OH MY!!!! I get chills EVERY SINGLE TIME!! This duo actually got their name when they were performing when an African American stood up and yelled "That's righteous brother!!" Their music is called "blue-eyed soul"!! A musician with soul is an EPIC MUSICIAN!! SOUL ROCKS!!!💙💙💙💙💙

No electronics - no computers - no help. Just a singer and a mike - and pure talent. So glad you appreciate them.

They were the first baby boomers, still connected to previous generation. 1950's Boomers created the Hippy Generation. Myself,1960. Witnessed the end of the Hippy in 1980, like a light switch. But you still see them around, Bald heads and ponytail's.

They were absolutely terrific no doubt about it

A year ago... I watched this video just before going in to the job. The song in my head... I jumped on the production line and began singing... Both Bill and Bobby's lines. Of course, I'm a horrible singer... But my boss was enjoying it.... Great song Great harmony. Great duet.

I didn't know that. I'll have to watch again for her. Thanks for the info.

The Righteous Brothers were the definition of blue eyed soul. Bobby Hatfield was the tenor on the left and Bill Medley the baritone on the right. This song, which was the most played on radio and tv in the 20th century, was released in December of 1964. Both of them were only 24 at that time. Early in their career they were performing at a club near El Toro Marine Base and Black Marines would say things like "That's righteous, brother" about their singing. That's where the name came from. (You're My) Soul and Inspiration should be next up. I Just Wanna Make Love to You, unfortunately not live, is another great one. Bobby does an absolutely raving version of Summertime, which is live.

You are exactly right. The name of the club was John's Black Derby In Santa Ana. It's interesting to note that at the time they were called The Paramours and they almost never became The Righteous Brothers if it weren't for Papa Bear Mike Patterson. It's a great story related by Bill Medley himself.

I was fortunate to see the Righteous Brothers in person. I was an 18 year old. These singers were loved by both people of color and white folks. I was born in the 50's and raised in both the 50's and 60's. These two decades were a time of great upheaval and change. The music that , was created gave us an escape to concentrate on the things that mattered to us all. Vietnam was escalating each year. Many young people played this music on their way to war. This music will never die and is being discovered by a new generation. Keep the music alive my soul brother. Peace be with you always.

The best song ever and the best duo

I am from The Netherlands Amsterdam, they play this song also very much on the radio here, Every one here knows this song, Elvis is the King, but they were his King-Brothers ❤❤❤

You have an old soul. The music of today can’t compare to this sweetness. I love your reactions.

This was 1967. Black radio stations thought these were two black guys. When it was put out that they were white black stations across the country banned the song from airplay and that just isn't right. Great music is great music, I was nine when this song came out and I loved it. So much great music back then, you have no idea and no auto tune crap like today, you had to be able to sing. The black music in the sixties was incredible. Now you want to hear the greatest of all time , check out The Beatles my man. Nobody ever did it better !

Thè òther unfortunate truth was "white" stations didn't play "Black". Great ignorance and stupidity!

The only thing that could make that vid any cooler, is if Bobby, after sitting patiently for Bill to do his bit, had stood up, and thrown a cigarette away, swigged the last of a can down and crushed it! Sorry, my imagination runs away with me sometimes. Everything about this, the soaring voices behind them, the strings, the Wall of Sound, the silhouettes, the grainy black and white, Bill begging, Bobby wailing, the rocking out at the end ... baby, baby, pleassssse! Still love it after all these years.

So beautiful..the smile on your face is pure happiness.

Great reaction. I just love watching the joy of discovery shine on your face. Im so pleased you love our "old school" music.

The smile on this guys face tells you everything you need to know.

" You'll Never Walk Alone" by Righteous Brothers is another good one

You are just too cute! I was only 11 years old when the Righteous Brothers singing. I've had almost an entire life of listening to them. So beautiful.

I don't know where you got your info but Bill Medley never took care of Bobby. Bobby died of heart failure in a hotel room night before they were to a concert

They appeared on the Andy Williams sho & he asked how they came up with their name..The Rightous Brothers....they had played at a club...at the end of their last song & and through the applauds this one man yelled out to them, "That was righteous brothers"!!!!! And they liked the way that sounded...the rest is history!!!💞💞💞

It's WAY better when you hear both of them together! This was the most played song on radio worldwide in the 20th century! They started out in a vocal quintet called The Paramours. When the group split up, Bill & Bobby continued performing together as Hatfield & Medley. They were performing at a nightclub right next to a marine corps base in Southern California and one night, one of the marines (a black guy) stood up and yelled, "That was Righteous, Brothers!", and the name stuck. When I lived in Las Vegas in the mid-90s, they used to play there all the time and I got to see them live there several times. Even 30 years after the hits, they still sounded incredible. Other great songs of theirs are Soul & Inspiration (sort of a sequel to You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'), Rock & Roll Heaven, Ebb Tide, Justine and Little Latin Lupe Lu.

