That was all done on 1965 TV studio equipment, one-take, no auto tune, not a recording studio. Done for a TV program of the time. Music videos were 20 years in the future. Talent has a place in the world !!
Yes, some of them just freak out, but i dont blame them..Music from the 60's 70's and 80's, they never heard of it! All they get is rap, hip hop and kpop!..So when they hear real music with instrumentaion and performers who can actually sing..They never heard it before!..And 'soul' being done by white guys?..Stun! Shock Amaze!..And have you noticed, probably have, that the main percussion instrument here, is not drums or base, but a tamborine!..But, all these young people hearing actual music and live performance, will start a possible revolution as they demand more and more of it!...Rapcrappers beware!
They started performing at a club called John's Black Derby in Santa Ana, CA. According to Medley, they adopted the name "The Righteous Brothers" for the duo because black Marines from the El Toro Marine base started calling them "righteous brothers". At the end of a performance, a black U.S. Marine in the audience would shout, "That was righteous, brothers!"
Thank's for sharing YOUR reaction to The Righteous Brothers. Yes, there is no age or any restriction to their songs. 1960s to 2020s, natural talent still touching the hearts of folks.
This was performed the year I was born. Never really listened to them. But as a musician, to hear voices not colored with effects and digital assistance and be so damn powerful and in command is just fantastic.
Christopher Markunas so am I I remember this being released in UK Thought they were black. And that was when I realise Soul isn’t Black/white. It’s colourless. 70yr old uk
I've watched a few reaction videos of this performance. You're the first to mention the quality of the two-part harmonies these guys delivered. Impressive observation. They sang like heaven. Thank you.
100% agree with you, they did not need to swear or cuss and they did not need auto-tune or all the fancy things this was done live just a microphone and voices. Thank you for your reaction God bless you
People wonder why there's so very few groups around that sound like this. There's lots of reasons. But one of them is how guy's like this were willing to do the work, take the risk. The amount of small venues and low paying gigs they did before they got signed is something most people don't understand. And so many on their own before they finally got discovered as a pair. And the amount of equally talented guys and gals we'll never know about, but who did the work as well and just didn't have that timing and plain luck. It's a huge risk. And you'll only do it if you love what you're doing, so even if you don't 'make it' you enjoyed the hell out of the ride anyway. That's what doesn't exist anymore. People just want the fame. The thrill of performing for even a few people is no longer felt. It's become only about the money and fame.
This song, and Unchained Melody both are timeless. I never knew who The Righteous Brothers were even though I have heard those two songs before. Amazing vocals by both.
Dark hair singer is Bill Medley who has baritone voice and blonde hair singer is Bobby Hatfield who had tenor voice. Sadly Bobby died while on the road in a hotel back in early 2000's. Bill still sings with another tenor today.
@@rosiered3403 ....Additionally, Cher actually performed in a number Phil Spector's biggest hit songs as a back up singer. Of course, these were the days before "Sonny and Cher"
@Dan Thomas ...I do remember the story that Cher was a teenager when she met Sonny who was many years her senior. Your question intrigued me so I have to google. Your comment that Sonny was working for Spector as he was making all those hits is true. Sonny first met Cher in a LA "coffee shop" when Cher was 16 in 1962. So Sonny did not meet Cher as they both worked for Spector. Base on dated events, it may have been Sonny that got Cher the gig to be a backup singer for Spector.
