Grandma here. I was a teen when this song came out. I used to listen to them on the radio. And yes black and white kids listened to them. Actually in the 60’s we all listened to all the music. It wasn’t white music or black music. It was just our music

Facts. BUT… These shows ALWAYS had the artist pantomime over the album cuts. People wanted to hear what they heard on the record and no producer who made it to that level would risk mistakes. The BBC learned the hard way what happens when you let an artist perform LIVE on Live TV. Jimi Hendrix taught those fools you don’t put restrictions on an artist with actual talent. The Lulu Show. 1968. Jimi fixed some attitudes that night.

Definitely blue-eyed soul. I also heard of hall and Oates referred to as "blue-eyed soul," as well. They have many many top 10 Hits under their belt if you wanna check those out. I've heard that this particular song is the most requested song in all of the 20th century on radio apparently. something like that. I'm sure the top gun appearance of this song probably brought it even a renewed fame in the 80s.

everyone thinks they are black
Now you know why those of us who grew up in the 60's think we had the best music EVER!
They were known as Blued-eyed soul and I grew up with them thinking they were black singers until I saw them the first time on TV and was shocked. They got their name when singing in a club and after a performance some black marines were there, and they hollered out "that's righteous brothers" and they decided to keep the name.

I'm 75, and back then we didn't know what our favorite singers looked like until we saw them live on television, and we didn't care; we just loved our music. The Righteous Brothers were a really big hit with everyone, and their song Unchained Melody is a classic still loved very much now, sixty years later.

I was around in 1964 when they sang this. This was the most played song on radio an tv in the 20th Century. Google it if you don’t believe me. Many hit songs together and as soloists. You need to hear Unchained Melody which Bobby Hatfield sang by himself. You want to hear quality. Also there #1 hit Soul and Inspiration. After 60 years these are still played today. Sadly Bobby Hatfield left us in 2003. Enjoy these classics young man.

No worries, I'm 75 white and back in the day we all thought they were black until we saw them on a TV variety show! And also there were so many awesome black groups we loved too. This group was Major popular! This is the most played song in history.
I was a teenager when this came out. There were no music videos . We knew nothing about how the singers we listened to looked. unless we saw an album cover or saw them on TV. They definitely sang Soul. I can't describe the shock that ricocheted down the halls of my high school when we found out they were white. I mean, the music was Soul, man. For real. That's when we found out that Soul has no color.
I feel so sorry for anyone who was not blessed to remember the fabulous 1960’s and early 70’s music. The Golden Age of rock n roll raw talent. These artists went into the studio, recorded their songs, and that was it. The talent was incredible. Especially since there was zero manipulation or changes to the recordings. We Boomers had the best of the best, no question whatsoever.
I'm 76 and a teen when this came out. They were EPIC and any woman who had hormones just melted. They were on TV a lot
Ahh there it is! That moment of "I'm sorry WHAAAAAT?" My favorite part of watching these reactions to The Righteous Brothers.
You're not biased you're not prejudiced and he has a gorgeous voice and there's no denying it
As an old white woman, I can understand your confusion . It brings me joy to watch you enjoying it.
70 year old white woman; this was called blue eyed soul and we all loved it.

I think they came out even earlier (1962 or 1963) on a label called Moonglow. You should hear the little string of hits they had at that time -- wild and uptempo. Listen to "Koko Joe", "My Babe", "B-Flat Blues", "Little Latin Lupe Lu", "Try to Find Another Man". I cannot understand why reactors don't pull up those early hits and REALLY enjoy the greatness of the Righteous Brothers.

I grew up with their music....and music way before this. Music has no color. You are not the first reactor to 'not expect this'. You need to check out their "Unchained Melody". They each had solos in their performances. "Unchained Melody" is Bobby Hatfield's. This is a live TV performance. No auto tunes. No second takes. Check out "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Sour and Inspiration". Bobby Hatfield has a five octave range. The Righteous Brothers were referred to a "Blue-eyed Soul". You probably heard this song in the movie "Top Gun".

I love me some Righteous Brothers. And I 100 percent agree….we need that kind of music back.
1964, walking thru my dorm, half the radios I heard were playing a song by these boys. We did have the very best music back in those days.
They called the Righteous Brothers "Blue-eyed soul". Bill and Bobby had incredible harmonies. Bobby was an incredible tenor.
This was the most requested song on the radio in the 20th century. A young Cher was one of the background singers

I was 14 teen when this came out and I got to watch it at a neighbor house which I wasn’t supposed to be over there and boy. It was great sitting on the floor watching the on TV saying this song now at 72 it brings back many memories. Righteous brothers was bad and they went on for years great to see the younger generation learning about great artists of the past

