RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "I JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU". IT'S A BRAND NEW REACTION! CHECK IT OUT: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fN13YKdosL20lWg.html

I'm 64, and I envy you hearing these things for the first time, makes me feel young.

This song sounds incredible TODAY in a world where every other singer is performing vocal runs, but imagine hearing this in an era where no-one had ever really heard a "Run" before. This shit was both angelic and alien-like. Artists like Bobby and others like Aaron Neville were not only technically incredible but were literally shaping music for TODAY's genres.

Bobby Hatfield hit those high notes with no effort. Notice his face never changes or looks strained when he does that. Beautiful voice from a beautiful man. RIP BOBBY HATFIELD. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

glad to see a 17 year old, commenting on the best thats ever been, in that genre of music.

Sang Live! No auto tune. No digital mixing. No lip sync. Just a great singer with a microphone. You'll never see or hear this today

In his day , Bobby Hatfield was one of just a few in the world who could hit that high of an octave.

Played this song over and over again as I waited for my hubby to get home from Vietnam! Helped me wait for him! He is still home with me after 55 years of marriage. It was Bobby taking the lead of this duo...gorgeous song! Thank you for being positive! Not a solo artist...a duo but he took the lead! Listen to more of their duets..you will see great talent!

Righteous Brothers were way ahead of their time. This type of music is eternal. Newer generations have never heard this. This was a time when they had to be excellent singers.

Bobby Hatfield and this song are likely responsibe for no less than a half a million children being born...maybe more.

One of those rare moments where voice alone can captivate multiple generations onward. While others frolic around the stage trying to keep their audience entertained.

Bobby Hatfield sang this solo , best version ever done , still revered today . Bill Medley other half of Righteous Bros , brothers not by blood but brothers by choice . RIP Bobby , sings for the angels now .😘 BLUE EYED SOUL - SURE IS !!

The Righteous Brothers are known as "Blue Eyed Soul"; their voices compliment each other; they were so soulful; they were exceptional artists; this is pure talent

I'm impressed by the fact *Bobby Hatfield,* recorded and released this song by *"The Righteous Brothers",* even though the other "brother", *Bill Medley,* doesn't sing in it. I'm also impressed that *Bill Medley* recognized that this song needed to be sung by *Bobby Hatfield* alone. They were a team, and there was no competition or jealousy between them. You can hear that fact in the other songs they sing together, and see it in their body language when they perform together on stage.

My uncle used to call this "blue eyed soul" which was a term popular back in his day when this was a new release/performance. I've always thought it is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. There have been many covers over the years, but Bobby Hatfield's ethereal voice is just sheer perfection for this song. His version is my all time favorite since I was a little kid in the 1970's. :-)

X you were just treated to one of the greatest voices ever. His name was Bobby Hatfield and the other half of the Righteous Brothers was Bill Medley. Bobby has passed on but Bill is still belting tunes. This was a time when technology could not hide your shortcomings. This was a live performance and I think few singers could pull this off today.

No one can sing this song like he did. He owns it!!! So beautiful and still gives me goosebumps! I'm 72 and I still get them. RIP Bobby! Love 💘

Hey There 😎👋 First off,a Great song and absolutely remarkable talented singer. Secondly I have respect towards you for picking up on his singing techniques..and your reaction was spot on..finally nice to see our younger generation recognizing and appreciating old skool music. 😎✌

And Bobby keeps smiling, like it is nothing his singing.

It was effortless. That's called talent

Done in the 1960's. Best music ever. And young man, you know your music and what to look for at the age of 17. Well done describing the voice of Bobby Hatfield such as vibrato, head and chest, falsetto et cetera.

Enjoy watching people discover real musicianship.

Bobby Hatfield, tenor of the duo. He had intense stage fright and succumbed to the grip of cocaine and alcohol. He was a faithful husband with 4 children. He passed in 2003 at 63 yoa of a heart attack in Kalamazoo, MI. He was born in Wisconsin then moved to southern California where he met Bill Medley who is still performing at 79yoa. He recorded Unchained Melody in 1965, ten years after it was written and performed by several great artists, but once Bobby sang it, it became his trademark. I am dedicated to Gospel music to the Glory of God, but this duo and this song has captivated me. I hope to see Bobby sing in Heaven some day, but with what his daughter said at his funeral, we can only hope. She said; "I finally got daddy to go to Church...."

