Im sorry for your lost, Vietnam was a war USA started for no reason no body was threating USA just like Iraq, Iran, Korea, Lybia, Yugoslavia, USA has blood up to her neck.
I'm sitting outside the funeral home for my Dad's funeral listening because we sang this every week coming home from church when I was little. My Dad was a good man and I'll always have this memory.
Hold onto it as strong as you can. Always traumatic to lose someone close. Literally in your case, metaphorically in mine. Pain still hurts though. Rip to your lost one✌️
For what it's worth, lost my wife to cancer in March. This song pulls at my heart, I miss her terribly terribly. 33 years of ups and downs. Just found out I have cancer as well. Refused treatment, just want to go home. I need the pain to stop. God bless
I lost my husband to cancer in March also. We were together for 41 years. He was my life. I feel just like you. If I found out I had cancer, I would refuse treatment. I just don't want to live without him. God bless you, Robert
My husband and I were married over 50 years. He always said "Every time I hear Unchained Melody, I think of you." He was a wonderful man. I lost him to cancer Dec. 11, 2014.
+Kevin Casey ......cannot tell you that I know your pain but I feel the same way about this kind of music....God bless and never let those memories go!
+Kevin Casey So sorry to learn of your loss. Been there myself, so I have some idea of your pain, although we didn't even get 5 years. Please know that you're not alone.
This song just gives me the urge to hug my wife and tell her that I love her. She’s my best friend she helped me through the hardest part of my life. She sits next to me at dialysis and when I opened my eyes after having open heart surgery she was the first face I saw. And it made me feel like I was going to be ok. I love you Anita
Do it while you can Adam....No one is promised a tomorrow....Gather her in your arms and hold her close.....This is for all that can't...For us that time ran out...
Some of you younger kids need to educate yourselves on the timeless classics of astounding written lyrics matched with perfect melodies, not just found from some "movie" that has this listed in the soundtrack! I'm so grateful I was raised to appreciate these!
I"m 62 years old and have been alone for many years, but every time I hear this song I am taken back to those moments when I was still a young man and I kissed the love of my life for the first time...and the last time I kissed her. I lost her finally in 1982. I have always loved her. I always will. And that is enough. Those memories of her--of us-- will live in my heart until I breathe my last.
"so, however painful and tragic the end of this story became to, now you know that once upon a time, in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson had loved each other.”
This is my mother and fathers song,and tragically we lost him 7 yrs ago to suicide and every valentines day I play this song for her and hold her so close and remind her that he lives through me their son. Thank you everyone who took the time to read this.
I’m 79 & living in an assisted living facility( listen to this song every day!! Saw them in Concert twice & they were incredible! Unchained melody is one of my all time favorites! Hope to keep listening to this song til I get to the Pearly Gates & hope others enjoy it as much as I do so will listen to it there
It is. I don't think there's much argument on this point. There are more than 1,500 released recordings of this song by over 670 artists. If that doesn't prove the point, I don't know what does.
Bobby was doing this song " live" on the Andy Williams show in 1965, a live performance with no autotune, one take. What a god given voice bobby had. A very blessed individual. Any song that he sang, he put his own "spin" on it. He is dear l y missed after all these years, we are fortunate that we have the 🎶 to still listen too.
Well the masterpiece was the entire song and production. Certainly his vocal performance was magic, and in a class of its own, but it's best appreciated with that production and musicians backing it. I couldn't imagine that wonderful vocal being without it. That together, makes up the song we love.
My wife and I were dating when this song first came out and it quickly became our favorite song of all time. The Lord has Blessed our marriage now for more than 50 years and it is still our favorite song. After 50 years of marriage, I still light up inside every time she enters the room. Blessed, Thank You Jesus.
C Xpress Yes, I'm72 and they played at the Union Hall a block away in the 1960's when I was in High School in So.California. Wow ! where did those years go ? I married my h.s sweetheart in 1965 , he's passed 12 .5 yrs. ago and I have our memories and music. Thankful for those . God bless us all.
You'll be a god damn fossil too there laddie so don't toot your horn too loud hahaha. From a swimming little spermizoa to a fossil. That is ALL human life.
I'M TOUCHED!! YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE YOUR BELOVED MOTHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME AND FAITH!! TAKE CARE!! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONAL!!!! 😊
"once upon a time, in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson had loved eachother." - Flowers From 1970 bye m sobbing bye
An all time classic.They'll be playing this on RUclips and radio stations around the world in the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : )May 7th 2023.
There, you see? They always claimed that rock and roll would lead the younger generation astray and nobody ever believed me when I insisted that it was the Waltz that was evil. And I can't even dance...
This was my wedding song . This was the song my wife closed her eyes too and made her way to heaven to become a bright star in the sky, I miss you sue more than words can say ❤️
Hi Paul. We have the last same name. We are originally from Brooklyn by way Cork Ireland. This song brings me to tears. May your wife Rest In Peace. God bless Tom Desmond
This was my sister and brother-in-law’s first dance as husband and wife. I cry when I hear this because my sister passed away recently and brings those memories back. I love you so much sis, my heart is broken and my life is shattered. You are finally happy, free, and no more pain. RIP my beautiful sister.
Getting married on 10/28/23. We plan to have this song as our first dance. This song was always played for me growing up and I’m ecstatic that it’ll have a place on my wedding day.
Overwhelminglyanxious well done both of you !! You could not have chosen a better fitting song, maybe perhaps " a time for us" from West side story, which does a solo on that song and makes it his own. Congrates, be happy, long live to you both.
The love of my life passed away unexpectedly October 18, 2023 at home while I was at work. I'm lost, I just wat to go home. We had 34 years, and our hearts were one.
I am 67 and feel the same way Jay. Bobby Hatfield was one of THE most under-rated voices of all time. No one could touch him on a ballad/love song. Sad we lost him...
@@chrispraulent9036 Buy low, sell high. Makes you money every time. The trick to it is: money will never make you happy. Graveyards in Hollywood are full of sad millionaires.
Covered by more than 670 artists but this the the gold standard.. this masterpiece by the late great Bobby Hatfield says it all. I’m grateful to have been around back in the 60’s to hear it. I never get tired of hearing it.
This song is so emotional. I am young, married to the love of my life, have a beautiful family, contentment and great joy, and yet when I hear this song I feel sad. I can imagine being an old man looking back on life and just weeping because it’s in the past. If you’re reading this, grab those close to you and love them. Cherish every moment! This life is a vapor.
