not very young. Most importantly, he didn't have a terrible addiction, unless you count cigarettes. Yes, a trace amount of cocaine turned up in the autopsy, but he died in his sleep from a run of the mill heart attack. Could make a list of what could cause that erroneous tox result. He wasn't feeling well so he had dinner in his room and fell asleep. Those close to him, family and friends, never saw him using or under the influence. The autopsy also found he had blockages in his arteries up to 95%...bypass surgery was needed. According to one of his sons, he had a doctor's appointment scheduled for after that tour. Too bad it wasn't before the tour.
      Wanted to add: no drugs or drug paraphernalia was found in his room.

    This song was recorded by 670 people worldwide including by Elvis. It will always belong to Bobby. They were called the first blue eyed soul and every colour woman loved them. I grew up to this. I used to request You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling every single week at our local dance. Bobby has the high notes and Bill has the deep notes. They are magic. They are not brothers.
    No auto tune just a funny little microphone. Wait for the end notes and the little smile at the end because he got through it and his Mother was in the audience. I am 71 years old and we had the very best music to grow up with.

    Bobby Hatfield wasn't just Talented, he took a lot of time, effort and dedication to get that good at the skill of singing. He had to accept criticism, and even harder, listen to his own voice critically to know what mistakes were made, or to know how he could improve. Lots of practice, lots of rehearsal, doing it over and over, testing and comparing versions and pacing.
    He had an exceptional voice, and plenty of talent, but it was huge amounts of hard work that really put them on the map.

    I’m from the 60’s. Graduated from high school in ‘69. Those types of songs were written and sung during the Vietnam War. If you listen again it states “wait for me”. That’s what we did and the young men right out of high school became soldiers and were sent on to train for a war we should not have been in. It was a very difficult and frightening time. My fiancé was in Vietnam when he was 19 years old. We did marry but what that particular war did to young men who only had less than 4-5 months training in Basic and AIT training couldn’t begin to prepare them for what they went through.

    Well I grew up in the sixties. These singers always sang live and they were good and then the good got even better … practice makes perfect. True artist(s) indeed …they traveled everywhere by car and sometimes bus and maybe trains and had to be good or they were booed offstage and right out of the place sometimes even having things thrown at them while on stage. It was rough for people if they weren’t beyond good.😊
