No lip sync, no voice dubbing, no auto tune, just a live performance by an amazing voice. True talent!
Plus, as far as I can tell he was backed by a live orchestra too.
ART....pure ART
@@markdecker6190 That is correct. Live orchestras for these live television performances were the standard in the 60s and early 70s.
auto tune did not exist, the others did and were used in movie musicals but was not accepted by promoters or audiences live. and even in the studio you had to sing like that.
Just grabs the mic and goes
His Mom was in the audience for this. Can you imagine how proud she was!
@@Nightcloudmama And he was sick! Just an amazing talent…
Oh my gosh ..just imagining that made me almost made.me cry..what a voice..amazing song
I’m 72 and it’s great to see a young generation appreciate the music I grew up on.
I know I grew up with this music so great to see other young people to find and like our music 🎵 please bring it back if you could find the singer.
Amen, my Brother! Always gives me the chills. And his spectacular range was astounding! Great to see you being bold enough to bring a true classic to your viewers. Good on ya.
I saw the original on the Andy Williams show, it is #1 , Bobby is a contralto.
@@jimbro.
Bobby Hatfield
was a countertenor.
I’m 71 isn’t it wonderful to see the young people today listening to our generations music.
Only one of the greatest ballads ever recorded!
This was my mom and dad's song. We played it at her funeral and dad got up to lean over and hold her while swaying as if like a last dance. You could hear tissues being pulled from boxes when he did that. He died 6 months later from a broken heart. RIP mom and dad.
your parents were truly in love and that was a gift. so sorry for your loss.
So sweet ! Thank you for sharing ! 😢🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely one of the purest recordings
That is so sweet. My Dad also died a few months after my mom. They were married 67 years.
❤
So why am i crying? My generation. My music. My story. My life.
Just breath taking isn’t it?
This was mine & the love of my life’s song ❤
You’re generations music is very much alive
My love to you!
I’m from this era and I always loved the Righteous Brothers music they were so good this song still makes me cry every time I hear it thanks for the memories!!!
Told ya, Bro! That was Bobby Hatfield, BTW. He was nervous, performing this song live, because his mom was in the audience and he was not feeling well. Pure talent, brother, and I knew you'd like his voice. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep. He actually had a cold the night he performed this.
Mega Talent
Good call. It hit him harder than I thought it would. Pure talent can't be denied.
Mega❤❤❤
He also sang without practice. No warm up or checked to make sure the back up music was in tune. True love for excellence.
This type of music, free of autotune and free of agendas, NEEDS to live on generation to generation.
That shit is sung live...no mixing..no nothing...that's golden
Yeah this isn’t the version I’ve seen a bunch of times before. Not terribly different but he clearly does original, ad lib runs. Live, on stage, on TV. Balllllz
Real singers!!! No autotune!!!!!
@@surf101- Few people have an outstanding voice of Bobby's quality. We get to hear many others that are borderline who with autotune have given us some great songs.
When you have talent like these young men had, nothing else is necessary
The singular greatest live solo performance of all time. Period.
AGREED!
Don’t forget that this was WAY before auto-tune. That’s his real voice.
Ever heard Dimash sing SOS?
This was the anthem of our service men in Vietnam for their wives and girlfriends hoping they’d still be there for them when..if…they made it home. He is called a counter tenor…every woman loves slow dancing to this with that someone special…just pure raw talent..no auto tune, lip syncing or gimmicks..
Probably the greatest male vocal performance ever.
Probably?
Well, I can't go that far, what with Pavarotti.
@@NewEarthBlog How about we settle on top male pop vocal performance, just to avoid having the two go head to head?
I was born in 1960, and every time I hear this song I cry 😭😭
I was more than 10 years earlier and I still get chills up and down my body!!!!
Now you should check them both out singing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"
from Top Gun😁😁
This was in a movie as well right? That Patrick swayze one with whoopi?
Yep
@@mgmemorabilia "Ghost"
This
I am 75 years old and that is my very very favorite song of all time. Thank you.
I am OVER THE MOON that you listened to this one. Remember this is a man singing this right then and there. Perfect in every way... off the cuff. That gorgeous voice and note he held forever... NO FIXING, just real, RAW talent and power.
Huge thanks to whomever convinced you to listen to this one. It's so wonderful.
.......and now you've got a 68 year old Yorkshireman with tears rolling down his face .
Im pretty sure Ive never listened to this song, this music, without the tears appearing, and Ive just listened to it on another utube channel as well ☺
I cry every time I hear it!
