FIRST TIME REACTING TO Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody [Live -(1965) | UK REACTION!🇬🇧

[@jamesjackson2875]

"That man can sing." Says it all.

[@Jessedog11]

and his Mum was in the audience and was the first time seeing her son Perform. There is so much wonderful music in our world, im so happy to see a younger generation open up and enjoy it.

[@Ozarkred1945]

As a retired R&R DJ, your "I'm so happy to see a younger generation..." is what I have written on many occasions. Bill and Bobby had no peers when bobby was alive. And, their music stands alone, untouched by time. It is only the best.

[@governmentflu81]

Always love seeing younger minds finding old school.

Amazing how over 50 years later this performance still leaves people speechless....

[@54nomore]

My goodness the Orchestra and the late great 'Bobby Hatfield's' voice created one of the greatest live television performances ever in the history of 'Live' television. This great performance done back in (1965) 58 years ago on the 'Andy Williams Show' was one for the ages. It was an epic performance...

[@pcraig1383]

That live orchestra killed it too! nice reaction!

[@DanielFrost21]

No one has ever covered this song better than Bobby Hatfield, not even Elvis.

[@susanhilton3436]

That is because it was Bobby's song

[@DanielFrost21]

@@susanhilton3436 Yes, in a manner of speaking, it belonged to him.

[@JamesWatheist]

Some songs just seem to be tailor made for one particular soners voice, so is true with this. Elvis did a good job with this but he just couldn't cone close to the way Bobby Hatfield nailed this.

[@johnharris8191]

@@susanhilton3436 True it was but Elvis could not match him on this one.

[@selmer862]

​@@susanhilton3436 No, it dates back to the 30s or 40s, I believe. There's a video of the history of the song, with earlier versions, somewhere on KZbin Bobby owned the song. No one else came close. Interestingly, Bobby was sick and running a fever but came out to sing anyway. You would never know!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

OMG the late Bobby Hatfield! I was 15 years old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song and no one sang it like he did. No auto tunes just pure raw talent! RIP Bobby! We miss your beautful voice! 💖 ❤️ ♥️ 💖

[@selmer862]

I was 14 that year. It was a great time for music, wasn't it?

[@brucecronin6396]

YES, "He can sing" !! Loved watching you enjoy this performance. Your eyes told the whole story. When you glanced into the camera we got a glimpse of how much you really enjoyed it. Keep it up !!

[@thepunadude]

CHIKA: REMEMBER 1/ HES DOING THIS LIVE & 2/ THERE IS NO SOUND/VOICE 'ENHANCEMENT, THIS IS RAW TALENT, 60YRS AGO!

[@danieldickson8591]

Microphones from that era were connected by cords. They didn't contain transmitters and batteries, so were much smaller.

[@zanhar7688]

The mic is small because it’s the pedestal mic …. But also because there were no fancy electronics in it - it simply connected the singer to the amp. Bobby’s recorded vocal range was B2 to E6 so this song was not a stretch for him, and his partner Bill said they never did figure out how high he could actually reach.😊

[@lindalandry2519]

Beautiful Bobby Hatfield with his talent and blue eyed soul. We boomers were fortunate to have him and music like this. RIP Bobby you are missed.

[@j20tower]

Your right when you say pure talent. I was 15 when he did this on the Andy Williams Show. I think one of the greatest live performances of all time. It was also brought back in 1990 in the movie Ghost. Many generations get to hear the talented Bobby Hatfield. His vocal range is unmatched. Many have covered this beautiful song but your listening to the gold standard. If you want to hear more song by the Righteous Brothers try the song that was the most played in the 20th Century “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” also try there #1 hit “Soul and Inspiration”. Also “Rock And Roll Heaven. Thank you

[@bernie5866]

Fun fact: later, but during the show, Andy Williams revealed that Bobby Hatfield was dealing with a head cold.

[@barnowl5774]

Bobby Hatfield had a big voice range from B2 to E#6 and was a counter tenor.

[@patrickwhite4595]

Chika the mike he used was a stage mike, one used for introductions. The mike he was to use was at center stage, Bobby just took it from Andy Williams and started singing. I enjoyed your reactions.

[@navagate1900]

Bobby said he was a little nervous because his mom was in the audience. This was a solo song, I think all others have Bobby and Bill. You might want to check out - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin', and other songs they have done.

[@chiiikat.v]

Aw I’ll check it out

[@selmer862]

He had her seated in the first row in front of him. That's her he smiles to in the end. Bobby Hatfield was sick with what was rumored to be a cold, and was running a fever during the performance. Amazing!

[@JefferyMalik-e9t]

The very best!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

The Righteous Brothers consisted of Bill Medley (not seen in this performance) and Bobby Hatfield (who you see performing solo on this song). The two of them helped give birth to the term "Blue Eyed Soul." But until you hear them together, you really haven't heard the Righteous Brothers. Check out their breakout hit from 1964-65, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." It was the most-played single on American radio in the 20th century. And their other big hit, "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration." Bobby also performs solo on another of their big hits, "Ebb Tide." Bobby died in 2003 shortly after theiy were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their performance of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" at their induction ceremony is pretty awesome, even if Bobby's falsetto was pretty much gone by then. Absolutely one of the best duos to come out of the 1960s. Bill now performs with a fellow named Bucky Heard as the Righteous Brothers in Las Vegas, still singing the great Righteous Brothers songs. But without Bobby, it's just not quite the same.

[@Stars333Bright]

This song is about the loyalty of love... and its timeless and wonderful.

[@aaronbarrett9894]

Big love from the left coast of Canada!