jfly888 I have not read many comments on RUclips that were so well crafted with words full of wisdom and insight on what life can give and eventually takes away, wish you well my friend.
Young man, your Wife is a very lucky lady, for you are wise beyond your years. This song, along with several others sung by the Righteous Brothers, were among my Husband's and my very favorites. I lost him four years ago, but I can still close my eyes, hear this music, and be taken back to those times, when we were dancing in each others arms, once again.
I'm 64 and Never had a love in my Life. EVERY time I hear this i imagine what it must be like to have someone to.feel that way about. I wish I could experience that before it's too late. I'm jealous of all of you; but, i am glad you got to experience that with another real, live person and not just a fantasy.
@@robertwhite8528 I understand what you're saying, but I don't know that what I've dealt with is better. I met this guy in middle school and we "went steady" for three years. We split up, each got married to others, had children and went through divorces. We then met up again and we were together for two and a half years. When I found out he was cheating on me, I split up with him again. The only problem was that, for me, he was the one. That was over thirty years ago and my heart still hurts. I dated others, but he was still it. Even though he's now deceased, I still love him. I always wanted a forever relationship. I didn't get it either.
@Desade that's a lovely memory! My parents song was First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. My Pops used to dance my mom around whenever it came on. I love that memory, too. God Bless!!!!
When we got married, years ago, this was the song at our wedding. My wife passed away in July from cancer, and listening to this song hurts, but in a good way. Loved ones leave, but love and a classic song like this endures.
Yes pawekwaitkowski, that film was done in 1990. They did use Bobby version the sound track, even though he did do that same song live on Andy Williams program in 1965. With no autotune, a one take performance. What a blessed individual with such a range of vocals. He was considered a tenor/contratenor. He is dearly missed.
My understanding they did not use the song from the 1965 live performance on Andy Williams show. Bobby did I believe a rrecording of this song in studio. They went with that, rather than using the live performance from 1965. However, Bobby was so blessed with such a voice, he is still dearly missed after all this years.
pawekwaitkowski7081 my understanding Bobby did do the soundtrack for the ghost movie, it was recorded in studio, did not use this live performance from 1965, from the Andy Williams show.
I lost my Mother to Cancer 5 years Ago she Was the only one in my entire family who understood my problems with Depression and Isolation after she died I had to live with my Dad and Stepmother Who didn't understand at All and sent me to group homes The rest of the family has emotionally abused and Isolated me from almost All other Family. SHE WAS MY TRUE MOTHER.
I lost mine two years ago December 8th. He was also 32. It's hard but it does get a little better with time. 32 us just too young.. I feel your pain. You're not alone. Stay strong..
I was 19 years old when Unchained Melody was released. Over the years I had 3 girlfriends who all wanted to make it "our song"! I'm now 77 and I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful song.
It’s a song that has transcended time. I don’t remember who originally made it and maybe it was the Righteous brothers, but I think it came out in the early 60’s. Does anyone have a date?
One of the greatest melodic songs of its period... and quite possibly one of the greatest melodic songs of all time! Long live the Righteous Brothers! 😊
Went to Nam in 67 hoped and prayed she would wait for me . In Nam 22 months and 11 days she sent me a letter everyday and she met when I stepped off the plane we were married in five days spent 31 years together before she went to heaven. Three beautiful children and 9 grand children. I will always miss you and need you someday soon.
My girl friend of a year was telling me how wonderful she found men in uniform !!! So in 1965 (age 17) I joined the Army and went to Vietnam !!! 13 months later when I returned she answered the door with her NEW boyfriend !!! She found out she was against the Vietnam war and was a peace loving hippy !!! Well, at least she waited until I got home !!! The best advice I can give you, DO what you think is best !!! The ONLY person that knows you and your situation best is YOU !!! Good luck brother !!!
My wife and I started dating when we were in high school. After graduation I joined the Corp and she went to college. We both wanted to get married but I was afraid of leaving a 18 year old widow with a child so we waited I am glad we did. She was a beautiful woman and she was as beautiful on the inside. I am glad we waited.
This whole comment section is just a rollercoaster of human emotions and humanity in general. There are still wholesome places on the internet. I hope all of you are getting by.
I agree. I hope you are all safe too. I hope that this pandemic brings us all closer and that people realise we all need each other. No man is ever an island. There's too much hatred, division, violence, poverty and war in the world. I hope we all come out the other end of this a better society/world with a better sense of community and communalism. There's so many people out there risking their lives for us all, not just the amazing health workers, but also the people that take our trash away, the postal workers, all those that stock shelves, make the food, distribute it, all those that help bring us electricity and water etc Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us daily, silently and bravely. Whether you believe in politics, no matter what your political affiliation, let's come out of this better, stronger & more aware of how interlinked we all are. Time to put away the world's swords and maybe build some ploughs and demand more authenticity from our societies, our politicians and and I hope we remain humane after this towards our fellow human beings, no matter what their colour, 'race', religion. We all bleed. We should all stand together for a better world for ALL of us. It makes me weep every time I hear someone has died, each life is precious, NOT a statistic, and I want to honour all their memories by helping to create a better world for future generations. Wow, sorry for the polemic...just feel emotional these days. Please all stay safe, take care of yourselves and those around you and thank all those who are performing miracles of kindness daily. I'm not religious, but if angels exist, you are amongst us and so thank you for all you do. Love to all. 💛🧡💜 And for anyone who has dared to abuse our doctors, nurses, carers - you are a disgrace to your community and country and the world you live in.
The love of my life passed away unexpedectly and tragically last may. He wouldve been 21 in march. we used to share our favourite oldies, and tell each other which ones reminded us of the other. this song feels so bittersweet now. i will forever miss you, my pretty boy. and oh, my darling, how ive hungered for your touch.
There's a story it was originally a poem written by a man in prison to his wife. I don't care if the story is true or not it makes this song greater for me.
Movie that this song was sung by Todd Duncan in 1955 was "Unchained" He sung it with just an acoustic guitar accompliament, in his operatic voice, to other prisoners in the movie.
I am 70 years old and remember dancing to this song in my living room when I was 7-8 years old. Does anyone who when it was written? We saw the Righteous Brother in concert many years ago and it was breathtaking. My husband and I have been married 48 years and our song is "Soul and Inspiration: by them.
