No. He was a tenor. Most men can affect a falsetto however he was able to maintain a strong tone in that upper register. Counter tenor were typically castrati

@@yvonnesanders4308 Yes, but he's a rare counter tenor without being castrated.

Damn straight! Bobby Hatfield was a legend!

Absolutely amazing talent

Their talent is beyond the capabilities of any God.

""god"-given talent" diminishes their hard work and makes it seem like "they were just born that way", they weren't, they practice for hours and hours and hours and hours.

@Huawei is a criminal organization. Also, everyone easily gets their own personal mix, which you really cannot do like that with stage monitors.

He is a legend... Hooked early on the Righteous Bros. Then saw the Righteous Bros @ Chicago Civic Opera House July of 67 - sold out...Blossoms singing backup...heady times. time had been real good to his looks and voice until it hasn't.

This is an amazing song, amazing singers. But this isn’t live. It’s playback.

@@ShpaolinMusic This was a live performance for television, but this particular video overdubs the original studio audio onto the song. There is video of this performance available on KZfaq of the undubbed audio, but audio on TV performances in those days was usually pretty bad because TV audio boards (especially for live shows) were sketchy at best. That's why many artists did indeed lip-synch their songs on TV, although that wasn't the case here. The audio without the overdubbed studio recording is very low-fi...but it is DEFINITELY a live performance because they do some vocal riffs that were not in the studio version.

Yes real talent, no one sings like that anymore .

Amen

Then why the fade-out?

YES, BUT I WISH THERE WEREN'T SO MANY INTERRUPTIONS!

LarryWT I think the greatest “recorded” song would be “call me the breeze” from Lenard skynard. As fas recorded goes,... but the entire band is what makes it.

@@calicodnikonian2774 people who react have to pause the video periodically to avoid a copyright strike.

@@masterwoods6586 Lynyrd Skynyrd* The 'greatest recorded' song is purely subjective. There will be thousands of different opinions on this. Yours is just one.

The other week she discovered measles. Her reaction was spot on.

Sigh. No.

You are old! And its all good

@@edithledy3663 could you tell by the picture? I even talked to Bobby Hatfield

So jealous.

I bet your grandson is typing this for you...

@@jraulc Ha Ha .. almost ! have trouble with cell phones have to use a computer key board and lots of light (bad fingers and eyes)

Hell, I can’t resist it, and I don’t even like dudes.

robichj yep, that’s the thing about young black people. They are and have always been just as awesome as all of us.

Ah jeez come on stop it.

I thought she was white it’s not a black girl reacting it’s a white girl

Angel Michelli She doesn’t look white. I would guess mixed race but it doesn’t matter. She loves good music.

Good music has no boundaries. Lot's of singers and song writers were from all ethnic backgrounds. Lots of their music is still around because of what it was,, not who sang or wrote it

No kidding...her response looked...um....moist.

🤣

Yep, my father's boy's only nickname for the Righteous Brother's is.....Panty drop song's!

Bruce, I'm a 71 year old Australian Male, and I also fell in love with this music, I just merely grew up surrounded by it, the best of musical times. All your comments about the young lady , mirror mine, she is more than just someone doing what she is currently doing, which I HUGELY appreciate and applaud, no jive, she is one fantastically great, wonderful and very engaging person. But, I think I have stumbled on one aspect of what she is doing that apparently no-one else has, I'm not trying to garner recognition or points, merely to raise awareness . I thoroughly and clearly believe that this young Lady's passion for music has, without her knowing so, could count her as a 'Musical Historian'. She's very, very good. I'll leave it at that.

Same here. I'm 68 too. Young people like her don't know what they missed.

Those eyes!!!! They were both very handsome men and incredibly talented.

Nah, "baby baby I get down on my kees for you" is when most female reactors lose it.

El Bruce ironic, because he is not talking about going down on her, he’s genuflecting to beg her to return. It’’s typical that everything immediately thinks it’s sexual, such is the state of music today.

cbrend22 honestly, as a female I never took the “I’d get on my knees for you” as a sexual line. Idk I immediately thought of it in a romantic way, that’s so so sweet.

Ohhhh and the words😭😍👋👋👋👋

@@MM-ly7cm same

ditto for 68, brother

Welcome home thank you

God bless you sir

@@babtist58 He has....... May He do the same for you.

I am sorry for your memories 😔

You said it. We used to watch them often on an ABC show for rock fans called "Shindig", mid to late 60's I think. Loved that show!! The Righteous Brothers will always be great.

@trey blum I wish the reaction of those first group of Marines could have been recorded!!!

@James Stackhouse .lol...wow... I am seriously embarrassed and ashamed for you and your hate and whatever misinformation you think you believe. The boomers were not in control of the world in the sixties.. the "greatest generation" was in control. The boomers were too young and busy navigating the many new problems of that time, problems that would have made your self deserving head explode and a world full of hateful attitudes such as yours were at the forefront. Every generation feels like its been handed a bad deal....EVERY GENERATION! So pease don't try in your disgusting, feeble attempt, to lecture the boomers or anyone else simply because you might be feeling "impotent" against the same cruel world that has always surrounded us all and forever will. I'm hoping you find peace with yourself because it will be a shame if you haven't when time to take "your" forever nap...as it comes to us all. You are clueless, so please stop, zip it and let the rest of the world live without your meaningless noise. 😂LOL🤣!