This was sung in Ghost?
@@nelitasciretta7101likewise, makes me think of the love of my life. He has moved on from our dimension now, and I miss him every day.
me too
Both brothers sing You've Lost that Loving Feeling. One of their most popular.
They're not actual brothers. Bill Medley. Bobby Hatfield.
@bparker8195
Yes, you're right, I only said brothers because that's part of their stage name.
Per BMI, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling was the #1 requested song of the 20th century.
The late great Bobby Hatfield.....nobody does this better...
I am 82 years and yearn for music today like this--voices so beautiful and lyrics so caring and full of love.
81 here..thanks so much
He's smiling because his mom is in the audience!!!
the Righteous Brother are the pioneers of "Blue-eyed Soul" genre. This genre had white musicians/songwriters/singers who had vocals, wrote music, and played instruments that capture the Soul music of Motown, Blues, Gospel, and Jazz. They sounded like the artists of the American Blacks and composed songs of Black people's music of the 50's, 60's & 70's earning them a category in music History as "Blue-Eyed Soul. The Righteous Brothers were the pioneers of that movement.
Blue eyed soul genre? Never heard of it! They ARE IT! Some, like Hall and Oats tried to cash in on their sound, but it's NOT a genre.
Hall and Oates never pretended to be soul.
@@lokisfriend You're correct. I meant (song) not sound.
@@jeffreytenly9399 lol, I mentally scrolled through their songs that I remembered and was thinking that I might be unclear about genre's. 😆
You are exactly right. Most folks don't know how hard it was for guys like Elvis to get his songs played because they called it black music. I'm happy to give the black artists credit for the style if music because they deserve it.
Sung live. No auto tune, no effects, no lip sync. Just pure talent
The guy that introduced them was Andy Williams, one of the greatest singers of all time.
Andy would be what they used to call a "crooner", ie "Moon River".
Sadly Bobby Hatfield died about 20 years ago. But Bill Medley (tall one deep voice) is still performing I think.
@@pinky2245 If you can still find it, read Andy’s autobiography. He had an interesting life.
@@7spadefish7 Yes, I know he did. I always enjoyed his music, and also when he included his brothers.
@@7spadefish7 true true!! I love Andy Williams ❣️❣️❣️ I loved watching his specials! Especially the Christmas specials!!!
@@teresasullivan4588he introduced the Osmond Brothers to the world.
His mama was in the audience so he really wanted to sing it perfectly! He certainly succeeded!👏🏿💙👏🏿💙👏🏿💙👏🏿
I grew up with excellent music ,im 70 and still get chills.
I agree!!!!!
@susanallen3783 Im susan allen as well
So good to see someone step outside their genre and be overwhelmed by phenomenal talent.
I can't tell you how awesome it was to watch you watch THIS. The fact that it struck you as it did just proves that you are a MUSIC lover....not just rap or rock, or metal. There's merit in all music, not everyone can appreciate that.
exactly
One of the greatest songs ever sung by a man without AutoTune just a microphone. Stunningly Beautiful. Eternal!!!
You ruined the most finest performance of the absolute best song ever written with all your talking and stopping and rewinding. You should have taken notes and done your analysis after. You owe yourr viewers and the Righteous Brothers another presentation.
Good is good no matter what generation its from.
True but the standards been set.
The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody could be the greatest live performance of all time.
Who cares how it plays on the channel... dude killed it and you felt it like the rest of us did. Love this song and reaction great job!!
The look on his face when Bobby started singing is priceless.
Bobby’s great, but you MUST hear the two of them singing “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling.”
Stupendous harmonies! And yes, Blue-Eyed Soul was a thing.
I've never met anyone who wasn't blown away hearing this song
thank you for playing it. he has one of the most beautiful voices ever.
Its flippin amazing that they are standing there (a bit nervous) talking with Andy Williams and then he just takes the mic and out comes this masterpiece of a song. Then he grins. Who could do this today?
I’m 70 years old and it’s a treat to watch you explore the great music I grew up with! TY!
This was in the 60s . The men were in Vietnam. The girls were back home. This song told the story of all the boys over there and their true feelings. I cry every time I hear it. EVERY TIME !!! I'm 73 BTW
At that time, singers made even hard songs look easy. The sign of a true artist.
This is real music, not the nonsense we hear today.
A true musician listens to everything and appreciates excellence wherever it’s found. You, young man, are a true musician.