How can a man sing like this? This is so etheral I cannot get my head round it.This has got to be one of the most outstanding vocal performances of all time.Love this and gives me chills every time.
"the flowers were you and me" "once upon a time in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson loved eachother" sorry for making you cry =)
This was my beautiful sister in laws/ best friends first wedding dance . Was also played at her funeral, she was only 24 when she passed. Just too good for this world ❤
I feel like crying, this world is too sad sometimes, I love this song infinitely and I too would like them to play it at my funeral, as well as at my wedding, because it's not a simple "song" but it's something that warms your soul and heart, is not inexplicable.❤️🩹🪽
My husband Rip.💖 Love, passed away February 8th, 2018 we were married 51years together 54years high school sweethearts since age of 15.😢, The Righteous Brothers music, was played at his memorial service. 😢.💔
Was the corvette in your profile pic his? It’s beautiful. The c3 corvette is my dream car and I hope to be driving one when I find my true love. Being 17 sucks because love feels so fragile and at my age and I’m always afraid of scaring off the one I love. This song gives me the hope and courage to take the risk.
@@draxthedestroyer1685 ,Yes this Corvette 74" stingray is the one in my profile picture, I keep it in storage, most likely it will go to our 1st Born, Granddaughter. Iam 70 years old, I tried to Drive it one time😕🚘 front end too long for me. So most likely she will inherit it, when I pass on. I have 15 grandkids and 7 great grandbabies ☺. She was our 1st. Grandchild, 1986. Born
@@draxthedestroyer1685 6/11/19 Stay positive, you will find the love of your life too, I did at age 15💚 I knew that he was the one, AND there will never be another. So hang in there, don't rush into any relationships, enjoy life, Godbless you.
I’m so sorry for your loss, but what beautiful 54 years those must’ve been ❤️bless you and your husband! I can only dream and hope to have what you guys had!
I was born in 1964, the year before this version was released by the Righteous Brothers. My mother had the vinyl record of this song and played it many times every day. She used to sing it to me and I would sing along with her. My parents have long since passed but whenever I hear this song on RUclips or the radio, I shed a tear in memory of my mother. This song is an all-time classic and will be around for centuries.
Tracey Ames I still have my Mum , she showed me this song when I was 10 years old and it’s now one of my favourites and it will always remind me of her ☺️
Tracey Ames, Its all right ,You go right ahead and shed that tear. Thats the memories that we have, that are sooo good,. We try to keep memories alive, cuz after they are gone, we have nothing. And not only with , this beautiful masterpiece of a song, but lots, and lots more that comes to mind, ,, helps us do that. i;ve lost my mom and dad, and buried my daughter 35 yrs ago. I have 'memories, rolling down my cheeks ,now. And ,oh how i wish it was different; i wouldn't change things. B cuz, God made things happen that way. God bless.
My grandpa passed away when I was 12 and this song reminds me so much of him :( it use to play all the times on the oldies station. I shed tears I have so many memories , I'm 29 now and still feels like yesterday. Its a timeless classic
My husband of 32 years passed away in August of 2022, I miss him so very much, he used to play this song for me to let me know how much he loved and needed me, my heart is so broken, I wish he would just come home
Man, so many people commenting about losing the love of their life and coming here to listen for comfort. I am sorry for ya'lls lost. God bless you all.
@@keithandmariemanhard6481 It is not feasible at age 79 that I will EVER find another love after being married 50 years when my husband died ...The amount and depth of my pain at losing him remains unchanged...It is a pain that over shadows ALL...The key word is lived thru the heart break...Not possible..
A song which has been covered by many fine artists, but never quite as well done by anyone else as The Righteous Brothers, imo. It just has that....something intangible... that strikes right thru you.
this is another tune that u can't imagine being sung by any other artist........ the feelings that are evoked are so powerful..... i equate this song with Roberta Flack's .. The First Time i Ever Saw Your Face. these songs will still be as powerful a hundred years from now....... .. ... every listen gets better with age.
What a blessing to be a young man in the 70"s. The music that came out of that era will never, ever be topped. It seems like each and everyday a new great song was released. Songs like this one are great because they have without a shadow of a doubt stood the test of time.
I remember giving my great grandma my walkman in the 80s with this song on and she cried thinking of her husband, I'll never forget that, I never saw her cry 😢 💔 rip 🙏
I was married to my wife for 44 years. She passed away on Aug 28, 2021. This song expresses perfectly my thoughts and emotions. I long for her touch. To see her face. To hear her voice. To feel her loving embrace. I am so lonely it hurts.
My soon to be husband sang this to me over the phone, he was in Florida, I was in Texas. He drove 1000 miles to marry me and take me back to Florida. That was 16 years ago, he passed away in April, 2019. This beautiful song breaks my heart, but brings back such beautiful memories. I love you my darling husband, you are gone too soon.
I don't know why, but I just can't help but tear up every single time I hear this song🎶...🥺 His voice and the range of sounds that come out of that man's mouth are just so extraordinary. It's unfortunate my generation doesn't have a singer-songwriter, nearly as gifted and moving as the Righteous Brothers were. Especially this #1 hit!
Hello my friend, I was browsing through the comment sections and I came across your comment, I must confess that you are very beautiful and this is me being honest, I don’t know the best words to use in describing your incredible good looks, from the bottom of my heart i would love to be your very good friend, someone you can talk to get to know each other very well and better, can we communicate privately on WhatsApp, I am waiting to hear from you
I just wish this song was a little bit longer. One of the things that I love about this song is that Bobby does not rush through it. He takes his time as though he is savoring it himself. Thanks Bobby. We savor it as well.
The Righteous Brothers were PHENOMENAL!! this song will forever be played and loved! It's one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL songs ever recorded!!💫💯💫💜💜👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I just can't with this song. I've heard it many many times but I've become almost obsessed with it as of late. It has never sounded this profoundly beautiful to me as it does now. I'm in love with his voice.
FuzzleLand Sounds stupid and it is stupid, it is proven a too, put a lot on the radio, bang merciless people's ears and it will sell itself.... that is how its works. First they started to put on the radio "the ten top hits" because people liked that song or album and thus got to the top, but soon they realized that that was no needed, just put it again and again and say is the top ten this week and .... Bingo!! The price? the price music is gone... but who cares... We are making tons of money form those idiot sheeps Isn*t?
Pfuh... this one goes straight to the heart. I'm younger than most here in the comment section and this song is from way before my time, but I've loved too. And intensely. Big hug to all of you.
can we just appreciate without any sad quotes, that even as time goes on. the things we love will always find a way to connect to the past as long as there is love, there is history

