40 year old black girl here! I grew up off all all music and this was one of my faves❤ Love me some Barbara Streisand, Bee Gees, Beatles, Elvis, Olivia Newton John and ETC!!! Music lights the soul❤❤❤❤

I love that this reaction is exactly how the Righteous Brothers got their name. 60 years later, and they still have the same effect on people.

The year was 1974. My wife told me she no longer loved me and wanted a divorce as she had met the man of her dreams and it wasn't me. She filed for a divorce and I moved out of our home and into a little efficiency apartment. Several weeks later I discovered two things. One, I loved her more than I thought possible, and two I discovered the power of words in a song. You've Lost That Lovin Feeling was being played on the radio and I had never really listened to the words before, but I did that evening. I cried myself to sleep that night and many many more nights. That was 50 years ago and this song still brings tears to my eyes. If only she would have known how much I loved her,.........

Not only was there no auto-tune, but many of these performances were done LIVE back then. You could not screw up, period.

When the Living God of all Creation handed out soul he didn’t just bless black people, he blessed white folks, brown folks, Asians, Pacific Islanders, etc!! Soul is something that comes from the heart!!

They got their name "The Righteous Brothers" from black Marines from the El Toro Marine base who used to visit the local Los Angeles night clubs. When they saw the RB perform, they loved their sound so much they started calling them righteous brothers. At the end of one performance a black Marine stood up and shouted, "that was righteous, brothers". And the name stuck.

@Aurora-tp3dy

Жыл бұрын

Actually, the club and the base were in Orange county, not Los Angeles. Calling them righteous brothers wasn't a one-time event; it was an ongoing thing. The played at that club for several months. They needed a name when recording "Little Latin Lupe Lu" as a duo (without the rest of the of The Paramours). They had to put a name on the record so Bobby suggested they use the name the marines were calling them. Edited to add the name of the club. It was John's Black Derby in Santa Ana.

Hey Guys! you mention the Ruffins, I knew Jimmy and David Ruffin. I have met and jammed with Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. I was born and raised in Detroit. I was always a really good drummer and percussionist. I have jammed and worked with hall of famers. The Righteous Bros have that MOTOWN sound for sure. I was born in 1950 guys. I feel 30 in my mind but somebody went and put mirrors in my house so I scare myself back to reality. We listened to AM Radio, no calculators, no color television, no internet. We played music and were awesome musicians honing our craft. I had a '63 split window corvette, a good job, and owned 2 homes by the time I was 28. $$ went farther. There are thousands of great musicians you never heard of that are 10x better than most today. No auto tunes, no lighting or special effects to be proud of BUT WE had great fun. Riding bikes in our pre teen years, no gangs or fear of violence. I saved my money from working at the corner store. This was before the fast food craze. You could send your kid to the store with a couple dollars and not worry about them. It was simpler, sweeter, and a more wonderful time that I wish we could get back in the USA today and for our children.

Righteous Brothers are a dying breed of musicians. Harmony & range like no other.

Every woman wants to be loved like the way they sing...sigh. Not just a quick tumble in the sheets, but a love that connects 2 people for decades and decades. Have always loved this song. Glad to see young men hearing it and appreciating the huge talent of the RB!😊💖

“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 an 73 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 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. Often referred to as "Blue Eyed Soul' 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......

No more music like that anymore. Definitely gives me way more appreciation of my grandparents era. That music is amazing.

I'm an 80 y/o white male. I grew up in Anaheim, California. Hatfield attended Anaheim High School, where he was student body president. My sister-in-law and brother were fellow students of Hatfield. They say he was smart, friendly and popular. He was also a little clowish and prone to breaking into song, high-pitched, loud and not always at appropriate times. When the Righteous Brothers duo came to be and started showing up on the charts in the early/mid 60's, I had all the pre-sets on my little 6 transistor radio set to the 4 AM radio stations most likely to play the Brother's current hits. These guys were the only white artists I liked at the time. No 'Rock Around The Clock' for me. At age 10 (yeah, really) I became and still are, an incurable black 'R and B' fan. When Medley formed his new duo, after Bobby's passing I tried to like them, but.... However, when Chris Stapleton hit the music scene, he and the Righteous Brothers, along with many black R and B artists and traditional black regae dominated my Spotify faves. Blue-eyed soul works for me. Thank the heavens for modern electronic technology that allows us to enjoy all the fantastict music regardless of which side of the dirt the artist is on.

You have to hear "Summertime" a live solo performance in 1965 by Bobby Hatfield ( one of the brothers). He will blow your mind with his soulful vocals. The term blue eyed soul was founded because of them by a black DJ who used that term to let his listeners know that they were white.

