What country are you two from? There’s many countries thatI recognize your accent from, but I’m not sure.

[@christinegelabert1651]

Gentlemen...as someone who grew up WITH this song as a kid...I LOVE to see younger ppls faces when that first really high note hits. It really is like a religious experience in music that totally opens up this song to them and it blows them away. You can tell it just hit them right in their heart which IS where the love of music lives in all of us. This was a live performance but I forget where it was filmed. There was no such thing as auto tune back then~you either had talent OR you didn't. He is a true tenor. It says Righteous Brothers and YES there ARE two of them so find their other videos and you'll be amazed by his brothers voice also. He is a true baritone. Look for their song called You've Lost That Loving Feeling~it's a duet between them and one of their most popular hits ok? THIS song became so popular because it was close to around the time of the Vietnam War era. So a lot of soldiers from around THE WHOLE WORLD used it as their love song to their gfs and wives back home. It has won many awards worldwide. Check out the history on it ok? Enjoy!

Best live performance ever. That’s all that can be said

[@OutlanderAnatomy]

Bobby was nursing a head cold when he performed this live on The Andy Williams Show some 57 years ago. He was nervous because his mum was in the audience for the first time. His performance was perfect and he looked gorgeous. I am 80 years old and hunger for a return to this kinder, gentler, more beautiful type of music. Unchained Melody was written in 1955 and has been covered more than 1500 times by more than 600 different artists. Bobby’s is the BEST! 🥰

[@melissaisloud7404]

His voice is like water flowing over a brook. Smooth, clear, and enveloping. His control seems so effortless.

[@chuckcarles8288]

I am 81 and have heard several artist before bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of there albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we now. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.

You are right on brother

[@brandyramos9372]

Thank you for explaining the history of this song. It's a very sad song❤❤❤

[@mikejohnson9586]

I was 7 when the Andy Williams Show aired this live. My mom and dad jaws dropped watching him sing that night back in 65. We kids sit on the floor watching Bobby Hatfield sing in awe.

[@jeanhorn8891]

Guys this song was written for a low budget film called Unchained made in 1955 Bobby did the cover live no auto tune, he had to get it right first time, he was singing to his mother, this was her first time hearing him sing live in front of an audience. Well what can we say. Brilliant. Years later the song featured in the movie Ghost starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swazye. ❤️

[@LindaLandry79]

In the sixties grooming, appearance and professionalism was paramount especially for a television performance. Bobby Hatfield was a pro oooozing with talent and his 'blue eyed soul' delivery. He sang with emotion and captured yours. RIP Bobby Hatfield you are missed more than you know.

[@thomaschong3520]

I could listen to this version forever….and that’s what I’m doing.

[@thekingcobra63]

This was Bobby Hatfield's song, he owned it for sure. RIP Bobby.

[@joiewick187]

The Righteous Brothers are known as "Blue Eyed Soul" they were amazing; this was when music was so pure

[@haroldlee1989]

Bobby Hatfield does an amazing job of showing off his voice skills; this is pure talent; live 1965

[@Vinguy11]

The man is not human?!!. No one had before at the time or since has had the ability to sing like him. A true legand

[@ellenjones7819]

I believe that Righteous Brothers agreed to do one solo piece each per album. This just happened to be hit because Bobby nailed it.

[@zella417bcarter9]

Bobby Hatfield. You will never hear that song sung better by anyone else ever! He just owned that song. Beautiful!

[@rhondalamb7053]

Still does can not see anyone taking it from him.

[@okie-kan9240]

This man, I believe is singing with the angels.

[@gloriaherron4582]

Listen to Rock and Roll Heaven. Bobby is the leader of that band.

[@reggiefokes6677]

I was a senior in high school when this song came out. We loved slow dancing to it.

[@karlkuttup]

back in the 60s 70s 80s had to be able to play and sing live with very standard equipment ,all the bands and singers did a full year or more touring ,before even going into a studio ,they learned there craft on the road ,great reaction guys

[@stevecausier4299]

No auto tune or tricks, just pure TALENT !

[@marielaveau5321]

One of the greatest performances of all time. ♥️✌️

[@Robert-jh8yo]

True blue eyed soul brother.

[@lisajames3359]

I actually cannot deal with this song. It’s mind blowing… just amazing talent.

