That's what they call "Blue Eyed Soul" :)

That old lady watched top gun you should watch it too it’s a good movie.

thank you for the highlight...from an old hippy who's a fan of your reactions.... as we would say back in the day.... peace

I’ve been following you for years and love your reactions!!! Never knew you were Candace’s brother !!! She’s the best. !

Hey I know this off subject in all but the one video where u spoke one on one on racism I gave u a shout out on who you are and how wholesome n Genuine you are I did it so more will flock to you and see a different perspective that they hadn't seen before you are awesome your videos are something that helps my depression have an awesome day 😀😊😉

Jimmy Shirley, Awwwww.........you just made me misty-eyed. I'm one of those 'grandparents'. Can I please adopt you?! : )

My mom legally came to the U.S. when she was 14 years old in the late 1960s early 1970s. She clawed and fought to her way to get through racism, hard work, and saved up enough money to buy a house. The stories she told me about the hard life she went through made me think of the ridiculous petty things I complained about my pampered life. Through her sacrifice (in addition to my work experience), I have a roof over my head and food on the table. Respect the older generations who worked their ass off so that we could have it easy.

LOL! You have no idea! LOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much they had the music the love and strong wisdom I always listen to my dad when he has something to say

My grandparents were way cooler than my parents. I wonder if it's a generation thing: parents are automatically not cool.

We loved your cousin Bobby Hatfield and yes we do miss him. (Love the Righteous Brothers Bill Medley too)

A little late, but very sorry for your loss, our loss.

Awesome voice 🥰

Sorry for your loss, but what a voice, I'm so glad I got the chance to here his music x

Sorry for your loss,he had the most beautiful voice ever.

Movie was Top gun

65 here we are on the same page my friend.

I agree!

This young man is presenting quality content, I am much the same as you, I am retired and content to while away the hours entertaining myself with the modern miracle of the internet. As I think back on my grandma`s spending their days waiting for a relative to visit or church on Sunday`s then daytime TV for the rest of the week. I certainly have it better, and realize that I did not visit them enough. This channel is worth supporting, I can peel off couple of bucks a month in gratitude for his work. Thanks Man!

As a young, black, transexual martian I completely agree.

As an Apache attack helicopter, I agree.

Blue eyed soul, Delta Blues... that's what I grew up hearing it called. Elvis for example. Most of the time I can tell the difference but still, it's just awesome.

Groovy times eh? 🌻

So true. We listen to all of it.

You're not wrong.

I hate that name...a genre of music doesn’t belong to a race.

Amen 🙏

The media is trying to split the races! If they (the government) can divide us, then they conquer all!!! Let us all open our eyes people. LOVE IS ONE RACE, GODS RACE because HE created ALL PEOPLE.

scdevon believe it was ‘64!

Today you just got to be ratchet and raggedy to be on national tv

People today have REAL talent too. I can find good music in any genre from any decade with REAL talent in all.

December 1964.

@@helenahandbasket3016 not like back in the day

Thats awesome! So glad to hear you've been married that long. Thanks for watching!

Jane Cookson also married 44 yrs. .. my folks used to have their friends over ( with their kids) and they’d load up the record player with 45’s and dance the night away.. well the last 3 songs played were Soul & Inspiration , You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling... and then Unchained Melody I was 11 in 65 and one of the friends girl was 12.. we got caught dancing real close and smooching( we were imitating our parents); they all had a good laugh ... different times back then... good times

@@Modern-Renaissance-Man , another fantastic voice would be Matt Munro, maybe singing " softly as I leave you " would be a good start 👍

@@shugd3 Yaaaasss!!! One of my favourite songs of ALL time. Matt had a beautiful voice.

& God Bless You to in health & happiness 🙏🏾🙏🏻

idk about sharing some of the music was stolen. white people stealing black entertainers music.

Have you done a DNA test young Tye? I'm pretty sure you've got some white stuff sloshing around in you and you might even be able to join the Righteous Brothers appreciation band.

B if you liked that listen to Little Lantin lupe lu

Amen!!!

or age. :P

@@mikenapoli5789 - MAN..., I had forgotten about that song. Now I gotta' listen to it again....!!

