Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody (1965) REACTION & ANALYSIS by PEACESENT MAKEOVER AND FRIENDS!

[@eolafan100]

As a 71 year old who was 15 when this song debuted it’s so nice to see a new generation appreciate “our” generation’s music. 😃👍

Lots of us do, you should check out "Postmodern Jukebox" where modern songs are done in older genres from swing to crooning love songs like this. It's only frustrating when some older people get offended at the existence of newer genres.

No, not many artists. 1 out of 1,000 artists could have done something like this live and not miss a note. In fact he probably added to it as he went along. I've been around a long time. I saw a comment from another 70-plus year old that watched all this unfold in the sixties. And there's just nothing like it. I shouldn't say nothing, there is Roy Orbison for example. But I can't think of anyone else. Don't get me wrong there a plenty of singers just as good with song just as good or better. It's just this one unique performance live that people are talking about.

This song is part of my soul. On our first date my husband we went to a jazz club and when the band started to play 'Satin Doll' by Duke Ellington, he took me into his arms and I knew he was the man I'd share my life with. Many, many years later we danced to this beautiful song -- He'd been ill for several years and had problems with his mobility - Still we swayed to this song and nothing mattered except the man I loved had his arms around me. Neither of us knew it would be our last dance. A couple months later my beloved passed away --- As I was driving back from the hospital this song came on the radio. I cried --- but then thought perhaps this was a way of letting me know my beloved was safe with God.

@@charleslangrishl9124 emphasis on talent. It's so important that people really explore themselves and find their talents growing up, rather than chasing so many things they're only mediocre at. So much bad advice from parents and role models like, "Follow your dreams". No... don't follow your dreams. Follow your talents and abilities, and they'll lead you to dreams. Today's generations don't really explore anything at all, unless you count social media feeds and TikTok trends. They're growing up without ever realizing what they're good at.

“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 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 (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......

My wife and I saw the Righteous Brothers at the Orleans in Las Vegas 2 weeks before Bobby passed away. My wife had stage 4 lung cancer and the Righteous Brothers got her through some difficult days. They were both about 64 years of age but had lost very little. When Bobby sang Unchained Melody the audience was always in anticipation for Bobby hitting the high note. He would wind up a little, sort of tighten his body and rise up on his toes and belt it. He was no longer 1965 Bobby but he was close. Great show as always. What is overlooked is how funny he was. He and Bill sprinkled their show with comedic bits and even though you knew the jokes they would ad lib to keep it fresh. Bill Medley is still out there performing nightly. These guys were pros and always delivered for the audience.
