This live performance was in 1964 - color TV was not a thing yet! Also, there was no auto tune available either. What you have here are 2 voices in great harmony (baritone and a 3 octave tenor) and just pure raw talent.
No one noticed because Cher was not a background singer on the show. She was a background singer on the studio recording but she was never a background singer on Shindig, she an Sonny had already branched out on their own at the time this took place.
The Righteous Brothers are not real brothers. They are Bobby Hatfield - tenor and Bill Medley-baritone. Bobby passed away in 2003. Check out their "You'll Never Walk Alone".
Wow! How fast the years have gone. They were very very popular in my high school and college days. Hard to believe Bobby Hatfield is gone. He is missed. Bill Medley still singing beautifully! 🎼🎼🎼
🎉 I was a teenager when this was made and they had it in Good old black & white. Color t.v. Did not come On TV until the seventies I believe I'm not sure but maybe the middle seventies I'm not sure But it was just a couple of more years Before they did away With black And white and started in 2 color. The Entertainers of those years war suits with white shirts. That was Practically a uniform in those days. As you get into the seventies and eighties you get into the jumpsuits like Elvis War Then things started to relax and changed.
This is "Blue Eyes Soul." Saw the Righteous Brothers: Bobby Hatfield (Blond tenor) & Bill Medley (Baritone), in 1965 at the Community Concourse in San Diego with my high school sweetheart & love of my life, Sharon. At thst time at lot of people thought they were Black. In fact there were quite a few Black folks there. It waa an AMAZING SHOW. They wore tuxedos & had an orchestra. It was FANTASTIC. They are the GREATEST DUO ever. It was a night I will NEVER forget. After the concert was FANTASTIC TOO.😁 Listen to Soul & Inspiration, See That Girl, Brown Eyed Woman, I Just Wan to To Make Love To You. Stuck on You. Little Latin Lupe Lu. HE, Rock n Roll Heaven, Ebb Tide et al
This is still the most played song ever on the USA radio stations. Another black n White video made after this song is "Soul and Inspiration". Color TV didn't take off until around 1965 and you can see them sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in color from the acclaimed Ed Sullivan TV show. They have such amazing vocals together or on the solos they did on every album. For just the recorded version listen to the counter tenor Bobby Hatfield sing "Ebb Tide" or the baritone Bill Medley sing lead on the bluesy "I Wanna Make Love To You". Their library of songs is a treasure chest to listen to. Enjoyed watching you react to the Righteous Brothers & I subscribed.
They actually preceded the James Bond era. They just have class. The Righteous Brothers and the Motown sound were a part of the richness of the 60s and 70s. We had Amazing dances. Nobody worried about guns or violence. BTW, color TV had started to roll out in 1964, but most people didn't have it until 68 or 69.
Back in the day we were leaving their show and I said the applause was deafening and she said that the applause was loud but all the panties hitting the stage was louder lol maybe lol
If you liked this song, I strongly recommend you react to Soul and Inspiration. It was written as a follow-up to the success of this song by the same writers, features the beautiful harmonies of both "brothers", and peaked at #1 for three straight weeks in the US in 1966. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/cwTdRpYTS4c/видео.html
Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)
Check out Bill Medley "Brown Eyed Woman" he was having an on again off again relationship with Darlene Love and the looks between them is priceless. Also The Night Time is the Right on Shindig singing
This was on the weekly Shindig Show where they were regulars and Shindig was still in black & white but that's where the real gems are. Some TV shows switched to color about this time but I don't think Shindig ever did switch. For their hit songs like this they sang live but to the sound track. Righteous Brothers were known for their R&B so if you want to see the wild and funny guys they truly were I'd go thru more of the old Shindig videos which aren't as clear but they are the show stoppers. They're even better with the live Shindig band, backup singers and dancers. If you react to "Little Latin Lupe Lu" make sure it's from the Shindig Pilot Episode. "I Need Your Loving Everyday" Is my favorite Shindig performance and they let it rip.
Hi from Australia! I'm hoping you do read the comments. I would love to see what you think of an acapella group? Their name is CARMEN ACAPELLA and its them doing BEETHOVEN'S 5TH. They incredible!
I first heard this song by the Righteous Brothers on the radio when I was 9 years old in late 1964 or early 1965 (turned 10 later that year). Our family used to watch the Righteous Brothers when they appeared on TV variety shows of that era -- The Ed Sullivan Show, Andy Williams Show, American Bandstand with Dick Clark, and Shindig among others.

