NO COMPUTERS... NO SYNTHESIZERS...NO LIP-SYNCING... PURE TALENT AND PURE LIVE VOICE!!!!

[@MsAppeljack]

His mother was in the audience behind him, he had the flu and suffered from extreme stage fright. A true professional .

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

I was just going to post the exact thing you posted. You are so very right! I’ve wondered all these years which one she was. A great song and great duo 👏🏻🥰‼️

No gimmicks, no autotune, just had to have pure talent back then and boy did they ever!

[@chuckwilson4186]

That’s his voice and his voice only …NO auto tune … the man is talented …. In fact both men can sing … NO ARTIFICIAL anything … fn talent ! …

[@user-ck8ex5qh6u]

RIP Bobby Hatfield. You were one of the greats!

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

Awww... the late Bobby Hatfield. I was in high school when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song. No auto tunes, just pure raw talent and a live performance! RIP Bobby. We miss hearing your beautiful voice. ❤❤❤

[@Billp19733]

I was a sound engineer. They're using voice, microphone amplification. It's raw talent

[@carolespinoza8469]

Guys, my boyfriend bought me this album in 1965. Next year we got married, I was 16. He was 19. Still married. This has been my song since 1965. Love you 2 💞

[@Kathe255]

Congratulations! I was married for 35 years and I was so proud of that. Unfortunately, I lost my sweetheart last year. He was my heart and soul.

[@tracycuster4833]

My daughter and son-in-law married at 16 & 19.. 4 kids and 27 years later they are still together...

[@user-gn6xu4jl1u]

​@@Kathe255watching from the UK, sorry for your loss. Lovely story.

[@carolmangum7524]

Blue eyed soul! ❤

[@ericholmes5832]

To see them both, “You’ve lost that loving feeling” is good one. There’s a live performance of that one as well.

[@SandraJones-py1bd]

I’ve heard this probably 100 times and still gives me chills.

[@thomastimlin1724]

That's because it is a performance of a lifetime.

[@terrygarcia897]

I watched Elvis do it 856 times. 6 weeks later the king passed away

[@tskend8502]

Pure Talent,No cheating with autotune or pro tools.

[@iowaboy5326]

We will NEVER hear music like this again! 50's thru late 70's was the hey day of great and varied music. Too many great groups to list here.

[@johnpressey5900]

This wasn’t engineered… this was a recorded live performance. He told in an interview, that he was performing with a cold that day. You can hear it in his talking voice, that he was slightly stuffed up.

[@guyray1504]

You said that "yall had nothing back then" . Well yes we did and was called talent with great voices.

[@leannehouston2171]

Bobby Hatfield performed this live on the Andy Williams show. It was right after singing another song. His Mother was in the audience and it was her first time to hear him sing it live so he did his best for her. I say that he hit it out of the park for her, wouldn't you? Bobby said that he was nervous and getting over a cold as well. In my opinion this is the best live performance ever. The passion along with the vocal ability is absolutely jaw dropping if you want to hear his soulful side you need to listen to Bobby Hatfield singing "Summertime" live performance 1965. He will blow your mind. His vocal range and control are phenomenal.

[@Robusphere]

Yeah he was out of breath right before he belted this out!

[@allenpierce4575]

this is the time when the audience had respect for the singers by not making any noise during the performance

[@tskend8502]

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikehammond4323]

This was a tv show (the Andy Williams show) and the audience was directed at times by signs to ‘laugh’ ‘applause’ ‘quiet please’ so a very different vibe than a concert.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Yes, it was the Andy Williams show which was geared toward a more mature TV audience. Apparently, the in studio audience was instructed on proper behavior beforehand. Total contrast was the in studio audience for Shindig; those girls would scream their heads off. 😂 He sang this on Shindig also...a very different but equally wonderful performance.

[@user-wb1nv2iz7w]

Both men had unique and amazing voices and when they sang together they brought the magic. They have some great R&B live performances where they let it rip and you'll be blown away. This duo is still the best ever, in my opinion. Anxious to see which performance floors you the most. They each have some great solos. FYI: You two are just too cute.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Another great Rightous Brothers song is Soul and inspiration

[@jucadvgv3449]

and lost that loving feeling, too!

[@angelatucker674]

They had TALENT back then...

[@tamiw.166]

And that, my dears, is "blue-eyed soul". This is what we were falling in love to back in the day. Thank you for this one - it really takes me back. Do keep down the Righteous Brothers rabbit hole, you will never be disappointed. Love your reactions!

