on his best day, Elvis couldn't come close to Bobby. no one coùld!

This was THE most requested song on radio on the 20th century. Mini fact - one of the support singers is a young Cher.

In fact, You've lost that lovin feeling is the most requested and played song of the 20th century.

No matter how many times I hear this song, I still get goosebumps every time!

Kudos for being honest about knowing the song. Of course, you know that song. Great reaction!

Blue-eyed soul! Love Bill and Bobby!

Glad the younger generation is discovering the Righteous Brothers. Raw talent .

Oh yes, the HarriBest standing ovation indeed. These two were so talented and their voices were such a contrast to one another and yet blended so beautifully.

Fun fact this song has. been played on the radio more than any song in history

I read somewhere that A Whiter Shade of Pale was the most played

I've watched this and Unchained Melody tonnes of times and never fails to amaze me. Best Male voices ever!

The Spector wall of sound and two of the most soulful voices ever. The lyrics are moving and the delivery brings you to your knees. 20th century magic😎

Bobby’s singing always touched our hearts and spirits . The two together turned our legs to jelly" . 8:19 listen to Bring it on home to me . Bobby did not sing falsetto . The Bee Gees did. , A beautiful song titled: Don’t close your eyes (sort of Country)

I loved your standing ovation to these guys.

One of my favorite songs of all time!!!

This song was played more than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has ever surpassed their record.Bobby the tenor and Bill Melody the baritone voice. They shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic. This was live no do overs like today.

Blue eyed soul!

Aside from the treasure this song is for my 62 year old ass, absolutely love your eloquent and heartfelt commentary and you have my vote for best commentaru. I would also vote for you to unscrew our current Country's division. Signed, right of center former Marine. Keep bringing back romance in music. That will change our knuckleheads.

Harri you are the best.

Bill and Bobby should have been the very first inductees into the Hall of Fame, simply because of 'Lovin' Feelin' and Unchained Melody. All of their work was worthy of that honor. Most everyone else is incidental.

Always enjoy your reactions and comments.I was 9 years old when they played on TV. Nine months later I had a little sister.The orchestra was wonderful.Thank you.

Simply Iconic and Timeless!!!

Welcome to Blue eyed soul. I got to see them in mid 80's on Long Island

Thank you for keeping our music alive

My absolute favorite song and performance from the 1960s!!! One of those few songs which remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I heard it on the radio. Love, love, love this!

Many of us have been here before. Seeing a love drifting away. Nothing you can do to make her love you again.

Cher was one of the backup singers , crazy Phil Spectors wall of sound .

Two other great songs by them: "Unchained Melody" and "Soul and Inspiration". And for an intensely soulful Mississippi Delta Blues type song, try listening and reacting to "I Just Want to Make Love To You" by the Righteous Brothers!

These guys were awesome! I was in high school when they came out. Their voices were incredible!!!

Thank You

Most played and requested song of the 20th century. Truth.

Love this song. Remember rushing from my primary school to buy the single for 99 cents and running into my sixth grade teacher, whom I had a crush on. She asked me where I was running to and I told her, I was going to buy "You've Lost that Loving Feeling," and she just smiled and shook her head...

Most played song in 20th century on radio and TV

This is such an iconic vid, the silhouettes, fuzzy black and white, the angel choir in the background, the wall of sound, when Bobby finally stands up, you feel he's metaphorically throwing a cig away and putting a can down :D I like the end call and response when they're really rocking out, before Spector got ahold of them, put them in tuxes, the were rockers! Justine for instance. They're Thunder and Silk. Try Soul and Inspiration, that'll knock your socks off!

You recognized the Spector "wall of sound". When the Righteous Brothers split with Spector, they had a hit with '(You're My) Soul and Inspiration'. on which they replicated the "wall of sound" sound.

Even the music sounds divine man!

If you've ever heard the song "I've Had The Time Of My Life" (often played at weddings) then you've heard one of the Righteous Brothers (Bill Medley.....with the deep voice) previously also as he is the male vocalist on the song.

I know that song..From the dirty dancing movie

I'm so happy that you do know it - it all comes back.

I love these guys!! 😊

In the background music, from the very beginning, you can definitely hear Phil Spector's influence, a building WALL OF SOUND instrumentally plus the two very strong voices.

“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. 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 LOVE YOUR SCREEN SET UP !!! BEING ABEL TO SEE YOU AND THE SINGER'S !!!

