First Time Listening To The Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (1964) (Reaction)

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

There's no music today that can compete with the talent of the 60's and 70's. So many riches.

This WAS THE MOST PLAYED SONG OF THE 20th century!

[@joannbanks7007]

Sung live without ear plugs, no auto tune. Just pure talent

[@sharonelliott2366]

Actually, in ear monitors were a godsend to all the musicians on the state. I'm not talking about auto tune here. When my bro and his bands were playing rock n roll in the 50s and 60s, they would crank up the volume in the amps so high in order for the musicians to hear each other. I remember standing next to the amplifier towers to be able to hear the bass well. The vocalists were actually forced to sing louder than they should have because they couldn't tell if they were loud enough. Some of us, musicians ad audience, ended up with permanent mid- range hearing damage. First came the floor monitors, and then the ear monitors. They weren't trying to correct pitch, they were just trying to hear each other.

[@unmalo2768]

As a kid growing up in the 60's, we took this kind of talent for granted. Why? Because everyone back then was ultra-talented. It was expected or you didn't make it. They had to be talented, because gimmicks were not allowed. Nowadays, it's all gimmick and no talent!

[@IgnatiusGeorge]

I never realized just how much vocal talent there was then. Today's music just does not compare to that generations music!

They weren't Brothers but very good friends. Bobby Hatfield in my estimation was the best singer ever. And left his way too soon only in his 60s in the year2007.🤩🤩 oh forgot that was a great reaction thank you.

[@sheliaspringer7389]

I remember when this came out! I was in my car, just running to town, listening to my car radio and out of nowhere came this spectacular sound! I was in amazement! THAT SOUND! OH, my GOODNESS! I still love this song after all of these years! Just think, NO autotune, no inhancement of any kind! This is when people actually tried to hone their craft and perfect their GOD given talent! They were so perfect! Bobby Hatfield died in 2005 from lung cancer, however Bill continued to sing, and at one time did get a replacement! Bill Medley later in life, along with Jennifer Warren, sang that phenomenol song for the movie, "Dirty Dancing", "I've Had The Time of My Life" won many Grammies and is the most loved song and also the best dance scene ever! These guys were the BEST! Unless you were alive for their impact, you wouldn't believe it! Thank you so much for reacting to them and bringing some much needed happiness into my dreary day! Thank you!🎉

@stanleywiggins5047 I’ve been Black for 65 years and 11.5 months. I have no idea how anyone can turn “No auto tune” into a Black or a rapper issue. It simply isn’t. Auto Tune has often been used in music today to enhance many mediocre singers’ voices. All races. Saying there was no auto tune means and ONLY means the sounds of their raw talent was just that, Raw Talent and Awesome. All of the groups we listened to several decades ago, Black, White and yes Purple with Yellow Polkadots sang without auto tune. People just hear it mentioned more often with the Righteous Brothers because their voices were so amazing and Bobby’s range was ridiculously unbelievable. It means it wasn’t enhanced. I laugh each time a reactor mentions how small the mics were back then. Why do they need such big mics now? When you can sing, all you need is a mic that doesn’t give you feedback.

“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......

As others have stated, the most played/listened too song of the 20th century; radio, television, movies and records. When a Righteous Brothers song would be played at a dance the girls would melt. Vocal harmonies like no one else. A couple of the original panty droppers. Like I said they melted the women and still do.

There are two film clips of them performing this song; in this one they are lip synching, the other was filmed live with an off stage orchestra and a choir in the background. It's often been said that Cher was a member of that choir ... Phil Specter's "Wall Of Sound" added a special layer to it as well. But the rather significant historical backstory to the song, is that YLTLF had a great deal of air time on American radio. Between 1964 and 2001 You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling was played at least 8,000,000 times, blowing away every piece of music ever played since radio was born.

The one thing people need to know about The Righteous Brothers is that they WEREN'T related to each other. The duo was originally Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, Bobby died in 2003. Also, remember that this was during a time when there wasn't a lot of electronics (auto-tune) for vocals; Bill Medley was a Bass and Bobby Hatfield was a Tenor to Countertenor for their vocal ranges.

[@VirtualBabe29]

Yes, Bill medley and Bobby Hatfield were not related. They got their name The Righteous Brothers shortly after they performed near a military base in Cal. when a young black marine complimented their music "That was righteous, brothers"

This song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" made it to the Guinness Book of World Records as the most played and listen to song on the radio in the 20th Century. These are all facts. Bill Medley Baritone Voice and Bobby Hatfield Counter Tenor voice are the Dynamic Dou known as the 'Righteous Brothers.'
