A live performance, no studio enhancements. No auto-tune, no remixing. Just pure amazing talent. Almost 60 years later, and Bobbie is still making beautiful women melt.

Back when talent was a requirement for being on television.

Older music has passion- it actually means something.

I miss music like this so much. No vulgarity and no promotion of bad behavior. Music back then had class, elegance, and beauty. It sounds so refined. A moment of soft vulnerability is captured here in this song that speaks to the soul. A talented vocalist singing from his heart directly to yours. I wish people would still make music like this.

OMG the late Bobby Hatfield! I was 15 years old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song, and no one sang it better than he did. RIP Bobby! We miss your beautiful voice! ❤️ ❤️❤️

NO ONE absolutely NO ONE has sang this song better than Bobby Hatfield. Best live performance in history.

The heart and soul of the 60s. My father played with them for over 40 year. Nobody can harmonize like Bobby Hatfield could. He left his 2 beautiful kids behind. RIP bobby

It's ROMANTIC! There's no romance in today's music. There is another member. Check out " You've lost that lovin feeling" . It has both guys. Music back then was sexy in a romantic way. No flashing lights, dancers, auto tune, just pure talent and a microphone. You've heard this song if you've ever watched the movie GHOST.

The greatest performance in history .

This is an example of what we now seniors then called “blue eyed soul” !

This song definitely reflects the time. To long for her touch. ❤... I imagine the woman was not a loud aggressive boss type who'd probably laugh at the man for expressing himself so sweet and humbly. If the majority of women today were feminine and friendly, we'd still be hearing ballads like this regularly.

this is bobby hatfield performing this song solo because it is a solo song. you should check out bobby hatfield doing "summertime"

Sometimes laughter is a way to cover up the feelings you are having. A grown woman might have appreciated the heart felt emotions expressed by a man for the woman he loves. A couple of girls might sense what is being expressed and to avoid reacting to the amazing delivery of those feelings in song, they giggle and laugh to cover up whatever feelings the song might have evoked. I think we have watched not so much a reaction to a song as much as we have watched a couple of girls avoid revealing anything about themselves. I think this video thing is just a little too big for you girls.

first time i ever seen anyone laugh listening to this.......one of the greatest live vocals ever

He is only 1/2 of the Righteous Bros act. Listen to "You've lost that Lovin' Feeling" by both of them! They were known in my day as "The Blue Eyed Soul Brothers"...unofficially. Their name was given to them by a huge following of Blacks who called their act "Righteous!" (A saying back in the day, like "Cool")

This is one of the most beautiful ballads ever written. Not the cheap sh*t we got today. Everything was made in 1 take. There were classy gentlemen and classy women compared to nowadays Zoomers..

His beautiful sound was known in the 60's as "blue-eyed soul". His voice draws out emotions now, almost 60 years later, as much as it did then. Your reaction is priceless!!!

Bobby,...melting hearts and making girls blush from 1965....

This is a vocal masterclass... Bobby Hatfield is arguably the greatest male vocalist of all time... He had it all, the looks, the voice, and effortlessly cool... Aspiring singers should watch this performance because there was no auto tuning, no cues, nothing but raw talent... Not even Elvis had his vocal range... Thee only other person with a voice of an angel was Karen Carpenter.... Never will we hear vocals like this again. This is a fluke of nature that only ever happens once... Listening to this song is a privilege... PERFECTION 👌

Yes, listen to both Righteous Brothers singing "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"'. There is no sound like the two of them together.

That was a year before this old man was born. Peace, Love!!

His partner, Bill Medley is the deeper voiced and you can see them both on "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"' and "Soul and Inspiration". They were guests on a show in the 60s called The Andy Williams Show, another great singer. From time to time they both did solos. They got their name when a group of black Marines, after seeing their act, yelled out that was Righteous and the name stuck!

The song was written in 1955 for a pretty mediocre movie called Unchained. It was about a prisoner pining away for his wife. It has been recorded by many artists (including Elvis), but Bobby's rendition takes the cake and this particular live recording is by far the best. The song was used in the movie Ghost, but it didn't have that "to the moon" ending this version has.

Things are so different? There's this year's understatement.

8 out of 10? Just wait until you've done 100's of these and broken free from the contemporary sounds of your time. Come back and see what you think.

Amazing song!

Thank you, FYI his mother was in the audience for this performance.

Bobby was one of the two Righteous Brothers who sang many songs that hit the charts like You've lost that loving feeling and Soul and Inspiration and even You'll never walk alone. Check out My Prayer and Summertime for a couple of Bobby's solos.

