Were all American brothers and sisters
look up Whitney Houstons first tv performance ever....song is "Home"
Her National Anthem at the Super Bowl was memorable. Cried
I so enjoy a new generation finding the soul of my generations music. Bobby Hatfield was an amazing talent. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe. ❤😊
Bobby Hatfield baby!!
No autotune? Welcome to the 60's and 70's. Only requirement? Talent!
I'm a Black American (not Afro-American!), 82 years old and this music is my time. It was also the time of JFK, of MLK, and the time my son fell in love with the white girl next door... it was a good time. I never felt oppressed, never excluded and I only knew racism from television. Blue Eye Soul, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Billie Holiday, Righteous Brothers, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder...that's music. This is soul. This is life. I miss the 50's, 60's and 70's. Today I don't even like to turn on my radio and on TV I see people who no longer know what they are and ask me what I identify as. I am a black man who had a good and free life in Alabama. I'm a proud American living at peace with my neighbors. God save America!
Amen!!
Thank you Sir!
God bless you Sir.
I am a 57-year-old man living with stage four lung cancer. And I am very proud of what you just said sir. Have a blessed life.
@@lanceandmelanierogers6255 Fight! Every minute is worth living. Every pain says you are alive. It is hard, it is painful, it is scary, it is challenging ... it is life. Wishing you and your family all the best. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a healer, I'm a simple black guy but I know that every moment, even the painful ones, are worth it. I'm not just a black guy ... I am a heavy smoker. I have been smoking since I was 14 years old. Not less than 3 packs a day I smoke ... and about 3 weeks ago I bought a new bike. Life hurts ... but it is worth it.
Nobody can sing this song like bobby, nobody.
R.I.P. bobby 😢
Your voice live on.
❤❤❤❤
People will still listen to this in 1000 years. Pure perfection
He was feeling poorly that day but his Mom & fiancee were in the audience so he went on & gave one of the best live TV performances ever.
I’m so incredibly blessed to be a Boomer! We had the best music EVER, and I doubt anyone would disagree with that. Golden age, baby, golden age!! 😂
Completely agree. I'm also a boomer and today's music doesn't hold a candle and will not stand the test of time like ours does.
He just sang so effortless..pure and clean..perfection..
If you don't get chills you are dead inside
Going on 80 and Bobby still makes me cry 😢 just like in 1965. Love your reaction ❤ this is slow dancing at its best. So glad I grew up when I did. RIP SWEETHEART 🎉 ❤
I love this track, but what I really love is seeing your smile as you listened to this absolutely amazing singer from another era. Music has the power to lift us out of everyday life into a better place. It can lift out souls. ❤
71 yr. old white woman...this was the best music to grow up with. One of my favorite all time songs is Otis Redding "Sitting On The Dock of the Bay".
Me too, used to lie on my bedroom floor listening to my Otis Redding LP drifting away to some foreign shore, bliss, thanks Anita for the memories. Love from the UK
Classic ❤
Ah, me too, 17, having the time of my life.
LOVED that song!!!!
Love that Otis Redding song. I was a mere teenager when it came out now a 73 year old . Still enjoy music and love watching a new generation enjoying the music from back then.
Memories, memories, memories ..❤
My wife walked down the aisle to this very song. When I eventually looked into her eyes it was like the proverbial cherry on top. Whenever we collide, like all couples do, the memory of her angelic face on that special day, assures me of my decision to ask her for her hand. She's still my favorite person on earth. Thank you for this lovely reaction video. IMHO, you really get it. You made my day. You certainly deserve my subscription.
The blending of genres in this song makes it so powerful! It combines soul, opera, pop, rock and easy listening.
My husband and I had been separated for several months and this song came on the radio on my way to go pick him up. I was driving with tears running down my face. Anyone who isn’t moved by this gorgeous work of art might wanna check their own pulse because you’re probably dead.
Wishing you all the best 😊
Yes. There have been different singers doing this sound over the years. But for me and many others this is the best version.
No one does this song like Bobby. He does it effortlessly. His mom was in the audience.
I really wish you’d let go of the twirling device in the background. It’s so distracting.
Best song ever! ❤❤❤
And that was live on TV. He made it look so effortless and natural. He was one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
And it was recorded at a TV live performance with his mom in the audience. Pure talent.