Back in my day...before auto tune. Check out their live version of “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling.” It’s a classic

I really like that you critique the quality of the voice instead of just saying "wow its a white guy". Please react to some of their other songs.

If you would like to react to them as a duet, I recommend "Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Loving Feeling"

They are a duo, but Bobby Hatfield sings this solo.

Bobby Hatfield said he was very nervous before this performance because his parents were in the audience. wish we could all be that fortunate. Talk about confidence! 20 notes in this performance alone. Amazing! I take that back, 20 flawless notes in this performance.

and he's doing it live on tv.. his only solo song

That is some old footage. And that is some real talent.

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley make up the duo called the Righteous Brothers. They'd each do a solo song on each album, but both would still get credited. Like how Paul McCartney is the only member of the Beatles performing on the song "Yesterday," but the full Beatles get credit.

No auto tune there! The great Bobby Hatfield! RIP

Really enjoyed your reaction! This is still my favorite song, but only when sung by this singer, Bobby Hatfield, the "other Righteous Brother." I read that 670 singers recorded this song, but no one came close to Bobby Hatfield, seems to be the consensus. The Righteous Brothers left us many wonderful songs, I hope you'll react to some more. I especially like "you've lost that loving feeling." They were a duo, but Bobby was solo on this one. Sadly, he passed away in 2003, age 63, of advanced coronary artery disease.

pitch perfect and amazing vocal control... and this is LIVE... no miming like modern artists.

Read my comments below ... they answer all your questions ... Also, Bobby sang this while suffering from a head cold, and the high note he hit at the end was full voice, not falsetto! Four octaves ... This was sung LIVE in 1965 .. no auto-tune, no naked dancers, no smoke or mirrors ... just pure raw talent and blue-eyed soul ... Bobby had an amazing range of four octaves!

Falsetto Xavier is a "false" voice. Just about anyone can do it. Bobby Hatfield -- however -- hit all the notes with his pure tenor and not in falsetto but with perfect tonality and his high pitched voice is not what many singers can do. "Unchained Melody," by an earlier doo-wop group sang it faster (Vito & the Salutations) -- and Vito's voice was falsetto. Your assessment was quite good. Good job.

You have just been exposed to real, beautiful singing

Ain't no autotune here, just pure God given talent.

To hear the brothers together harmonize listen to "You've lost that loving feeling". Its a great song. This is the higher note brother. And the other one has a way lower deep voice. Together they sound amazing.

We old folks take delight when younger people understand how soulful Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were. Other similar but also classic performances by Bobby include "Ebb Tide," "White Cliffs of Dover," and "For Sentimental Reasons."

You lucky. Getting exposed to the classics at 17 damn

Whoa! I've never expected that u would react to the Righteous Brothers! Fyi, yea they're a duo and let me tell you, THEY ARE AMAZING! you've found another gem in music!

Gives me goosebumps and brings tears whenever I hear this! Poor Bobby had a head cold during this historic performance, and was so nervous because his mom was in the audience! It's called Blue Eyed Soul! RIP Bobby, you are still loved and continue to knock the socks off of new generations!

You're a very knowledgeable young man. Most reactors have no idea what they're talking about, relying solely on their personal feelings. Also, The Righteous Brothers were a duo. Bobby Hatfield and his singing partner, Bill Medley, felt this song should be sung solo. They flipped a coin, and the song went to Bobby. He made it timeless.

That was some controlled vocals mann

No need to break it down, just talent, pure talent.

The song was written for a 1955 movie called Unchained, about a guy in prison who couldn’t wait to get back to his girl. The guy who wrote the lyrics refused to put any of that stuff into the song so it became a general love song, sung by many before the Righteous Brothers did it .. but nobody else did it like this, altho many other singers covered the song later (including Elvis) and based their versions of it on this version by The Righteous Brothers ... It is a solo song, but the Righteous Brothers were a duo so they flipped a coin to see who was going to do it, and Bobby Hatfield won. The other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for the studio version as well as for this performance AND he played piano while Bobby was singing .. so it was still a team effort. Bobby sang another version for the movie “Ghost “ and this revived interest in the 1965 version (this one) which was then re-released. The Righteous Brothers and this song made history by having two different versions of the same song in the Top20 of the charts at the same time, competing against each other!

