First Time Reaction Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (INCREDIBLE!) | Dereck Reacts

[@beckyhofheinz6245]

Kids today have no idea what real talent is...just pure voices, no artifical anything!

[@jennifercoalwood9928]

This is hearing the finest 60s music. It is so pure. I love your reaction as you watched it ❤

[@daveofarrell7795]

Unchained melody "live 1965" is an absolute must, you will, be drooling at the vocals! .

[@melissacaddell2604]

Oh yes. Great song and absolutely unbelievable vocals.

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

My favorite dual! Loved these guys when they came out with their hits! I'm 74 yrs and never get tired listening to them. RIP Bobby Hatfield! You could sing so beautifully!!!

[@kimkelly5512]

I saw them in the 70's loved them, Bill is the bass baritone and Bobby is the tenor they were and are the best!!!!!

[@debbynorsworthy9550]

This was the era of telling a story that is a human experience...

[@lindastodola691]

I was 14 when this came out- my heartbreak go to song-. Love these guys- love. That you found them!!💛

[@angierucinski5694]

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

[@VanessaDeMello-xi4ji]

❤❤❤😊😊 grew up with the righteous brothers!! How I miss their music...but thank goodness for our oldies station here in hawaii!!❤❤❤😊😊

[@sandralorenz1796]

Just a microphone and God given talent. Among those backup vocalists is Cher...yes, that Cher. She was 16 at the time. This was known as Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. You need to listen to EBB Tide and Soul and Inspiration. I was raised with this music when artists had talent and you could understand the words. The audience showed respect by sitting and shutting up and listening.

[@dianeschaffer8571]

We had the best music back then.I was a teen when this came out.your reaction was great.

[@quintfl]

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

[@debbers]

I loved your reaction to this song! I was there the first time around and had basically the same experience you just had, except my first listen was over the radio! Thanks again!

[@nancytamanaha904]

Best music ever in our time.

[@MaryM-xz5fs]

No auto tune.....pure raw talent!

[@James-wv3hx]

The most popular song of the twentieth century.

[@edjohnson7438]

This is the most listened to song on radio and tv in the twentieth century

[@kimprice7211]

Unsung! Classic soul! Your right the music is great and so are the background singers!!!

[@sandraatkins2539]

I am sure many people were shocked when that tall, rail-thin man opened his mouth and emitted such a powerful sound. The ladies fell in love with Bill right away. Bill and Bobby weren't just singing. They were saaaangin' that song!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@karenrussell3326]

Two of the best voices of all time. Bobby Hatfield was amazing singing Unchained Melody.

[@johnlaseter2453]

Love your reaction!! In 1965, no computers, no auto tune. Just them, their talent and microphones.

[@eugeneenslow8563]

THE most requested/played song in the 20th century.

[@michellebarry1555]

They are timeless…I don’t know anyone who doesn’t enjoy The Righteous Brothers.

[@sandyreid4028]

Amazing that's when there were really good singers and good music.

[@arkphoenix340]

Unchained Melody, please, such an Incredible song...

[@valerieh84]

Bill Medley is the baritone and Bobby Hadfield is the tenor. Produced by Phil Spector with his famous ‘wall of sound’: the voices are superimposed onto a rich track including string arrangements. Another good example of this is Tina Turner’s River deep, Mountain high.

[@diannaspang51]

We had great music back then.

[@debbynorsworthy9550]

♥️♥️Its magical!!!♥️♥️

[@Sam-lx9sc]

Most played song of the 20th century

[@bethanyhuber2598]

Ahhhh… The Righteous Brothers! Some incredible music! But then, we had that back then. 😁 Enjoy!!! Great reaction!!

[@britbyname3620]

Yes we did .. loads ! What a time to have enjoyed music of that era ❤ I did

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

These guys did "Rock and Roll Heaven," talking about a lot of greats who were already gone. Well worth a listen.

[@rickjr37]

Wait until you get to “Unchained Melody”,later used in the 1990 movie “Ghost”. This was covered in 1980 by Daryl Hall & John Oates. Bill Medley sang “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” with Jennifer Warnes from “Dirty Dancing”. Cher,alledgely,sings backup here.

