My Righteous Brothers You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ Reaction! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5ycrciVqpzceHk.html

Bobby Hatfields voice was so beautiful....so smooth....incredible range!!!!!!

Thank you! The best serenade ever by anyone. Bobby's voice is soo pure!

That brother, was one of the greatest live performances of all time. I saw them in Reno and Bobby did not need no auto tune. Dude could just flat out sing.

The “I didn’t think it would be a hit” comment was a joke. They actually flipped a coin to see who would sing it and Bobby won the flip. Bill said he was glad Bobby won-they were friends and supported each others independent solo. They each had a solo on every album. Listen to Bill’s “I just wanna make love to you” (Bobby jumps in too) and Bobby’s “Summertime”, along with their other classics. Good reaction!

My blue-eyed soul guy. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song and no one sang it like he did. Bobby owns this song. RIP Bobby. We miss hearing your beautiful voice. ❤️ ❤️❤️

If I go to heaven , off in the distance on a pure white Cloud, Bobby will be singing this and God will listen and approve of his handy work.

And THAT is HOW it's done!!!!! IMHO THE BEST "LIVE" performance EVER recorded....NO gimmicks, NO autotune.....NOTHING but PURE TALENT!!!🔥😍🔥

Thanks, King! This is "blue-eyed soul" at its best.. Bobby may look like a "ken doll" but his voice is incredible... no "autotune" no straining or screaming.. just perfect pitch and breath control... (also, his Mom was in the audience and he was reportedly nervous about that -- I'm sure she was proud)... Much appreciated!

There are 2 types of counter tenors, natural born or trained. Natural born counter tenors (like Bobby Hatfield or Mitch Grasse of Pentatonix) can easily hit the top of their ranges with no effort, while trained counter tenors still have to strain and the effort always shows in some way. Natural born counter tenors are so rare as many believe there is only one born to a generation...

Dear sweet 'Ken Doll' Bobby was a super talented heart throb with soul. He could dance, sing and as you see participate in comedy. Perfect duo but I am so happy they each did solo's. Bobby is so unique in that he can add heart and soul to romance or jazzy songs. This clip is even BETTER than the studio cut which charted TWICE (thanks to Ghost). RIP Bobby Hatfield you are missed.

Hello King of The Mix, Many other artists have covered this song and have done it some justice, but this man right here Mr. Bobby Hatfield (R.I.P.) from The Righteous Brothers he "owns" this song "PERIOD"...No one has ever matched nor will they ever match the way he sang this song!!! This was back in 1965, done in 1 take before a "Live" TV studio audience on The Andy Williams Show, with an orchestra playing the music and with "NO AUTO TUNE!!!" There was no room for error and he "NAILED-IT!!!" The Righteous Brothers are "Blue-Eyed-Soul" to the bone!!!

20 years before auto-tune was invented. Bobby Hatfield was early 20's, mum in the audience her first time , first professional engagement, on tv, orchestra in the next room, and he had a head-cold. They hated the pink suits by the way. Yes he had a great range, he went up there, came back down and went up, even higher to prove it wasn't a fluke. He re-did this song, for the movie Ghost, with Patrick Swayse in the 80's. This is a classic, masterful, and still in the top of songs of all time.

Pure talent. No auto-tune, just live music!

3 minutes of perfection! No auto-tune, just raw talent! Bobby was nervous about that high note at the end. He had a cold, and his mom was in the audience and had never heard him sing live before. This edition of the song is better IMHO than the studio version which is what they used in Ghost. It didn't end with that high note which was awesome. Many think that note was falsetto, but it's not. Bobby sang tenor all the way up to the top of countertenor! I also love in the first part of the song where he belts that big note and then has the breath control to sing the decrescendo! That is incredibly difficult to do... just try it! He nailed this song! BTW, this song has been covered about 50 times or more. It was originally from a 50's prison movie called Unchained which was not very good. Elvis even recorded this, but Bobby owns this song the way Johnny Cash owns Hurt. You should react to that. If you don't cry you don't have a soul!

This song became an anthem of our servicemen in Vietnam for their wives and girlfriends that they would be there waiting when … if…they came home. Women love slow dancing to this song to this day…especially with someone special…

This beautiful song was written in 1955 for the film ‘Unchained’. It was a hit for several other artists before Bobby sang it and added several changes that singers have since tried to emulate (the octave jump in the last verse). Bobby had supreme control of his voice and his range was B2 to Eb6 which is well into counter tenor - a very rare ability. And yes, this was written as a solo and that’s why Bobby sang alone. Bill produced the studio version, played piano on it and even sang backup, although you need to listen carefully to pick him out. In this live version the Andy Williams orchestra was the backup.

AMAZING SONG & VOICE, THE MAN'S A LEGEND RIP.THIS LIVE Version It's the best it shows the true emotion right there and then

You can imagine what this did for slow dancing back in the 60's. Lucky guys.

