I just wished Bobby Hatfield was still with us to see all the amazing comments and reactions to this song

If you judged this as a 9 out of 10, then NO song is a 10 !! Best live performance ever !

simply one of the greatest performances by anyone, singing anything, EVER....never gets old

Your respect by not interrupting the performance is greatly appreciated.

Bobby Hatfield: a voice sent from heaven for all of us to hear.

A 9?? What the heck would be a 10? This was a live performance, live audience, pure talent.

only a 9 out of 10? This is acknowledged by most to be one of the greatest live performances in music history. This was performed on the Andy Williams TV show in 1965. No auto tune. Simply beautiful.

No artist has ever done better, this is Bobby’s song for all the ages.

Best love song ever, best live performance ever. 10/10

The depth of the talent and soul of Bobby Hatfield is timeless. RIP.

Chills every time. Absolutely perfect. He makes it look so easy. It isn’t.

Best live performance ever. Period.

That live performance is the G.O.A.T. Hands down!!!

You’re listening to a song done in the 60’s when music was real. Not computerized. I’ll take old school every time!

When silk got a reputation for being smooth Bobby said hold my beer.

loved your reaction! live performance, no autotune, family in audience and frightened young 24 year old, God Bless Bobby, RIP! we all still love your voice, TY!

They are the Righteous Brothers because 56 years later Bobby Hatfield's rendition of this beautiful song makes me say, "Oh. My. God!" I was an 11 year old little girl in Flint, Michigan, steeped in the gospel, rhythm and blues my parents and older siblings listened to and when the Righteous Brothers came on the scene, they entered right into my heart with all the other music in the sound track of my life. Blue eyed soul? HE** YEAH! Loved it then, LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW!

I was 11 years old when that song came out 1965. I've been appreciating that song for more 55 years .

Bobby Hatfield (Rip 1940-2003) was a legendary tenor, arguably the greatest ever. Perfect pronunciation and vowels singing. He sang this solo and was his achievement. Beautiful voice 👌

Done live on the Andy Williams show. No auto tune. Just pure talent.

9 out of 10? That makes this the most Underrated thing ever in the 13.5 Billion year history of the Universe.

That was the most phenomenal performance in 1965. It stunned my mom and dad, brother and sisters all in awe.

Probably the greatest vocal performance of all time, especially considering that this was LIVE! Even better than their recorded version.

This song was named "The Song of the Century" and is known for being one of the best songs ever !!

Live performance, no auto tune genuine pure talent!

I give it a 10 out of 10. This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Just belted it out with great control and power, effortlessly.

If you noticed, Bobby Hatfield (Righteous Brother) never even STRAINED singing notes into the high ALTO range. Incredible for a man's voice! 😁

9 out of 10?? Bobby Hatfield pouring his soul into every note of Unchained Melody is a performance for the ages. Off the charts ! 10 out of 10 doesn't do this justice. Most beautiful performance I have ever witnessed. RIP Bobby Hatfield 🕊️💙

I was raised in the 60's and when I first heard the Righteous brothers I thought they were a Black soul group! The two brothers had some great hits back in the 60's!

Bobby Hatfield totally owns this song. Righteous Brothers are the only musical act in history to have this song become a number one hit when it was released in the 60s and then have it become another number one hit when it was released again when the movie Ghost came out.This song will always stand the test of time.

I LOVE seeing people's reaction to this UNBELIEVABLE song. One of the greatest songs EVER ❣❣💋💋💋

Rest in peace Bobby thanks for being there

Bobby Hatfield’s voice makes you cry with joy

11 out of 10.

If you want to hear both brothers listen to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"

The late Bobby Hatfield. One of the most beautiful soulful voices. These songs have been used in movies and they're classics!

Might be the single greatest live T.V.performance ever!

This version of the song is the very best ever made. It was recorded live on the Andy Williams TV Show. What makes it special is the fact when Bobby sang the studio album version, he did not sing the G4 (G5-?) notes at the end. He ended the song on a lower octave. The Righteous Brothers were dubbed, "Blue-Eyed Soul" back in the day and its not hard to figure out why. Not only is Bobby's voice and control outstanding, the lyrics are beyond imagine, even for a love song. This song is already 55yrs old and will always endure the test of time. You know why? Because "Class never goes out of Style".

