Notice that Bobby moves his microphone closer to or farther from his mouth, to change the volume creating elegant fades. He's essentially "tuning" himself as he sings. That's practically a lost art today.

@zanhar7688Ай бұрын
Actually the coin flip thing was another off the cuff remark. Both 'brothers' sang solos on their albums and Bobby chose this one. Bill produced it and, on the original version he played piano and even sang backup vocal on it ... you have to listen closely for it. For this, of course there is no backup vocal and it's the Andy Williams orchestra playing...

Bobby Hatfield sang tenor and countertenor. He sang doo-wop, blues, rhythm 'n' blues, rock 'n' roll, "blue-eyed soul" -- the term named for The Righteous Brothers, unusual ballads, popular songs, the Spector ballad hits, and more. My favorite music is The Moonglow Years and my favorite song is "For Your Love". Yes, Robert Lee Hatfield was an underrated wonderful singer. 🎶✨

I remember this being done by Al Hibbler in 1955 and it got a lot of plays. The Righteous Brothers did it about 1965 and theirs is an all time classic. On a technical note, he held the mike so his mouth could be seen which helps make the words more clear to the listener. So many cover their mouths with the mike which makes the words less clear and might even distort the sound. Bobby Hatfield also had incredible breath control and creative runs and riffs which made it so easy on the ear.

Beth, again, I must tell you how much I appreciate the effort and research you put into these reactions. It's why I subscribe. OK. This is a great quality video considering the year and it's as live as it can be. The story I heard is that Bobby Hatfield was nervous during this performance because his mother was in the audience. In 2002, while I was working at a 'Classic Hits' radio station in a very large market here in the U.S., I was tapped to emcee a Righteous Brothers concert. Before the show, I was able to hang out with the guys in the dressing room. While they were getting ready for the show, they acted like two brothers, they chided each other (hurry up, Bill, you're gonna make us late), swore at each other, not in a mean spirited way, but in a way that demonstrated how long they had been together. Didn't matter that I, a complete stranger, was in the room. I really cherish that memory, especially since, the very next year, Bobby Hatfield was gone.

Bobby's song forever! Love the moving-your-head thing. Instrumentalists do it, too, even on instruments that you might not think are conducive to it. I play violin (classical) and although somewhat hindered by the chinrest and necessity for fingering (so melody) to occur on the wooden environment of the neck and fingerboard, with the bow making the changes in dynamics, it still happens to express the emotion of the piece, even when you're not the soloist or are confined by reading music. My brother played upright bass. It's a huge instrument. He's a big guy at 6'4" and can move his whole body while playing, and still it is the head movements that are the most important in conveying emotion. Must be a human thing.

Hmm, I learned something today about technique. I used to sing karaoke quite a bit and one of the songs I did was Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones and toward the end, there's a part where there is humming. I always had difficulty humming loud enough and found that I would end up not really humming as my lips would actually be parted, but I would have my tongue pressed against the roof of my mouth to make a sort of humming sound. Think of it like instead of humming and forming the M consonant, I'm instead humming and forming the N consonant. I will have to try this the next time I sing karaoke, but it has been a few years, unfortunately, so I'm out of practice with my singing. Coincidentally, my girlfriend ran her own show and often picked out which songs I would sing due to my indecisiveness and once she put me up for this very song. I'm no Bobby Hatfield, but I think I was at least passable and she even told me that I did better than she would have thought.

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 ( in this performance his range is an incredible: D3 to G5 sharp) 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 each sang a song as a solo vocalist on their albums. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss. 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. Sadly, on Nov. 5, 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack in a Michigan hotel room just prior to a Righteous Brothers performance, apparently in his sleep at age 63. The Righteous Brothers version was , oddly enough a huge hit because it was recorded merely as a filler song for their fourth album, not for release as a single. Philles Records owner/producer 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 B-side to writers 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 his 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 to 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!’ [Medley 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' but 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

Your offering of information is appreciated, but the coin toss was a joke which became a rumor which became misinformation. Bill Medley has told the joke and told the truth at different times. Bobby Hatfield stated in an interview of them that he sang this song with his original group The Variations and "I had that one in my pocket". "Unchained Melody" was Bobby Hatfield's choice for his solo; and Bill Medley produced it, though Phil Spector toxicly claimed credit, as you delineated.
