Subscribe? Not today, not you. Save your inane, useless comments for the end of the song. Can't stand having a song interrupted by someone who believes they have something so mind blowing to share with the SUBSCRIBERS, they cut off the song to babble about "his sweet voice", his great "control, range, projection, pitch" blah blah blah.

[@sandralorenz1796]

No auto tunes. Just a man, a microphone and his God given talent. Bobby passed away in 2003. His singing partner, Bill Medley is still performing. His mother was in the audience for this performance. The Righteous Brothers each do a solo in their performances. This was Bobby's. Many people recorded this song but NOBODY does it like Bobby. You should listen to The Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Loving Feeling, Soul and Inspiration and You'll Never Walk Alone. I think your lovely friend would enjoy those too. Bobby had a 5 octave range.

I also know words like "No Talent", "Not Real Music", etc. If it wasn't for modern electrical enhancements (includes auto tune) the vast majority of today's stars would still be a "nobody" singing (or least THINKING they can sing) in their shower.

[@tomhansen4576]

This song was written for the 1955 prison film, Unchained, thus the title of the song. This was Bobby Hatfield singing, and the other half of the duo was Bill Medley who had a deep baritone voice. Bill did some subtle low background vocals on this, but not impactful enough to stand on stage with Bobby like a piece of furniture. Their biggest hit was You've Lost That Loving Feeling which was the most played song on the radio in the 20th century. You may want to react to it since it features both gentlemen. They were a very dynamic and talented duo back in the 60s and early 70s.

[@ImaDogTrainer]

I watched the movie last year. Kind of a cheesy low budget film, starring football star from the late 40's, early 50's, Elroy Leon"Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The song was just a short little jail time diddy, sung by an inmate to the others. The song had no name, so it was called Unchained Melody, after the movie title.

[@Peter-cz1ri]

This song unfortunately is about a soldier deployed and wanting his love to wait for him

[@TheTedterrific]

The notes he hits at the end are in the pure counter tenor range. This is literally a voice you may find once in a million people.

[@aseerose5684]

Yes, you are right, he is singing in the counter tenor vocal range, not fasetto. It is an entire range, like bass or tenor or Britons. Tht is why he can go so effortlessly into those high notes. Incredible voice.

There are two "brothers", but they occasionally recorded songs individually when the music called for it. As to how they got their name, they were performing at the El Toro Marine Base in Southern California. At the end of the performance a black marine stood up and said "That was righteous, brothers!". And that's how they got the name.

I was in the highlands of Vietnam at the time with the 1at Air Cav and later with the 101st Airborne. In the base camps at night you could hear the music of songs like this. Three years later I left and songs like these of love were in such stark contrast to our lives.

This was Bobby Hatfield at his best. He has been melting women's hearts since the early 1960's. The Righteous Brothers consisted of Bobby and his singing partner Bill Medley. Bill has a baritone voice but is also extremely talented. The 2 of them had a bunch of hits in the 60's and Bill is still touring with a new singing partner since Bobby passed away several years ago. The next song you need to listen to from them is You've Lost That Loving Feeling, which features both of them.

Okay Bobby and Bill had their own style when they came to blue-eyed soul where they could, sing together, or sing a solo. They were together but they were apart and I know it's hard to understand but they are so versatile they were silver so they're together and when they think alone they were really good too cuz Bill also saying solo too it wasn't just Bobby all the time. But to me the best part was both of them singing together as a Righteous Brothers I like them when they sing together, and what was so great about it was they still did their own little thing while they were singing together so that's what made it so great.

Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were consummate professionals for such young men. They were both 25 when Bobby won a coin toss and got to do this song solo & Live and went down in history. The song had first appeared in the 1955 movie UNCHAINED about a guy nearing his release from prison but missing his woman so much he considers breaking out. The song has had hundreds of covers since with Bobby's & Elvis' versions the most notable. However it is arguable that Bobby did the iconic definitive cover. His 4+ octave vocal range is magic itself. Bobby had profound stage fright and would throw up prior to almost every performance and then get himself together and go out and kill the performance. Bill and Bobby were a perfect vocal duo with monumental talent on loan from the gods. Incidentally, Bobby's mom was in the audience seated near him so he just HAD to knock it out of the park.😁
