Y’all show love to my new reaction channel❤️ youtube.com/@JayVee147

this man said "I love high notes" 40 seconds into the performance....I knew right then and there, he was in for a ride lmao....nobody will ever do this song as well as Bobby did it. RIP Bobby Hatfield.

NO singer today can sing like that.

Dear Daveeezy, thank you for letting this 72-year-old white grandmother connect with you, a young black man, in the love for Bobby Hatfield. If only everybody in the US could hear this song, nobody could tear us apart.

So true, not many romantic love songs now. Such a loss for young people.

Live performance. No auto tunes. No second take. His parents were in the audience and he had a cold. RIP Bobby Hatfield. He passed away in 2003. A few weeks after The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame.

My era, we had the BEST music ever.

That was a master class in vocal excellence. I say that as a trained singer....that guy had *everything* under control, and looked gorgeous doing it.

I love seeing young people discover just a small amount of the music that raised us.Yep,the music raised me,and it was exceptional

I was 10 years old in 1965, now 67 and I love seeing the younger generations enjoying and appreciating this beautiful performance and what an amazing talent he was : )

I’m a 69 year old grandmother! You were born in the wrong generation ! So glad you are rediscovering the music of my days! So lovely beautiful and tender!

Oh, God! Your reaction!!! I just loved it! This is my generation when music was beautiful and real. Thank you for doing this one. It was my husband and my song.

Bobby and Bill were the kings of "blue eyed soul" ❤❤

The Righteous Brothers were the hottest act in the mid-sixties. They had 22 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and three albums on the top 20 simultaneously. Their first hit, 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling'. Was the most played song of the 20th century and well into the 21st, and is listed in the Library of Congress as 'culturally significant'.

This is the song women love to slow dance to with that someone special…so blessed to have grown up with this kind of music…and men dressing so impeccably…

The late Bobby Hatfield. His voice was so awesome when he sang this song. I was 15 yrs old when he sang this song. His talent was very awesome when he sang other songs. RIP Bobby! We miss your beautifull voice!

And that wasn't even falsetto fir Bobby. That was his natural vocal range. He was a countertenor which are rare especially outside of the opera world.

And as he ended the song with that amazing soaring beyond normal range, he looked as if he was not straining at all!!!

If you want to be really, really blown away, check the song "Summertime" from this same guy, Bobby Hatfield

That was Bobby Hatfield. Bill Medley is the other brother, though they're not brothers. I love Bobby's cover of "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess.

Bobby Hatfield oozing with talent,emotion and soul not to mention his dash of charm at the end. So happy they did solos to showcase their individual talent. Nice reaction thank you so much. Check it Bobby's Summertime,My Prayer or Come on for other solo performances.

Great reaction to the late GREAT Bobby Hatfield..he did this one solo..Listen next to 'You've lost that loving feeling' and you'll see the other one..Love from London ❤🇬🇧 oh yeah nice shirt 😊

The studio version of this song (which appeared in the film 'Ghost') was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his mother was in the audience watching him sing professionally for the first time and he suffered from stage fright.

Bobby Hatfield ( Who you just listened to ) and Bill Medley were The Righteous Brothers. ""You've lost that lovin' feelin' "", was a huge hit....also Soul and Inspiration...enjoy ☺

Want to get blown away? React to Summertime (live). Bobby's gift is unparalleled. I can't get enough of his amazing voice - not to mention he is so handsome. ❤

Beautiful isn't it !? there is just two brothers Check "YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING" The two of the are just amazing and I'm pretty sure your going to like it too👍👍

The best version . RIP Bobby Hatfield .

So happy to see a young man appreciate the beauty. I could be your grandmother, & this came out when I was 6. Warning, though, the record isn't nearly as good. I still get chills at this version. PS...some black people gave the group it's name.

Old man & remember this when released. & I love your reaction. Thank you. It's also a message to today's young who want to be tomorrows superstars. The message is: watch it again. No flashing lights, props, dancers, back up singers, costumes, or gimmicks, nothing. A singer & a mic. & It's all you need. If you think you need more, watch it again.

Pure talent! Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest!!!! I grew up with this, The Temptations, The Bee Gees, The Beatles ..... all the greats! The "other brother", Bill Medley, didn't think this would be a hit so he opted out of this song! The did a gig one night when they were starting out and someone said, "That's righteous, Brother" and hence the name, The Righteous Brothers!!!!!

This is blue-eyed soul at its finest. And since you've gotten so many wonderful suggestions for more of their songs I'd like to make a suggestion for another artist that's in the same time period "Tom Jones - (It Looks Like) I'll Never Fall In Love Again (The Dusty Springfield Show 5th Sept. 1967)" Nice reaction, thanks for sharing👍🎶

Love your honest reaction! You're diving into a great generation of music.