Yes. She and Sonny Bono made their Bones working under Phil Spector. They got their name when they were performing at a Naval Base in San Francisco, Ca, and the Audience that had most Black Soldiers clapped and aid "That's Righteous Brothers!" and that's rest is History. In reality a Philadelphia DJ coined the Phrase "Blue Eyed Soul" that is a State that has alot of Singers of their genre. Len Barry (123) Vickie Sue Robinson (Turn The Beat Around) (RIP), Karen Young (Hot Shot). They are not Brothers, The Tall On is Bill Medley and the Blond is Bobby Hatfield. It was one of the first Songs That Phil Spector Produced after the British Invasion and it is next to River Deep Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner one of his greatest achievements. It is also next to Stairway To Heaven one of the most played songs in the History of The Radio in North America. It was later covered by Hall & Oates. If you can listen to "Soul & Inspiration". Bill admitted he was heavily influenced by Ray Charles. The Show you see them on is Shindig a Popular Rock & Roll Show fro the 1960's. The Ladies on The Left were The Blossoms and the Fellows on the Right were The Wellingtons while the "Other" Ladies were the Dancers. They alos made History be being on the very first Cover of The Teen Magazine Tiger Beat in 1965, and in 1970 it created the First African American Teen Magazine Right On. The Co-Owner Lloyd Thaxton also had a Show that a lot of R & B Singers performed on.
I grew up with my mom listening to these guys and I assumed they were black. I'm biracial and my mom is black and to be honest, she didn't listen to a lot of caucasian singers. I just found out about 10 years ago that they were white!
Righteous Brothers were Bill Medley (deep voice) and Bobby Hatfield (high voice). Great blue-eyed soul singers of the 1960s. Another popular tune they (Bobby Hatfield) sing is "Unchained Melody". Ndisa, if you want to continue to listen to this type of music, I recommend Boz Scaggs' "Look What You've Done to Me".
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
I'm so happy that you enjoyed some music from my era. It's just as good now as it was when it was released. Really pleased that you liked it. I'm just an old guy reminiscing. 😊
Nobody would believe it now, but this music popular on the am car radio channels. You couldn't find a freeway entrance without hearing it, like a probe from the outer limits. Science fiction was so big in those days, and this was contrapuntal and discordant, in a subtle way. Imagine listening to this, while you were watching the X Files.
I'm a white man and I thought you were so cute and sweet. When you said they don't cuss in old music I thought wow do they cuss in newer music, that really caught my ear. Most of the music I listen to is forty yrs. or older and I didn't really think about that people cuss in music. I suppose this shows how old I really am, 72 yrs. old.
Still holds the record for 20th Century radio play. I like The Police but it's typical of modern music that it's been overtaken by a song about a stalker!
I got one for you to react to, ""CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU" by Andy Williams a song that Beyonce fell in love with and said that nobody could sing this song except for Andy.
Every time i hear this song, I not only think of Top Gun but also the infamous Lip Sync Battle on The Tonight Show between Tom Cruise & Jimmy Fallon. Makes you wonder if they’ll bring this song back for Top Gun: Maverick.
I watched a couple of your reaction videos and your growing on me love your sweet personality and smile it's really hard to find sweet reactors like you thank you for a great reaction and by the way I love your purple hair color it's adorable on you
*Rick Astley " Never Gonna Give You Up" is another GREAT 80s singer with a voice that YOU WOULD NOT expect to come from him. Do a video on him. You will enjoy it* *And" Take on Me" by Tears for Fears* Both classic 80s hits *Also BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM ever sung was in 1996 when Whitney Houston sang it* MY WORD she sings like no other and she was stunning.. RIP Whitney! This is what us Gen X and older generation mean when we say they don't make and sing songs like they used to. They were just as good live as they are recorded. It's becoming a lost art... i would personally say it's still found in more country music these days then any other genre of music, although you can still find it in all if you search. Also you could/can listen to it with the whole family with out worrying what word is going to come next
Romantic music, somerhing today's youth lack by far. That makes it for a tragic and failed relationship wit anyone. Besides, these songs don't degrade women but hold them in a special place.

