FIRST TIME HEARING Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Loving Feeling | REACTION

[@eloisepowers8608]

Unchained Melody...be prepared to be WOWED

[@darwinllcpower6574]

Try Summer Time from their TV show....

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

I believe this was the most played song in the late 20th century. They were righteous, brother! Bobby does a live solo version on the Andy Williams show of Unchained Melody. Possibly the greatest live performance ever imho. Try to get the longer version intro explaining why it’s a solo with Bobby and Bill talking to Andy before the actual performance. It’s amazing.

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

FACTS!!!! Man I hope Salvo sees these comments about this track & does the long live vid👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼

[@rickpopham5400]

Here's a KZbin link to the version introduced by Andy Williams. Well worth the extra time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXiYl5qKnrWZjKs

[@BringItMAGA]

Over 8 million plays on the air estimated.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

The reason given is a joke, though. They actually each did one solo per album and they flipped a coin to see who got to do Unchained Melody. Bobby (and the world) won the coin toss. No offense to Bill intended. His voice is amazing, but that song was better with Bobby's voice than anyone's.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Andy was a great singer himself and could recognise natural talent when he heard it.

[@luckyskittles8976]

When you do "Unchained Melody" and you will, there's a slightly longer clip where they are introduced (Andy William show)and they explain how they came by their name etc

[@lauraallen55]

As has been said: Unchained Melody from the Andy Williams Show is a must. Bobby (the blonde tenor here) sang it solo and hit some insane number of separate notes during the performance. It will blow your socks off. I marvel to this day that anyone was ever capable of singing like that and looking like they were having a conversation. Effortless. Most perfect singing I've ever encountered. To top it off, he wasn't feeling well, and was nervous because his parents were in the audience. Stellar vocals on Bobby Hatfield.

[@tombaranyai6683]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Nothing else needs to be said.

[@g.e.5723]

This was a MONSTER hit. Massive airplay. The slow dance song of the 60s.

[@txhesser]

rejuvenated twice by the movies Top Gun and TG Maverick.

[@rapodejko]

This song was the most played song of the 20th century

[@diannklotzbier7447]

Belly rubbing music!

[@brucefelger4015]

Possibly the most played song in the 20th century

[@ericpotter4657]

This was the most played radio & tv song of the 20th century and held that honor up until 2019 when the song EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE passed them up. They were a fantastic duo. The tenor Bobby Hatfield passed away 15-20 years ago. They got their name while singing at a place near a marine base in California , when a person got up and complemented them by saying “that was Righteous brother”. Other big hits you could react to UNCHAINED MELODY & YOUR MY SOUL AND INSPIRATION. this was a great reaction and you have a blessed day.

[@bob_._.]

Yeah, they were BIG. You gotta do "Unchained Melody," a solo effort by Bobby Hatfield and just amazing.

[@elizabethrogers8306]

Wasn't a "solo effort". It was just a song written for one voice and Bobby was elected to sing it. He was not going out on his own. Also, Cher was a background singer for them at one point.

[@bob_._.]

@@elizabethrogers8306 Please forgive me for using the term "solo" to describe a performance voiced by only one singer. I stand corrected; Bobby's effort was obviously and completely a "half duo." ffs, pedants gotta suck all the oxygen outta the comments.

[@mattshaw6180]

"Soul and Inspiration" is another monster duet by the Righteous Brothers. Now, you've already reacted to Heart's cover of "Unchained Melody" but these guys initiated it and you'd be hurting yourself if you don't react to Bobby Hatfield's delivery on the Andy Williams Show from 1965.

[@WoodsWoman822]

The Righteous Brothers Version was definitely the most popular version!! BUT....Unchained Melody was already a hit in 1954-55 by Roy Hamilton. It was also featured in a Movie in the 50's about a Prisoner wondering if his Love would still be waiting for him when he was finally set free. Elvis Presley also Sang Unchained Melody at his Final filmed Concert Preformance on June 21, 1977 just weeks before his Passing. I would recomend you listen to Elvis's Live Audio Version first, Recorded on April 24, 1977 4 months before He Passed, as it was vocally his best : Elvis Presley Unchained Melody Official Lyric Video I would wait to see the Live filmed Concert Version until after you see the 2022 Elvis Bio Pic Movie 🎬 which I'm sure most Elvis fans would enjoy watching with you !! Hint ! Hint ! ☺️

[@michaelestabrook2018]

this song was the most requested song for the next 30 years.