Terrific appreciation demonstration!

This is an example of what we seniors called “blue eyed” soul back in our day.

Great reaction! If you are interested, there's a longer clip of this performance where both of the "brothers" appear with the host of the show, Andy Williams, and they tell how they got their name. Their voices are so different, but they blend so well. I'm glad you enjoyed this beautiful song. Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley would sing a solo on their albums, so you got to experience their fantastic range. Listen to Bill sing "I Want to Make Love to You" and Bobby's version of "Summertime." You will be blown away.

You've lost that loving feeling is wonderful by them

Yes, please listen to all the songs listed below. Also, add “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Ed Sullivan Show onto the list! You’ll love the ending of this one!

I read his mom was in the audience and he was very shaky and wanted to do his best for her. I think he definitely did that. Please listen to You've Lost That Loving Feeling and also I Just Wanna Make Love to You. Great Righteous Brothers songs. Thanks man. ❤❤

Summertime by Bobby Hatfield😎😎

This was extremely popular in Vietnam among American troops (although I have no idea why… 🤔😉). Most of the time it was played quietly and intimately, most commonly while the serviceman was looking at his wife’s or girlfriend’s picture(s). It was rarely ever blared loudly like rock, CW, R&B, etc. If played in an enlisted or officers’ club, it was subdue the place to silence.

This was Bobby Hatfield he did it solo. The other righteous brother is Bill Medley. Bobby has passed but he made this the song it is today.

Oh my God I love the purity of your reaction! I love watching people discover things they've never seen or heard before

Beautiful music beautiful voice good looking guy what more can I say ❤❤❤

its so lovely to hear a young man see the true beauty : )) My heart sings to music like this : )

When The Righteous Brothers would go into the recording studio to record an album, each of them would sing one song sung solo. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley both wanted to record “Unchained Melody”, which was a song in an obscure 1950s prison film, “Unchained”, that was covered successfully by numerous music artists. They decided to make a coin toss to resolve the issue. Bobby Hatfield won the coin toss. The Righteous Brothers were a California-based singing duo that sang R & B-inspired songs, which the music press called “blue-eyed Soul” music. Their greatest musical success was in the 1960s, with hit songs such as this one, “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”, “Soul And Inspiration”, and others. The Righteous Brothers re-recorded “Unchained Melody” for the “Ghost” Movie Soundtrack, and it also became a hit. The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2003, a few months prior to Bobby Hatfield’s death from a cocaine overdose at the age of 63. Bill Medley is still alive, and still touring. Medley teamed up with Jennifer Warnes to record the hit duet song, “I Had The Time Of My Life” for the “Dirty Dancing”Soundtrack Album in 1987, and the song won Medley his only Grammy Award of his career.

The Righteous Brothers was the first concert I attended nearly 60 years ago.❤️ If you want to see why they were referred to as " blue eyed soul" listen to them sing You've Lost That Loving Feeling, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Summertime, Justine, Little Latin Lupe Lu, any of their performances on Shindig.

Righteous Bros first "blue eyed soul'!! Bob Hatfield sang unchained melody his 'bro' is Bill Medley. Try You've lost that loving feeling". Love them😅

That little smile at the end when he knew he delivered a flawless performance, says it all. He knew he nailed it. His mama was in the audience that night, and you just know she was bursting with pride listening to her boy!

The Righteous Brothers are countertenor, Bobby Hatfield, the guy who sang Unchained Melody, and bass-baritone, Bill Medley. Throughout their career the did duets and solos. You asked where they're from: Southern California, Orange county. Bobby Hatfield could sing anything in any genre and make it his, a vocal virtuoso.

I had to smile all the way through at your reactions. Great video. It made me cry a little when you said maybe you were born at the wrong time. I'm grateful for the memories I have of how life was at that time.

Loved your reaction 😀 I recommend you listen to them singing You've lost that loving feeling, it's the live black and white version. I think it's either 1964 or 1965 x They sound amazing together x

Best rendition ever, live, nightclub, small audience, tiniest mike on earth, nailed it,, and hit every vocal of the spectrum damn near. You get what it was like when people sang for love, I wish you could have experienced it…

The 1960s, 70s and 80s was the golden age of popular music.(I first heard this song in 1965 as a child and have loved it ever since.) The generations after missed out on so much! At least you can catch some of that music on You Tube. As an Aussie I suggest you react to our most fabulous singer, John Farnham (who can also hit the high notes and is a counter-tenor like Bobby, here). If you like love songs then you'll thoroughly enjoy, 'Burn For You,' co-written by John Farnham, performed LIVE with his band and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

Timeless treasure of mankind🙏

Bill Medley is baritone and Bobby Hatield is tenor. They sing YOU VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING together and their voices just blend. Check out that song too.

