With all due respect to the many artists who have covered this song, including Angelina Jordan, you need not have bothered. Bobby Hatfield cannot be bettered.

Not the original, just the best! This was written for a prison movie in the mid-50's and covered by at least a dozen singers before this. But Bobby totally killed it.

This is literally the greatest live performance of all time.

It’s the Original version. All others are Covers of the song.

I don't care what music you listen to, this is the greatest Solo EVER sung by mankind! Just UNREAL!!😲😲😲

It was Bobby, an orchestra, and a microphone. He was a master vocalist.

This is the best love song ever made .. Bobby Hatfield is singing it of the Righteous Brothers

1965 - - live tv, no retakes, no do over, no auto tune. No pressure but his mom was in the front row, reportedly her first time hearing him sing publicly

Bobby owns this song . End of conversation

Bobby owns this song. No one sang this better than he did. You need to respect that he had a cold. His mother was in the audience. He put his whole heart and soul into this song. I was 16 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful on the Andy Williams show in 1965. No auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! ❤❤❤❤

I was 15 and was frozen in place when I first heard it. It remains my all time favorite song. THE DEFINITIVE version no matter who else sings it. This song belongs to Bobby Hatfield.

Please don’t feel “cheated” that you heard only one performer. It’s all that the song needed and no one has done it better.

Hundreds of singers have recorded this song. NOBODY does it like Bobby Hatfield. This song was used in the movie "Ghost". The Righteous Brothers were 25 at this time. No auto tunes. Live performance, no second takes and his parents were in the audience. This song was written for a 1955 movie called "Unchained". Check out "Ebb Tide". In 1965, and way before, singers actually had to have talent to make it in the music business. Check out "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Soul and Inspiration". For Big Band sound, check out Glenn Miller's "In The Mood", "Moonlight Melody" and "Sting of Pearls". Check out Connie Frances "Where The Boys Are". Louis Armstrong "It's A Wonderful World". Judy Garland "Over the Rainbow".

Back in those days love songs were derived from the heart, not from the groin. A man named Al Hibler made this song popular back in the late '50's. Then the song was revived by The Righteous Brothers.

14:24 As someone else has already said the man in the pink was Andy williams. Andy Williams was a huge star for several decades and had his own variety show. He would often times have big stars on such as the Osmonds with Donny Osmond and the Jackson 5 with Michael Jackson and his brothers. Andy Williams has a beautiful voice of his own. You need to check out some of his music .

Remember pure raw talent nothing added

Bobby was known to have quite a lot of stage fright. This performance was especially great because he was very nervous as his mother was in the audience. Word was he was a bit under the weather as well. No autotune, no special electronics, one take live only. You used the perfect word - Magical

You had to have talent to sing back then ... no auto tune, no re-takes, just pure God given talent ..Check out You've Lost That Lovin Feeling (most played song of the 20th century). Also Bobby singing Summertime , You'll Never Walk Alone. Want to recommend you check out Dan Vasc .metal singer performs Amazing Grace

You may have heard this song, but not like this.. This is one of the few live performances that is better than the studio version. The best (solo artist) live performance of all time.

While I love Elvis' cover of this song, this will always be Bobby Hatfield's song. Bobby was still recovering from a cold and nervous because his mother was in the audience when he did this amazing solo performance.

The incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Done (Live) 59 years ago in 1965 on the NBC Andy Williams Televisions Show. Unchained Melody was composed by multi award winning composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret for the (1955) Prison Movie "Unchained." It was first sung by movie and stage actor and opera singer Todd Duncan for the 1955 movie. This performance by Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra of the Andy Williams Show. Performed 10 years later. Became the quintessential version of them all. It has become the standard by which every orchestra and every singer has use ever since. This performance by Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra has gone down as the greatest live performance in television history by many in the entertainment industry. Together they created magic that will endure for a lifetime. Brilliant!

Andy William's signature song was "Moon River".

I was born in 1964 the last year of the Baby Boomers. I found your channel looking for Righteous Brothers reactions. Elvis is my favorite Singer and the Bee gees my favorite group. I am so glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's and 80's. It was a Golden Era of Music. Andy Williams was a huge Star and was the one who introduced the Righteous Brothers.

The man hosting is Andy Williams. Famous singer! A crooner!

