Actually, in ear monitors were a godsend to all the musicians on the state. I'm not talking about auto tune here. When my bro and his bands were playing rock n roll in the 50s and 60s, they would crank up the volume in the amps so high in order for the musicians to hear each other. I remember standing next to the amplifier towers to be able to hear the bass well. The vocalists were actually forced to sing louder than they should have because they couldn't tell if they were loud enough. Some of us, musicians ad audience, ended up with permanent mid- range hearing damage. First came the floor monitors, and then the ear monitors. They weren't trying to correct pitch, they were just trying to hear each other.

It's called talent, an animal rarely seen in the wild today.

Someone can ask me what my favorite music is, and before they can finish the sentence, I'll say "1960s Motown!" It is absolutely, without a doubt, the best music in the world to me. So much feeling, I can just close my eyes and get lost. That's why I love this, too, because it has that soul.

I remember when this came out! I was in my car, just running to town, listening to my car radio and out of nowhere came this spectacular sound! I was in amazement! THAT SOUND! OH, my GOODNESS! I still love this song after all of these years! Just think, NO autotune, no inhancement of any kind! This is when people actually tried to hone their craft and perfect their GOD given talent! They were so perfect! Bobby Hatfield died in 2005 from lung cancer, however Bill continued to sing, and at one time did get a replacement! Bill Medley later in life, along with Jennifer Warren, sang that phenomenol song for the movie, "Dirty Dancing", "I've Had The Time of My Life" won many Grammies and is the most loved song and also the best dance scene ever! These guys were the BEST! Unless you were alive for their impact, you wouldn't believe it! Thank you so much for reacting to them and bringing some much needed happiness into my dreary day! Thank you!🎉

@stanleywiggins5047 I’ve been Black for 65 years and 11.5 months. I have no idea how anyone can turn “No auto tune” into a Black or a rapper issue. It simply isn’t. Auto Tune has often been used in music today to enhance many mediocre singers’ voices. All races. Saying there was no auto tune means and ONLY means the sounds of their raw talent was just that, Raw Talent and Awesome. All of the groups we listened to several decades ago, Black, White and yes Purple with Yellow Polkadots sang without auto tune. People just hear it mentioned more often with the Righteous Brothers because their voices were so amazing and Bobby’s range was ridiculously unbelievable. It means it wasn’t enhanced. I laugh each time a reactor mentions how small the mics were back then. Why do they need such big mics now? When you can sing, all you need is a mic that doesn’t give you feedback.

Now you need to hear them sing "You'll Never Walk Alone." They will really blow your mind on this one

Bobby Hatfield is the blond counter tenor, Bill Medley is the taller Baritone. So Soul & Inspiration, You'll Never Walk Alone (from the Ed Sullivan show) What I'd Say (with Andy Williams from same show as Unchained Melody. )Rock and Roll Heaven and Dream On for both "Brothers". Ebb Tide, My Prayer, Cryin in the Chapel, Stay with Me and the phenomenal Summertime by Bobby Hatfield. Georgia and the earlier suggestion for Bill. For Fun, their first "rockin" hits Little Latin Lupe Lu, My Babe, Koko Joe and I need Your Lovin Everyday all live performance on the show Shindig.(There are many more. ) oh and they are both 25 years old here.

There are two film clips of them performing this song; in this one they are lip synching, the other was filmed live with an off stage orchestra and a choir in the background. It's often been said that Cher was a member of that choir ... Phil Specter's "Wall Of Sound" added a special layer to it as well. But the rather significant historical backstory to the song, is that YLTLF had a great deal of air time on American radio. Between 1964 and 2001 You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was played at least 8,000,000 times, blowing away every piece of music ever played since radio was born.

Well, being featured in the movie Top Gun made it wildly popular again, probably a huge chunk of the number of plays,

As others have stated, the most played/listened too song of the 20th century; radio, television, movies and records. When a Righteous Brothers song would be played at a dance the girls would melt. Vocal harmonies like no one else. A couple of the original panty droppers. Like I said they melted the women and still do.

