RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS “SOUL AND INSPIRATION” | REACTION

[@jamesgrace8509]

One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@shirleystowe7353]

Blue eyed soul at it's best. Losing Bobby at such a young age SUCKED! EXTRAORDINARY TALENT. TIMELESS

[@lindakoschwitz7370]

😪

[@wbl5649]

A hundred years from now this song will still be a classic

[@ZEZERBING]

Well, we're half way there now.

[@Mark-iv7np]

Yr definitely, unequivocally correct. It's a masterpiece.Check out Bills. Brown Eyed Woman at the Playboy Mansion. It's awesome

[@Mark-iv7np]

Check out when Bill did Brown Eyed Woman solo at the Playboy Mansion. Incredible! The backup group was The Blossoms with Darlene Love. One of my all time favorite singers. Take my advice especially now I'm a music historian.

[@johnanderson8624]

@@ZEZERBING thanks! that made me laugh.

[@tenhirankei]

As long as the people can hear the music and understand the words it will still be a classic!

[@dawnaberry8452]

Bobby and Bill should be awarded an honorary Grammy. They deserve it for extraordinary achievement. And yes, all of us ladies were crazy for them. I still am!

[@loriar1027]

I’m telling you this is a song to melt any woman’s heart.

[@ericanderson8886]

soul has no color, nice reaction.

[@jamelakajamal]

Thank you🙏🏾

[@raymondweaver8526]

Only talent

[@pgroove163]

God give everybody soul,,,

[@OriginalPuro]

It's sad how that has to be stated, I thought it was common knowledge, but no.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

@@OriginalPuro you might find this hard to believe but back in the day soul music was considered a black cultural thing. This was back when I was a kid growing up and yeah I remember it being like that. Sometimes soul was a slang term for people of color. Like a soul brother period that was a very common term back in the '60s. so some of these feelings have carried forward and are hidden today as the verbiage is different. It would be nice if people stopped defining things by race or religion or whatever. Just realize once we're in the ground we pretty much all look alike just some are taller some are shorter some are male some are female.

[@OldJoe212]

I knew you'd love this. If you sang this to your lady, she'd melt. One good thing about being old, I got to hear these guys from the start.

[@TwistedSither]

You're preaching to the choir, man.👍😀

[@OldJoe212]

@JUST ME I was always told that the only thing that fell from the sky was bird shit and fools. 69-70 Vietnam... 11Bravo

[@OldJoe212]

Lucky you!

[@lisacraig7637]

Joe Atwork Hello Joe, my name is Lisa ..., First, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your SERVICE..., and it was VIETNAM; my Uncle Sam served in Vietnam (WOW). I have ‘mad respect’ for those that have and currently serve; especially Vietnam Second, I’m over “50”, loved your ‘One good thing about being old’, I got to hear these guys from the start..., Can you believe I actually HEARD the Righteous Brothers “BEING INTERVIEWED” on the RADIO. I have a PHENOMENAL ‘factoid’ they shared about people thinking they were Black. Third..., I’ve never ‘subscribed’ (until today) as I would LOVE to share FACTOID with everyone. Would you be so kind as to help me ‘how’ ?? REALLY’ want Jamel to get Factoid..., My Best, Lisa

THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF

True blue eyed soul, two amazing voices no matter what.

@I_am_me no, to treat women with respect and be treated with respect

[@carrieorsel1340]

Bill Medley, Bobby Hatfield: our ears have been blessed that these two voices found each other.

[@dawnaberry8452]

Bobby's speaking voice was as beautiful as his singing voice. And yes, we ladies fell in love. I still am.

[@annemariefleming]

No-one could sell a love song like these two could.

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

When someone says white guys don’t have soul I’m like, “either you deaf or you never heard the Righteous Brothers”.

[@shayla-lee]

George Michael! Especially his covers of Stevie Wonder songs! Duets with Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston, Jodi Watley, Steve Wonder himself, Smokey Robinson...RIP George

This song breaks my heart. I miss my Daddy...😥💔 He always played this song for me and my family, Often! A tear creeps down my cheek as I think of him and those special days gone by!💝💖

[@alex124241]

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I'm sorry honey, I understand how you feel there's 2 songs I can't hear anymore after I lost daddy a year and a half ago.

