The Righteous Brothers had a big hit with "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Home Free did such a beautiful rendition of this classic song. The video in prison is very fitting as this song was originally written for the 1955 prison film "Unchained". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or finishing his sentence and returning to his wife & family. The song focuses on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time".

Love Tim leading in his bass and handing it off to Austin to finish the song. An amazing arrangement, production, filming with the shadows etc. Home Free just had a home run.

The song is absolutely fantastic, a truly brilliant performance! The covers of Tim and Austin are already great individually, but together - WOW - phenomenal! These guys not only make you hear the song, they make you feel it. Love these guys!

The smile never left your face ... I've been smiling all day ! These guys are just unbeatable ... they don't get the recognition they deserve . Now back to my chair dancing !!

Have to give props to Chance for carrying that bass-line, especially while Tim had lead..

Not gonna lie, it hurt my heart a little when I saw them "in jail", but they went to the original format of the song. It was from a movie about a guy in jail. This is now my favorite version of this song. I think it's gorgeous!

Yes, this is a good one. I loved Tim’s and Austin’s solos too. Loved those harmonies. Loved the black and white film. This was written for a movie Unchained so hence the prison. I liked the words above the typewriter too. Good reaction Lauren. 😀

Tim Foust, Austin and friends sang My Maria. I think Tim might surprise you.

When I saw Austin cover this solo, I commented then that Home Free needed to cover this as a group. I knew it would be good, but I wasn't prepared for how good it would sound. This was great.

So..a little back story; this song came out in 1955. It was first sung in the 1955 movie "unchained" hence the name unchained melody. Unchained was a black and white film about men in prison. I love Home Free's homage to that first song. Unchained melody wasso popular that it was sung by so many different artists during the next few years that there was a version of it released almost every month. Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers wanted to release it on the flip side of one of their singles. It was so popular that nobody remembers the song that was supposed to be released! Bobby really made it popular when he sang it on the Ed Sullivan show in 1965. The other brother, Bill Medley, is credited with producing the version sung by Bobby Hatfield. It continues to be an enduring hit.

Love this song, love this new version. You should check out Austin's recent release of Bring Him Home, if you haven't already. Thanks for the reaction, Lauren.

That arrangement is PERFECTION ! I love the doo-wop style is perfect to as the original is from a 1955 movie called "Unchqained" about a frustrated love between a couple with the boy in jail/ The B&W film noir style and the 50's style arrangement are Home Free paying homage to the original and not to the Righteous Brother mega hit from 1965. Home Free did it's homework and one of the big reasons we love them.

You should now go and listen to Austin's solo version - You will be astounded - truly.....

Originally made for the prison movie Unchained in 1954 or 55.

Got the smile (of enjoyment) early and kept it there! Nice!

You might try "My Maria" in which Tim and Austin collaborate.

Thank you for your reaction! My new favorite version of this song! It's phenomenal! Home Free is my absolute favorite group ever! May I please request your reaction to - " WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN" HOME FREE COVER OF PERCY SLEDGE. " WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW/STAY" TIM FOUST. You will be pleasantly surprised! " BRING HIM HOME" AUSTIN BROWN COVER from LES MISERABLE'S. Because of your expertise I think you will enjoy it greatly! Thank you very much!

If you want to hear a more traditional take on this song, check out the solo version that Austin released about a year ago. It is amazing!

The song is from the prison movie "Unchained" made in the mid 50's. One of the prisoners sang this, but no one could do it like Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, who released it in 1965. Also, Tim Foust has released a Doo Wop album, I think it's called "Pieces of Me", where he shows off his high falsetto.

I loved the reaction. You really should check out Austin's solo cover of Unchained Melody on his KZfaq channel

Locked up for cover upgrades...lol. So good

Great reaction may I suggest a reaction to Tim Foust singing doo-wop off his new album pieces of me so far he has released two videos from his album.

Oh Lauren! How can I give this more likes? I loved your reaction and insights on the music. Please do more Home Free. 😀

So so good. If you have not reacted to When a man loves a woman from Home Free you are missing out.

