How bout them apples? I'm a baby boomer, and Bobby Hatfield had vocals that hadn't been heard of until he sang this in 1965 and have not been heard of since. I loved your response, and thank you for not interrupting it. Belly rubbing music 🎶 🎵. You just have to take it all in. Listen to "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling." With him and Bill Medley, there's no contest. RIP BOBBY!!!!!! We all love you .❤❤❤❤❤❤😎✌️

[@normacraig7894]

I am so glad that you enjoyed this song..And you let it play through..you listened!👏👏👏This guy is great!!

[@mikeharitos1258]

I remember when I saw this live on the Andy Williams Show in ‘65. It just blew me away!! Andy Williams had no words. That’s why all he said was “beautiful “!!

[@patticampana9458]

You've Lost That Loving Feeling is also a marvelous song. Listen to it.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Beautiful beautiful performance. Nice reaction.

[@jamescrane2156]

Journey - Don't Stop Believin' (Live 1981: Escape Tour - 2022 HD Remaster). Steve Perry is one of the greatest rock vocalists.

[@custercrazyhorse8616]

So awesomely cool to see a whole new generation taking a chance on listening to some way back music and melodies. Good music and lyrics transcends all. I was born in 1966.Heard it all my life. Still get goosebumps,but watching the reactions of the people listening for the first time,takes me back.

[@Bearaway]

Thank you for not interrupting this masterful performance. So many others do...

[@tubularap]

Wow !! You were open for it, and you got it. So good you let this song play uninterrupted, and have it touch you as it did. Beautiful reaction !!

[@vallee3140]

so nice to hear it all through

[@marcuswalden1284]

Yes. Great reaction. Similar to all who have heard it since 1965!!

[@dcrot9109]

imagine no auto tune, no crazy dancing, no gimmicks ,,,,,, just pure talent

[@leannehouston2171]

Bobby had so many solos that are wonderful. Here are a few Crying in the Chapel My Prayer Ebb Tide Somewhere

[@Summerbird2024]

This was our wedding song, it still makes me cry with emotion ❤

[@SherryDocchio]

I see that the man, his voice, the song and the delivery has the same effect on you that it had on all of us old birds many years ago. Enjoy the rest of your journey with the Righteous Brothers. They really were the greatest duo ever, in my opinion. Their voices are so amazing, individually and together; at times their harmony was so well blended that you couldn't slice through with a razorblade.

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

The Righteous Brothers transcend generations. And to think that this was a live performance. No post editing. No auto-tune. Just pure talent. If you loved this, I know you're going to love "You've lost that love and feelin".

[@keithrudd8003]

And he had a cold ..

[@sharonpate5481]

This is what we mean when we talk about blue-eyed soul! My favorite song of all time 💜👵🏼✌🏼

[@RosemarySmith1]

I loved watching your smile as you got into the song! :)

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

This is so beautiful, I have never seen a woman who watches this, who didn't fall in love with Bobby, or at least fall in lust.

[@johncrookston6111]

Thank you brother love your reaction Can tell a lot about a person who loves music and is touched by melody

[@CarolineLambert-si6dd]

Pure talent. Explore the era and enjoy. I lived it and didn’t appreciate it at the time. More fool me.

[@rdiehl217]

You have what I call "the Christmas morning face" at 2:39 and I love this. This is one of my favorite songs and I'm happy to see a positive reaction here!!!

[@lindamorrison9755]

A song from my teenage years. So good to see the younger generation enjoying our music. There is a whole lot of wonderful music from the 50"s and ^60's and now days from an acapella group called Home Free that you have to try out. They do a lot of covers but also do song they composed. A good cover is from Boys to men "End of the road and an original is "Playing with Fire" check them out and follow them down the Home Free Rabbit Hole. PS: I'm 75

[@HappinessSparkles]

What pure joy seeing how you appreciate this timeless talent,I’m proud to say I raised my boys to appreciate the music from 60s 70s and beyond ,no matter what the genre You totally get it !