I grew up to this music & the righteous bros. are the bomb. They don't make music like this anymore...harmony & soul!!

👍👍Awesome old school classic goooodnessss. 🖖❤

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on a 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 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance. Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. 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 Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

Bill Medley's bass/baritone & Bobby Hatfield's tenor complimented the other's voice SO well.

As teenagers, we waited for every new release from this talented duo. They never disappointed!!!

Bobby Hatfield was an amazing singer that could sing from range to range effortlessly

They were so talented and had so much style! They had to be perfectionists!

I think you would love Unchained Melody Sung by the righteous Brothers. It really highlights Bobby Hatfield. Unchained melody comes much later and you can see how much older Bobby Hatfield is in unchained Melody. These songs are so dear to my heart, beautiful beautiful voices.

I was young when The Righteous Brothers were around. My older sisters would play their music ALL the time. Please play I Just Want To Make Love to You - by the Righteous Brothers - you're gonna fall over!!! Blue eyed soul -ROCKS!!!

I wasn't a teenager when the song came out but my father absolutely loved the Righteous Brothers!! He would play You've Lost that Loving feeling cranked as high as he could get that radio to go and he and I was just enjoy a truly fabulous song!!!!!!

I was a teenager when this song came out I used to sit in my room and just play it over and over and over. I love this song I love these guys.

❤❤❤❤grew up listening to thr great Righteous Brothers!!How I miss this music!!

Their songs always hits the same ❤️sad to have lost them and so many other’s from that era🩷

The harmony between them is second to none before or after.

I was born in 76 and when I first heard this song when I was a kid without seeing them I straight up thought it was a black man and black woman duet. That's just what my brain pictured.

👵🏽✌🏾💚💚💚 Love the Righteous Brothers! Enjoyed your reaction!

This type of music and performance became known as Blue Eyed Soul. And you can tell by listening to what they mean by it. These guys were the best of their genre. I saw them in concert back in the 80s in Las Vegas. They were in concert at the Rio. My wife and I were vacationing and I had no idea these guys were there and she surprised me with tickets. Bobby couldn't hit those super high notes anymore but it didn't matter. Nothing was lost in the harmonies and nothing was lost in that passion.

Top shelf blue eyed soul.

I can't decide what I was enjoying more, the singing or your reaction to it.

This music isn't a top 40 in today's society. I can understand why you never heard of it before. It warms my heart to see you educate yourself in older quality music.

Can you imagine how we felt in England when we heard this America here we come

This song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" made it to the Guinness Book of World Records as the most played and listen to song on the radio in the 20th Century. These are all facts. Bill Medley Baritone Voice and Bobby Hatfield Counter Tenor voice are the Dynamic Dou known as the 'Righteous Brothers.' Great reaction to a duo that were moderately famous back in their heyday of the 60's. They are more popular today than when they were performing these hits back in the 60's.

wowee the old days were so good they thought nothing of it with these 2 lol im used to the other fancier video but i like this now too love the casual nature of it, a few guys n girls dancing nonchalantly. they were truly great timeless classic and they had a few of them .

Love your reaction!!! This was the most played song of the 20th century. Check out Bobby singing Summertime

We had the best music. Absolutely the best! I introduce all my music students to the 60s and 70s music.

my boyfriend from long ago used to sing this song to me, as it was his favorite song.

Yep, I laughed so hard watching you. High School thru college this guys, we heard them a lot on the radio. They were the “ IT”guys back in my day.

Great vocals are everything! The magic of the universe!

This song received the most radio play of any song in the 20th century. And it made women melt! If you were out with your girl and this song came on the radio, at the very least, you were going to get 4 1/2 minutes of quiet.😉 If you were really lucky, well....

