How did I do with that high note in the beginning?? DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBEEEEE AND DROP A LIKE!! 😂

Dude walked out on the stage, LIVE.. cold, no auto-tune..no gimmicks....and gave one of the best live performances in music history. Peace....

The most perfect song in the last 100 years, no autotune, LIVE before an audience, 22 notes, 4 octaves PERFECT. REACTION? ZERO.

This is considered THE MOST PERFECT single song recording in history. Justifiably so.

Bobby Hatfield blew that song out of the water with his angelic voice. That man can "saaaaang."❤❤❤

And remember NO AUTO TUNE. Just pure talent.

She did say she was only 13! She will certainly understand it when she gets a little older. I defy any woman of any generation not to fall for this like a ton of bricks. I’m pretty sure it’s the most romantic song of all time. No one sings it as beautifully as Bobby and no one else ever will.

This song is from my teenage years, I’m now 74. It brings back memories of all the young boys being drafted to Viet Nam . You can imagine how much this song meant to them.

If this song doesn't float a woman's boat, nothing can

1/4 of the people walking the planet are here because of this song.Its called blue eyed soul and panty dropper.Pure talent,no auto tune

This was played so often during the Vietnam war. I played it it myself at least 50 times a day while my husband was away in the Air Force in 1969. Bobby Hatfield had a vocal range of 4 octaves. The average singer's voice range is 2 to 2 1/2. He was a miracle. This is a beautiful man singing a beautiful singing with a beautiful voice.

Come on this is one of the greatest love songs of all times.

This performance is laced with complex vocal work, there’s countertenor, diphthongs, vowel elongation, and vocal range that very very few artists are capable of. This is the best live vocal performance ever recorded.

"Time... goes by... so slowly... and Time can do... so much!" You all are too young. In a few decades, you will feel these lyrics more than you will want to.

I was on my way to Reno to get married ,in June ,of 1965 This was our song the first time we heard it. We are still married 55 years ,later , it a true love song with meaning We still love the song 😍 RIP mr hatfield miss u So much ,#1 fan

Actually, this song was written in '55. A movie was made from this song called "Unchained". The movie was about a guy in prison longing to get back to his wife and children.

Our technological society has taken a toll on the younger generation's rhetoric. This song's lyrics are pretty much spelled out literally.

When your entire world is TikTok or FaceBook or InstaGram, when your entire human interaction is through your phone screen, your reactions to something real are likely to resemble new mud. They seem to be waiting for someone to tell them what to think.

Bless you two. You’re so young and completely inexperienced you have no clue what you’re listening to. Live. No auto tune. Just talent. You two have never experienced that. Sad.

"Whoa my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch" you don't know what that means.. Don't worry you will and then you will remember this song. I'm 66 years old so I was 11 yrs old when this song was released. Even at that age I knew what it meant. The voice that Bobby Hatfield,the singer had was undeniably one of the best. You are right you had to be able to sing then unlike today. What a talent. Bill Medley,the other brother was equally talented but when Bobby sang this song everyone melted into the arms of the person they loved. Still happens today whenever its played. That's what makes it a CLASSIC.

I'm a few months late, but I gotta tell you that this song is the beautiful love song ever written, sang by the most perfect voice ever recorded, Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers. I call this "Bobby's Song" because although there have been many recordings by different artists, but none as beautifully done. Live, no autotune just pure talent. Bobby, a mic, this song, and a whole nation of women fell in love. I was one of them, 22 years old. One day, young lady, when you are older, like 21, listen to it again. You WILL understand. We miss him so much but he left a legacy of beautiful music and his unmatchable voice

Everything was different back then. I was at school in the sixties and there was still a whole lot of innocence that made young people really appreciate these kind of songs. The world has turned so base and sordid since those times , and most of the music reflects that .

This was before Electronics could adjust your voice to sound how they need you to. This was REAL RAW Talent, I remember when this version came out my sisters would just keep repeat playing it for hours. But it never gets old, Thanks for the memory's.

Seriously that's your reaction I'm an old man I seen them they first started and to hear him do this version still touches my heart one of the greatest love songs ever written baby girl if you didn't get that you never will

Bobby Hatfield just stood there and sung it - LIVE !! Faultlessly and effortlessly. Probably one of the best single-take recordings ever.

The lyrics should be self explanatory-- it's a love song.