[@chiiikat.v]

🙌🏽🇨🇦

[@brucecronin6396]

Love your reaction, to this great performance !! Bobby was a true "Countertenor" and in the last few notes he used his "head voice". He never needed to use falsetto. In this song Bobby uses 21 notes across 2-1/2 octaves. What a SINGER !! Keep up the good work !!

[@mikefoster6018]

I love how he's SO good that it kinda makes me laugh. I feel so happy for him, and it's almost like he arrived down on earth on a cloud with a halo on his head!

[@Hammernms]

Bobby a voice in a million. Rest in peace 🕊️

[@chevy266nova]

Bobby Hatfield, whose the upper harmonies of the pop-soul duo the Righteous Brothers, died In January 2004, in a hotel Kalamazoo, Mich. He was 63 . The initial autopsy found that Hatfield had advanced coronary disease. RIP Bobby, you are missed.

[@timbrom]

I love watching reactions to this, knowing what the finale is going to sound like. Also, do check out the whole clip with the interview with Andy Williams at the beginning.

[@Jack-pu4rf]

There are two brothers, this was a solo by Bobby, almost all of the songs we duet's the other brother was very talented aswell. Together they sung some great songs, this was a great live performance by Bobby, no studio involved here. Brilliant. ❤️ 🇬🇧

[@Robert-jh8yo]

Simply the best. Top shelf stuff.

[@theabcdealer]

This is a longer version of the same clip (from the Andy Williams Show) which includes Andy 's introduction and chat with BOTH Righteous Brothers (who are not REAL brothers, by the way), and provides a joke reason why Bobby (Hatfield) sings this on his own. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIu9oplpdrt9mKc

[@Cooker224]

That pitch on hunger is insane.

[@danastearns7939]

the duet consisted of Bill Medley (deep baritone) and Bobby Hatfield, (RIP) singing here with his 3-octave tenor. Together their harmony is superb. They are not brothers - someone in their early days singing in a club shouted out regarding their performance as "Righteous Brothers" and the name stuck. Also known as "Blue-eye soul". This is a LIVE performance. In 1965 there is no auto tune nor computers to enhance voice/tone/pitch. just pure talent here. Others have covered this song, but Bobby owns it!

[@kevcall]

Shivers at the end

[@badrigravesande6952]

Yes the soloist in this performance died in 2003

[@coffeetalk924]

Hello from California girl! Keep knockin those RV's out the park! Bravo 😁

[@cliffwheeler7357]

It was Bobby's solo spot on the Andy Williams Show. Brother Bill sat that one out.

[@jgates6645]

Yes, there are two of them...the other one has an amazing voice too...try reacting to You've lost that loving feeling by the Righteous Brothers to hear them both! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DRioxvgtxlfMk

[@chiiikat.v]

I’ll check it out

[@64ytb]

You are probably the coolest girl reactor for ths romantic love song i have ever seen. I have watched many ladies reacting to this song and their hearts just melted like an ice cream. Some even tears in their eyes, heart pounding, jaws dropping and all that smiles. But you are just cool and steady. Amazing.

[@elainedixon1954]

I love the song

[@FUBAR1986]

As an old salt, can you see why my generation just can’t connect with today’s music if you can even call it that

[@LillyMarz777]

It's (c)rap.

[@doloreskrisky7710]

While I love the music I grew up with, there are still some fine artists today.

[@madgepins1967]

There are many brilliant artists around these days. You're just closed-minded.

[@pauldavis6390]

Young Lady, look up Tom Jones and listen to and see him in his day and even now. You will love his voice and his delivery. Oh and he sang with people many many people, Elvis (but there are no recordings it was private between them), Stevie Wonder was on Tom's show. He is very much connected with Soul singers from the 60s & 70s. He drove women wild with his voice his delivery and his look. Oh and I nearly forgot he was Knighted so we should call him Sir Tom Jones.

[@HAWK11828]

Love that song!

[@leannehouston2171]

Nice reaction. The Righteous Brothers are Bobby Hatfield (countertenor) and Bill Medley (bass/baritone). They decided that on each album they would each sing a solo and they would also sing a gospel song. They were amazing soloist but their harmony together was breathtaking. You must listen to the following songs Songs together You've lost that loving feeling Soul and Inspiration You'll Never Walk Alone Rock and Roll Heaven My Babe live performance 1965 Little Latin Lupe Lu Justine Songs by Bobby Hatfield Summertime live performance 1965 Ebb Tide I need a girl Crying in the Chapel Songs by Bill Medley Ol man River live performance 1965 See that girl

This song was first heard in a 1955 movie titled "Unchained".

[@thomastimlin1724]

You have been swooned hahahaha. Welcome to the club.

[@darlenefragale6550]

The righteous brothers agreed that each would do a solo song on each album and this was his… this song became the anthem of our soldiers in Vietnam to their wives and girlfriends in hopes they would be there waiting for them when, if, they came home…

[@victorcowboywest]

Bobby Hatfield(8/10/1947-11/5/2003) has the most acclaim and popular version of this song, but you should check out the origin and history of this classic song to hear some some the 1,500 version of this classic song. The proformance started after the interview on the "Andy Williams Show" with his partner Bill Medley.

And to think none of this is altered in a studio any mistakes couldnt be covered up , not many artist can do this anymore .

[@gailcalderone5229]

Bobby sang this by himself because Bill didn't want to record it ...He said it wouldn't be a hit....But Bill was back stage kicking himself....So that's what he said... But they weren't blood brothers... Someone in the South gave them that name so they kept it.....

[@oldmusiclover877]

Please, please, do yourself a favor and listen to the Righteous Brothers sing "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" and (Live) "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling."