I really think that any woman in the world who had this song sung to her personally, would bring back the loving feeling before the song even ended....thank you for reacting to this. It's a beautiful song, so romantic. Their voices are phenomenal. I enjoy you all so very much

It was the music in the 60s and the 70s that brought us all together. If The Righteous Brothers aren't proof, I don't know what is. We all went to hear the same music at the same venues at the same time. Close your eyes, can you see it? What about a concert with any of the Motown groups? They were half and half, and everyone got along like that was the way it had always been and the way it way supposed to be. Yes, there were really bad problems going on. I lived through those. Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, all the major cities were almost burned to the ground. All the major cities erupted in flames, but that didn't go on forever. It ended, and when it ended, all of us kids danced. We danced, damn it. We danced (with some interruption for the hippies) all the way through until the end of disco. I was there, I saw it all. I don't know what happened in the 80s, but everything changed. I actually met a man I could live in the same house with, got married, and had my only child, so I stopped my active night life. All I know is rap music came and crack came, and before I knew it, our two races were at each other's throats. Our cultures were just too different to talk anymore, I guess. I wish it had never happened, but you guys give me hope that maybe we can find each other again. Peace ✌️

This was not taped, they preformed live. In fact, Cher is one of the background singers.

Bobby and Bill have blue eyes. A Philly DJ started calling them his blue-eyed soul brothers after meeting them. That's where the term came from.

No auto tune no computer manipulation just straight up singin.

Bill Medley the tall guy is 82 and still touring with another singer and he still sounds great.

They are not biological brothers, they are a team put together because of their unique voice combination.

Great music is great music. Doesn't matter how old. This is the most played song in radio history.

Maverick & Goose forever.

As so many here have said before, it does this old man's heart good to see great music bridge the gap between races and generations. Great music like this touches the hearts of souls of all human beings who will open their hearts and souls and allow their spirits to be touched like this. Praying that we all can come together and defeat those who desire to drive us apart!

Breaking hearts for damn near 60 years. That, neighbors, is greatness.

Blue eyed soul

yes. blue eyed soul.🥰

These guys met in Vietnam they were in two different companies and one guy said hey man I got a guy singing in my company can sing better than you and the other guy said no you can't and they met up and this is how it worked one of the few good things that came out of Vietnam war

I grew up when they were the thing, muscle cars, vietnam, but the music was something else. Greatest time ever to be alive.

Hey. Ol’ white lady here. I don’t remember the first time I heard this. But, I can feel it again watching you guys hear it for the first time. My heart is just bursting right now.❤

I’m an old white guy. Grew up with the Righteous Brothers and so many other soulful talents. Great times back then. Love your videos guys, keep exploring

Not a dvd on a thing. It was a vinyl record on a record player. The best music in my lifetime was the 60s!!! "Music" and groups today will never be in the same class as anything from the 60s. Groups from that era experimented with all kinds of instruments, styles, sounds. They didnt have to be vulgar, or disgusting to sell their music. Pure joy, pure music!!!

I was born in the 70's and I love the Righteous Brothers.

This my friends is what you call "Blue Eyed Soul"... No autotune. Just pure, authentic talent.

Two of the finest male voices to ever grace modern music. Thanks for your reaction.

I'm 60. This is what parent's listened to and I love it still

We say in Memphis,” it ain’t white or black it’s the blues”!!!

You know it’s good when the guy in green starts to react

Bill Medly ( the guy on the right)also sang the lead song from Dirty Dancing. I’ve had the time of my life with Jennifer Warne. You had to really be good back in the day. I happy to have grown up with the music. Real voices real bands. Glad you guys liked it!

Thanks for hosting the best blue eyed soul ever produced. You guys, class act....

My thing is... everyone can sing with Soul.... it's not a skin color. It's how ur raised and what u feel in your soul.

This was the most played song of the 20th century. They called it blue eyed soul.

You young men are adorable. This music was from my time. I'm old but still enjoy all music.

"This Teddy Pendergrass" 😂 "It's like fire and ice" so accurate

FYI, David Ruffin is from Whynot, Mississippi. He's a legend. Here at home and everywhere.

100 years from now this song will still be a banger or whatever they call it at that time

As a child in the 60's my mother would say don't dare touch that Radio. She loves the Righteous Brothers. She also loved Unchained Melody.

I hear David Ruffin’s voice from the Temptations in the lead singer’s voice!😁 But I have another brother for you to listen to as well! His name is David Phelps singing “It Is Well” with Guy Penrod; And to David Phelps as he sing his part in “Let Freedom Ring” and “It Is Finished” via the Gaither Vocal Band! Also, listen to David Phelps singing other songs with them! GOD Bless!🙌🏽🤗💝😇
