Still melting hearts 60 years later. Bobby was a counter tenor. One of the rarest vocal ranges. He was known to have stage fright. He was nervous that night because not only was his mother in the audience seeing him perform on stage for the first time, but he also had a cold. This was one of the greatest live performances ever. This will always be Bobby's song.

[@MDSlatanica]

People in this era didn't need tricks to sound good because they had real talent and could really sing.

[@Rowgue51]

That's because you couldn't manufacture a singer back then. You could either sing or you couldn't. Today you can literally take somebody that can't sing at all and make them sound flawless. Today they start from somebody that has the look or the vibe they want and worry about creating the voice in the studio later.

[@PetraDarklander]

That's righteous brother.

[@TruthIsNotTemporary]

👍👍👍 You were good or you didnt make it

[@ICU2B4UDO]

Took the WORDS right out of my mouth...That's righteous bro!! 😂

[@netzahuacoyotl]

@@Rowgue51that’s absolutely not true. You still have to be able to sing, but studio technology can fix out of tune notes and minor timing issues. You can edit together a performance out of multiple takes. You can improve a good performance and sweeten it with effects, but you can’t make a bad performance sound amazing. The thing that is amazing about this video is that he performed this live on stage so flawlessly and beautifully. That’s rare talent.

[@perryholloway540]

I think this was a special night for him because his mother was in the audience, I love watching your reaction young lady.

At 71, it is heartwarming to see young people like yourself that have an appreciation for the great music I grew up with. It is so pure and real.

Women were exalted in song back then, not called 'bitches' and 'hos' and denigrated as in modern pop music. Society itself has grown coarser and more base, and more's the pity.

That wasn't a falsetto at the end. Bobby was a countertenor. He could sing from baritone all the way up to soprano in his natural range without using falsetto.

[@gravypatron]

Every singer knows it's falsetto at the end. That note is E5, which is the upper limit of a countertenor. 😊 Edit: Bobby's highest note was allegedly an Eb6 - nearly an octave higher than we hear here.

Listen to her DESPERADO, Adios, Tumbling Dice, Poor Wandering One, Whats New...with Nelson Riddle and his BIG Band orchestra, Blue Bayou, she did 3 albums with Nelson RIddle of the great american song book and every song is gold...she did a duet with Neville? that won a grammy ....a great love song....and a lot of her singing is just her and a piano with a microphone you could have bought at Radio shack for $15...so her voice is golden....

[@andreadeamon6419]

Plus his mom was there in front of him so he was nervous. I wished i could sing like this while being sick and nervous

[@sueshow401]

He did NOT HAVE A COLD. Otherwise he would not have reached his many fluctuations with such controlled held notes to breath in or how about the two octaves he climbed up to sing effortlessly. He also wanted to make his Mama in the audience proud! And the biting his lip was congratulating to himself that he sang the song well in his mother's presence!!!!

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

There was no question about hitting the last notes. He had rehearsed with the orchestra beforehand. He wouldn't have attempted it if there was a question about doing it. His mother is behind him. She's the lady in the blue dress and fur stole. His dad is sitting next to her. Yes, he did have a cold. Maybe, it wasn't full blown at that point, but he still had it. You can hear it in his voice, when speaking and singing.

The whole Simon and Garfunkel 1981 concert in Central Park was just pure heavenly talent. Everyone should watch it!

Thanks for bringing back some memories for this 75 year old

[@Shadowace724]

Pure talent, something that is in short supply today. Timeless acts of that era? Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, Del Shannon would be a good start.

One thing the younger generations have missed out on is slow dancing to this music.

[@paulineverriere8054]

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

New sub here. My absolute favorite youtubers are young people discovering "our" music from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80. Without fail, they are astonished how truly good music was back then. I just love these reactions. And of course, you now have to react to Youve Lost that Lovin Feeling, with both brothers.

I love watching younger people discovering the music us older people grew up listening to.

Bobby was just 24 years old here. You need to see his solo "Summertime" it will blow you away.

My fav song..I’ll look up

[@gailhausmann1329]

Beautiful song; .... By the great Bobby Hatfield.... Yes: I always cry when I listen to this... I'm 70 -& remember when he first sang this... What a great talent he was... Thanks so much for posting this.🙏🙂

This was the first time his mother had ever seen him perform publicly so he gave it his best and nailed it. 50+ years later and he's still seducing women with his amazing voice

Covered by more than 670 artists to tell you how popular this song is. But this is the gold standard by the late great Bobby Hatfield. No autotune, just pure talent and after almost 60 years it sounds great. If you have seen the movie GHOST you would remember the scene with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. It’s iconic. Other great songs by them are You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, which was the most played song in the 20th Century. Also a number one hit “Soul and Inspiration”. Also They’re tribute song to stars that have passed away “Rock And Roll Heaven”. You seem to be appreciates great music. Thank you again.
