Listen to the group named Home Free. A good song is Man of Constant Sorrow. Or maybe Ring of Fire. They are on KZread and there are many, many reaction videos.
This is absolutely the best version of this song. No one, I repeat NO ONE has ever surpassed this version. He was singing LIVE. His mother was in the audience and he wanted to sing his very best for her. Unfortunately, Bobby Hatfield left us 20 years ago. If you have ever seen the movie "Ghost" this was the music for one famous scene.

Indeed, it is very different from the original, first heard in a 1955 movie. It’s a prisoner’s song. The inmate dreams of reuniting with his beloved (‘Are you still mine?’, ‘wait for me, wait for me’, etc). It’s a nostalgic ballad. Bobby Hatfield reworked the music into something songful and turned the song into an hymn to yearning love. There have been hundreds of versions. Bobby’s the most famous and a milestone in pop music. Being classically trained he was able to wring every drop of verbal and vocal eloquence from the music and lyrics .@@ragulper

Amen. That’s an amazing song. All the feels with that one.
Bill Medley--the one NOT singing in this performance--is also a phenomenal vocalist. His natural register is lower than that of Bobby Hatfield. To hear what they can do as a duet, I recommend "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."
BOBBY HATFIELD was something SPECIAL. His voice range was nearly INHUMAN. His voice is so mesmerizing.....you just get swept away......you get lost in it. I love BOBBY.
This song was written in 1955 for a movie called "Unchained". Hundreds of artists have recorded this song. NOBODY does it like Bobby Hatfield. This will forever be HIS song. Bobby passed away in 2003. Bill Medley is still living. He will be 84 this year. Live performance. No auto tunes. One take and his parents were in the audience. No pressure there. This is how entertainers dressed way back when. I was lucky to grow up with the music of the 1950s and 1960s.

The full length movie is available on KZread (though I haven't watched more than a few minutes of it). It was a little known black and white movie about a man in prison and the song is him hoping that his love waits for him.
And just like that, every girl & woman in the '60's fell in love. ;)
The GOAT!! No one sang this song better than Bobby Hatfield.
The effortless power the Righteous Brothers had in their voices was amazing
His voice and vocal range WAS amazing! !960s technology audio system and microphone, no autotune or other modern assists, nothing but Bobby Hatfield's talent.
it's kind of insane a man can just go out and calmly sing the greatest song every recorded. just an average Tuesday singing the best song in the world. do it live , one take. humbling.

@@carolburnett190 I find it hard to compare them because of the different number of voices. It seems they should be measured in different categories altogether. Like a soloist couldn't be compared to an orchestra.
I grew up to this music. They were called Blue Eyed Soul and every colour woman loved them. Bill is just as good but in a lower range. Listen to You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling and hear them both. Over 670 artists world wide recorded this song including Elvis. It will always belong to Bobby, no one has ever come close to his version. Over the years it has been used in many movies. Another I love that they did together is You’ll Never Walk Alone. They were amazing and now only Bill is living but their music is timeless. Thank you.
Just because someone has a sense of humour, doesn't mean they can't have talent.
You're wrong about Bill Medley "not being much". The two gentlemen sang both together and some songs as individuals. It depended on the song. To hear them together listen to You've Lost That Lovin Feeling. Bill voice is the main focus of that one but Bobby does join in. You won't be disappointed. Both were very talented and no autotune in those days.
This was back when HWood and the media in general supported good things. There is still hope, my friends. We can stand united for decency once again.
I remember actually getting weak when I heard this as a young girl. I wasn't the only one, either! This is where the term "blue-eyed soul" came from, as well. ❤
Highly recommend you look up Linda Ronstadt on Wikipedia, and check out who she is, and what she’s done as a singer. She sang rock, pop, country, folk, punk/new wave, light opera, old standards, even Latin/Mariachi! She did it all. Her voice was really something special.