[@willieb3765]

Bill's comment about not thinking it was going to be a hit is just part of the humor. Actually they each did solos on their albums. Check out Bill Medley doing Old Man River solo

[@user-iq5oj5pt7o]

This old vet loves this song. Grew up on this music.

[@suzannezethner8180]

They used this song with the movie GHOST. Incredible ❤️ 😲 😮 😯

[@danielkarlsson258]

That is wailing for a reason. Done for emotion and not for fame. Thanks for a great reaction! 👍

[@MariuV-nc1rq]

Now The Righteous Brothers AND The Blossoms on Night time is the right time...!😃😃😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johneldridge8678]

Great reaction!!! Great, natural talent by that man.

[@timmiszkowski9222]

Greatest Love Song of ALL TIME

[@tskend8502]

Bill actually produced the song.Each one of them did a solo for each album.They always joked around before TV performances. Watch Bobby sing "Summertime" AMAZING !

[@realcoolbreeze]

Maybe the most played song ever. I was young when it came out. I m 75 now. 1 of my all time favorites.

[@richardmckee5729]

The most played song of the 20th century is You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.... by the Righteous Brothers!!!

[@artbagley1406]

If I close my eyes and listen to this song, I can see the color of love.

[@stompugood18]

there was no analog there was nothing back in the 50's 60's 70's that enhanced anything just pure talent

[@ronaldstokes4841]

High School, '65... at dances this was a 'Ladies Choice'. Later in Nam it became an anthem about bein' far away from home. You'd hear it coming from one o' the hootches at night and it would bring tears. "...Are you still mine?"

[@debrawucik826]

Blue-eyed soul, no auto tune, pure sound, just beautiful.

[@mikemiller3069]

The microphone he was using is a "condenser microphone". Most microphones used on stage are "dynamic microphones" which are more rugged so you can do things like mic drops and they still work. Condenser mics are a little more delicate but they tend to have better sound than dynamic mics.

[@sherigrow6480]

They had the voices and the looks for sure. Bobby could sing anything. He and Bill both grew up listening to and influenced by the great soul and blues singers, and you hear it when they sing

[@kimtalley4496]

He did some great runs. Such a talent.

[@sharonellis8776]

Pure, clean, undiluted talent. xx

[@dreams2xs]

We did carve microphones out of stone back in the day. The true skill was in the singing. We also carved amps out of stone. You should have lived back in the 60's like I did.

[@yesorlando05]

Not only incredible singing/talent, but they're so handsome too. Look very classy. Funny, great personalities. beautiful lyrics. You rarely see this combination today.

[@danastearns7939]

Bobby Hatfield (RIP) possessed a 3-octave range tenor, and sung with amazing breath control, phrasing, and pitch perfect vocals and made it all sound so easy and smooth. Mind you, there was no auto tune available back in the day. Doing solo back then you had better have talent - the audiences were quiet - out of respect to the performer, and to take it all in. Several have covered this song since Bobby did it, but Bobby owns this!! Many in the music world rate this as the best solo of all time. Imagine how us ladies reacted when hearing this on the radio and watching this live performance on The Andy Williams Show on TV.

[@janevosburg9560]

Straight LIVE performance no engineering involved

[@ripmod1]

Bobby was 25 years old at the time of this performance. He is in the rock Hall of Fame.

[@photodog3639]

It such fun watching you experience the music I grew up with. Also our headphones were carved out of stone however they worked better after wire was invented 😂😂😂😂

[@georgemarsh9849]

In Vietnam this was the song that many people played about their girl back home.

[@carolmangum7524]

You should hear him sing Summer Time! Just Wow!

[@spacefanatic]

Hundreds of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. No auto tune or gimmicks just pure talent. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his parents were in the audience watching him sing live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch when he sings the high notes at the end his face does not contort like some singers when he hits the high notes. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.

[@user-fq2ux7wu3q]

Totally agree with you spacefanantic. I rushed out to buy the cd after this but nothing will ever top this.❤

[@deannatreat6819]

Great reaction guys! I LOVE The Righteous Brothers! This has always been one of my favorite songs...and I love this one even more cause it was in the movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.

[@crisbarber5404]

Performed live! The artists were so talented back in our day!

[@debbers]

They just had pure talent! When you see the tiny mic you are about to see real talent! Blue eyed soul! That's why he sounds like he does!

[@annefox926]

As teenagers, we mostly had the radio. We didn't know what color anyone was, we liked the music & talent. There was a lot of talent back then.

[@deborahlewis656]

Movie"Ghost", you'll really feel this even more❤😢

[@melissacaddell2604]

He had so much talent. Both of them did but Bobbys voice had so much range. He was so beautiful to look at. He looks like a perfect Ken doll to me. But his talent shines out of that handsome face.