I love to watch her reaction when someone hits a note that you were Not expecting

The high(tenor) voice guy is Bobby Hatfield, the dark(baritone) voice is Bill Medley, Bill had a known vocal range of almost 3 octaves before he would go to falsetto,, quite a wide range, Bobby had a range of almost 5 octaves, known as a contra-tenor, before falsetto. That range is extremely rare.

It was wonderful watching your pure reaction to this. Loved, loved, loved it!

Happy to say I lived through this fantastic music era . Now I am 77 and my dance instructor grandson reaches back teaches dance to this fantastic music

Talent singing didn't matter color etc better than most of the sheizen we get today

You know there are sooo many assume music back in the early 60s with Elvis, the rightous brothers some.many incredible artists back then ,nothing luke today, these guys back then had True Talent, back they didn't have the equipment like today, that makes artist sound good. This is just incredible Talent on the artists back then. tell that not true.

Love your reaction. No one sounds like them! Then or now!

They were not brothers. But maybe you already heard their story. They were the bomb and still are. I'm 68 years old and still listen to their music because it was pure talent. No auto tune, no editing. The mother of the blonde was a voice teacher. She taught him the importance of breathing fully when singing to be able to reach the high notes. He did her proud the time he sang Unchained Melody, he had a cold at the time and his parents were in the audience of that live taped tv show.

And this was live and long, long before anyone ever heard of autotune! Bill Medley (bass-baritone) and Bobby Hatfield (tenor) had a number of top songs during their partnership e.g. Ebbtide, For Sentimental Reasons, White Cliffs of Dover, Soul and Inspiration and Little Latin Lupe Lu just to name a few. They were every girls dream duo 💖

You REALLY, REALLY need to watch the live version!!! It's IDENTICAL to the video. Absolutely NO remastering or auto tune...or any of the stuff they use today to alter voices! They are older in the live version and it's phenomenal!!!

Great reaction, MontWRLD - you captured its very essence! Anything by Shirley Bassey, who sang the theme songs of James Bond movies “Goldfinger,” and “Diamonds are Forever.” These will take you down the rabbit hole of many untold gems Examples: “For All We Know,” “Love Song.”

Blue eyed soul is what they called it. Please watch and listen to more of them. They were just great. Bobby and Bill rocked! Thanks for bringing back memories.

1964 The Temptations My Girl was the biggest hit let's not forget The Beatles were hitting the scene HARD...

This is a different video from the many other reactions I’ve seen of this song, but the reaction of amazement is exactly the same. 👍👍

Someone else may habe already said this but they were not brothers. They had performed a song abdd someone shouted 'That's Righteous Brotherr!' At the end in appreciation. They liked it so much they adopted it as a name Fun fact : Bill Medley (deep voice) later went in to record theme tune to hit film 'Dirty Dancing' with Jennifer Warnes

Bobby Hatfield was a natural counter-tenor and had a 4 1/2 octave range. Only around 1% of natural first tenors even have the capability to get to those notes. He's basically a unicorn.

1964/65 walking thru my dorm half the radios I heard were playing the Righteous Bros.

Great reaction! Bill Medley still does shows. I'd love to see him before he retires.

Great Song!!!! Was a girl when this came out & Star Trek! Adored them both!! Actually thought Bill Medley was Mr. Spock at the time & asked my parents why he wasn't playing his "guitar" aka Vulcan lute! Of course, they explained & I loved them more as the years went by!

Soul and Inspiration You'll Never Walk Alone Summertime ( Bobby solo) I just want to Make Love (Bill solo) You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was the most played song of the 20th century. It was used in many movies. Top Gun for one example.

Here's something you probably didn't know. These brothers opened for the Beatles on their first American tour, but after a short time because of the crazy girls going nuts, they stopped. Then for another kicker, they were the opening band for the "Rolling Stones" on their first American tour. Yes they were terrific back in those days, and You Lost that Loving feeling is the most played song in the history of music.

You should listen to Bobby Hatfield singing "Summertime" or the two of them singing "You'll never walk alone." They had a lot of hits in the 60s and early 70s and they're all worth listening to. Amazing voices.