[@kishka7winecountry]

Thanks for loving' the song (66 yr old white dude here who grew up with this!) Welcome to blue eyed soul!

[@susancobb901]

Talent just pure talent. No singers today can even come close. This is when you had to be able to sing. Not use auto tune and do a bunch of takes till you could get it right. These guys did it the right way.

[@kaykenelia5071]

Yes a hundred years they still will be playing this beautiful song

[@acousticshadow4032]

Jamel, You're a good man. And btw, the 60s was loaded with this kind of Soul - white & black.

[@lokisan100]

Absolutely!

[@zelphadecker4953]

We loved it.

[@traceyobrien8410]

It is known as blue-eyed soul.

[@foots-qt4pk]

They do it SO effortlessly!!

[@jamelakajamal]

Too Easy🤣

[@Gizmologist1]

Best of all it was LIVE and in one take.

[@paulsmallriver6066]

If autotune disappeared then so would half of the musicians

[@AliasMark69]

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key 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. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come. 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’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

[@kraybecht3579]

GREATEST DUO EVER. BILL & BOBBY ARE PERFECTION! BLUE EYED SOUL!

[@kacebox174]

Bill had the power, Bobby had the grace, their harmonies had the beauty.

[@TexasMagnolia]

No auto tune, distortion, techno BS. Love music until the late 90’s

[@u4riahsc]

TRUTH!

[@stevejohnson2210]

I'm 40 years old and in my teens my dad had hot rods from the 60's. He only played oldies in those cars. This brought back memories.

Thats it. I think most of the songs in americas top 10 today will be forgotten completley in a year never mind still being played 50 yrs later

[@dawnaberry8452]

Yes, but if not for the 40's and 50's, there wouldn't be the great music of the 60's and 70's.

[@lindanunn6882]

I am a child of the 50s and 60s. This is the music I grew up with. ELVIS. BEATLES. Etc WHAT a Time to be a teenager. We were living History, but at the time we did not know it. It is hard for me to comprehend. That there are people out there who have never heard these Fabulous musicians. God Bless.

[@skishred12]

Such a haunting opening to a song...the backup singers, music, and Bill's voice. Flawless.

[@peterblood50]

When I was in my 20's, (back when dinosaurs ruled the earth) the Righteous Brothers used to play a gig every summer at an old converted sand-pit that was called Sandy Lake. It had a big raft in the middle where you could lay back and listen to the sounds drifting over the water. 🤗 They were an extension of the R&B and soul music of the times. Great groups like "Little Anthony and the Imperials", "Martha and the Vandellas" and the "O"Jays" were all popular with the "hippies" of the 60's and early 70's and we were open to discovering all types of music. (The Beatles played many R&B songs in their early years like "You Really Got a Hold on Me" and "Mr. Postman" which helped open our musical eyes to the sound of soul and they were the light that led many of us into our own musical adventures. One of the reasons they set the bar so high was their intense interest in self-discovering and utilizing music from all over the world.)

[@paulrollings5291]

Jamal should do some Little Anthony. I still sing "Tears on my pillow" almost every day.

[@doloresschultz8393]

They were so good that some overlook others that we listened to like Roberta Flack (esp The first time ever I saw your face), and Jackie Wilson and brook Benton (A rainy night in Georgoa), the great Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald . . . So so many and sòoo darn fantastic❤

[@cathyaudette1060]

This song would melt even the coldest heart! Thanks for posting

[@BelindaTN]

I think the Righteous Brothers may have had something to do with the Baby Boom. ;o)

[@jmmmnliberal8274]

LOL...got that shit right..

[@psw4763]

Definetly for sure

[@karenlee4874]

Amen

[@annastinehammersdottir1290]

No, they entertained the boomers when they were young and likely to make GenXers. Know your cultural history. End of WW2 made the baby boom (1946-1965) when the Righteous Brothers were little kids. They are masterful troubadours of the 20th century.