It's not OLD music ... It IS TIMELESS! Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield ARE amazing! RIP, Bobby!

And all white was treats ThEM REALLY BAD
That moment when black reactioners realise the Righteous Brothers are white is always priceless. Soul has no colour :)

I know it's great to see people loving the music I grew up with
Music has no color. It's amazing watching these kids listening to our music and realizing that today's music sucks
SmoshNZ American Blacks think they have a monopoly on “soul” and music in general
Maybe stfu about race in the first place 👍

Don’t know if the story is true but it’s as good as any I’ve heard.
What would this world be like if more woman were still sang songs of love like this, instead of what they hear today?
The most perfect duo that ever lived with out any doubt whatsoever.
Thank's for sharing YOUR reaction to The Righteous Brothers. Yes, there is no age or any restriction to their songs. 1960s to 2020s, natural talent still touching the hearts of folks.
The population exploded in each town where they performed..evertime!
Simply magic - their songs will never die. Their harmonies are breathtaking as are their individual voices. Thank you for the music. N.
Music... life.... has no color... we all matter... we are all in life together! Peace and love!
This was performed the year I was born. Never really listened to them. But as a musician, to hear voices not colored with effects and digital assistance and be so damn powerful and in command is just fantastic.
Singers like them will probably never come back again...
Devin townsend is about the ONLY SINGER ledt
They are gone, gone, gone....at least one is.
@@jeffnovack1321 Sadly you are correct!
Old, old music? I remember when this song first came out. sigh... old....
ohh rah goo sir. I remember hearing this on my parents radio when i was kid.
Semper Fi brother.
black and white 200lb tvs.. . . . . old old. We carry half pound HD color TVs in our pockets now. lol
Christopher Markunas - Just another old guy here, thinking back.
Christopher Markunas so am I I remember this being released in UK
Thought they were black. And that was when I realise Soul isn’t Black/white. It’s colourless. 70yr old uk
They are the origin of the term Blue Eyed Soul. Another soulful performance you should hear is Tom Jones "I'll Never Fall in Love Again"
Her smile when Bobby Hatfield's spot light comes on, remembering him from unchained melody ! Very good
I will forever associate this song with top gun, on eof my fave movies as a kid
I've watched a few reaction videos of this performance. You're the first to mention the quality of the two-part harmonies these guys delivered. Impressive observation. They sang like heaven. Thank you.
They had just finished a concert when someone said to them "That's righteos music, brother". That's where Righteous Brothers came from.
Black Marines. Semper Fi
Blue eyed soul A gift from GOD plain and simple
For another Golden Oldie, try Roy Orbison, “Crying”. 🤗👍🏻
100% agree with you, they did not need to swear or cuss and they did not need auto-tune or all the fancy things this was done live just a microphone and voices. Thank you for your reaction God bless you
I mean, plus an orchestra and choir, but sure.
This duet sang the whole 88 keys of piano, unlike nobody else.
We baby boomers have always had the best music!
People wonder why there's so very few groups around that sound like this.

It's become only about the money and fame.
Had my first high school dance to this song. Have always remembered that night when I hear it
They are Righteous Brothers
This song, and Unchained Melody both are timeless. I never knew who The Righteous Brothers were even though I have heard those two songs before. Amazing vocals by both.
Great reaction, old music is amazing.
I'd say good music is amazing
Dark hair singer is Bill Medley who has baritone voice and blonde hair singer is Bobby Hatfield who had tenor voice. Sadly Bobby died while on the road in a hotel back in early 2000's. Bill still sings with another tenor today.
Most listened to song of the 20th century.
You are a beautiful young lady & your reaction was as beautiful as the song
A young unknown Cher was one of the backup singers on this record.
Really? I didn't know that.
I believe it was a pretty good move on her part. It seems to have played out rather well for her ;)
@@rosiered3403 ....Additionally, Cher actually performed in a number Phil Spector's biggest hit songs as a back up singer. Of course, these were the days before "Sonny and Cher"

The most requested and played song of the 20th Century !! Love watching you enjoy this song.
You just uncovered blue-eyed soul. Love your reaction, and keep up the good work.

Blue-eyed soul at its best!
Musical is that universal bond only God could have conceived. Deo Gracias.
Their harmony is the best.
Heard that they are in the category called blue eye soul.