[@Yousless1]

Live...no gimmicks, no tricks, no auto tune. Just pure talent. Thanks.

[@opaulamorgan4265]

He had a cold, he was nervous, as his parents were in the audience, and yet, a flawless performance! Love your reaction!

[@mistyblue6396]

And that Ladies and Gentlemen is how you become Immortal, RIP Bobby Hatfield

[@adhutch23]

there's a famous "music legend" about this that the 2nd guy, showed up and was like, where is my part in the song? Producer (Phil Spector) said, you dont have one. So he asked, "well what am I supposed to do?" and Spector said "go to the bank and pick up your fucking check" Song was a massive hit.

[@greggbradford2307]

The phrase "blue eyed soul" is because of that man!!!

[@rexracer3221]

THAT was live and one take. There was no do overs or splicing. Amazing, if anything Bobby Hatfield was trying not to overpower the song. That guy could let it fly.

[@scsu5085]

PURE..... CLEAN...… REAL...... HONEST...… Talent

[@jackbutler2989]

Bobbys Mam and Dad were in the audience what a sense of pride they must have felt ...never another Bobby Hatfield RIP ....

[@XaviRonaldo0]

That falsetto at the end was so so clean. Not even a hint of a crack

[@dfuher968]

No crack, coz its not falsetto. Bobby was a countertenor, meaning he could cover the entire spectrum of both tenor and soprano naturally. Countertenors are very rare, like 1 per generation, and Bobby was even more special, he could go higher than many sopranos, never falsetto, just pure natural. He had a span of 4-5 octaves depending on the source, absolutely unmatched. Bill covered bass, baritone and into low tenor. Combined the 2 covered every note on a piano.

[@robertlavallee591]

Great reaction on both your parts...Bobby Hatfield was one of those rare singers called a Countertenor,this means he was able to move from tenor into soprano with no effort at all,I'm sure he still had to train to use his voice at its fullest capacity but I think it also came naturally.

[@isobar5857]

Sung live and no autotune. Listen to them sing soul and inspiration. Talent like this is rare...glad I grew up with it.

[@trinimadrid3387]

I’m a Grandmom here who fell in love with the great Bobby Hatfield later! Wish I could have known how awesome he was! You can see he’s perfect on this performance!If his mother really was there I can’t imagine her joy and pride for Bobby! Love you guys in California!

[@reneemallicone6839]

Even tho this was Hatfield singing alone there will never be another duet that will match the Righteous brothers. Absolute Legends!

[@tinanichols203]

Bobby is a Counter Tenor and those high notes just come naturally to him. No strain at all.

[@LouiseKernow2024]

for me this remains the most beautiful love song written or sang and Bobby Hatfield's voice just tops it. His voice range was stunning, no autotune just pure, pure talent.

[@lisajames3359]

Just to say thank you. You’re reaction couldn’t have been any better.

[@rubynelson8274]

This performance was live, no earpiees, no prompers, no pre-recorded music in the background.

[@margiepelcman9837]

Let the music of the past bring healing of the future. Thank you for bringing it back😄👏👏👏👏😍

[@bridgetdraper8671]

Having grown up loving and singing this; it blows me away watching people far younger than I react! Empowering!

[@sarahblack1632]

Bobby Hatfield had an angels voice. Thanks for the reaction.

[@dianemalone9496]

Bobby's voice was pure gold! This is the best live performance I've ever seen ❤️❤️❤️

[@guidosarducci]

This tune is for REAL absolutely 100% live...incredible...! Good choice...

[@Prozak63]

During Desert Shield/Storm I played this song on a Walkman every night when I went to sleep thinking about my wife.

[@MsAppeljack]

No auto tune, just pure voice. That is how it was done in the day. You had talent, or you did not.

זה מדהים.מאוד מרגש.אהבתי את התגובה שלכם🤘🤘🤘🤘🫶🫶

This version brings me to my knees. It's my favorite song. It was used in the 1990 move "Ghost" and the song was part of my wedding. THANK YOU!!!

[@alanainsworth2883]

Thanks for playing this got to be one of the greatest singers of all time. Been playing righteous brothers songs since 1964 they are incredible.

You might not like this style of music, but there is something wrong with you if you don't appreciate his performance of it. Ilove it.