[@thequieterubcomethemoreuhe1198]

Love your reactions & real appreciation for the greats! Unchained Melody from The Andy Williams Show, is Bobby Hatfield's untouchable & impossible to improve or exceed in its' mastery! It is better than the studio version, but his is the greatest studio cover ever and no one has or can do it better! Although nervous, because his mom was in the audience, he flawlessly & what looks to be effortlessly, performs a stunning rendition that physically, feels like he takes out your heart, captures your soul & you become the owner of his "soul cry" to his lover in the song's story. At the same time, it becomes your own "soul cry" to your lover if you have ever lived or will live this song's story. It becomes a 'soul cry' that you run to re-live over & over because it is the epitome of sweetest misery & need, that you want & need! It is incredible & timeless & forever relevant! Unchained Melody, (by Bobby), is every woman's dream to be loved so much as this. And it is every man's plea for his love to remember him & wait; when unforeseen & uncontrollable circumstances rain doubt & hopelessness upon their memory & covenant. It is reaffirmed with his promise to return & his plea to wait for him. Fun fact: Cher was one of those background singers in this video, today.! Another must is Soul And Inspiration- Righteous Brothers Phil Specter-Incredible! Sadly, this genius of sound, died in prison. But here is a link to learn a bit about his 'wall of sound'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPQg3Woo7akbtE I hope you react to many songs that he worked on but I absolutely, hope you react to "Maybe" by The Chantels. OhMyHeart-----> "Maybe", may be, another one of those greats that you randomly find yourself singing 10 years from now, out of nowhere & for no reason, except that it is a great song, greatly done! LOL. Also, "Be My Baby"- The Ronettes. Specter produced so many of these for various artists! Have fun. Love your reactions!

[@debbiefoster3025]

We didn’t have stereo yet..we had Hifi that’s why you heard the backup singers in one ear.

[@richardnorman1158]

back when the voice was the centre of a song not over crowded by the music , amazing voices and a great song 60s best years wish i was able to live it

[@marilyngordy3670]

When musicians give a piece of themselves an the soul fills it on a cellular level, its beyond good. Its heavenly sent by God. Thank you for keeping our music alive.

[@jeanduttlinger]

Yes they could really sing!! Loving it!!

[@leannmiller7153]

Fun trivia, Cher was one of the backup singers on the original recording. This was featured in the 1986 movie Top Gun with Tom Cruise, creating another surge of popularity❤️

[@JonathanCalvert-p2c]

love this song.

[@dacryptkeeper6836]

This was the most requested and the most played song on the radio in the twentieth century. Bill & Bobby are still the greatest male duo of all time.

[@kevinsmothers7667]

I was 1 when this came out ,great to live in the 60s and 70s

[@MsUrbangirl]

You are really great! Love my Righteous Brothers!!

[@Pronzini1]

"Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes is an all-time hit.

[@theodorabruin4601]

🥰

[@pamharris2961]

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Mr Bill Medley and his beautiful family. I had the time of my life! 😂

[@Machineheadlilibet]

Oh my heart. ❤ it was my mothers all time favourite.

[@kathleenmenker3853]

Music reactions started popping up on my phone almost two years ago. I was amazed to hear young people being amazed by the wonderful music of my day! I think my generation took it for granted because there wasn’t ( and still isn’t) anything better to compare it to. I can’t wait till you react to Bobby’s solo of Unchained Melody. Be sure to play the whole video of Bobby and Bill chatting with Andy Williams before Bobby sings. You definitely will not believe how amazing his performance is.

[@GIBBO4182]

1:50 seen a few reaction videos…that first “but baby” gets everyone! 😂

[@garrison7888]

Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)

[@SweetThing]

And no auto tune. Check out Bobby & Bill singing "Rock 'n Roll Heaven", "Unchained Melody" & "Ebb Tide" (with Bobby singing solo) and "Soul and Inspiration". Phil Spector is now in jail for murder. RIP Bobby.

[@pzpete]

Arrangement by Phil Spector, the 'wall of sound'. One of the background singers is a lady called Cher...

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

No auto tune & Live! Who can do that??!! These guys were remarkable!!!

[@carolpray9816]

Phil Spector was instrumental in creating what they called the Wall of Sound.

[@NiennaT]

I have never seen a less genuine reaction to any record.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I always looked forward to seeing them on tv way back when. Great song. Also check out Unchained Melody, (Your My) Soul and Inspiration and Rock and Roll Heaven. Great stuff!