Just to add a fact (if it isn't further down in the comments) This was the first time he had performed in front of his Mom and Dad who were there, and he was sick with a cold. There probably isn't a song of theirs that you wouldn't appreciate. I had the great privilege of seeing them do this song and many others live in the mid 80's at the fierce prompting of a friend of mine who just bought tickets and said "we're going, you're driving"! It was wonderful.

The Brothers had just finished a duet on this, the Andy William's variety show. Bobby had won the coin toss to sing the followup solo. Singles back then were cut to fit a 45 rpm record play so they'd fit in a radio station play schedule. No song was EVER 3 mins or longer until Alice's Restaurant, Hey Jude and America Pie broke the recording mold. Bobby then gives a live performance, with no autotune, sings effortlessly through 20 separate notes through three (get that? - 3!!) different octaves, with perfect diction, tone and enunciation, unbelievable breath control and armature, all completely unheard of on any live broadcast or recording ever before. With this song alone having over 300 separate professional covers (including by Elvis and Sinatra), all the others declare this has become Bobby's song and will forever be his identity for all time. This video is used repeatedly by professional vocal coaches to demonstrate both "perfect" song and breath control, live performance and stage presence capture to their students. So, with that all made clear, Im curious. Where exactly, are you docking a point from him and who do you think could have ever performed it "better?"

I was a child and my parents made us watch the Andy Williams show every week. That episode is the only one that stuck in my head

Silky voice sweet melody.

I was so blessed to hear them through their career. Love them! So classy..

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. Back when men would sing with emotion to women not speak a phrase at them. But it never gets old, Thanks for the memory's.

NO NO. ITS A “ TEN” OUT OF TEN!!! The best version of this song ever! Play this song for your lady. She will melt into your arms!

i grew up with them, that generation of music, and man, i grieve those days ;( Just Divine they be :)

He was singing , with his parents in audience .he wanted to do a good job. 3cheers from Canada

The Righteous Brothers were the duo Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show. Many artists have done Unchained Melody but Bobby Hatfield's voice is unmatched. This is one of Bobby's solos, and it was produced by Bill Medley. RIGHTEOUS !!!!!!!

This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show, w Bobby Hatfield singing in front of his parents who were seated in the audience. Doesn't get any better than that performance.

Harri, I love it when you do a standing ovation and you only do it for the best! God bless you, sir!

"Godspeed your love, to me" No one writes lyrics like that anymore.

I give Bobby Hatfield a standing ovation too! One of the best songs I’ve ever heard.

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

Allegedly it has been recorded over 1500 times and this is considered the definitive version

9 out of 10 please ! Name one person today that could even come close to this .There is none !

I still get emotional listening to the song and I've literally heard this my whole life. Good job!👍

I had a teacher in high school who was also a musician. On the side, he and his wife led the school choir. He used to say that this song was one of the most difficult for someone to sing because of how much range it takes.

I've never heard a voice like Bobby Hatfield has this is his song for sure nobody can sing it like he does nobody such a great talent

What would this world be like if more woman were still sang songs of love like this, instead of what they hear today?

It’s called, “Blue Eyed Soul”.

I give him 10 out of 10 it was stupendous.

I love your reaction! Bobbie Hatfield was magnificent, gone way to soon…RIP

this live version gives me hot flashes every time

One of the greatest songs ever

A beautiful moment in the past. We are so blessed to have this film. This is Bobby's solo. They are a duo, not blood brothers, but brothers none the less. Also, this song is in the movie "GHOST." Now 51 years later, and still a very powerful love song.

I'm a caucasian woman (73.5) who grew up listening to The Righteous Brothers who were often called (as a compliment) "The Blue Eyed Soul Brothers". When I hear them I realize a new that the music then was more elegant & tasteful. It wasn't vulgar. There was no reason for it to be vulgar. Today music often is vulgar. It's unfortunate. I loved it when you stood up. I have honored people like that. When you spoke of its perfection I thought of Etta James singing "At last". Sorry if my name icon comes up 2x-some sort of computer glitch.

Kinda makes you wanna to leave this mess and go back home, wherever that is. A true masterpiece.

This song was a solo by the late great Bobby Hatfield. Covered by many but no one can touch this. Bill Medley will be in other songs. Try Soul and Inspiration, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. Thx PS: I give it a 10 lol

This is a 10 in my books. Bobby was awesome. It still gives me chills just like it did in 1965 when it came out on the charts. I was in high school at the time. You need to listen to their other hits!