That’s the emotive power of the legendary BOBBY HATFIELD (RIP 1940 - 2003) - arguably the greatest tenor singer EVER - his pronouncing and clarity is perfect. This was his 1965 masterpiece 👌

You guys have no idea this is the greatest song you'll ever hear. His voice is the greatest. Pure raw talent and he never had voice lessons. I was in high school in 1965 when this song made the charts. You need to listen to You're my soul inspiration to watch the other half of the Righteous Brothers. They were awesome! This is the baby boomer music! ❤❤❤

I was 11 years old when this song came out. I loved it from the first time I heard it. It was particularly meaningful to this generation because the Vietnam War was heating up. As you can imagine there were many painful separations, this song expressed the loneliness & longing of many of those couples. It was also a slow dance standard. No other love song has ever come close to Bobby Hatfield’s rendition here, except their other hit, You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling. Bill Medley does a beautiful job as lead singer in that one.

That voice, face, blue eyes! Bobby Hatfield was perfection. Then and now.

They each did a solo as part of their act. That was Bobby Hatfield age 25. The song was written for a 1955 movie Unchained. It was about a guy in prison separated from his wife. Over 600 covers of this great song. Bobby's live version is the gold standard. A studio version was used in the movie Ghost.

2 guys the other guy was nearby. Live recording, live orchestra. This song was performed as a solo. Pure, polished talent.

Guess you two are not used to solid and great music without any gimmicks Just pure raw talent.

OMG his vocal control is absolutely amazing, I mean just this here at 2:45 the belt then taking it down and getting softer, all in one breath. He's one of those singers I just like to close my eyes and hone all my attention in on all the things his voice is doing all at once.

Wow. Before autotune singers had to have... talent. * GASP * ;-)

Something to think about, he was 24 years old in this.

Man, you guys need to relax! Feel that music. This was as exciting as drinking flat soda...

This is a masterpiece..Your reaction.........well

Song is about missing his girl not being able to “touch” her. “Time goes by so slowly” when back in the day there were no mobile devices internet facetime Facebook. If someone was traveling and left you, you honestly worried about them because ppl would have to make long distance calls or write letters to communicate. Now we can talk to them while they’re on the plane. Time apart back then can and did a LOT to relationships. Imagine a non superficial life without mobile and internet, no one can anymore so they can’t understand a song like this.

It’s the theme song to a film/tv show called “Unchained” and it’s sung from the perspective of a prisoner who’s missing his lover. Forget the obvious “it’s a love song” because it’s actually a “I’m missing you so badly that I’m hurting” song.

How could you not understand the lyrics. They're so simple.

When your in love or heartbroken this song just hits harder! You have to really love that special someone to truly understand the lyrics!

This song was written 10 years before Bobby Hatfield sang it here. It was written for a prison movie called "Unchained", about a man in prison who is separated from his beloved. "Time goes by so slowly" --- yeah, it would for those in prison. "Wait for me, wait for me" --- he is yearning for her, asking her to be faithful. "Will you still be mine?" --- when he finally gets out of prison, will she still be his, will she have waited for him, will her love have survived the long separation? This is what he is thinking about and wondering all the time he is in prison. This song is so romantic and enduring and timeless because 1) the melody itself is beautiful, 2) the lyrics touch the deepest places in the human heart, 3) Bobby Hatfield had an incredible voice.

How can anyone not be in absolute awe of this?! This girl clearly can't comprehend how good this is.

This is a love song. This was sung to our loved ones, when they went to war. Listen to the words.

It has been covered lots of times, but none has a voice like his. When he sings with his "brother" the melody is brilliant.

This video is a single cut from the extremely popular Andy William's Show. Sung was the title song to a totally awful prison movie called "Unchained". The producers never gave the song a name, so it was just referred to as the "Unchained melody." Cut out from the video, is the intro by Andy Williams after the duo (Bill Medley, baritone, and Bobby Hatfield, tenor) who had just finished singing together. (They had briefly explained how they got their name and why Bobby would be singing a solo, which came as a complete surprise to Mr. Williams.) Though reportedly covered by over 300 artists over the last 60 years, Bobby's version is still widely considered "his" to own. It's popularity was rekindled with the release of the movie, "Ghost." Of note with this song is that Bobby sings over 20 separate and distinct notes covering three octaves, all in perfect pitch, tone and timbre. The greatest professionals and singing experts have stated that no one else have ever sang such a song with such reserved strength and emotion, yet with seemingly lack of effort that no one has yet to match in their cover attempts.