[@pijorroncho]

Realmente una voz celestial

[@Ken-dh2te]

This IS BLUE EYED SOUL... I am 76 and the love of my life & high school sweetheart ,Sharon, and I saw them in 1965 at the Community Concourse in San Diego. They were AMAZING. Full tuxedos & orchestra. There were Black folks there to & we all had a great experience hearing these great voices. I will NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT & Sharon is STILL THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

[@tinadurrell2943]

just amazing thank you so much

[@RussellALeenders]

The way he vantrickulated every fiber of his being through his voice indelling sound waves the very essence of his true feelings of emotion capitalizing on his unfading love with tenderness gives effortless power of electricity which energizes a person to want more and to share in giving the whole world the same endless journey everyone needs to endure Love in TIME,,,, Forever

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’.

[@waynemosca2277]

Nice. And it’s live

[@carolynsteinecke]

Blessings. We thank you for recognizing my favorite version! ❤

Before my time and way before yours.. but this is good music.. end of story.

[@LoveCats9220]

No gadgets or gimmicks or help of any kind. Pure and honest and real talent. So happy you were able to recognize that. Others have tried singing this song, but there is no comparison. Bobby owns this

[@nicholascaltuna9153]

This song comes from a 1955 low budget prison movie believe it or not.

[@lennieblue]

I just subscribed and am enjoying your reactions. Thank you. What a beautiful smile you have. From California USA.

[@TexasGrandma100-je8jc]

This is Grandma from Texas. This is my song to Jesus

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. Bobby owns this song. No auto tunes, just pure raw talent! RIP Bobby. We miss your beautiful voice! 😪❤️

[@denisefuentes7905]

Amen

[@tomheglund6994]

1965 live no auto tune all him you don’t have that kind of music anymore

[@difernandez4899]

Please react to Post Modern Jukebox doing 'Domino' featuring Emmaline; you may need to smoke afterwards....

[@florancechapman6481]

The other guy that sing with him. You should here his voice. He does a solo also.

[@treeoflife6386]

Love your reaction/comments to this amazing, beautiful song sung in its most beautiful rendition by Bobby Hatfield!!

[@pinkpoodle9831]

cant touch Bobby Hatfield such effortless range He can slide that voice from chest to head. unbelievable

[@GillianWard-e1g]

Brautiful reaction - you didn't need to say anything while Bobby was singing - your facial expression said it all. ❤

[@pamstuckey8349]

Very different style but also a voice beyond compare - consider listening to Eva Cassidy RIP sing Over the Rainbow. You will never forget hearing her sing this song

[@rhondalamb7053]

Yes you felt it , please take the time to hear Patsy Cline sweet dreams .Pat Boone Moody River , Roy Orbison many songs to pick from

[@sueshow401]

Well done for listening right through to the end of the song to instill your heartfelt gratitude for both the lyrics and Bobby Hatfield's full textured quality and range of his singing voice!

[@jameslis1008]

I grew up in SoCal during the 60s. They(Righteous Brothers)would perform at the Orange County Fairgrounds during the annual fair. They sounded as good live as they do today on film. My favorites are Little Latin Lupe Lu and You've Lost That Lovin Feeling"

[@virginiawilson2213]

If you love this, check out, Bobby Hatfield’s, summertime and Bill Medleys, I just wanna make love to you. Listen to them both sing, you’ve lost that loving feeling, and you’ll never walk alone. They are all magnificent!

[@donnalucy8172]

Some of these songs are great but we have some of the most amazing songs much better than some of these. I love your reaction. You show your emotions and it’s great.

[@johnnieandtraci]

New sub it's awesome to experience stuff for the first time through your eyes. I'm from the south you might really like a song called ,"Ode to Billy Joe" or "my ding-a-ling"

[@steve8170]

I grew up with the Righteous Brothers & this song is very special indeed.. A great reaction my young brother, I’m so glad you enjoyed this awesome & emotional moment

[@stephencoleman5190]

He was one of the best and if you were moved my him, you might like to listen to Morrissete Amon and her song, Akin kan a lang, or Never enough. Thanks for your reaction.

[@girlinagale]

Your voice is heavenly too, like every living being on this earth.

