Lou Rawls was asked if he knew any white people with soul. He replied: “The Righteous Brothers”.

This era of music is irreplaceable. No pitch correction, no auto tune, just amazing singers with soul and passion that could sing just as well live as during their recordings. Epic.

Jamel is a kid in a candy store. No wonder we love him.

Heard a surgeon say "after you cut through the first 2 millimeters, we're all pink." Lol!

I'm 66 years old... welcome to my world...There is a lot lot lot more out there for you to discover....enjoy.

"I had no clue these men were white!" - high praise! Soul has no color race or creed. Music unites us all!

After all these years, I still get chills when I hear this song ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Couple Fun Facts: They got their name from some black marines who saw them perform as the “Paramours” in 1963. They shouted, “that was righteous brothers!”, Sonny and Cher were part of the backing vocals, & last but not least, heir manager booked them into a black nightclub in Watts, California before they got big, & the patrons of the club started throwing things at them on stage when they saw they were white, & The Righteous Brothers didn't know what to do, so they just started singing, & all the patrons sat down with their mouths open, & wouldn't let them leave after that, & the term, Blue Eyed Soul, was introduced 😃 👓 👓 😃

Jamal, I am a 78 year old woman who lives in Canada. I had the privilege of seeing the Righteous Brothers at a nightclub in Vancouver, B.C. In 1963. Sat in the front row. Went backstage and got their autographs. You cannot believe the power those 2 young men had and the feeling in the room. Magical! God bless you for saying soul has no colour, it doesn’t. When I hear them sing, I think of my late husband of 49 years. We had some good times listening and dancing to great music. I enjoy your reactions. Please keep it going💞🤪

Bill Medley and the late Bobby Hatfield. Incredible voices.

Oh, man, when he sings, "And, girl, you're starting to criticize little things I do," it shatters my heart. Because we've all been there, and we know that's the beginning of the end.

This song came out 65 years ago and it's still one of the best songs ever and two of the greatest songs ever!!

"Soul has no Color" AGREE 100%. No Music has color. BE YOURSELF!!

They actually got their name after a black marine shouted to them after seeing their show: "That was righteous, brothers!"

That’s why they called it blue eyed soul. Soul is about the heart. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Never be any like them again.

I never cared what color the singer was/is - if that voice gives me chills - it's PHENOMENAL 💕

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was the most played song of the 20th century.

The duo got its name from black audience members who, after hearing them sing, said, "That's righteous, brothers."

Blue eyed soul. Soul has really no color.

"Soul has no color" ... now that's the t-shirt I want!

Greatest song ever! Greatest duo ever! Thank you Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the greatest husband/wife songwriting team on the planet!

This is a story of the weirdest racism in Rock n Roll history Inn 1962 they had a hit with a song called Latin Lupe Lu which was from an album they had recently released In those days the single was released prior to the album The song was a big hit but when the album came out everybody was shocked to see 2 white guys They stopped playing The Righteous Brothers Except for Black DJ's who stayed loyal I can still remember hearing the Black DJ'S saying Now for some Blue Eyed Soul when they played their records The Righteous Brothers fell off the charts until a young Phil Spector saw them on a TV show called Shin Dig He recorded this song which is by the way the most played record in the 20th century and the Brothers were once again back in the scene They never forgot the support they received from Black People

the shorter Righteous Brother with the high voice is/was my cousin Bobby Hatfield.he passed away a week before i was to go see him.

"Soul has no color. Don't matter where you come from, where you been, where you going. If you can sang, you can sang. Alright, period." ~ Beautiful words

“No twerking zone”. All class.

The true story is they were booked into a San Jose nightclub that was mostly black and the management was surprised when they arrived. They talked him into letting them perform and within a few minutes the crowd was calling out RIGHTEOUS, BROTHERS....

I just recently learned the main singer is Bill Medley, the same guy that sang on the 80's song The Time of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing

Phil Spector's production really gives it that classic 60's sound of meshing all kinds of backing singers & instruments that really compliments the two singers here.