I'm 61 years old and big guy you are right about them slayin grandma's, my Mom said she and all her friends, in fact all women, all races just fell in love with these two cats. They were true artists of their craft.
Blue Eyed Soul is how I have heard it explained as. I was 16 when this was recorded and the girls of the day went crazy over their sound. You have got to remember that this is live, no electronics, no auto tune, just plain talent. Many singers of that era made classics that many still sing word for word today. Unchained Melody was and is the most copied song in history and Bobby singing it solo just killed it. Go back into the 60's charts and see the talent we had back then and you will be surpised.
I’m 77 yrs old. Everyone thought they were black until their album came out with their pictures on it. All their songs were over the top!
Pure talent no one can touch their voices
I believe this was Soul before there WAS Soul!! It's so wonderful to see how suprised young people are with the music we grew up with! Thank you!!!
Devante, welcome to the world of "Blue Eyed Soul". They are the reason that phrase was coined. And don't worry about thinking they were black when they started singing and you couldn't see their faces. They sing with such soul that many people think that. I too have been misguided by my ears before. Dobie Gray was a black singer that I didn't know was black until I saw a video. If you get a chance check out his song "Drift Away". It was a classic when I was growing up and I never knew he was black. I appreciate his music even more now. But I loved your honest reaction to this music video. 👍👍
Blue-eyed Soul! I VERY much enjoyed your reaction. Already knew what was coming so I was looking for it. Like everyone else has said, live performance, no auto tune, just pure talent! ❤
Almost 60 year old mics and the sound that good. No computer to correct the sound of their voices. Pure.
These guys are legends !! This song was played on the radio more than any other song in the 20th century !!! Read that again ! Check out unchained melody, soul and inspiration, rock ‘n’ roll Heaven, and many more

no modern enhancement equipment, just his voice and his mike !
You're absolutely right. Back in the sixties, we listened to everything and the pop music stations played everything, R&B, rock, etc., all on the same stations. It was a great time to be alive!!

NO Falsetto. For falsetto listen to the BeeGees.
Back in the day, we listened to music, good music, great music, funny music. Big Band tunes and the very best singers that ever walked the planet. I was born in '55, when the King of Rock 'n Roll was singing about houndogs and shaking his stuff in the jailhouse. I became "aware" when I heard Roy Orbison on a 9-volt transister radio and the world exploded like nuclear skyrocket when The Beatles headlined on Ed Sullivan and the rest is history. None of us cared what color the singer's skin was, it was their sound and their character onstage. Chuck Barry and Louis Armstrong, Nat "King" Cole and Aretha Franklin, but then Ol' Blue Eyes was a tough act to follow, so was The Fifth Dimension and The Temptations; later on we were diggin' us some Carlos Santana. And everyone who was hip was also way cool. We did that little thing called Woodstock;) days of music, brotherhood and love ... and Jimmy Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner. I'm pushing 70 now, but I'm glad that I was born into possibly the greatest time to ever live through. Sorry for the ramble, sometimes I just get going ...
Definitely check out Bobby Hatfield’s “Unchained Melody” and the Righteous Brothers’ “Soul and Inspiration” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” on the Ed Sullivan Show, “Just Once In My Life”. Their debut song was “Little Latin Lupe Lu”. If you want to hear soul, listen to Bill Medley’s “I Just Want To Make Love to You” and Bobbie’s “Summertime”. Bobby had a 4 or 5 octave voice. They could sing anything!

Agree to all of @hkbit3 suggestions of the next songs to listen to by the incredible Righteous Brothers. Loved your reaction & I subscribed. You were on point with all of your feelings. Add the record of "Ebbtide" sung solo by Bobby Hatfield to your listening/reaction list. The emotions they put into each song is amazing & their music is timeless. Sadly Bobby has been gone for 20 years but the baritone Bill Medley at age 83 is still performing with a new partner. I saw them last year in CA & saw the original brothers perform in IN about 1966. All these years and I still love their music.
This was their first #1 hit but they were one of the top groups of the sixties, with 22 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and at one point three albums in the top twenty simultaneously. Their inspiration was R&B which in those days was all 'coloured music', so plenty of people thought they were black when they first heard them. For their first three years they sang raucous rock and roll and were really popular in clubs and dances on the west coast, but in 1964 Phil Specter became their producer and gave them ballads like this one. Bill's bass baritone voice mixed with Bobby's high tenor with a stunning harmony that no group before or since has duplicated, but individually they had powerful voices as soloists. I hope you review more of their work... don't forget their first hit 'Little Latin Lupe Lu' written and produced by Bill. 😊kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJyArM1paKjJpMY.html
You'll never hear voices like this again because today everything is autotuned to get rid of all the wobbles and mistakes. These guys were naturally perfect and were singing live.

When I first heard them I thought the same thing. This was called Blue-Eyed Soal Music. You should also check out their songs "Soal And Insperation" , or even " Unchained Melody", " Rock N Roll Heaven. The deep voice is Bill Melody and the other is Bobby Hatfield. Bonby does " Unchained Melody " as a solo act. ❤

Love hearing the Righteous Brothers anytime. There isn’t anything today that compares with these two men. They had God given voices that moved generations.

