You just found the greatest singer in the world
This was televised LIVE. No second chance, no computer manipulation, just a handsome young man with amazing talent and a microphone. RIP Bobby Hatfield.
I am 78 years old my favorite singers in my day they are wonderful singers and enjoyable to listen to thank you so much
Next up: YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN FEELING! This is Bobby Hatfield, and the other half is the baritone, Bill Medley. Pure dynamite!

Definitely " You've Lost That Loving Feeling " -- then you'll hear both of them together. Brothers from other mothers. I think everyone has heard bits of that song covered by many groups over many decades but WOW! I couldn't believe they had such a high quality of sound like that in the mid-sixties. Thank god someone preserved that music for everyone to discover!

Great review but NO JC !
He is super talented, yet so humble. He’s not showing off & no arrogance.
To date, more than 700 artists have covered this song.. but if Bobby ain't singing.. it ain't! Bobby had a 6 octave range up to counter-tenor. God given talent.
Hey Mr. Adogg! As a woman born in 1962, I grew up with this kind of music. My parents had records of 1960s thru 70's; these were the some of the biggest stars of my parents' early adulthood and thus was what was played at home thru my childhood. Andy Williams, Sinatra, Beatles...A wonderful time in music culture in America. Lyrics were as important as the music. That's why the Great Songs are still my favorites.
I am a white guy. I'm 67 years old. I grew up listening to Levi Stubbs & the Four Tops. I grew up loving Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I loved Motown . The music transcends everything. The Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley quite a few others actually did the same thing. Music is the bottom line. Is the common denominator.

Bobby said in an interview that he was VERY nervous before this performance, because his Mom was in the audience, and it was his first time singing in front of her. This was from way back in the day when there were no auto tuners to improve your voice, you actually had to be able to sing. There was also speculation that 9 months after this performance the birth rate in the U.S. really jumped. 😂🤣

This song was in a movie called Ghost. the song was done back in 1965. no auto tune or any mixing , it was live which makes it even more amazing. This voice is pure and incredible.
There is nothing like 60s music!! THE BEST! A man or woman and a microphone. Pure talent! I'm 74 years, it NEVER GET OLD!
Two righteous brothers. Bill Hadley and Bobby Hatfield. They both sing solo and together.
Live. No autotune. No in-ear monitors. No clicktrack. Just raw talent.
The best male vocal performance ever on TV
This is Bobby Hatfield. We used to call him "BLUE-EYED SOUL. He is in the rock and roll hall of fame. This performance was in 1965 on the Andy Williams show. Bobby was 25 yrs old at the time. The righteous bros had broken up when " UNCHAINED MELODY was recorded by Bobby. He was nervous during this performance because his parents were in the audience. Bobby was found dead in his hotel room some years later. We all miss him very much. This is the greatest love song ever written. It was the theme song for the movie "GHOST."

The Righteous Brothers had not broken up. If he had played the WHOLE video then there was an interview with both of them at the beginning. They performed together for 43 years before Bobby Hatfield died. They are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame together as the Righteous Brothers.
Bobby Hatfield owns this song And yes...he melted the delicates off of many a ladies. And a lot of hubbies and boyfriend's owe him serious gratitude for getting ladies "in the mood for love".... lol
I was smiling like a fool and wiping tears from my eyes just watching you enjoy this song. Yeah, I can imagine you will listen to it a couple more times. Get your lady to listen to it with you, but make sure the kids are asleep. LOL

I'm 74 and this was one of the most popular songs. Such an awesome time to live when love was so sweet.
That is Bobby Hatfield. He is a blue eyed killer of the voice. While both singers in the righteous brothers were great, he..... He was untouchable. That was a live performance, in the sixties, before they had auto tune, before they had live equalizers and live mixing. His voice might just be one of the greatest to ever have been recorded. Male or female. His range, vocal control, poise, and richness of tone are simply unmatched. He is one of the goats of pure vocals. Period. A melody like that is great. Bobby made it utterly timeless. Forever will it be a love song of the ages. Forever will it catch the heartstrings, and forever will it play them to crescendo.
This was known as Blue eyed soul back in the day. As a child of the sixties and teen of the seventies, I grew up with some of the most amazing music. Your initial reaction was priceless. I thought my screen froze for a minute there LOL. Great reactions, keep ‘em coming.