Both the Righteous Brothers were 24 when Unchained Melody and You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling were released in early 1965. Bobby turned 25 on August 10th, and Bill turned 25 on September 19th. I grew up loving their music, so I especially enjoy when someone as young as you discovers them. Your reactions are good! 🎶👍

They were 24 years old. Bobby was 1 month older. Bobby's "Summertime" will blow you away. Bill's Brown eyed Woman will make you cry. And there are so many others, they were the best of the best. Neither of them had any formal vocal training.

I lv watching your reactions because you’re so sincere and honest and you enjoy different genres of music because you just love music .. i think if music can bring so many people together .. I love watching your channel because it makes me happy

Great song brilliantly sung, love the reaction. Interesting little fact, one of the backing singers is a young lady called Cher.

The Righteous Brothers hit you with their "Thunder" (Bill Medley: Deep Baritone) and "Lightning" (Bobby Hatfield: High Tenor), as you can see & hear, together they are "unmatched" and a force to be reckoned with!!! Their voices just go together and they blend so well like "peanut butter & jelly," "fish & chips," "rice & beans," "mac & cheese," "cake & ice cream," "salt & pepper," "shrimp & grits," burgers & fries," "milk & cookies," etc., etc...I believe you get the picture!!! The next song to react to by them is "Soul and Inspiration," as they continue to "deliver the goods!!!" These dudes are some pure soulful brothers!!!

You've Lost that Loving Feeling is actually the most requested and played song of the 20th century

Here's a little backstory, they used to be called the Paramours, but one time they had performed for a group of black Marines and someone in the audience yelled "That was righteous brothers!" Hence their name...or at least that's the story I heard.

This is a perfect example of why we seniors think that , in general, modern music sucks.

Thank you. You are a sweetheart.

I'm 60 years old and grew up on this kind of music. I am LOVING you reactions!! Back then it was pure talent, not a bunch of machines making a voice sound better that it really was. You should listen to Credence Clearwater Revival, the Allman Brothers when you get a chance.

Great reaction to a classic! Love watching you smile as you get into the song!

Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were doing a show and one of the black guys at the concert came up to them and said, "That's righteous, brother!!!" And now you know the rest of the story. They liked what he said and that's how they became The Righteous Brothers. Glad you like em....

I was a little 10 year old girl when this came out. We all loved it, our families loved it. We little kids used to say, "Yaw, one of the Righteous Brothers Mama was Black!" LOL! You didn't have to be grown to feel the love and longing these men successfully communicated in this song. It came out in December, 1964, the same month and year Sam Cooke was murdered and a beloved Aunt died. Because of that, and the fear of loss of love they sing about, this song still is beautiful and haunting for me. One of my all time favorite songs and performances FOR EVER!

Bill Medley - the one with the deeper voice - also sung the song from the film Dirty Dancing "Time of my life" with Jennifer Warnes.

If you liked this one, please react to Soul and Inspiration. It was written as a follow-up to the success of this song by the same writers, features both "brothers", and peaked at #1 in the US for three straight weeks in 1966. And a tidbit: one of the female back-up singers in this song was a 18 year old named Cherilyn Sarkisian; today she is simply known as Cher.

A Black Marine at El Toro Marine Base called out “Righteous, Brothers!” after hearing one of their earliest gigs. They liked it and adopted it.

I love watching these songs. I remember watching my Mom and Dad dancing to this song and they even use to dance in the grocery stores when this song would come on in the stores. People use to watch thrm dance til it was done. I miss them so much. Dad passed in 2007 and Mom in 2014...

"Soul and Inspiration" is the next one to listen to.

Efffing LOVE the smile on your face brutha!!! That my friend is what great music does..😁 I used to work for Bill & Bobby in the mid 90’s as part of their secdetail; BOTH just as they seemed... down to earth, ready with a polite greeting, and quick witted with infectious humor!! Bobby IS related to the famous Hatfield’s of “Hillbilly Feud” fame, his grandfather moved the family out west soon after. Also, a little known Cherilyn Sarkisian or “Cher” was one of the backup singers in the background!

They were in their TWENTIES also when they did this.This song was played more times than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has surpassed it. BOBBY was the tenor and Bill Melody was the baritone their voices shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic. You really enjoy and appreciate this music I glad you do.

I’d get down on my knees....my fav.

@darealadogg This is the first time that I have watched any of your videos. I was 17 when this song was playing, in the summer of 1968, in Orillia, Onatario, Canada, on CFOR Radio 1570. I was camping at Bass Lake Provincial Park at the time. Please check out Bill Medley's "Brown Eyed Woman", so I can see your reaction. It came out about a year or 2 later and Bill is singing it with a girl chorus to give him background vocals, without Bobby Hatfield, the other Righteous Brother. It's a sad song/tune in which Bill reveals just how raunchy he can sing.

