This was a live appearance on the Andy Williams Show. No tricks, no redos, no second chances, no autotune, no nothing, but his talent. This is one of the all time best live performances ever. Also, I believe Bobby Hatfield's mother was in the audience and smiled at the end because he absolutely nailed it in front of her. True greatness.

[@Sp33gan]

This is, almost totally unarguably, the finest live vocal performance ever. Bobby's total control over his voice is astonishing and he utilises nearly every note in 4 octave range. I don't believe there's a singer alive who can do this without studio fakery. Even more so, this live version is even superior to the studio recording of this amazing song. Seeing him bite his lip at the end, he knows he's nailed this, with his mum in the audience who hadn't seen him perform live since Bobby and his singing partner Bill Medley began enjoying hit records. As for further exploration into the 1960s, absolutely yes. No decade has been more diverse, accepting, nor more creative than the 60s. It's a deep well of some of the greatest music ever done.

[@stebow1977]

It is definitely one of the finest live performances of all time. Bridge Over Troubled Water by Art Garfunkel, and Sound of Silence by Disturbed are up there with it too.

[@victorluke5816]

Maybe Mitch Grassi from PTX could pull it off. A lot of his live performances are better than studio ones.

One of, yes, for the time, certainly, but have you heard Dimash*, Angelina Jordan or Diana Ankudinova, or any of the other 'modern' outstanding singers. Morgan James and Haley Reinhart have some outstanding performances on Postmodern Jukebox - "Dream On", "Creep" and "Seven Nation Army" being a selection. There are astounding singers, and performers, from different countries, and in different genres, that we will never hear of, to our loss. *For example, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWqpnXeDeNRrgrc - for Dimash. His recorded range is just shy of 7 octaves, and he hints that there's more.

[@rightwired]

Agreed. Maybe only Delores.

I know no man that can rival Bobby's performance in this song his vocal range was astounding. I dont believe there's a male opera singer that can come close to this. Way to go Bobby a lasting impression even today. This man had every female wiping the tears back when listening to this solo. A true artist RIP BOBBY

I am Dutch, 63 years old and first heard this song in 1968 (Yes I was 8) and I was blown away. Since then I have heard this song thousands of times (also by other artists). But Bobby's version is not from this planet. The best ever. Ladies and gentlemen.... this is how you present and sing a song.

No one has sung this song better than the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Done live in 1965 on the Andy Williams Show. Never has an orchestra and a singer was so well in sync then when Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra performed this live 58 years ago in 1965. This (Live) performance has been considered as the greatest live performance in television history. Great and honest reaction...

[@deanrotering879]

This is real talent done live with no tech tricks. Enjoy.

[@spencerburgess9181]

Damn, that last note….amazing❤️

[@spacefanatic]

This song has been sung by hundreds of people but none sings it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version featured in the film 'Ghost' was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his mother was in the audience listening to him sing professionally for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. At the end when he hits the high note he does not contrort his face like other singers do when hitting a high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say 'I nailed it'.

[@daviddempsey8721]

Originally sung in a film Unchained (1955) about convicts in prison.

[@bryanrobles4851]

I'm living with my 91-year-old mom at the moment (by choice), and she sings this song every single day AND plays it on the piano, beautifully. I hear it sooo much I find it hard to believe there are people that have never heard it before. That being said, I love your reaction to discovering and loving it. Big Smiles hermanita.

[@silentrage5425]

I'll always have a place in my heart for the Righteous Brothers. I used their song "Soul and Inspiration" to break out of the friend zone with my sister's best friend. It was the early 80's, and with the help of some friends, I got her to the middle of the roller skating rink. From there I sang "Soul and Inspiration" to her, it way the scariest but one of the best times of my life. Sadly, she passed in 2014 from cancer, but with very few regrets. We knew love that is extremely rare these days.

[@johnnycotrel7413]

This young lady is probably the best love song ever and with a singer who has a pure honest voice, no machines to make it sound good he sing's from the heart. Bobby Hatfield is who that is.His story is tragic but he left us with a song that has touched the hearts of billions and stood the test of time. His counterpart is Bill Medley that formed the group the Righteous Brothers. Loved your reaction. Here's a kind of request, watch the movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze and you'll get to the scene that plays this song and it will have you in tears.

[@debrawucik826]

OMG, the late Bobby Hatfield! I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He was so awesome and handsome! We fell in love with the Righteous Brothers music. You need to listen to their other hits. They had no auto tunes, just pure raw talent! I have all of their vinyl record albums in my collection. ❤❤❤

[@nelitasciretta7101]

It's really bittersweet that Bobby chose his music over the professional baseball career he could have had. Had he chosen baseball, he might still be with us, but then we would not have his hauntingly beautiful music to listen to. Bobby truly did have the voice of an angel, mesmerizing, addictive, and just a pure joy to listen to. I could not chose a favorite from all his solos as they are all amazing. He will always be my favorite male singer and the owner of this song. There really never will be another Bobby! If you want to hear more of Bobby, listen to I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons) or Only You, or Stay With Me, or My Prayer, or Crying in the Chapel, or For Your Love, or Ebb Tide...just to name a few!

[@danastearns7939]

This is a LIVE performance - in 1964 - before there was auto tune and other computer-assists for tone quality. This is just pure, raw talent. He sings this and goes through his 3 octave range tenor with ease, effortlessly and so smooth! Bobby (RIP) owns this song. Arguably the greatest live solo performance of all time.

Im a sixty six year old guy and I never get tired of hearing this beautiful song by Bobby Hatfield. I love seeing younger people discovering these classics. Its to bad the video which is excellent pans back right at the epic moment Bobby hits that incredible crescendo at the high point in the song! Sometimes I hear people who are reacting to the song wonder how they could stay still and be silent during such an incredible performance. I think because they were recording this performance the audience was instructed to remain quiet. I wish I could teleport back in time and be able to sit there in the front row and be blown away by the most epic vocal performer’s performing one of the greatest love songs ever. To put the song into context it was written for a prison movie in 1958. That would explain the lyrics of the song. Timeless I only wish Bobby Hatfield was still with us so he could see how people of this generation love and appreciate his incredible talent and the beautiful music he and Bill Medley gave us!

I have never heard anyone equal it in any song. There are a lot that came close to the bar but None is better than Bobby. He earned the gold medal of all time for male singers.

[@kathleenmenker3853]

I started thinking of this song as “Our Song” shortly after my husband and I got married in 1966. He wasn’t much for dancing, but always reached for my hand anytime this song was played because he knew how much I loved it. He passed away almost 15 years ago and the tears always start as soon as I hear the first notes of this beautiful memory.

[@Arthur-xr2jf]

I had the pleasure of seeing the Righteous Bros. in person, back in the day. They sounded just as good live as they did on record. (LP-long playing albums). Glad you enjoyed his performance. If you can find the original performance on the Andy Williams Show, Andy interviews them before Bobby Hatfield sings. By the way, I love how you articulate your thoughts. You're obviously very educated and wise. Love your warm eyes and beautiful smile. Thank you for your tender and insightful reactions.

Great reaction. Just to let you know, you made a lot of sense, and what you said was spot on. There are 2 Righteous Brothers who are the duo, and they both have fantastic voices. Their voices are distinctly different, but they blend together like a hand in a well fitting glove. If you do another reaction, I would recommend doing one where they are singing together. I think their best and most successful song was You've Lost That Loving Feeling.