Btw... No enhancements of any kind. No autotune or anything. Just his amazing vocal range. Live.
In the 1960's this group got a well earned nickname 'blue eyed soul. Now you know why.
The most purest and perfect performance EVER! Nobody has topped that still in my opinion. That is Bobby Hatfield's solo performance. Together, he & Bill Medley make up the Righteous Brothers. Powerhouse duo! No auto tuning at all here. Pure talent that most likely will never be topped.
"We're only 39 seconds in and this sounds good as hell..." Perfectly stated. His voice is shockingly amazing.
Live performance with no autotune
AH Bobby Hatfield 4+ octaves, smooth as butter, no auto tune, Bill is the other half warm baritone, just as impressive...but together pure bliss...Great Reaction thanks...
Growing up on this kind of music was simply magical!
My son at 48 years old hardly ever made any response on his facial expression to almost anything I've ever showed him in the music industry. He's a biker type guy with tattoos and likes George Thorogood and the Delaware destroyers for starters, but when I played this song on my phone and she watched it he stood still and had an amazing smile on his face as he listened to the whole thing from beginning to end which he never did ever before! Then he said he's a black guy inside of a white guy LOL and said he never heard anybody sing that good that was white! And I personally love the reaction to that black DJ that posted this song because I'm right there with him. Even though I was born in 58 somehow I overlooked that song and I didn't realize the sincerity and The Majestic intelligence of that magnificent performance. I can listen to this over and over again and won't ever get tired of it. What an amazing performance! To me it was someone angelic manifest inside of him to bless him to sing so incredible😇💜
I’ve watched this performance a thousand times and I’m still just as much in love with it as I was from the beginning!