[@susannariera]

I love them both, but Bobby's voice....made in heaven. Unchained Melody live at Andy Williams show is a must. They were also so funny! Blue eyed soul at its best!

[@lindakoschwitz7370]

I absolutely agree. I had such a crush on him.

[@BethHutter]

They were the epitome of blue eyed soul. If you want to hear Bobby Hatfield wail listen to Unchained Melody!

[@rapodejko]

Also summertime

[@SherryDocchio]

This was performed in front of a live audience and they edited out all the screaming and fainting fans. They were the greatest duo and we may never see the likes of them again but thanks to you and others' reactions you're keeping the legacy alive. Loved your genuine reaction and appreciation.

[@doloreskrisky1670]

Was this from Shindig?

[@SherryDocchio]

Yes it was. There is another KZbin clip of this performance where the fans screaming wasn't edited out. Sometimes when people remix these old clips to isolate just the music the whole vibe is lost. Example: Medley singing "everything I do", where he's looking downward, he was singing to some girls that were screaming every time he moved. So sweet and what a thrill for them.@@doloreskrisky1670

[@annewoodard6803]

The best part about this, it’s LIVE. 😁💖

[@Peter-oh3hc]

"You're my soul and hearts inspiration" is also excellent

[@kriskammeraad3955]

Unchained Melody is next by them .

[@clintlandrum9498]

Yep. I was gonna say the same thing. SalvoG, you must follow this up IMMEDIATELY with "unchained melody" while "feeling" is fresh in your mind.

[@lisalaursen3684]

Yes! Unchained Melody is a must hear.

[@TinyFreya59]

Everything about this performance was perfect… from the spotlighting to the slow walk up the stairs to put them at the same height to the surprise reveal of the backup singers showcased that gorgeous back and forth of those fabulous voices. One of my favorite videos to watch.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

I'm convinced that the songs of the Righteous Brothers are at least in part responsible for the baby boom of the 1960s. This and "Unchained Melody" were huge hits - on the latter Bobby (the tenor) handled the vocals solo.

[@CarolynAllen-fc2vs]

a class all their own! Beautiful!

[@robertfisher3241]

The most requested song on the radio in the 20th century

[@johnthegreek5836]

Just stellar and class

[@matthewgoodA1206]

That whole bridge…. “Baby!” “Baby!” “Baby!” “BABY!” “I’m begging you please!” “PLEASE!” ….is just brilliant, incredible songwriting and performance.

[@LaurelT1948]

This bridge was not in the song originally, but was added by Bill and Bobby. The writers intended them to “add their stuff “ to the song. Really great addition!

[@jetseterii]

Swooooooooooon!!!!! These men had voices to make ladies melt 😍 Unchained Melody is a solo but SO Incredible!!!

[@alvarocoutinho9143]

Listen to Unchained Melody live 1965 from Andy Williams TV show.

[@richifdc89]

I enjoy your reaction because you read about the music or singers beforehand so know the backgrounds before playing. Others just go in blind and have no clue to who some ICONS are. Thanks

[@Toby0813]

2 others that were hits by them, off the top of my head, are: "Soul and Inspiration" (1966) and "Rock and Roll Heaven" (1974) From 2 different decades, which is very apparent when you see these music videos.

[@txhesser]

Great reaction, great song but.... try Unchained Melody live 1965 from the Andy Williams tv show.

[@browniewin4121]

These guys are terrific and were hugely popular. Another vintage duo you should listen to who are real brothers with fabulous harmonies: The Everly Brothers.

[@flippinpages6550]

A lot of love was made to their music. A lot of babies were probably created. They were beautiful to look at and beautiful to listen to.

[@donnaneville192]

Bill Medley take the lead in this song. They each have songs that they take the lead. Unchained Melody is basically a solo for Bobby Hatfield and is beautiful!

[@karenmckinlay1472]

SalvoG I just love watching your reaction to these amazing songs 😁

[@eawe]

I grew up with this era of music. The best music ever. Thank you for bringing this to new generations.

[@hollyann003]

Beautiful voices...beautiful song. 🥺😢😭 This one hurts.

[@RuthBair-ht1fj]

Another great song is Rock and Roll Heaven. Great reaction. ❤❤❤

[@VincentManiscalco]

This song was played on the radio more than any other song in the the 20th century ! Read that again !