MollyBoy, Thank you for having an open mind and playing this. Good to see you so young being able to appreciate this beautiful song. Amazing.
It's his control. It's his 3 octave range. It's the lyrics and melody. And it's absolutely the pink suit. Great reaction.
We were so lucky to have this music in our time, I'm 81 and it's so lovely to see young people enjoy it.
Makes me so happy when a young person hears the beauty of older, classic tunes.
Watching your reaction and the dance afterwards, truly brought me joy, thank you
@@jlcutright0723 indeed!!! Quality is hard to deny when you are open minded and open hearted!
Dude literally had the voice of an angel. Absolute chills, every time.
Quintessential slow-dance song... probably sung at MILLIONS of weddings...
Im 69 and I loved the righteous brothers...so soulful ...
At 74 the song still pulls up my heartstrings and gives me major chill bumps
I like that you appreciated that performance. When you think about the fact that it was a live performance, one take, no voice enhancements, I truly think of it as one of the most epic performances of all time. Thanks for the review.
that's the way all performances were done. live. back in the day and there were many people that were the audience. the thrill was real!
OMG!!!!!!! I can't believe you listened to this! I've been wanting to suggest this for quite a while, but, didn't think it would fly. This song/video makes me CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME that I watch it! The Righteous Brothers are from an era that was simple and rhythm and blues with a little soul was quite the thing . THANKS !!!!!!!!!!
Boys, if you are in love with the girl. Play this and ask her to slow dance with you. You'll have a chance to win her heart forever.
His voice is beautiful, and the range is incredible, but the thing that knocks me out is his breath control. He can keep those big long arpeggios going for an incredible amount of time.
The song was during the Vietnam War. Many American soldiers listened to this song, missing their sweet loves back home. Heartbreaking song.❤
No auto tune. Straight talent
and a six octave register...
Bobby was a countertenor. He had an unbelievable vocal range. He could have made a name for himself as an opera singer but his heart belonged to soul and rock and roll.
Bobby Hatfield is an operatic tenor, and his range extends up into the counter tenor range (where a man's voice is so high it sounds like a woman's voice). He is phenomenal. What makes the Righteous Brothers so amazing, though, is that Bill Medley is a Bass/Baritone. Their harmonies are like nothing we get to hear anymore. RIP, Bobby. Check out 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' to hear them both singing.
I've been listening to this song since the 60s and it still can make me cry.
Bobby's voice cracked a few times because he was so nervous about his mom being in the audience. But he absolutely nailed it.
I think the cracks were intentional to give more feeling to the song!
Little known fact: the year before in August of 1964, they were an opening act for the Beatles on tour in the USA!! they got a record contract and left the tour. Bobby and Bill were on ture in 2003. in November they were to sing in Kalamazoo MI. just an hour from my house. Bobby didn't show on time to start thet show. They found him dead in is hotel room from an apparent heart attack at age 63. Bill is actually still alive. it is uncanny that This tape of Bobby still sends chills up and down the spine to young people, and melts the girls in their computer chairs.
@@thomastimlin1724 Bobby and Bill didn't leave the Beatles tour for a record contract, they left to go back to Los Angeles to audition for the pilot of the television show, Shindig.
Omg. That has to be the sweetest most romantic thing I have ever seen. Keep being the amazing authentic self you are.
Yes, I came to say just this!
❤I am 77 and every time I hear this song by Bobby I cry....😢😢😢😢
I get chills and feel like I'm floating...
...so beautiful, I can't really express how I feel❤
Thank you Bobby Hatfield ❤
I wonder if you knew how many millions of people you touched...
🙏 RIP❤LOVED YOU
I am with you there and also 77 years old.
I love the ending when he casually bites his lip like thinking "I killed it" or "damn I'm good". This song is featured in the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
It was a nervous habit and more like thank heavens I didn't faint. Read somewhere he said just before he began he felt like he was going to faint. He was always nervous about performing.
That was pure talent, that was what we exerienced, no voice effects just people who could REALY sing!!!!
This song STILL makes the hair stand up on my arm. NOTHING today can touch this performance!
No auto tune back then. Just pure talent.
Not many people have a voice of his quality though. Autotune gets criticized too often as it allows us to hear some singers that aren't as strong as others and without it we just wouldn't hear them, when in reality they are good singers. No, not top tare like this, but good nonetheless.
I'm so thankful for the younger people for keeping my childhood alive!!! Thanks for the memories.
