I am a 77 year old grandmother and when the Righteous Brothers were first heard on the radio, we all thought with that sweet sound, that they were black gentlemen. When they started being seen on television and in concert and we saw them, we were astounded that they were white gentlemen! At some point their style became known as "blue eyed soul". We all got a huge surprise. You reactions are excellent, food for thought. I am proud to become a new subscriber. Best of luck building your channel. Well done, young man. Best wishes to you and your loved ones, from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York State.

This is blue-eyed soul at it’s finest. Such a great, God given voice & talent. 50’s, 60’s and 70’s had some of the most beautiful music.

The Righteous Brothers were known as Blue-Eyed Soul. This song was written in 1955 for the prison movie "Unchained". It was used again in the movie "Ghost". Many artists have sung this song. NOBODY sang it like Bobby Hatfield. RIP Bobby. We had the greatest music back then. The singers could actually sing. They dressed well. Any TV appearances were live. You had one shot to get it right.. His mom was in the audiences and he had a cold. Talk about pressure.

There was no auto-tune at all back in the day-this is all natural talent!

To describe The Righteous Brothers a DJ called their music "Blue Eyed Soul" as many people thought they were black. In 1991 the recorded version became a hit again in the movie "Ghost". So 25 yrs later, They rerecorded it again. Also listen to the videos of both Bill Medley & Bobby Hatfield singing "Soul and Inspiration" and "You'll Never Walk Alone". They were Regulars for 2 yrs on the TV show Shindig and among many songs like their 1st hit "Little Latin Lupe Luu", you'll hear Bobby sing "Summertime", Bill sings "Georgia On My Mind". You will love but won't believe how bluesy the record of "I Wanna Make Love To You" is with Bill singing lead. Record ballads by Bobby called "Ebb Tide" and "Stay With Me Baby" are packed with emotions and the incredible voice of Bobby. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

I'm a 74 year old man and I used to love their songs. I was a slow dancer and they were perfect for that. God Bless

This was just pure talent, no auto tune, no gimmicks.

OMG the late Bobby Hatfield! I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song!!! I have all of their vinyl record albums in my record collection. RIP Bobby! 💖

Bobby Hatfield was 25 years old when he recorded this in 1965. The song however comes from prison movie from 1955 called "Unchained". That's why "time goes by so slowly", as he is wondering if his girl will be waiting for him when he gets out. Many artists have covered this song but I think Bobby's version is the best! Thanks!

Wow....thats So True what You said , about it being about the Artist Vocals, Voice, not the loudness of the instruments, that's Why they HAD to know how to Sing.....never thought about it like that 👍

i'm glad you noticed Bobby's soulful delivery. We had more soul than you know in the fifties and sixties from the Platters, Ray Charles to the Temptations and those in between like the Righteous Brothers. Bobby had a lot of soul to deliver and it shows in many of his performances. Check out 'Bring it on Home' as an example. RIP Bobby Hartfield you are truly missed.

This is the music your grandparents listened to.....it was real.

This song was written for a film called "Unchained", in the last century. This song was written from the perspective of a man in prison, "...and TIME goes by so slowly...wit for me."

This was before auto-tune and all the other hype they add to the music. No added crap in the background. Just pure music. There was an orchestra in the background doing the music with normal instruments. He had amazing control over his voice and there was no strain to reach those notes. They were amazing. You should listen to more of their songs. They had so many hits and they were all amazing. Soul and Inspiration, You've Lost That Loving Feeling, and so many others that were hits. They both did solos and I don't think they knew just how to NOT have a hit song. Listen to some of their songs and you will hear what made them so great. and loved.

Music in the sixties and seventies was magical. ❤️

This is one of the most covered songs in history. Lots of artists have done versions of it. To me and many people Bobby Hatfield's version is the absolute best. Back then you saw live concerts, live tv performances, radio and records. It was more focused on the talent and performance abilities before autotune became a thing in 1996. It was in the movie Ghost.

Bobby is a legend. Born with a god given talent. You can't train anyone to sing like that!

This song is a masterpiece and you didn't even notice Bobby's incredible gift of voice and talented delivery style. He sang 6 OCTAVES in this piece and made it look effortless !!

Music in that time was awesome! Men loved and respected women, didn't refer to them in diragatory terms. They serenaded women in the most respectful ways imagined! Check out I Only Have Eyes by The Flamingos, There Goes My Baby by The Drifters, Stand By Me by Benny E. king, I Want You I Need You I Love You by Elvis Presley. All wonderful love songs!♥️✌️

It was so good they played it three times in the movie Ghost.

This song has been a hit by the same artist twice. First time sang by Bobby Hatfield singing by himself and again by Bobby when it was played in movie GHOST, which is one if my favorite movies. I danced many a step to this song and always brings back great memories and favorite friends.

I was 13 years old when he sang that song😊

Blue eyed soul. He is Bobby HATFIELD and did this song as a solo. His partner Bill MEDLEY....is great too. They are incredible together....each complimenting the other. Two totally different voices!!!!! They were thought to be black by everyone!!!!!! Even got CANCELLED on radio stations when discovered to be WHITE. TRUE STORY.

That time was the best time to grow up. The music was unbelievable and it still is today. It never gets old.

Check out a TV show called Shindig. It was in the 60s. A lot of great music. Remember no auto tune just great love voices and music. Look for " You've Lost That Loving Feeling" sung by both of the Righteous Brothers. It is the most played song of the 20th. century!

Please listen to the Righteous Brothers sing You've Lost That Lovin Feeling, Soul and Inspiration, You'll Never Walk Alone, Ebb Tide, just to name a few. They were fantastic and the songs sooo good. You can't go wrong by listening to a few and I will just about bet that you will want to hear many more. They were amazing.