I hope time has healed a bit. You'll be singing with him again soon. Hold on to Jesus..
It's a lovely song

Absolutely
Too right Mike. The Righteous Brothers had no equal
Your opinion was worth it
Mike May fr 😍
It is. I don't think there's much argument on this point.
There are more than 1,500 released recordings of this song by over 670 artists. If that doesn't prove the point, I don't know what does.
My dad was openly weeping listening to this song, it really touched him in a deep way.
Rest in peace dad, we think about you everyday.
Your pops had amazing taste
Wow. I know he's resting peacefully away from this crazy world. Until we all meet our loved ones again, let us live with them through music. 💛🥺🙏🏽
I do as well,after a few beers,your dad is not alone ❤🇿🇦
My Old girl loved her some Elvis......Her mood would change when......in a calm way......Now I Understand how she Felt....
Don't trust ANYONE that doesn't cry listening to this song. May he rest in peace
Imagine being in the studio and witnessing this masterpiece being performed.
Fun fact: Only one of the Righteous Brothers (Bobby Hatfield) sings on the record.
@@ArizonaJoeHinesthanks captain obvious
Bobby was doing this song " live" on the Andy Williams show in 1965, a live performance with no autotune, one take. What a god given voice bobby had. A very blessed individual.

Well the masterpiece was the entire song and production. Certainly his vocal performance was magic, and in a class of its own, but it's best appreciated with that production and musicians backing it. I couldn't imagine that wonderful vocal being without it. That together, makes up the song we love.
THIS SONG HAS SUMMONED A WHOLE FANDOM, HELLO TO THE BROKEN HEARTED
Hi Im in pain :")
Im not crying you are 🙂
I'M CRYING
I will never recover
I've just been cut so hard. Just like the telephone-🥲
My wife and I were dating when this song first came out and it quickly became our favorite song of all time. The Lord has Blessed our marriage now for more than 50 years and it is still our favorite song. After 50 years of marriage, I still light up inside every time she enters the room. Blessed, Thank You Jesus.
God bless you both!!
this is what i like to hear/ read thanks for sharing.

