The Righteous Brothers & The Blossoms - The Nighttime is The Right Time *DayOne Reacts*

[@sherigrow6480]

The Blossoms would often tour with the Righteous Brothers in the 60's. This clip from the music show Shindig (1964-66), where both groups were regulars, and the music was live.

Thanks for posting this!!!🙌🙌 The Righteous Brothers we’re so ahead of their time. Bill was channeling Ray Charles right here. ❤️

[@chrishodgson6302]

Yes, they did look like they were having fun. Some fabulous singers all on the same stage at once. It would definitely have been a wow moment for those lucky enough to have been there. Cheers for that one, Angela.

[@edwarddoddy2130]

That's visual proof that we can all live in harmony if we choose to do so.

[@christianmattison6096]

That was just plain awesome!!! The Righteous Brother's were alright. But those Blossoms!!!! WOW they were amazing!!

[@tedcole9936]

OK, awesome! Didn’t know the Righteous Brothers got down so hard in the R&B, and will have to check out the Blossoms. Thanks, great request; it’s always a joy to see Angela smile.

Oh, Darlene Love of the Blossoms. They had a great hit with "He's a Rebel"!

Darlene Love and Bill Medley had quite a romance!

[@beeseewill2407]

I enjoyed this video so much.I never knew they ever did this together.

[@keymack2477]

Great job reacting to this one, Angela! I have heard this song before but not by these two great groups!! What a fun version!! Major kudos to you for the reaction!!

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hey Angela, This is absolute "FIRE" right here!!! The Righteous Brothers & The Blossoms turned it out back in the day and I'm glad we're able to jam to this gem in 2022!!! You hit the jackpot with this reaction because we're talking some straight-up funky soul music!!!

[@SK-lk3iu]

Yes, Ray Charles did this, you are right!

[@mikemiller3069]

The Righteous Brothers are Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Bill is the baritone. Years after this, he performed the theme song for the Dirty Dancing movie, "The Time Of My Life". Bobby is the tenor. He is the one that sang "Unchained Melody".

[@mamb70]

Its Darlene Love who was also in the Crystals.Is a terrific singer. I'm a huge Righteous Brothers fan. Thank you for reacting to this great song. They were all on 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE. CCR(Creedence) did a great cover of this also. John Fogerty has the grit to do justice to this great song

[@ptournas]

Actually she was never in The Crystals, but she sang two of their biggest hits. Phil Spector hired Darlene Love and the Blossoms to record "He's a Rebel" to be credited to The Crystals when The Crystals weren't able to get from New York to L.A. fast enough for him to record and release it before Vickie Carr recorded her version. He did the same thing with "He's Sure the Boy I Love", although that time Darlene thought it was going to be released under her own group's name, he again released it as being by The Crystals. Those weren't the only times he screwed over The Crystals. On the album "The Crystals Sing the Greatest Hits" four of the songs are actually sung by The Ronettes! Darlene Love went on to be a very successful backup singer in at least a dozen hit songs, with such diverse artists as Frank Sinatra (That's Life), Johnny Rivers (Poor Side of Town), Boris Pickett (The Monster Mash), and even Elvis Presley on his 1968 TV comeback special.

I remember watching this on ..the their cover Ray Charles & Raylettes Classic..the Blossoms would always cover.current.songs on this popular music variety..when the actual singers weren't available..this was an awesome cover...add: that's the great Darlene Love..in there too.

[@maverickblackhorse3068]

The Blossoms were great underrated backing vocals of the time. They collaborated with Donny Brooks on a classic 1960 song called Mission Bell. Excellent Harmony. A fun song IMHO.

[@gillianwhiteside5516]

Ive never seen this song before, i was smiling all the way through it 😍😍 love it x

[@Mark-iv7np]

Huge fan of Bob and Bill since the start in 64. I know Darlene Love is a great singer but the other two Blossoms were incredible. Very impressed with all, such a great fun performance

[@rs-ye7kw]

Actually The Righteous Brothers were recording hits before 1964. In late '62 they did a song called "Little Latin Lupe Lu" which was written by Bill Medley and it hit the charts in '63. Since you are a fan I suggest you give it a listen if you haven't heard it. It was on the Moonglow label.

[@stephenlutz3907]

Hello Angela: Just FYI, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were not actually brothers...but righteous they were!

[@mrb4749]

This is magnificent so is CCR Credence version. John Fogertys grit and awesome guitar skills result in a spectacular performance

[@williamcabell142]

When I saw the thumb nail, I just had to check this out! Fantastic! Wish there was a remastered version of this out there.

[@LaptopLarry330]

Although ABC had the ability to videotape their TV shows in 1964, this episode of “Shindig”, along with other episodes, appear to have been known kinescoped instead, because the conventional thinking at the television networks still was that Rock and Soul music were just passing fads. Boy, were they wrong!

[@ssacra22]

No one did it better than Ray Charles. Brilliant!

[@i.m.7710]

There’s sparks flying there. Hmmm… The lead singer of the Blossoms is still going strong!!!

[@jakesmith1942]

Great selection thank you for this

[@funkspinna]

I first heard this song on The Cosby Show. LOL.

Your eyes sparkle when you smile. You're a very beautiful woman.

Thanks, I hadn't seen this RB performance with Darlene Love and The Blossoms. Fun.

[@Harpo.jr70]

Black and blue eyed soul, cool .

[@robertsanders7061]

You must react to them doing Unchained Melody 1965 on the Andy Williams show

[@randyobrien2836]

That was loads of fun

[@joewiley62]

That was really cool.....i haven't seen this one ....WOW THANKS!!!!

[@carlhobson4083]

Bill Medly was in love with Darlene Love, lived with her several years, he sings Brown Eyed Woman to her at the Playboy club, and a great video too.

[@hillbillyhippie4235]

Bill Medley is the deep voice and Bobby Hatfield is high voice

Isn’t this ray Charles song????!

[@LaptopLarry330]

Yes.

[@davids2096]

Another new one to me! It's ok, doesn't really do it for me! It's too repetitive! The lady singers are very attractive, so that's 1 good thing!

[@danalynch8889]

Bobby didn't the voice for this soulful song.

[@musicairplanes4884]

Not brothers.

[@MrStyn-ud3bj]

Those guys just destroyed Ray Charle's song. Terrible! And I like the Righteous Brothers but this was bad. Love your channel though!
