RAPPER REACTS to You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' by the Righteous Brothers (First Time Hearing It)

[@jenniferchin429]

His name is Bill Medly, and this was no remix. No auto tuned or any of that crap. It was just pure, raw talent .

[@pattylm67]

Bobby Hatfield was actually 1 month older than Bill Medley. They were magic together.

[@HGWTPaladin]

Born in 1940.

[@debbie541]

from the era of true pure talent when famous singers could really really actually sing .. no auto tuners back then . they all sounded the same in person as they did on the radio, live or on a recording

[@maryannc6313]

This was the most played song on the airwaves of the 20th century according to BMI, which tracks these things. Bobby was actually a few weeks older than Bill Medley. Sadly, Bobby passed away in 2003. Bill is still, at the age of 81, performing with a new partner, Bucky Heard. You are correct that they weren't really brothers. Their name comes from when they were performing at a club and Black Marines from nearby El Toro Marine Base would yell things like "That's righteous, brothers."

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 73 key 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 . 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......

[@susanalexander6721]

I love you.

[@encrypter46]

I hate to bring it up as I've loved their music from the start but hitting every note on the piano and more today belongs to Dimash with 7 octaves ending at D8.

[@janecollie]

This is a song about heartbreak. Bill Medley provides the drama and he really acts the song. Bobby Hatfield can sing with a slight smile on his face because he knows he can provide the vocal pyrotechnics.Their blended harmony is stunning. Phil Spector produced this performance and everything is perfection from their wardrobes to the choreographed steps and the chorus in the background (A very young Cher was in the chorus).

[@ralpholson7616]

Booby is high, Bill is low, but when they meet in the middle it is magic.

[@saneamerican3788]

These two were perfect together. Absolute perfection. You are a good cat owner btw.

[@dorothykelley1881]

Unchained Melody, will make any girl melt...What a voice, Bobby does this one by himself...Bill didn't think it was going to be a hit-said he could kick himself for missing out on this beautiful song...This one is timeless...

[@jonathancadorin9714]

Bobby is actually older by a few months than Bill. The deep voice definitely gives you the “older soul” feeling about bill

[@allenpierce4575]

bobby hatfield is a counter tenor, bill medley is a base-baritone singer

[@dagmar.6954]

This is called blue-eyed soul. These guys were the best. Bobby Hatfield with his beautiful tenor voice & Bill Medley with his deeper voice. They were magic together. And remember this is done live. No auto-tuning crap like today. And the songs had meaningful beautiful lyrics. Try "Unchained Melody" with Bobby Hatfield doing it solo. Best version ever!

[@judydavis7993]

I'd never heard that description of the Righteous Brothers "blue-eyed soul" before but that does describe them that's for sure. I still have a 45 of this song. 😊

[@doloresschultz8393]

Absolutely that best ever!

[@AndieO]

My parents loved this song, and the love of it passed to me. Love to see you check out some of the newer acapella offerings. The Bass Gang, Voice Play, Home Free individually and collectively have lots of new stuff out.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

Bill Medley & Bobby Hatfield..there voices complimented each other so well!

[@nancydanise5073]

Actually Bill Melody wanted Bobby to do this song solo(Unchained Melody) they both did solos over the years. Bobby Hatfield was the tenor voice and Bill Melody was the baritone voice they shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic.They sang from their hearts and souls. THEY were also known as The Blue Eyed Soul Bros. THIS SONG WAS PLAYED MORE TIMES THAN ANY OTHER SONG IN AMERICAN RADIO HISTORY.NO OTHER SONG EVER PLAYED MORE TIMES THAN THIS in the 20th century. No Bobby and Bill were about the same age mid twenties

[@jacquelinesavoie9749]

That's BILL MEDLEY.

[@nancydanise5073]

@@jacquelinesavoie9749 yes I know I misspelled

[@carytakagawa2760]

Bobby Hatfield was only one month older than Bill Medley so not sure why there is such an emphasis on "that older guy". I was able to see them perform in 2001 when they were both 61 (or "fifty-eleven" as they called themselves during the show!), two years before Hatfield passed away. If you liked this song, please react to Soul and Inspiration. It was written as a follow-up to the success of this song, written by the same writers, features the beautiful harmonies of both Hatfield and Medley (unlike Unchained Melody which is a solo for Hatfield) and peaked at #1 for three straight weeks in 1966.

[@AndieO]

That's a great choice. Soul & Inspiration is beautiful.