Our wedding song… I was 19 and he was 26. 32 years later here we are, and this song still gives me goosebumps.
First waltz at 14 with my 17 year old boyfriend who eventually became my husband. We celebrate 47 years of marriage this year . 💕

Congratulations hope i can say the same when i get that age

There, you see? They always claimed that rock and roll would lead the younger generation astray and nobody ever believed me when I insisted that it was the Waltz that was evil. And I can't even dance...

Couldn't ask for a better first dance
I married yesterday, 28th of October, and this was our first dance song too
Congratulations

Can you weirdo generation make sense? Thanks
I’m 68 now. As soon as the first melody starts my eyes are wet thinking about all of those years that seemed to have just flown by in an instant.
I'm 30 and I feel the same.. time just slips through your hands.
I am 67 and feel the same way Jay. Bobby Hatfield was one of THE most under-rated voices of all time. No one could touch him on a ballad/love song. Sad we lost him...
What would you say is one important life lesson for the younger?
@@chrispraulent9036 Buy low, sell high. Makes you money every time. The trick to it is: money will never make you happy. Graveyards in Hollywood are full of sad millionaires.

Covered by more than 670 artists but this the the gold standard.. this masterpiece by the late great Bobby Hatfield says it all. I’m grateful to have been around back in the 60’s to hear it. I never get tired of hearing it.
I know right?
This song is so emotional. I am young, married to the love of my life, have a beautiful family, contentment and great joy, and yet when I hear this song I feel sad. I can imagine being an old man looking back on life and just weeping because it’s in the past. If you’re reading this, grab those close to you and love them. Cherish every moment! This life is a vapor.
So true
😭💕
jfly888 I have not read many comments on RUclips that were so well crafted with words full of wisdom and insight on what life can give and eventually takes away, wish you well my friend.
Young man, your Wife is a very lucky lady, for you are wise beyond your years. This song, along with several others sung by the Righteous Brothers, were among my Husband's and my very favorites. I lost him four years ago, but I can still close my eyes, hear this music, and be taken back to those times, when we were dancing in each others arms, once again.
“This life is a vapor”
To everyone in the comments who heard this song and remembers someone they loved (like me), I pray you find peace and comfort. Blessings.
I'm 64 and Never had a love in my Life. EVERY time I hear this i imagine what it must be like to have someone to.feel that way about. I wish I could experience that before it's too late. I'm jealous of all of you; but, i am glad you got to experience that with another real, live person and not just a fantasy.
Me right now. Looking for songs for my grandmas funeral slide show. I’m bawling to this song.
@@LetySanchezTx I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
@@robertwhite8528 I understand what you're saying, but I don't know that what I've dealt with is better. I met this guy in middle school and we "went steady" for three years. We split up, each got married to others, had children and went through divorces. We then met up again and we were together for two and a half years. When I found out he was cheating on me, I split up with him again. The only problem was that, for me, he was the one. That was over thirty years ago and my heart still hurts. I dated others, but he was still it. Even though he's now deceased, I still love him. I always wanted a forever relationship. I didn't get it either.
@Desade that's a lovely memory! My parents song was First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. My Pops used to dance my mom around whenever it came on. I love that memory, too. God Bless!!!!
When we got married, years ago, this was the song at our wedding. My wife passed away in July from cancer, and listening to this song hurts, but in a good way. Loved ones leave, but love and a classic song like this endures.

