He and his partner agreed to do one song solo on each album and this was his…major hit! So blessed to have grown up with this music…

His mother was in the audience that night and that was the first time she's seen him on stage

There was no singer in the 20th century or even now that could have a voice anywhere near that of Bobby Hatfield. He was magical, and his performance was a masterpiece.

Live performance. He had a cold and his mom was in the audience. No pressure. They each did solos in their performances. This was and, forever will be, Bobby Hatfield's song. No auto tunes. The Righteous Brothers were referred to as Blue-Eyed Soul. This song was used in the movie "Ghost". It was originally written for a movie in 1955 "Unchained".

BEST REACTION EVER! GLAD YOU APPRECIATE A GREAT SONG AND GREAT TALENT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE BAND THAT OPENED FOR THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS IN PHOENIX MANY YEARS AGO. THANK YOU!

Written for the (1955) Prison Movie "Unchained." It was composed by Multi-Academy Award Winning Composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret. Ten years later in (1965) on the 'Andy Williams Show.' Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers and the Andy Williams Orchestra gave one of the greatest live television performances ever in the history of live television. This was a live television performance done 57 years ago before auto tune, and before computer or electronic enhancement. The rest as they say is history.

That was Bobby....always soulful and passionate, putting everything into his music. He was a newlywed, singing to his wife, Joy. Bobby was an amazing counter- tenor, could go from Baritone renge to G5 or higher. No falsetto. He passed away in 2003, age 63, 8 months after the Righteous Brothers were inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame. Bill was a great Bass-Baritone. Together they were unbelievable. Bill is still performing at the age of 82. Bobby is sorely missed. But he left us a legacy of amazingly beautiful music.

So in other words my man hit those notes effortlessly...like no one else..a true legend

NO COMPUTERS... NO SYNTHESIZERS...NO LIP-SYNCING... PURE TALENT AND PURE LIVE VOICE!!!!

No auto-tune back in the day...just pure talent!

This song was written for a prison movie- listen to it again knowing it's a guy inside singing to his girl he hopes is waiting for him. Oh, and that last smile? His mother was in the audience, and he knew he'd hit the note.

OMG the late Bobby Hatfield! I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show. No auto tune, just pure raw talent! RIP Bobby! We miss your beautiful voice! You need to play the Brothers music! They had lots of hits in the 60's.

Bobby Hatfield owned this sing! He made it look easy and he was sick too! Most singers do make faces when they sing those notes bc they are straining to hit them. Bobby didnt have to strain to hit those notes! His range and breath control was amazing! You should check out "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" both Bobby & Bill sing that one.

Brother Bobby Hatfield owns this song!!! He has natural blue eyed soul!! After this try "you've lost that loving feeling " Brother Bill Medley is there

The expression on your face as you listen to a genre of my time is priceless. I was 17 in 1965. Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing. Stay safe young man.

I love watching the "younger generation " watch the singers of days gone by

That song was done as a SOLO. Bobby nailed it. You gotta check out their other songs ....NO BAD SONGS with these guys!!!!! Pure TALENT is all you get.

I lived 20 miles from him growing up. He's a couple years older. He is the best!

You’re right. He nailed it, effortlessly.❤

Bobby Hatfield don't make no stink face when he sings. He's the GOAT for Unchained Melody ballad singers of all the others who did this song

Bobby was a tenor, but he has incredible control and tremendous range. One of the best.

Great reaction! Thank you. I remember when the Righteous Brothers first his the airwaves. I am 77 years old. To this day, whenever I hear Bobby Harfield sing this, I am moved to tears and the good chills. Heavenly sound.

Your reaction was priceless!

He sang this solo....both were mega talented. RIP Bobby...was born in the right era..was 12 in 1965...still makes me teary everytime I hear this song.

There is two singers but he is doing solo. You can feel his voice in your soul.

Anyone can sing a song and show you how hard they're working at it. When a true artist delivers a song it looks effortless.

Blue eyed soul at it's finest.

I can hardly wait to see your reaction to You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'. You're gonna love it.

You probably know by now with 84 comments, that’s the righteous Brothers got their name, so it’s sad, when they were at a gig in the south. They had finished with the tune, and someone jumped up and yelled out, “ righteous, brother”. They both have solo performances in different tunes/songs. Most of the time they harmonize together flawlessly.

