Yup, its 3am and I'm still scrolling

Same here. Been watching since around 10:00 PM. I can't stop!!

Same here lol...

1130pm to 330am... now im gonna be blurree-eyed all Sunday. But worth it!! It was so entertaining watching someone honestly enjoy and appreciate something you're familiar with.

Me too, and I’ve got so many things to do. Yet, here I am.

Rebecca Woehler-Moss once I start....I’m watching for a very long time!! They are adorable!

I’m 64 and I have told everyone about these guys! They’re awesome

Love these kids!!

I am 62 and love this young man's reaction

I'm 80 and have been loving all these reaction videos. Bonus is I have better sound equipment now than I did before, so I am hearing them and appreciating them more than ever.

I'm 68, me too! Love them.

I'm "hooked"

I hear ya... I’m 72 I can’t stop watching The best ever ❤️❤️

I KNOW!!!!!! I am so proud of our music from the day and watching the younger generation being blown away with it is awesome! I can’t get enough!!!!!!

72, recently widowed, and these guys jus touch my heart. Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm a 65 year old white woman who grew up a hippie back in the early "70's" & never out-grew it . I'm told I have a very retro style & a strong rebellious streak. You guys are such a breath of fresh air. I absolutely love how you listen to ALL types of music suggested with an open mind regardless of color, race, etc of the musicians. You cracked me up with this one. It was so obvious that you had a hard time believing that a white guy could sing that well. Too funny. I watch all your videos. The first was Phil Collins & you & your brother were freaking out. I was hooked from there on Thanks so much for making this old woman laugh & bringing me music I had forgotten about. Keep up the good work.

When he sings sea-ee-ee-ee is like the river current moving towards the open arms of the sea...

That’s amazing!! 😲

Haaaaa! That's awesome!!!😜💕

WOW!!!!

Yes! That's amazing! Wow.

68

Watching them makes me wish I could hear all these songs for the first time again.

The reason you thought that it was a black band is the reason why they called it "BLUE EYED SOUL". ( Suprise! Two clean cut, very white guys BRINGING IT!) I'm LOVING watching ya'll younger guys discovering and APPRECIATING my generation's music. Your raw honesty is a joy and ya'll are making me fall in love with this music all over again. THANK YOU!

Much time has passed since I have listened to this song, as well as other wonderful songs that were popular so many years ago. Now each time I listen, it is as if I’m hearing them for the first time. These songs are timeless, and will always sound fresh to me.

Could not have put that statement any better.

They are great!

❤

❤️

You're Grandma was right. This man is responsible for many people falling in love since 1964.

grandma was Righteous!

AMEN TO. THAT..!!!

Thank you! Ghost! Great movie too

I get into music that way, too, and enjoy seeing someone so much younger than I am enjoying it in a similar way.

I just discovered I really like this song too now!

Same

I couldn't agree with you more! I look forward to listening and watching them before I go to bed. You guys are great - don't ever change :)

ABSOLUTELY aren’t they great. Really open-minded and appreciative of such a wide range of music. Love it.

True that

TRUTH!

Yes I agree it's not about color it's a person with soul

That's because all good music comes from deep human emotion. Human

@USA#1 !! I think that it is no big deal what he said. I don't think meant much by it. He was just little surprised to hear someone sing in that style. Just an observation that the singer sounded similar to someone of color to him. I was pointing out that people from all races can sing that way. Culturally, many white people may not grow up with certain types of music that they listen to. But all kinds of people have talent for all kinds of things when they are exposed to them. Stereotypes have truth to them. But many times they come off insulting as you act that everyone in a class of people normally behaves a certain way. It is wrong to say “I thought you were white on the phone,” because you are implying that all people of color, talk a certain way. You were that the person that said that he did not sound "ghetto". And you were surprised that he quote unquote sounded white. And by that you meant that the person sounded intelligent, without ebonics and not "ghetto", I assume? So that is a bit of an an insult. But I don't think that you meant it as an insult. You just meant that the person was well spoken. And who cares how people speak anyway. That is the way people speak where they come from. It is how they grew up. It is part of their culture. We are all the same inside. We all want the same things out of life. But we have simply have different shades of skin, come from different cultures and have some sociological differences. But the color of our skin itself has no bearing on who we are or what we become. Essentially we are really similar, as we are all human.

Lol. This is the 7th react video to this song and I shed a tear each time. 🤷‍♂️ Lol. I am 52 by the way. Great react!

I'm the same. Can't hear this song without crying.

My favorite slow dancing song- so many lovely memories of this- tears coming down.

Agreed... music has always been the Universal connection

AGREE!!

What a great comment

I know!! I just love these kids!

So true. Nothing like passing on a treasure to a new generation. . .

Yes! Exactly! They sing it like they MEAN it.