Definitely the "turn the lights off, slow dance" song of the 60s.
These guys have been my favorites for many years. But I want to let you Know, you've got such an Amazing voice
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is another wonderful song where the harmonies are just glorious.
To this day, this version of Unchained Melody is my 89 yr old father’s favorite. He said he heard it on the radio when he was in Korea during the war. I will always think of my dad when I hear it. Definitely haunting. ❤
I'm almost 70 a white woman and grew up with so great music that you're discovering. I like so many kinds of music. If you can dance to it, that's even better.
Bobby Hatfield epitomised Blue Eyed Soul. This performance is iconic and one of the best live performances of all time.
I am a Black American Man that just turned 50. I love , love , this song. I'm glad you were able to feel the joy I've always felt listening to him sing his heart out.
Perfect pitch and every word clear
Bobby Hatfield had the best vocal talent in the world in my opinion. His range up and down the scale was effortless, remember this is a live performance and it was flawless. My all time favorite song and performance. Love love love ❤️
Just pure talent!
Imagine this being the STANDARD for talent or to get on TV. Those days are long gone.
If you couldn't sing in tune and well then, you had to go home to sing in your shower.
There were few channels and you needed to be truly talented to have any chance of getting famous.
These days it is actually hard for real talent to get noticed in among all the noise and plastic corporate copy/paste.
@@kathleenmayhorne3183 LOL
I not only got chills listening to this, but I have watched many people react to it because I love sharing it with others. This was definitely not auto-tune or pre-recorded, because he even changed it up a little from the original. I like this version just a little better. Another baby boomer here. And as others probably have already said, this song was written in the 50's I believe. It transcends time.
My favorite male singer of all time, the late, great Bobby Hatfield.
One of my favorites thanks
‘No autotune, no riff raff, just pure talent’ plus dramatic or put upon facial expressions of ‘look how hard I’m working’
Riff raff😂 great comment 👍
What an incredible talent? This song always makes me cry. Bobby was the greatest .
It has been a pleasure to watch and listen to you discovering all the wonderful music from back in the day. I’m a 73 year old white woman. I grew up with all this wonderful music. The Righteous Brothers were what they called Blue Eyed Soul. I guess that term wouldn’t go over very well in today’s world; but you know what? Great music is great music for all of us to enjoy and it knows no color. Thank you so much for your channel.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song! Haven't heard it in forever. Thankyou Polo.
Yes, he does have pipes on him. And he's so talented that he isn't even straining when he sings. Amazing song.
Past tense😢Bobby passed over in 2003. RIP🌈🙏
The no straining is what gets me! He was amazing!
And he was very nervous his parents were in the crowd for the first time hearing him live.
So beautiful. Thank you Bobby Hatfield! RIP, you will always be loved and remembered ❤
A lot of people fell in love with each other while dancing to this song. Many were going to Viet Nam.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A priceless experience hearing it❤
The singers were in a black bar one night singing and a man in the audience stood up and said, "That was Righteous Brothers." That's where they took their name from.
This was my time growing up (I'm 73) and I've heard several people compare Sam Cooke and Bobby Hatfield like you did. Bobby's voice was off the charts. This was his song and NO ONE else should be allowed to attempt this one after he sung it
Bobby Hatfield is amazing.
The mot romantic hearfelt song of my teen years.
Bobby hatfield was 23 when he sung this song and was nervous as his parents were in the audience
I love watching the enjoyment flicker across your face.
Back then they used to call it "blue-eyed soul". The 60s and 60s were the best for music. We had the best Motown sounds in the 60s as well. Wonderful music back then.
Polo ! I am a 60 year old Irish woman. I grew up in the 70's so I grew up listening to 1970's artists obviously which I still love, but I was also introduced to 1950' and 1960's artists at a very early age through my parents, so you could say I grew up with the lot. And believe it or not listening to somec1940's music. We were not a musical family in the sense of playing instruments or singing ourselves, but we definitely loved music. Iidrened to your own comments about the Righteous brothers and this particular song, unchained melody. You said you were listening to lyrics and I could definitely see that. Some people would say it's my age and and say it about others of my own generation, but definitely the old songs are the best I was telling my nephew that years ago you had to prove yourself a good singer before you were allowed up on a stage and a good song writer. Now a days I feel if your just a good looking fella or young one as we say about the girls here in Ireland, and cab shout a bit with a half decent voice, they'll make you a singer. And a lot of them rely on the older singers songs or songs of the past to get them through. The days of good song writing have long since gone. I personally think that stopped in rhe 1980's and the early part at that. And when there was a musical film out, something like the lion King, they still had to rely on older singers to write the songs. ( real music and real singers) I think are well and truely gone. I might be hated for saying that or considered mad, but that's my take on it.