My grandma used to call this kind of music baby making music. There are two, Bobby Hatfield sang this solo, the other half is Bill Medley.

This was medium level talent display by Bobby so Listen to Bobby Rip his talent in his solo "Summertime", Ebb Tide and My Prayer and With Bill in, "You'll never walk alone." and on and on!

We, that experienced this music when it first came out, were really privileged. Bobby Hatfield singing this, still gives me chills and I'm 80 years old.

The Righteous Brothers are Bill Medley (not in this video) and Bobby Hatfield (who performed Unchained Melody SOLO). They're from southern California and were the opening act on The Beatles first American tour. Then they became one of the house groups on ABC-TV's primetime series "Shindig!" where they gained most of their national recognition. "Unchained Melody" was about their fourth or fifth hit single. To hear the two of them together, I suggest you listen to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." They are magical together. And "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" is another great one. But nobody ever does a reaction to their first big hit, "Little Latin Lupe Lu," which Bill wrote, and became a mainstay song in every rock 'n roll cover band's repertoire in the '60s. That's right, these two also did rock and roll. Maybe the best duo to come out of the rock era of popular music. Also, the reason why the audience was so "chill" is because this was taped in a network television studio for NBC-TV's primetime series, "The Andy Williams Show," a musical variety show hosted by, well, Andy Williams, who was one of the older generation's favorite crooners (and one helluva talent in his own right). Since the audience was there to watch a TV show being taped in the controlled environment of a TV studio, you can bet they were briefed ahead of time to sit quietly, except when they were applauding at the beginning and end of each performance. That said, it's fair to say that in the 1960s, audiences understood they were there to WATCH AND LISTEN to performances, not inject themselves into the performance and become a part of it like the unruly assholes we have in modern society nowadays routinely do.

You know good music !! I listened to them back in the day. I'm 68 and still love them 😊

This is from 1965. It's what used to be called Blue-Eyed Soul. You bet there's no autotune here! Just a man with a beautiful tenor voice giving one of the most iconic live performances ever captured on tape. Bobby Hatfield (the man doing the vocal gymnastics here) was 25 years old and knows he is knocking it out of the park! May he rest in peace. So happy we have beautiful recordings like this one!

The original song "Unchained Melody" was written and composed in 1955 for a prison movie called "Unchained*. It was originally sung by the first African American Opera Singer, Mr. Todd Duncan. As time went on it has had a little over fifteen hundred recordings of it with about six hundred and seventy artists singing it in multiple languages. It was the most played song in all of America and throughout the UK in the Twentieth Century. Among the artists also was Kinda Ronstadt and also Elvis Presley. The song came out also in several more movies especially in one of my favorites in 1990 called 'Ghost". Starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. Since they wanted the very best version of anybody singing it in 1965 that was on The Andy Williams Show back in the day. And needless to say it was Mr. Bobby Hatfield of a duo called "The Righteous Brothers. Though Mr. Bobby Hatfield was not a Opera singer the only other person that at the time had a "perfect pitch" was a beautiful lady called Mariah Carey. Though she did not sing that particular song. The kind of sound that The Righteous Brothers had is what was labeled, "Blue Eyed Soul" and with good reason. Through the years we have learned that for one reason or another, they just don't write or sing very many Beautiful Romantic Love Songs like this anymore. It is truly everlasting and well worth listening to especially when one is in love and it is for real. I really enjoyed listening to it once more and not from a studio but from a "LIVE" performance. I really appreciate you playing it young man. Have a Blessed Evening. Adios.

Loved your reaction I subscribed. If want more from them do what others have written.they have many good ones another group to ck out is grand funk rail road live 1969 inside looking out.

Ah ... 1965; "It Was A Very Good Year" for Sinatra & me. I was just turning 10 and was gleefully smothering in all the great music that filled the airwaves.

I truly love young people reacting to the Righteous Brothers' music and the absolute beauty in their singing with a depth that makes it even more beautiful. The era in which this song was realized was in the Vietnam War. Young men were drafted as soon as they turned 18 and sent to fight in a brutal war that changed their views on life. To be young and in love meant the boyfriend was going to war, 💔 He's asking his girl to wait for him to return, but many sadly didn't return. The song "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Darrin was another popular song that was also extremely popular. Sad times for America then.

David Ruffin is the man. My favorite vocalist ever.

This is the late great Bobby Hatfield. Check out his live version of Summertime. You won't be disappointed!

"Summertime" (also sung by Bobby) will completely knock your socks off.