Loved the reaction. You have a beautiful smile! :)

That gave me chills!!
You should hear and react to Love me tender, sung by Elvis Presley to stunning hollywood beauty Debra Paget in a western movie.
The one with the deep voice is Bill the one that sung Unchained Melody is Bobby
I really love this song ❤❤❤!!.
I honestly can't hear this song and not think about the closing credits of Top Gun
same here
Beautiful reaction
Back in the day it made sense to be a tuxedo salesman.
This is gold !
The baritone on the right is Bill Medley. The tenor with amazing range on the left is the late Bobby Hatfield, who sang the Unchained Melody.
Check out Soul & Inspiration by them as well. So so good.
Righteous bro classic
I loved your reaction....in my book, easily one of the best reaction videos of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" yet.
Glad you are listening to these great singers. You are so cute too & adorable! Much success on your channel!
Jesus! Her accent made her that much hotter.
You are wise beyond your years. Love watching you!
Great love songs are timeless as this one shows...
Until 2019, this was the all-time most played song on the radio. It was topped last year by The Police’s “Every Breath You Take”.
That’s a fact I really didn’t want to know 😦
Still holds the record for 20th Century radio play. I like The Police but it's typical of modern music that it's been overtaken by a song about a stalker!
I like your reaction. Great reaction when they hit the high notes in the bridge in the middle. One of my favorite songs
I got one for you to react to, ""CAN'T GET USED TO LOSING YOU" by Andy Williams a song that Beyonce fell in love with and said that nobody could sing this song except for Andy.
This Girl has a Beautiful smile,
Thanks you beautiful lady
I loved your reaction. Thank you for sharing! Blessings, Sam
Gotta love the early 60s lighting and camera work lol. These guys were fabulous.
Every time i hear this song, I not only think of Top Gun but also the infamous Lip Sync Battle on The Tonight Show between Tom Cruise & Jimmy Fallon. Makes you wonder if they’ll bring this song back for Top Gun: Maverick.
WOW! What a great song. They don't make them like that anymore. Would the music industry play them if they did?
If you want to hear another great 60's love song, listen to "The Look of Love" by Dusty Springfield.
Thats a Bacharach tune, yes? Vikki Carr did a fantastic version, too.
Isaac Hayes owned that song with a soulful version.
I agree with you young lady and enjoy your video! God bless you!
Great song!
You're such an adorable baby girl! First time to see you.
Ndisa gives the Best Reviews!!
I watched a couple of your reaction videos and your growing on me love your sweet personality and smile it's really hard to find sweet reactors like you thank you for a great reaction and by the way I love your purple hair color it's adorable on you
I do like your accent - where's it from?
Oh, cool reaction, too - nice to see the older stuff I grew up with making a resurgence 😎
You should review the Righteous Bros. "Soul and Inspiration" I played it for my wife when she walked up to the preacher.
I know right!
timeless
*Rick Astley " Never Gonna Give You Up" is another GREAT 80s singer with a voice that YOU WOULD NOT expect to come from him. Do a video on him. You will enjoy it*
*And" Take on Me" by Tears for Fears*
Both classic 80s hits
*Also BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM ever sung was in 1996 when Whitney Houston sang it* MY WORD she sings like no other and she was stunning.. RIP Whitney!
This is what us Gen X and older generation mean when we say they don't make and sing songs like they used to. They were just as good live as they are recorded. It's becoming a lost art... i would personally say it's still found in more country music these days then any other genre of music, although you can still find it in all if you search. Also you could/can listen to it with the whole family with out worrying what word is going to come next
Check out Bob Seger... the guy can sing and has soul.
Try Jackie Wilson singing‘LONELY TEARDROPS FROM 1962
Romantic music, somerhing today's youth lack by far. That makes it for a tragic and failed relationship wit anyone. Besides, these songs don't degrade women but hold them in a special place.
I love this song
and this TOP GUN movie
I keep seeing the scene or when the F14 Tomcat pushes the afterburner on this song, it's just great

You are such a amazing girl.
Excellent reaction. You should react to Pentatonix. They’re an acapella group and have fantastic music.
My comment is this Not only is this a fun video , but this may have a defusing effect on some people as regards black white relations in America, All the best, Like Michael Jackson said " Everybody singin Its beautiful!"