[@andrearegan8223]

Loved the Righteous Brothers. This is my favorite music

[@bpfromowc]

If you think this is good, you gotta see them (Bobby H) singing Unchained Melody (live). It will blow you mind. Great reaction (btw). ✌️

[@robertkern9911]

They were featured on a weekly music show called Shiindig I beliee this is from that show I hae the pleasure to see them live Soul and insperation is anther great song

[@sherigrow6480]

This is a clip from the TV show Shindig, where they were regularly featured. It's been remastered. You can hear the audience screaming in the unremastered video. They'd had a top 40 hit with Little Latin Lupe Lu, but this was their first #1.

[@teresadavilasoares6136]

Bobby only sang solo 1 second… but the moment he opens his mouth we instantly melt ❤ Look SalvoG reaction 😅. I think Spector undervalued Bobby’s power of empathy

[@alrightbal9190]

Yes I agree. I think Spector totally undervalued Bobby. That's evident by Spector putting Unchained Melody on the B side of a single. Thank goodness the disc jockies heard what a great song it was and played it instead! Which Spector wasn't happy about.

[@Aelnyana]

@@alrightbal9190 well as it turned out, Spectre in later life turned out to be a horrible person. Rather weird story, actually.

[@lorisharpe]

Pure natural talent… amazing

[@patticampana9458]

Yep. Pure talent, no autotune. How great is that? Good one✌️

[@tchampagne1494]

I loved this song when it came out. That deep voice grabbed me and never let go. I loved it then as I do today. Their harmonies are luxurious to the ears.

[@23cutemonkey]

Even in the UK the Andy Williams Show was a must watch every week. He had so many talented performers on this show. Andy Williams is a terrific singer, putting it mildly, too.

[@sha.elaine]

In his later years, Bill Medley...the taller one, owned a restaurant in Newport Beach CA called "Medleys" and my dad took me there for my 21st birthday. Bill actually sang Happy Birthday to me...of course it was amazing but at 21, I didn't appreciate it like I would now. What talents both of them!

[@angierucinski5694]

The most requested and played song of the 20th century. Back in the day when singers sang and no other nonsense..

[@jimmythetout109]

Scrolled thru many of the comments ......this was the most played song of the 20 th century .. Also a very young Cher was one of the back-up singer seen toward the end . AND ...most importantly .....Righteous Brothers were elected to R and R Hall of Fame ...in 2004 .!!!!

[@mapegatkinson92]

You Are My soul and my Heart's Inspiration is great too.

[@jananders1351]

Nostalgia and way before my time for me too. Sadly post Beatles talent like this was forgetten for years.

[@mariaportengen2959]

I remember, that in the film Top Gun, they also did sing this song, a few members of the cast, for the woman, who played with Tom Cruise.

[@SK-lk3iu]

I'm assuming there was an audience at this performance, because in those days, the only time you would see a live performance like this filmed (other than for a movie) would be on a TV show. There were lots of TV shows with pop music in those days....videos were not yet a thing!!

[@anitawright7169]

These were so very awesome. No auto tune just sheer raw talent. Love your reaction!

[@barbprescott303]

Unchained Melody, Soul & Inspiration, and You’ll Never Walk Alone. Also Rock & Roll Heaven! Please do more

[@vallee3140]

Every time I listen to them I cry, the emotions overtake me, I feel so sad Bobby died so young.

[@danastearns7939]

According to BMI, this is the most requested/played/air time song of the 20th century. This is yet another live performance on a variety show = no auto tune or computer aids here in '64. This song is primarily sung by Bill Medley. Their next hit - Unchained Melody ('65) is a solo from Bobby Hatfield; their 3rd big hit - Soul and Inspiration ('66) both sing one verse each with the finale mostly by Medley. Side note from this video: one of the chorus singers is a young Cher. Their harmony is just pure magic. And yes, back in the day, a weekly TV pamphlet would be mailed out listing shows/air time/channel for the coming week. Believe me, when this duo was going to appear "live" on a show all us gals would be tuned in, wishing "our night in shining armor" would serenade us like they did.

[@vernhoke7730]

Just two guys in tuxes, a little backing music, that's how they rolled back in the day.

[@BringItMAGA]

Oh yeah. We were glued to the black and white TV. The only one in the house. 3 channels. No cell phones. It was heaven. Little did we know how much. I was 6.

[@talltulip]

This recod holds the title of being the most-played single on American radio in the 20th century.

[@jeanierhode3143]

Grew up with this music it was the best now this is great music I graduated in 1965 love there music.We had the best music

[@mariannebowman6114]

Yep! Welcome to my world!