I just love your reactions! They are so honest and passionate! I graduated in 1964, so I have the joy of listening to the righteous brothers as a teenager and I love them as much now as I did then Try to listen to Bobby’s, summertime, and Bill and Bobby’s, you’ve lost that loving feeling, you’ll never walk alone, I just want to make love to you. You’ll love this as much as you love unchained Melody!❤

Please notice his vocal control and his ability to not breathe.... love love love them both.

Thanks--from this 70 year old lady who remembers this song like the back of her hand. 1965 was already seeing casualties from Vietnam (my bro died there in 1966), and many of us could relate the song to the war. The Righteous Brothers were Bobby Hatfield (singing here) and Bill Medley--who had a very deep voice. Some black dudes gave them their name "The Righteous Brothers" after hearing them perform and told them that they were righteous, brothers. I remember watching this very tv program the night he performed solo! ❤❤ 😮

Yo Daveeezy! Love your reaction to Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody!

They agreed that each of them would do a solo record on each album and this was his…huge huge hit

That loving feeling, was my favorite

Unchained Melody was “our song”. I get tender and teary whenever I hear it.

I"ve listened to at least 75 reactions to this fantastic song!! Your's was amazing! Thank you so much 💗💗

Loved your reaction to this performance.

I love watching hip hop and rap fans experience real voices singing real music for the first time. Their expressions are priceless!

I have seen other Reactions to this song. Yours is easily my favourite!

They were called blue-eyed soul Bobby Hatfield the one that just sang Bill medley was the other was singer with that is with together they are the righteous Brothers absolutely terrific if you would play soul and inspiration is another great one

I derive a great deal of enjoyment witnessing others experience these past artists. I had just become a teenager when this performance was aired on the Andy Williams Show. My parents were big fans, and we had but one TV, so... I had already heard then on the local radio. We had one AM station that played music other than CW. Anyway, I saw that performance when it aired and was blown away. I knew this was something special. I never dreamed almost 50 years later it would have the same impact on other hearing it for the first time. An upside to growing old, I suppose.

I heard that this was the first time Bobby's mom heard him sing for live audience. Check out Bill and Bob next, singing "you've lost that loving feeling" for the full RIGHTEOUS BROS. experience ♥️💞

I was 15 in 1965. I loved Bobby. Best wishes from Scotland

"Purely in love" Yes! : )

A Genuine appreciative lad you are. Congratulations and enjoy Bobby Hatfield's wonderful thoughtful expressive 🎶 😊❤

YOU GOT IT! Back in the Day, THEY WAS IN LOVE! TY for this…I so enjoy watching others like you enjoying it…I lived it! ❤❤❤😊😊😊You got my SUBSCRIBE Honey & I’m 69 yr old female!

That's how it makes me feel too. There were two "brothers" but the other one didn't have a part for this. They said back when they had no name they played down in the south and someone said "That's righteous, brother!" And that's where their name came from.

“Unchained Melody” is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (January 1955), hence the song title.

You just made my day. So fun to watch you react to this. Thank you!

Not many people in all these years have had a voice like Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. He could sing much higher than many women, strong and effortlessly, and still sounding masculine.

Bobby Hatfield sang "Unchained Melody" solo. Get ready to be blown away when Bill Medley joins him for "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7WejLxqst2Wdps.html

Songs back then told a story ❤

When the Righteous Brothers recorded an album, right from the beginning they agreed to have each one have a solo on the album. Unchained Melody was Bobby Hatfield's solo from I think their 2nd album. This song was actually written in 1955 for a prison movie titled "Unchained" , hence the title Unchained Melody. There are some 1700 recordings by many people. Theirs is by far the best arrangement,vin my opinion.

At the end,he smiled and but his lip. He knew he had nailed it!

The original of this video has the intro that explains the other member of the duo didn't sing on this one thinking it wasn't going to be a hit. But yes there are two and they were amazing! This is the THE TIMELESS CLASSIC of all their music do to Hatfields vocal range.

The Righteous Brothers! One of my favorites from the time and yes I’m from that generation. And I really enjoyed your reaction to Bobby’s finest.

Look up " you've lost that loving feeling " both brothers sing in that one. Hold on to your seat.

love your reaction...Bobbie Hatfield 'made' that song (not saying he wrote it - he didn't) but no one since then comes close to what he did!

I watched this when it aired. Impressive. As near as I can work the math, my brother was born nine months after this song came out. Songs like this are why people got married back then, why they dedicated themselves to each other. There are no songs like this today.

You don’t need autotune when you have pure talent. I love watching young people being blown away by the music of “my day”! The original studio version came out earlier and was a big hit. But this more dramatic version blew me away! Somehow, I had never seen this video until it popped up on my phone 3 years ago and I’ll turn 79 in less than a month. Google the Righteous Brothers. Bring up the complete video, which shows both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley chatting with Andy Williams on his show before Bobby sings.