He's the only one who has EVER sung this so beautifully. No one has ever come close to his voice. This song is played in the movie Ghost. A touching scene.
Bobby performed this live in July a month before his 25th birthday. They were one of the best groups ever. The Righteous Brothers ( Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield) were inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame in March 2003. Please react to Bobby's solo "Summertime" it will blow you away.
If you’re gonna do this - you MUST react to the Righteous Brothers doing “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling,” it’s black and white and Cher is one of the background singers. Part of the wall of sound approach of the era.
one of the best songs EVER!!!
You actually need to see…. You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling (1964 version)…. to understand why these two men’s voices meshed together so beautifully.
I'm told that Bobby Hatfield had a cold during this performance. Makes it even more amazing.

BEST SONG EVER❤❤❤❤
Hundreds of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. No auto tune just pure talent. He had a cold, his mother was watching him perform live for the first time and he suffered from stage fright. When he hits the high notes at the end his face does not contort like most singers when they hit a high note. He just smiles as if to say I nailed it.
Linda Ronstadt would be a great artist for you to get into here in your channel. She has a very strong and distinctive voice, and has done many different styles through the 70s and 80s

His little smile at the end of the song was because he knew he aced the performance ( and he had a cold at the time). Pure perfection and timeless
I bet you since 1965 romance was enhanced and true love, marriages happened and possibly another population explosion listening to these beautiful songs that The RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS sang in harmony.
The host, Andy Williams, was a singer in his own right. Most famously know for his lovely rendition of Moon River.
Best version hands down of this classic song. Absolutely loved the Righteous Brothers. Sadly we lost Bobby Hatfield about 20 years ago. He had a beautiful one of a kind voice. Home Free recently did a great version of this song. And Austin Brown also did a very beautiful tribute of this song about a year ago.
Hearing "I don't know anything about" classic pop and rock song, makes me feel every day of my 77 years.😂
Both are phenomenal singers, there are so many good singers that have touched our lives. Ottis Redding, Temptations and so many more .
Bobby was a counter tenor. Most singers have a voice range of 2, maybe 3 octaves. Bobby's voice was capable of 4 octaves which is almost unheard of. Both were greats. Put Bobby's counter tenor alongside Bill's perfect baritone and the sound is unparalleled. Check out them doing, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," and "I Just Wanna Make Love to You." Also, see Bobby doing, "Summertime." Great duo. There'll never be another like them.

I can't prove a thing. I find it so strange that everything we have ever known or ever been told is now changed or called into question. I think Bobby's voice is immaculate and his range seems possibly wider than 4, maybe 5, but to my ear, I do think Steve has a wider range, at minimum 8. I just googled Steve's range and found 4 different answers. I also googled Bobby's range and found 2 different answers. All without leaving the first page. I do not trust much of what I find on the internet. All of the sources are sincere, but they aren't all right, maybe none of them are right.

@@pamelamiller3757 The confusion might be in that Perry wasn't strictly tenor. It said his range extended from tenor into alto. I do know that tenor range is the shortest of all. Some results say 4 octaves. Others say 5. I'm not very familiar with Perry as I was never a fan of Journey. My experience with the Righteous Brothers is better but, not as deep as some others. Ray Charles, Charley Pride, Zeppelin, Nazareth, David Allen Coe, Jim Croce, Alice Cooper to name a few of my old time favorites. Today I listen mostly to Mary Barrett, Keith Green etc. I do still listen alot to Amazulu. But mostly into Christian music now.

When my husband and I were dating, he surprised me with tickets to see the Righteous Brothers on Valentine's Day. When he sang this song, my husband shocked me even further by dancing with me and singing this song to me. It was the first time in the 14 years we had been dating that he had ever danced with me (yes I said 14 yrs. As a matter of fact, we got married after dating for 25 yrs.). To this day, when I hear this song I see his smiling face singing to me and ACTUALLY DANCING WITH ME! My husband passed away from cancer 15 yrs ago but the memories never end. Thank you for bringing back such a very very very special time for me and my husband.
I never get over watching the faces of KZreadrs reacting to this the first time. 🥰 Sheer amazement, every time. It always kills me at the end when he bites his lip and gives that shy smile.

