Bill with his bass/baritone, Bobby with his tenor/countertenor....two amazing voices & it worked. Lovin' Feelin' the most played recording of the century...with all of the great recordings, this was it, the song lovers dreamed of, the heartbreak of someone's first love...it was magic...and a masterwork.
These two were simply magic together...can't really say any more than that. And as sad as it was that Bobby left us way too soon, I can at least be thankful that he got this moment before he passed.
We of course all love when Bobby did his solo Unchained Melody but I was reintroduced to them when his partner Bill Medley sang what became my favorite song from the movie Major League..."40 I find...they were absolutely exceptional as a duo or individually...thank you both, RIP Bobby Hatfield
Rest in peace Bobby. you were an unbelievable performer. Everything you did was great. Your singing your dancing your jokes your personality. God truly got an angel
He was absolutely not an addict, and he definitely wasn't messing around with heroin. Where do you people get this nonsense? He died because he was in very serious need of bypass surgery. That trace amount of cocaine is suspect; no one close to him ever saw him using or under the influence. Now crawl back to Mama's basement ...
Boom...shit...most dramatic and incredible performance ever on the RR Hall of Fame...Bill and Bobby, they put their whole soul and heart into it...Wow.
I absolutely love this version . Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hit it perfect in this one . Sad that Bobby passed away just a few months after this .
Watching this because I watched Top Gun. The talent is just out of this world. And like their performances in the 60s no flash, no shock, no theatrics, no tattoos, just 100% class and talent. What these guys have can't be taught.
WOW, digging deep within the soul still. Look at his fist as he sings those notes. I am so glad there are people like them that do not give up when they get older.
Of all the inductees in the Hall of Fame, Bobby and Bill deserved it more than any of the rest, because they were simply the best. Bobby walked in, never missed a beat, never missed a note. That performance was perfection.
I saw them at a 1984 concert opening for Kenny Rogers and was mesmorized. I love all of their songs. In 2003 living in Tampa, they were to appear in Clearwater Fl, and I thought if i dont go,, I'll never see them again. Sadly, Bob died almost a year later. I miss him & Bill.
Those dudes are special to a level I can't describe. Almost 40 years later, they were still better than and more soulful than just about anyone nowadays. They were the soul Eminems lol
They still had it in 2003! I then look up when Bobby Hatfield died and realized it was the same year as this performance when they were inducted into to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! It just shows you really NEVER KNOW when its the last time you will see a performer perform live.
Bobby still has the same tone and voice and all these years man that’s amazing. Bill still can carry that low tone like no one else!!! These 2 men are responsible with this song and Unchained Melody. In producing sooo many babies.
From the Big Band Sound of the 1940's to DooWop an Rhythm and Blues, Rock'nRoll and all else of the '50's and 60's, there will never be another era like this. And there will never be another Righteous Brothers! Bill is still great, and Bobby still lives through his incredible voice.
I'm a longtime RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS fan - 1962-present. Bobby and Bill - they were the nicest guys and greatest singers - THE BEST DUO IN MUSIC HISTORY IN MY OPINION. I'm 62-years old. I remember many interactions with them throughout their careers ... Bobby would have been 72 years old this coming August 10, 2012. He is sadly missed by us all .... Remember Bobby for 41+ years of great music and his kindness to all of us. Go see Bill - he can still belt the songs out. AWESOME . :)
They still had that sound, I'm glad they made the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame together (just before Bobby Hatfield passed), it was great to see them perform.
He was one of the greatest. Didn't just sing, but interpreted and performed, and really knew instinctively how to use his instrument. Wish he were still around. 😥
@@Mrs.Patriot Every song he ever sang, Bobby poured all his heart, soul and emotion into every note. Just look at this one. Just as intense as he always was, putting his whole body as well as his heart into it.
I'm glad they got their deserved induction while they were both still with us. Unfortunately, as we all know, the hall has screwed it up several times, and I met Bill last year, great guy.. 👍
35diamondgirl shares the same feelings I have about The Righteous Brothers - their acceptance speeches were so genuine. Bill and Bobby, ever so grateful, thanking everyone involved - leaving no one out. When Bobby thanked "Paul Shaffer, his band and those background singers ".. and then added "mercy" - I thought what a class act. In January, 1962, in my hometown of San Jose, CA they sang at John's Drive-In for the March of Dimes Marathon and were simply fabulous .. 50 years ago !
I saw these guys in Vegas. Thirty-five days later Bobby Hatfield passed away. Just like a David Bowie Young Americans concert, I was truly blessed to enjoy the music.
Great performance they should have been in the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME yrs before this way over due but definitely deserved.Unfortunatly Bobby Hatfield passed away a few myths after thus.I'm just happy he was there.
Haven't watched this in a while, but it still brings chills and tears. Bill and Bobby poured their heart and soul into this performance and just killed it, adapting it perfectly to their aging but soulful voices.
One of my favorite Bobby Hatfield stories. One night here in San Diego. I was getting autographs and talking to them both. They were at Humphries, an outdoor stage setting. I told Bobby that the women in the crowd always loved it when he would added an extra "Please" when he did his exchange with Bill. So he said "thanks I'll make sure I add it tonight." Watch the "exchange" around 2:45 where Bobby sings, "Please, Please, Please" and adds a smile at the end. Priceless. They were the BEST.
The Righteous Brothers are my Favorite vocal duo. I have been a fan since 1963, It's truly a shame of the passing of Bobby. They will always live on in my heart and mind. Love their music.
Bobby Hatfield passed away in November of this same year. I was only ten at the time (i'm now turning 21) but holy cow, do I appreciate these two and thier music. Bobby lives on in the minds of us. Never forget.
