Still had it goin' on ten years later. RIP Bobby Hatfield you are missed. You and Bill left us a beautiful legacy for the era we boomers grew up in.

Er musste.doch aber wissen, dass ihn Drogen auf Dauer umbringen. Was stimmte denn nichr? Wer so etwas regelmässig nimmt, hat doch grosse Probleme. Es ist erwiesen, dass die Drogen bzw. dessen Auswirkungen, ihn getötet haben.😢😢😢😢

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Live, no autotune, no games, just vocal skill of a very, very high calibur. As a singer myself, they set the bar very high.

[@gingercarco]

How could you not love and adore them! Bobby and Bill Forever will be Loved!!! 💙💙🎤🎤🎼🎼🎧🎧😘😘

Yes, they will.❤❤❤

The greatest duo that was ever born : The Righteous Brothers !!!!!

They were damn good but Everly Brothers were really good an had more hits

They should never have split. After those golden 4 years they never had good producers. No mater how good Bobby’s songs were some had never be released

[@teresadavilasoares6136]

😜 The Everlys wish to have voices like Bobby’s or Bill’s

[@rslitman]

Not just a Medley but a Hatfield.

[@SeahorsesJay]

A Medfield... or a Hatley

[@nzarinaali9801]

Bobby hatfield is soooo cute, beautiful voice too!

[@IsaacNussbaum]

They are good as soloists, yes. But when the Righteous Brothers sing together, their blended voices give me goosebumps.

[@selene7726]

Bobby Hatfield's voice always gives me goosebumps, solo or together. Magical! 💜

[@LaurelT1948]

Bill Medley has the sexiest voice on the planet!

[@Tipperary757]

Both had such incredible voices. The blend is breathtaking.

[@marebear4610]

Oh my - the sideburns and leisure suit-like outfits! Well, that was fashion in the early 70s for you! 🤣 They both still looked and sounded good! 😍Thanks for posting!

[@u4riahsc]

My mom told me back then that we would laugh someday at how we looked. Once again, she was right.

[@barbaral8973]

Nothing wrong with the styles if you ask me. There's a time for everything and fashion evolves as we mature along. Plus, my babe and I looked so cool when we stepped out. :)

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Those are Nudie suits.

[@lindavarbero3791]

They are a joy to my ears... we don't have music 🎶 like this anymore where you can understand the words... Many tried to do a rendition of Bobby's song 🎵 Unchained Melody but he truly owns it ... RIP ❤ 🙏 Bobby and Bill killed it when he and Jennifer Warren sang " I Had the Time ⏲ of My Live"... hats 👒 off to The Righteous Brothers ...

[@barbararupert4774]

OMG what beautiful harmony!!!

[@kandylangford5886]

Ain't no current artists who could ever make chills run up my spine like the Righteous Brothers when I was 17...

[@chromeloversupplied585]

Are those Angel wings on Bobby's suit? If they are, it is so fitting. I believe God needed a ever so beautiful voice in Heaven to sing among the Angels. RIP Bobby.

[@utatriebel2211]

Er hätte aber so alt werden können wie Bill heute ist 😢😢😢😢 aber er entschied sich für das Kokain. Es ist erwiesen, dass er an dessen Folgen verstarb. Es dauert ja lange bis so etwas die Herzkranzgefässe verstopft. Was hatte er nur für Probleme, dass er das Zeug nahm? Nicht mal Bill wusste davon, sagte er.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

oh, just stop it. His coronary issues were the result of genetics and/or diet. Nothing more, just like every middle-aged guy who needs bypass surgery.

[@judislater2933]

Omg what a duo..... Love love love them so much. Now this is Music.....What a legacy they have left

[@sandraatkins2539]

Bill Medley was sooo handsome and his voice was utterly divine.

[@lorenavanleuven4733]

Don't you know they just love what they do

[@debrawucik826]

Yep, they looked 70s, but their sound is beautiful and unbeatable!

[@tanyaphillips4518]

The Dynamic Duo!!! Most couples, groups or what have you have to watch one another for beat, tempo etc. But thoughout the years I've always admired how these two don't have to do that!!! Such consummate professionals!! They were, are & always will be the most Righteous Brothers Iice ever known!!! ❤️🌹😍🥰❤️🌹💐🙏💐❤️🌹😍🥰

[@richardaustin5339]

I saw the righteous Brothers in Redondo Beach by the pier in 1964 and everyone was dancing to the music!

[@patortz4531]

Captivating, mesmerizing, amazing voices and looks!!!!!!

[@maggygentry154]

Remember before their big break they sang at union hall in Pico Rivera C for four hours and it only cost a quarter. They will always be the best duo

[@marymichael1211]

Lucky You!

The best know one was ever better. Think of anyone to come near to them they were one of a kind.dont know of anyone better my all time favorite👍👍❤️❤️

[@u4riahsc]

Love how the walked down the steps just like the original song singing “Bring Back That Loving Feeling.”

[@panatypical]

There actually used to be an era of quality television programming. Here is an example of it!