I AGREE 100%! I’m about to google some more!!!!

YES!!!

Definitely brings tears to my eyes hearing this. I never saw this video.

Auto tune is a sin to music. If you can't sing, dont be faking it with some auto tune. Most people who sing nowadays are not true artists.

Actually 4 octave. He gained another note years later. He did a solo album at Muscle Shoals that has some great songs. He knew how to use his voice and the mike wonderfully. Very glad to see the real singers being discovered by the younger generation hungry for real music.

@@audreymai2773 Think you have that backwards. Most artists aren't true singers or musicians.

It is a TV studio, The Andy Williams show.

Right there with ya..

Yes! I had the same reaction.

I am 'Young' lol, this classic song is in my heart

I thought I was getting soft, Speed your love to me. Kills it, never breaks a sweat RIP Bobby

Im fully on with you there. I’m only 44 but this is the music I listened to I’m my youth

Haha, yes! This is me....

Yup!!! This is the most raw reaction you guys 🌿🌺🌿

Right!

I agree A Very Special Brother🤗

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Did they like it? Meaning you also. Stupid ? when I know the answer. thank you for your service. My son is also Army.

That is pretty cool! Was it an instant hit? It's probably my top five favorite songs ever and I'm 23 !

Great memory thanks for sharing..

albertzappa I am 73 and loved them. They played at Pendleton when they were first starting out and the black soldiers would yell out “that’s righteous man’” and that is how they got their name. They were considered blue eyed soul. They played up and down the so cal coast until they hit.

I was in Vietnam in 65 with the 1st Air Cav when this song would play on the radios at the base camp/s.

Same with me..had tears rolling down my cheeks with this reaction 😂😂😂

Oh ya! I love these young men! So rewarding to experience these songs through their eyes.

Hooked & subbed! Love these reactions!

You are just adorable!

Agreed, and that video is my favorite

I'm hooked. The young man's obvious joy upon hearing all sorts of music is bringing me joy.

Its a band from the 50s He was the lead singer. Unfortunately je passed away about 6 months ago. But good ear my brother it is truly one of the best of all time.

@@christinacrowley3631 me too!

Me too. LMAO

@@ellenlewis9860 me also. Can see that he is amazed! So much music in the world. No color no hatred. JUST LOVE!

Same here.

He truly appreciates talent

@@aweirdperson.864 yess, he sincerely expressed appreciation and his awe of Bobby's talents. Good review.

Yes Sir. One Of The Greatest. There's Also More By Bobby As A Soloist Artist. Bill Medley Isn't Left Out Of This Either He Too Was A Great Soloist As Well. As A Duo They Were Fantastic. RIP Bobby And Thanks For Your Songs, Your Awesome Voice And All The Memories You Left Us. We Love And Miss You. 🙏💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Was called Talent

Actually I heard this mike is better most current mikes

I had no idea...Thank you!

Cool info about the name thanks!

Love this info ❤️!

actually - Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, to be correct... ;)

Cool info, I love historical trivia

James Lenny sorry for your loss❤️

Me too James, my Mom died over 20 years ago and I always think of her when I hear this song. It gets easier, but will always reach that place in your heart.

Diana Arneson same!

@dianaarenson I agree!! I see an acclaimed music critic in the making. Definitely one who I'd pay attention to. He's helping me open up my mind and broaden my horizons as much as he's doing himself.

His openness and wonder just give me so much joy.

Diana Arneson Because he shows his soul when he hears this beautiful music 🙏🏼✨🙏🏼 He is Pure 😍🥰😍

What’s this kid’s name? Love these videos but he is totally my favorite!

God this is so true. Maybe someday.

Let's make it TODAY -- why not? Can be done, I'm game. . .✌️

Good music is also timeless. It is something that has the power to bind us all.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@lisawood I'm on board!!

Not really brothers. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley(yes Bill Medley from that song from Dirty Dancing)

It was written and performed long before Ghost. But yes it was in the movie

@Thomas Gow Thanks, I didn't know that 👍

Originally written for the 1955 prison drama Unchained. Recorded by opera singer/actor Todd Duncan for the movie. Sung by Al Hibbler among others before Bobby Hatfield got to sing it.

@@mayloo2137 wow, interesting!! I did see it was written in '55 but I did not know the rest. And I only saw that the other day as I was going through videos. I saw a video of a really talented young girl singing it, and someone said it was the best they ever heard, but I had to wonder if they'd heard this because it is PHENOMENAL and the best in my opinion

I discovered them the same way. They're absolutely wonderful and they make me feel great.

me too! I mean i'm not old old but 60's 70's 80's good music! I think this idea they started is brilliant keep the old music alive.

oh my god that was my first one too!

That's the one that hooked me too.

