@@billyleatherman2572 known as a counter tenor, 5 octave range according to Fil, the analyst at Wings of Pegagus. Elvis, pffft, this is Bobby's song. He made it his own, like he did with everything he sang. I never appreciated his amazing talent when I was young, but now, I realise how lucky we were to have singers like Righteous Brothers, Everlys, Roy Orbison, Tom Jones and all the others. We were surrounded by such angel voices, we never knew we were living in a golden age.

[@lauracwhitney]

One of the most magnificent performances in history. I am 77 and remember so clearly when we all were first hearing the Righteous Brothers on the radio. Back in those days, singers were first introduced on radio. Then as more and more radio disc jockeys were playing them, they were seen on television and concerts and album covers. We were all astounded because we had assumed they were black gentlemen. That was not racist, it was just because nobody was accustomed to hearing that miraculous sound coming from a white gentleman. Even after all these decades later, I still get the chills of amazement and tears of emotion when I hear and see Bobby Hatfield perform this on the Andy Williams show. This has never been equaled.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Yes, this guy, Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, is the same one who recorded "Unchained Melody," the version that is in the movie "Ghost." Although what you're hearing in this video is one of those rare examples in music when a LIVE performance is actually BETTER than the studio recording (which is the version you heard in the movie). But they're both the same guy. This is one of the most remarkable live performances ever captured on video. From NBC-TV's "The Andy Williams Show," broadcast in 1965. Andy Williams was, himself, a singer of remarkable skill, although he was from the older generation. This was one of the few songs that only ONE of the two Righteous Brothers sang. Bobby did this one solo. His partner in the Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley, is a bass baritone, while Bobby is a high tenor with a remarkable falsetto range, as is clearly evident in this performance. The two of them together make magic. Check out their hits "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration." You will be blown away.

Andrew Rout - I’ve thought about it, if only to show these reactors what songs to react to. So many of them pick songs nobody’s ever heard of, or the right song but by the wrong artist, etc. i spent 35 years in top 40 radio, so I pretty much know what songs were hits and what songs weren’t.

The studio version is the one you hear in various movies and television films. They are all sung by the same artist [above] named 'Bobby Hatfield' (1940-2003). This live performance of composer Alex North's (1910-1991) and lyricist Hy Zaret's (1907-2007) "Unchained Melody" was written for a prison movie titled "Unchained" (1955). Hence the title of the song. This live television performance in 1965 is considered one of the greatest performances by a singer and an orchestra ever!. With just this one performance Bobby Hatfield has solidified his legacy as one of music's greatest "Tenors." And left us all with a performance that will stand the test of time. (55) years ago and this epic performance still amazes, and mesmerizes everyone who hears it. Rest in peace Bobby Hatfield for you gave us all a memorable and lasting performance that will live forever....

This is one of the greatest single performances ever captured. Absolutely stunning.

[@imweakfordeaky]

Bobby Hatfield : Melting women’s hearts (and other things) for the last 55 years. The Righteous Brothers were Bobby (seen here) + baritone Bill Medley . To see the “brothers” (not actually related) together, try “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” live performance (Best Quality). The reason you see only Bobby in this song is that The Righteous Brothers had a policy of having each one do a solo song on every album. When this song came up for grabs, they both wanted it...but Bobby won the coin toss and recorded it, and fate was sealed. (Bill later admitted to being glad Bobby won the toss, because his rendition became *that* iconic).

@@danechristopher2687 the first version I ever heard was in the 50s by an old English bloke called Jimmy Young, who was a radio DJ in my day but started out as a 'crooner' then Bobby took it and made it his own. Even though that Elvis guy had a shot at it, he didn't come close, even if his fans disagree ;)

[@nadogrl]

Not “the original”, but he made it famous in the 60’s! This live version is even better than the studio version.

[@johntrench]

Bobby Hatfield put his whole heart and soul into this live performance, making it different from the recording of this song he made earlier, because his parents were in the audience, and he wanted to make them proud. He hit it straight out of the ballpark, giving one of the finest live performances ever, smooth and polished and full of sincere emotion and soul. He set the bar stratospherically high with this one. By the way, he was a countertenor. None of his notes were falsetto, they were all part of his amazing natural range. That is why, when you watch his face in the closeups, he doe not look like he is trying as you pointed out, you can see he is totally relaxed and singing effortlessly. A truly rare talent.

Anyway my point is that after many many reactions viewed YOU are the first person I have ever seen that clearly feels the as strongly about this song as myself. I cannot thank you enough. Honestly I feel like I owe you something for this. I know that probably sounds absurd but I needed to see someone else being swept away by this like me.