This song was originally released by other music artists in 1955. “Unchained Melody” had been around for ten years when Bobby Hatfield sang this song. The audience clapped early in the TV performance, because they were very familiar with the song.

I was 16 when this song was sung by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. They did not write it and it was sung as part of a movie, (can't remember when) but no one has ever done it like Bobby, he was the best.

That’s Andy Williams in the bright pink 💜

Premier songster in the 1960s-1980s; a pop recording star; had his own TV musical variety show (this video is an excerpt from a 1965 show). The untitled song was composed for a 1955 prison movie titled "Unchained"; since the tune was so popular, and widely recognized, it was simply tagged "Unchained Melody." This live TV version is highly acclaimed as the best version EVER. The version heard in "Ghost" is part of a studio cut. The studio orchestra is very professional and performs maybe as flawlessly as Mr. Hatfield!

I saw a recentish interview with Bill Medley. He said the album was released because of the reaction to the song in Ghost. It earned a box full of platinum records. One for every country where it sold more than a million copies.

What's so unbelievable about it is how effortlessly he's doing it. It's nothing for him.

This song was written in 1954 for a movie sound track. It was a prison movie called Unchained.

Listen to Bring Back That Loving Feeling, to hear their amazing voices together. ❤

Need to check out ‘You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling’ live where both are singing but Bill has the lead. And if you want to go back further, Andy Williams, the host of the show that interviewed them, has done Moon River beautifully and it was my Grandma’s favorite

Thank you for this reaction. How very interesting to hear your remarks. I was born in 1950 and I'm the average age of the baby boomers. I graduated from high school in 1968. Now aged 73. Imagine what I think! (about the music of my generation and beyond.) Rock/R & B/pop/blues etc. of that era was played and sung by musicians with the bare minimum of electronic processing. The musicians all played together and had to get it "right" in one take. People felt their fellow musicians' soul and reacted to it in the moment. They "sang off each other." Once recorded, the sound was much less processed, and I believe this preserved as much of the soul as possible. I think that much of the soul has been removed from the recordings or even from the live performances of today as a result of all the processing, correction, auto-tune, mixing, etc. Another thing that has been removed is the delight of hearing sounds that might not be exactly on key. These are exquisite and are as wonderful as the soul they capture. Auto-tune should be eliminated altogether.

You know this from the movie "Ghost". It came out in 1990 & revived Bobbi's recording from 1965. Bill did not sing this song because as a baritone/bass it really fit Bobbi's voice better. He produced it and played the piano in studio. They are great together. Try some more of theirs.They didn't need voice enhancements, they had talent & no one back then made it otherwise. I lived during those times & we were rarelly parted from our radios. We had no idea what they looked like, just their sound.They're big hit"You've Lost that Loving Feeling" was the MOST requested for the 20th century ( not Beatles, Stones, etc).

Andy Williams was considered one of the greatest vocalist of alll time. This was 1965 and Bobby was 25 years old at the time. Many people consider this to be one of the greatest love songs ever written..

Raw talent no Auto-Tune

I was 14 when I saw this on the Andy Williams show. Until I saw it on You Tube I never knew his suit color as we did not have a color TV.

This is Bobby Hatfield of whom nobody can match….nobody

Andy Williams, it was a weekly broadcast of his!

This is a song you slow dance to with your true love. Sung live! And he's handsome!

Andy Williams he has a great voice as well

The guy in the middle is Andy Williams. Great singer and performer..

Righteous Brothers are iconic. No autotune, just pure raw talent. Check out You've Lost That Loving Felling. It has both of them in it. It will blow your mind! Love your reactions!

His beautiful sound was known in the 60's as "blue-eyed soul". His voice draws out emotions now, almost 60 years later, as much as it did then. The Man in the middle, wearing the pink top, was Andy Williams.

the host of the show was Andy Williams, a famous crooner from the 40s and 50s.

One of the most beautiful songs of all time!

I was a mere teenager when I watched this performance on prime time television in 1965. A lot of good music in those days. I might be a bit biased because this is the music I grew up listening to.

As far as the mic, they were supposed to bring out a different mic for the song but Bobby grabbed the one off the stand and started. Listen to Summertime by Bobby and I just want to make love to you by Bill with some input from Bobby and of course, You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling by both together, and I’ll never Walk Alone from the Ed Sullivan show.