Love this version. The boys did go back to the original in 1955. Love the Doo Wop feel. Loved Tim and Austin’s solos. Loved the black and white film and the typewriter. Good reaction Lauren.😀

Great reaction Lauren. Loved your enthusiasm and your knowledge of this style of music. Yup another great song cover from them and it totally fits with their obvious love of this style of "Doo Wop" music from the fifties. Might be nice if you were to check out their song "Blue Ain't Your Colour" which showcases both Rob and Chance as well as some great Motown/Temptations style choreography and styling. It's a cover of a Keith Urban song that has a bit of a retro vibe to it, but they took it the whole way.

Great reaction and singing! They also sang with Don McLean on his 50th anniversary doing American Pie, this is worth a listen. Peace from Michigan 🌲

This is a great pairing...TIM and later AUSTIN picking it up! WOW TIM I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THIS! AUSTIN, your part was of course so perfect!!! I LOVED THIS, GUYS! I MEAN, I REALLY LOVED THIS!!! SHEER PERFECTION! Thank you for your coverage and reaction of HOME FREE! HOME FRIES truelly appreciate it! Thanks again.

Such powerful visuals and a remarkable version of the song ❤️ I know it hearkens back to the mid-century movie and they portray it spectacularly, but I do hate seeing our guys behind bars. 😕 However, they can definitely "emote" through their music/videos better than just about anyone else out there!! ❤️🎼🥰🎶❤️

Luv the doo whap. These guys are great, & ❤️Austin’s talent!

Bautiful, just beautiful. Love from Portugal

Beautifully arranged by Tim!!!!!!!

Tim did the arrangement on this one. Thanks for your reaction 👍‼️

The song goes with the prison movie "Unchanged." Home Free took it back to it's roots with the prison setting.

i love your reactions. she is vibeing so hard to this song.

Good job Lauren you recognized the typewriter !!! Possible an Underwood or a Royal .

Great review Lauren! If you get the chance, please review Tim Foust's medley "Will You Still Love Me/Stay" and tell us how it's even possible! 😮🥰

This song is 🔥, thank you for this review and reaction... You reactions are very Informative 😀

Have you reacted to Austin Brown's solo version yet? It's incredible!

My all-time favorite song + My all-time favorite band = HEAVEN The guys are in jail because they killed this song!!

Lauren I don't know if you know that Austin has this song on his KZfaq channel. Truly enjoyed watching your reaction to this song.

Chance's mellow bass support is luscious, but the bells harmony style is lovely. Interesting that Austin didn't quite challenging Bobby Hatfield's top note at close.

Thank you for another interesting Home Free reaction. Austin has a great cover of this song on his YT channel but the one you really want to listen to is his cover of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables. You will be giving yourself a real treat! And you can thank me later. Cheers!

They've killed so many songs that it was just a matter of time until they were behind bars. 🙂

Hello. Just some info. for you. this song was written as a musical score by 2 men ? sorry forgot names. It was for a 1950's movie in which the main character was in jail. Hence the black and white feel; and the jail scene. thanks.

Don't let Tim fool you he as a 5 octive range his high end is very good too.

For anyone that's wondering, the song is NOT from the Righteous Brothers, a '55 prison movie, written by a man named North.

🥰🔥🥰

Based on 1950s movie Unchained about a guy in prison. Black and white Doowop

They are in jail since the song was originally written in 1955 for a prison film named Unchained. That is also why it's in black and white. We didn't have color tv in the 50's. The song is 67 years old and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century. Home Free as always honors the original while making it their own.

Looks like you have not reacted to voice play I rec hoist the colors cover from pirates of carabian and the bass is amazing come try them I subscribed and stuff too

You watched the wrong one, amazing.

No makeup. Nice.

I prefer Austin's solo version.

Not nearly as good as the original. Sorry to say but I think Home Free has beaten everyone up till now but this is where the streak ends.

You talk way too much

Do oppy???? Ruins your credibility
