    I served during Vietnam. I did not ever serve in country so I don't want to take away from those who did. But this song was something I think of those who served there and took this love song to heart. Especially the thought of being forgotten. Even though I didn't serve in country, this song meant a lot to me as my girl friend at the time is now my wife of 46 years. Time can do so much, are you still mine! Those are the words that have impact.

    The Righteous Brothers grew up with The Blues and Jazz. I hope that explains them singing with Soul. You see, music is food for the Soul. It's what cleanses our minds and bodies from the everyday stresses and rigors of everyday life and nothing does it better than some good old Blues, Jazz or plain old Soul Music.

    Glad you enjoyed this so much. Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. When he teams up with Bill Medley the other brother they sing such greats as You lost that Loving Feeling, Soul and Inspiration, For once in my Life, Little Latin Lupe LU and they were on 🔥 Fire doing Night Time is the Right Time. Best success on yr channel!

    I am 81 and have heard several artists before Bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of their albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we know. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages

    Live in '65! His parents in the audience. Honeyed voice, fantastic breath/phrasing control, no vocal "searching" for the notes -- 100% on-target effortlessly. This performance of such a classic song is a national treasure. Written for a prison movie, "Unchained," in 1955, covered by hundreds of singers since, including Elvis.

    1st. There are two Righteous Bros but at times they would do solos also. This is Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Bros singing live on the Andy Williams show there were no do overs just his amazing voice and a small microphone. Many artists before and after him have done this song but no one will ever compare to his performance. It was effortless, smooth and sheer perfection. Many fell in love to this song and with him he was the whole package. Bobby was the tenor voice and Bill Melody was the baritone voice they shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic They were considered the best Duo in music theybstarted in 1963 together.

    That is by far my favorite version of the song. He sings it so beautifully and so effortlessly. No theatrics to emphasize the notes, just a confident face-- sure and true. True blue. Blue, as in blue-eyed soul. He describes that genre... defines it... embodies it. So good to see young people (esp. those who grew up listening to mom and pop's old soul music), discovering this, and reacting with surprised amazement. I was a Beatles and Stones fan back in the day, but dearly loved soul and its progression over time (child of the '60s). But of the "blue-eyed" guys: Bobby Hatfield always ruled.

    They got their name because they were performing in a genre that was predominantly black r&b performers, as they left the stage some other performers yelled out “ that was righteous brother” and that’s the name they took for themselves. Check out “ You’ve lost that loving feeling “ it’s even better I think, both guys sing that one, all their songs were good though and no auto tune back then. 👍🏻

I'm like NO...and WHY would I even lie about this of all the things in the world to choose from if I wanted to tell tales? Seriously think about it, how does that even make sense? I tell them go do you research people! Idk why it's so hard, cuz that's what I do all day is bury my head into piles of crazy research! LOL 😂 😏❤️😎🤘 #NYStateParalegal #NYGenXBikerLady

      I'm not at all surprised that few know about a 67 year old "B flick", taken from the book "Prisoners are People".....but if they revisit the lyrics, it makes complete sense that the guy is locked up.

    Really enjoyed watching you react. Bobby Hatfield was 25 when they did this show. Had terrible stage fright, a cold, plus his mum was in the audience. Pure singing, no autotune and rigamarole. The audience was quiet per their instructions abd the production values were excellent for their time. Bobby sang itcagain 25 years later for Ghost but this is the one I like best.
    Have a listen to Sam Cooke singing this. A softer, more intimate version, but quite wonderful.

    PinkMetalHead's unspoken reactions:
    1:01, eyes widen, smiles, thinks "Hmmm, what a sharp-dresses, good looking guy";
    1:28, reaches for volume control. thinks " I want more of this,and I want it LOUDER!"
    1 ;59 her face clearly shows she's starting to realise that Bobby has unexpected depths;
    rest of tape, stares transfixed staring at screen,thinking " This guy has such a box of tricks in his voice";
    Final crescendo ; "What was I listening to- i can't speak right now!" and she splices her comment in after she recovers!"
    You're not the first woman to be made speechless by this (eg, your Mum and millions of others!
    Great reaction I loved it-it's great to see a young woman so moved by one of the songs of my early teen years. :-)

    To skip the obvious (for which I’m sure there are thousands of comments):
    Just discovered your reaction videos. I’m kind of addicted to reaction videos. It’s fun to vicariously enjoy something again, which I have enjoyed in my life.
    And reaction videos seem to often scratch that itch. And there’s a whole range of how people do it.
    What I like about yours (again, to skip
    the obvious), is that not only do you show your feelings, but your thoughts afterwards are either interesting or right on or both. Even when you say something like “I’m literally speechless”, it’s kind of cool, because it comes out so honestly that it hits home.
    And I’m glad you really own your emotional reactions to these things (after all: these are called “*reaction* videos! That’s what we show up for!).
    For example, crying to music or movies or other art, is both natural and normal and it’s good for the person doing the crying and often for those witnessing. Doesn’t mean that crying for *anything* is always good. But for music? That is moving? I mean, c’mon! It’s awesome. And great to see someone feeling something to something that also moves us.
    Anyways, thanks for your reaction videos. They are great and I got a lot to catch up with.
    If I had to make a request, since you seem to love The Bee Gees and their harmonies (part of that comes from the fact they are brothers and had been singing together since they were little kids), I’d love to see and hear your reactions to The Beach Boys (who also influenced The Bee Gees a lot. And also started with three brothers, a cousin and a friend).
    I think anything from the album Pet Sounds would be a great place to start. Especially “God Only Knows” (one of the most beautiful songs ever IMHO). But also “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, “Sloop
    John B” or “I Guess I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times”
    From an earlier album, maybe “Please Let Me Wonder”.
    But there’s so many.
    Thanks again for your videos and your service as a nurse.
    (And for the obvious, not to be creepy, because I’m old enough to be your grandfather, and hopefully it isn’t, but God’s beauty is always a wonder to behold. And I always say a blessing and a prayer when I see someone beautiful or a beautiful part of nature. Just sayin’. Hopefully no offense is taken. I now return you to your regularly scheduled program and look forward to seeing more of your work. Keep up all the good work).