Love your reaction! Bobby Hatfield was 1/2 of The Righteous Brothers. They were a duo, but for this song they flipped a coin as to who would take the solo, and the toss fell to Bobby. He absolutely nailed it! You should definitely check out their other songs like You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, and more. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were incredible!

My favorite song with Bobby Hatfield singing. I will stop anything to listen to this song.

A man with a song and a voice no auto-tune think of that a minute

Righteous Brothers were a duo but Bobby Hatfield did this song solo while his musical partner Bill Medley did the musical arrangement for this live recording. Bobby was nervous in the beginning because his parents were sitting in the audience. The other member of the duo, Bill Medley, has a deep baritone voice yet they were able to do songs together very well .. take a listen to You’ve Lost That Lovin ‘Feelin’

As others have pointed out, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" is terrific and should definitely be on your playlist; it's their signature song and the best of the many great songs they did. Two others you'll like are "Soul and Inspiration " and "Just ONce In My Life"; if you liked "Unchained Melody", you'll love those two.

Count them...20 notes. So effortlessly for him what talent

Wonderful reaction! You don’t miss much! Thank you! 👍

I am 81 and have heard several artist before bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of there albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we now. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.

Kid YOU RIGHT Bobby Hatfield WAS A WONDER OF SINGER probably THE BEST YOU hear SINGING a SONG congratulations YOU GOT a really FEELINGS NOW GOOD boy

Love your reaction to this beautiful song! A little more background: Bobby had a cold, and was nervous, as his parents were in the audience. Bill Medley was the other part of the duo, super talented too! Bobby Hatfield performed this song solo, Bill, I understand, did the arrangement for this song and played piano. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction Bill still with us, RIP Bobby

The technique is interesting but he had an amazing unique sound and voice. No autotune. And live.

His version is bar none. I grew up with his music....never gets old. For someone so young, you know a lot about music. Thank you for your reaction

React to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" by The RIGHTEOUS Brothers. Also Roy Orbison.

Bobby Hatfield...one of the greatest singers EVER! If not THE best. This is indescribably beautiful. It just makes you feel so good just listening. Endorphines start flooding your system almost right away...

Many great singers throughout history have had formal training at some point, where others have not.I don't know if Bobby Hatfield had such coaching, but his flawless technique would suggest that he did. If so, his coach would be so proud. If he developed this voice entirely on his own, then it's equally amazing. Anybody out there knows?

One of the best singers and live performances there will ever be.

Welcome to blue eyed soul!❣

Xavier, I was 9 years old in 1965, and remember watching the Righteous Brothers on TV. I can also remember when the Beatles first performed in America on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was a big deal back then, and everyone was home watching.

This is from, "The Andy Williams Show." Bill Medley (the other Righteous Brother) and Andy are listening, but out of the picture. Bill said how he regretted letting Bobby Hatfield perform that song solo because no one could do it better and a duo (the Righteous Brothers) would only pale in comparison.

So happy to see a young person enjoying some of the great music from my generation.😊 Great analysis.

Now it's your turn. You younger ones are now responsible for making sure that these beautiful songs and artists are remembered and treasured. It's up to you to protect them and pass them to the next ones. :)

This was Bobby Hatfield’s solo performance. It show cased his wonderful craft. You would find soul and Inspiration by the Righteous Brothers a equally well crafted. Thank you for your reaction.

See......now this is a "nailed" reaction. You are wise beyond your years.

Millions of Babys Boomers were concieved to this Song.

Great reaction. His brother holds down the lower range....very well too.

I've watched probably 20 ( maybe more) reactions to this song. Yours is the BEST reaction and not only did you appreciate every second of this masterpiece but you knew about the riffs and belts and the rare range he had. I subscribed. This song gives me the chills

1965, Bobby Hatfield, 25 yrs old. They are a duo with Bill Medley, baritone. Bobby is a tenor with extreme range. He hits 24 notes in this song.

Excellent analysis of this song. Really enjoyed your comments and reaction. Thanks for this video. #Classic

This is "Bobby's Song." Many have tried, but Bobby owns it. This is this the first time I've heard anyone comment on his beautiful vibrato. no falsetto, Bobby was a countertenor. No strain, no effort. And NO auto-tune. When God Made Bobby, he broke the mold. Again, NOT falsetto. AsA Counter-Tenor, Bobby could go from Baritone to G5 or higher. All natural, no falsetto here!!