[@j20tower]

Your reacting to the greatest duo of all time. Nobody is taking a back seat to bill Medly. Each with there own dynamic sound. They have great harmonies. You don’t need to explain why one has a lower voice and the other higher voice. Unchained Melody was Bobby’s solo. They both decided on that so it’s no surprise. Just one suggestion, stopping it every 15 seconds just destroys the flow of the song. Also the music of today can’t hold a candle to that music. This is 1964

[@rubydazzler]

It's a reaction, what do you expect?

[@pzpete]

Bill Medley was the male singer who did "now I've had the time of my life" from Dirty Dancing.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Many who have commented have filled in most of the blanks here. What I will add is that this song, perhaps as much as any other, puts on full display producer Phil Spector's signature "Wall of Sound" style of production, where he would pack the studio with more musicians than could comfortably fit into the space, and then work them for hours until they were too tired to improvise much and just played the notes on the page.

[@valeries5722]

You are right....COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VOICES .....but the contrast works....you get the best of both worlds....just beautiful

[@LaurieRein]

They both agreed to do singles and Bobbie picked that one. Bill has his own singles. They are best together.

[@SherryDocchio]

The way the producers would use these two amazing singers was genius, in my opinion. It's not that Bobby Hatfield was taking a "back seat" but more like they were pulling you in with Medly's unique vocals and then Bobby is brought in for the kill shot. The only thing that was done for this live performance video was editing out all the screaming which makes me happy. Appreciate your reaction to these two incomparable singers and we may never see another duo this perfect again for another 50 years. Thank you for keeping their music alive.

[@jjflash1645]

You never heard this before. I can’t stop crying for you knowing what you have missed.

[@susanalexander6721]

If he had won the toss I think Bill would have done a wonderful job with Unchained Melody. It would have been a different song.

[@ameliaclark5792]

They are so into it. That must have felt sooo good to sing that song. Even a little bit of hip action from Bobby:)

[@mamb70]

Bill Medley deep voice. Their two of the greatest singers ever and are in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. For once in my Life is similar to this. Little Latin Lupe Lu and Night Time is the Right Time their on 🔥. Soul and Inspiration is great also. Best of success on yr channel

[@richardpierce7819]

Music today has lost the soul and feeling of that was so prevalent in the 60s and 70s.

[@royapplequist7077]

you need to react to them doing I Just want to make love to you it's a bluesy chicago sound

[@ElledieWildAndFree]

Bobby made Unchained Melody his own

[@sherigrow6480]

Bobby and Bill were each in their own vocal group before they met, and those vocal groups sang many of the same songs including a version of Unchained Melody. After they were together, they both wanted to do it as an album cut on the same album, as their solo. Bobby won the coin toss that day, and the rest is history. Phil Specter, their producer, was not a Bobby fan, and believed Bill's voice was a better hook for songs destined to be released as a single, so Bill was highlighted on this and on For Once In My Life. Bill actually produced Unchained Melody, and their later hit Soul and Inspiration.

[@overthinker4094]

It's a great song!

[@garybarlow5447]

Another one to see is Soul and Inspiration.

[@MaryM-xz5fs]

Incomparable!

[@47tooter]

Unchained melody was a letter from prison to a sweetheart and was originally sung in Baritone by a Black man.

[@brkhrt3595]

Summertime by bobby Hatfield is insane and forgotten by everyone.lol😎

[@rickdavis7005]

Bobby's version of "Unchained Melody" wasn'[t the original. The song was composed for the soundtrack of a 1955 prison flick, "Unchained". The song's title was supposed to be just a temporary one, as the songwriters couldn't come up with what they thought would be a good title right away. It was originally sung by a crooner name Al Hibbler, who had a respectable hit with it, and it's been covered many times since, but even the guys who wrote it, Hy Zaret and Alex North, said that Bobby's version was the definitive one.

[@debbers]

This is my first time sitting in with you today, thank you for allowing me to do that! The color that first came out in the sixties was atrocious, it was way too bright! I hated color television and continually bought television's at yard sales to get old black and white sets! Their voices are very different but they compliment each other very well!

[@fredkoselke1712]

Bill and Bobby were both born in 1940 , but they were not biological brothers . Good luck with your channel.

[@sylviapotter6328]

The Righteous Brothers were on a show and the host asked Bill Meldey why he did sing Unchained Melody with Bobby Hatfield and Bill said he didn't think it was going to be a hit so now when Bobby Hatfield sings the song he sits in the corner and cries.

[@catofthecastle1681]

Bill Medley and BobbyHatfield were both born in 1940! I don’t understand why you think Bill is so much older! I think he might still be alive!

[@catofthecastle1681]

Looked it up and Bill Medley still performs today. They were the first guys to be referred to as blue eyed soul.