@BeerCamp Slave What? He praised them. Maybe you weren't truly listening to his comments.

Patrick Lemire Bwahahaha nice!

True story

I remember this being the #1 break-up song tht both girls and guys would play over and over back in high school..late 60's.

Well the song is a little ironic because he's begging for her to love him again but man, you sing and ask like that, you got to love him right.

It was called "Blue eyed soul man"

Check this out. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJ1ippR-35nXoY0.html

Also around this period was "The Rascals" , who started out as the 'Young Rascals"...very soulful and phenomenal group.

@@pacificnorthwester Love the Pie but how about this cover. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNZ0ncWm0Za7qXk.html

Omg i loved lou rawls

Quint lol is that true?!? Lol I’ll Google it.

I thought it was a record exec that said that, but that is how they got their name by someone saying that they were Righteous Brothers and their singing was Righteous!

Linda P .....very true

Laura Aycock - El Toro. They were both from Orange County.

Very true. Black Marines from El Toro Base heard a couple of white guys were singing R&B and blues at The Black Derby and dropped by to check it out. Were impressed enough to holler "That's righteous brother" and greeted them saying "How you doin' righteous brothers" on their way into the club. Both Bill and Bobby have told that story. Took it as a term of respect and would never have used it otherwise.

😂

I caught soul way young. Daddy didnt like it, but it kept sneaking in some soul.

💀🤣🤣

Thanks for sharing that memory!

Definitely love it❤

YEAH!!! Back in 1965. They were the hippest, coolest white dudes ever. That's why they were called the Righteous Brothers.

Yes! In the early 60s, Motown, was referred to as, "The sound of young America" in order to be all-inclusive.

Do you know if there is a clip of smocky saying that? Would love to hear it. Thanks

In the beginning most people thought they were black just hearing them on the radio. More people than this channels host were "shocked" to see that they were "white dudez.. TWO white dudez" when they appeared on TV. :)

In today's society they would be accused of white appropriation....

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was use in Top Gun movie by Tom Cruise.

Amen RIP Bobby

Und wie schön Bobby war, wird auch nie vergessen.❤

Unchained Melody...... Best version of all

yes it is the best version of all. I so agree!

Please do unchained melody

The Righteous Brothers "Blue Eyed Soul" You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was a hit in 1964. Sinatra was earlier, but was popular still in the 60's.

Unchained Melody is a must listen!

Sheila Abrams bill medley, the guy doing the lead in the song also did the theme song to dirty dancing movie. I have to admit, I always thought Bill medley was black. He just has that soul in his voice!

I grew up to Bill Medley. Love him.

@@dunlap4info first time i heard bon scott singing Highway to Hell i thought he was a fat black woman. gospel truth!

Nature reaction

It's a funny response

Me too. As a 51-year old Italian woman, he made me laugh so hard. Yes, white men can have soul too. Love it when he said GOD BLESS YOU ALL, in Jesus' name! May GOD bless you too brother. 🙏

Wouldn't that be an awesome scene for a lifetime movie?!!!!!

Same thing with Buddy Holly and that is a scene in a movie.

for some reason all I can think of is the scene from "Adventures in babysitting"

After that show and watch one of the audience members said to them, you guys are some Righteous Brothers. That name stuck

@@Modern-Renaissance-Man react to a norwegian band called A-HA.

never knew that! great post

@PurelyAfrican I always read it was a member of the audience, but if it was Sam Cooke that would have been so much sweeter, yeah?

@PurelyAfrican If that was true, that is one HELL of a compliment

Same here

Thank you for being one of the FEW to actually admit that. Folk act like they are scared to say it with fear of being labeled racist. Sad isn't it. But, I'm so glad you said that.

@@Modern-Renaissance-Man Music surpasses race. As it should do. When I first heard this song I thought 'wow', it never occurred to me to ask myself are they black guys or white guys?

@@focuselp ok? well it occurred ro me.

@@Modern-Renaissance-Man and that's ok. All that matters is those men can sing!!!! Woooo!

@Helen Saghy I guess Jet was half right about Mariah lol.

