What country are you two from? There’s many countries thatI recognize your accent from, but I’m not sure.

Gentlemen...as someone who grew up WITH this song as a kid...I LOVE to see younger ppls faces when that first really high note hits. It really is like a religious experience in music that totally opens up this song to them and it blows them away. You can tell it just hit them right in their heart which IS where the love of music lives in all of us. This was a live performance but I forget where it was filmed. There was no such thing as auto tune back then~you either had talent OR you didn't. He is a true tenor. It says Righteous Brothers and YES there ARE two of them so find their other videos and you'll be amazed by his brothers voice also. He is a true baritone. Look for their song called You've Lost That Loving Feeling~it's a duet between them and one of their most popular hits ok? THIS song became so popular because it was close to around the time of the Vietnam War era. So a lot of soldiers from around THE WHOLE WORLD used it as their love song to their gfs and wives back home. It has won many awards worldwide. Check out the history on it ok? Enjoy!

Best live performance ever. That’s all that can be said

You are right on brother

Thank you for explaining the history of this song. It's a very sad song❤❤❤

Listen to Rock and Roll Heaven. Bobby is the leader of that band.

Still does can not see anyone taking it from him.

No crack, coz its not falsetto. Bobby was a countertenor, meaning he could cover the entire spectrum of both tenor and soprano naturally. Countertenors are very rare, like 1 per generation, and Bobby was even more special, he could go higher than many sopranos, never falsetto, just pure natural. He had a span of 4-5 octaves depending on the source, absolutely unmatched. Bill covered bass, baritone and into low tenor. Combined the 2 covered every note on a piano.

@Hillary's emails to Lorne i think at times those performers must not have really known the level of their own talent and probably feared disappointing their audiences. The fact they could rise above it to stir our souls is a tribute to theirs and their professionalism.

Yeah. Back in those days, you actually had to be able to sing to make it in the music business.

@@cra-craintenn6327 Exactly ! My Mum was a soprano and she said you could always tell a "proper" singer because they hit the upper notes and do not slide up to it. Just like Bobby used to !

Nailed it!

He wasnt entirely at ease that night. His parents were in the audience and he was actually pretty nervous

Bobby owns this song but Id have loved hearing themsiig this in harmony. It would v have gone to another sublime level.

its actually common, whats not common is his low range ability in combination. His full range in perfect pitch without technology assist is legend

How old was Bobby and how did he die? I was in Vietnam when I first heard this song on the radios at our base camp/s. Greatest song I ever heard.

Bobby Hatfield died of a cocaine overdose according to what I saw published. Bill Medley has permission to use Bobby Hatfield's voice dubbed in. I have seen Bill Medley perform in Branson, Missouri. The evening I saw the Righteous Brothers perform was October 14th but I do not remember the year. My late husband, Joe bought us the tickets for my birthday. Have had lots of nice gits for my birthday. A friend named Sigalit who lives in Henderson, Nevada asked me what show ticket I wanted to see in Las Vegas for my birthday. I commented the Eagles. She was significantly younger than myself and said she knew the concierge at the MGM Grand. That show sold out in 2 1/2 hours but Sigalit delivered. The Eagles concert was by far the best concert I ever attended. Suspect you and I are close in age as my late husband also served in Vietnam. US Navy. By the way, Sigalit who is Isreal, thought she only knew two Eagles's songs. Tirns out she inly didn't know two of the songs as the Eagles, like the Righteous Brothers are classics! Hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane. By the way, Bobby Hatfield sang his high school fight song from Appleton, Wisconsin. Bobby was a Wisconsinitr and Bill Medley is from California. Bill Medley was instrumental in helping get the 3 Texas Tenors' careers off the ground. If you have never seen them, please do! They have voices like angels! They sing every genre of music in their show from Pavaroti, to old rock and roll to country to theater classics. From a ladies' perspective they definitely are eye candy!

@@christinadolan119 While Bobby was known to be a cocaine user, but he did not die from a cocaine overdose as was first reported. His death was determined to be a heart attack. He had an underlying heart condition all his life. Bobby always suffered from serious stage fright.

I'm not trying to take anything away from this legend Bobby Hatfield, Dimash sings extremely well in 6 octaves, check him out!

Thankyou Mr54nomore there were gaps in my knowledge and you filled them. This song continues to grip my heart with peace and happiness and I agree Bobby gave us an epic performance that still has the power to affect today's youth right into their souls 😊-

@@annapercy6002 Agreed 100%! I see so many reaction videos of todays youth from different demographics. Who are reacting to Bobby Hatfield's 'Unchained Melody' live epic performance back in (1965). Many of them have garnered over 50thousand views in the last couple of days...It seems 'Unchained Melody' is trending more so now then ever before. Stay safe...

Didn't know that. Adds to the meaning
