I'm a 77 yr old black man, born and raise in New Orleans. Everybody in my world heard the Righteous Brothers on the radio. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was their first big hit. We all assumed that they were black. The only way you could see them would have been on an album jacket. Only gradually did the word get out that they were not black. Most, in my world, could not believe it. Gradually we all knew, but we were still amazed.

@@impossibledrms True. But the shock of their color was a bit more electric because of the times: the 'mid 60's. Jim Crow mentality (not yet dead) not only split the races, it made blacks cling tightly to the things that, we felt, defined us e.g. our distinct musical sound. Otherwise we were made invisible.

I first heard this in the 80s when I was a kid, which was right around the time of the milli vanilli lip sync scandal and the C&C music factory video where they replaced the big woman with a skinny woman. All that to say that at the time, the ol' switcheroos weren't uncommon. I spent the next decade or so convinced that the righteous brothers were actually black, and the white guys were the "place holders" lol.

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 in 2003.

Let's highlight the most notorious trace amount of any substance ever. But, that's par for the course for internet gossips. No one close to him ever saw him using it under the influence. No illegal substances or drug paraphernalia in his room. Was it really there? The ME said, without the bypass surgery he needed, he couldn't see him living through that month -- 90% blockage in the coronary arteries. It's a shame neither he nor Bill recognized the signs of an impending heart attack One of he's sons said he had a doctor's appointment scheduled for after the tour. Wish it was for before it. Would he be alive today? 83 is more than the average life expectancy for men. I'll stop here because if I don't a may say something really insulting.

I heard that, at one of their early concerts, someone in the audience yelled out, "You brothers are righteous!", and they took that as the name. There are two, but they are not actual brothers. I think the second declined to do the vocals in this song because he did not believe in it. HUGE mistake. As you guessed it was used as a love ballad in the film, "Ghost", which revived this songs fame in 1990.

👍👍👍 Exactly! A white man hitting the soprano range. I really like the black 76 year old (in this comment section) who talks about how frequently artists were mistaken for the wrong race! A new artist would play on the radio for months before wed see them on Solid Gold or the Midnight Special. And we didnt always get to see them on an album cover, much less buy another album every time a new artist debuted on the radio Chuck Barry, Alicia Bridges, & Amii Stewart were the ones a got TOTALLY wrong until I saw them on TV back then. Also Johnny Mathis, when I was still small- - about 8 years old Back then there was only the lead singer of the Temptations & one other black singer who was widely known as a true male soprano. (Sorry, I cant remember which singing group he was in. The Marvels, the Emotions, or something like that) White men were definitely NOT expected to be as soulful as Bobby Hatfield, Paul Davis, & Tom Johnston

They'll listen to new stuff, most of them obscure punk outfits or whatever the hell "orc core" is, but so many have deep respect and affection for the classics. My boss is obsessed with the Eagles as well as Taylor Swift. The janitorial lead is a fan of Lizzo, Destiny's Child, and the Four Seasons and doo wop in general. Yesterday I had a lively conversation about Traffic and Smith with someone much younger than 9/11. A 20 year old was intensely jealous that I got to meet members of Yes, The Zombies, and the Yardbirds. I have boomer parents but none of them do. The greats are great for a reason.

The most forever outstanding quality of Bobby's performance is how that on paper, this song is a ballad. But with his gifts, Bobby transforms what is already a beautiful song into practically an _OPERATIC AURIA._ No one among our general population even knows what an auria is anymore. Someone with diversified musical experience such as Simon Cowell, Alicia Keys, Elton John. Sure, they could define an auria for you exactly. Maybe even Bruno Mars. But not everyday people like you & me Our younger generation is starved of the experience of a live opera. Sure, Italian Opera becomes a turnoff after too long because you have no idea what the song is about. But its so refreshing to hear an artist (or a composer) who takes the time to translate an opera into English. Even still, you would have to reach back to recordings from the time of Enrico Caruso & Marion Anderson to hear true aurias. And I must admit I am too out of touch with the orchestral & operatic world of today to know about anyone who performs them now. Operas? Thats easy to look up. But present-day opera singers who perform actual aurias? Not so convenient to find. Good luck! Its just so heartachingly unusual now. I took for granted that someone on PBS would put on an Italian opera, sung in English, back in the 80's. But 35 years later I cant remember what songs of what operas, or what artists performed. At least we still have the legacy of NYC's Metropolitan Opera & its videotaped performances, sung in Italian with English subtitles The only other pop hit my tired mind can think of at this late hour is Amii Stewart's _Knock On Wood._ And its more _soulful_ than it is _auriatic._ Amii sustains soprano heights a couple of times, but she doesnt perform an auria like Bobby does here, each time he leads up to & during the climax of his refrain "I need your love/ Oh, I need your love/ God speed your love to me." Thats twice he hits the soprano range & pulls off an auria while up there. And then he hits an auria a third time at the conclusion of his song

I made sure to choose a piano style that was just like hers. She couldn't communicate the last several days, either, but she'd squeeze my hand so tight - so I knew she was completely aware, and I spoke to her as normal. Sorry for your loss - please accept my condolences. I know it's still too fresh for you to have finished grieving your Dad. I pray you'll have a very healthy & healing grief process.

My husband passed 1 year and a day af my father passed. It's been the worst. My soulmate of 37 yrs. I am beyond traumatized. My husband was my life and I was his. We talkedb about every topic under the sun. And we were best friends. Unchained melody was the song for us. We did wait a long time bf we got married it was the happiest day of our lives. I miss him so much that it hurts to breathe. Can't sleep, eat, nothing. Have no interest in anything I just want to be with him again, I miss him so much he was my life. Feels like my heart and soul were ripped torn fr my body. I've had a pain in my chest since the second Ray passed, heart is shattered toa trillion pieces and can never be repaired. There was only one person in the whole world for me there will be no one else, you only get one soulmate and so grateful to God for him and for us to have been together for 37 yrs, not many people get this in life we were lucky enough to have a lifetime together,most people don't get to have that, so I'm very grateful to God for that, it's just that we wanted to grow old together. I'm sure neither of us thought that it would be so soon. And making the pain worse, my daddy and I were very close, I'm an only child, just me. And I was daddy's little girl till the day he passed. I didn't have time to grieve for my daddy cause it was too hard, I've Always Been terrified of losing my Daddy and Mommy, so I had to pushed all the pain down in to the back of my mind as was . Time to deal with at a later date cause it's just to fresh and raw. Then the day af the one yr anniversary of my Daddy passing , my husband passed in my arms at 55 yrs old, natural causes. It was very traumatic to me, and it has only gotten worse instead of better. Nothing will ever be better for me. I Love him for eternity and miss him desperately until we meet again, and we will I know that as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow..

This was during the Vietnam war when so many of our brothers and friends were off fighting. Although this song does not make direct mention of it, believe me when I say that there were many young men and young ladies listening to this while thinking of their love far away. By the way, you are all a delight to watch. Keep listening to many genres and many eras to round out your music appreciation. God bless!

Bobby Hatfield, yes. The bass was Bill Medley. Each time they did an album they each did a solo song. This one was the song Bobby did when he won a coin toss. What you are watching is part of a show called The Andy Williams Show, on a Valentine's Day special, and they had just introduced Bobby. Pure talent.

A voice coach (English) called Bill Medly a "Bari-Bass" which facially appears to be a dual range of baritone and base. When their music came out it was like an electric charge. They were peers of the Temptations. Male voices then were spectacular both black and white: E.g.'s Percy Sledge and Solomon Burke. The latter's "Cry For Me" is still one of my favorites.