A ten out of ten! Bobby Hatfield is personification of Blue Eyed Soul along with Bill Medley...not related brothers....just Righteous

No one has sung this song better then the late great Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers.' I have never seen an orchestra and a singer so in tune with one another then what is being performed here. The 'Andy Williams Orchestra' and the arrangement of this beautiful ballad is to die for. The strings are really kicking it in this the best version I have ever heard. Then you add the great vocals of Bobby Hatfield and together they created a masterpiece that will live on for generations to come. This performance alone has solidified Bobby Hatfield as one of music's, and rock & roll's greatest tenors. The rest as they say is history...

You can feel Bobby's voice in your soul. RIP Bobby.

The greatest "B" side single of all-time! Yes, many great vocalists covered this song...only great vocalists can sing this!

Definitely deserve standing ovation..

This is one of the most iconic performances in music history. This performance still mesmerizes and melts women of all ages on KZfaq even today- it's still gong strong even after 57 years! You can name very few songs that still do this. In this song Bobby hits over 20 different notes.

Being able to see and listen to The Righteous Brothers' beautiful amazing voices over and over is one of the best things about the internet@ thank you for this reaction.

So great because it was LIVE. That is the amazing thing to me.

I gave his performance 11 out of 10 👍😳😆

I'm extremely happy for you that you've found this. Been listening for 55 yrs, welcome aboard.

On top of my bucket-list. Genius performance. Love it

Bobby's mother was sitting in the audience, watching her son perform for the first time. That little smile at the end that Bobby gave was for his (undoubtedly PROUD) mother.

A 9 out of 10? Are you kidding me? More like a 10 out of a million or more! ✌❤

This is called blue eyed soul. No autotune just pure talent. How do you give a standing ovation then only a 9 out of 10. I don't understand. Does he have to stand on his head and sing it out his butt to get a 10 out of 10. This song was in the movie ghost. Fun fact I was told I was conceived to this song As were many other babies. You've lost that loving feeling has both brothers in it and it's played in the movie top gun

**MEN WATCHING THIS, PAY ATTENTION** 🥰 🥰 🥰 Loved your reaction!!!

10 out of 10. And it was LIVE!!

As a musician I truly appreciate your love for good music.

I heard they got their name because before they reached big time they sang in places close to El Toro Marine Base in Southern Ca and the black marines told them their singing was "righteous" and they took that as their professional name. But that song was 10/10 and always will be one for the ages!

Harry..how magnanimous of you to stand and clap for royalty..great review

I listened to it everyday . 10. Times. A day what a voice n a.love. Song

"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (January 1955),[1] hence the song title. The best-known version of "Unchained Melody" was recorded by the duo The Righteous Brothers for Philles Records in 1965. The lead vocal was performed solo by Bobby Hatfield, who later recorded other versions of the song credited solely to him. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when featured in the film Ghost in 1990.

Two things... this song was written for a prison movie- imagine a Prisoner singing this to his love on the outside.... Another thing, this was his first time on TV, and his mother was in the audience. That last smile, when he knew he had Hiten the note says a lot.

Considered, among those who would know, to be the best live performance of a song, ever.

We all ways listen to the righteous Brothers back in the day … glad u enjoyed the song. 🙌🙌😎

They weren't a group, they are a duo. During their first few years together they could not think of a good name for their act, till one night, during one of their shows, a member of the audience stood up and shouted "That was righteous, brother!" Complimenting them on their soulful music. So no, it's not "Goodie-goodie" as you put it, it was actually very clever. You know nothing about them, so don't judge. These guys were amazing and down to earth people. Bobby Hatfield, who is the one singing this song, was often very nervous on stage, but he was also a very modest and very funny guy. No one could sing like him, and no one has ever been able to sing this song like him, not even Elvis.

I love how you gave him a standing ovation. Righteous Bros weren’t really brother but there is another guy.

You know, I’ve never actually heard that version with the crazy high notes at the end. The recorded version doesn’t have those. Wow!

Thank you young man for playing such a very beautiful song. You really know your music. God bless you sir and once again, I thank you very much. Adios.

Bobby Hatfield's singing is immaculate but, even more so, it is totally effortless. His expression hardly changes for the entire song. Perfection!

Oh so wonderful reaction is priceless thank you

BLUE EYED SOUL...COME TOGETHER