This song is from the 1955 prison movie "Unchained". The guy is about to be released after 3 years, wondering if his girl is waiting for him.

Blue eyed soul, they were incredible!!!!!!! Check out “You’ve lost that loving feeling” fting both brothers This song is on the Ghost soundtrack with Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg

1990's Ghost!!

This song came out 1965 I was eight years old when this song came out and I still love it you interrupted at least 8 times that I found it instead of listening to the whole song and then getting your reaction and that's too bad cuz you didn't hear it in its entirety without talking for over a minute each time

Great music from real talent and no one got killed. Imagine

This song was written and composed in "1955" "N-O-T" 1965. The performance that you just saw was by Mr. Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers on The Andy Williams("WHITE) man's Show. Anyway a Mr. Hy Zaret, a "WHITE" man" who wrote it with the help of his friend the lyrist, Mr. Alex North who was also a "WHITE" man. It was for a prison movie in 1955 called "Unchained". And it was originally sung by the First African American Opera Singer, a "Mr. Todd Duncan who was indeed a "B-L-AC-k" man.Throughout time the song, "Unchained Melody" has had about 1500 or so recordings and was performed by a little over 670 artists in multiple languages. Yes and including with these artists were a "WHITE" lady named Linda Ronstadt and also a "WHITE" guy named Elvis Presley. "Unchained Melody" was the most played song in all of America and though out the UK in the Twentieth Century. "Unchained Melody" was sung in other movies as well but it was not until "1990" when they came out in a movie called "Ghost" starring a "WHITE" Patrick Swayze,a "WHITE" Demi Moore, and a "BLACK" Whoopi Goldberg" it really, really became big. They wanted the very best so naturally without any question at all, it was Mr. Bobby Hatfield's of the Righteous Brothers that was the absolute best as you have just heard. "Blue Eye Soul". The only person to date with a "Super Perfect Pitch" was the Very Talented and Very Blessed Beautiful "BLACK" Lovely, Mariah Carey. But she has not sung it yet. The Righteous Brothers in my opinion and in the opinion of many others as well in this particularly song "RULED". He killed it. He was and will always be Numero Uno. He sang it the best. He really did. Goodday young man and may God bless you too. Adios. PS: Too bad that it is a real shame that nowadays one does not hear beautiful romantic love songs unless they are from the past. Remember that Stereotyping of whatever and whoever not only sucks big time but really shows our true colors. A person has a soul but a soul has no color. Adios. And the song "Pretty Woman" was sung by a "WHITE" guy Mr. Roy Orbison in 1964. Goodday.

Such a romantic song and Bobby did it the best!

This was some of the greatest music ever

The Blues Brothers were a real group too not only just a movie

Bobby had such an astonish countertenor voice that 25 years later he rerecorded this music to the film so much mentioned here. He can sing smooth and honey or fire 🔥 in Summertime using all his body to enhance the torrid performance ! Greatest male singer of all times ❤. … and ok … you comented a lot but allways apreciating him and all 👏🏼👏🏼

This song was in the movie Ghost(Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze RIP). No autotune back then.

Unchained Melody: Bobby Hatfield live performance. The Andy Williams Show- Episode #4.5 Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965: Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor 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 before 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’. Also: Bobby Hatfield live performance of “Unchained Melody “ on the TV show “Shindig” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rq95qbuK1JutfqM.htmlsi=OmBVdie7xz-GPuIh

This song was in the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Stewart and Demi Moore.

The origin of this song is a movie in the '50s about a guy in prison.

So funny how the brothers always think both of the Righteous Bros were black lol. The other guy did have that Barry White smooth thing going on though, for sure! And this bro is just unbelievable.

Listen to "YOUVE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING" by both bothers (not related).

This song was written in 1955.

You are a good man.

He has Soul

Righteous Brothers:Soul and Inspiration, Ebb Tide, Summertime, Latin Lupe Lu, You'll never walk alone, I want to make love to you.

Please play 'Pretty Woman' by Roy Orbison. He has a distinctive style and a great voice.

GHOST was the movie

Love songs, romantic, excellent singers, classy, respectful of the sexes.

Ghost used this song as their theme.

If you want to hear some unbelievable great music from the 60s, check out Sam Cooke. An especially great voice of a black singer who left us way too soon. She sang many genres.

Ghost!

Hi Musa C ' Great review Bro, The only Movie i can remember this tune in is ' GHOST / Patrick swazye / w Woopie goldberg / Demi moore ' Lol i thought they were Black too !? But i should of known better ' since i was brought up On / T Motown / Soul / R&B / Dub & real early Roots Reggie & the beginnings of > Hip Hop 💯 Jamie Manchester England '

the big band music of the 20's,30's 40's has died out because majority of the people from that generation has died out. So too is the music of the 5o's, 60's 70's and 80's dieing out because these talents aren't being replaced .....the movie Ghost features this song

The song is from a movie from 1955 called "Unchained" Not a very good movie. But we got the song from it. 🙂

Why do you think there were so many boomers, these were our love songs with Marvin gay too. Lol

I'M 64, when i was 60, i just realized they were white...lol..so you aren't alone.

Another song and group that will fool you about your ability to detect ethnicity of the musicians is "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees. Give it a listen!

More interested in what you think than listening to the song😢

Hello, unfortunately you are making too many interruptions. Especially with the highlight at the end. As a result, the connection is missing.

No the sixties

No, what are you saying?

You really want the opinion on music back in the day to music of today?? Okay here it is!!! There is no comparison..What they play today is not music... Everything is violence n has no meaning to it..Back in the day music was about Love n always told a story Better times n fantastic music... Thanks

Bobby Harfield died way too soon.

Please please do yourself a favor and listen to the Righteous Brothers do "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (Live)" and "I Just Wanna Make Love to You." You will not be sorry.