When I was a teenager I'd hear this on my parents oldies station. I thought this was Motown until I was at least 30. This was recorded in the mid 60's. Recording something like this with an orchestra and everything for a pop song is so much work. I'm not that guy that says there's no good music these days, but the effort that went into producing something like this isn't seen too often these days.

These guys, and the Temptations still give me chills with how they sing, and I listen to mostly metal.

In their day they epitomized Blue Eyed Soul. Love that you dig them.

Fact to note Cher was a young back up singer in the chorus for this performance. These guys were so dapper and their hallmark is total perfection for these recordings.

The genre was called "blue-eyed soul" back in the day. And the righteous brothers were great no matter what label one slaps on them.

Phil Spector helped break the colour barrier like legit. He made black singers no. 1 and then did this...

Blue eyed SOUL at its best. Try Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man".

The Brothers looked like FBI agents but put out here what was most likely the most powerful and soulful live performance ever... anywhere!

The mournful lamentation in the beginning leading up to the end of the song when the man breaks down losing all composure "Im begging you, please!" You can feel that deep in the heart.

Nobody has a jaw like that anymore. That's a 50's jaw line

I'm loving these throwback vids. They are before my time but that is a period of real pure music.

I was dancing in my chair, man. ...it might be the wine, though.

I will be 70 in June. Welcome to my world of music! My kids were brought up on this because we only listened to the oldies! To this day they will at times go back to these!

Such timeless classics from the righteous brothers. I don’t get sick of listening these songs 😄👏👍

They used to play the “Rendevous Balllroom” Balboa Beach, Calif on weekends in 1960, I saw them regularly before anyone knew who they were.

Under the definition of "blue-eyed soul" it say's See The Righteous Bros.

Most played song of the 20th century, no kidding! These two broke the molds.

This all takes me back to 1960’s Motown day’s. Omg! It’s all we lived for!

The song that has the history of most airplay of any other song.

man this is such a great song. RIP Bobby Hatfield

The greatest soul is timeless. This still gives me chills, nearly 55 years after I first heard it. Bill Medley and the late, great Bobby Hatfield. God bless them both.

My first music memories are from the early 60s. (I’m old) Growing up, nobody gave a damn what race sang what. Charlie Pride, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, Beatles, Motown, disco, heavy metal, prog rock, storyteller rock, whatever. The only thing that mattered was the music.

One of the greatest song of all time and of the greatest recordings of all time. No one has come close to capturing the magic of this recording.

I love the Righteous Brothers. I first heard them when I was 5 years old. Been listening to them ever since

Each time I ear this song: TopGun 1986, ending credits roll in my head. Indeed, Soul music has no color!

More blue eyed soul from Hall and Oates. Reaction channels will do more to end racism than our fooken politicians. Subbed.

Every time I hear this song, all I can see are F-14's flying off into the sunset.......and roll credits. Great Reaction!

Man...This is one of my all time favorite, this and Elvis Suspicious Minds....Just great song writing!And performance!

One low and one high voice what a combination they were great

Produced by Phil Spector. He was a singer, song writer who made zillions of million selling records in the '60's and created what became known as the "wall of sound".

That's the best reaction to this song I've seen. So true brother. SOUL HAS NO COLOR.

All Smiles ... I Love When Music Brings people together 💯

They had both only just turned 24 years old when they recorded this December 1964! Truly amazing. Lovely reaction to it!

Thank you for having such an open mind about these great old songs!! You are so fun to watch!

Phil Spectot's "Wall of Sound" adds a lot to it's power.

Best harmonizing duo ever.

This is a message the world needs right now.

Two things they got their name when they were performing in a predominantly black club and some one shouted out " Man you guys are righteous!!!" And listen to Patti LaBelle duet with Micheal McDonald " On my Own".

What's remarkable as well is that it was just this year that the song was surpassed as the most-played song in radio history.