Bobby's beautiful voice touches the heart and soul of men and women 💖. This performance surpassed the studio cut released on the B side of a 45 which Bill produced. DJs played it rather than the A side 'Hung on you' and it charted twice thanks to the movie Ghost. Bobby is one of a kind and left his mark on every piece he did. Check out 'You'll never walk alone' or any duo they did and you will see how Bobby packs a punch each time he sings. RIP Bobby Hatfield 1940-2003 you are missed.
Unchained Melody lyrics. Originally a prisoner’s song, an inmate yearning to reunite with his love: 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? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me
Everyone in that room unknowing witnessed History being made that night for generations to come.
We had real music artists in the 50's and 60's
A perfect moment in time captured on film for people to enjoy for all time. Bobby Hatfield makes you believe there are heavenly choirs. He could be up there right now singing his heart out like this. Righteous Brothers together was meant to be. Like your emotional reaction despite a bit of a language barrier. You really got the feelings Bobby wanted to get across.

Of note is that his mother was in the audience right behind him. 😊

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’.

No autotune, just pure unadulterated talent. Back then we didn't mind if a singer had an off key here and there, it happens. This had NONE. The song turns 59 this year, still a classic appreciated by many.
I might be one of your oldest listeners (I'm 75). I've gotten a lot of pleasure from your videos on many topics. (BTW, I've traveled extensively in Europe - more than 50 times for both business and holiday but, sadly, I've never been to Portugal.) This song came out the summer between my junior and senior year in high school - I was 16). IMO, the video you watched was, possibly, the greatest live performance ever recorded. And yes, it was a consummate love song for all the young (and probably older) ladies of the time.

"Blue-Eyed Soul" An amazing duo. Period Full stop
Here’s your friend, the 81 year-old widow from Northern Idaho. I didn’t realize that you would react to music as well and so I have a suggestion for you my sweet young fella this guy I’m about to tell you about is a KZread superstar he has tons of people who react to him from all over the world, his name is Dan Vasc and he is a metal singer. But his voice is such a phenomenal instrument, he has been formally and operatically trained to use his voice in the most wonderful way but he loves metal music. I never did …I’m too old… But this guy will blow you away. He just dropped a Céline Dion song called “my heart will go on” which was thematic of the movie Titanic and it is one of his most wonderful songs to showcase his talent, and that of his electric guitar player. I don’t know if you would want to review him on your channel but if you are trying to understand and learn about America, this is the dude you need to be listening to with this song, I think somebody said he had over 2 million subscribers. Just go up to your search icon and put in the name Dan Vasc and let the magic begin.
It was especially emotional for him to sing this because his mother was in the audience. ♥️
Back when music was music and all you seen and heard raw talent, no auto tune or filters. Just him and his natural voice. You don't find this anymore.
Another song that you need to react to by the Righteous Brothers is where they both sing together is "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" 1964. The combination of both their vocals together is epic to say the least. To see and hear how one's vocals compliments the other is truly amazing. I promise you will not be disappointed.
What you have just heard is one of the best love songs ever written. It was first recorded in 1950's for a movie called "Unchained ". Here, the singer did one version but isn't the official one. Nonetheless, this song will be recognized as one of the very best and is still being played today and a timeless classic for many generations to come. Thanks for your reaction.
Thanks, dude.. Bobby here is amazing.. he looks like a "ken doll".. but his voice is golden, his breath control is amazing.. no "auto-tune".. and now straining or screaming.. just beautiful vocal ability.. (I heard he was nervous singing this live, b/c his MOM was in the audience.. I'm sure she was proud!) Thanks for your reaction!