❤Classic song

Good luck with your channel , we are one with the love of Jesus!!

Have you done unchained melody yet? These guys are amazing!!! They were performing and some marines were in on leave and kept telling them they were righteous and they adopted the name 🖖🏻🇨🇦💥🥰

You seem quite happy with this tune. Glad you have good memories. I’d love to hear your favorite African, Latin, Indian music. Got any ethnic jazz takes? Thanks, man. ✌️

A Classic track from the film Top Gun. Epic vintage style music. I really wish people made amazing songs like this these days. Kickass video HarriBest. You the man bro............

His eyes must, also, be open to see her eyes are open ??? Some of the best kisses I ever had were eyes open. That can often be an intermingling of the two souls and the kiss is 10 times more sensational.

Thought it was ok when popular. Now, it makes me cry! Check out 'You're No Good' by Linda Ronstadt. When it turns instrumental, really neat!!

Yes, that's definitely Phil Spector 'Wall of Sound' you're hearing there. Phil BTW died just last week at age 81. He was a convicted murderer and sadly spent his last days in prison. For decades BMI rated this song the most played song on American radio in the 20th century. It came in at #34 in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the greatest songs of all time. And In 2015 it was inducted into the US Library of Congress for its "historic and cultural significance." The word classic almost fails to express the significance of this song.

Excellent review!

Harris, I enjoy your reactions so much. Today I listened again to your reaction to Loving Feeling. But I must say one thing. Those high notes were not falsetto. Bobby was a rare "counter-tenor." A voice that could go from Baritone to G5or higher. You can see it in the effortless performances. Especially with "Unchained Melody." No strain, facial features totally relaxed. He was simply the best of the best.

Thank you Harri! Your reactions and insights are pure. You got chills again right?

Here's another that's a must hear because of the harmony. This cut was is a doo wop from the pre-Righteous Brothers days when Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were members of the group The Paramours. I Need A Girl: by The Paramours featuring Bobby Hatfield kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5x72cqeYanUk7A.html With Bobby Hatfield singing the lead, you can hear the baritone-bass voice of Bill Medley in the background. I think Bill Medley wrote and/or produced this song, Both of them would have been about 21 or 22 years old when they recorded this song with The Paramours.

If you saw the movie "Top Gun," you heard it.. but it was the most played song on radio and TV. in the 20th century, over 8 million plays and combined over 13 million into 21st century according to BMI. Harri, your reactions are so great! you really appreciate real unadulterated talent. Miss Bobby so much! did you know that Bill is still touring. He's 81 years old. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil were the best husband/ wife duo ever. They wrote both "Lovin' Feeling and Soul and Inspiration. and Brown eyed Woman for Bill, because he had been in love with Darlene Love of The Blossoms. Specter didn't do the Wall of Sound for "Soul and Inspiration." Bill recreated it and did a fantastic job. No one could tell the difference. He also produced "Unchained Melody."

Lol, when a man back in your Dad's day was playing this song every weekend, there was one reason.

Good Morning Harry! *New Subscriber" here! I Appreciated your elegant reaction. Thank You for your intimate insight..See ya soon! 🎧😎

If you haven't already, please do "Unchained Melody" from the Andy Williams show. Bobby Hatfield does the definitive version of this song, which has been covered by hundreds of artists.

Kuma Senlac, You should listen to The Firm, with Paul Roger's cover this song . It is great.💜

It's not surprising that you heard this song before; it was THE most played song on American radio and television in the 20th century. It was also featured in the movie Top Gun and the TV show Cheers. If you liked this song, please react to Soul and Inspiration; it was written as a follow-up to the success of this song and peaked at #1 in the US for three straight weeks in 1966.

You are correct about Spectre, on another note do you play bass?

the lyrics to that song was used in Top Gun but the actors were singing it.

It's in Top Gun. Tom Cruise sings it in the bar to try to pick up Kelly McGuiness. The next day he finds out she's the instructor.

You may find this tidbit interesting. You may realize that some people have a special anointing and everything they touch sort of turned to gold. John Wimber was the person who put the righteous brothers together and he was also a drummer he later became a Christian and started the Vineyard Church which changed the way most churches around the world worship with contemporary worship. No church had done that especially especially with Drums! His testimony is quite amazing and on KZread as well. The Vineyard Movement was a great movement of The Holy Spirit.

Soul inspiration is my favorite
