THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF !!! PREFORMED ONLY WITH GOD GIVEN TALENT !!!

I'm old, and the music from the 60-80's will never be repeated.

No one can duet like these two guys before or since. No one.

The greatest duo of all time, the legendary Righteous Brothers!

I still get goosebumps when Bobby Hatfield hits the high notes.One of greatest songs ever written.

They were inducted into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2003.Unfortunitely Bobby Hatfield passed away a few months after but Bill Melody is still singing and performing today and doing concerts.

I love how the other brother is just sitting there chillin with his elbow on his knee. What was smooth all by itself 😍

Your reaction is how they got their name. They played a USO show for an integrated Army audience and a soldier hollered out 'You are righteous brothers" and they took the name. They aren't actually related but their voices complement each other perfectly.

Those 63 "dislikers" lost that loving feeling.....

What's even more amazing is that these guys are singing this song live. And sound that good. Timeless music from a time that fewer and fewer of us can remember firsthand.

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)

I'm more than twice your age, and remember when the song came out. But your reaction makes me remember what I FELT when it came out. Keep it up!

That doesn’t include KZfaq, iTunes, Spotify or any streaming options. LIVE!! Pure talent

Pure talent and no auto tune

Interesting story...when they were starting out they had a different name. They finally got a gig at a primarily black lounge. The crowd did not want a couple of white guys singing in the club. When they started singing, the crowd loved them. Someone told them that they were some righteous brothers, so they changed their name.

Your life has just been massively enriched by the human voice actually becoming an instrument. The Righteous Brothers exemplify the very best in singing from the soul. So glad that another generation is discovering great music from generations that came before them. These guys are just amazing. Keep searching. There are more musical surprises to be discovered. Peace.

No autotune or that bullshit just dudes thet could actually sing . This garbage today will not be here in 5 years much less 60 years . I think this was about 1965

I really like the way you do reactions. I thoroughly enjoyed your show tonight. Have a wonderful day. 😍

still better then 90% of today's music

After all these years, I still get chills when I hear this song ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Couple Fun Facts: They got their name from some black marines who saw them perform as the “Paramours” in 1963. They shouted, “that was righteous brothers!”, Sonny and Cher were part of the backing vocals, & last but not least, heir manager booked them into a black nightclub in Watts, California before they got big, & the patrons of the club started throwing things at them on stage when they saw they were white, & The Righteous Brothers didn't know what to do, so they just started singing, & all the patrons sat down with their mouths open, & wouldn't let them leave after that, & the term, Blue Eyed Soul, was introduced 😃 👓 👓 😃

Bobby Hatfield.. RIP, GOAT.

I'm 52 and wasn't around when it came out but the first time I heard it yes my panties hit the floor💖💖

Bill Medley is still living. Bobby Hatfield, the blonde passed a few years ago. There will never be another.

Bill Medley still alive. Bobby Hatfield has passed.Sheer greatness from these 2 gentlemen. Who - back in the day didn t know this music and the RB well? They were tremendous for a long time.Your joy is no different than was ours then. So nice to see new crop of listeners enjoying the old legends.😀

Released in 1965, and produced by the genius record executive and producer, Phil Specter. It went #1 worldwide in less than one week. The Righteous Bros went on to a spectacular recording career that spanned almost 50 years.

The Righteous Brothers are true blue soul; pure talent; this classic music can't be touched tdy; no other artists could touch this

“You’re My Soul And My Inspiration “ by them is good too.

Perfection ! No other words needed ❤️

I've been listening to techno since I was 12 but Unchained Melody is one of my all-time favs. It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

living proof that everybody has got SOUL!!!

When you were bowing and saying how much you loved the raspy voice I was thinking "just wait Doc you ain't heard nothing yet" referring to the part when they got up on the middle stage and let it loose

Bobby actually had alot of stage fright..it took big balls for him to get up and sing.. Bobby died..but not before they got into the rock and roll hof

This is the 1st time I had an actual conversation with a reactor. When you said "Did you hear that? ... I answered "of course we did, we recommended the song!" Then you said something about their voices & I answered ... "just wait until you hear what's coming next!" 😃🤣😃🤣

I believe the term "blue eyed soul" was invented for them...

This is--as far as I can recall--the only song that I never, EVER get tired of hearing. I bought it on 45 when it first came out, and pretty much wore it out. Then I bought another one. Wore that one out, too. I think Phil Spector sent his kids through college just on the money I spent on Righteous Brothers records. The thing that really strikes me about this particular song is that i honestly don't know anyone who wasn't completely bowled over by it the first time they hard it. There are some songs that, when you first hear them, you think, "That's' not too bad", and the more times you hear it, the more you start to like it. Then after a while you start to get a little tired of it. and eventually you forget about it and go on to something new. But this song just plain knocks you on your ass from the get-go--like it did to you--and from then on you NEVER tire of it. It's almost like it burrows its way into your brain, and you just can't get it out. And you don't want to, anyway.