They were one of the greatest Duo ever

Pure magic and perfection....no more words said

You have a beautiful smile! I really enjoyed watching your reaction and appreciation of this. Keep being you and doing what you do!!!😊

I got to see Bill Medley in concert a few years ago and he’s still got it. When he sings “Unchained Melody” he dedicates it to Bobby Hadfield.

I grew up during this time of music. It was great then and it’s some of the best music around. A voice and a microphone 🎤 that’s it.

This song was the most played song in "all" of the 20th century. Thats how great they were. So glad you appreciated it.

I love this song, you have to hear Soul and Inspiration as well. Another great song by the Righteous Brothers

This brings me such a smile. My Daddy and Uncles had a band and they played at all our wedding and get togethers, sometimes in the parks or bars once in a while. My Dad always sang this song and when my brother got older he sang the high tenor Bobby’s part. My Daddy passed away from cancer in August. This really was one of my favorite songs he did.

Love seeing that big beautiful smile of yours, shows how much you are appreciating this music.

I heard (not sure it's true, mind you) that they were singing live when they first got started and someone hollered "that's righteous, brother". And the rest is history. I had a huuuuge fan crush on Bill Medley back in the day 😊

I love your smile and reactions. So nice to see a young guy appreciate the music from that time.

How they got there name: They adopted the The for the duo because (while performing in a club in California) after a set one of the black Marines from the El Toro Marine base yelled out "That's " The name stuck.

I have the biggest smile on my face right now watching you enjoying this song…..your show is awesome…..and you too!

I think the story goes that after a performance, a Black Marine shouted, "That's righteous, brother!" no doubt impressed with the soul in a couple of White boys.

Thanks for honoring the history of the vocal arts! And many others.

Blue eyed soul right here.

My dad's 1st new car was a 1964 Pontiac Tempest. It didn't come with radio so my father and I went to a place and had an AM radio with an outside antenna and one speaker in the dashboard installed. As we drove away, this was the first song that played. It's strange that I can remember this.

I was a 9 yo kid when this came out. I remember being told 'Shush!' by the lady-folk when it was playing on the radio.

Everytime I hear this I think of the the first time I "officially" went to a bar after I turned 21. An after work drink with friends. When my now husband and I walked in this was playing. They threw me in a chair and started singing to me. It became a thing with our group. Especially at weddings when we all started getting married. The bride sat in a chair on the dance floor and the guys sang this to us.💜 Good times. Good friends.

I am an old version but I love watching a young person like yourself enjoying music of my youth. Great reaction!!

An absolute classic of two fantastic voices.

There's a pretty cool little story about how they became the righteous Brothers. They were singing at a military I believe a military installation and the audience being a bunch of young military men were listening to them in a concert and someone in the audience yelled out something to the effect that you're righteous Brothers they like the music so well they told him that they were righteous and Bobby Hatfield and Bill medley like that and decided to call themselves The righteous Brothers that's how the righteous Brothers came into being other than the fact that the music label kind of put them together but they didn't actually have a name yet and that concert at the military installation was how they got the name righteous Brothers.

When they were just getting started they performed at a club in El Toro California. A group of black Marines from camp Pendelton were there and one of the Marines jumped up and yelled out, "That's righteous!" The rest is history. And yes, this is absolutely true.

One of their background singers was Cher when she was still unknown.

The Righteous Brothers are "Blue Eyed Soul" their voices compliment each other

Pure talent. pure class

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

I remember them. They were great and had great harmonies. Loved it!

I am so enjoying the reactions all you young men are doing towards the old, classic music. I graduated high school in 1974 & by then, the Righteous Brothers popularity was waning because of the GIANT leaps technology that took place in the Music Industry. So, now I'm retired & and have time to enjoy this CLASSIC MUSIC & I love your reactions!! I guess I'm going down Da Real Adogg RABBIT HOLE. I watch & appreciate your news programs & share them on FB.

It might be from the sixties, but it got new life when Tom Cruise sang it to Kelly McGillis in Top Gun. Great sing from my youth, always reminds me of my Swedish girl friend, we were both au pairs in Westport Ct, I was from Denmark. She loved this song and also "When a man loves a women". I stayed in the US, she went back to Sweden, but were still friends 55 years later.

I just googled both of the singers...they were both born in 1940, so they were both around 24-25 years old when they sang this. This is what 24/25 year old folks looked like back in the sixties, some anyways, hippies were totally different. Damn, they looked so darn grown up back then

I think both Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were 24 when this was recorded.