Yes pawekwaitkowski, that film was done in 1990. They did use Bobby version the sound track, even though he did do that same song live on Andy Williams program in 1965. With no autotune, a one take performance. What a blessed individual with such a range of vocals. He was considered a tenor/contratenor. He is dearly missed.
Leider hat Bobby von dem Film kein Geld abbekommen.
Sicher ärgerlich für ihn.
My understanding they did not use the song from the 1965 live performance on Andy Williams show. Bobby did I believe a rrecording of this song in studio. They went with that, rather than using the live performance from 1965. However, Bobby was so blessed with such a voice, he is still dearly missed after all this years.
pawekwaitkowski7081 my understanding Bobby did do the soundtrack for the ghost movie, it was recorded in studio, did not use this live performance from 1965, from the Andy Williams show.
I lost my fiance last month, she was only 30. This was one of our songs, I listen to it nearly everyday and think of her.

I lost mine two years ago December 8th. He was also 32. It's hard but it does get a little better with time. 32 us just too young.. I feel your pain. You're not alone. Stay strong..
This was our wedding song in July 1967. Still get teary-eyed when WE still both still listen to it.
What a great song to have for such a wonderful memory!
That's so sweet. I hope you both stay happy and healthy throughout this pandemic. X
Happy 53rd to you both.
This was our going away song at our Wedding in 1990..Our 1st dance was "Can't help falling in love with you"
I think this is the most beautiful song ever recorded.
Ever since i first heard this song when i was a little girl, i said i want it to be the one i dance to at my wedding.
I agree
really is
agreed, and I am so glad the movie Ghost brought it back!!!!
I so agree with you.
I was 19 years old when Unchained Melody was released. Over the years I had 3 girlfriends who all wanted to make it "our song"! I'm now 77 and I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful song.
Grew up with this song in the 60’s. Proposed to my wife after it in 1978. We’ve been married 43 years.
Oh wow! Congrats
Me and my husband's song too.
Me and my wife’s wedding song.
Very beautiful
It’s a song that has transcended time. I don’t remember who originally made it and maybe it was the Righteous brothers, but I think it came out in the early 60’s. Does anyone have a date?

Went to Nam in 67 hoped and prayed she would wait for me . In Nam 22 months and 11 days she sent me a letter everyday and she met when I stepped off the plane we were married in five days spent 31 years together before she went to heaven. Three beautiful children and 9 grand children. I will always miss you and need you someday soon.
Epitome of love.
Beautiful sir. Thank you for your service.
My girl friend of a year was telling me how wonderful she found men in uniform !!! So in 1965 (age 17) I joined the Army and went to Vietnam !!! 13 months later when I returned she answered the door with her NEW boyfriend !!! She found out she was against the Vietnam war and was a peace loving hippy !!! Well, at least she waited until I got home !!! The best advice I can give you, DO what you think is best !!! The ONLY person that knows you and your situation best is YOU !!! Good luck brother !!!
My wife and I started dating when we were in high school. After graduation I joined the Corp and she went to college. We both wanted to get married but I was afraid of leaving a 18 year old widow with a child so we waited I am glad we did. She was a beautiful woman and she was as beautiful on the inside. I am glad we waited.

I agree. I hope you are all safe too. I hope that this pandemic brings us all closer and that people realise we all need each other. No man is ever an island. There's too much hatred, division, violence, poverty and war in the world. I hope we all come out the other end of this a better society/world with a better sense of community and communalism. There's so many people out there risking their lives for us all, not just the amazing health workers, but also the people that take our trash away, the postal workers, all those that stock shelves, make the food, distribute it, all those that help bring us electricity and water etc Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us daily, silently and bravely. Whether you believe in politics, no matter what your political affiliation, let's come out of this better, stronger & more aware of how interlinked we all are. Time to put away the world's swords and maybe build some ploughs and demand more authenticity from our societies, our politicians and and I hope we remain humane after this towards our fellow human beings, no matter what their colour, 'race', religion. We all bleed. We should all stand together for a better world for ALL of us. It makes me weep every time I hear someone has died, each life is precious, NOT a statistic, and I want to honour all their memories by helping to create a better world for future generations. Wow, sorry for the polemic...just feel emotional these days. Please all stay safe, take care of yourselves and those around you and thank all those who are performing miracles of kindness daily. I'm not religious, but if angels exist, you are amongst us and so thank you for all you do. Love to all. 💛🧡💜 And for anyone who has dared to abuse our doctors, nurses, carers - you are a disgrace to your community and country and the world you live in.
The love of my life passed away unexpedectly and tragically last may. He wouldve been 21 in march. we used to share our favourite oldies, and tell each other which ones reminded us of the other. this song feels so bittersweet now. i will forever miss you, my pretty boy. and oh, my darling, how ive hungered for your touch.
So sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing well and strong through your loss 😢