1965. No auto tune. Pure talent.

Bob and Bill were natural entertainers. They had very, very different voice types, which makes Bill’s funny comment ‘I didn’t think it was going to be a hit’ sound more like « I can’t sing this for the life of me, but Bobby can, so go Bro ! ». Bobby’s voice is a miracle of nature, not just for its smooth emission, pure tones, but especially for the elegant, effortless way he stands and delivers. Look at his face when he’s finished: not a trace of sweat, just a sweet, satisfied but modest smile. Pavarotti was sweating profusely and seemed to have ran a marathon at the end of an opera aria.

Al Green on record said this was the greatest live performance ever caught on record or film. Al fucking Green!!!!

haha. just a joke. of course Bill knew it was a hit. They were not jealous of each other.

This beautiful Melody written (68) years ago by Academy Award winning composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret for the (1955) Prison movie "Unchained." Has been performed by over 1000 artist and orchestras worldwide. This (live) version done by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers and the NBC Orchestra 10 years after back in 1965 on the NBC 'Andy Williams Show. ' Has been considered as the greatest live performance in television history. It has become the quintessential version of them all. The music orchestration for this live version was arranged by Ray Bloch. Priceless!

I met my husband in 1965. This was the first album he bought me. 🎶🎶🎶💞💞💞. We got married in 1966. I was 16. He was19. The next one was. James brown. ( Mr. Dynamite )

This was written for a prison movie Unchained in 1955. This song has been covered over 1500 times in multiple languages. Bobby had a head cold and still nailed it. Bobby kills Summer Time. Love them singing Rock And Roll Heaven. They agreed in the beginning that each would have a solo on an album.

That random guy in the audience who yelled that out was a Black Marine, and the show was at Toro Marine Base, California

My son and his wife chose this timeless song for their wedding song in 2020.

In 1955 Alex North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained. The lyrics were written by Hy Zaret. This beautiful Righteous Brothers version was released in 1965 at the height of the Vietnam War which ran from 1955 - 1975. So when I hear this version it takes me back in time, to the late 60's, high school and "the draft" which sealed the fate of so many brave young boys by sending them into battle overseas. When I hear the song I visualize a lonely American soldier, crouched in that dark, filthy, wet jungle. Bone tired but writing a letter to "his girl" back home. I see his fellings pour out to her on paper, so similar to the lyrics in this song: "Oh my love, my darling, I hunger for your touch", "Time goes by so slowly & time can do so much. Are you still mine?" Then he closes his letter with a "haunting" promise & plea: "I'll be coming home, wait for me".

BLUE EYED SOUL. They were AMAZING

Unchained Melody was written for the film Unchained in 1955. A prison film based on the book Prisoners Are People. The song has been recorded by over 600 artists but, Bobby Hatfield's live performance on The Andy Williams Show leaves every other version in deep deep shadow.

MASTERFUL!!!

Bobby sings a few songs by himself This one, Ebb Tide and Summertime all great songs

You’ve got to listen to both of them sing “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”!

I sat in my living room with my family watching this performance in 1965. It was unbelievable!

He actually had extreme stage fright, you can see his nervousness we hes is talkin at the beginning a couple times, until he saw his mom and dad, who he told earlier he is sing for her. No auto tune, just a mic and a voice. One of the best ever. Blue eyed soul. Nice reaction.

They were fabulous

The look on his face was because he knew he killed it and his mom was in the audience. Try "You've Lost That Feeling", the most listened-to song of the 20th-Century.

one of the best songs ever,

He not only had "It" factor, he is the definition of "it." This video over the past 2-3 years for reactors in numbers, has gone viral. I've never seen anything like this. The man is reaching people with his beautiful voice from the grave...it's really insane but beautiful. most of the women reactors melt in their chair lol.

CHILLS!!! Every time!!

I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. Grew up on this music. So glad it is still appreciated

I played that for my girlfriend who never heard the song before and happened to be a Latina cried like crazy and was emotionally crushed!

Good wholesome songs and music back in the day,what went wrong☹️

Bobby Hatfield wasn't the kind of artist who would tell Bill Melody something like you blew it and brag. These two guys had mutual respect for each other and class to do something like that. They never tried to out do each other when you listen to their other songs.

Please listen to Summertime by Bobby Hatfield. It is insane😎😋

The record (45pm/2-sided) was released as the B-side. The DJs played this song. Wise choice.

The host of the show, Andy Williams is a great singer too. He has many good songs. I like The House of Bamboo.

Awesome singer great reaction thank you 😃 wild bill

Bobby Hatfield was suffering from a bad cold at the time of this show, plus his Mother was in the audience.

Thanks!

Bobby was a natural Who left too soon.

More detail on the name: The name Righteous Brothers came from black marines from the El Toro Marine base in Southern California when the guys were performing at a club near the base.

