Bobby Hatfield, Bob Gulley, & Bobby Cruz at The Hop

I always thought Bobby was not meant to be backup. His talent was immeasurable. RIP Bobby Hatfield you are missed.

Always joking around :) Bobby Hatfield...what a music legend! Just love his voice.

Bobby Hatfield. He'll be remembered forever for Unchained Melody. Bill and Bobby, The Righteous Brothers, got a lot of soul. None better.

Big fan of Bobbie Hatfield. I’ve listened to Unchained Melody he sang solo in 1963 it seems like hundreds of times. However, it looks like he doesn’t have the range anymore. I don’t know if that happens with age or what.

[@janetgallo5720]

Bobby Hatfield had total breath control it was amazing

[@stwads]

Bobby was a class act! A wonderful singer!

[@GroovinOn]

You got that right, on both accounts!

[@lynw1623]

What a talent Bobby Hatfield, so sad he’s gone.

[@debrawucik826]

Loved watching Bobby being silly🥰

[@GroovinOn]

Bobby was one of the funniest people I've ever known!

Any video with Bobby Hatfield in it makes me over the moon happy! Thank you!

I just remembered that Hatfield died. What a great talent. Thank God he was recorded; what a gift he shared. Have you ever stopped to think that for every Bobby Hatfield or Bill Medley, there are literally thousands of men and women with a similar talent, who never make it big and who never got "known"? Years ago, at a long-gone Blues club in Quincy MA (trust me, Joe knew his blues and the YardRock had it) I heard a young woman on amateur night. She was about to leave to go to nursing school out of state. She and five or six friends were there. Her friends got her pretty tanked and practically dragged her on stage to sing. And she sounded _exactly_ like Janis Joplin, even as lubricated as she was; she did three or four songs and was fanatstically good. But nursing was what she felt was her calling. She was as powefrul as Janis was too, she floored everyone. Maybe she didn't like being on stage? Who knows. But that was in the 1990s, and I have often thought of that night. What a gift.

I always regret not seeing them at The Hop less than a mile from my house in Fountain Valley...............

[@debrawucik826]

I absolutely love this, he could sing it all!

[@EmmaGS]

Proof that Bobby did not need Bill.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Thanks for this video.

[@creinicke1000]

[@ljmcaboy]

I remember that show - what a fantastic evening!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for posting Pat 😊

[@matthewpaul1111]

Can you tell me what year this show was?

[@GroovinOn]

I'm not absolutely sure, but my best guess is the late '80's..

[@marisolcormier9738]

Oh! WoW! I love that ! What a beautiful Christmas present! Thank you very much !! It's happiness ♥ ️🤍💚

[@sheriblueeyes]

love, love, love! Thanks Pat :)

[@nancytague9392]

Thank you.

[@ding174]

Fantastic

I heard Bob Gulley sing at the Hop in Lakewood back in the 80's. He sang Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by the Platters. He is one of the best singers I have ever heard and I've been singing for 32 years. Loved his voice. I wanted to take lessons from him, but he said he didn't teach voice, and that he taught himself. So, that's what I did. Love him.

[@GroovinOn]

I fully agree about Bob's voice. You'll find quite a few videos with Bob in Hop Shows, with Bill Medley, and in The Youngmen on my KZbin Channel. Here's one with him in a parking garage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWfFqImed79sbc0 Enjoy.

[@GillianWard-e1g]

How does it seem he's singing just to you? Can I say that I think he is one of the sexiest guys ever. ❤

[@celialopes1692]

Amo bobby.

[@sherylcarol2816]

Ssso cute!

[@janethartleben7179]

A new one!!

[@normanriggs848]

Bobby Hatfield died from heart failure caused by cocaine. What a waste of such a talent. Such a human being. They were the best of the best!

[@nextbreathdotorg]

No, the autopsy said he had advanced cardiovascular blockage and the cocaine he took that night was not the underlying cause per se.

[@normanriggs848]

Thak you@@nextbreathdotorg