I have watched almost every reaction to this song, and yours is probably my favorite now. Such a great reaction video! This is one of my favorite songs. I like the way you analyzed many parts of the song, breaking it down, and sharing your thoughts. And you keep it light and fun. You are right, their 2 voices work so well together on this, one low and one high, trading off. I had a great time watching

I love the contrast between between the raspy "baby" moments and the tenderness of the "Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you". Throw in the richness of the rest of his singing and the falsetto coming in, there's nothing you could do to this song to make it any better than it is.

From 1964 I believe.... one of the greatest vocal performances in mainstream 20th century music

Bill Medley, the one one the right is alive and still sings. Bobby Hatfield, the one on the left, died in 2003.

They are a once in a life time duet! Blue eyed soul!

The best duo of all time

GREAT REACTION Doc!!!! You right Doc....that love is coming back!!!

I grew up on this and other great music. People actually sang and played instruments. No autotune, synthesizers, etc. I have been to a Righteous Brothers concert and they were as good live as they were recorded. No difference. Same with other greats like Roy Orbison.

Why are there some dislikes on this video?!? The Righteous Brothers are amazing!!!

Phil Specter and the wall of sound. This was done in one take in the studio, in mono. Blue eyed soul at it's very best. If you can find it try the Phil Specter produced River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner.

“She’s lost that loving feeling” Top Gun! Ultimate wingman song!!!

Bill Midley with the deep voice still sings with his daughter, but sadly, Bobby Hatfield, the one with the high voice has passed.

Doc - this is one of the few PERFECT songs I have ever heard - even Phil Spector, who produced this masterpiece, could find NO criticism.

Blue eyed brothers of soul... I like it man...those cats were righteous baby!

Their entire catalogue is great!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction Doc Rich!!!

Unchained Melody is a perfect song by the Righteous Brothers featuring Bobby Hatfield.

This is undoubtedly one of the best reactions I've ever seen! LOVED IT!

One of the greatest songs ever written and the best duo of all time!

I hope whenever you hear some young person not giving old music a chance, just because it's "old", you're going to set the record straight. Preach to your fellow young'uns. Old doesn't mean bad.

I am so glad that you enjoyed one of my favorite records from when I was growing up. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said that it was the best record he ever heard. The Righteous Brothers were amazing singers, but what can get lost is the music that supported them. This record was produced by Phil Spector, and his "Wall of Sound" technique was very prominent, but it did not overpower the singers. As a person, Phil Spector is absolutely bat-crap crazy, but he was the most amazing producer in the recording business. Check out a few songs by The Crystals produced by Spector, one of the best being "Then He Kissed Me". "Da Doo Ron Ron" is another great song by the Crystals. The Ronettes was another group that Spector produced. One of their biggest hits was "Be My Baby". Check these records out, and listen to the music. I think that they are amazing.

This song had a resurgence in 1986 when Top Gun came out. A very famous scene was this song..... " she's lost that lovin' feeling" "no Mav, she hasn't" "yes she has"....

❤❤😊😊grew up with the the righteous brothers. They made my teenage years a blast! Just love 'em!!❤❤❤😊😊

You will be just as floored by them singing Unchained Melody❣️

Soul and Inspiration

Bobby Spector wrote this song about his father who passed away. He put on his tomb stone .......TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM........I was in senior year of H.S. When this came out and it was played at all the dances we attended. Great slow dancing. Please play to know him.

Many people don't realize that Raspy guy, Bill Medley, sang the theme to the movie Dirty Dancing,& that he did much more spanning Decades!!!

The year was 1964 when this song came out. It's definitely one of the greatest songs ever. I so wish I could've grew up in those days.

Bill Medley is still alive. My favorite is I’ve Had the Time of my Life from the movie Dirty Dancing. I can’t listen to it over & over & over again......👍🏼👍🏼😁

It is so nice in the day and age of total divisiveness to watch a young Black man appreciating the music of my generation and "Blue Eyed Soul." In addition, I realized I had the chance back in the 70's to approach Bobbie Hatfield, (the 'high' part falsetto) who was playing the slots in Vegas and just tell him he had my Mother's maiden name for a last name. Then I thought better of it, and made the decision to just leave him alone. Now I wished I had just talked to him even if he just brushed me off. Amazing one of the best Duos ever. Bill Medly is still alive. I am now going to watch to see your reaction to "unchained melody," can't wait.

I was just waiting for your reaction when Bobby went into his gospel wailll. Thanks for listening to this.

Haha I love how Bobby typically gets underestimated (in these types of videos) until the last few seconds of the song where he just lets it rip 😂

Bobby Hatfield (the blonde) died about 15 yrs ago. Bill Medley is alive and currently performs with another partner.

