Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

Dude, your daughter was checking you to see if you was shedding a tear!! Bless her!❤❤

[@colby_247]

Aw.... so cute that your daughter keeps looking at you.

[@M.E.M.O.10-50]

Shawn, I get tears in my eyes EVERY time I hear this. Beauty can do that to you, and this is beautiful.

[@michaelalexisstallings]

the story is, that his mother was in the. audience, and it was the first time, she saw him preform on a stage

[@timradde4328]

She was. In the blue dress I believe. He was also coming off a head cold. And was afraid he'd not perform well. This will always be his song. No one does it better.

[@manna6618]

That's beautiful.... this was the song from my dad at my mother's funeral when I was a child. Still makes me ball like a girl to this day. X :(

[@FairHaven-h8s]

She'll "get it" in a few years. Emotions as deep as this song don't come easily. Right now it's just another pretty old song. In 10 years, that beautiful longing will touch her heart.

[@gemini802]

I agree she's a bit young at the moment at 13, nice to see Andy Williams again

[@andyschnell58]

While there is no denying this is an incredible vocal performance, most don't know the story behind the song. In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody. Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". "Unchained Melody" comes from the film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. Knowing this background, the version of this song by Angelina Jordan, at the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize concert truly fits the occasion. Narges Mohammadi was this years' recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Narges was, at the time of this tribute, on a hunger strike while imprisoned in Iran, for being an activist for women's rights. Her two children spoke on her behalf at this event. Most of the performers were Iranian. We know Angelina's grandmother, Mery Zamani, grew up in Iran and was a prodigy for painting and poetry. We can imagine the conversations Mery had with Angelina about Narges. This performance had to be extremely meaningful to Angelina and her family, and I believe Angelina evoked the tremendous emotion of longing love Narges has for her twin children and for all the women in Iran. Here is the link to the performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqnHpnqJn6Z9edEsi=jvy-8yqtMzI5DHHb

[@TroyArchAngel]

Yeap masterpiece performance by Angelina Jordan, right up there with The Righteous Brothers.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

Great reaction from an adorable father / daughter team! And speaking of family: Further to Andy's comment, Narges' two 17yo twin children had explained moments before Angelina's performance that they hadn't seen their mother in 10 years; her daughter said she couldn't even remember the sound of her mother's voice. Narges' family has suffered greatly outside of prison and in exile in Paris, while their mother/wife suffered in prison.....all on behalf of others. The twins and their father were in the room when Angelina gave her incredibly delicate and moving performance. You owe it to yourselves to give it a listen.

[@rw716]

These father-daughter reaction videos have been so fun to watch! It's nice to see them have such a great time while reacting to different kinds of music. Pretty much everyone knows about this song due to this song being used in the movie called Ghost starring Patrick Swayze, Whoopi Goldberg, and Demi Moore from 1990. Like Andy, I think the performance by Angelina Jordan, a child jazz prodigy who is now 18 years old, was outstanding when she sang this last year where she was asked to perform once again at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She is the first performer under the age of 18 to be asked back to perform for this prestigious event. Shawn and Zoe, you guys should really check it out!

[@randytaylor1406]

Here is the original from the movie. It's not sung as well as the other versions, but we can get a sense of the emotion near the end of the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKUnneflLGLm5o

[@ronraskind]

Andy that is a phenomenal suggestion. Angelina's version brings a tenderness and emotion that you just don't get from the originals. I highly recommend they react to this.

[@cyu5251]

It's okay to shed a tear when you hear and see this performance ❤❤❤

[@dougsusie2319]

I was 8 yrs old in 1965 and saw this on The Andy Williams Show. I still say this is the greatest live performance of a song ever. Microphones were like that back then and are probably better than the mics now. Old microphone's are in high demand from many current artist's. I'm not aware of Elvis recording this in 1961. I know he did it right before his death in 1977. Hey dad, make sure you turn your daughter into the greatest and most influential band in history. Ask her if she knows who that is. It would be The Beatles! That should be a must in her music journey. Very smart daughter you have there. Cool kid! Peace ❤❤

Bobby had the voice of an angel. Love that this teen has had an opportunity to hear a voice, a performance without the artifice of today's music.

[@timradde4328]

Love this song. You are doing right by your daughter to have her listen to these songs.

