you also had plenty of talented artists that did not get a record deal. Today you have 99.99999999% absolute and utter garbage, but the remaining specks of dust contain artists that should have gotten record deals in the 60s and 70s, but wouldn't have. Neither system is perfect.

My favorite KZbin reactions are youngsters discovering the pure raw talent of the 60's, 70's, 80's. No matter who you are or what genre your music is, its always a stunning reaction on just how good that music is. Great reaction!

[@krazycatz]

I think it’s wonderful that so many young people are interested in listening to music that might not be considered fashionable today. When I was a teenager in the late 1970s and early 1980s I would listen to the latest top 40 radio stations with my friends. At home I also enjoyed listening to the oldies station, big band swing, jazz, classical, opera, country, etc

[@MrGadfly772]

Yeah, it's amazing to see young people realize that songs were once sung with passion and skill and not merely created and tweaked by machines.

[@user-tx6hl9fx4x]

Been busting my ass for years since I got out of the Military (1977-1990) and rarely listened to much music since I think The Music Died after the 80's. I rarely got on a computer until after I had back surgeries 4 years ago. I started watching Reaction Videos because one day I saw a Video of a girl they were calling Janis Reincarnated (Courtney Hadwin). I get a kick out of young kids watching the music of my time and saying now I know why my parents and grandparents ❤ this music. Then I found The Warning and Others. Maybe there is HOPE!

[@Bullzeye1000yds]

​​​@@krazycatz Me too. My Dad spent our vacation money, in 1965, on a GE Console 300 true watts, all transistor stereo.. Nat King Cole, John Gary, Ed Ames, '40s Big bands, Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller, old Western bands, etc. I started buying the '60s bands, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, all of 'em! I've STILL got that stereo! Perfect sound. No distortion. They don't make 'em like they used to applies to so many things. My grand kids LOVE it!

[@nicajames4586]

[@davidworthen4250]

I challenge anyone to deny these guys talent, it can't be done.

[@rogershore3128]

No it can't.....

[@snowflakehunter]

While the vocals were live, there were many times a band member was unable to make to a performance. In that event, a recorded version of that band members part was substituted. This is not a knock on the singers themselves, but they definitely did use prerecorded instrumentals in some cases. In extreme cases the whole performance was "mimed" as it was called back then. So yes, they did lip-sync in extreme circumstances. I stand by that because it is factual. But their talent is undeniable.

[@krazycatz]

You should also remember that even if they had performed live a sound engineer could have removed the live performance and replaced it with the studio recording for a show that was not aired live.

[@ohbejuankenobi663]

Since Prince passed I think there is little if no talent in music

[@davidp8035]

At 71 here, I absolutely love watching someone, a couple of generations removed, seeing these raw footages for the first time. Not just the sheer, un-Autotuned audio, but the lyric quality of the music back in the day. If you just watch Lily Jane's reaction, you could see it in her eyes before she even broke in with a comment. Good observations by her on the talent level it took back then to break in, compared to a lot of today's stuff.

[@WILTALK]

Yes, it brings back the memories of listening to the Rightous Brothers for the first time as well.

[@waynebryant1857]

I was waiting for the eighty year olds with the only word they know,”auto tune “.

[@anonagain]

@@waynebryant1857 You don't have to be 80 to recognize it's true. Autotune/Melodyne and all the other software used to correct a singer's pitch remove the subtle emotional effects that real singers work years to perfect - vibrato, glisses, bends, tremolo and intentionally singing flat or sharp. Then the timing gets adjusted note by note because they can't keep a steady rhythm. Then it gets squashed with over compression that removes the dynamic variations, and a limiter to correct volume for singers who don't know how to control their dynamics. I guess it doesn't matter because 90% of todays singers couldn't do those things anyway. There's one popular singer that I won't name who can't do vibrato so she actually has a producer add it on the computer. SMH. These guys had talent, but they also practiced and rehearsed hours on end to achieve the performance we hear on this song.

[@patrickramsey2321]

[@krazycatz]

I once had a copy of the British top ten songs for every week between 1954 until 1977 which was based on record sales. Before 1954 the charts were based on the sales of sheet music which meant that people had to perform the songs themselves or know someone who would perform it.

Sheer talent. Lily, you talk about people paying dues and honing their craft to try to make it big. One of the back-up singers on this was a young lady working as a session singer and trying to get her big break. Her name was Cherilyn Sarkisian. She nowadays is known by just one name. Cher. Love your reactions. The 50s and 60s were great musical times. I think though that the 70s may have been the best. The decade of the singer/songwriter. Try some Carole King, James Taylor, Jim Croce. Also for some great vocals from the 60s give Jay and the Americans a whirl. Songs like Cara Mia or Come a Little Bit Closer. Lead vocalist Jay Black had an incredible voice. Enjoy!

The number of times that I danced to their music with a beautiful woman in my arms brings tears to my eyes. I remember a life long relationship with one woman that started when we were 14. We would lose touch & reconnected. At one time she was a Las Vegas dancer before becoming an trial attorney. The last couple of yrs., she would call me once or twice a week. She shipped a puppy to me to love a couple of yrs. before she died of Covid. Hearing the Righteous Brothers really brings back "those lovin' feelin'" we had. Thank you.

