Best blues song EVAH! There's 1000s of versions of the blues. That's the beat you recognize. The washing clothes thing, no, women were expected to wash the clothes. Basically, be the domestic servant to their man. This genius is saying he doesn't want her to do a damn thing. He will do it FOR HER. That was HUGE back in the day. Imagine how many ladies threw themselves at these 2 fine ass, blue eyed, musically gifted KINGS! OK? Ok.

How sexy was this song.? Bills voice is so deep and husky and sexy and the instruments are on point and the words are not even of this world. Wow...Wow...Wow...

They were only about 25 when they recorded this. Such mature voices.

Great reaction!! For more Righteous Brothers, I suggest live versions of "Summertime" (Bobby solo), "What'd I Say" with Andy Williams, their cover of "Bring It on Home to Me," and "Just Once in My Life." Bill and Bobby were...something else. Whew. :)

It's Bill Medley, Bobby Hatfield does background vocals on this song. I tell you that Bobby could get down and funky too! Try Oo-poo-pah-doo it's a song were Bobby let's loose!

This is the Righteous Brothers' cover of a song Muddy Waters released in 1954. I believe Etta James released a version in the early 60s. I had the same reaction the first time I heard this song. Like, what? All he wants to do is wash my clothes, cook my bread and make love to me? Hmm... OK! 😊

IT'S A CLASSIC BLUES BEAT.

Sweetie, I'm 69 years old and I never knew any man that wanted to do laundry if a woman could do it for him. However, this song, I'm sure didn't get any airplay. They were very strict about that for most of the 1960s. But even though I'm 69, my heart goes pitter pat when I listen to this song...it's so sexy and raw!

Late to the party, but wanted to say a couple things. (Besides loving your reaction & also saying hello to a fellow Towson student): First, my stepdad was one of these men. I was a child and teenager in the 1960s, so my memories go back a ways, but my stepdad did the laundry and most of the family cooking. Also took me and brother out in a rowboat on summer Sunday mornings fishing & crabbing near the Chesapeake. Once there were such men. Second, to those fellas considering stable relationships today, nothing seals the deal and captures a girl's loyalty like making her life easier. You want a joyful partner in bed, then make her life easier everywhere else. When you treat her like a queen, like you are PRIVILEGED for her to ALLOW you into her life, you will have all you need in life. So pick up a broom, get busy in the kitchen, volunteer for laundry duty, ask what she wants from you. This is the secret to a happy life.

Beautiful song 🎵

I'm late to arriving to this one so I apologise. I love your reaction, though! There's so much to say! There are still some men who have no problem doing things for their partner. I'm one of them. My wife has a hard day at work and I've been home, I'm filling her a bath to relax in, a glass of wine and her favourite book to read while she comes down. Meanwhile, I'm making dinner so she has no worries. That's what love is supposed to be about. The song, oh yeah, the song! That progression you first heard and recognised is common in Blues, though it never gets tired. It's performing songs like this one that earned the Righteous Brothers their name, given by black Marines who had to tell them they and their music was "righteous, brothers!". Their sound was referred to as Blue Eyed Soul because few white singers can get this amount of soul in our voices. We're all equals but their are subtle differences and the tone of our voices is one of them. The Righteous Brothers were one of many acts who proved that music knows no colour. The song was written by the great Willie Dixon, who wrote hundreds of fantastic songs for a multitude of artists, mainly for those who recorded for the Chess Records label. The original was done by Muddy Waters, a legend in what became known as Chicago Blues. Dozens of other versions have been recorded, including Etta James (check out I'd Rather Go Blind or At Last - man, that lady could wring every emotion out of her voice!) and even The Rolling Stones. Until The Beatles broke open the doors and the British Invasion began, the Blues and even R&B were almost strictly considered to be black music. UK groups like The Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Kinks, The Who and many more pushed Blues into the front of the spotlight and brought so many of the great old Blues performers the fame they rightfully deserved. It also paved the way for acts like The Righteous Brothers to find success with songs like this as the Blues was now seen as the building block of Rock 'n' Roll that it always was. Great music is great music, no matter who makes it. ♥ I look forward to seeing more from you!

Love your reaction. Great song.