[@DaveIdiens]

I have the same tears and I don’t know why. I am 77 years young and have listened to this many many, many times. Every time I experience the same emotions. Thanks for playing it and you are so blessed to share this with you very bright and beautiful daughter. Nice job dad 👍🏻👏🏻🙏

[@FUBAR1986]

This song and it sound is so wholesomely beautiful anybody who desires to have a pure soul can’t help but cry☮️❤️🙏

[@sandralorenz1796]

The young ones need to experience the music of this era, where singers could actually sing and looked presentable.

[@jcwelch5603]

First time viewer, Dad truly appreciates great music... tears of Joy are a testament. Zoe, Sweetie, you are soo young... Review this song again in 10 years & I have a feeling Daddy won't be the only one in tears! Let music transcend your soul when U discover how some rare performances will move U to tears as if the edge of heaven is in yur midst. Learn from your Dad & & love yur mom! You're on the right track! Simply adorable!!❤

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

Wow Shawn, this version you picked is the best I've heard. He really hits some supersonic high notes. Zoey's reactions are priceless. What a testimony she is of wonderful parents. You are truly blessed. Peace.

[@BobG127]

This is, I think, the third video I have watched of the two of you. In each one, four things spring to mind. (1) Shawn, you have great taste in music. (2) Zoe (Zoey?), so do you. (3) Zoe, you not only have the fun-loving nature of your dad, but a wisdom and intelligence that bely your age. (4) Above all, the joy the two of you share with one another is infectious; Dad's a great example of a father and Zie's a wonderful, appreciative daughter. The two of you are like a living, breathing Hallmark card. Nothing but positive vibes. Thank you for sharing.

[@philliplewis8006]

Zoe and Shawn, what a great couple together. You both have great comments about Bobby & Righteous Brothers. Keep up your great reactions. Kind regards from peaky blinders country, England, Birmingham.

[@thomassmith6232]

Pure voice with no electronic intervention.

[@catchall673]

You must be incredibly proud of your daughter. She’s truly impressive and has all the qualities to succeed in whatever path she chooses.

[@spacefanatic]

Loads of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his parents were in the audience watching him perform live for the first time and he was sick before he went on. Look at the end when he hits the high notes he does not contort his face like other singers do when they hit a high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.

[@timradde4328]

True.

[@johnparker8588]

It was t the original recording that was used in Ghost. But it was a studio recording.

[@marywhite1427]

Loved watching your childs reaction to your reaction. It was beautiful. Thanks for introducing her to music with meaning.

[@Snaakie83]

Just here to spice up the algorithm a bit, because you two are so refreshing and fun to watch. Zoey, you are intelligent, perceptive and expressive beyond your years. I hope you truly enjoy doing this because your personality really excels via this medium. And Shawn, we're about the same age... and kudos to you, you're doing life the right way. I understand this medium shows just a tiny insight into the people behind a camera, but your parental connection seems so complete... Just keep doing what you two do, people will keep coming back, more will join, more will enjoy. With much regards from the Netherlands!

[@cptchaotic]

I love how Dad is getting all emotional about the song and looks to Miss Zoey and she just gives him a clinical analysis of the song. He has great control and range and dad looks stunned. 🤣

[@johno1765]

I imagine it would be unusual for someone just hitting the age of self consciousness to react emotionally in front of another person especially if that person is their father.

[@visaman]

That's how I get when I watch the Black Eyed Peas video, My Humps .

[@karencarsley5102]

I loved that you didn’t keep pausing the video.

[@susancrouthamel760]

I grew up with the Righteous Brothers n got to meet Bill Medley years ago n he loved his fans. This man is Bobby Hatfield tenor n they said his last note many women cant hit it. One of their famous songs that was number 1 for a long time." You've Lost That Loving Feeling " Righteous Brothers were very good friends of Elvis. Elvis did his version of _You've Lost That Loving Feeling. Bobby died years ago but Bill is still singing in his 80's.

[@robertcampopiano6001]

Live performance on the “Andy Williams Show” in 1965. Andy Williams is the one in the middle. This was the first time he had performed it on TV. His family was in the audience and he was fighting a bit of a cold. This is when you needed to have talent. Bobby Hatfield was a counter tenor. The song is from a movie from 1955 called “Unchained”. It’s been covered by a lot of singers, but I believe this is considered the definitive version.

[@bigdanrog]

Dude. I'm crying.