[@trollin47]

Outstanding duo. Got to enjoy their music in person at The Hop, Fountain Valley, Ca. and enjoyed their 25th anniversary at the Riverside Casino, Laughlin, NV. I bought one of their T-shirts, sitting in the front row, Mr. Medley asked me to throw it up, he wiped his brow tossing it back. Several,years and many concerts later, Mr. Medley personally signed this shirt, never been worn or washed. I was at their last concert in San Diego, Ca., and not too long after Bobby passed away. God Bless you both. A duo I hold deep within my heart. Thanks, Bill & Bobby for so many great memories, Jack Davis, Huntington Beach, Ca.

[@Buickrita]

+J Davis I am Bobby's Cuz. My car club and myself did the grand opening in Fountain Valley for them, What a night that was. Thank-You for the kind words.

[@draskill1]

Amongst the all time greats

[@KENZOWAL]

I have just loved these guys since I heard Little Latin Lupe Lu after migrating to southern California at age 10 -- and began learning to appreciate Latinas. As the Motown tag line then said 'The Sound of Young America' the Righteous Brothers fit that description to a T. As a duo, solo, or producing (Medley) they've never been equaled. When bending at the knees and reaching for his best baritone, you know Medley is about to turn up the voltage and blow you away. When Hatfield starts into a magnificent tremolo, you know he's going to grab you right in the gut and give it a firm twist (Ebb Tide, Unchained Melody). To its credit, The Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame finally inducted them in 2003. Finally.

[@maisielee5147]

A sweet moment in time ❤.

[@anthonywilliams5146]

ive loved them all my days i grew up with them rip bobby love ya, anthony

[@leftie4822]

I was a teenager when they started out and even now I love long hair on a man. The suits they are wearing look more like country style to me. Bobby Hatfield is a man I would.....

[@CamillusFly]

I know what ya mean. Yeah....

[@pattyraineyjunkins]

Oh my!!! The clothes and hairstyles!!! I prefer the slicked back short hair and dress suits. Slicked back shorter hair shows the handsomeness of a guy's face. Their songs are the best, and would be big hits today.

[@ancamg]

Me too! They were so hot in those dress suits. I hate that hair in men.

Awesome - nice to start with the REAL early stuff!! Very fortunate to have seen them in the early 80s - even though my girlfriend broke up with me after the show. Clearly she had "lost that loving feeling".

[@tomoconnor7229]

not even lip synching!! Great medley

[@IsaacNussbaum]

Bill Medley and I were born on the same day, September 19, 1940. That makes us both 83 years old as of today, July 1, 2024.

[@StarWarsOwen]

you are a legend and congrats on your good health. bobby is the best singer to ever live, and he is deeply appreciated even by my generation (born in 1999 here). very sad he would easily still be alive today if he had taken care of himself!

[@judytickle6587]

True 70's fashion

[@GillianWard-e1g]

Besides the glorious singing, Bobby just oozes rhythm !🕺

[@gregautryphoto]

Great sound quality, they are def more polished than when they forst appeared on shindig. I love those early years. Latin Lupe Lu, Koko Joe, Dinah's.....

[@Elisa-ul2we]

No sound like theirs, completely unmistakable! Their talent is a rare gift they shared with their fans and after all these years it still brings joy and pleasure to fans who weren't even born when they started out. Love both of them so much but Bobby touches us with his amazing, heavenly vocals in a way it's hard to put into words. Thank you both for the music and the unforgettable memories.

[@davidchavers5881]

The white Sam and Dave! Solid gold rock & soul.

It took a while until country musicians warmed up to these dress and hair styles, and they wore them still when fashion changed again.

[@Pronzini1]

Bill's deep baritone is just so appealing

[@squitzy]

As ever, they were brilliant on this show singing live but they looked a heck of a lot better (and classier) in proper suits and shorter hair on Shindig.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

squitzy I agree, but you gotta consider the time. Any tv was better than no tv. Music tastes were changing anyway. I’ll take the old brothers.

[@GeorgeSwift-qj1ik]

Funny from seeing them in 64/65 with real hair cuts.😮

[@keithcrook4268]

Wasn't it early 74 that is doctor say is vocal cords gone he should have rested it a year to get it back to way it was his baritone as gone at seems strained

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

His manager encouraged him to talk to Bobby about getting back together in 1974. Doing 3 solo shows a day was really rough on his voice. By 1976, he had blown out his vocal chords and truly couldn't sing. Doctors told him there was no hope of getting his voice back. However, he ran into his old high school choir teacher and worked with him doing 2 lessons a day for around 2 years. A real tragedy occurred in January of 1976 when his ex-wife was murdered and he was left to care for his son alone.

[@zanhar7688]

Yes … it was ‘74 Bill lost his voice and one of the reasons they got back together… so Bill didn’t put as much strain on it. It was many years before he could sing full voice again. In ‘76 Bill’s ex was murdered and he retired to become a single dad to their son, Darrin.

[@gdb86cs]

Not Bill’s best performance. He screwed up a few times.

[@chuckgatza8735]

It was about 10 years after they met (and left) Spector. They were with him less than two years…

[@barbaral8973]

Well just follow Phil Spector's hairstyles....

But it was Spector who rocketed them 🎉 and after they left him never had big sucess due to poor producers