It's crazy how Bobby went from that interview/intro straight into singing the song. Nowadays you'll have Jimmy Fallon or whoever throw to commercial in between the interview with the musical guest and them actually playing. Bobby was just ready to go, no prep or nothin

This was the song played Last at the dance--- "The Slow Song' -- where you actually touched each other!!

I like your 'soulful Saturdays' sign... good vibe...

Love Bobby Hatfield. RIP🌹

Live with a handheld microphone in the days before Autotune. Never run through the studio. This was just his voice -just him. What truly amazed me was his climb to that final high note when he did not gasp in a breath but simply stopped singing and looked at the camera like, " can't everybody do this?"

I had to subscribe after watching your reactions to the Righteous Brothers!

✨️✨️✨️❤️❤️love him

OUtSTANDING!!!

Wait for it...

KING, you need to react to 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling', the most played song on American radio and TV of the 20th Century. AND you need, YOU NEED to react to 'I just Want To Make Love To You'. The Brothers did ballads of course but they were really a R&B duo. They drive Blue-Eyed Soul straight through Funky Town and park on Blue-Eyed Blues Street on this one.

From what I have read, Bobby Hatfield had no formal vocal training. He was a natural.

this was sang in the time of Vietnam vets who went to war not knowing if they would come back home alive!!!

RIP Bobby❤🌹

For the studio version you heard in 'Ghost' the other brother produced it, and also contributed some of the piano.

Great reaction I had commented earlier I was raised listening to the Righteous Brothers. My mom always listened to them on the radio or her records when cleaning the house when I was a kid. She has passed on now, and I still have her old vinyl collection, I even have her old player she used to play them on and it still works great. I listen to those records when I'm feeling nostalgic and wish this type of music would make a comeback I hope you will check out more of their stuff I recommend Soul and Inspiration, Rock and Roll Heaven

Phil Spector ,who was their producer at the time, considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer (Bill Medley actually produced it) credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's A-side "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector.

His parents were in the audience that night.

His mother was in the audience...first time she'd seen him perform...

Each album, they both would perform a song solo.

There was segregation back then and they played at a Black nightclub. Brother called out to them, Righteous tune

Bobby was incomparable and an all around entertainer. Gary Brooker of procol with the Danish Orchestra on A whiter shade o f pale . Wonder ful. Popular. Int ernationally

This song came out about 9 or 10 months before my little brother was born.

Righteous Brothers next song to do, “you’ve lost that Lovin Feelin”.

the sample was impressive actually, nice work. Great reaction too.

the righteous brothers have lots of duets and solo songs

Bomb no auto tune ❤

You talk through the best part

Come on guys. Scribe to the little guys and gals. Nothing to us. A lot to them.

thank you for giving this song a listen and a review. To truly appreciate both Righteous Brothers complimentary voices, give a listen to 'You've Lost that Loving Feeling'.

Loved your beat at the end. BTW, 670 covers of this masterpiece

Love it . Nailed it.

If you want a real switch (after you have listened to a few of their other hits "soul and inspiration" , “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”) then try Bill's "I wanna make love to you" as an example of their repertoire of capabilities.

Told you to wait for it...

Hatfield and Medley flipped to see who would get to sing solo on "Unchained Melody," and Hatfield won the toss

Thank you for a beautiful reaction in the beginning the gentleman's name in the middle talking to the righteous Brothers is Andy Williams could you please do a song from Andy Williams speak softly love from The godfather the movie thank you shadow❤❤❤❤

New suggestion the Bee Gees "Too much heaven" "How deep is your love" "More than a woman" "Stayin alive" and many more

The Righteous Brothers were not a "band." They were a vocal R&B duo. Bobby Hatfield did this solo. Recommendation: Jackie Wilson "Danny Boy" and the Platters "My Prayer" -- if you want to hear singers they just don't make anymore.

you need to watch bobby hatfield this singer, doing the song "summertime" he combinds blue eye soul with gospel

Listen to Bobby Rip his talent in his solos "Summertime" and 'Ebb Tide"

Hey king you have a good voice I liked it

I have always like the Righteous Brothers, Bobby on this one, but most everything they did.

Have you heard of an Acapella group Home Free? They have a video of Unchained! It's phenomenal! They're listed as country, but they do every genre! The rabbit hole is well worth it!!

While it's true, they flipped a coin to see who would sing this song and Bill was glad it was a hit, initially he didn't think it was hit material. Hence, the reason he didn't get a pro to play piano on the studio version. Bill played. But here and in concert they, afterwards it was a pro playing.

They always did a little comedy bit before tv appearances. Bill lost the coin flip and Bobby got to sing Unchained Melody. Check out bobby singing Summertime! Funny comedy bit..

Dude, you attenuated and talked through the second best part of the song.

You need to hear the three of them singing together "What'd I Say" on this same show. The Righteous Brothers were not only great singers but wonderful performers and always joking around.

Great video! And I like the beat at the end! 🔥🔥