i just finished reading the story for the first time and i am HEARTBROKEN
:(
*screams*
What’s story?
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
There's a story it was originally a poem written by a man in prison to his wife. I don't care if the story is true or not it makes this song greater for me.
Agreed
It was actually a theme song for a movie.
amen to that
Movie that this song was sung by Todd Duncan in 1955 was "Unchained"
He sung it with just an acoustic guitar accompliament, in his operatic voice, to other prisoners in the movie.
I am 70 years old and remember dancing to this song in my living room when I was 7-8 years old. Does anyone who when it was written? We saw the Righteous Brother in concert many years ago and it was breathtaking. My husband and I have been married 48 years and our song is "Soul and Inspiration: by them.
amazing history, congratulations!! i am jelousy because i will never live the amazing music era like 60's.
1955 from the movie unchained.......hundreds of versions.....
I believe that Al Hibler recorded this song in 1955
Grandmother used my youtube account
Wyatt, I am 78 and was 15 when this song came out ..came out in the movie 'Unchained', about a convict in for life.
How can a man sing like this? This is so etheral I cannot get my head round it.This has got to be one of the most outstanding vocal performances of all time.Love this and gives me chills every time.
"the flowers were you and me" "once upon a time in the same room, of the same house, fifty years apart, clay and george davidson loved eachother" sorry for making you cry =)

I was born in 1964, the year before this version was released by the Righteous Brothers. My mother had the vinyl record of this song and played it many times every day. She used to sing it to me and I would sing along with her. My parents have long since passed but whenever I hear this song on RUclips or the radio, I shed a tear in memory of my mother. This song is an all-time classic and will be around for centuries.
Tracey Ames I still have my Mum , she showed me this song when I was 10 years old and it’s now one of my favourites and it will always remind me of her ☺️
Tracey Ames, Its all right ,You go right ahead and shed that tear. Thats the memories that we have, that are sooo good,. We try to keep memories alive, cuz after they are gone, we have nothing. And not only with , this beautiful masterpiece of a song, but lots, and lots more that comes to mind, ,, helps us do that. i;ve lost my mom and dad, and buried my daughter 35 yrs ago. I have 'memories, rolling down my cheeks ,now. And ,oh how i wish it was different; i wouldn't change things. B cuz, God made things happen that way. God bless.
My grandpa passed away when I was 12 and this song reminds me so much of him :( it use to play all the times on the oldies station. I shed tears I have so many memories , I'm 29 now and still feels like yesterday. Its a timeless classic

Thank you
don't be sorry for our lost loves be happy if you have found love and lived through the heartbreak to love yet again!
@@keithandmariemanhard6481 It is not feasible at age 79 that I will EVER find another love after being married 50 years when my husband died ...The amount and depth of my pain at losing him remains unchanged...It is a pain that over shadows ALL...The key word is lived thru the heart break...Not possible..
amen
I know. These comments got me teary eyed. Either lost loved one or someone married for 50 years to this song.
A song which has been covered by many fine artists, but never quite as well done by anyone else as The Righteous Brothers, imo. It just has that....something intangible... that strikes right thru you.
The Righteous Brothers' version has "soul."
the reference to time and ill be coming home is that it is from an awful prison movie with the only good thing about it being this theme song.
this is another tune that u can't imagine being sung by any other artist........ the feelings that are evoked are so powerful..... i equate this song with Roberta Flack's .. The First Time i Ever Saw Your Face.
these songs will still be as powerful a hundred years from now....... .. ... every listen gets better with age.
No argument from me on this!
Yeah, but that Johnny Cash version of First Time that's a pretty good version . Love Flack's too.
What a blessing to be a young man in the 70"s. The music that came out of that era will never, ever be topped. It seems like each and everyday a new great song was released. Songs like this one are great because they have without a shadow of a doubt stood the test of time.
Absolutely and very well said 💞
It was written in 1955 for a prison movie named Unchained (hence the title). But the Righteous Brothers sang it in 1965.
I remember giving my great grandma my walkman in the 80s with this song on and she cried thinking of her husband, I'll never forget that, I never saw her cry 😢 💔 rip 🙏