[@trudywolfe2795]

This was the most requested and most played song of the 20th century.!!!!!!! Read that again... INCREDIBLE

[@colinkaak9874]

I saw the Righteous Brothers at Red Rocks, Denver, in August of 1964, opening for some group called The Beatles! Tickets were $6.60. I was only 13, and don’t remember a thing about their set.

[@famat161]

Unchained Melody makes women melt.

[@ronn.6876]

You absolutely MUST listen to Unchained Melody from the Andy Williams Show from 1965. It is a solo sung by Bobby Hatfield. It will freak you out.

[@WoodsWoman822]

Hi Sal, Love the Righteous Brothers They were very popular even into the 70's and 80's. Elvis and Bill Medley were Great Friends and Elvis did his own version of this song Live in Las Vegas in 1970 it was Great. Bill Medley also wrote a Beautiful Tribute Song about Elvis after he Passed, called "Old Friend" Elvis Presley also Sang: "Unchained Melody" at his Final filmed Concert Preformance on June 21,1977 just weeks before his Passing on August 16,1977. I would recomend you listen to Elvis's Live Audio Version first, Recorded on April 24, 1977, four months before He Passed, as it was vocally his best Version: Elvis Presley Unchained Melody Official Lyric Video I would wait to see the Live filmed Concert Version weeks before his passing, until after you see the 2022 Elvis Bio Pic Movie 🎬 which I'm sure most Elvis fans would enjoy watching with you !! Hint ! Hint ! ☺️

[@ljwilson55]

I remember my parents attempting to dance to this song, while my older brother laughed so hard he cried. The Ed Sullivan Show, Andy Williams Show in the evenings were what we watched. My brother watched Dick Clark and the Dance Band. I watched my one hour of cartoons on saturday. I miss those days. My parents are long gone and my brother died last week. It is just me and my twin sister now.

[@jolie2861]

When "Top Gun" came out, was glad people rediscovered Bill Medley 's awesome voice and the Righteous Brothers

[@jodij6280]

Pure talent! Fun fact: they each appeared on the 9th season of the tv show, Cheers. Bobby Hatfield sang Unchained Melody and Bill Medley sang You've Lost That Loving Feeling.

[@MarniMedia]

It's funny that you mentioned Cheers because that was the first time I ever heard of the song Unchained Melody. I looked up the episode to make sure I was remembering it correctly, and the one I'm referring to was Season 4, Ep 20, from 1986 where Nick and Carla are in a dance competition and they danced to the song. I was 8 at the time, and it stuck with me all these years. It looks like the song has some repeat appearances in the series, too. 😊

[@agapeo4137]

Bobby sings with wide emotional range with the most versatile gymnastically runs and skill listen to him rip his talent singing: Summertime, Unchained Melody, My Prayer, Bill singing I just want to make love to you, Duo You'll never walk alone, etc. .etc.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

You are right, they were very popular. Great great song, had massive airplay. Unchained Melody. Soul and Inspiration, Little Latin Lupe Lu and Rock and Roll Heaven are all must hears. So glad you got to them!

[@MsZepfreak]

Timeless, beautiful song. Love it. 😊

[@brianmccullough5764]

Bobby, the tenor, passed on several years ago. Bill Medley took on a new partner a few years ago and got back into his Righteous catalog. I appeared on a cruise ship with them just last year and at 82 Bill is still killing it.

[@LaurelT1948]

Absolutely! I saw him earlier this month!!!

[@wolfmama7879]

60s & 70s music. My mom and dad were in high school and college when they were singing this song.

[@TangoEliott]

This was live before a studio audience.

[@andrewmadeloni7173]

I so appreciate your appreciation of great music...🙂

[@vanessa4u4evr]

They're a vibe.

[@brentgunderson1349]

"Unchained Melody" is phenomenal and it was a hit a second time when it was featured in the movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. Their other #1, sort of the matching companion to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration". Bill Medley (the one with the deep voice) also hit #1 in the 80's with his duet with Jennifer Warnes "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, another Patrick Swayze movie.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

This video is the visuals from a live performance on a show called Shindig synced up to the studio version audio. When Phil Spector brought them this song, Bobby was a bit irked and he asked, "What am I supposed to do while Medley is singing?" Spector replied, "Go to the bank."

[@mightbeanybody]

At the disco we always wanted them as the last song to smooch with the girl we wanted.

[@kenennis6287]

Produced by Sonny Bono. With Cher on backing vocals. Glen Campbell and Leon Russell played on the track

[@howiedavis2316]

Really? I knew Cher was a backup singer, but I had no clue her husband Sunny produced it, nor than one of my favorite country boys Glen Campbell was on this track. I'm not surprised by Leon, as he is on albums by the Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Jan and Dean, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. One of his early fans, Elton John, said that Russell was a "mentor" and an "inspiration." Where did you learn about Sunny and Eric and Leon on this song? I'd love to read about it.