Bobby Hatfield, whose the upper harmonies of the pop-soul duo the Righteous Brothers, died In January 2004, in a hotel Kalamazoo, Mich. He was 63 . The initial autopsy found that Hatfield had advanced coronary disease. RIP Bobby, you are missed

There were 2 'brothers' (not actual bros), but only 1 in this performance, Bobby Hatfield. He and Bill Medley both sang "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" made famous AGAIN, in the movie "Top Gun".

GIRLS, CAN YOU BELIEVE A PERFORMANCE LIKE THIS FROM BOBBY HATFIELD BACK IN 1965. THIS PERFORMANCE IS WHAT WE NOW CALL "X-FACTOR PLUS" BY THE WAY, BOBBY HATFIELDS STUDIO VERSION WAS IN THAT FAMOUS FILM "GHOST" STARRING PATRICK SWAYZE AND DEMI MOORE AND WHOOPIE GOLDBERG. THIS ICONIC SONG WENT NO 1 IN THE USA

Yours was an accurate (but sad) commentary on the lack of respect for today's young women by today's young men. It doesn't have to be that way. Take it from Aretha Franklin: R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

I've watched reaction videos of other black ladies that have reviewed this video and they are melting 😍 over his voice and the lyrics, you can see there temperature rising, 🌡if you know what I mean 🤠

This video is from a TV show, the Andy Williams Show from 1965. I actually saw this live back then. There's another version of this same video where the host, Andy Williams, talks with both 'brothers' before Bobby goes out to sing this. Back when this came out, the only place to get music was at home on your record player, the radio, or watching these shows on TV. Old school performers like Williams, Bobby Darin, even Lawrence Welk showcased new talent which got radio stations to play their music. Toward the end of the 60's, these shows began to fade away and be replaced by more contemporary music variety shows like The Sonny and Cher Show, the Midnight Special, Soul Train, etc. If you want to see and hear a piece of what my generation listened to, I suggest you look through the archives for performances from the Midnight Special and Soul Train. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for your reaction, I love watching young folks get exposed to the music that I (and your grandparents!) grew up with.

The song came from the movie, "Unchained' in 1955, a 'prison' movie. There were many hit versions that year of the song in 1955.The highest charing version on the pop charts, #3, was by Al Hibbler..kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etCZdJiD39XXdY0.html At the same time in 1955, Roy Hamilton's version made it to #1 in the R&B charts, and #6 in the pop charts. The Righteous Brother's version is based on Roy's arrangement. Roy Hamilton: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZ52qMikzp66k30.html

Voice is timeless

I am 59 and yes the Music, and time aspects are so different. Even music like Diana Ross and the Shirelles/Motown was so different.

A timeless song in the days when people could really sing. Try patsy cline singing "crazy". Love your reactions, carry on listening to the old ones 😎

Your insight into how times have changed was brilliant.

I remember hearing this song in the 60s. I've always loved it. The song was highlighted in the 1990 movie Ghost starring Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore.

You have to listen to you’ve lost that loving feeling by them! It has them both! It’s GREAT!

This reminds me that “Sista’s With Voices” don’t have actual voices.

He was dealing with a cold during this performance but gave it his all because his parents were in the audience.

You are right. In my day, many decades ago, we spoke TO WOMEN. Now men speak AT WOMEN!

The origin of this song: A 1955 movie called "Unchained," about a prisoner hoping his lover will still remember him when he gets out.

The Righteous Brother is 2 guys, but this particular song happens to be a solo. They got their name one night when they were performing at an audience full of black military men, when at the end of the show someone called out, "that's righteous brothers!" and they liked the sound of that.

That was called the blue eyed soul back then

there are 2 in the group but sometimes they both do solos sometime , see the together checkout (YOUV'LL LOST THAT LOVING FEELING) BOTH SING IN THAT ONE

The Andy Williams Show- Episode #4.5 Episode aired Oct 25, 1965 - [ ] Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. *In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and he left. He said, 'No, I can do it better.' And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof." Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

alot better then the music today

I find it funny that people walk around with their pants around there ankles while repeating nursery rhymes

Loved your reaction ladies! Bobby was 25 years old on this video in 1965. The song was from a prison movie , "Unchained" made in 1955. It's a prisoner wondering if his girl will still be waiting for him when he's released. Many artists have covered this song, but I think Bobby owns it! Thanks!

There are 2 in group. They are not brothers. This song was sang by Bobby. The other member is Bill. They were huge in the 60's. And it's pure voice. No auto-tune or gimmicks. Listen to their song, (" You're my Soul and inspiration ") and (" You Lost that loving Feeling ") It's so good.