This song is also well known for its use in the 1990 movie "Ghost".

Bobby threw that "I really need your love" in for this iconic live performance. A masterpiece of a real voice. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was featured - sorta - in "Top Gun". You may recognize it when you hear it. "Unchained Melody" was written for a chain gang movie.

Thanks, Kids.. yep, Bobby was amazing... totally live, no synths, no autotune, no screaming or straining.. just pure talent... appreciate your listen...

The guy you asked about is Andy Williams this was his tv show. He was a very good singer in his own right one of his most famous hits was called "Moon river" he also done a few Andy Williams Christmas Christmas tv specials ✌️❤️

Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. Al Hibbler had one version in the mid 50s a few yrs later by Roy Hamilton(quite good). When Bob teams up with Bill Medley they belt out great songs as You lost that Lovin Feeling Soul and Inspiration Just once in my Life, Little Latin Lupe Lu, The Night Time is the Right Time. They were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and surely deserved it. Best of luck on yr channel. I recommend any of those songs for both of you to react to. The Righteous Brothers don't disappoint.

This song was written in 1955 for a low budget prison movie called “Unchained”. This might help you to understand the lyrics.

Andie Williams is the guy in pink, darlings

remember he sang Moon River

The host is Andy Williams, a singer whose variety show ran for five seasons from 1962 to 1966. The song comes from a 1955 movie called.....wait for it....."Unchained," a true story about a prison reform experiment where the prisoners were not locked up or guarded - unchained. One short verse of the song is sung in the film but it has become one of the most covered songs of all time.

That happens to me, I don’t know the name of the song, but know the song.

The guy in pink is Andy Williams., a pretty good talelnt himself.

His name is Andy Williams a very popular singer in his day

Well like you, Bobby had a head cold that night and was afraid he wouldn't do it well. He worried because his mother was in the audience that night for the first time.

It came from the movie GHOST

Timeless.

It's not a sick name. It's beautiful!

Andy Williams

The song itself is from the 1955 prison movie "Unchained."

His voice wow...just wow

Tom Jones, 1967, I'll never fall in love again. One of the best songs.

Great job guys, keep it going.

"Unchained Melody" was written for a mid fifties movie about a guy in prison. Bobby and Bill had a deal, each would do a solo on their albums. If you want to hear them both, try "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." That song is ranked by BMI as radios most requested and played song of the 20th century. 25 years after Bobby recorded "Unchained Melody" his recording was used as the background music for a love scene in the 1990 movie "Ghost." The public reaction was so positive, the album was rereleased, and it earned pile of platinum records. One for every COUNTRY where it sold more than a million copies.

"Unchained Melody" was written for a little known prison movie "Unchained" (1955) and was sung by Todd Duncan, a well known opera singer. It's a love song a prisoner is singing to his loved one while he is in prison.

If you want to her both sing l suggest the most played song" You Lost That Lovjng Feeling. Unchained Melody was sung here by the late Bobby Hatfield. The other guy is Bill Medley.

The gentleman they're talking with is Andy Williams. He had a variety show and he's also a talented singer. There's a video of him singing Scarborough Fair with Simon and Garfunkel which is really good. They harmonized beautifully together on it.

Back when no autopitch auto correct had real talent

I was born in the 80s in philippines but i was introduced to music like elvis presley, beatles, tomjones, etc. There was no excuse you wont know they are in radio stations and your neighbors loud radio 😂

This song is also way before my time, but I absolutely LOVE IT!! Btw, regarding how they got their name, I found out a few years ago that earlier in their career they were actually performing at a predominantly black nightclub down South...and the audience fell in love with them, and someone in the audience yelled out something like, "You're righteous, brothas!!"...and that's how they got their name...lol. I love that story. Also, although this song was from the 1960s, it made a huge resurgence in popularity in the 1990s with the release of the awesome movie "Ghost" (1990). You should also check out their other famous song, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". That song was famously featured in the 1986 movie "Top Gun".

one of the last songs Elvis sung live in 1977 was this song, find that live performance and watch it…. Amazing

I grew up then. Loving the music words and instrumentals were pure poetry and so much tslent Nothing now touched the music of then

Great reaction! IMO, one of the best live performances ever!