I listened to your own comments, that should read
This song is kryptonite for the ladies, and probably always will be.
Notice how effortless it seemed to him. He didn’t even have to catch his breath after the final note. Truly amazing!
And he is so unassuming. There is no "look at me" and "how great I am".
I've seen him do that run, but this time I just listened .You're right, Arthur. It does look effortless, and it sounds effortless. And Yes! that final note.! : ) Cheers!
As teens at dances the girls would hold you tighter as you danced to this. Then in Nam it became an anthem of coming home.... "Wait for me!"
Love, love, love this masterpiece!!
No auto tune needed> Just pure natural talent, which he had
I think some of the newer artist use autotune for their music. I grew up in the 80s is just raw talent
I am loving these tunes you’re spinning now!! I still know all the words to so many of these songs you’ve been playing, after all these years. I was in high school when these tunes were playing on the radio. You’ve taken me back in years to a time that was much different from current times and filled with wonderful memories. Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️
This is regarded as one of greatest , if not THE greatest, live performance of all time.
That smile you got Polo... hadn't seen that before...great reaction ty
When Bobby bites his lip at the end because he knew he nailed it always gets me when I watch the live version. it's so cute 🥰
The lip bite was a nervous habit he had.
@@Aurora-tp3dy If I remember right, he was extra nervous because his parents were in the audience.
It's because he had a cold (can you believe that!?!?) and his mom was in the audience. He said he was nervous because he wanted to do his best for her, and at the end he knew that he'd nailed it. And this is live with no auto-tune on old technology. Hatfield was a freakin' amazing singer!
When Bobby bites his lip, I melt
This gave me chills when I was a kid and at 71, still does. He sang so effortlessly but it was mind blowing perfection.
My brother John (RIP) became friends with Bobby Hatfield when he use to come and hang at the bar my brother was bartending at the Hilton in Atlantic City. Bobby would hang at the bar after performances at the casino. They became such friends that the would go out to local bars together doing karaoke. RIP Bobby too
I am 73 and this is my favorite song of all.
The awesome Bobby Hatfield's solo! I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song. His voice is awesome! No auto tunes, pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! We miss your beautiful voice! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
I saw the righteous brother n Dayton Ohio n 1965 I was 15. I had my picture taken with them. It's the best memory I've got . Luv them ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
This is Bobby Hatfield, one half of the group. Bill Medley is the other half and he sat out on this song. They are credited with creating the “blue eyed soul” genre. A great performance. His mother was in the audience and he was a little nervous. No autotune, so true. You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling is their biggest hit, a must listen.
Plus crippling stage fright to begin with. Great comment
Teachers pet
And LIVE....no studio overdubbing here.
My mom LOVED them. Idk if true or not but she said they were at a place with a bunch of groups singing and a member of a black R&B soul group said "Man, that's some righteous singing right there!"...and that's how they got the name Righteous Brothers
Edit: Pitch correction (commonly referred to as Auto Tune) was rarely ever used before Cher's song "Believe" released in 98 became a huge hit and it was known as the "Cher effect". Afterwards, it was greatly overused for its original purpose...pitch correction. So...it's a fairly new thing of the past 25 or so yrs
A radio disc jockey in Philadelphia actually coined the term "blue eyed soul" in reference to them.
Love it ❤❤❤
Saw them in concert
So romantic 🌹
When you went "Oooh" and made that appreciation face when Bobby hit his first "are you still mine?" I really smiled, because all I could think was "Wait for it."
me too, and I turn the sound up for the last bit
I was exactly thinking that too…”just wait” haha. Tingles. ❤🎉
I always tag You ain't heard nothing yet! to the end of that thought. Lol
Enjoy your reactions so much.
You've Lost That Loving Feeling has both men singing and is another gorgeous classic by them.
