58 years ago and it seems like yesterday.

This live performance was in 1964 - color TV was not a thing yet! Also, there was no auto tune available either. What you have here are 2 voices in great harmony (baritone and a 3 octave tenor) and just pure raw talent.

unlike most music today these guys had class

I don't see how anyone could not like this song , even in these days n times! These guys were great singers and delivered their message for sure! 🥰

Pure class and talent. Their signature blue eyed soul really shines in ' You'll never walk alone' but anything they do is outstanding.

When music was pure and real! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You may not have noticed one of the back ground singers becomes a star herself, Cher

The Righteous Brothers are not real brothers. They are Bobby Hatfield - tenor and Bill Medley-baritone. Bobby passed away in 2003. Check out their "You'll Never Walk Alone".

I was in high school when this came out. Black and white was all we had. Not much on television depending on where you lived.

This is "Blue Eyes Soul." Saw the Righteous Brothers: Bobby Hatfield (Blond tenor) & Bill Medley (Baritone), in 1965 at the Community Concourse in San Diego with my high school sweetheart & love of my life, Sharon. At thst time at lot of people thought they were Black. In fact there were quite a few Black folks there. It waa an AMAZING SHOW. They wore tuxedos & had an orchestra. It was FANTASTIC. They are the GREATEST DUO ever. It was a night I will NEVER forget. After the concert was FANTASTIC TOO.😁 Listen to Soul & Inspiration, See That Girl, Brown Eyed Woman, I Just Wan to To Make Love To You. Stuck on You. Little Latin Lupe Lu. HE, Rock n Roll Heaven, Ebb Tide et al

Wow! How fast the years have gone. They were very very popular in my high school and college days. Hard to believe Bobby Hatfield is gone. He is missed. Bill Medley still singing beautifully! 🎼🎼🎼

This is still the most played song ever on the USA radio stations. Another black n White video made after this song is "Soul and Inspiration". Color TV didn't take off until around 1965 and you can see them sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" in color from the acclaimed Ed Sullivan TV show. They have such amazing vocals together or on the solos they did on every album. For just the recorded version listen to the counter tenor Bobby Hatfield sing "Ebb Tide" or the baritone Bill Medley sing lead on the bluesy "I Wanna Make Love To You". Their library of songs is a treasure chest to listen to. Enjoyed watching you react to the Righteous Brothers & I subscribed.

you would love bobby hatfield singing "summertime" bobby invents a couple of new notes in this solo song

They actually preceded the James Bond era. They just have class. The Righteous Brothers and the Motown sound were a part of the richness of the 60s and 70s. We had Amazing dances. Nobody worried about guns or violence. BTW, color TV had started to roll out in 1964, but most people didn't have it until 68 or 69.

Check out Bill Medley "Brown Eyed Woman" he was having an on again off again relationship with Darlene Love and the looks between them is priceless. Also The Night Time is the Right on Shindig singing

Back in the day we were leaving their show and I said the applause was deafening and she said that the applause was loud but all the panties hitting the stage was louder lol maybe lol

Brings back memories ❤️

Brilliant singers! 👏 All the best Glo and Sunny 🌞

INTERESTING FACT AS A 16 year Young girl CHER WAS A Back up singer

This was on the weekly Shindig Show where they were regulars and Shindig was still in black & white but that's where the real gems are. Some TV shows switched to color about this time but I don't think Shindig ever did switch. For their hit songs like this they sang live but to the sound track. Righteous Brothers were known for their R&B so if you want to see the wild and funny guys they truly were I'd go thru more of the old Shindig videos which aren't as clear but they are the show stoppers. They're even better with the live Shindig band, backup singers and dancers. If you react to "Little Latin Lupe Lu" make sure it's from the Shindig Pilot Episode. "I Need Your Loving Everyday" Is my favorite Shindig performance and they let it rip.

One of the best songs, duos ever.

Vocal, voice and lyrics is amazing

My beautiful couple Have missed you

And I love The Osmonds vision 🙂

Thank you for your video . I enjoyed it 😃

Brilliant song. Try reacting to Sir Tom Jones.

Loved watching the video and a great song 😍😍

You need to listen to (more than a woman ) by the bee gees! They have the high notes in that video too! ( falsettos)

Amazing what this does to me, especially those last high notes from Bobby.

Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)

Hows' that for a great video. A great song. The greatest duo in music history. There is so much to discover. They are great as solusts or as a duo.

Hi from Australia! I'm hoping you do read the comments. I would love to see what you think of an acapella group? Their name is CARMEN ACAPELLA and its them doing BEETHOVEN'S 5TH. They incredible!

A black singer from that era was Jackie Wilson singing‘LONELY TEARDROPS. Please give him a try

Welcome back guys

The most popular song of the twentieth century.

You are watching Royalty and listening to Gold..and thanks for your pure raw authentic reaction..great reaction from both of yall..

Yes!

One of the backup singers is a very young Cher.

If you liked this song, I strongly recommend you react to Soul and Inspiration. It was written as a follow-up to the success of this song by the same writers, features the beautiful harmonies of both "brothers", and peaked at #1 for three straight weeks in the US in 1966. Here is a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md2El7Whvrq3ZJc.html

1964 was the last year of Black and White T.V.

If you like the righteous Brothers check out a couple of other big hits that they had 'soul and inspiration' and' Edd tied' and thank you kind regards..

I could be wrong about this but somewhere I read that Cher was amongst the singers in the background. Of course it was before she became famous. If this is true.

Truly beautiful. Loved your critique

There was a time when Bill Medley,the teller man,was dealing with a tragedy in his life and Bobby Hatfield carried on alone. Bill left his home early in the morning to go start a tour. Unbeknownst to him,a man slipped in house assaulted and killed his wife. Bill was called back,was even under suspicion until he was cleared. Very sad I can assure you,this was filmed in the time before color television.

Black & White is real fantasy! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I first heard this song by the Righteous Brothers on the radio when I was 9 years old in late 1964 or early 1965 (turned 10 later that year). Our family used to watch the Righteous Brothers when they appeared on TV variety shows of that era -- The Ed Sullivan Show, Andy Williams Show, American Bandstand with Dick Clark, and Shindig among others.

They are not brothers. When they started, both of them decided to called there duo the, Righteous Brothers.

That song is a classic. BTW...They are not brothers.

Okay, Nineteen sixty four, Nineteen sixty five or the year said it was still black and white in television, In the united states. We didn't have color TV in the United States. Until a little bit later, So mostly television was In black & white in those days.

They are not biological brothers. Cher is singing with the group of singers behind them.

No they did not have color TV back then

So sad that the Baritone voice has been disappearing from popular music for a few decades now..

They are not brothers..just friends..

Please stop interrupting during showing. Save your comments until afterwards.

They aren’t brothers

They are not brothers

They're not related.

Can people shut up about this music today? Today’s music sucks case closed, hands-down.

Just know when listening to this music, you are aware that it twists the truth of Love. This type of music is deception in that it claims love to be a emotion or a feeling. God's love is sacrificial, giving oneself for the betterment of someone else. This is a selfish and destructive form of love. Destroying families throughput the decades. Know the difference!