I was married to my wife for 44 years. She passed away on Aug 28, 2021. This song expresses perfectly my thoughts and emotions. I long for her touch. To see her face. To hear her voice. To feel her loving embrace. I am so lonely it hurts.
I know the feeling & can relate to what you say. Where do you live?
Mine passed in 2014 and I still feel the pain.
Must have been an amazing person and an amazing relationship.
I hope you get to meet again someday.
God bless You man, with company of the song I got tears in my eyes
Be comforted, knowing God is with you!
This song brought my husband & I back together after a divorce, we remarried and love each other more everyday. This song touch's my heart deeply.
Hello dear friend, how are you doing over there?
Happy 4 u, congrats 👏
I wish you two infinite amounts of blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to hear your story.
let's fucking go Karen, good shit
My soon to be husband sang this to me over the phone, he was in Florida, I was in Texas. He drove 1000 miles to marry me and take me back to Florida. That was 16 years ago, he passed away in April, 2019. This beautiful song breaks my heart, but brings back such beautiful memories. I love you my darling husband, you are gone too soon.
Very romantic memory to cherish forever. Godspeed.
Sorry to hear that rose. May he rest in peace.
With a heart like THAT your husband is surely in Heaven now. God bless you. What a beautiful memory you have.
I wish you well
❤️
I don't know why, but I just can't help but tear up every single time I hear this song🎶...🥺 His voice and the range of sounds that come out of that man's mouth are just so extraordinary. It's unfortunate my generation doesn't have a singer-songwriter, nearly as gifted and moving as the Righteous Brothers were. Especially this #1 hit!
Good to hear I'm not the only one.
Hello my friend,
I was browsing through the comment sections and I came across your comment, I must confess that you are very beautiful and this is me being honest, I don’t know the best words to use in describing your incredible good looks, from the bottom of my heart i would love to be your very good friend, someone you can talk to get to know each other very well and better, can we communicate privately on WhatsApp, I am waiting to hear from you
I just wish this song was a little bit longer. One of the things that I love about this song is that Bobby does not rush through it. He takes his time as though he is savoring it himself. Thanks Bobby. We savor it as well.
The Righteous Brothers were PHENOMENAL!! this song will forever be played and loved! It's one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL songs ever recorded!!💫💯💫💜💜👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The beauty of this song is beyond anything. You just cannot describe how marvelous this masterpiece is.

Taylor Swift is pretty good
Cescorage I have not heard it.
+Cescorage Sam Cooke is 100000x better
Bobby Hatfield was simply divine/ magnificent voice!!!!
This song sung by the Righteous Brothers will go on to eternity as the most romantic expression of love.❤❤❤
Fantastic performance.Will never be equalled by anyone.
I just can't with this song. I've heard it many many times but I've become almost obsessed with it as of late. It has never sounded this profoundly beautiful to me as it does now. I'm in love with his voice.
It's a beautiful and comforting during these harsh times♡
Agree... once in a life time voice put to a song.
Im in love with his voice too.
Your so beautiful 😍 💯
I love when they sing GOD SPEED YOUR LOVE TO ME
i can literally feel my husband slow dancing with me everytime i hear this song and he passed away 7 years ago.....
Mine has been gone since 1999, know what you mean.
I am so sorry for your loss
Blessings to you both.
thank you, blessings to you also....

Probably the most impressive things I've heard with the natural voice. Where is this kind of music today?
FuzzleLand Music today is crap. Today its rap crap, or pop bull shit. Today its about money, looks, and fame, with no talent.
jason75 but why in the hell is it famous? We have to be buying into it to make it so, so where is the inoculation for that disease?
FuzzleLand No where, gone... and very much missed
FuzzleLand
Exactly. Sad

Sounds stupid and it is stupid, it is proven a too, put a lot on the radio, bang merciless people's ears and it will sell itself.... that is how its works. First they started to put on the radio "the ten top hits" because people liked that song or album and thus got to the top, but soon they realized that that was no needed, just put it again and again and say is the top ten this week and .... Bingo!!
The price? the price music is gone... but who cares... We are making tons of money form those idiot sheeps Isn*t?
The single Greatest love song ever written
Оооо даааа❤💓💞💗💖❤️❣️💕😇👍👍👍

Have you ever wanted to hug a whole comment section.
🤗
Luke, 6 feet man, 6 feet. What the hell. Just one.
you are sweet
THIS. THIS COMMENT.
I could use that hug now
Pfuh... this one goes straight to the heart. I'm younger than most here in the comment section and this song is from way before my time, but I've loved too. And intensely. Big hug to all of you.
So now you know, once upon a time,
in the same room,
of the same house,
Fifty years apart,
Clay and George Davidson had loved each other
Fun fact:I didn't cry reading this fanfic 😕

as long as there is love, there is history