This is a masterpiece right up there with the classics. One can listen to it over and over and I do. Will we ever get back the romance and beauty of that era?

[@socalpaul487]

"Unchained Melody" was originally written for the little known prison movie, "Unchained" 1955. Originally sung by opera singer Todd Duncan as a prisoner singing for his loved one. No one does it better than Bobby Hatfield.

[@inthedarkanonymous5625]

You two made ME cry. It brought back wonderful memories of my dad, sitting down beside me on the piano bench, the two of us harmonizing. Bless you for that.

[@susanworkman529]

If you noticed, that tiny Mic had a long cord that was attached to a sound system. All mic's were like that and could be removed from their height adjustable stands, back in the day. Now mic's have batteries inside and that's why they are much larger and don't have cords. The sound is actually better with the old mic's. Its like the difference between listening to music through an electronic device or playing a record on a stereo record player hooked up to speakers. Once you hear the difference you realize the old way was better. The modern way is much more convenient but not better sound wise. Bobby covered this song that was first done in a 1955 prison movie called "Unchained". It was more of a sad and longing for his wife song, sung by a prisoner. After 3 other recordings of the song Bobby turned it into the beautiful, hopeful love song that it is today.. Bobby Hatfield owns this song, it is his forever. Elvis' version of the song was recorded in 1977, on his last album and sung by him at his last concert a few weeks before he died. His version is very good and sung in his style. Bobby's original recording of " Unchained Melody" was a top song on the charts back in '65. This recording was used in the movie "Ghost" ( in the pottery scene and at the end of the movie). Because of this movie the recording got a second life. New generations heard it and it went back onto the charts. "Unchained Melody" is the most covered song, with well over 650+ covers. Now its getting na third life on reaction channels. ...... Your daughter did s good job with her reaction. 👍

[@luvutons411]

Geez...what fabulous duo these two were but Bobby Hadfield's vocals....Wow!! Just supreme..! Great reactions through the song from both of you. If a song effects you in an emotional way then let it out...🎤👍🎶

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

I was in high school when I watched Bobby sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. As teenagers, we fell in love with these guys. Bobby owns this song, no auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! We miss hearing your beautiful voice! ❤❤❤❤

[@kevinalbertina136]

"Unchained Melody" has been covered like a zillion times. Several singers had a hit with it in the 1950's...I think the names Al Hibbler and Roy Hamilton come to mind. The Righteous Brothers did do a lot of covers. Bill Medley, the other singer, did a great cover of Old Man River. But it's also amazing at how well they sang together given the complete opposites of their vocals. They are definitely one of my favorite vocal acts from this era and recorded two of the most iconic songs ever in this one and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'". Both appear in numerous movies.

A great song and not a autotune machine in sight. They definitely don't make songs like this any more.

[@stevecausier4299]

And don’t forget, there were NO computers or auto tune back then, just TALENT !

[@Great-Documentaries]

LOL! There were plenty of lip-synchers and fakes back then, and bands like the Monkees and even the Beach Boys used session players to record the music that they weren't TALENTED enough to play themselves. And there are MORE talented singers today than there were in 1965, even if they use technology. And of course computers existed in 1965.

[@mikemiller3069]

It's funny that you said, "I don't know the dynamics of microphones...", because there are different types of microphones and the most common one is known as a "dynamic microphone". The kind they were using in the video is a "condenser microphone" which operates differently and, though they are often smaller than dynamic mics, they usually have better sound quality. They aren't used much in live performances these days because they are not as rugged as dynamic mics. Condensers are used more in recording studios, along with "ribbon microphones" which are also high sound quality, but more delicate.

[@unknownrider3071]

The microphones back then were smaller because they weren't wireless, so no batteries, transmitters and so on.

[@TerryStrain-f1y]

His mother was in the audience to hear this live for the first time on stage, and he was worried it wouldn't be perfect..... but it was for sure...

[@reggiefokes6677]

[@blockklocker]

The line Bill said about he didn’t think it would be a hit was a joke. I read that they both wanted to do it.

[@visaman]

And they did on two episodes of Cheers.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

Neither thought it would be a hit because originally it was only to be an album track. Hits came from single releases. They both did solos on albums and in shows; Bobby brought it to the studio to be his album solo. After it was recorded, Phil Spector decided to put it on the B-side of the single Hung on You.