[@richardcranium5048]

She brought this to mind. I heard or read this somewhere many years ago and it has just stuck with me.... We the able, have done for the unwilling, so much, for so long, with so little that we are now capable of doing anything with nothing at all

[@Bill-qf7tn]

Nothing but real talent

[@katkat-fm3wj]

The host who did the introduction is a great singer in his own right. Andy Williams.

[@robgrano6814]

Andy's version of 'O Holy Night' is one of my all-time favorite Christmas songs.

[@bobsmoot2392]

1965 "Are you still mine?" He dedicated this song to the boys sent to Vietnam, and the girls waiting for them to come home.

[@sammiedunlap9656]

thank you for the beautiful voice.

[@TheSwede9]

This is such a great song and like so many comments said, he did it live with no extras. It's my 79 year old mom's favorite song of all time. I got tortured with this song on repeat day in and day out through my whole childhood, growing up as a little kid, but it always brings a smile to my face to listen to it again. Love that ya'll did a reaction!

[@entropy2002]

You HAVE TO check out both "brothers" singing the Rodgers and Hammerstein hit from the musical Carousel - You'll Never Walk Alone! Bill Medley adds a fantastic baritone voice to the mix!

[@danielbenincasa770]

Oh forgor to mention. Their songs and way they sing them is called " Blue Eye Soul " Because they both have Blue eyes and they have so much soul....

[@justinthibodeaux6380]

God bless 🙏🏼

[@guyray1504]

Bobby who is singing this also 2:53 does " Summertime ". It has so much soul you got to hear.

[@randomthings997]

Its nice to see a fellow Christian who is so open to their faith. Godbless guys ❤

[@doloreskrisky1670]

"Blue-eyed soul" at its best!!❤

[@Ronster64]

Listen to the White cliffs if Dover, and Ebb Tide...omg yes Ebb tide

[@user-ep5yr7yz8b]

I was lucky enough to see them live. Fabulous!

[@obowurx6625]

Amazing vid, amazing song. One of my all time favorites.

[@Robert-jh8yo]

Top shelf blue eyed soul.

[@allenpierce4575]

1965 - live no technology to alter someone's voice. All pure talent, Bobby Hatfield is a Counter-Tenor his high notes come naturally where falsetto is forced. Bobby range is way bigger then this song, this was why i was suggesting Sumemtime, Bobby cranks up close to the sound barrier in this song. How much is for a donation for a video?

[@Dan-ts8yg]

That’s a great song but summertime by Bobby Hatfield will floor you

[@angelabarazzone7899]

This song was in the movie Ghost

[@aaronb.4830]

Bobby Caldwell - What you won't do for love.

[@kimtalley4496]

My introduction to this song was from the movie Ghost Starring Patrick Swayze & Demi Moor.

[@elainedixon1954]

Beautiful song

[@harrysmithson9122]

An 8-WOW review from the pretty lady!!

[@BigTroyT]

When this was recorded in 1964-1965, a tiny few studios in the world had a 4-track tape recorder and an echo chamber to add reverb - most studios at the time - even Abbey Road where the Beatles were recording the best-selling records of the time - only had 2-track tape machines - so there was very, VERY little studio trickery that could be done. That's not to say that producers and engineers didn't use every trick they had, but their "toolbox" was humble indeed. What you are hearing here is pure TALENT, along with many years of practice and hard work. 4-tracks began to be common in bigger studios in 66-67, and 8-tracks in a few studios in 69. You really didn't get amazing quality recordings (not performances, mind you, but RECORDINGS) until the early 70s, when the music industry was generating a ton of money and a lot of money could be poured into studios and gear and R&D for better consoles, tape machines, and other gear. Recordings from the 70s are light years higher in quality than in the 60s because studio gear had advanced so much in a relatively short time, and improvements (in recording quality) since the 70s have been comparatively minor by comparison. Certainly, digital effects and digital recording and editing transformed the industry, but not entirely for the better. It allows more people access to studio-quality recording capabilities, but it also means that you don't have to have the talent, or put in the hard work to get access to such gear anymore, and a lot of the music we have today reflects that.

[@billysmith8784]

You may want to react to a song called Cara Mia by Jay Black and the Americans. A good example is the 2001 PBS concert. If you like this one you'll certainly like his song. He is known simply as"the Voice"

[@dalenikolitch4627]

God Bless U n ur Family❤❤❤..

[@DJKav]

Andy McCluskey of OMD said the same thing about the song 'Souvenir', that his band member Paul Humphreys wrote. It was all Paul's work and vocals, and released as an OMD song. It went on to be a big hit. In fairness, Paul said the same thing about 'Enola Gay', another OMD hit.

