    So glad Bobby lived to experience this. And so heartbroken that he died a few months later. What a beautiful person and epic talent.

    What people should remember, is that Bill & Bobby were extremely humble and enjoyed the fans like no other. If you have seen their concerts they loved the fans. Someone ask Bobby how many times did you sing unchained melody? He said" every time they asked me". Unchained melody is Bobby Hatfield's forever.

    Bobby was not a habitual drug user....Bill said he never witnessed this. His autopsy said he had severe coronary heart disease and included this as a major cause of death affected by the cocaine. Bobby was a family man and dedicated to his kids and wife who had Lupus ....read his Wikipedia for more.

    I agree with the person who commented below that there should be a book about Bobby Hatfield's life: There should be a book about Bobby. Like everyone else, his life wasn't always a picnic but he was a stunning singer and had such a one-in-a-million voice. From what I have read he was reportedly a kind, gentle, loving and generous person despite his flaws. Personally, as a therapist and someone who reads people well, though Bobby was always smiling and joking, I believe he was running from some things that tormented him. Love him.

    Moonglow Records for Little Latin Lupe Lu .... sang it in 1963 in San Jose, CA
    in a parking lot at John's Drive-In. These gentleman never, ever forgot their fans.
    Bill once said, "every night the crowd wants to hear this song." They always
    delivered. What I would give to to just see them sing this LIVE one more time -
    Bobby Hatfield is so greatly missed by millions of fans. In God's hands now .....

    @juvenilehall1979 I was happy to hear Bill mention "Lupe Lu" and thank Moonglow Records, and to hear the response that got from the crowd, because far too many people think their career began with Phil Spector and "Lovin' Feeling". The Moonglow recordings are among their best, especially vocally, and several of those songs became garage band staples.

    Regardless of the drug use which was a big part of the 60s, you have to walk a mile in their shoes before you know how their life ended up that way, and be grateful yours was not lived ,where they were so prevalent and accepted. There was no "Just say no" then.
    Like Hendrix and Joplin, The Righteous Brothers, sadly ended their career on a sad note... But regardless of the mistakes they made… Their talent and music will live on forever. Loved them then, and love them still.

    of 62-years old .... They came out and nailed it. This is the last "live"

He doesn't look like his son Dustin, is covered in tattoos, is from the Midwest, lives in squalor and his age is all wrong.

And, let's face it, Bill would never have been the success he was without Bobby's talent. Oh dear. We could go on forever but Bobby is gone. Now a woman claims that she is Bob's illegitimate daughter given up for adoption in 1959. Wrote a book about it. I'm not too thrilled with her doing that since Bobby is deceased and she sort of forced herself on his family. If he was alive and gave her permission to write a book it would be a different story. But putting that into the public domain to make herself famous? No, not nice.

And sometimes I look his Fb page and it doesn’t give him the Credit He deserves as an artist , a singer and spetacular performer. And Maybe if He was left to impose his energetic personality He would gone much further. In his first vídeos He was really enjoying and happy, teasing Bill, what a diferent posture from when they begin to be famous.