I love to see people react to the Righteous Brothers and this song is my favourite buy them because they are in silhouette for a reason and you have to figure it was live there's no taking away what a classic performance this is 50 plus years later❤❤
I was born Oct. 1959. I have always loved all this generations' music. 50's and 60's had it going on. I like a lot of today's music of all genres, but these golden oldies will always be my favorite.
Watched your reaction to this dynamic duo several times and it's priceless. They really were "top notch" and you have so much more to discover. They had great soulful love songs but they were also known for letting it rip as you will see in some of their other duo and solo performances. Yes! They were both slayers and some of us old birds are falling in love with them all over again. Thanks for keeping their legacy alive for other generations to hear.
He is one of us, we are all human. But they were called blue eyed soul for a reason sir.
This song is a classic, it’s about all mankind, amazing song, we all feel same today.
Dude got you black white white black still red blood😊
EVERYONE was listening to this back in the day. I was watching this broadcast real-time and it blew everyone's mind. The song shot up to number one and stayed there. This performance still floors me every time I see it.
If those backup singers are the "Blossoms"- Then he was singing to one of THEM! He and Darlene Love were together sometime around that time!
Love to see reacting as you do, really appreciating like you did ! The hottest, romantic and soulful group of the 60's. They were called Blue eyed souls ! we only listened through the radio or vynil and everybody thought they were black, the bests of R&B, until they tv became affordable... and we realize they were white …!! Their name was chosen after a tour through the south when they performed in a saloon near a black marine base and some went see them. They were so impressed that shouted what they used to : that's righteous, brothers! They never fail you, allways give chills ! They sing solo, 🔥 Bill's I wanna make love to you or absolutely surreal Bobby's Summertime !!! And together their harmonies are spotless, moving and brilliant. But don't forget the most famous love song ... Bobby's Unchained Melody 🎶 the blonde one , he is a countertenor, don’t need falsetto , it’s natural and will blow you again ❤

That reaction at a minute 20 kills me every time. SOOOO many people if they've never seen these guys have that same one. The first singer here is Bill Medley. Check "Unchained Melody" to see Bobby Hatfield in action. There is a video that includes an interview with both of them before Bobby sings that is worth watching. It's fun and also tells how they got their name.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this, it's refreshing to see the younger generation listening & reacting to this type of music. I was born in 1977 & my parents listened to as they are called "the golden oldies". Growing up my parents would always tell me that I was born in the wrong era, I absolutely love the oldies. I look forward to watching more of your reactions.
They were just so fantastic pure talent!!
Yes, they were slaying Gramma!
That's a solid 10, my man. This hit the airwaves and was the most requested song in the 20th Century. Starting in 1964, the same year The Beatles hit The Ed Sullivan, completely overshadowing the previous act, the Broadway cast of Oliver starring a young *Davy Jones. Welcome to 1964. It was glorious. 😊 *Davy Jones became the lead singer of the wildly popular group, The Monkees.
Good review. I was 15 when this song came out. We listened to all kinds of pop/rock/soul music and it didn't matter whether the singers were black or white, American or British or Ausie, from the east coast, west cost or in the middle. My favorite groups were the Temptations, Four Seasons, Beach Boys, Gladys Night and the Pips, Righteous Brothers, Supremes, Beatles, Four Tops, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Jan & Dean, and I could go on forever about the great groups and singers. And after the 60s, there were the great 70s and the incredible 80s. I was a lucky guy to be young when I was.
I was 10 when this song came out 😊. I loved Bill Medley's voice. I still do, just makes me smile. I'm a 69 year old grandmother.
They were called blue eyed soul. Women of every colour were in love with these two. The most requested and played song of the 20th Century. Listen to Bobby singing Unchained Melody. The version that starts with the Andy Williams show. Then You’ll Never walk alone. For a surprise ending. This was 28 years before you.
Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are all in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)
I like your humbleness and appreciation for the singers. Good job Sir
Your facial expressions when you found out they were white are simply priceless! 😂
I've long loved these guys since my mom played their music as I was growing up. If you want to hear some talent from now check out the acappella groups of Home Free and Voice Play.

I watched this performance on TV and asked my mother for $1.00 so that I could buy the 45. Back then we called The Righteous Brothers blue-eyed soul.
The shock and surprise never gets old. There is a reason they were called blue-eyed soul
They were the best examples of 'Blue Eyed Soul.' Bee Gees, Hall and Oats, The Animals...they were ALL blue eyed soul. Believe it or not, Music wasn't as racial back then. The Beatles idolized Little Richard and Chuck Berry in their teens. Ed Sullivan had The Supremes, The Platters, Ike and Tina Turner, Marvin Gaye on along with the Rolling Stones and Elvis. Talent is talent.
They were known as the first "blue-eyed soul" singers. Their name came from a black Marine who called out their singing was righteous after hearing them. Bill is the tall one with the deep voice. Bobby has the high voice. Watch Bobby's solo on the Andy Williams show. A phenomenal live performance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aXtpyMmNmbPMhqw.html. Enjoy!
