I am also a Boomer and remember so clearly when the Righteous Brother first started performing. We only heard them on the radio at first and assumed they were gentlemen of color. Then, when the world saw them on television and in concert, everyone was amazed, and their music became known as blue eyed soul. We all get the good chills when they would sing. Bob Medley is still living, but Bobby passed way too soon. Never to be forgotten.

No strain, no auto tune, no back up....just a small mike.

The song was written for a 1955 movie about a man in prison. It was a huge hit for the Righteous Brothers in the '60s. 25 years later, Bobby's original recording was used as background music for a love scene in the 1990 movie "Ghost". The audiences loved it and once again it became a hit. Same artist, same recording and it became a hit all over again. The album was rereleased and earned a whole boxful of platinum records. One for every COUNTRY where it sold more than a million copies. The Righteous Brothers talent is timeless.

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.

Thank you so much for explaining that

Notice how Bobby sounds like he's out of breath during that initial interview/talk? He actually did suffer with mild stage fright - until he started singing! No auto tune here - just the true talent of a 3-octave tenor voice with total control/pitch and breath control - smooth! A song that features more of Bill (baritone vocal) listen to "Soul and Inspiration". For the u;ltimate dup & harmony of a baritone and tenor mix, listen to "You've lost that loving feeling". which is also the most requested/played/air time song of the 20th century. Bill wasn't the first to do this song, and it has been done by several since this version, but Bobby (RIP) owns this.

WELL DONE! I believe that's the best reaction of any video, not just this one and I have listened to hundreds of them. Very insightful and spot on. You were listening not only to the singing but to the lyrics as well. I wish other reactors would watch your reaction of this so they can incorporate it in other videos.

No auto tune just pure talent. His mother was in the audience watching him perform live for the first time, he had a cold and he suffered with stage fright. When he gets to the end of the song watch his face as he does not contort it like other singers when he reaches those top notes.

Unchained Melody: Bobby Hatfield live performance. The Andy Williams Show- Episode #4.5 Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965: Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. *In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof." Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

Song lyrics. It’s a prisoner’s song. A Black inmate longs for the end of his sentence and anticipates his reunion with his beloved. In his cell he sings in broken phrases lines of the song, accompanied by a fellow inmate on a guitar. First heard in the 1955 movie ‘Unchained’. Academy Award nomination for best song. Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea, yeah Lonely rivers sigh: "Wait for me, wait for me" I'll be coming home, wait for me Woah, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine?

The Andy Williams TV show and this recorded the first year primetime TV went color in the US. Few had a color TV yet though.... Also the song is a cover of a 1955 song and actually the words are about someone in prison singing about how time passes and thoughts. The name of the movie was - Unchained - and why the song is named as it was. The song did chart in the 50s and of course 60s a #1 and again in 1990 after a key scene featured the song in the movie - Ghost.

This song has history. It was written 10 years before this performance for a little known black and white prison movie titled "Unchained". The song is about a prisoner's hope that his love will wait for him. That's why he sings about time going by so slowly. After the movie, several people covered the song but it remained unknown. Bobby Hatfield (this singer) was the one to make it famous. Others have tried since but his version made it forever his song.

The word is that he had a cold on the night of this performance on the Andy Williams Show, but was singing his heart out because his mother was in the audience and he didn't want to let her down.

The incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Gave what possibly is the greatest (Live) television performance in the history of television (59) years ago back in 1965. The song written by multi award winning music composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret for the (1955) prison movie (Unchained). Became the quintessential version of them all. Every singer and every orchestra have used this arrangement by the NBC Studio Orchestra of the Andy Williams Show ever since. With Bobby's epic vocal performance and the great music performance by the NBC Studio Orchestra. Has made this performance of "Unchained Melody" the best version of them all. The rest as they say is history.

Music was music those days, and the singing was incredible, wonder how many could sing live, with no help these days??? not many.

What isn't often mentioned, in this performance, he had a heavy head cold. No such thing as Auto-Tune in those days, this is just pure talent. 💯💕 This song resurfaced in the 1990 movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moor &, Whoopi Goldberg, in the iconic "pottery" scene. Well worth a watch... especially with your girlfriend. LOL

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’.

When you're ready to react to their song "Soul and Inspiration" try to grab the video from the Bob Hope Show because there is a short rendition of the R&B standard "Turn on Your Love Light" immediately after. You will see the RIghteous Brothers in their element. Enjoying your reactions so much.