I love seeing these young people experiencing for the first time our music who just really love good music

You're right. Today and even in the future will acknowledge 20th century as the renascence of Music. The problem with today's music in the 21st century is we have too many artist with inflated ego. Their persona is more important than their song.

That is why they are in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.

Thank you for playing this song! I love how you go back and replay the good parts

I hear you! Yep, NO ONE says baby like him!

This song is one of my all time favorites!

Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield both born in 1940. They were both only 24 here. Bobby passed away in 2003 after they were inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame but Bill is still singing on tour.

I am 70 years old and I remember when this song came out

Bobby died in 2003, Bill still sings. Bill had a #1 hit diet with Jennifer Warnes in 1987 with "I Had The Time Of My Life" for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. The song charted again when it was rereleased for an anniversary. Another side note: Bobby appeared in an episode of "Cheers", as himself.

They say this was the most played song on the radio in the 20th century with over 8 million plays.

Brings back memories of my youth.

Music unites everyone. Regardless of language or looks or race or sexuality, across all cultures, music is a universally uniting art.

I believe the kast hit that Bill Medley had was with Jennifer Warnes with "Time of my life" from the movie dirty dancing

Timeless, growing up in the sixties this song will always be apart of my life, remember it well

How this song/video received 37 dislikes is beyond me... The Righteous Brothers are amazing. It's cliché I know, but they don't make em like this anymore.

Your reaction to the "Blue-eyed Soul" put a smile on my face.....

They are sooo good, I've often wondered if they are the white Jackson family. You just have to think how much practice did they go through together. Melodies, harmonies sound PERFECT.

Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" is an almost perfect example of blue-eyed soul. Check her out. :)

Love your reaction! It looked genuine. I did not know it was the most played song in the 20th century. Thanks for passing that along. I was 15 when that was film....1965. Good memories!!! :)

Bill Medley (main vocal) is the guy that sung the main song from "Dirty Dancing", (I've Had) The Time of My Life" with Jennifer Warnes. Also very well sung by Bill. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is my favorite Righteous Brothers song.

These guys have soul with the top soul singers like Ray Charles, Percy Sledge, Ben E King. This is music this is Soul ❤

New to you. Christmas surprise for me! Nice reaction, and I hope you keep them coming. I am only 1 of their legion of fanatical fans. They were great, they were RIGHTEOUS, "Bue-eyed soul" was a specific reference to them, and by the way they were only soul brothers, not biological ones. There are many of their songs on KZfaq, my personal favorite was UNCHAINED MELODY, 1965, live solo performance by Bobby (the tenor), and I hope you treat yourself and us with your reaction. Easy to spot - Bobby is blonde, young (25) and wearing a pink sport jacket. Recorded by something like 670 people around the world, well known, like Elvis, but no one ever came close to Bobby. Consensus is that this is Bobby"s song, and I agree! I believe, but I'm not sure, that I read that "Unchained Melody was the most recorded song ever, and also that it got the most air time.Happy Holidays Doc!

Song came out in 1964. Bobby Hatfield (short blond guy) died several years ago; Bill Medley is still alive & performing...with another guy.

Watched this over and over again just for your reaction you are awsome.

The singer with the deeper voice is Bill Medley. He is the male vocalist on a song that you've almost certainly heard before, a song that gets played at almost every wedding called "I've Had The Time Of My Life". I've known this song for several decades but never put 2 and 2 together to realize it's Bill Medly singing this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqiBf6iQt9i4g4k.html

I love that you read up on them before the video 💖 I grew up in Metro Detroit, so I was raised on Motown. Even my little mind was blown when I found out at the age of like 7 that they were white dudes. This song is definitely a GOAT. Gives me ALL the feels every time

You're doin' the damn thang man! Damn it, made me smile and subscribe.

Bobby Hatfield died in 2003, age 63. He was found by his singing partner Bill Medley dead in a hotel room from a heart attack brought on by cocaine use. His heart wasn't in great shape, but cocaine is deadly especially if someone already has heart disease. Stay away from drugs, people! Gone too soon. This song still makes me cry.

Bobby Hatfield, the higher voice, unfortunately passed away in 2003 at the age of 63. Bill Medley, lower voice, is still aliive. This was December, 1964.

It's funny. I have watched sooo many of ya'll reacting to this song and NO ONE has mentioned (at the beginning of the song) how Bobby Hatfield is sitting! He has his arm leaning on his knee and his head is leaning on his hand! Soooo relaxed...almost seems bored with it all. LOL I realize he wasn't bored (well, I guess he could have been) but I have never seen anyone else, before or after, take that bodily position on a stage. I love this man. May he RIP.

"You're my soul and inspiration"

Bill Medley (the guy on the right with the deep voice) is still alive but sadly Bobby Hatfield passed away about 20 years ago. Another fun fact: About 20 years later Bill sang Time of My Life with Jennifer Warnes for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. :D