[@poolhallshark]

Hello again my friend. I have just subscribed to your channel after your reaction to Angelina performing I Put A Spell On You from when she had JUST turned 9 years old. And now that I see that you have reacted to THIS video as well, there is absolutely NO way that I'm not going to tell you that Angelina, too, has covered this song a few times. The last time however, was her most recent performance, from December 11th 2023, when she performed on the Nobel Peace Prize concert here in Norway. The winner of the prize was Narges Mohammadi, an Iranian women's rights activist who has been imprisoned for many years, and haven's seen her son and daughter (17 year old twins) in MANY years. They came to Norway on her mother's behalf, and sat just a few meters away from Angelina when she sang the song. Angelina's biggest inspiration in life is her grandmother. Her name is Mery Zamani, and she is Iranian as well. You can imagine what it meant to Angelina and her family to perform on this event. This also made Angelina the only artist younger than 18 to perform twice on the Nobel Peace Prize concert, the first time was when she was 8. If you want to hear what Angelina sounds like as of right now, this should be your next reaction. She was 30 days shy of being 18 years old. Her birthday is on January 10th. If you react to it, I suggest you go with the video on Boris Palenovski's channel. He is a big Angelina fan, and I believe also a friend of her family. I won't give you the link in fear that my comment will be removed, but you will find it easily 🙂 Or if you want to stay with younger Angelina, you should react to her performances on Norway's Got Talent, which she won when she was 8 years old. She performed 4 songs in total : 1) Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday 2) I'm A Fool To Want You (Also by Billie Holiday) 3) Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra and 4 ) Summertime by George Gershwin. I hope you don't mind that I wrote this Angelina related comment on your reaction to The Righteous Brothers. Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@lauracwhitney]

Excellent reactions to an unequaled performance by the late Bobby Hatfield. i am proud to subscribe today to your channel. Well done, young man. This performance always brings tears to my eyes. I remember when the Righteous Brothers first were played on the radio. I never forgot. I am now a 77-year-old grandmother who is still in awe of the beauty of this man's voice and presentation. You make some inspiring points in your narrative, as well. Thank you for featuring the Righteous Brothers.

[@jwb52z9]

Bobby Hatfield had a very rare voice for a man called a countertenor. It's equivalent to a high soprano. He had a 4.5 to 5 octave range. He'd probably still be alive if not for a cocaine induced heart attack in his sleep.

[@kathyr2792]

Hon if you don't interrupt the song (I think once is enough but not sure about that) you can get into serious trouble with KZbin and copyright laws. I don't want to see that happen!

[@ceriblythin2963]

Im from the UK. My Mum was born in 1940 and this was one of her favourite groups, please listen to You've lost that lovin feeling too, both members sing in that one. Sadly she passed in 2010, but every time I hear these songs, and watch others discover the joy in them, I think of my Mum and the joy she passed to everybody! You're a wonderful gentleman, keep on listening, try Roy Orbison too, another one of Mums favourites! Ceri

[@spacefanatic]

Hundreds of singers have sung this song but none better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version of this song was featured in the film 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. His mother was in the audience watching him perform live for the first time, he had a cold and also suffered with stage fright. No autotune just pure talent. If you watch him at the end his face does not contort like other singers when he hits the high notes.

[@tonilharmon]

Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain live at Monterrey Pop " will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED. You should really check it out, if you haven't already. Seriously. She will DEFINITELY move you.

[@imocchidoro]

Great reaction to a great song and perfect performance. I don't think of great songs as being "old" now. This is just as new to you as it was to us. I love watching young people with the same reactions to GREAT as we had.

[@heatherspence3848]

❤

[@OutlanderAnatomy]

Kudos to you, young man for your thoughtful and heartfelt response to Bobby’s anthem. I was 23 when I heard him sing this on the Andy Williams Valentine Day special. I am now almost 82 and it never fails to stir my heart. “Unchained Melody” was written in 1955 for the film, “Unchained.” The film was a flop but the music wasn’t. It was the story of an incarcerated man who is longing to return to his wife and children, wondering if she will be there for him when he is released. It is claimed that nine months after Bobby sang this perfect rendition that the birth rate spiked. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true. That tiny mic, no writhing or gyrating, no gimmicks. He just stood and delivered. We are the lucky recipients of his God given talent. 🙏🏼 PS he was also a fine football player.

[@TheRepublican777]

This song was used in the movie Ghost and the Righteous brothers song "you lost that love and feeling" was used in the first Too Gun movie and Bill the other half of this duo sang the song" Time of my life" that was in the movie Dirty Dancing