Great reaction to one of the BEST ever LIVE performances of ALL TIME!!!👍😍🥰🔥

I was absolutely absorbed watching this guy reaction to this out of the world performance by Bobby!!!!! Like Sherlock Holm’s said to Dr.Watson: you know John, maybe you are not luminous yourself, but you are a great conductor of light. This reaction is so precious and sincere. He immersed into Bobby’s voice and became voice himself. Love the guy. He has a talent of reflecting feelings and emotions. He is an empath!!!!!!! Very rare feature nowadays. He lived through the whole performance. Watching him was as amazing as watching and listening to the voice of Bobby - great and moving experience. I am so grateful to him for his reaction.

The beginning of the video was not shown. Pull up The Righteous Brothers on the Andy Williams Show

Love your enthusiasm and your reaction is right on!

I LOVED WHEN YOU GOT UP AND DANCED AROUND THE ROOM WITH YOUR RESPONSE TO THE SONG

Love your reaction!!! Bobby was blue eyed soul!!!

Brothers, sisters, groups often have solo songs, thats normal and usual when all of them can sing very good!

This was on the Andy William's Show on Valentine's Day. His finance was in the audience. Young and so handsome Bobbie Hatfield at the peak of his exquisite voice. Women would melt when he sang, both men and women would drip tears. This song is about a very, very rare love, ~ Romeo & Juliet type of love. It has been said that Bobbie Hatfield had a vocal range that spanned an unusual four octaves, sliding seemly effortlessly from deep baritone to falsetto high C. I have no words that are vivid enough to describe how his voice makes me feel when listening to Unchained Melody.

EPIC PERFORMANCE BRO

OMG, I'm dyin'! That's one of the funniest reactions to anything I've ever seen!🤣🤣‼

They were nicknamed the righteous brothers by visiting American airmen who said they sang righteous and sounded like brothers try You've lost that loving feeling to see them both in full flight,oh and they weren't brothers in either sense of the word but they were magnificent.

This is the best reaction I've ever seen to this song . Loved it . Your singing is OK lol . Xx

Live...perfection !

The very best!!!!!!!!!!

Is absolutely fabulous

Man I loved this reaction !! 😂

0:27 well you checked out the short version lol theres another version where Bobby and Billy are talking with the Andy Williams for about a minute or two before he starts singing. RiP Bobby Hatfiled

Thank you for one the most entertaining reactions on the Internet!

Please listen to summertime by Bobby Hatfield The man in this video Its insane😎

Please react to the Righteous Brothers singing “Soul and Insperation”. And You’ve lost that Lovin Feeling. 2 of their big hits

These guys are where the term "blue eyed soul" originated. Bill Medley & Bobby Hatfield were the Righteous Brothers but each also had solo careers. This particular song was one that Bobby had covered prior to meeting up with Medley so he sang it solo even when they performed together. The song was featured in the most romantic scene in the movie "Ghost."

Check out "You've lost that loving feeling" "Soul and inspiration" and "Rock and Roll Heaven"

I LOVED YOUR REACTIONS!! SO FUN. GLAD YOU APPRECIATED BOBBY HATFIELD. Your lady will melt into your arms if you play this for her!!

Check out "You've Lost that Lovin Feeling" another epoch hit with both singing. They were timeless and this song will always be one of my most favorite songs!

He just happened to do this song solo. Mostly, the two men recorded together, but Bobby Hatfield performed this number solo. Check out "You've lost that Lovin' feeling" to see and hear them together. Magical. I was a teenager when they first came on the scene. I am now77 and their sound still send me to the moon. Nobody has equaled them even after all these years. After a while they were described as "blue eyed soul".

I would love, love to see your reaction to Bobby Hatfield singing Summertime. It will blow you away.

The LOOK on your FACE is EVERYTHING 🎊🙌🏾🎋👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻💯‼️‼️‼️Please take care of your DAZZLINGLY SMILE 😁

No Beat back in the day....They knew exactly what they needed to do n they just did it!!!! The other brother was in the back...They sometimes did solo's...This one was Bobbie's.... Fantastic reaction

Bobby was a counter tenor, a very rare voice to be born with in history. He had a 4 and a half to 5 octave range.

Dray said play this for your girl, but if you do she's gonna want Him, Bobby Hatfield instead of you! This is what we played for our girls back in the day and we called it make out music. I grew up in the best time for Soul singers who could actually sing!