Music back then was soooo much better . Great reaction!!
The name the Righteous Brothers came from a group of friends of the Medley Hatfield. They were black. They heard Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley sing told themb... " that music is righteous brothers". Hence the name the Righteous Brothers. I so love the fact that you feel the music and how it just transcends the whole color barrier. God bless Music Man.
It's fun when a new artist has a video from the mid-60s. Great reaction! PS: Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield are the Righteous Brothers. This was Bobby Hatfield.
Finally the reaction this song deserves!!!
The Righteous Brothers have been around way before you were born! Oh my Love. My Darling… very popular and loved by many.
Awesome!!.. The one & only Bobby Hatfield.. I'm 70 now & always brings tears to my eyes. He was handsome & had a angels voice, hitting those high notes... 🙏🙂
Good music transcends everything. It’s soothing to the soul. Great reaction.
This was played in the movie “Ghost” during the pottery wheel scene. It’s a classic
This was done live on the Andy Williams Show on Valentines Day (hence the reason for the pink suit). Bobby Hatfield did this as a solo. They each did an occasional solo on their albums. This was done when he had a slight cold and he was nervous because his mom was in the audience. She had never seen him live on stage before. You may have heard this from the movie Ghost.
There’s a YT video that traces the performance history of Unchained Melody. It made its first appearance in a 1955 prison movie, ‘Unchained’. The theme song "Unchained Melody" was written by Alex North, music (15 Academy Award nominations for best song, including Unchained Melody) and Hy Zaret, lyrics, and performed by Todd Duncan. This song has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century: over 1,500 recordings have been made by more than 670 artists, including The Righteous Brothers, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, the Platters, Roy Orbison, Barry Manilow, Willie Nelson, Cindy Lauper, U2 etc. In 1955, three versions of the song charted simultaneously in the Top 10 in the United States. The song continues to chart in the 21st century. The song’s lyrics allude to the prisoner’s longing for freedom (hence the various senses of the word ‘time’ used in the lyrics: ‘(clock)time goes by so slowly, ‘time(served) can do so much’, also the prisoner’s fear (‘Will you still be mine?), his hope (‘I’ll be coming home’) and his plea to ‘Wait for me, wait for me’. Bobby Hatfield from The Righteous Brothers’ recorded it in 1965. It was the B side of a single 45rpm disc. That’s the version that appears in the 1990 movie Ghost (without the stratospheric interpolation at the end). What we hear on THIS video is the live 1965 performance by Bobby on the Andy Williams Show, in which he ends the song with an amazing ascent into soprano territory. Bobby’s upright posture, bold choice of clothes, diamond-studded ring on his pinky, his impeccable hair, suave demeanor etc exude amazing confidence and masculinity (despite a reported cold and a case of the nerves due to the presence of his parents in the audience). His flights into the stratosphere stun everyone, but it’s his low notes that make my tummy wobble ( ‘godspeed your love’ ): his perfect use of chest resonance makes them sound so soulful, so meaningful. Stunning and classy. Also, note how he creates a mix of pure vocalization (yodeling on the vowels) and conversational storytelling: his crisp consonants (b, d, g, t, m, etc) make the words perfectly clear. Bobby takes us on an amazing journey. One of the very best live performances of anything ever.
This music lifts our spirits And watching you listening to it is wonderful
This was sung live on a tv variety show by one member of the Righteous Brothers, Bobby Hatfield. Both members of the duo were there, but they had decided that only one of them would sing Unchained Melody, and ultimately Bobby was the one that ended up to be the one to sing it.
I used to know Bill Medley back in the day. He told me once that Bobby had been sick when this performance was recorded. You can tell his voice cracks a little and that he's swallowing over a sore throat, if you watch closely. One of the best live performances ever recorded!
your reaction is precious...love it
I gotta say this once, old school music was the best! Absolute raw talent
Loved them Back in the day!!! That music never dies!! Thank you so much
I was born on the same day this song came out in December 12th 1965.
I just love your reaction. You are right on, this is pure talent. I would LOVE to watch your reaction to The Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Loving Feeling! I grew up in the 60's/70's and I wouldn't change it for the world.
You should check out the videos of women reacting to this song and also to women reacting to Home Free’s version of “When a Man Loves a Woman”. They are so entertaining. This is such a classic. It may have been the most played song in the 20th century. It was also used in the movie “Ghost” with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopie Goldberg. There are two members of the group and they aren’t brothers. Check out “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’” and “(You’re my) Soul and Inspiration”
I really enjoyed your reaction to the classic. Unchained Melody is from the 1955 movie Unchained. It had 4 version on the charts in 1955, including one by the title singer, Al Hibbler, for the movie and one instrumental by Liberace. It is also one of the most covered song in history, only beat by some Beatles and Christmas songs with over 600 official versions. This version is considered the best, and most versions after 1965 are based on the song stylings co-produced my Bill and Bobby, with Bobby added onto the end of the song what had not been there before. His two octave range makes reproducing it very difficult with these stylings. Each album the Bill and Bobby do one solo song and Bobby won the coin flip to do this song for the album. While only his voice is featured, Bill is playing the piano on the studio version. He was also at this taping and the do another song together. This song sound familiar because it was featured in the 1990 movie Ghost with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. That version was also by the Righteous Brothers. However, they had to rerecord it 25 years later for the movie due to copyright issues.
The Righteous Brothers are brilliant; this is pure talent; this is blue-eyed soul; music tdy can't touch this
As mentioned, this was live, no margin for error, no effects, just the orchestra, the audience, an old Shure mic and a stunning Bobby Hatfield! This was on the Andy Williams Show as well and believe me, Andy Williams was a brilliant singer in his own right, so he nailed this tune and you can see that he knew it at the end. What a talent, sadly missed.
They were given the nickname The Blue Eyed Soul Brothers, by black DJ'S They were amazing.
That slow motion look to the camera 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 timeless music bro gotta love it this is waaaaaaay back when it was normal for men and women to love and miss each other crazy right it's true it's true alot of artists have done this song
This in my humble opinion... shows that Soul comes from the heart, it doesn't matter what color you are. You either have it or you don't. God Bless! 😻
Remember Bobby Hatfield. That’s his song and no one can ever do it better than him. So. Don’t ever get confused whose song that is