And surely rekindled a lot of "lovin' feelings"

@James Stackhouse Bro, GROW UP!!!

Ben Sheetz I definitely don’t hear Tom Cruises cringy version 🙂

@@kevinkarcher7508 That was painful, to say the least. :-)

ha ha...tru dat....twas the summer of '86....greatest in my life, my lil girl was born, n the movie "Top Gun" was in theaters...this was the hit song (Many many)...peace

Air Fore Officer here: Been doin' the "Maverick & Goose - Top Gun - thing" with a good comrade of mine like 30 years ago in a joint in El Paso/TX ... it's been a little cringy ... but it worked it's magic ... :)

🤣🤣🤙🤟🤟 yuuup!!! Back me up Goose

LoL! Yeah... they're awesome but there is tons of electronic manipulation going on here between the echo chambers, the overdubs and the mixing and sound engineering. Not a live recording.

Facts.. great era in music..

Then later on, Phil Collins really voiced male heartbreak from divorce going on through the 1980’s

Powerful stuff

No faking it before computers.

You want raspy, check out The Rolling Stones tune "Sympathy for the Devil".

Tim Hallas "That moment when you realize that your Grandparents were cooler than you." PRICELESS! And mostly true!

I already knew my parents and Grandparents were cool, I grew up listening to this music in our house.

Jajaja...siii🤣🤣🤣

@Kyle Snyder yes but at least they didnt call them bitches and whores noble man and woman and man are just geting more degraded.

The young clowns commenting above just have alot to learn yet. Time to grow up and be a Man!!! w.w.

And back then it was men who bought the records, nowadays woman dominate the sales, and look at the music they prefer!!!

@Point Dexter Thats not true!

Pancho ... beautifully stated .

Miranda my thoughts exactly after watching this.

Great fact!

Yes that’s a fact !

She’s mixed

BS.

True.

That era, that world is gone, it's gone.

@@forkinpig it's true, they didn't have any engineering equipment really so they had to train their voices incredibly. Now there's a lot of crutches and even beautiful singers still use them to enhance the vocal. Like Arianna grande, she can sing better than like 99% of the planet but still has like 13 vocal tracks 😂🤷‍♂️

Analog music has far more depth and texture to it, yes, digital music is cleaner but it cleans out the soul of the music.

Great memories also. We would dance and sing along. The best parties.

@Darryl Darichuk , AMEN to THAT!

@Darryl Darichuk You don't like white artists? The righteos brothers were white. You are one of those sad racists.

I'm 56. I couldn't agree more. We had no idea that we were living in the peak of musical talent and song writing. Today is just cookie cutter stuff. Nothing unique, nothing out of the box.

@Darryl Darichuk I don't know if music back then was ' a thousand times better'. I think artists had to be more talented because they didn't have technology to help them.

But this wasn't live, they are lip syncing. I'm 51, so don't jump on me for being a young'un. This sounds dead on the studio track for a reason.

Old Geezer .......couldn’t have said it better

and forget what shit their men were doin in vietnam.

Soul and Inspiration is my favorite song of theirs. The lyrics are just so good and heartfelt. Honestly, you can't go wrong with ANY Righteous Brothers song.

Unchained Melody is not by 'them'. Bobby Hatfield sang that one alone.

Not outdone but Hall and Oates did a pretty good cover of this song

Agreed, though I personally prefer the studio recordings.

My boyfriend is 53, I’m 35 and when I told him I “found” this song on KZfaq he started laughing at me because he’d obviously heard it before. I gushed about it for a week straight and how my favorite part was when he sings “baby baby I’ll get down in my knees for you..” Then one day he randomly put it on and we danced in our pjs while he was singing it. He’s definitely NOT a singer and I’m usually not a “girly girl” but that was and is one of the best moments of my life. You’re absolutely right, people always want to know they’re loved and wanted and those “little moments” mean the world.

Top gun put it back in our hearts when we almost forgot.

I'm a little afraid to ask what knocked it down in 2019.

@@garrett6064 Looked it up. It was Every Breath You Take by The Police which still holds the title.

@@oingoboink sorry man! In American English "I'm afraid to ask" doesnt really mean that I'm afraid to ask, really more like "I'm worried I won't like the answer", and even that is more in jest than our true feeling. (Jest (a): a non-serious mood or manner. But I appreciate you taking the time to look it up, if you had. To be honest The Police are great, I was worried it would be something else.

Actually, it's better than that. This song was THE most played song on radio in the entire 20th century.

And in spite of Cher being there, it's still a great song!

@@Mike-gt1cs Haaaaaaaaaaha haa

Definitely a good one

she would lose her shit. awesome choice

Yes you must here the song, Unchained Melody!

Ted Frey It's possibly the finest individual live performance of all time, by ANY artist. Vocally immaculate. ✌️