[@edhorton2766]

The Grateful Dead, in the early 70's, travelled with what they called their "wall of sound." It was outrageous excess. Enormous.

[@jrwxtx]

This performance is from the ABC musical variety show called "Shindig"--a weekly show with different artists each week. These guys were on often.

[@knightdragon5640]

In case you haven't heard, this Righteous Brothers song was THE most played song of the 20th century!!

[@Liutgard]

This ws released just as few days after I was born. And it gives me chills. Goosebumps. Ooohhh BABY!

[@dianemiller8969]

Love The Righteous Brothers! Pure raw talent! Nice reaction!

[@reezbeest]

You knew Bill Medley already ;-) #timeofmylife

[@janahcoaching]

And they dressed so well...love these gentlemen and their voices.

[@pjfsr7024]

Bobby is a counter tenor and Bill is a Baritone Phil Spector's former wife recently died : you may have heard of her- Ronnie (Veronica Yvette Bennett ) Spector lead singer for the Ronettes.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

This video is a hybrid. You are seeing the visual from a live performance on a show called Shindig and hearing the studio version featuring the trademark Phil Spector "Wall of Sound." When Spector brought the song to them, Bobby was a little peeved and asked, "What am I supposed to do while Medley's singing this song?" Spector's reply, "Go to the bank."

[@helengraves5848]

They are incredible

[@johnpublicprofile6261]

The 60's was the absolute best ever decade for music.

[@StevieWonders2020]

It is the most played record even today....Spector used 3 of each instrument and had a "reverb" chamber in the basement of the studio where all the tracks were played together and then recorded I believe. Wild!

[@mitziesanders9840]

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley allowed themselves solos. Bobby Hatfield’s “Unchained Melody” performed live on The Andy Williams Show is by far one of the best live performances.

[@v.p.stolat1217]

SO DELIGHTFUL !! THANX SUGGESTIONS--TWO REGGAE TUNES (1) "NEWS CARRYIN' DREAD" BY CHRONIXX AND (2) "STEAMERS AH BUBBLE" BY JAH9

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

Thanks for this.

[@thehoogard]

Their voices mix and create that "third" voice that so very few acts have, like Abba and Simon & Garfunkel.

[@jazzlefettie]

‘It’s not always the ‘80’s.’ Truer words have never been said! This ‘60’s is the decade where the ‘80’s performers got a lot of their ideas. I have read that this particular song is the most coveted pop/rock n roll song, ever. Not sure if that is true, but could be! Either way, it doesn’t surprise me that it has been popular for year and years. And with singers of the caliber of the Righteous Brothers, you just can’t go wrong. Those two were amazing!

[@christenagervais7303]

Back when singers had natural talent. No auto-tune with these guys!

[@patricklemeur4607]

une chanson absolument , magnifique !!

[@alaskangirl86]

Growing up I use to watch my Mom and Dad dance to this song... Dad passed in 2007 and Mom in 2014... I miss them both so much...

[@xxChiQuiTitaxx73]

It’s a Phil Spector production , no wonder why it’s amazing. His wall of sound consiste of locking up a musicien with his instrument in a big empty room. The purpuse was to creat an echo, that was going to mutiply the sound. I think that’s wath it was.

[@laminage]

This Song is next to "Stairway To Heaven" the most frequently played Song in The history of Radio. This was from Shindig a Rock & Roll Show from the 1960's. Phil Spector was the first Superstar Record Producer who would later influence Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and Michael Tretow (ABBA's Producer). Brian wrote an Answer Song "Don't Worry Baby" after hearing "Be My Baby". Sadly both Fellows sold their Rights because they didn't think their sound would be popular. When their songs were featured in Ghost, Top Gun & The Wonder Years they didn't get paid. Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound was having Classical Music in their songs. Listen To The Ronettes, The Paris Sisters, The Teddy Bears (that he was a group member in), The Crystals, The Blossoms, Bob B Sox & The Blue Jeans, and Darlene Love.

[@rosemaryallison9411]

Thank you for sharing this song with the Righteous Brothers. I was 14 when they sang that song.

[@sandiadams5471]

I appreciate your reactions and look forward to seeing more. If you like blues the song you should react to is Summertime another one for the solo. One of Bobbys best solos. I hope you get to hear it soon. Thank you so much Dereck.