Obviously today's love songs are more understood by the youth if the lyrics are something like Bak Dat Azz Up or maybe U My Bitch Thang, Now that makes young girls today feel loved and respected by smooth talking gentlemen 😉

incroyable interprétation ! déplorables réactions !!!

No Autotune needed. Pure talent

Lyrical interpretation? You're kidding, right?

This song was written as the theme song for a movie called Unchained about a prisoner who is about to be released. He is singing to his girlfriend who he hopes is waiting for him. The movie had only limited success, but the song garnered some attention. It has been covered by literally dozens of artists over the years including Elvis. Bobby Hatfield’s studio recording was a massive hit and has been featured in a number of movies, the most notable being Ghost with Patrick Swayzie. This live performance was on the Andy Williams Show, a variety show very popular in the sixties. Hatfield’s perfect rendition is widely considered one of the greatest single live performances in popular music history, and is considered by most music experts to be the definitive version of the song. One of the those instances when a live performance is better than the studio performance. This performance is different from the studio version especially the high notes at the end. He covers a range of 20 notes and over an octave during the song, a remarkable feat for a male singer. And he does it effortlessly and with no electronic aids other than a microphone. Bobby Hatfield is one half of the Righteous Brothers, a duo act. They are not actually brothers. The other singer is Bill Medly whose voice is completely different. And he can go as low as Bobby can go high. Their voices blend perfectly. They are among the best duo’s ever. They were known as blue eyed soul, because when they first started, they were often mistaken for a black group. Until they were seen. You should check out. their YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING. This song was also a massive hit, in fact, it was the most played song on TV and radio of the 20th century.

The meaning behind the song is LOVE... I know it's a rare emotional nowadays. Lol.

Tone, control delivery absolutely outstanding, flawless. What a masterpiece.

You see the thing is, in a "reaction" video, there needs to be some reaction. You guys had ZERO reaction.

Their reaction--especially the girl--kinda destroyed my faith in today's young people. IT'S A GORGEOUS LOVE SONG! WHAT'S NOT TO UNDERSTAND?

IMO, this is the most beautiful song ever written. It still brings chills to me all these years later. There are just tons of wonderful covers of this song too.

There was a an interview just before the live performance on The Andy Williams Show. The other " brother" explained that sometimes one or the other would take the solo lead. For both singing listen to, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".

It's wonderful to hear a song that's so superb it transcends generations!!! Music unites us ;-D

I was 16-teen when this song came out. The best live performance I can recall, in music history. No auto tune mic, no rerun, no nothing. Just enormous talent by Bobby Hatfield, the tenor of the "brothers". The other "brother" Bill Medley. Check out Wings of Pegasus.

His parents where in the audience for this performance

I was 15 when this song came out and I’m still in love with Bobby Hatfield! Lol.

Beautiful song, pure talent and no auto tune just raw talent.

I think many young people are so used to digitized, synthetic, autotuned music and voices that they have a hard time really understanding and appreciating a performance of this caliber when they hear it.

Just by her reaction I think Sis understood more of what the song meant than she admitts

To quote Foghorn Leghorn, “sharp as a bowling ball “

totally live, no auto tune you both missed the 5 vocal range. good luck on next one

This song is about being separated for a long period of time (for whatever reason) from someone you love. They are wondering whether their love has moved on, "Are you still mine?" hoping they will be reunited when he returns. "I'll be coming home, wait for me." Unchained Melody is one of the most poignant and beautiful love songs ever.

They had to use a phone to determine how long ago 1965 was...let that sink in. We're screwed.

What does the song mean? It's a love song! Get it?

Little sis needs to stay in school and challenge that brain abit. Put the phone down and practice your math skills.

best thing about this reaction......big brother spending time with his younger sister.

One of the greatest love songs ever written

This is blue eyed soul they picked that name when they were in a quartet The Parmores they were performing in a club in the south just Bobby and Bill sang a song and after a black marine stood and shouted " That's righteous brothers". That's who they became (not actually brothers).

I still get goosebumps when I hear this song

It was top of the US and UK charts. Incredible singing.

Most emotionless review of an emotional tune I’ve seen.