Terrific reaction. Glad you enjoyed it!

Bill Medley sings this but Bobby comes in for a bit of harmony...

You my Dear are so cute and your reactions are a complete joy and make me smile and I have binged your videos for hours now love you keep listening and videotaping your reactions xoxox lisa

Beautiful reaction

One of the best reactions I’ve seen to this Song. Keep it up 👍 I’ve subscribed!

Bill Medley is tall guy, Bobby Hatfield is the blond..BLUE EYED SOUL.

That's Glen Campbell on guitar. He was a prodigy. Bill was singing this and Bobby comes in later.

First one baby - just found your channel :)

Honey I am 70 and I have always helped my wife around the house. We share everything including chores. I actually do most the cooking.

There is but we get over looked young lady

Famous blues riff by Willie Dixon. Muddy Waters made it famous. Believe it or not the Rolling Stones do this too very well. But actually, this is my favorite!

Dream On is another good video by the righteous Brothers.

This was Blue-Eyed Funk!

Lot's of artists have done this song. BB King, Etta James, Muddy Waters... Hell, I think that even the Blues Brothers did it. It never got any airtime on the radio. It was just too hot.

Back in the day your wife was behind in chores we stepped in and helped her out to keep her from stressing out.

THATS A WAY DOWN SOUTH, GUT BUSTIN BLUES RIFF.

Ha...ha....ha!!

Try live soul and inspiration and live what'd i say with andy williams by them

Bill Medley lyrics and think Bobby Hatfield is playing guitar on this one

The guitar is Glen Campbell.

I've heard Glen Campbell played the guitar on this. Can't find the info.

That's a standard blues beat. Have you reacted to "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood? If not, you should! One of my all time favorite songs. Other places where you might have heard this song, or this particular beat, include your mother or grandmother. The song was written by Willie Dixon around 1954 and first recorded by Muddy Waters. I also like Etta James' version. A group called Foghat did an uptempo version that was very popular, too.

HI VALENCIA, THE LYRICS WERE SO APPROPRIATE AND THE MESSAGE NEEDED TO BE GIVEN OUT TO MALES WHO WERE NOT RERAL MEN, BUT MERELY BOYS. AS A GENUINE "BORN AGAIN" CHRISTIAN MAN, ALL THAT WAS STATED IS COMMON PRACTICE FOR ME AS THE UNDERLYING POINT BEING "HOW WOULD JESUS TREAT A WOMAN". YOU KNOW VALENCIA IN MATTHEW 7:12, JESUS SAID "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU". THEREFORE, HOW MUCH MORE FOR A MAN TO PRACTICALLY SHOW HIS LOVE FOR HIS WOMAN !!! TOO MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE SELF CENTRED. THEY LACK EMPATHY. TAKE CARE FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA

Did anyone else hear someone say "sing that song" during the "all I wanna do all I wanna do all I wanna do" part?

Panty dropping music.

NOW I NOT WASH CHOTHES BUT, BEING A CHEF I'VE BEEN FEEDING MY WIFE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

Washing you your clothes is him getting you out of your clothes, lol. Him making sure you are well fed is him wanting you to keep that figure...you have to read between the lines.

That's Glen Campbell on guitar.

You got a kick out of washing clothes... but it is even more of a statement given the time it was sung since washing clothes back then was a more involved process than today where you simply put them in a washer and then into a dryer. ;)

Lol... I don't think cook your bread means what you think it does..

This was done in 1964

That’s just a standard blues riff. You’ll hear it in a lot of songs if you pay close attention.

Still would, white men love there woman.

BABY I'M A CHEF AND THE KITCHEN IN OUR HOME IS MINE. I HVE AN 18 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND WHEN SHE WOULD TELL FOLKS HER FAV FOOD WAS DUCK BREAST AND ROASTED GARLIC. MY SON LOVES MY FRIED CHCEKEN AND HOURSERADISH/SHARP CHEDDER MASHED POTOES. THE POTOTOES ARE SEASONED HEAVY CREAM, OLIVEOIL AND SOUR CREAM. MADE SOME CHPOOED PASLEY AND CHIVES FOR COLOR AND TASTE.