[@letitbknownz2739]

Thank you for doing my request. You guys are great and keep your word. Amazing reaction

[@beegee1960]

The most played song of the twentieth century. Literally.

[@suzanking5625]

Righteous Brothers/Soul and Inspiration is another of their duets you will LOVE to hear.

[@quentinmichel7581]

These guys epitomized "blue-eyed soul". Their paasion and harmonies were simply stellar. Interesting factoid: while they never missed a beat when performing, Bobby Hatfield (the blond) had stage fright and would puke before every performance ... and then go out, face the audience, and give a timeless musical masterpiece. And in this song at the end you can see his joy...no act. Both these guys enjoyed what they did to the max.

[@quentinmichel7581]

@Hillary's emails to Lorne i think at times those performers must not have really known the level of their own talent and probably feared disappointing their audiences. The fact they could rise above it to stir our souls is a tribute to theirs and their professionalism.

[@Robconnors7253]

Bobby Hatfield was 25 years old during this spectacular performance,and his mum was in the Audience. We lost Bobby in 2003 .

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

This was his song! RIP Bobby! 💞

GREAT REVIEW OF GUYS YEAH HE'S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE OLD DAYS I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR REVIEW MAN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK❤❤

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Bobby singing this one alone. I love how much he's at ease, But really controlling his voice perfectly, like an instrument.Glad you watched end again so you didn't miss his finale. Good job guys!!

[@nycot107]

He wasnt entirely at ease that night. His parents were in the audience and he was actually pretty nervous

[@richardmiseljr2413]

I'm 57 years old and I'll tell you young guys this. When your be romantic with your woman play this song and she will melt in your arms.

[@docbeck888]

[@j.alexander4948]

I'm American and I ain't even gonna lie, it's kinda hard to understand yall but I loved yalls reaction tho. This here is a classic and watchin you two enjoy it for the first time was priceless. Sums up pretty much how I feel about this song. This dude sings like an angel from heaven and like one of yall said, he's barely trying ... man ain't breakin NO sweat but tearing the freakin house down at the same time. Thanks for the awesome reaction to this all time great.

He just stands there and captures you! Amazing! No one can do that now!

Welcome to the Righteous brothers world of music guys. Every song they produced was pure magic.

[@belladonna9683]

Really nice reaction. Thank you! He still leaves me breathless! He does make it sound so effortless (I can't even hum this song). Hard to believe what he really wanted to do was play baseball! R.I.P. sweet Bobby!

[@jamesmcburnie4605]

Bobby Hatfield & Bill Medley (The Righteous Brothers) often sung solo as well as together. RIP BOBBY

[@darlenefragale6550]

This song was an anthem of our servicemen in Vietnam to their wives and girlfriends hoping they would still be there when and they made it home…

[@dvrmte]

On that last note he went where few men have gone before. LOL

[@michaeldbhawker3556]

its actually common, whats not common is his low range ability in combination. His full range in perfect pitch without technology assist is legend

[@williamcabell142]

The Brothers were perfection!

[@savage75_]

This dude got ALL the notes!!!

[@christinadolan119]

There will never be another duo whose voices are so perfect and can sing romantic ballads like the Righteous Brothers- Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. Was lucky to see them in concert just months before Bobby Hatfield died at the Crystal Grand in Lake Delton, Wisconsin.

[@geoseward]

How old was Bobby and how did he die? I was in Vietnam when I first heard this song on the radios at our base camp/s. Greatest song I ever heard.

[@christinadolan119]

Bobby Hatfield died of a cocaine overdose according to what I saw published. Bill Medley has permission to use Bobby Hatfield's voice dubbed in. I have seen Bill Medley perform in Branson, Missouri. The evening I saw the Righteous Brothers perform was October 14th but I do not remember the year. My late husband, Joe bought us the tickets for my birthday. Have had lots of nice gits for my birthday. A friend named Sigalit who lives in Henderson, Nevada asked me what show ticket I wanted to see in Las Vegas for my birthday. I commented the Eagles. She was significantly younger than myself and said she knew the concierge at the MGM Grand. That show sold out in 2 1/2 hours but Sigalit delivered. The Eagles concert was by far the best concert I ever attended. Suspect you and I are close in age as my late husband also served in Vietnam. US Navy. By the way, Sigalit who is Isreal, thought she only knew two Eagles's songs. Tirns out she inly didn't know two of the songs as the Eagles, like the Righteous Brothers are classics! Hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane. By the way, Bobby Hatfield sang his high school fight song from Appleton, Wisconsin. Bobby was a Wisconsinitr and Bill Medley is from California. Bill Medley was instrumental in helping get the 3 Texas Tenors' careers off the ground. If you have never seen them, please do! They have voices like angels! They sing every genre of music in their show from Pavaroti, to old rock and roll to country to theater classics. From a ladies' perspective they definitely are eye candy!