You've lost that love feeling but not the Righteous Brothers. Incredible voices for an incredible song. Makes you want to weep they sing it so beautifully. LOVE YOU!
Everytime I hear them sing I cry it takes me back to a good place nothing like today I hate to get up in the morning. But I turn them on and I'm back in the good normal days.
Allegedly the most played song in AM radio history. Saw that some place on the internet. Probably Wikipedia. And you know you can't put stuff that's not true on the internet.
@@stanleycrim That was according to BMI. Over 8 million plays on radio and TV in the twentieth century. Now counting this century, way over 13million. Pretty good, for two guys from Orange County, Ca. Eh?
Who would have know the world 🌎 would lose Bobby later that year. Without a doubt the best duo ever! Whenever I watch these 2 waves of emotions overcome me. I watched these 2 since the beginning and the memories they made for me will go on forever !
I didn't think either one would be able to hit the notes, but they were spot on with their voice changes of today and they were just quintessential professionals.
It's the miles on Bobby's vocal chords, as well as smoking that robbed of those high notes. Bobby's style of singing songs like "Summertime" which he sang a lot of, had a lot to do with it. But it makes no difference, because Bobby was still the greatest singer in the world. Just ask bill. Yes, I lost my singing voice from smoking. But I didn't quit until 2 years ago. Regrets, regrets. Bobby, you are so missed.
That sweet Bobby smile. Bobby is so handsome, as good as he was 55 years ago. Bill, he looks like a wise old owl, He is still a good lookin' man! That one-armed hug that Bill gave to Bobby was probably to let him know that he nailed it.
I remember Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil doing an interview - and they never imagined how popular their song would end up being. The Righteous Brothers went in and made this song a monster hit. I am so glad that they choose this song at their long overdue 2003 Hall of Fame induction. Catch Bill and Bobby on Shindig sing it live - GREAT. Bill's voice, just perfect and Bobby, he hit notes so high, with such ease it made everyone think - nobody, but nobody could sing like that. Both just 24.
Yes and Barry and Cynthia said Bobby added those high counter-tenor "please" notes. They said that was of his own doing. That wasn't the way they had written it but loved it. Loved working with such talented artists.
Roger C. Thank you for sharing your personal interactions with Bobby and Bill. There is not a lot written about Bobby’s personal/family life. Please tell us more. I am 76 years old and have always loved their voices...especially Bobby’s. So thankful we can still listen to their perfect harmony. RIP, Bobby.
I saw Bill Medley in Branson, MO. His son was singing Bobby Hatfield's part. It was a very moving show. Actually his son did double duty. They were appearing with Paul Revere and the Raiders, and his son also sang Mark Lindsey's part.
This is a pure example of talent that is God-given because none of us could ever sing like this but those very few that were gifted it, I'm so grateful they were!
"talent" is a bullshit word for hard work and dedication, and it certainly was not "given" by some fantasy figure. Saying someone is "talented" and that it was "given" to them is just disrespectful to the work they put in to reach a certain level of skill.
I loved Bobby Hatfield when I was young. his voice there will not be another like it no-one will out sing him he was the best of the best RIP Bobby Linda. Pam lamb I live. In australia
Hey. Pam, I know how you feel, I fell in love with Bobby that night in 1965 on Andy Williams show. Trouble is, I never fell out! Bobby was on in a trillion, and this performance proved it.
Priceless!!! The best duo Ever!! I was devastated when they split up! At least they finally got back together, but think of all the great songs they could have recorded together! A fan from 10 yrs to 60 yrs old and counting.
Evan hello .... Please see my other comments on Bobby and Bill. I've been a fan since 1963... I've seen them 40-50 times + after that many concerts they get to know and remember the real dedicated fans - I am one of them. This version is a "gem." It is the last "live" recording of this song - which the Rock and Roll HOF asked them to sing. It is a hard song to sing when your 62 years old - but they nailed it. I am glad I was born in 1949, Bobby and Bill - were the BEST !!!!!!!!!
You could tell that build love Bobby so much they were like brothers he took care of Bobby a lot too and I know he misses him terribly like we all do they'll never be another Righteous Brothers like them to may God bless both of them and rest in peace Bobby
@@phyllisrogers847 Phyllis, I didnt mean to bring up this subject but it has always made me angry because I loved Bill. Bobby adored him. Read the book. Bobby's kids were so upset because they looked on Bill as their uncle. Valyn had looked forward to "Uncle Bill" walking her down the aisle. There are so.mane people upset by the things Bill said about Bobby. I think that Bill really did love Bobby as a brother. But I believe that there was a lot of unnecessary jealousy on Bills part. I'm happy that Bill is still alive and singing. I love his tribute to Bobby. I believe it's sincere. Maybe an apology. But whatever was truth, solo or duo, they were amazing. I'm happy that Linda never saw that book.
@@dawnaberry4197 what's the name of the book I would like to read it I don't mind the kids you know if they're mad at their Uncle Bill but he needs to keep his opinions to his self Bobby is the one that made that group by his beautiful voice she was the singer in that group and I love Bill to I Love The Righteous Brothers and always will I mean I have film of them on their TV show and stuff I'm watch where they were inducted in the Hall of Fame you know I just can't believe that bill would say something about Bobby like that and yes Bobby was wrong from getting on that coke I mean that was very bad for his heart and that's probably why he was mad at him but thank you so much you know for the info by would like to know what the name of the book is thank you
@@dawnaberry4197 I guess Bill would be jealous of them he had the looks He could sing He could dance Oh my God so good looking And I'm so glad Linda did not read that book And I know his kids were God I bet they were ticked off
This truly was one of the best duos Back in the ‘60’s they both still sing great After all of these years ! Miss Booby Hatfield their music will forever live on