Bobby Hatfield is one of two Righteous Brothers; there is a story that both Bobby and Bill Medley wanted to do the song individually. It is said a coin was flipped and Bobby's version is the best performance of this song from a mid 50's movie titled the same as the song. Covered a number of times over the years, but nobody comes close to Bobby's vocal control and outright ease in the performance! Soundtrack used in the movie " Ghost " with Patrick Swayzee and Demi Moore. Just a great redition of the song!

The Righteous Brothers were dubbed, "Blue-Eyed Soul" back in the day. Bobby sang this song live (Andy Williams TV Show). The album cut didn't have him hitting the G4 (G5-?) note at the end. The album version was at a lower octave. Not sure why but this track is by far the best. This song is 55/yrs old and is as fresh today as it was in 1965. This should serve as a lesson for all young people. This song will forever endure the test of time. Why? Because, "Class will never go out of Style".

It's amazing what a trained voice sounds like.........

Yeah he goes up 12 octives..there is a reason they are in the rock and roll hof

A real singer. Nice reaction, mate.

great reaction yeah he was one of the best

"Unchained Melody" was originally recorded by Al Hibbler in the mid-1950s, and was a "Top 10" hit on the Billboard Pop Music Charts at that time. The Righteous Brothers covered the song in 1965, and it became their signature song. The Righteous Brothers re-recorded "Unchained Melody" for the "Ghost" Soundtrack Album in 1990.

Beautiful song ! 👏👍🌞 In the movie "Ghost" it was performed. Very beautiful and romantic. ❣️

Timeless Classic

Great reaction video. You are obviously very knowledgeable and know a brilliant performance when you hear it.

Xavier definitely check out Roy Orbison And Jay and the Americans as well as the other Righteous Brothers. Btw I was born in 1948, so I was 17 when this came out. You are in for a wild ride Enjoy. Peace

Bobby Hatfield had a four octave voice. Bill Medley was the other person in the Righteous Brothers. He had no part in this song, that's why you don't see him.

I have watched a lot of people register their reactions and most are just guy on the street quality. WOW! GREAT! What I enjoyed about your analysis is that it was about the performer and not about you. I appreciate that. You compare favorably with many of the vocal coaches online who are able to break down the performance in terms I can understand. Keep doing what you do. Happy to add you to subscriptions I follow.

Awesome reaction ! Welcome to "blue eyed soul"

Pure voice!

Keep listen to this kind of music, its amazing..

Glad to see you appreciate this. It is from my era and I don't usually see many younger people enjoying it. I am sure you know by now that the Righteous Brothers were Bobby Hatfield who sang here and Bill Medley. Think this performance was from mid 1960s.

Wonderful heartfelt reaction!

Wow! You are so knowledgeable and in depth with this reaction...it was brilliant!!! I have to be honest, I watched this because I love seeing young people hear the greats for the first time, simply to see their enjoyment. I didn't actually expect such an in depth reaction...very well done!! I enjoy seeing more reactions from you in the future! You should listen to Righteous brothers "You lost that loving feeling" That feature both Righteous brothers, Bobby hatfield and Bill Medley. They aren't really brothers. They were initially called something else but while performing for a platoon of African-American servicemen, someone said "these brother's are Righteous!!" They liked it, and changed their name . (At least that's was the story I was told!) 👍👍❤🧡💚💜💛🌹🌹🌹🌹

others have maybe told you but The Rightious Brothers were not brothers. Bobby Hatfield is singing here and his 'brother' is Bill medley. they normally dueted on songs. Bobby died in 2003. Nice to see such a young guy appreciating an old classic. I'm almost 70 so grew up (luckily) listening to this proper music. Take a listen to Jay Black (Jay & the Americans singing "Cara Mia") then maybe Gene Pitney singing it or any of his songs. Well done fella :-)

I know, this is 3 years later, but I just have to make 1 correction. There was no falsetto in this song. Its a common mistake, coz countertenors are very rare, like 1 per generation, but thats what Bobby Hatfield was. A countertenor, who could naturally and effortlessly cover the entire tenor and soprano spectrums and even go higher than many sopranos. No falsetto, just his natural voice.

You're commentary is spot on. Well done

They are a duo,the other singer Bill was playing the piano,but generally they sing together,this was a solo for Bobby,they were very versatile not only their genre's but singing styles.

Nice to hear sweet tones and no screaming !
