He stood on that stage with only a mike in his hand - it was ALL him!

Blue eyed soul at its finest. This song is why most of us were conceived back in the 60s. Lol 🤘

I was only 12 years old when this song was released. It is still my all time favorite and always will be!

That was the incredible voice and talent of Bobby Hatfield!

One take, live and no autotune. Oh yeah, 55 years ago. Any takers?

This pure raw talent! I watched him sing this on the Ed Sullivan show in 1965. I was 15 yrs old. He was awesome!!!! RIP Bobby! ❤❤❤

This song was first recorded in the 1930s and has been covered by Leadbelly, Elvis Presley and dozens of others, but this Righteous Bros version by Bobby Hatfield is the absolute TOP of the list.

Hi. Great reaction. Over the years this song has been performed by lots of people. There will never be anyone like Bobby Hatfield. He was truly amazing.

This was recorded with out auto tune, that's his natural voice

No matter who it is or when it is, good music is good music. Period.

This was before Electronics could adjust your voice to sound how they need you to. This was REAL RAW Talent, I remember when this version came out my sisters would just keep repeat playing it for hours. But it never gets old, Thanks for the memory's.

One of the Greatest voices of all time.🌹

This song takes on more meaning when understood in context...the song comes from a prison movie about a man doing time and singing to his love from prison...In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film (released in 1955).... North then asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics, but Zaret initially declined, saying he was too busy painting his house. North was able to convince him to take the job, and together they wrote "Unchained Melody."...and the rest is history...maybe the most beautifully written romantic song of all time...and as I understand Zaret did eventually get his house painted.

For those interested check this out. The note progression is. B4, B sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, A sharp, B, C, (octave up) C sharp, D, D sharp, E, F, F sharp, G, G-5 21 notes Precious few vocalists can do that and maintain control while making it look so easy. From the Andy Williams show

Thanks dude - a very old song - a year before my grandmother was born - when did I get old.......I saw them live.

I was 15 when this came out. My girlfriend and I danced to this! Great memories!

It takes like 3 seconds to realize that this is the real deal! Am I right?

Back in the day when we danced with our girlfriend to this song the only thing moving was the beating of our hearts

Dude, what you hear is major league in music. When you can't play 3 music notes neither sing, the only choice left is doing hip-hop, RAP or meanstream shitty pop songs, with the help of AutoTune fake singing and the other studio fake tricks and tracks. In short, crappy art. Meanstream music industry is now a rip off.

Bobby Hatfield he can make a pissed-off person smile

this song was wrote I believe in 1955 for a prison movie, Bobby Hatfield (Righteous Bros) recorded it in 1965. Let me set the stage for you its the last song of the night, you pull your woman close, put your arm around her take her hand in your other hand and fold your fingers around hers, turn that hand so that her hand is laying on your chest and yours on hers, she can feel your heartbeat you can feel hers, your running your fingers up and down her spine, she has her arm around your neck rubbing your neck, her fingers playing with the back of your hair, you lay your check on the top of her head, she looks up at you, softly kiss her check, she raises up on her toes for a kiss, have you got the picture, lol

This was live

Classic!! Awesome pick...👍💚🧡💜💛❤👏

New sub 😁 Thank you , it's nice to see such a young man willing to keep an open mind . As for me , I love great music from almost every genres

Goes right through me! Just WOW!

HAHA, I like how when bobby hatfield HIT you with that first run you started fixin your hair. A person would have to be dead to not get drawn in when that perfect blend of music, melody ,and that tennar voice makes everything else just disappear.

Even Elvis didn't sing this song this good.

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

That is definitely Bobby's song! No one has ever sung it better and never will. He was incredible!

You take a phone call during one of the best vocal performances in history? Oooookkkkk

blue eyed soul

When Bobby bites his lip at the end knowing he NAILED it! His parents were in the audience too! This was featured in the movie Ghost... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g85xeJadtsWqeJs.html The same clip, but with singer Andy Williams asking why it was a solo! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMCKpMlkpryuknk.html A bit more of that same show... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ga1zn9lqrLG9naM.html

I was there and loved the brothers and this song. They were very popular. You should listen to a song with both brothers.

They were Righteous, Brothers.

Your hair had nice reactions. Keep it this way, u'll get more subscribers.

Perfection

For another amazing voice from this era, try rock and roller Roy Orbison. His friend Elvis Presley called Roy's voice the greatest and most distinctive voice he had ever heard. Try "Only The Lonely": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7ODm9py09bMaJ8.html and "You Got It" (Live in 1988, shortly before he passed away): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otyCZLyYuZ21iac.html Oh, and he also covered "Unchained Melody" which is alright: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNaEmLqlnbC-mYU.html although Bobby Hatfield owns this song.

I like your set-up but we'd enjoy seeing your reactions more if you weren't facing away most of the time.

38k views 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💪 u need to do more music reviews

This song is about a guy in prison waiting to get out and hoping his woman will be waiting when he does.

Thanks for the video and reaction, not my fav because you not facing us, but that's OK, your reaction to me is whats most important. I would just recommend that you work on your setup prior to offering another reaction video. you can easily do a screen on-screen video. but it's up to you man. other than that, nice video

🤩😍

Geweldig 28-02-2021

time as in jail time. song about being in jail

No auto tune here! Had not been invented yet!

A direct feed of the audio would be 100x better than recording your speakers. Keep up the good work tho!

No auto tune.......

Great tune. Great reaction I've got a request. K.A.A.N is the artist. Eagles is the song. This dude is the most unfer there radar rapper out there. Give him a listen.

This reaction fell ground level low.. Lousy self serving set up yet didn't outshine the unmatchable vocal of Bobby Hartfield.

R.I.P BOBBY.

In my humble opinion, yes sir... especially on songs that you’re not really sure about or you haven’t heard ever before some of the most critical parts of the song are talked over as people are critiquing them… To wait until the song is completely over and not talk over any of the music you will find many people will like that ....that you didn’t talk over the music...I have noticed on this one particular song that has been critiqued by maybe 100 people that I’ve seen so far and almost all of them talk over the music! Be different and don’t do that… Just saying… Best wishes in your endeavors

Try 68 live raspy version of elvis one night with you

680 people tried to do it better none came close to Bobby hatfields voice and version

You can't put your phone away while you're making a reaction video?

You spoiled it by running your mouth at the ending.

Yeah, I watched this because you looked pretty cool, but if this was the first time you watched this, you missed all the good stuff. Usually, when reactors are compelled to comment during a song, they stop it, and when they restart, it's backed up 5 seconds, so they don't miss anything. It seems like you're more interested in your own presentation than a respectful review of the performance. I don't know why you even clapped and commented. It seemed like you were too busy with you to appreciate it. I'm a big fan of reaction vids, but this didn't cut it bro. Just sayin'. Constructive criticism.

You did good by not talking much and then started talking on the most important note on the whole song the very last note and word... I know you didn’t mean to because you did not know this song , but you need to listen to it and not be talking at the end of the song to get the full affect… Looks like you’ve got a good thing going...and Good luck on your site! Now you have to listen to some Bob Seger… Main Street, fire Lake, like a rock, etc. etc.

It's unpolite to turn your back on people😉

You're the perfect example of how NOT to do a reaction video.

Thumbs down for running your mouth during the last (and best) part of the song.