Linda Ronstadt has sang more genres and styles than any other singer I can think of, by far. And she managed to sound great in all of them… Rock, pop, folk, country, blues, new wave, light opera, old standards, even Latin/Mariachi. She was so diverse, she’s amazing!

The Righteous Brothers were popular when I was a teenager (the 60's) and they had many hits together and separately. This singer, Bobby, also did another love song called "Eb Tide" which is also beautiful, but together they were unique. One beautifully high and the other had a deep voice. Loved them.

No back up, no auto tune, just a small mike. Who has such a voice today and is at the top of the charts? Where are the beautiful love songs?
The are not literally brothers. It's their performance name for the duo. The song became a repeat hit when it was used in the film "Ghost" starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopie Goldberg.
“The other brother doesn’t matter”. And now waiting for the reaction to You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling to show Bill very much matters. Individually they were excellent, together they were astronomically talented. And yes this was live, no lip sync, no auto tune, he bites his lip at the end because his Mother was in the audience that night and he was nervous to do well for her.
This was a favourite at ever high school prom ( slow dancing ) at at hundreds of weddings. To hear them both sing listen to their “ You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling “

I'm 44, and I have heard this since I was a child, since it's from the 50s, and every time I do, I get chills. Amazing! By the way, this was written for the boys away at war. I think the U.S./Korean War.

It's from a movie called Unchained from 1955. Guy is in prison, his wife is getting tired of waiting, this song is asking her to wait a little longer. This performance was much better than the original.

Yeah, I wasn't sure. Thanks!
One of the best baby making songs ever. ❤❤❤❤❤
Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. This marvelous song is one of the greatest songs in music history When he teams up with Bill Medley they belt out such great songs as You lost that Loving Feeling Soul and Inspiration, Just once in my Life and more. Bobby did a fantastic job doing Ebb Tide. Best of success on yr channel.
One of the best loved songs in America from the 60's. I was teenager in the 70's and I still love it. Enjoy our music. There is a lot of good music from the 60's and 70's.
Bobby Hatfield owns this song. Many have sung it and they were all beautiful, but no one can do THIS but Bobby Hatfield.❤️🐝🤗
I watched this on live TV with my Mom.
Only a small fraction of all the songs can truly be categorized as Timeless Classics, but this is clearly one of those songs. It plays as well now, almost 60 years later as it did from the beginning. RIP Bobby.
Most singers in the 50s and 60s could hit the highest of notes because of pure raw talent. Modern day not so much as only Mariah Carey can hit those high notes consistently and perfectly. It’s very rare that pure raw talent is seen much today. It’s mostly covered up by background music now not letting it shine like the past.

They started with talent, added a LOT of hard work, hours of rehearsing every day, being critical when listening to their recordings, accepting advice, then working some MORE. Talent is a starting point. It's hard work, attention to detail, and dedication that truly make the great performers. A person with 'talent' but no work ethic ... that's a tragic pairing.

Sorry, but this is just wrong. There are just as many amazing singers today as in the 50s and 60s. I lived through all of this so I have first hand perspective. Christine Aguilera has amazing pipes, so does Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande. Tim Faust can hit 5 octaves. Did you see the range of David Draimon in Sounds of Silence?

That's back when performers could actually sing!!!
You need to check out "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling", also by the Righteous Brothers (others have done it, but there's is the iconic version). You'll get to see the other one with his own incredible voice featured in that one.
Check out both 'brothers' singing the Rogers and Hammerstein hit You'll Never Walk Alone. Bill Medley adds a fantastic baritone voice to the mix.
You will appreciate hearing also Neil Diamond sing “America”. Very moving. The whole country gets involved when this is played.
Blue eyed soul at it's best is how you describe The Righteous Brothers!
Their official release of this song is the most beautiful version of the most beautiful song ever written, in my opinion. This one is very close to it. In fact, I would say they hold position no. 1 & 2. (And my opinion is fact 😁).