[@BelindaTN]

annastine hammersdottir The Righteous Brothers began singing together in 1962. During what is considered the baby boom years as you said in your post. Baby boom years from 1946-1965. Both members of the Righteous Brothers were born before the baby boom era. They were both born in 1940. I would be considered of the baby boom generation. Born in 1960. My brother was born in 1964. He could have easily been conceived because of this song. Lol Though the Righteous Brothers were singing toward the end of the baby boom era, they were still singing this song during the time that babies were being born during the baby boom era. I said all if this to say, IT WAS A JOKE with much truth to it! OK????

[@deborawint6299]

I'm old school and I'm telling you that you make my day better with your reactions and pure enjoyment!!!

[@jameshill4598]

When I was young this song was the most played song in history amazing brothers

[@billkacvinsky988]

Some years ago the Righteous Brothers "You Lost That Loving Feeling" was deemed the most played song ever (> 15 BIL) beating out the Beatles "Yesterday".

[@joycemgrimes7657]

For real these guys are right up there with Barry White & All Green with panty dropping music.

[@TheTruthinAstronomy]

I've heard them in concert... I can remember every word to all these songs. I just love watching younger people discover the music my generation grew up with.

[@vincentdominguez418]

Thank you for giving props to the music of my youth! I graduated from HS in 1965 and the Righteous Brothers and many other groups of that time need to be re-introduced to today's youth! It was a time of real voices, talent and music from the heart!

One of the best singing duets of that time and even now. Can't think of a modern duo that leaves such a soulful impression as these guys. /

[@wvob6752]

I loved the Righteous Brother's as an early teen. I never cared for the words but I liked the song. Others during that time were Ronnie Dove, Gene Pitney, Billy Joe Royal and we can never forget the Drifters (one of my favorite groups) Same Cooke, Otis Redding and so many others during those years. Otis Redding is at the top of my list as an exceptional singer and had a God given talent that, in my opinion is unmatched even today.

[@carolcjh8938]

I was born in the 40's, rocked through the 50's and have enjoyed all music from Big Band, Rock n Roll, Metal, Disco, Rap and everything in between. Never cull any music. It's all good! Yeah, I'm old, 76, but I'm forever young when it comes to music. Enjoy your reactions.

[@christopherfranklin1881]

Having been around for a while I remember this song being on the radio all the time. Interesting to see it picking up a new audience 50 years later.

[@Two4Brew]

My dad brought me to see them in 1964 when I was 7, and again in 1974 when they got back together.

[@jacknash711]

Jamal, I so enjoy watching your reactions to these classics. I am 67 yo and we grew up with these classics on the radio every time we turned it on. Can you imagine that. It was nothing to us to hear these, one after another. To us, after growing up with all these classics(we did not call them that but we knew what we were hearing sounded so great and we loved everything that you're loving about them now)can you understand us now when we say thank God we grew up in the music era that we did and when we bristle a little when we say the 80-'s(85-89), 90's and 00's music can't hold a candle to our era(with just a few exceptions). Keep on what your doing. You are my "Soul and Inspiration" now.

[@jerrykmack3074]

I'm 72 and also had a sister 6 years older than me and a mother that was a big band singer during the War. Music was always present in the house and these guy's were at the top of our popularity list and when it comes to Any male/ male Deo the Righteous Brothers are IMO, the GOAT hands down!

[@adamturner8732]

When Bill hits that... "Baaaaabyyyy" no one can do that bridge part no one. He was unbelievable

[@mdb60]

Their words are prophetic. As a man of 57 I grew up listening and loving the Righteous Brothers. As a young kid sneaking a look around the corner watching my mom and daddy dancing in the living room. As a grown man this song meant the world to my wife and I, we’d dance in the kitchen to it as our babies watched and giggled. I lost her June 22 2017... and they’re right ... She was my soul and my hearts inspiration. Now I have these memories and this beautiful song to fall back on. I’m so glad that younger folks are digging the Brothers Righteous. 🙏