Same styling I always loved about Al Green

Do yourself a favor and check out the origin and history of this classic song, to hear some of the 1,500 version of this classic song. You came in the middle of the intro on the "Anndy Williams Show" of this performance. to get the full understanding of what is going on. Bobby Hatfield has the most acclaim and popular version of this song.

Cool, calm, collected is right. Not the usual histrionics when a singer is trying to impress you with their vocal range.

What a fantastic reaction, DrayB.....

Man, when they handed out personality you got back in line a couple of times! Great stuff.

This is Bobby Hatfield his singing partner is Bill Medley.

You need to find the video that includes the short interview that occurs before he starts singing. You will see it is two guys and why he is singing by himself and how they got their name.

Bobby had the soulful voice

Your reaction is great, man!

This is a great song thank you for the video

Loved your reaction🎉

@brk. stimmt ....Sommerzeit, da glänzt Bobby ebenfalls mit Einmaligkeit.❤ Er war sowieso der talentiertere der beiden vom Aussehen gar nicht zu reden.😊😊❤❤❤❤

Bobby Hatfield does Unchained Melody solo. Bill Medley has his solos. And they have songs they sing together.

Your need to check out Bobby Hatfield singing"Summertime" live performance 1965. Bobby will definitely blow your mind with that one with great soulful vocals.

This guy sings this song alone!

Bobby sang this alone. Bill was with Andy Williams in the wings

Excellent reaction. Love when people really “feel” the music & really get into it! 😄 hate seeing reactions when they analyse the song like a science project.

We call it heart ...blue eyed soul !!

Dray, watch the whole clip where Andy Williams introduces them. You'll see why there's only one singing, plus it's a very amusing piece.

He wasn't even trying 😁

You're fine; this is a reaction video. If you don't want reaction, there's an easy solution to that, brothers. 👍 This song is from the perspective of a man who is nearing the end of a prison sentence. Hence the title, "Unchained" melody.

You didn't start the video from the beginning. Bill Medley was there but Bobby Hatfield sings solo on this masterpiece.

First time watching your reaction video, you seem pretty cool

No pitch-correct or AI. That Was his voice, and everyone knew it! The other one is Bill Medley. You'll see him in the next video,

When in Vietnam"65 , I sent this record to my girlfriend to keep her from forgetting me , unfortunately after 2 tours I couldn't care less if she waited.

Righteous Brothers were considered Blue Eyed Soul.

You need to back up this video to show the humorous chat with Bobby, Bill and Andy Williams. It tells how they got their name, Righteous Brothers and Bobby says he sings this by himself. Bill was kidding when he says he didn’t think it was going to be a hit. They had decided to include one solo song on each album and flipped a coin to see who would sing Unchained Melody because they each wanted to sing it. Check out “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” among other duets.

Listen to “You’ve Lost that Lovin Feelin.” Both sing that song together!

This a rare time when only one sings this song.

This video has a prologue which 'splains why only one sings this song. He got you again with it? 'S been gettin' me again for over 60 years Brother... so glad Ya felt it!

This song is from an old movie called Unchained. About a man in prison tempted to escape to be with his love.

That was a solo by Bob Hatfield

Lol ' U is Krazy Dray '

I love you REACTION! 😄😍🥰😏🙌

They first started in 1962 and came out with YOU LOST THAT LOVING FEELING 😮 they play songs from my era, top gun, this song was on it, , I WAS 6 YEARS OLD, but we watched it because i had a 17 year old brother & q5 year old sister, There is 2 but sometimes they sing it separate, I am old enough to see them on tv when they started. Wait until he hits the highest note, ABBA YAH ROMANS 8;15 PSALMS 68;4, gave him this gift. 6:18

Maybe the crowd didn't want to interrupt a perfect performance!

Next try them singing You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. 2 Righteous Brothers.

:) White elders making black kids react!! Glad you have found this awesome music I grew up listening to !! :)

That's what you call panty dropping music

There are two Bobby who is singing and Bill but if you listen to the Righteous Brothers together in You lost that loving feeling or soul and inspiration you will see they both have it Bobby high tone and Bill the lower tone but together they are magical!

You should have watched this version with the actual BEST quality (restored)...as it includes the intro, where you see BOTH of the Righteous Brothers, and Bobby explains that he sings this one solo. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5Z1ddZn2rjLpKs.html
