FIRST TIME HEARING "Righteous Brothers" - Unchained Melody (REACTION!!)

[@johnsimon2988]

You're a beautiful young woman and Bobby Hatfield should be honored to have you choose his song for your future wedding. I was 10 years old when this song was performed. No auto tune, pure talent. Peace.

[@orwellknew9112]

Look how easily he sang that song, live. No electronic help, just him and a mic. A great song and a great performance.

[@bgvan37]

Just love when youngins finally hear our music.

Bobby Hatfield. Still melting women's hearts into love puddles 60 years on.

Just pure magic by a great singer.

Bobby was the best of the best no matter the song. On his best day, Elvis was a poor second or third behind AL Greene and Percy Sledge.

[@HGWTPaladin]

@@doloresschultz8393 So what did that make Bobby? 4th? Is that your meaning of best of the best?

[@HGWTPaladin]

@@doloresschultz8393 Al Greene #1, Percy Sledge or Elvis #2, Elvis or Percy Sledge #3, Bobby Hatfield best of the best.

[@fredbloggs6080]

@@doloresschultz8393 Don't forget the great Roy Hamilton, whose hit version of Unchained Melody inspired Bobby Hatfield 10 Years later. Hamilton also inspired Elvis, Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke, among others.

This Bobby Hatfield, no one else can do this….not even Elvis.

[@aragorn1ring]

This song has been sung by so many different people. And no one can match Bobby Hatfield and its because he actually feels the song while hes singing it.

[@AaronBernstein-pw2me]

You were wonderful.

[@douglasphilippa5554]

He actually had a bad cold when he did this!

What is better than watching beautiful women of today reacting the Righteous Brothers? Listening to more. Nice.

Bobby Hatfield live performance . The Andy Williams Show- Episode #4.5 Episode aired Oct 25, 1965: Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor 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’.

[@SherryDocchio]

Yes, that about sums it up for all of us girls from that era as well. Two men, incomparable vocal talent, class, good looks, Bill Medley with eyes the color of the Pacific Ocean and Bobby Hatfield's eyes the color of a new swimming pool filled with crystal clear water. It just doesn't get any better after all these years. Enjoy your journey and make sure you don't forget to breathe.

❤❤❤your reaction ❤️❤️😀😀

[@marksaunders7976]

Just "PURE PERFECTION". Just one man and a mic. Bobby Hatfield's preformance and vocalisation was just undeniable talent. The backing instrumentation was flawless, especially went the strings came in. No auto tuning or mixing, just endless raw talent that seem to be made for each other. Appartently the reason that Bobby hatfield bite his lip afterwaeds was due to his mother was in the audience watching him and when he gave this flawless preformance' he was relieved that it was over.

[@roderickreilly3077]

Your reactions are as much fun to watch as listening to the music. 😊

I love your reaction. I first heard this in 1965 and it still afects me the same way.

[@carolynsteinecke]

I was 6 when this came out, but did not hear it then. I heard it for the first time in "Ghost". I cried all of the way home, with the recorded version in my mind. It was played in my 2nd wedding. But then I heard this live version ❤🎉! It will be played at my funeral, in honor of my beloved husband.

[@barbaramiller2369]

When this was recorded in 1965 the Vietnam War was ongoing and many couples really connected to its message

Remember this was LIVE T V back in 1965. And Bobby just got over a cold.

Hi Starr. Your reaction was absolutely stellar. Just for your information, during the song Bobby did not sing "Don't feel your love"....his words were actually "Godspeed your love", which means successfully bring your love "to me". Great job.

[@billysmith8784]

Many artists sang this song even Elvis but I do like the righteous brother won because of the high pitch . But I love how Elvis sang it too

I prefer your natural look here, nothing too much. You feel the music, as do I as an autistic empath, I have no musical talent, but music is my shield from the world. No lip-sync or auto-tune back then.