This is the worst review of a classic 60's song I have ever heard , you two need to google this duo group named the Righteous Bros, they are not brothers, they are an act. Review the song "You're Lost That loving Feeling"& "Soul & Inspiration"

This is a love song from a young man separated from his wife or girlfriend and wondering if she is waiting for him and telling her how much he loves her, needs, and has that little doubt if she is still his, “ are you still mine “ and how much he still needs her. This is mine and my husbands song as he was separated from me for a whole year when the Air Force stationed sent him to S. Korea during the Pueblo Crisis. You need to google that. N. Korea attacked our ship the Pueblo and took the crew hostage. Said the ship has crossed into N. Korean waters, but it actually was within the international water boundary. Anyway, this is our song and when my husband came back to me from the long lonely river of the the sea, I had waited for him, given birth to our first child. We were in our early 20’s, I was 22, he 23 and we danced the night away and got reacquainted to that beautiful song. We can still dance to it and do. My husband and I consider that we were born and grew up in one for the best times ever. Life was real back then. Life is all fake now. Altered voices, pictures, and made up lives on social media always staring down at the smart phones! No one knows what is real or not real anymore ! ☹️

His brother goes offstage for this song. He was asked about it and he replied "because I thought it wasn't going to be a hit".

She was clearly trying hard to keep her cool, but spent the whole song trying to stop her jaw hitting the floor!! 🤣 Her reaction was entirely in her eyes & eyebrows!

Song was 10 years old then, came from a 1955 movie about guys considering escaping prison. Bad movie, good song. Was a song every vocal group had in their repertoire. Bobby's version was taken up by Vietnam war soldiers and their sweethearts waiting here back home for them.

Perfection!! I’m crying remembering this song. I was in high school when this song came out, good memories from a different time! Thank you for playing this!!❤️

I was 10 when this show aired. I remember watching it live! It was on Andy Williams show. One of the greatest performances of ALL time!

Reaction or reacting to, requires the depth of being able to think. These young people don't have that ability, apparently, but it's not their fault. The ability to think for oneself has been eroded away from our society to the point that simple math cannot be done without talking into ones phone which is permanently placed in ones hand. How sad for this generation. How may we take back our humanity?

Did she seriously just say she does not know what the lyrics mean??? 😳

You actually need someone to explain this song??? Omigod... the lost generation...

The righteous Brothers will never really die. Bobby Hatfield, rest in peace little guy

If you saw the entire clip from the Andy Williams show, He did this song solo, his partner did not participate. This song still brings tears to my eyes 58 years later. I am now 68!

The song is about a guy in prison wondering if his girlfriend will be there for him when he gets out. Thus “time goes by so slowly”

That' s so sad! Bobby died so young. An awesome soul singer with so much more to give us 😪.

Thank you for not stopping the music every 10 seconds to put your options in between. It’s showing the respect for the artist.

The great example of today generation. Asking a phone how much is 2020 minus 1965.......Waooooo! Plus they doesn’t know what the lyrics means. 🙄

It was written for the movie Unchained about a guy in prison who misses his wife and longs for her again.

There should have been a camera on me reacting to these two not reacting. I'm sitting here going NOTICE SOMETHING. Try catching how subtle and nuanced this is. Notice how the man seems to almost never breathe. Register that he hit the E over high C which is hard for most women much less a man. There was so much soul, so much heart and so much feeling and you didn't even register the words much less how this man did this live onstage all in a single take with no room for a single error. I suggest you look at how others reacted to this.

He and Bill Medley were a duo but he sang this solo…his mom was in the audience for the first time. A lot of us listened to this song when our boyfriends were in Viet Nam fighting. He’s telling his wife or girlfriend that he is missing and loving her and to please wait for him to return. Many soldiers received a Dear John letter while they were in Nam fighting in a war.

What I CANT digest is people thinking today's talent is actually BETTER

They have never actually heard real music....so they don't know what to say.

here is what the song means. A man, for whatever reason, has not been with the girl/woman he loves so much for some time and he has grown lonely. He misses this woman so much and is yearning to touch her again and see her and hug her and kiss her and be with her. Now, I know in today's world it's different because this day and age everything is so fast and there is so much to do. But back in the 50's things were much slower and human love was so different and so much stronger, truer, and men and women really, actually loved each other. It's sad because in 2020... it's not like that. Thanks for doing this. I enjoyed watching.

Written about a guy leaving prison, and he is asking if his girlfriend/wife still loves him and waited for him.
