The Righteous Brothers were dubbed, "Blue-Eyed Soul" back in the day. Bobby sang this song live on the Andy Williams TV Show. When he recorded the studio album version, he didn't sing the G4 (G5-?) high notes rather, he finished the song at a lower octave. This version is a one of a kind performance. The song is already 55yrs old and will forever withstand the test of time. Why? Because, "Class never goes out of Style".

There are two Righteous Bros but at times they did solos. Bobby that did this song 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 WERE SOUL and HEART.They were also known as the blue eyed soul Bros. Many artists before and after him have done this song but no one will ever do this song like Bobby Hatfield 💔. This song was originally done for a prison movie about a guy who was missing his woman and hoping she'd be waiting for him.This performance was sheer perfection. ALSO 25 yrs later it became a hit again because they played it in the movie Ghost. LISTEN to You've Lost that loving feeling by them. This song was played more than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has ever surpassed it. Not country they were named the Righteous Bros by a guy who was in the audience and yelled That's Righteous Brother.THis happened while performing near a marine base and if they liked something they say that's Righteous Brother and they took that name from then on.Little history lesson Soul not country

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, The Righteous Brothers (not blood brothers) were a duo in the 1960's. Bobby was solo on this song, bill on piano, and arranged. This was a live performance, Bobby had a cold, and was nervous as his parents were in the audience, and yet, he gave a stellar performance!. Meaning of: "time goes by so slowly and time can do so much" is that over time, feelings can change, circumstances can change, and he is asking her, if she still feels the same and is waiting for him.

The song was written for a 1955 movie called Unchained, about a guy in prison who couldn’t wait to get back to his girl. The guy who wrote the lyrics refused to put any of that stuff into the song so it became a general love song, sung by many before the Righteous Brothers did it .. but nobody else did it like this, altho many other singers covered the song later (including Elvis) and based their versions of it on this version by The Righteous Brothers ... It is a solo song, but the Righteous Brothers were a duo so they flipped a coin to see who was going to do it, and Bobby Hatfield won. The other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for the studio version as well as for this performance AND he played piano while Bobby was singing .. so it was still a team effort. Bobby sang another version for the movie “Ghost “ and this revived interest in the 1965 version (this one) which was then re-released. The Righteous Brothers and this song made history by having two different versions of the same song in the Top20 of the charts at the same time, competing against each other!

I saw them live when I was young as some theatre in the round that was on Ventura Blvd (I believe), in the San Fernando Valley. I don't know if that place is still there or not but they sold out the show. They used to have another name for their group but while doing a show somewhere, a man in the audience yelled out "That's righteous, brothers!" So they changed their name and the rest is history.

I sang this to my wife at our wedding in 1983. She, however she said I murdered it. I'm guessing it's not a song for a baritone, she told me I was of better sticking to my drumming. I thought it was an appropriate song as I was in the Royal Marine Commandos, I had returned from the war for the Falkland Islands when I proposed, and now was shipping out to Sierra Leone two days later, so much for my attempt at being romantic. On the upside she liked me in my Dress Uniform, and having my comrades forming the sword tunnel helped. I must have done something write because we're still together and she still puts up with my singing. With 4 children and 7 grandchildren, we got busy on 3 of our baby's when I was home, we adopted the young afghan woman and her 2 daughters at the end of 2015 after they saved my life in Afghanistan (a story for another time), and we are so much better for having them, we love all our family and that is our strength. I served my Queen and Country for 34 years in the Royal Marine Commandos and later in the British Special Forces, and then 2 years in hospital, and she stuck by me even though I'm mainly wheelchair bound now. We do actually have a song by Queen called "Your Me Best Friend", a very apt song as she has been my best friend since we were both 15.

‘Godspeed’ is an antiquated term that means ‘as fast as possible’ like asking God to intervene and hurry something along or to move as fast as God. This song is sung from the perspective of a prisoner to the love of his life asking her to affirm that she’s still his. He is asking if the time he’s been in prison has changed her feelings.

The line isn't "Godspeed your love..." it is "God speed your love, to me..."

But the line in the song is "God speed your love, to me"...meaning exactly that.