Blueeyed Soul, my man... Two of the bes, great arrangements and voices to bring them to life...

I'm glad that this song was in TOP GUN so other people would appreciate it

Man, you do such a good job with these. Plus, you may be the sweetest, sexiest man on KZfaq!

This song always takes me on a journey to my youth. It never gets old. Great choice.

Soul has no color,and music shouldn’t either ,good music is good regardless of who is making it.

Such a great song, and these two harmonized perfectly together. A moment in time...

Can't go wrong with old school music

That’s music kids!!!! Bring back that looooove and feeling

In my opinion...one of the best recordings ever to be put on vinyl...Haunting...a phil Spector masterpiece

Bill Medley's influences were Little Richard, B.B King, etc.

im 74 and was 18 when i entered service and i was in the px service center and they were playing on the jukebox and everyone i talked to thought for sure they were black. back then (1964) we didn't have social media and news didn't travel as fast, but learned later they were referred to as "blue eyed soul".💚 just wanted to say the one brother that is alive sang in Cincinnati a few weeks ago, still going strong.

Oh, man Jemal you're killing me! I almost got up to dance, but my old legs won't take dancing=) Thank you once again, my friend! I loved your reaction!

That is right! There is no color especially in the world of music but, we know where the soul of this music came from. What a contribution to the world!

Open minds, open hearts, open ears❣

This song is timeless and pure 💕 A masterpiece.

There is no place for hatred and racism in music only love and unity 💪🏻

My wife who passed away 14 years ago sang background vocals for Bill Medey when he was touring in Hawaii years ago. They got their name while they were playing at a marine base in California. They were standing outside the club and one of the black soldiers walking in said hey…there’s my righteous brothers. The song in your video was the number one most played song on tv and radio in the 20th century.

Soul, blues, church, hillbilly -- the mix together is what made Rock's arsenal great! Sang it and meant it~

in an interview i watched, they said that the late great RAY CHARLES, was their mentor. ray said that ALL music has its own soul. words from a wise man.

"Goose, I think she's lost that love and feeling"

Real musical talent touches your soul on a cellular level. Older musicians give a piece of themselves and you feel it. Thank you for keeping our music alive

Love your reaction. 66 yr old white chick, digging that you're appreciating ALL this old music, including the 80s.

Oh, goodness! I haven't heard that song in forever! I loved that song back then, and I still love it. Thank you SO much for a wonderful reaction, and soul DEFINITELY has no color! ;-) On the other hand...I love me some Ella Fitzgerald!!! I see "part two" over to my right...going there right now...

Dude you have got to do Bill Whithers. Grandma's Hands, Aint no Sunshine. LIVE

Man these guys were amazing... a live, flawless performance with an audience in 1 take.

Music knows no cultural boundaries. Just like people of different races, it's the content of your character that counts . Great song choice and great video sir.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons are another great group from the 60s and 70s that belted out hits.

If you saw the movie "dirty dancing" with Patrick Swayze..... dude that sang lead here was the same dude singing "Time of my life" in that movie in 1987.

n there i was, twas the summer of '86, a pair of F-4's did a flyby over downtown Ft Scott, saw my 1st airshow (ThunderBirds), my daughter was born in Aug of that year, n one of the greatest movies of all time was released "TopGun", best summer of my life, n this song played a major role in the movie...cant wait 4 "TopGun Mavrick" coming out this summer...peace

The world needs more songs like this. Just a man (or two) pouring their souls out for the woman they love.

Memories of my teenage years! REAL music! Thank you!

Dang I feel this deep down in my soul every time! Love them so much.

You sure have some moves on ya Jamel....I just love watching your channel.. Your reactions are so real and down to earth...I'm a 70 plus ole white woman but I know good people when I see em...dont you go away no where ok ?

My grandfather went to a super laid back diner with some friends in his early twenties. The singer with dark hair was there with his vocal couch and was practicing some notes. My grandpa got to be serenaded by one of the righteous brothers!