They should have been inducted waaaaay before 2003!! So many great songs.
The world truly lost an amazing musician when we lost Bobby Hatfield
Every time i find out that these very great singers past away i think why not me .??they should be staying alive for ever
Bill is still alive...

Rest in peace Bobby. you were an unbelievable performer. Everything you did was great. Your singing your dancing your jokes your personality. God truly got an angel
Were? Was?
Hello Janet 🎉😊,How are you doing?
Bobby was more than one in a million. There has never been and will never be anyone like him. He is the best.
Bobby Hatfield was a drug addict. He was messing around with heroin and it killed him. Waste of a life.
He was absolutely not an addict, and he definitely wasn't messing around with heroin. Where do you people get this nonsense?
He died because he was in very serious need of bypass surgery. That trace amount of cocaine is suspect; no one close to him ever saw him using or under the influence.
Now crawl back to Mama's basement ...
The voices - still magnificent! Ah!
Hello Beth 🎉😊,How are you doing?
Boom...shit...most dramatic and incredible performance ever on the RR Hall of Fame...Bill and Bobby, they put their whole soul and heart into it...Wow.
My only wish is to go back to that era of music, the innocence, pureness, creative graceful youthfulness of the artist and their artful songs.
thay had that magical touch to the end , true brother love x
I absolutely love this version . Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hit it perfect in this one . Sad that Bobby passed away just a few months after this .