[@franklingonzales9306]

You right about those oldies commercials.

[@thenortherner3890]

There is a whole back story to this - and the seeds of them falling out.....

[@williamoldenburg4468]

Righteous Brothers was one of the best concerts I ever saw. You should listen to 'Soul and Inspiration'.

[@robertdanyus6836]

Andy Williams Perry Como, the righteous brothers. They all have Christmas songs.

[@alrightbal9190]

The Righteous Brothers do not have Christmas songs! I commented at Christmas time that I wish Bobby had recorded a Christmas album! Some of the songs would be so beautiful with him singing them!

[@davidjones8164]

The theme song for the movie Unchained. A movie about a man in prison and debating whether try to escape or finish his term. A black guy sings it in the movie. It has been covered by more than 1000artust, but Bobbie Hatfield recorded it in 1965 and now owns it forever!

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

That black guy is no random guy. He is the opera singer Todd Duncan.

[@mandysummerlin1510]

You've lost that loving feeling is one of their best

[@francinefernandes2007]

There were both phenomenal singers. If you want to hear both of them singing try reacting to their song "You've lost that loving feeling." Soul and heart inspiration." And "Summertime" and "Ebb Tide" by Bobby Hatfield will blow your mind. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003. Bill Medley is still alive he is 83♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@glassontherocks]

I remember seeing that Andy Williams Show back in 65. (They have colorized it. It makes Bobby look like a plastic Ken Doll.) Anyway.. It was epic. It was on our local radio station in every car.

[@Robusphere]

And to think, BMI's top 100 songs of the century has a different Righteous Brother's tune as the number one played song on American television and radio in the 20th century.

[@rfitzsimons55]

Home Free did an incredible cover of this as well. 😃❤️👍🏼

[@thomastimlin1724]

Bill and Bobby singing together is dynamite...lightening in a bottle. But Bobby Owns this song....Elvis is preferred by many, but this version one never gets tired of it. This kind of singing from the Righteous Brothers is called Blue Eyed Soul. The guy who yelled out "that's righteous brother" was actually a black marine from a nearby base in San Diego, [that's what Bobby meant by "Down South" in California]. Bill and he actually had a coin toss, thinking it was the B side of their next record..."Hung on You." Bill lost, but he produced the recording for Bobby. It WAS the B side but DJ's kept playing this and it went to #3 on Billboard. Bill and Bobby were close friends and just kidding for the camera. Bobby died in 2003 at the age of 63, in Kalamazoo MI [less than an hour down the highway from my house] in a hotel from a heart attack, just before he and Bill were to go on stage. Because of growing up with this music, and being a music teacher, I heard the news on my way to work...I cried and had to pull over, the same as the murder John Lennon in 1980, and the death of Karen Carpenter in 1983. Bill is about 84 and still alive.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Hope you don't mind my corrections. The marine base was El Toro near Irvine in Orange county, not San Diego. The club was Jon's Black Derby in Santa Ana, also in OC. There never was a coin toss. Bobby brought it to the recording studio to be his solo for an album. It wasn't originally meant to be released as a single so Bill was the producer. He also played piano and did the background vocals. Bobby had been singing it with his group, The Variations, before he met Bill.

[@JMAM006]

7: 45 Here we GO now!! Lift Off.

[@caretaker158]

If you two have ever seen the movie Dirty Dancing, you've heard Bill Medley's baritone sing those words that so many know.... " cause I.... had... the time of my life....."

[@jamesmorgan9280]

I loved the reaction to this performance.

[@MNMC-fs8tx]

This song speaks to me...

[@Judy-mf5cw]

This song was featured in the movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. No one does this song better than Bobby Hatfield. The Righteous Brothers are the best duo of the 60's and of all time. They were dubbed the Blue-Eyed Soul Brothers. Side note, they both have blue eyes and many who have heard them sing are very surprised to find out they are white.

[@LindaM1976]

She’s right! We had nothing! Some stuff was even cut in the garage.

[@craiglonghurst8958]

This song is in the movie "Ghost"

[@bella-xp7qd]

Bob was joking regarding it being a hit. Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, who performed as the Righteous Brothers, wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" on their fourth album. However, Hatfield won a coin toss to perform the lead vocal solo. The song was originally recorded in 1965 and reached number four on the US pop chart and number 14 in the UK. It became an anthem again in 1990 when it was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Ghost

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Truly there never was a coin toss. It's just a story that developed after Bobby's death. 😢

[@infoprivate8243]

They did a vocal analysis. He hit 22 octaves in this performance.