This is my all time favorite rendition of Unchained Melody. Prior to this, I really like two 1955 versions, one by Al Hibbler and one by Roy Hamilton. You need to check those two out yourselves. They were both baritones....

The Righteous Brothers were a duo: Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. ... "Unchained Melody" was recorded by ... The Righteous Brothers for Philles Records in 1965. The lead vocal was performed s̲o̲l̲o̲ by Bobby Hatfield ... According to Bill Medley, the other Righteous Brother, they (The Righteous Brothers) had agreed to do one solo piece per album. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Bobby Hatfield won the coin toss. - Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unchained_Melody )

Gen Z gonna find out! No auto tune! pure talent

It's ok to cry, means it touched your heart and sooul.

8 out of 10..... are you kidding me ?... thats a 10+ any day of the week forever

10.

Unfortunately gen z's have no idea what music really sounds like.

You should check out The Good, The Bad and The Ugly by The Danish National Orchestra.

You might want to sample "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" to hear both singers' talents showcased.

Now we know how a man at war yearns and hopes that this girl at home will wait for him.

It's called talent, you had to have it back then.

It's sad that you guys haven't experienced music like this growing up but I guess it's a sign of the times. Please check out the rest of their music and some 80's & 90's R&B groups like New Edition, Ready For The World, The Deele, Jodeci, Troop, Hi-Five & Keith Sweat.

Music is always evolving as new techniques and technologies are incorporated. However, autotune will never give anyone goosebumps.

Yeah, the quality for 1965 was amazing, we'd only just stopped using stone and chisels to write with 🙂

Great reaction. As the Buggles told us... "Video Killed the Radio Star" !! Keep it up !!

Great song

Personally, I think the people reacting to this or laughing, very silly and a beautiful song that doesn’t require laughter. It requires hearing it.

Is it really music now? Or is it different?

If you listened to the lyrics you'd know it was about a man who had spent time in prison and was waiting to touch her again and praying she would wait for him. God speed your love... to me.

Love your reaction, comments most of all the shirt with Jesus Saves

the good, bad, & ugly by the Danish Symphony Procul Harem-whiter shade of pale-live in denmark

Glad you are learning about whst we grew up with..

Back in the mid 2000s I was a producer for the Tom Joyner Morning Show. One morning their subject was white musical artists you paid to see. People were calling in with all sorts of groups and bands, and someone said The Righteous Brothers and Tom said "They're not white, they're Black. They got too much soul." Cracked me up, but he wasn't wrong lol.

A man who has been dead nearly 20 years is still making women swoon with a song recorded 58 years ago.

Check out "Dion - the wanderer". If you're looking for a song about a man using a bunch of women in the 60s.

One of the best belly-rubbing songs of my time. I’m the same age as this song.

Modern women are completely and utterly different than the women of this era. The songs that men make now are reflective of the quality of modern day women by and large. Shout out to the wheat thins crew.

Floor Jensen & Henk Poort-phantom of the opera-beste zangers

This was used in the poetry scene between Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in the movie Ghost

You can say what you want about the noises that is passed as music today, but you will never get me to say a turd is a snickers bar. I grew up with great music like this in tje 60s,70s and 80s so i know better. This performanve and song are far FAR beyond even a 10.

If you want a guy that represents this song wait for love, marriage, and the sex will follow... and whatever you do don`t settle and give up, wait for that good guy who is waiting for you. Peace and brother love to you.

Bobby Hatfield, walking talking live action Ken doll.

Being in my 60's I know what you mean about how men talk/treat women. The sad truth is that we've been going through an era where men treating women like ladies has become looked at as not treating women as equals. Telling a woman she looks nice or pretty nowadays is pretty much unacceptable behavior. What a shame. Maybe your generation will work on changing that.

Subbed...You should check out Tom McDonald "Dear Rappers" he speaks on what you're saying about how today's rapper's calling every woman a ho...and many other things.

A masterpiece by Bobby Hatfield

Whats funny is that the parts that you are laughing at are some of the most difficult things to do ever in music.

Check out "Remedy" by The Black Crowes if you want to see some strong vocals.

Please do yourself a favor and listen to the Righteous Brothers (live) sing "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling."

Real one of many coo jams

It's insanely gorgeous and lovely.

Please listen to Summertime by Bobby Hatfield The man in this video Its a forgotten gem.😍

They call it "Blue-Eyed Soul".

Got to react to "You've lost that loving feeling" If you thought this was good that will blow you away

I love that song

This is something gen.Z never will be able to understand called REAL talent.

Look at Mr. Macky's review below! He is RIGHT ON!!!!!

Back when women didn’t shit on men and fuck with them… that’s why they sing there hart to them.