Yes! Listen to YOU LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELING. Please.❤
I was born a year before this performance. My parents met because of their love of the Righteous Brothers. I’m so glad this performance was put on RUclips and that you’ve reacted to it. It’s easily one of the top 5 live performances imho. Bobby had the voice of an angel and we were blessed to have heard it.
I'm a 70 year old great grandmother and I will forever say that my generation had the best music!!!!!!
Me too! 70 years also. Brings a tear to my eyes every time.
Agreed, 1000% 👍👍👍
Agree, the absolute best music!!!
Listen to TOOL 😊
Me too Anne. I'm 72 & that is my favorite song of all time. It transports me back to my teens any time I hear it. What a special voice Bobby Hatfield had. I've heard covers but non compares to him.
One of the finest male voices in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.
His parents were in the audience and this was the first time they saw his performance...He was very nervous at first but ...he was a professional.
Perfection........... Peace out........
OMG you are a lovely man to listen to all of these white singers and bands that I grew up with. You rock Polo.
I have yet (I was born in 1963) to hear a man that can sing like this before or after him! He was nothing short of amazing and always will be.....the bar has been raised by him and will likely not be surpassed.
This is the best version of unchained melody ever recorded! And one of my favorite songs. He puts so much emotion into the song.
I really hope you enjoyed this ..beautiful voice..such control..
An unstrained delivery by this honey-voiced performer of a poignant song; should be preserved forever in the Library of Congress on a shareable platform.
Nothing like blue eyed soul😮!
I grew up in the 60s, I feel sorry for people who were did not know this music!
Perfection
The singer is the late, great Bobby Hatfield. He's one of the few counter-tenors you will hear in pop music. His partner, Bill Medley, has a voice that's as deep as Bobby's is high. Their harmonies are insane. The Righteous Brothers were one of the first Blue-Eyed Soul artists and many have followed in their footsteps.
I didn’t know he was a counter tenor!
I grew up listening to this. It's amazing.
Have you heard their song Bring back that loving feeling. Beautiful. Love The Righteous Brothers ❤
I got the chills too!! Just love listening to such a superb singer - just incredible!!!!! 💝💝💝
Talent was mandatory back then.... LOVE IT
Your facial expression said it all
Great reaction 😊👌
Yes, the boy has some pipes on him. Just pure talent.
Had 😢. One of the best ❤
This is just good 'ole dance music.
Back when we were all neighbors and loved great music. Caring about each other and dancing and singing and working hard so that we could all enjoy life. We are all family no matter where you are from or what race you are we need to love and care for one another again like we did back then. If someone had a need we all stepped in and helped. Faith hope and love and the greatest of these is love.
Love this . Wish someone would go back to writing songs like this.
I love that younger people are learning about these great artists. They are starting to understand why my generation just can't get into a lot of what is called music today. I'm not saying that the stuff today doesn't require talent, because each type of music requires a certain kind of "talent". It saddens me that a lot of what's being communicated today is anger, destruction, filthy language and depression. When I listen to music, I want to be entertained, made to feel good and that's what a lot of this type of music does. Great reaction!
His vocal range is phenomenal with no effort and perfect pitch❤❤❤
Live, no recording gimmicks and brilliant. One of the greatest pop live vocal performances of all time.
This was our first dance at our wedding reception and each time I hear it I still want to dance with my husband's arms around me. 30 years and still going.
He sings the meaning of the words and gives the words lots of respect (enunciation). He's a Steve Perry prototype in that way. So is Dolly Parton. These singers don't zone out of the meaning while they're performing -- at least not on the performances they're famous for. It makes me want to listen to the communication.
No auto tune, just Bobby Hatfield's incredible talent voice!
💯
Believe it or not, there are "Artists" that actually possess talent!
Auto tune didn't exist then. 😉
Feel better soon. I don't even need to watch the video, NO ONE has ever or ever will sing this like Bobby Haytfield.
...and he had a head cold that day! His mother was in the audience and he didn't want to let her down. This is what greatness sounds like.
My parents were teenagers in the 50’s & I grew up with this music & so many early soul and rock n roll songs in addition to my music in the 70’s & 80’s. We were taught about ALL kinds of music. My grandparents were into big bands & early soul & blues too. So happy to be born when I was, 1963. ❤❤❤