[@theshadowfax239]

Bobby has passed, but Bill is still alive and still performs.

[@CamillusFly]

People tend to think that Bill is older because he's over half a foot taller than Bobby.

[@docmason9677]

His reaction video was a lot different than all the other Black Folks who really a appreciated the soul and fire in both of their voices together. 'You've Lost That Soulful Loving Feeling' somewhere along the way.

[@andrewcoleman6349]

They are close in age back then 25 and 26 or 27 years of age, you love you some Bobby Hatfield don't you

[@vallee3140]

I dont think Bills Unchained Melody, would have sounded as good as Bobbys.

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I forgo..lol. Bill Medley didnt really think the song would be a hit! Lol. So he flipped the coin leaving it up to fate! He did that with of things in his life!

[@marablemorgan8292]

If you ever saw the movie "Ghost", you'll recall hearing it...

[@sandralorenz1796]

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were the same age. I think they were 24 at this performance.

Bill medley. You get, by one month, than Bobby Hatfield.

[@diannecardenas9866]

They flipped a coin because both wanted to sing it and they settled it by a flip of a coin. Later Bill Medley said this song was Bobby's song, and he was glad Bobby got the song. Also Cher was one of the back up singers in this song.

[@BrotherMikeBCSF]

Bill Medley didnt do The Unchained Melody because He didnt think it would be a Hit ! Go Figure !

[@zgdafzgdaf4264]

There’s a interview prior to Bobby singing unchained where they go into detail why Bobby sang it… also how their name came about.

[@doloresschultz6804]

Bill could not sing harmony, only the tune. But Bobby could sing ANYTHING, and his genius made them great❤

David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and the Temptations, were contemporaries in the age of soul, and the beginning of Motown.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Color TV was expensive, as it became cheaper and people's incomes increased, technology slowly improved that's when the 3 networks we had in the mid 1960's, about 1965, started converting to color TV cameras. TV series were mostly filmed in black and white, there were some exceptions like Bonanza [1959-1973] was always in color [there are some black and white copies out there though.

[@hkblt3]

You’ll also have to listen to “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, Bobby’s soul in “Summertime” on their old hit show, Bill’s soul in “I Just Want To Make Love to You”. Their “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration”.

[@AndieO]

You probably already know Bill Medley's hit from the 80s. Time Of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing.

[@cynthiacazares4807]

They were the same age. Both born in 1940. One born in August the other in September. Only Bill Medley is still alive. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003 at the age of 63, and he was the older one born in August. Love you comments.

[@nancydanise5073]

Ok Your alright with Ray Charles but today singers not really. GET IT THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT THE SAME AGE 25YRS OLD

[@leahr.2981]

Get tired of hearing this. You should have seen and heard my brothers. They didn't look or sound alike either

[@micheleschwartz3571]

I get a kick out of you! Love great comments about the soul brothers of my time. Heaven called Bobby home way too soon, we all would have loved to keep the Love Story going. You see, every woman of my day just knew 'Unchained Melody' was being sung to them. We loved those boys.. , ,!dw

[@lizalohan01]

Imagine sitting in the kitchen about 16 girl when this song was releases and hearing it for the first time... I'm not that person...but I'm trying to imagine it.... I'm a 70s - 80s - 90s child but even that was an amazing era

[@jaydeutscher]

The song was actually too long for acceptance by a label because it exceeded the 3 minute time limit for radio play - so they simply lied about its length. It’s popularity then rendered the issue moot. (Queen would later have an even greater problem with this issue in the production of Bohemian Rhapsody )

[@lindajames978]

These are the original just like bobbie was the original singer of unchained melody in 1964

[@annefox926]

I believe Bobby was 2 or 3 months older than Bill( the YOUNGER guy).

[@wickedwings7611]

Bill Medley wasn't older than Bobby. Actually younger by about a month. In that video, for some reason he looked older than he was.

[@JohnnyHector17]

Not if you're a woman. Bill Medley"s Baritone is what stirs deep in a woman's soul. That's why Barry White was so popular

[@lauramittler]

Hey, why don't we just turn off the music so you can just drone on. The reaction isn't you stopping and going like a teenage driver.

[@iknownothing-49]

I really like your reaction videos. So many of the reaction videos don’t get into (or get into too much) the musicality of the song

[@opheliasoto902]

Next try "Soul and Inspiration"

[@HarryMuszynski]

Both Righteous Brother were born in 1940, a month apart. Bobby was the older.

[@maryford4346]

You did to hear Bobby sing Summertime, it’s amazing….

[@micheleschwartz3571]

Bill Medley is the baritone and he is in his 80's and still performing. They were the same age.
