Bill and Bobby went the extra mile by frequently modifying their hits for concerts, recordings and TV appearances. I've heard at least four different versions of this song, including one by Bill. IMHO, the boys from Anaheim were great arrangers and producers as well as singers, and were topnotch professionals, as was their buddy Elvis.

Many of today's younger people may think this is corny, but this man had a voice designed in heaven. There is no one, really no one who will ever surpass this. He even had a bit of a cold on this show. It's from the Andy Williams show in 1965.This should be the Anthem of the universe.

Their eyes light up when they realize they actually HAVE heard it, and just did not know it. Obviously, this didn't happen here, but there is still just as much, if not more, of a thrill to watch somebody witness perfection for the first time.

Yes, this was a live performance and Bobby said he wanted to have a perfect performance because his mother was in the audience. HE FREAKING NAILED IT! He couldn't have made his mom prouder! Bill Medley, the other Righteous Brother, was asked why he let Bobby do this song solo and his answer was classic! He said, "I didn't know it was going to be a HIT!" Boy, was he surprised. Also, this song is from a movie called "Unchained", about a guy in prison waiting on the day he could return to his true love. Hence the name "Unchained Melody". Great reaction video again!

This TV performance was in 1965, but the song was "born" for a 1955 prison movie titled "Unchained." You may also listen for it to be played in the movie "Ghost." The imagery of the lyrics can't be beat (well, maybe some of Hank Williams Sr. songs win the top spot) and, as y'all say, the delivery here was without peer. Glad you introduced your Daughter to this music, Mom!

Bobby Hatfield was a contra tenor, the rarest of all singing voices. Every note that he demonstrated in this song looked effortless for him because it was, the full range you heard in this song was totally natural for him. Look at his face and his posture: stress free, relaxed, just a smooth flow. 100% natural voice, natural control, natural talent, no computer tricks or enhancements. Very few vocal artists match him, before or since. One of the acknowledged finest vocal performances of all time, with one of the top ten finest and most romantic songs of all time. There were many covers of this song, from the time it debuted in the little known prison movie “Unchained”, to the modern day. His live performance is still considered the best ever. He took total possession of that song, and made it forever his. He is truly missed.

This is what singers of yesterday year such as Bobby performed like, whether live or in the studio, it was all talent to sing like he does. If auto-tune was used on this song, it would take away all the emotions that come from the various sounds and techniques that Bobby uses, and it would sound bland or oh-hum. The more people of today get to view, listen and react to singers of yesteryears, they will appreciate how talented they were in those eras.

​@@generationgapreacts ​​ The Wall of Sound is how the instruments were used. Why have 1 guitarist and overdubbing several times when you can have 3 or more playing the exact same thing simultaneously. The same for all the other instruments. Each instrument has a different sound and their sounds, I guess, bleed into each other. However, none of that has anything to do with Unchained Melody. Bill Medley produced it for one of their albums. Spector was only interested in hit singles. No one knows why he used it for the B-side of Hung on You. He wasn't a happy camper when Unchained Melody became a huge hit, but he had no problem taking credit for it.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that is a display of pure talent at its finest, no autotune ever used. I was fortunate to see Bobby back in the 70’s at the old Academy of Music on 14th St in NYC. The show was billed as the Righteous Brothers with several other acts as was common in those days. The promoter billed it as the Righteous Brothers however Bill Medley wasn’t there. When Bobby was introduced the crowd booed because he was alone, he explained it was the promoter, however the crowd wasn’t happy, that was until Bobby sang. Bobby delivered one of the finest vocal performances I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen many. Record or tape doesn’t do Justice to live performance and this night in NYC, Bobby blew the roof off the theater! Bobby did “Unchained Melody” as an encore and the place exploded!! Thank you ladies for reacting to this beautiful song and jogging my memory of that evening!

OK. Stop making me tear up. Sheesh, to see your first time reaction to this was emotion filled for me. Thank you! Soul Inspiration is the Righteous Brothers that I recommend you react to. I love you two so much and I'm so happy you decided to do this. Keep being amazing!

Remember this is at a time when the country is experiencing a draft. Our young men where being sent to Vietnam. This song became very special to the men leaving behind their loves.

Another great duo who really are brothers is the Everly Brothers. Songs like "All I have to do is dream", "wake up little Susie", " Bird Dog" and "Cathy's Clown" just to name a few.

Love seeing your reactions, which is why so many of us watch these reaction videos. As you said, it is a flawless LIVE performance of a timeless song. It is so poignant if you know the context. It is about a prisoner who is in great anxiety over whether time has changed his wife's love for him (I'll be coming home, wait for me). It is really moving, bring tears to one's eyes. FYI, this was sung in a 1955 (I believe) movie about the man's time in prison. The Righteous Brothers, especially Bobby Hatfield, made it very popular. It has been covered hundreds of times by a multitude of artist.

I've listened to this song since it came out a thousand times & like you I still get chills. This is considered one of the best live TV performances ever. Great reactions & really enjoy how you really take the song & incredible vocals in. You can't go wrong reacting to any Righteous Brothers songs. Their music library is large from their Moon Glow Record label album to the Verge & MGM record labels. Videos of "Soul and Inspiration" and the Ed Sullivan TV show where they sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" are great. They did solos too like the recordings of Bobby singing "Ebb Tide". "Stay With Me Baby", "Sentimental Reasons". The baritone Bill sings lead on the bluesy "I Wanna Make Love To You" & he has a video from the Playboy After Dark TV show I love that he sings his "Brown Eyed Woman" with the Blossoms singing backup. Bill Medley is still performing at age 82 with a new partner Bucky Heard. Saw them 6 months ago in CA & the auditorium was packed. Bobby sadly died in 2003 shortly after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Blue Eyed Soul Lives On. Enjoy the ride.

ps I'm normally not into the country music genre but I do recommend you hear Chris Stapleton perform "Tennessee Whiskey" live at the Austin City Limits. That's his wife Morgane singing backup with him.

This was known as Blue-eyed Soul back in the day. Bobby had a great range from Tenor to Countertenor (not falsetto, falsetto is breathy and straining). This performance was not only live (on the Andy Williams Show), he had a head cold, his mom and dad were in the audience and had never heard him sing live before and he was worried about getting that top note at the end. Nailed it! That little grin at the end says so much! This song was also used in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. I tear up every time I hear it, and I've heard it a lot! So nice to see it through your eyes. Makes it even more special. These guys got their name from the Marines (specifically the Black Marines) at El Toro Marine Base in Southern California. After the songs they would yell "That was righteous brothers! And it stuck!

“Blue Eyed Soul” was a term created BECAUSE of Bobby. He is the reason the term exists.

Lordy I love you two reacting together. I am a 65 yr old grandma & practically grew up listening to this music with my older cousins. I listened to them on a record player that played singe 45’s or what we called 33Albums (you kids call them Vinyls now). NOW THAT WAS MUSIC WITHOUT ANY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. And I have they had beautiful voices that sounded even better than their recorded music.

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on a piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance. Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

I get so moved myself even after having listened to this song at least a hundred times. It is my hubby's and my song, and I played it many times when he served in the Vietnam War. When you teared up, I teared up! STOP THAT! Just teasing. I love that you and your mother can show such emotional connections to the great, iconic performances!! You describe your reactions so articulately- nailing them time after time. Keep on-- I'm with you!