True to that. Once i saw the Phil Collins one it got me, hook , line & sinker. Love you boys xo

Same😂😂😂😂

I get chills every time.

Yes, fun to watch his meltdown just like I've done every time I've heard it over the decades..

I first heard this song when Elvis Presley sang it. The song has a lovely melody & words.

Hey, I had a car with an eight-track player. That’s how old I am! Lol

@@sneakersheik2418 Me, too! Boy, 8 track tapes sure were a pain to deal with but pure gold when you were somewhere without radio reception.

I didn’t know until today.

Me too! Haha

I say it too :)

Actually it was lip synched. He has a great voice but unfortunately, NOT live.

glaxo welcome well sir it says on all videos of it Live! So there is that!

@@glaxowelcome1907 ... Actually, you're wrong. Bobby Hatfield is singing LIVE here. Definitely NOT lip synched .

@@geraldfarr8279 Really? What "proof" do you have of that? I actually like the song, his voice and the recording but I can also tell that it is not live. If you read my full reply above, you will see my basis for my statement. I have been the sound engineer on hundreds of performances. I know how things are technically done to record something. Just out of curiosity, how many performances were you ever the sound or recording engineer for? Did you even listen to the link that I provided at the end of my reply where they are actually singing live? Can't you tell the difference? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9aAn7eEprycaaM.html So, do you have anything to actually back up your statement or is it just an unsupported claim?

@@glaxowelcome1907 ... You've got it backwards, buddy. All of the videos of this performance say it's LIVE. It is YOU who has to provide evidence that it isn't. And your link is absolutely worthless. That's a performance from the '80s. Bobby wasn't the singer in the '80s he was in the 1960s. Not only was he older but he also had some demons (drugs and alcohol) that got the better of him. So it's up to you. Let's see your "proof" that this performance was not Live.

I'm a Navy Brat myself. Yes this was played a lot even though she raised us listening to mostly country music.

It's crazy to think honestly. Compared to any acts today he is light-years ahead

You’re right! Don’t think anyone could come close to him. Performance a Masterpiece.

Actually it was lip synched. He has a great voice but unfortunately, NOT live.

That was fun watching your reaction to this song 😂😘

@@glaxowelcome1907 yes it's live. It differs from the recorded version

Which was in the movie Top Gun.

6Kat They already did.

Especially in the TOP GUN scene !

You"ve lost that lovin feelin

You'Ve lost yhe lovin feeling

Try janis Joplin, me and Bobby mcgee 🤘👌

So very handsome xoxoxos

That cheeky little grin said, nailed it! ❤

Hi Brandy, I was so sad when Bobby died in 2005 (I think) from a drug overdose .

Brandy Yep, I find that grin really sexy! In fact I find the whole of Bobby Hatfield sexy ❤️ With a fabulous voice too, I adore him singing this song. This is Bobby’s song & always will be. He died way too soon in 2003 aged only 63 😢

Great song. Beautiful voice.

Me too. I was 12 years old when that song came out and it still sounds great.

There were many babies made to this song!!!!

This song will never get old. It's one of the best love songs ever created

I love you so much!! You are terrific!

Me too!

Me too! The reactions are so PURE and RAW! So glad he appreciates the TREASURE that was Bobby Hatfield. I can't stop watching them cuz they are making me fall in love again with songs I ALREADY adore. And these two just make me HAPPY!

I totally agree women melt when they hear this song and version

This was his song. Anything else was a cover

My favorite cover of this is Air Supply’s, but I still prefer the original

@@knoxboyd5150 The original was performed in the movie "Unchained", hence the title of the song, originally performed by Todd Duncan.

YES IT WAS!!! THEY WERE A DUO!!!

I imagine him listening to tunes in the 1960's and thinking, "oh, so nobody is dropping a melody like I got in my head? Wait until they get a load of me". And he drops 'Unchained Melody' on the world like an OG.

Yes I get goosebumps too EVERY time i hear it it is also the most recorded by different people and holds records by being at or close to the top of the charts several times but I agree Bobby is by far the best my friend.. have a great day.

Yes, I feel he has been neglected sadly.

One of my favorite songs ever, his voice was amazing and his range...wow! Roy Orbison is so underrated

The version with K.D. Lang singing with Orbison.

westzed23 Kd Lang would blow his mind.

Roy Orbison Fan Club Assemble NOW!

Yep! And if you remember a wonderful episode of The Wonder Years. Always brings a tear.

Gary Pucket and Union Gap, also called blue eyed soul.

Just saying -- back in the day, they used lots of playback when recording. Not to say they weren't great singers, just that on TV, where these recordings come from, they used playback and that's why you don't see the signs of effort.

That’s it! I was thinking Dirty Dancing.

There's a good chance he's never seen Ghost.