It's YOUR channel, post whatever music you like, or don't like, because you'd be surprised how many young people love this stuff but never knew because, like you, they'd never had a chance to hear it.
As for us older folks, it's cool to see you youngsters catching on to what we grew up with.
One of the best performances OF ALL TIME!! I NEVER get tired of this song. I’m glad you watched the version with the interview. Explains why there’s only 1 of them singing!!! 😊
Every time I watch this I feel not only a happiness, but also a sadness. Bobby was only 25 then and so, so handsome. It reminds me of how fleeting our youth really is.
That was incredibly sweet that you brought your baby up to slow dance to this song. That tells us all how touched by it you were. ❤
It doesn’t get any better than the righteous brothers!
The slow dance was the best part. ☺I love the Righteous Brothers. They have real talent. No lip syncing in those days.
Actually a lot of the TV performances were lip synced back then. The version that everyone watches of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is, too.
Shame they didn't know to do pottery together to this song :P
His voice brings me to tears, good memories.
I’m 68 and love your reactions. You are so sweet and kind
11:27 Somewhere in heaven, Bobby Hatfield is smiling brightly.
This cover of the song is the definitive version. Bobby just nails it. He was sick with a cold, too, at that, and still hit something like 93 different notes spot on! His parents were in the audience so he was nervous, to boot. I love the lip bite at the end like he knew he did it! What a vocal. I can't think of a better one. To hear more, you'll get a chance to see Bill Medley's deep vocals as counterpoint to Bobby's higher range. Bobby was a rare counter tenor. You've Lost that Loving Feeling is a good next one by them. :)
Great to see another generation appreciate the best music.
So sweet of him to admit he loves this!
The Bee gees voices will blow your mind
Thank you for playing this song. One of my favorites. I was 15 when The Righteous Brothers released it. I still get tears in my eyes when I hear it. RIP Bobby. What a voice!
Probably one of the greatest love songs ever sung. It was covered by MANY, MANY singers....including Elvis, but none could touch Bobby. That's why it's the one they used in "Ghost". Blue-eyed soul at it's finest.
You cant go wrong when you listen to great artist no matter what the genre is!!😊
Like watching young people hear these Beautiful old great Music 🙏🙏🙏
I'm watching your reaction along the way and seeing your very impressed and I am thinking, "this boy is in for a real awakening near the end of this song--just wait for it."
@@gregcable3250 😆😆🫶🥰
I couldn't WAIT for Bobby to hit those closing notes. Truly did not disappoint (Nor did MollyBoy!). This is THE definitive edition, too, imo.
You can't listen to this without chills, no matter what music you like or are "used to". This old lady loved your reaction.
You just witnessed the greatest live vocalist ever!!! Without any auto tune ! His mom was in the audience, he just wanted to do a good performance for her! I say he nailed it! Flawless 😎
Real passion touches your heart and spans all generations.
Such a joy to see a younger generation appreciate THIS ❤
I grew up with this music and it was wonderful to see someone as young as you, from a very different musical tradition, reacting to this. Bobby had a cold that night and was worried he wouldn’t hit the high note and yet he did so effortlessly. His mum was in the audience, adding an extra layer of apprehension. Such pure music: no lip sync, no autotune, no pitch correction, fabulous!
It's a classic! Should break all genre barriers!
Whoever suggested this good job, what a beautiful reaction 💕
When he mentioned his Gran in such a lovely way, I'm probably the same age (73). I danced to this at the clubs.
It must have been wonderful to have experienced this the first time round 💕
Next, watch the 2 of them sing "You've Got thet Lovin' Feeling". Sooooo good.
KittyCat, it's really quite the opposite, "You've LOST That Loving Feeling", but great suggestion nevertheless.
@@harrietthowever3351 Hi, Oh dear! You are so correct. Thanks for the update.
This is romance. This is pure talent. Imagine being loved this much?!
The appreciation in your face stated how good this musical talent was. Be grateful for having the experience. Thanks.
This was the slow dance before the drafted soldiers got shipped out to Vietnam. Gives the song much more meaning when you know that.
This was the song my wife and I used for our first dance at our wedding. Lots of memories every time I hear it.
I love watching the younger generation experience Bobby Hatfield. I'm only 35 myself but it's still great to watch everyone react to his awesomeness!
Your reaction to that performance... not just your 'reaction', but your desire to pull your gal in for a dance... priceless. There may yet be hope for your generation. ; )
Best music is from the 60's , 70's, and the 80's.
