My daddy tried to bring Mama out of her coma with this song... she'd fallen into a coma after surgery for aneurysms... this was THEIR SONG when it first came out. He'd sit there beside her on her hospital bed, holding her hand while he played this cassette over & over... so every time I hear it that’s what I see: Daddy praying at Mama's bedside & holding her hands while this played... Daddy finally joined her in Heaven, but it took 20 more years. Through those last 20 years, I'd catch him still playing it, time to time, when he thought no one was around..

Seems though... less than 10% of US TVs were color yet in 65. NBC started most prime-time to color shows for the 65/66 season. So this 1965 Andy Williams TV Show was recorded and broadcast in color. All 3 networks then.... went to most also color for the 66/67 season. I know as a boy we did not have a color TV until a wealthier relative gave us their first one and that one had tubes and not what was called solid state yet. I remember color between shows to commercials would have radically different color.... you adjusted to decent fleshtones for one show... a commercial came on and had green faces and next pink faces... same for changing stations. That old RCA color had my father complain and want good ole B&W back.... and it kept the TV repair man busy coming to the home to change weakened tubes LOL.

Loads of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his mother was watching him sing live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch when he gets to the high notes at the end. He does not contort his face like other singers do when hitting a high note. He bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.

Kris, you know this from the movie GHOST......the pottery scene and the final scene. This song was originally in an old 1955 little known prison movie called Unchained. Bobby Hatfield is the 4th person to cover this song and he did it his way and it became a hit in 1965. This song got a second life from the Ghost movie and hit the charts for a second time. Unchanged Melody is the most covered song ever with well over 650 covers. Bobby's original recording is what you hear in Ghost. Bobby is a counter tenor with a 4 octave range. He can hit those high notes....no falsetto.....those bare pure notes. Bobby passed away in 2002. His partner, Bill Medley is still performing. In fact Bill also has a song from A famous movie. He sings, I Had The Time If My Life in the final huge dance scene from the movie, Dirty Dancing. Check out The righteous brothers together singing: "You've Let That Loving Feeling". " Soul and Inspiration" "Rock and Roll Heaven" ( videos on all) Bobby was 24 here, was very nervous, had a cold and his mom was in the audience seeing him perform live on tv for the first time. The Andy Williams show was a very popular TV show with a huge viewer audience. Check out Andy Williams, he has an amazing voice: "Love Is A Many Splendor Thing". " Moon River". Andy sang mostly movie ballads. Maybe best know for "Its The Most Wonderful Time If The Year". A Christmas song that's a staple throughout the holiday season and has also been used in commercials. The Righteous Brothers started out in 2 different groups but came together to create a unique sound. They were together for a few yesrs, then split for solo careers. After a few years they got back together and toured all around until Bobby's death in 2002. He died in his hotel room just hours before they were to perform. Check out Bobby's rendition of " Summertime" ( video). And Bill singing "I Just Wasn't To Make Love to You"

The song went relatively unnoticed until recorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1965. This clip is from the Andy Williams Show. Andy was one of the famous crooners from the 50s to 70s era. He recorded 43 albums, 15 of which went gold and 3 which went platinum. Andy is best known for his recording of Moon River.

They actually had just finished singing together, and then host Andy Williams came over to do the interview, which turn out really fun, giving you a sense of their personalities. Andy Williams was a famous singer who had his own TV show for 9 years. He had sung Battle Hymn of the Republic at Senator Robert F. Kennedy's funeral in 1968 [Kennedy was assassinated a month after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr]. Little known fact: In 1964 before the Righteous Brothers became nationally famous, they were asked to be one of the warmup acts for the Beatles USA tour in August and September. they left the tour after a few weeks, they had anew recording contract, couldn't stand all the screaming in the audiences, they couldn't hear themselves. . After that they were off and running with a string of big hits TV and movie appearances. Their kind of music was labeled "Blue Eyed Soul." People of any background loved these guys, the girls used to scream for them almost as much as the Beatles.

They were called "Righteous" because they sang R&B that would knock your socks off.

Their catalog is huge so I hope you get a chance to view as many videos as possible. They never disappoint.

This was done live on the Andy Williams show in the NBC studio in NY city in Oct 1965 with Andy's orchestra & autotune had not been invented yet. The song had been out for a few weeks & was already a hit. Bill & Bobby put a solo on every album & both wanted to sing this song. They flipped a coin to determine who would sing this song. Bobby sang the song & Bill produced the song because Spector was busy with another act. When the song became a hit & they had to make a 2nd pressing of 45's, Spector"s name replaced Bill's as producer. I have a 1st pressing of this song on 45 as well as the album. BTW Bobby was sick with a cold & sore throat. His mother was sitting behind him on the first row raised seating usually reserved for performers or people who worked the show. They had replaced the Osmonds for this show. This was the song played in the pottery scene in GHOST. You also should listen to Bill & Jennifer Warnes' I,VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE from Dirty Dancing. Bobby died in 2003 from a MI brought on by his lifestyle.

Righteous Brothers had several GREAT songs, all over the radio, all the time, and were BIG in Las Vegas, back in the day. This song (sung by Bobby) is now considered the #1 live performance of all time, and is currently #1 most listened to online song, in the world. Bobby was 25 when he did this live, on TV and had a cold. His mother was in the audience, and he was so thrilled that he made it thru, with that cold to deal with! The original song was written about a man stuck in jail..but during the Vietnam era, this was a very, very popular wedding song, as couples were torn apart by the war, waiting to reunite. Check out other Righteous Brothers, singing together, and prepare to be blown away. Bobby has passed away now, but Bill is still around and singing with a new partner. (Many people who heard Righteous Brothers on the radio, were 'surprised to find out they are white folk, not black!) Often referred to even today, as the Soul Brothers.