[@copperhopperwarren4788]

Not only are they the most incredible do oh... This video was taped live with no autotune🤗

[@patricklemeur4607]

PHIL SPECTOR arrangements !!

[@Mark-iv7np]

So glad you enjoyed the Dynamic Duo. I've been a big fan since 1964. Bobby does a terrific solo Unchained Melody. Their other great songs include For once in my Life, Little Latin Lupe LU, Soul and Inspiration. They were both on 🔥 Fire doing Night Time is the Right Time. Hard to believe Bill(deep voice) is 82. He's currently performing in Florida 10 shows with Bucky Heard. Sadly Bobby Hatfield passed in 2003, sadly missed. Keep up the good work.

[@hansjalv]

I have to admit that Dereck has a good ear for analyzing music.

[@raebogard7941]

Love 💕

[@deennaemilio]

Bill Medley has the deeper voice, Bobby Hatfield is the higher voice. Some black marines heard them sing at some gig and said "man, that's righteous, brothers" ... That's where they got their name.

[@s.digennaro7654]

I always have to watch two times. Second time just for your facial expressions 😂 Makes my day

[@jblanton430]

Your comments were good. Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” was innovative and influential. The Righteous Brothers grew up in Orange County, CA. Each recording is a gem. They didn’t clone their songs.

[@stimannzz]

You are one of the best « reaction » guy on KZbin. Great work!

[@carrielaliberte3255]

Such fun to watch your expression! :). These “Righteous Brothers” are amaaaazing! 😊

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

Bill has the baritone voice And Bobby has the high Tenor voice.

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Live and no dubbing or auto tune..... just talent

[@annesmith2259]

I adore synth music sic but this is also one of my favourites

[@sarablack2547]

omg can't believe you haven't done this yet! i've seen other reacters do this and just about all of them thought they were black before the lights shined on them.when bill sings i'd get down on my knees for you women melt.this was sung by tom cruise in a bar to kelly Mcgillis when trying to pick her up in top gun. please do bobby's solo (they used to do a solo song on each album)unchained melody as used in ghost & bill medley with jennifer warnes i had the time of my life the finale dance from dirty dancing.please do the vid from the film.both songs from movies starring patrick swayze rip patrick💔.best quality video i've seen of this ta!

[@joanmayfield4791]

'BRING BACK' high school sock hops! So Dereck did you have an ear worm for 2 days after hearing this? We were all waiting for the steps up to the podium and 'the battle.'

[@RoseRosenberg]

One on my favorite best 60' songs! Next with "What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong or "My Girl" - The Temptations

[@AliT0555]

You think this was good, you need to do Unchained Melody! One of my favorites.

[@martinoliver5325]

You ought to watch the king Elvis Presley doing his version of this song 🕺🇬🇧

[@Pronzini1]

The tall one with the deep powerful voice is Bill Medley, and he is still alive and going strong. The shorter one with the real high voice is Bobby Hatfield who died of an overdose over 20 years ago.

[@alfredkar]

Top gun

[@buchholtzmathieu1810]

Thx a lot. So great reaction, a jam to see you enjoying this gem. Blue eyed soul at its best. Love this song since its issue, incredible, melody, rendition and awsome Spector's wall of sound . A treat! Wall of sound always drove me crazy, today it's still what I'm expecting before I discover a new song. A bunch of 60's arrangers were trying to recreate those outstanding effects. This song is one of the 60's greatest cult songs just like "Unchained melody" (deeply mesmerizing). Others songs I suggest; "Ebb tide" and "He". In the quite same style of music and vocals, it would be very nice and outstanding to discover the trio The Walker Brothers who did several hits with also "Phil SPECTOR's "wall of sound" effects: "The sun ain't gonna shine anymore", (huge worldwide hit), " Make it easy on yourself", the so emotional "Stay with me baby ", "Walking in the rain", "No regrets"., ... They weren't brothers. The lead singer, Scott ENGEL (or Scott WALKER ) was an icon . He deeply influenced David Bowie, (they did duets together), Marc Almond, Jarvis Coocker, Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy) and many more others artists. He did solo albums including many covers of Jacques Brel's songs. .

[@jvbjvb289]

Best song ever