This was part of the score of a prison movie called Unchained. The singer was a prisoner asking his lady love whether she would wait for him until he was released. That's where the idea of "time moves so slowly" comes in.

Miss Zoey I have no doubt that you must have a very busy schedule. Being internet famous and taking over the world and all. I would like to offer this advice. Take a few moments to enjoy just being a kid - young adult. You have something very special. A father who is doing right by you and spending time and sharing experiences with you and making memories which I promise later in life will mean the world to you. I am sure the rest of your family is pretty amazing also. I just haven't met them in a video I have seen so I will keep my comments to you and your father. Thanks for sharing this look into your life with all of us. It has made a difference in mine and my families life. We watch together and smile and laugh.

[@viewfromthehighchair9391]

Small correction: You don't get emotional with respect to the song YET!! As life goes forward, the emotions will come as the song becomes connected with your life experience. I've seen this video many times and it always affects me the way it did with your Dad as it likely reminds us of the lives we've lived and the relationships we've had. That's the parts of life you have to look forward to as you grow. I'm impressed with your music knowledge, all other things considered. You clearly have studied. Look forward to seeing more reactions.

[@cptchaotic]

According to Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unchained_Melody Origin of song In 1954, Alex North was contracted to compose the score for the prison film Unchained (released in 1955). North had a melody he had written in the 1930s and composed and recorded the score when he was asked to write a song based upon the movie's theme. North asked Hy Zaret to write the lyrics. After first refusing, Zaret and North together wrote "Unchained Melody." Zaret refused the producer's request to include the word "unchained" in his lyrics. The song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody" even though the song does not actually include the word "unchained". Instead, Zaret chose to focus on someone who pines for a lover he has not seen in a "long, lonely time". The film centered on a man who contemplates either escaping from prison to live life on the run or completing his sentence and returning to his wife and family. The song has an unusual harmonic device as the bridge ends on the tonic chord rather than the more usual dominant chord. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack and performs an abbreviated version in the film. Playing one of the prisoners, he sings it, accompanied by another prisoner on guitar, while other prisoners listen sadly. With Duncan singing the vocals, the song was nominated in 1956 for 1955's Oscars, but the Best Song award went to the hit song "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing". William Stirrat, an electrical engineer, claimed to have written the lyrics as a teenager in 1936 under the pen name "Hy Zaret" only to have North use the uncredited words in the 1955 original.The case went to court and the dispute was resolved completely in favor of the real Zaret (the one born Hyman Zaritsky) who continued to receive all royalties.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

While this RB is the popular version, I've always preferred LeAnn Rimes cover version found mostly on the 1997 compilation album: "Unchained Melody: The Early Years". I just find that the song sounds much better when a woman sings it. For me, it doesn't sound real when a guy sings it since it is not how a man usually expresses his emotions. Instead it sounds like how a woman would fantasize how a man would express himself towards her. But if women want that fantasy, then all the more power to them. For me, my preferred male sung love songs are "Something" (The Beatles), "Time In A Bottle" (Jim Croce), "Your Song" (Elton John), "Maybe I'm Amazed" (McCartney), "Mandolin Wind" (Rod Stewart), "Tomorrow Is a Long Time" (Rod Stewart's version). "You're In My Heart" (Rod Stewart). "I Don't Want to Miss A Thing" (Aerosmith). "Be With You" (Enrique Iglesias). "Best of My Love" (Eagles). "Sea of Love" (The Honey Drippers). "Crazy Love" (Poco). "You Are the Woman" (Firefall). "Baby Blue" (Badfinger). "You're My Home" (Billy Joel). "Iris" (The Goo Goo Dolls). "El Paso" (Marty Robbins). "You'll Be In My Heart" (Phil Collins). "Keep On Loving You" (REO Speedwagon). And "Hey There Delilah" (The Baseballs' cover version).

[@rcinsley]

Zoe - This version of "Unchained Melody" has melted the hearts of young women for generations! That would include your mother, grandmothers, and great grandmothers. There are more than 500 known cover recordings, including one by Elvis (very close to the end of his short life), but this performance by Bobby Hatfield is widely regarded as the definitive version. The song was written for a 1955 movie called "Unchained," but has been used in other movies -- most notably, the 1990 Oscar-winner "Ghost."

She may not know what melting like butter means but she sure was.