[@duanelavely5481]

While I went & got married for my 1st time, enlisted, & volunteered for service in Viet., the lady mentioned above had taken a job dancing in a casino in the Bahamas. One day I got a highly decorated envelope in the mail & it was from her. She continued to write to me thru out my service in Viet. In contrast, my wife had divorce papers mailed to me in Viet. Believe it or not, I went to Sydney on R&R arriving on Jan. 1, 1969. Of course I met a girl & managed to obtain an additional 1 week leave to see her again before I returned to the USA. I stayed at her parents home in Caringbah. We continued to write to each other & eventually I proposed. We were married in the main Presbyterian church in downtown Sydney. It was quite fancy. All of the men wore "morning coats". Unfortunately, I was still in the service & she had never been away from home let alone half way around the globe. We were stationed in Florida but even that couldn't make up for the distance & she returned to Australia. I often wonder about her. I've live a long life with great memories & many regrets. Thanks for taking the time to "Reply". I hope nothing but the best for you. @@wendyryder2708

[@krazycatz]

It’s actually not just the youth of today but actually started decades ago in the 1980s 1990s or even before then. It started off with someone who wanted to make it in the industry and rather than practicing their respective craft whether it’s playing a musical instrument or singing they decide they’re going to become famous by trashing their instruments on stage because that’s how some celebrity they admire behaves and they believe that is what will make them famous and get a contract with the record label. What they fail to realize is that record label is only willing to put up with that celebrity’s behavior as long as that celebrity is bringing in profits for the record label. Once that celebrity stops bringing in money for the record label they are out the door forever.

72 years old here. For me, the most amazing thing that we (guys) got from the Righteous Brothers was the opportunity to hold a girl's body tightly against ours. When you were a 16 year old boy at that time, the slow dance was your chance, so you screw up your courage and ask a girl to dance. Some girls were a bit stiff, but some would melt right up against you. Jackpot! Sweet memories. Life is different now.

In the 20th Century. This was the Most Played and Requested Song on the radio. It landed in the Guinness Book of World records. A bit of trivia. Superstar Singer and actress (Cher). Was one of the backup singers on the stage behind the Righteous Brothers before she hooked up with Sonny Bono to become "Sonny & Cher." The Righteous Brothers are one of the reasons why I consider the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll Music history.

[@russallert]

Your remark about people nowadays making their music online and sending files for others to overdub, rather than interacting together to make music, is pretty spot on. When The Righteous Brothers recorded this song in 1964, the instrumental backing was recorded in one room with all the musicians present - they were part of the top group of studio musicians in L.A. called The Wrecking Crew. Bill and Bob (the two "brothers") then overdubbed their vocals later, but it was in the same studio with the same producer (the infamous genius psychopath Phil Spector - brilliant producer, evil human being) and same engineering crew.

[@domitype]

During Covid lockdown some of the bands I have been in were so desperate to do something-anything to keep playing, just to keep from going crazy! The internet software for massed rehearsal or recording was not there yet, but the band wizards managed to put some things together with click tracks.

I grew up with these two. Bill is from Santa Ana, CA and Bobby is from Anaheim, CA. I live in the town in between, Garden Grove. Bill started with a group called the Paramours in the early 60s, which was an all-Italian band. My aunt used to date the guitar player. Bill was the only non-Italian because he sang so well. They gave him some crazy Italian sounding ending to his last name. They used to play at a small club outside of Marine Corps Air Station El Toro when Bobby joined. They harmonized so well together, they went off on their own.

You are a delight, and as a senior citizen, I appreciate your appreciation for this never to be forgotten duo.

Thanks for recognizing the talent that was needed “back in the day”! Thank you.

Really well considered and well articulated reaction .. I love these guys but you made me consider even more reasons to appreciate their artistry. Bravo! Thanks for the reaction!

I so much appreciate your comments and how you convey how this song had you realize the fact of commitment. No autotune back then. Thank you.

One of my altime favorites. When I was a teenager I listened over and over until I wore the record out! Lol

I am an 87 year old widower after losing my beloved wife of 63 years. We go back to the 50's when the best music was written an d performed without all the gimmicks of today on pure talent alone. Some more artists you should check out are The Platters (Only you &The Great Pretender) The Five Satins (In The Still of The Night & To The Aisle). Great Doo Wop. Too many to list as that was the greatest era in music history. I watch music on Utube and I have seen so many young people like you remark how much they enjoy the music of that time.All of the Great classics go back to that time.

It got even more popular on top gun. "Crashed and burned maverick."

Talent. Vocal Range and *pure concentrated passion* to the art.

Separately they both had fantastic voices, together they became something sublime. Almost as if they shared a third voice.

I’m 77 and graduated high school in 1965. Back then we were captivated by such a variety of music from the Beatles to the Temptations, Janis Joplin to Franky Avalon. The Righteous Brothers were a combination of many stiles rolled into one. One of the biggest differences in yesterday and today is our love for all music and the romance music gave us. I don’t believe there wasn’t a girl in high school that didn’t have at least one album much less a collection of Johnny Mathis and Elvis! My favorites were The Rascals, (we knew them as the Young Rascals), The Righteous Brothers and Aretha Franklin. Although little portable radio was always on where ever I was and I listened to everybody like James Taylor to Jimi Hendrix. I even took it in when I took a shower that was my singalong!