Saw them in Denver September, 2003. Incredible concert.
So sad
As a nurse I know cocaine can do that! That’s why I never tried it…why? Bc I know I would have loved it! My brother loved it & he’s dead…..😢
After all these years. Never miss a note or a beat. They were incredible. Bobby is so missed and loved, always will be.
Hello Dawn 🎉😊,How are you doing?

It brought tears to my eyes! So very Great. My thanks to the Righteous Brothers and the writers of this fine song. Rest in peace, Bobby.
Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the best husband/wife songwriting teams that ever was.

Fantastic!!!🥰
You think he did that because you told him that years ago?
Elias Barnes no
Yes they are older..Not hitting the same notes..But they were the cornerstone of
ANY 60's music
Talent never fades. Their brilliance will inform future generations what was possible with limited technological enhancement.
The Righteous Brothers are my Favorite vocal duo. I have been a fan since 1963, It's truly a shame of the passing of Bobby. They will always live on in my heart and mind. Love their music.

It's a great thing he was inducted before he passed away.
I'm glad someone as young as you appreciates these wonderful men.
You've lost that love feeling but not the Righteous Brothers. Incredible voices for an incredible song. Makes you want to weep they sing it so beautifully. LOVE YOU!
The GREATEST singing duo of ALL TIME!!!
Bless their hearts. Time has taken a toll on their voices. But even so, they could still out perform most men their age. They were just that good.
I love you guys I got to see you when you came to Fresno, Ca ❤😊
Blue-eyed soul. Silky smooth and cool. Love these guys!!!
They still had it then!!!
Everytime I hear them sing I cry it takes me back to a good place nothing like today I hate to get up in the morning. But I turn them on and I'm back in the good normal days.
Bobby always moves to all his vocal deliveries I love it ~ even now he still moves the same way
This is probably the greatest rock hall of fame performance in history.

I'm happy that Linda never saw that book.
@@dawnaberry4197 what's the name of the book I would like to read it I don't mind the kids you know if they're mad at their Uncle Bill but he needs to keep his opinions to his self Bobby is the one that made that group by his beautiful voice she was the singer in that group and I love Bill to I Love The Righteous Brothers and always will I mean I have film of them on their TV show and stuff I'm watch where they were inducted in the Hall of Fame you know I just can't believe that bill would say something about Bobby like that and yes Bobby was wrong from getting on that coke I mean that was very bad for his heart and that's probably why he was mad at him but thank you so much you know for the info by would like to know what the name of the book is thank you
@@dawnaberry4197 I guess Bill would be jealous of them he had the looks He could sing He could dance Oh my God so good looking And I'm so glad Linda did not read that book And I know his kids were God I bet they were ticked off
Are you kidding me? They still sing as great as they did in their younger years. I am very impressed. Love this song
Sadly Bobby Hatfield (one of the righteous brothers that has the higher voice) died that exact year of 2003...
About 7 months later in fact.
Michael Brown
The smaller one? His name was Bobby Hatfield. Couldn’t you show a little more respect?
Not even close. Silly statement