If you like the righteous Brothers check out a couple of other big hits that they had 'soul and inspiration' and' Edd tied' and thank you kind regards..
There was a time when Bill Medley,the teller man,was dealing with a tragedy in his life and Bobby Hatfield carried on alone. Bill left his home early in the morning to go start a tour. Unbeknownst to him,a man slipped in house assaulted and killed his wife. Bill was called back,was even under suspicion until he was cleared. Very sad I can assure you,this was filmed in the time before color television.
Actually it was his ex-wife and as he was several hundred miles away with their son, he was never under suspicion. It was a home invasion and rape which was finally solved by DNA forty years later. The killer had been killed by police about ten years after the crime. Bill left his singing career for the next five years to be a single dad.
I could be wrong about this but somewhere I read that Cher was amongst the singers in the background. Of course it was before she became famous. If this is true.
Let the music flow, after is over you can give your point of few, other wace you interrup people who are lissining.... Let the music flow, let it flow, then we talk aboutit Okay".
Per Bill Medley (2015, on KAAB Fox San Antonio); They were performing as The Paramours, at a club near El Toro Marine base in CA. Some Black Marines heard there were 2 white guys doing R&B, came to check them out & soon more came. The Marines started calling them "righteous" & "brother(s)", which evolved into calling them "righteous brother(s)." When Bill & Bobby were going to record Little Latin Loopie Lou, they wanted a new name & Bobby suggested they use the name the Marines called them.
@@Aurora-tp3dy Thank you. I can’t believe I did that. I knew better. I even knew it was about an actual girlfriend of Bill’s, Lupe Laguna (& I’m not certain of the spelling of her last name). Man, talk about a “senior moment.” Appreciate the correction.
Okay, Nineteen sixty four, Nineteen sixty five or the year said it was still black and white in television, In the united states. We didn't have color TV in the United States. Until a little bit later, So mostly television was In black & white in those days.
Actually not … this was the studio version dubbed over the live version. If you want to hear the live one- take version search it ‘live on Shindig’. It’s really good - but not the same as this. The studio version took multiple takes…According to Bill, they did the first verse alone about 25 times. It took about 8 hours over 2 days to lay down the vocals.
hey my channel this is desrespect ok? i see now u dont have one song whit elvis, hey this line is elvis, he domain, hey please from brazil elvis and the black comunity, never been to spain, try elvis in vegas this same line react this is a ridiculous, elvis is the number 1
Just know when listening to this music, you are aware that it twists the truth of Love. This type of music is deception in that it claims love to be a emotion or a feeling. God's love is sacrificial, giving oneself for the betterment of someone else. This is a selfish and destructive form of love. Destroying families throughput the decades. Know the difference!
unlike most music today these guys had class
58 years ago and it seems like yesterday.
This live performance was in 1964 - color TV was not a thing yet! Also, there was no auto tune available either. What you have here are 2 voices in great harmony (baritone and a 3 octave tenor) and just pure raw talent.
Pure class and talent. Their signature blue eyed soul really shines in ' You'll never walk alone' but anything they do is outstanding.
You may not have noticed one of the back ground singers becomes a star herself, Cher
No one noticed because Cher was not a background singer on the show. She was a background singer on the studio recording but she was never a background singer on Shindig, she an Sonny had already branched out on their own at the time this took place.
The Righteous Brothers are not real brothers. They are Bobby Hatfield - tenor and Bill Medley-baritone. Bobby passed away in 2003. Check out their "You'll Never Walk Alone".
When music was pure and real! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I was in high school when this came out. Black and white was all we had. Not much on television depending on where you lived.
It was beautiful

The most popular song of the twentieth century.
One of the best songs, duos ever.

Thank you for your video . I enjoyed it 😃
Hows' that for a great video. A great song. The greatest duo in music history. There is so much to discover. They are great as solusts or as a duo.
Loved watching the video and a great song 😍😍
Hi from Australia! I'm hoping you do read the comments. I would love to see what you think of an acapella group? Their name is CARMEN ACAPELLA and its them doing BEETHOVEN'S 5TH. They incredible!
A black singer from that era was Jackie Wilson singing‘LONELY TEARDROPS. Please give him a try
1964 was the last year of Black and White T.V.

Truly beautiful. Loved your critique

'64 Color was for movies. There might have been color TV then but most of it was still B&W.
Yes!

Unbeknownst to him,a man slipped in house assaulted and killed his wife. Bill was called back,was even under suspicion until he was cleared. Very sad

how awful I never knew that
Actually it was his ex-wife and as he was several hundred miles away with their son, he was never under suspicion. It was a home invasion and rape which was finally solved by DNA forty years later. The killer had been killed by police about ten years after the crime. Bill left his singing career for the next five years to be a single dad.
It was his ex-wife who had just dropped off her/their child at school and been followed home and murdered. They were no longer living together.
I could be wrong about this but somewhere I read that Cher was amongst the singers in the background. Of course it was before she became famous. If this is true.
One of the backup singers is a very young Cher.
Let the music flow, after is over you can give your point of few, other wace you interrup people who are lissining.... Let the music flow, let it flow, then we talk aboutit Okay".
That song is a classic.
BTW...They are not brothers.
They are not brothers. When they started, both of them decided to called there duo the, Righteous Brothers.

@@wnsafford1854 A very minor correction: Little Latin Lupe Lu...Lupe, a girl's name.
@@Aurora-tp3dy Thank you. I can’t believe I did that. I knew better. I even knew it was about an actual girlfriend of Bill’s, Lupe Laguna (& I’m not certain of the spelling of her last name). Man, talk about a “senior moment.” Appreciate the correction.
@@wnsafford1854 Totally understand. 😁 I believe Laguna is correct.
you should listen to Your Are My Soul and Inspiration
Okay, Nineteen sixty four, Nineteen sixty five or the year said it was still black and white in television, In the united states. We didn't have color TV in the United States. Until a little bit later, So mostly television was In black & white in those days.
I didn't know that they sang the song I heard Elvis Presley singing
This song was written for them … a lot of other artists have covered it, including Elvis and Hall and Oates
James blunt,, monstrers, or goodbye lover
They are not real brothers , thats just the name of the group.
They are not biological brothers. Cher is singing with the group of singers behind them.
No they did not have color TV back then
Do 'Summer Time'.
Why such itty bitty microphones? Did they lip sync this song?
So sad that the Baritone voice has been disappearing from popular music for a few decades now..
And that was onr take to
Actually not … this was the studio version dubbed over the live version. If you want to hear the live one- take version search it ‘live on Shindig’. It’s really good - but not the same as this.

They are not brothers..just friends..
Nobody does this anymore! They are NOT really brothers!
Brothers must not be blood related 🤦🏽♀️
Not brothers,
Bill Medly
Bobby Hatfield
They are not actual brothers, more in spirit than blood!
Their not really brothers just the groups name.
Too late!
Please stop interrupting during showing. Save your comments until afterwards.

They're not related.
