Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another Righteous Brothers reaction with a first time live react of "Unchained Melody." Seeing the movie Ghost many years ago, I forgot how epic this song was. But even more epic is how Hatfield takes this song on another level with his live performance. See how he slays this thing so effortlessly. WOW!

It was said he was nervous because of his mother's presence. The only nervousness I sensed is at the end of his explanation of how they got their name. He sounded winded and I had to replay that several times before I understood what he said. Also, the way he smiled and nodded his head when he finished his statement was the only other nervousness he displayed. When it came time to sing, he was rock solid, relaxed, and delivered a flawless masterpiece. I have l Iistened to this song for 15 straight days, several times a day, and I don't plan to stop anytime soon.

He was a countertenor, which is extremely rare, like 1 every generation. It means, he would cover the entire spectrum of both tenor and soprano. Ppl very often confuse it with falsetto, but Bobby never sang falsetto. Falsetto literally means "false note", an example is Bee Gees, who did it very well (and lets admit it, most ppl cant pull off doing falsetto well). But Bobby didnt do falsetto, coz he could cover the range naturally and fully. In fact, he was even a rare among the very vare countertenors, in that he could go even beyond the soprano range. He covered 5-6 octaves, which is absolutely insane! I saw another reaction video, where the young guy compared Bobby to Michael Buble, and I was like, nope, no way, not even close. Michael Buble is a very good tenor. He is not anywhere near Bobby Hatfield. It is highly unlikely, that any of us alive today will ever hear another voice like Bobbys. And the real kicker? Bobby never took a single singing lesson his entire life, he did it all by ear!

I was 10 years old when I watched this on the Andy Williams show. It still gives me chills and tears 58 years later! They FLAT don't make music like this anymore. The era between the 60s and the 80s produced some of the greatest music in history. This song, and Bobby Hatfield singing it, is the greatest performance of all time!

I don't know if it's just me, but did you notice how both times when Andy asked how they got their name and when he said he wanted them to do Unchained Melody, he only addressed Bill. It seemed like Bobby had to butt in as though he was the junior member of the duo because Bill was taller. Do you think this visit was rehearsed and how hard would it be to for them to laugh when they already knew what was going to be said? Obviously, all of them knew what song was going to be sung as it had to be rehearsed. What are your thoughts?

The original version of "Unchained Melody" was first written and performed in 1955, a prison movie titled "Unchained." You can hear portions of the studio version of "UM" in the movie "Ghost" (Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg). Since 1955, this song has been, perhaps, the most-covered song ever.

They always had so much fun doing Ray Charles songs. You can just tell how much Bill loves doing those with how much he lights up whenever they do a Ray Charles here or on Shindig.

On the studio version from 1965, he really wailed on this song, and that was used in Ghost. This live version is more intimate, and with a different ending. He did re-record this in 1990 when Ghost came out, because of licensing he received no royalties from the original recording after 1966 ish. Both his original version, re-released by the record company, and his new version were on the charts at the same time in 1990. Unmatched singer.

That was a bit of stage play. When Bill and Bobby were recording the album they were choosing songs to do solo and Bobby wanted this one… they had both sung it with their separate bands in the past. In some interviews Bill has said they flipped a coin - but once Bobby recorded it he was the one who ‘owned’ it. Bill arranged the music, played piano and produced the track. They were both surprised when Phil Specter put it on the B side of the single he was producing and it became an ‘accidental’ hit.

The duo both did solos .Together they were pure magic. Bobby was the tenor voice and Bill Melody was the baritone their voices shouldn't have blended together but it did and Wow. They were inducted into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2003 unfortunately Bobby passed away a few months after but Bill Melody is still singing and performing today.Listen to Your my soul and my inspiration They did a lot for soul together ❤

Bobby added that soaring ‘I need your love’ in the last verse and that is the change that came into common use. The crescendo (to me!) was not in his recorded versions but he did it sometimes live. Sam Cooke does a beautiful version that is closer to the way it was written. Twenty five years later Bobby re-recorded this and with his older, smokier voice (he was 50 yrs old) it was still lovely. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5l2gbaA2qyWnqM.html

I think the coin toss story may be a joke. Bobby sang this song with his group The Variations before he and Bill had even become Righteous Brothers. Bobby's solo recording for the RBs was released in July 1965, before this live performance on the Andy Williams Show, in Oct 1965. IF the performer was decided by a coin toss, no doubt WE were the winners! Most breathtaking, beautiful and heartfelt live performance I've ever seen. 🕊️🌠💛

No Autotune Bobby tenor, died 2003 but Bill Medley baritone is still singing. Listen to Dirty Dancing that they sang. I grew up with these guys n Elvis if you haven't reacted to Elvis listen to American Trilogy Aloha concert1973 that was broadcasted around the world and seen by 1.5 Billion people I sat 3rd row center n couldn't take my eyes off of him. Bridge Over Troubled Water Vagus 1970, You Gave Me A Mountain Aloha concert 1973, Suspicious Minds Vagus 1970( Elvis famous gyrating moves) Make The World Go Away Vagus 1970 n over 500 more. I never met Elvis but was friends with Charlie Hodge his confidant and best friend for years after Elvis died. Charlie got to know the human side of him. I kept a big journal of the many stories of Elvis.i love your reaction n thank you for taking the Chace with no pauses Sorry U-Tube

Yes, Bobby has the most acclaimed version of this song, but he isn't the original singer of the song. Originally its from the 1955 low budget little-known movie "UNCHAINED " a movie about a prisoner torn between escaping to be with his wife and family or finishing his sentence. In the movie it was sung by Todd Duncan. Also in that year was recorded by Al Hibbler, Les Baxter and Roy Hamilton they took the song to top 10 on Billboard Hot 100,jumping ahead to 1984 The Manhattan Transfer did a remake of a cover on their"BOP DOO-WOOP " album.