[@kenennis6287]

If I remember right it was one of those little bits of trivia that a deejay throws in. At the time I heard it it surprised me. Then I learned that Glen and Leon were all over as session players

[@howiedavis2316]

thank you@@kenennis6287 I had no clue. Learn something new every day, well morning, as it is 4 am here and insomnia sucks lol.

[@lindalandry2519]

Blue eyed soul at its finest. They joke about being thought to be black until their album cover came out. Fortunately they both did solos to display their individual talent. You can see here how their voices meld, their talent shines and their persision counts.

[@brianpowell6058]

A young Cher was one of the backing singers on this track from a live TV show. The song was the most requested song on radio in the entire 20th century. Known as 'Blue-Eyed Soul' this song is responsible for more births than any other in the second half of the 1960's onwards.

[@janetf23]

I can still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard this song in 1964, and considering I was a flighty little 14yr old, that's saying something💥

[@cdfdesantis699]

Two of the finest male voices to ever grace modern music. Thanks for your reaction.

[@teresadavilasoares6136]

Love to see reacting as you do , really appreciating like you did ! The hottest, romantic and soulful group of the 60's. They were called Blue eyed souls ! we only listened through the radio or vynil and everybody thought they were black, the bests of R&B, until the tv became affordable... and we realize they were white 😅 ! Their name was chosen after a tour through the south when they performed in a saloon near a black marine base and some went see them. They were so impressed that shouted what they used to : that's righteous, brothers! They never fail you, allways give chills ! Thunder and Lightning g. They sing solo, 🔥 Bill's I wanna make love to you or absolutely surrey Bobby's Summertime !!! And together their harmonies are spotless, moving and brilliant. But don't forget the most famous love song ... Bobby's Unchained Melody

[@vinroc4080]

Trivia: Did you spot teeny bopper Cher singing background?

[@rebeccalipps23]

1964 was a very good year. The Beatles stormed the U.S. in February, I came along in October, & then there is this. The taller deeper voice is from Bill Medley who sang the feature song, "Time of My Life" with Jennifer Warnes for Dirty Dancing.

[@brettmiller7138]

They were amazing....Sad Bobby died. Got to see them live in the 80's. They were brilliant. Listen to Just Once in My Life.

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

Your next song has to be Unchained Melody. It is live, from a TV show (Andy Williams) and I know you will love it!

[@destination22ful]

Thanks for the reaction. The recording of this song had the Wrecking Crew musicians as well as a young Cher on background vocals. RIP Bobby.

[@wildk4tmc421]

This is a truly epic performance.. you’re in for a treat ❤

[@ed.z.]

I was a little kid when I saw this performance on TV. I got goosebumps and became obsessed with music ever since.

[@daviddemar551]

This song played a crucial role in the plot of the first Top Gun film.

[@TheGathumpus]

One of the backing singers was called Cher I believe. Unchained Melody is also a great song but Bill made the mistake of letting Bobby sing it as a solo and then the film "Ghost" relaunched it into the charts.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Don't know how it was a mistake. Bobby had been singing it solo for years. He brought it to the recording studio to be his solo for the album.

[@sylviabuck3369]

​@@Aurora-tp3dy many thanks for your comment

[@itchyandred4131]

This song came out the same month and year I was born ✌️

[@BevBrown-y9t]

Righteous Brothers And The Bee Gee,s that's all you need ❤

[@simply_psi]

On This Side of Goodbye and Justine are both great songs by The Righteous Brothers

[@trudireynolds9509]

I was a junior in high school when vietnam was ramping up fast and i had friends including my blond blue eyed sweetie boy friend he came back bat shit crazy.. so damaged. I think of him and all the other kids over there hearing this… thinking of their girlfriends and wives. Still breaks my heart all these years later. Bobby Hatfield had a voice sent from god. Pres if sturnt body 3 sport letterman … he and Bill medley were amazing match and olayed in a club frequented by a lot of troops from pendelton and naval base.. ghey named the duo

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

The Righteous Brothers are amazing - obviously. They have many hits. I would ask that you do a reaction to their song "Rock and Roll Heaven''. It's not as popular in the mainstream as some of their other hits, but it's still a great tribute song to the early legends in rock and roll. I love your appreciation of good music!