[@MrHorsepro]

@@christinadolan119 While Bobby was known to be a cocaine user, but he did not die from a cocaine overdose as was first reported. His death was determined to be a heart attack. He had an underlying heart condition all his life. Bobby always suffered from serious stage fright.

[@craigbutterfield592]

It is terrific how open minded you two are, and how much you have learned and how much more you will discover. Been listening to music for like 55 years now. It changes your life.

No more again Voice like this. Amazing Voice and Song. Special and EVERGREEN

[@m.n.d5949]

No song makes me feel the emotion as deeply as this one does. Like u feel the longing in yr heart. It just does that automatically and it takes so much for someones voice to do that.

They flipped a coin as to who would sing this song, and Bobby won. I was a British Invasion fan and ignored these guys for 50 years. Only now, with videos like yours, am I listening and appreciating them. Thanks.

[@rubydazhla511]

Bobby owns this song but Id have loved hearing themsiig this in harmony. It would v have gone to another sublime level.

[@nberrypatch02]

My late uncle used to call this a "guaranteed panty dropper" of a song. Yes, it can make any lady (or man) swoon... LOL! Many different covers of it by different artists over the years and yes, Elvis did a great job with it, but Bobby Hatfield's ethereal voice is a perfect match. It's always been my favorite version. He did this in front of a live audience and on live television; decades before autotune or any type of computer enhancements existed, unlike how it's used so prevalently in today's music...

[@tpiper1976]

American men back in the fifties, sixty and even in the seventies were more put together! Look at old pictures of the time. Most were wearing suits and even wore suits to baseball games! I’m 65 born in 58 and so glad younger people are discovering these artists! The Righteous Brothers were exceptional and a cut above most of the performers at the time with a couple of exceptions! Enjoy there other songs most are bangers!

[@jacksummers7081]

Every low rider car show in the US has this song playing in the background. I was 6 years old hearing this song.. I didn’t appreciate it back then but I damn sure do now

HE SUNG THIS SONG SOFTLY, SWEETLY, SMOOTHLY, SENSUALLY AND WITH PASSION AND IT WAS SOUL GRABBINGLY BEAUTIFUL. THIS SONG IS ICONIC AND IT WAS IN THE FAMOUS FILM "GHOST" STARRING PATRICK SWAZYE AND DEMI MOORE. BOTHE THE SONG AND FILM SUITED EACH OTHER.

Unchained Melody was a song composed for the prison film 'Unchained' (1955). The music was by Alex North (1910-1991) and lyrics by Hy Zaret (1907-2007). The song was first sung by African American opera singer, Howard University Professor, and Broadway and film actor Todd Duncan... A true Renaissance Man... The prison film 'Unchained' (1955) was based on a book by Kenyon J. Scudder 'Prisoners are People.' Since 1955 almost every recording artist in every language has sung this song. Hence it has become one of the most recorded songs in the history of music. It took the live performance of Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers' on the Andy Williams Show (1965). That finally cemented the beauty, and reverence that is 'Unchained Melody' to audiences around the world. Bobby Hatfield's version made this song one of the most beloved, and sung songs in history. His version is the quintessential version of them all. And it is his version of 1965 that artist have used, and are still using today. His legendary performance will stand the test of time. God speed his love to you Bobby Hatfield. For you truly gave the world, and epic performance that will live forever. Rest In Peace...

[@annapercy6002]

Thankyou Mr54nomore there were gaps in my knowledge and you filled them. This song continues to grip my heart with peace and happiness and I agree Bobby gave us an epic performance that still has the power to affect today's youth right into their souls 😊-