It requires talent

Seek and ye shall find! Check out Durant Jones is it any wonder and true love two awesome modern classics

I will; thanks for the heads up!

Nick Also need to see Leon bridges, mayor Hawthorne just ain’t gonna work out, and St Paul and the broken bones NPR performance and something different on NPR from fellow Irish man Dermot Kennedy

Beacuse the SJP'S (pussys) would piss all over it.

LMBO 👋

He'll never live it down

"Ray Charles taught us to sing like that by listening to his song" - Bill Medley

Ray Charles, Lou Rawls, Barry White....some of the most soulful and sexy voices you’ll ever hear! 👍 💿

Lol me too

They also had a big hit called soul and inspiration which you would also love, please react to that one,thank you.

yeah, they were originally called The Paramours, but when they were performing a live show one time a guy in the audience shouted out "that was righteous, brothers!" and it stuck with them.

J Sowders You saved me explaining this-cheers.

Maris Valainis I love that too. Truly great song.

Facts!

check out wayne cochran

That's right bring back that loving feeling.

Glad you found the one and only, incomparable Bill Medley. The epitome of smooth.

Greatest Duet of all time

I thought these were black dudes

I wholly did not know that.

100% true

Almost true, their moniker was bestowed upon them by off duty servicemen in their home base in Orange County, California.The patrons of clubs would express their appreciation of Bob and Bill by calling out " That's really righteous, brothers!!!". Quite a while before they played The Apollo.

@@waukivorycopse2402 I guess only the apollo counts then.

Sorry, what do you mean?

Mark Chmura I’ve watched this like 10 times just to hear that quote 😂

People were saying that about them back in 1964.

Well, SOME of us can sing! ;)

@@1958Shemp Some can even dance.

@@dominionn09 Me, too.

It just shows that whites can sing better.

Lol...loved the look on his face!! ❤

1000 like to you too

I have a playlist called they had soul - full of white people !

@@matthewkresse5697 Was that comment trying to say that white people can sing better than black people or that white people can sing better than people think they can sing ? I just want to know before I make a comment about what you just said . Because my personal opinion is that color has nothing to do with a persons voice and I dont want to start an argument if I misunderstood what you was trying to say .

And behaving yourself...🤣

Absolutely Right 🤩👍 👍

@BeerCamp Slave Quit lying

this is my latest favorite genre of youtube videos

true words

So true...watching someone too young to know these legends is soo entertaining. Young people with open minds who want to broaden their musical knowledge please listen up! ❤

You hear a lot of the arrangement, too, that you never heard before. When you were just bopping around, instead of sitting here listening carefully to the song..

it was not Bill Medley's daughter that was married to Axl Rose. It was Don Everly's daughter from the Everly Brothers.

You forgot to mention that one of the background singers was a young Cher.

Miss Bobby Hatfield so much we lost him in 2003 great tenor!!!!!

Coolrockndad was wondering if someone would recall they are the original Blue-Eyed Soul brothers. So “RIGHTEOUS!”

Right, that's what they were trying to achieve.

I'm a 61 yr old sistah who relates 2 REAL MUSIC only interested in a few good Hip Hop tunes. I miss Soul| R&B music.

We grew up on this stuff, we miss that Motown sound! 🎵💓

I was a 80 baby, and my parents listened to the oldies 106.5 before the station folded. I still listen to this music.

Mike Johnson Lol ❤️ I agree

I’m a white lady in my mid sixties also there was some good music. My son is in his thirties and they like this stuff too....

My moms song I remember when she spent ,well she worked three jobs for almost nothing but she took us to see the "Temptation " she is gone but not that ❤️

Yeah, years ago I was shocked to discover that Charley Pride was black. RIP, by the way. Mr. Pride just passed away about three days ago.

Or Darius Rucker; but that guy’s got a voice that can take him through any genre, I think.

Oh yeah. Never thought about that

That was a 3 timer

i give u a million likes.he rubs his head when it makes no sense lmfao

He was getting chills!

I know right?

@@andreadeamon6419 I challenge anyone to find another video where he does it 3 or more times.