In case no one told you since the video was published 3 years ago, Bobby Hatfield was a very rare voice called a counter tenor. Most men with his vocal range and skill were Italian opera singers from centuries ago called castrati, meaning that they had been castrated to preserve the voice. Bobby had a 4 and a half to 5 octave range and had extremely good control that allowed him to produce notes and change between notes while singing that usually only classically trained opera singers have. He had no real formal training.

The Righteous Brothers are Bobby Hatfield (seen here singing "Unchained Melody"" on "The Andy Williams Show" on NBC in 1965) and Bill Medley. Most of the time, they sang songs together. On each album, each of them sing one song alone. Both of them wanted to sing "Unchained Melody", so they flipped a coin to decide, and Hatfield won the coin toss, and recorded the song in the recording studio. "Unchained Melody" was a song originally sung in the obscure 1955 prison drama, "Unchained". It has since been covered by THOUSANDS of music artists and groups around the world. To see both Righteous Brothers singing together, check out their performance of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", which was also an enormous hit for the duo in 1964. Also, to see The Righteous Brothers singing less formally, check out their TV performance with The Blossoms (an African-American female singing trio), singing the Ray Charles song, "The Night Time (Is The Right Time)".

This is Bobby Hatfield, one of 2 "Righteous Brothers". The other is Bill Medley. If you saw the movie Dirty Dancing, Bill sang the theme song as a duet with Jennifer Warnes. The story goes that some black Marines saw them sing live at a show, and said "You're righteous, brothers", which is where they got their name. In this particular show, Bobby's parents were in the audience seeing him perform live for the first time. He was apparently a lot more nervous than usual, but he killed it in this performance. 1965, no autotune, live on stage - you had to have actual TALENT to sing back in the day.

Van. This was used in Ghost. It was him singing but was a studio version. This is Bobby Hatfield. His partner is Bill Medley. They are usually a duet, but when a song came along that they felt was best as a solo they did that. Well both boys wanted to do this so they flipped a coin. Bill was in the audience for this song along with Bobby's Mom. They got their name from a young black marine at a concert in California. After a song the guy yelled That was righteous brothers. The guys heard it and liked it. Bobby suffered from stage fright but you'd never know it. This has been called the greatest live pop vocal performance of all time. Also the Righteous Bros. had another big hit that Bill sang lead on. That was called You've lost that loving feeling. It's the song Tom Cruise sang to the girl he was trying to pick up in the bar in Top GUN.

To hear them both, try "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" with the bass half of the duo. This one is the tenor.

When you hear this song in movies, it is the same person, Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers, but it the studio version heard in movies.

He's fly. Blue eyed soul. Sung by an angel.

Highly recommend “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling”...you’ll get to see the Brother(s) then.

Yep, im a big Elvis fan but even i have acknowledge this is the superior version. The Elvis version shows how great his voice was even at the end of his life but this is the best vocal performance that suited this song. A masterpiece.

This guy had 10 times the vocal talents of Elvis. Elvis had the moves Bobby had the voice. Elvis actually released a cover of this song not long before his death. But it wasn't even close to being as good as Bobby's version.

The song was written for a 1955 movie called Unchained, about a guy in prison who couldn’t wait to get back to his girl. The guy who wrote the lyrics refused to put any of that stuff into the song so it became a general love song, sung by many before the Righteous Brothers did it .. but nobody else did it like this, altho many other singers covered the song later (including Elvis) and based their versions of it on this version by The Righteous Brothers ... It is a solo song, but the Righteous Brothers were a duo so they flipped a coin to see who was going to do it, and Bobby Hatfield won. The other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for the studio version as well as for this performance AND he played piano while Bobby was singing .. so it was still a team effort. Bobby sang another version for the movie “Ghost “ and this revived interest in the 1965 version (this one) which was then re-released. The Righteous Brothers and this song made history by having two different versions of the same song in the Top20 of the charts at the same time, competing against each other!

Your reaction at 9:17 is priceless. Loved how blown away you were. Trying to hit the note and hearing it right after. Good stuff!

In 1964 the term "Blue Eyed Soul" was coined because of the Righteous Brothers. They started out in Southern California. They had trouble getting gigs in the early 1960's because theaters, clubs, etc. thought they were black. But they started getting gigs in black clubs. Sometimes when they showed up they were kicked out for being white, but some of the clubs let them go on stage. When allowed tho perform the crowds loved them.