The singer, Bobby Hatfield (1940-2003, RIP) was one-half of the original duo, the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield voice was considered a high tenor, also referred to as a contratenor or counter tenor. The other partner in the Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley, sang in the baritone-bass voice. Bill Medley still tours as the Righteous Brothers at 82 years old with his daughter McKenna along with Bobby Heard, who sings Bobby Hatfield's part of the song. About where you had probably heard Unchained Melody -- This song was played during the movie Ghost in the scene with Demi Moore's character spinning the pottery wheel with her murdered husband's ghost (Patrick Swayze's character) . Also, here's a song where both Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield sang doo-wop with the group The Paramours (1962) before they became the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield is singing the lead, with Bill Medley singing the baritone--bass voice hook in the background. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mqqJubZquhma8

This song takes on more meaning when understood in context...the song comes from a prison movie about a man doing time and singing to his love from prison...In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film (released in 1955).... North then asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics, but Zaret initially declined, saying he was too busy painting his house. North was able to convince him to take the job, and together they wrote "Unchained Melody."...and the rest is history...maybe the most beautifully written romantic song of all time...and as I understand Zaret did eventually get his house painted

I am late watching this. Sorry. Bobby Hatfield played baseball, football and basketball in high school. He was offered a sports scholarship to college which he turned down to pursue a career in music. We are the beneficiaries of that decision. This song was written in 1955 for the film, “Unchained,” which was apparently a box office failure. It was the story of a man in prison who longs for his wife and family, wondering if they will still be there when he gets out. Bobby turned it into a love song for the ages. The night he sang this live, women all over America fell in love with him. I was 23 y.o. When he performed. It was perfect and he was gorgeous! 😍

Bobby Hatfield live performance . The Andy Williams Show- Episode #4.5 Episode aired Oct 25, 1965: Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. *In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof." Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

Bobby was actually very modest, down to earth, and was often nervous on stage, so he definitely WASN'T a player, at least not one with a smug attitude.

Bobby's parents were in the audience that night, too, and that also made him nervous.

Also sorry for commenting so much but I'm doing it incrementally similarly to how you do your song analysis. But your analysis on time can move so slowly but time can do so much was incredible. Definitely a new way of viewing the song.

Gotta listen to the Elvis version of this.

The song is from a prison movie back in 1955, sung by an inmate. So when he says “Time goes so slowly,” he’s referring to prison life, with its daily routines that are so repetitive and so meaningless that it seems like time has slowed down. But when he says “Time can do so much,” he’s referring to the fact that many couples, married or not, break up if one of them (usually the man, of course) is in jail. It really means “Time can do so much to tear up a relationship.” So it’s really a comment about how much stress time puts on a relationship. Instead of “Time heals all wounds,” the sentiment is “Prison time reopens all wounds.”

Listen to Chris Isaac, Wicked Game. His voice always reminded me of these guys and Elvis

The singer is Bobby Hatfield. This is a solo. Bill Medley is the other Righteous Bros.

I keep hearing interesting interpretations of the lyrics here. The song is beautifully simple; it’s sang from the perspective of a man separated from the woman he loves. He expresses how much he misses her “I’ve hungered for your touch alone” “Lonely times” He then acknowledges how much situations and feelings can change, which gives us a clue that he’s been separated from her a fair bit of time (perhaps on deployment in the military or something) and asks the question: “are you still mine?” “I need your love; I really need your love, God, speed your love to me.”

It’s a prisoner's song, from the 1955 movie Unchained. A Black inmate longs for release and wonders if his beloved will wait for him to come home (‘Are you still mine?’, ‘wait for me, wait for me’),

@@andre_p yeah see that totally tracks with the lyrics. I’ve heard some wild interpretations of what’s going on, almost like people aren’t even hearing the lyrics as connected to one another. (I’ve probably watched way too many reaction videos to this song specifically, because it’s been one of my favorite performances of all time for a long time.

Time can do so much.....too much time apart can kill the connection and love. He's worried about losing her while he's away. This song was written for the righteous bros. It was based on a man in prison....who didn't know if she'd still be there when he got out
