The witty Bill responded, "'Cause I didn't think anyone was going to like it." In another interview, somebody asked him, "Where were you when Bobby was singing this?" to which Bill replied, "Back in a corner, kicking myself." Love your reactions to this music!

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

Thing is, as we all know, the appearance has nothing to do with what tumbles out when the singer opens their mouth... many blacks thought this was a black group no idea it was a couple of white duded learned to sing in the clubs in the south... and well, they have great voices. And no one sings like this, live no auto tune anymore. Very few can. These guys had some Mowtown influences obviously. But it is same as when you get a great black singer singing Opera, Marion Anderson for example, and you kind are amazed because it is the voice...and you aren't expecting it when it tumbles out. Luke Taylor anyone (go look him up, looks like a cherub voice like Darth Vader, LOL). Voices come from the heart and the soul, and you are blessed or not in that respect. These guys have great voices, breath control etc. They are iconic. Just like little Richard, Elvis, Marvin Gaye and the like..those guys could sure sing like this... cold.

It's about time that this song and singer were appreciated by all. It is a beautiful piece of music that has stood the test of time otherwise it would not have been used in the film Ghost. What I like is the expressions and reactions of the younger ones when they hear this song and Bobby's voice. Also the older songs tell a story unlike a lot of today's songs which appear to be a constant chorus only. Also there are no amps, or auto cues, in fact, no technology apart from one microphone and the filming of him. Most singers these days need so much technology they get lost in it and some of them would not have the career they have because without technology their voices would not be very good. 🇦🇺🇦🇺😷😷👏👏👏👏👏

Oh, let's be clear. My kids complain about modern day music, lol! My oldest is 22 and loves Rush, Queen, Boston and Yes, and my 18 year old son gets irritated because I have a fit if he reminds me of pop songs that were popular during my teens because I don't want the flashbacks. But this is how I raised them and they're pretty discontent with most modern pop music. That said, if you look past pop, you'll find good, new music, often made by smaller acts that self-produce their work. Some of my favorite bands don't have a record label. So my kids are listening to old stuff and I'm listening to Cage the Elephant and the Correspondents. Point is, you can't just assume all music sounds like what record companies tell you is music. Though none of it really holds up to this song. He just sings it the way you'd pump gas, like this is just something that is the easiest, most routine thing ever.

Modren day Elvis would have a tick toc and his own KZfaq channel and be able to record high quality in his bedroom.

To see your reaction gives me hope that there are more young people, like you out, there that are discovering what pure talent is. Keep up the great work. I moved to Australia (from England) as a 15 yr old and discovered there were some really talented singers here too. If you want to hear some Aussie Soul, check out a video of Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham singing "When something is wrong with my baby". I would love to see your reaction to that one.

This is Bobby Hatfield, and Bill Medley was great also. Bobby won the coin toss to do this as a solo. He was not the first to do this song, but he made it his own. It was featured in the movie "Ghost" You are right, no dubbing or auto tune. Pure talent!

Great reaction and really loved your enjoyment of this incredible song that's incredibly difficult to perform...at least like he does ;)

Went to see Meat Loaf in Cardiff, and at the interval going for drinks, this young twelve ish year old girl walked out with her mother. I was chatting and said 'but you weren't even born when he first hit the big time' Her reply was, 'We just don't have anyone like him now' And that was around 2006, I think. So the circle keeps going round. Different music, but the same raw talent.

I saw them in Vegas in the early 90's. Mr Hatfield sang this song and there was not a dry eye in the house. When he finished and the applause died down, Mr Medley said, "That's a song that don't get no damn easier to sing." LOL !! Always wonderful. Enjoyed watching your reaction! 👍

@lavinamontoya8164 Жыл бұрын

You have just experienced pure raw, untainted talent. A well dressed man with his microphone. Bobby had a rare voice with which he could touch people's soul. He had a soft heavenly voice that melted hearts and provoked a wide range of emotions that left people stunned, speechless much like you experienced listening to him. Emotions can be difficult to explain sometimes specially if they run deep. Love your genuine reaction, the vivid expressions of your face, your lack of words to explain what Bobby's interpretation of this song provoked in you. He touched your soul. He made this song immortal, many artists before and since sang this song but Bobby's interpretation was and still is by far the best (at least according to me anyways although I'm sure I'm not alone in this). I have grandchildren about your age and possibly older than you and this was the music I grew up with. Now I am enjoying the much younger generation rediscovering this gems and feeling the same we felt every time we heard them back then. Much love ❤️❤️❤️

Best of the male-reaction videos to this cover. One suggestion, if I may: all of the reaction videos are so impressed by what Bobby does at the near-end, that they talk over his stunning ending. I liked so much that you would rewind a bit, that really helps to hear the full music. And it would be great for listeners to do that at the end. Bobby Hatfield is hitting an E5 when everyone is so amazed and starts talking. However, he continues to rise with music, hitting an F5, F#5, and finally ending on G5 (maybe even slightly sharp?), an insane range when you consider the lowest note was C4. 20-note range in this key, all musically sensible, none for show. Amazing.

@mosart7025 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that's the thing... he's selling the song and the emotion, not how amazing he is and "I can do this, this and now, listen to this!". It seems like he's not trying, because he isn't trying to just belt at the top of his voice and include every trick he knows. I like your "musically sensible" phrase.

@thekingsdaughter4233 3 жыл бұрын

I am not very good at music theory, so the other day, out of sheer curiosity, I pulled out my soprano recorder and played the end by ear. That's exactly what I came to, and I couldn't believe it! :-) When/if _I_ sing, my voice range is second alto (I can reach first tenor if need be). Haven't touched this high a note since I was a girl!

@sharonmowat6649 3 жыл бұрын

He had a 4 octave range back then. He figured he had added another note when it was done for Ghost 25 years later. I believe this episode of the Andy Williams Show was recorded in Dec 64 so both Bill and Bobby would have been 24. There is another gem with them and Andy from the same show.

@thewiseoldherper7047 3 жыл бұрын
