The Righteous Brothers - (You're My) Soul And Inspiration 1966 (REACTION) with my wife

[@louierivera7512]

EXCELLENT REACTION….TRADITIONALLY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MAN’S RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY❤

[@rodneysisco6364]

We were married in 1964 . I was 19 and she was 18 . We had 4 kids before I was 25 . I worked 2 full time jobs to support the family for many years and my wife was home with the kids .We have been together for 60 years .We were both more or less orphans . I had left home and been on my own since I was 15 and my wife grew up in orphanages and foster homes . We had NO help from family .

[@leannehouston2171]

So happy for you.. Congrats on the long marriage. God bless you.

[@carolespinoza8469]

God bless you sweetie, you 2 are surely meant for each other. 🙏🙏💕

[@sam-wz8tu]

What a touching love story. God bless.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

It sounds like the beginning of your lives were hell and you deserved each other, and the good Lord brought you together. I really love seeing an older couple that have been together forever. It warms my heart and gives me hope - right before I get saddened over my own life and how I destroyed my marriage. But then you, sir, give me hope right back. Hope for humanity at least. God bless you both.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Beautiful love story. Congratulations on your 60 years together. Much love from both of us 💚

[@LSUFan337]

I can only hope to find someone that looks at me with so much love as the two of you. Y’all always put a smile on my face and makes my day brighter. Keep up the outstanding job.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

😊 thank you. Warm wishes from Romania 💚

[@Thor_7577]

Love is the answer and nothing else compares definitely not money or material things.

Impossible for this song to get old

[@gino88]

I have always described the Righteous Brothers as “Thunder and Lightening”. Billy Medley’s Thunderous voice, then Bobby Hatfield comes in with the lightening, then when they sing it is a perfect storm you just are in awe of.

Welcome to my world of the 60 70 👍👍👍👍👍

[@marcellinasfigaro9364]

You brought such a big smile to my face when the two of you reacted to Bobby talking. Love you guys!

[@boroblueyes]

Such a beautiful reaction to one of the best performances ever.

[@danielmcgee2879]

This is me and my Beautiful wife of 30 years wedding song. great reaction.

[@judywein3282]

You are absolutely right. The 60's were just an extension of the 50s...very much the same. Simple, lovely times. It was in the 70s when everything exploded and went sideways. 🫤 What a wonderful reaction. Sent me back! Thank you so much!

[@JohnH.Sturgis]

Really? By the middle and end of the '60s, the collapse into self-centeredness was well under way.

[@jackiec859]

Not everyone felt that the 50's & 60's were simple, lovely times. The 50's were a bit rigid (the Cold War coupled with McCarthyism, air raid drills) and openly racist; the 60's was full of social issues that *HAD* to be addressed. And then, the assassinations, the Vietnam War...I don't recall the 60's as being 'simple'. I had a *great* Motown kidhood, but I read the city newspapers, relied on Walter Cronkite and my parents who didn't sugarcoat reality. Not everyone lived that "Leave It To Beaver" life.

[@sandralorenz1796]

The best duo ever.

[@chriskenitzer9201]

I can listen that song over and over❤❤

[@delugesofgrandeur]

This is my favorite reaction couple on KZbin. I wish you both nothing but happiness and love.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you 😊

[@wpollock1]

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s ….. most people did not have two cars and the other material things that are so expensive….larger houses, cable, cell phones, etc. The expectations of today’s youth are much greater in material goods than in the 60’s. It doesn’t help that education costs have exploded and inflation is high.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Agree. These days we are more focused on surrounding ourselves with material goods, rather than people. Much love from Romania 💚

[@billybriese2157]

You two are so amazing!!! You have what the Righteous Brothers are singing about!!! ❤

[@WoodGuy]

I'm from this era and I have their albums you're listening to. I was in 9th grade when this song came out. I'm so thankful I grew up during this time period, it was the best music. I feel bad for kids today having fake music generated by computer to listen to thinking that stuff is good when it's garbage. There are exceptions.

[@skblack5050]

Thank you. Good audio.. So many have poor audio which ruins the video.. Best of luck in this endeavor..

[@TheJohnnywbred]

You can’t beat the Righteous Brothers. They’d big both cool and great in any era.

[@JoanBelo-h5y]

Once again, you two display a genuine and joyous reaction to the music that I love! 👏👏👏👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉

[@paulr.3220]

This recording will be wowing people for many generations to come. Your reactions are so genuine and heartfelt. 👍

[@williambill5172]

Yes...the 60s were almost at this point like having lived on another planet for awhile...it is THAT stunningly different to someone who is 68!

[@sherigrow6480]

Our mom always worked, most other regular moms, too, but not all. Part time or full time, in the 60's. Both my grandmas worked too.

[@62impalaconvert]

The 60's, epecially mid to late 60's, changed everything in society in the US. War protests, marches, college campus occupations, hot cars, hot pants, The Pill, new kinds of music, TV and movies, women's rights, racial equality, hippies, flower power, LSD, communes, the Apollo moon program. I could go on and on. I was in high school and college during this turbulent but amazing time in our history and it was exciting to witnness the monumentral changes that were taking place, both good and bad, but mostly good.

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

Amen, it was a time to break away from the norm, did we make the world 🌎 better I hope so😊 Peace✌️ Gary ☮️

[@WoodGuy]

My kids were lucky, they grew up with this music playing in the house, they know all the words to the songs back then because they grew up with them and they love that music.

[@casandramackall1547]

Truly Beautiful! Love you all and the Righteous Brothers!❤

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

This was our song when I fell in love with my ex-husband. Unfortunately, the marriage didn't work out. We had 3 children, and I ended up supporting them as single parent without child support. I worked 3 jobs to keep a roof over us, plus I took classes at night to get my bachelors degree in accounting. He failed us so badly. He's decreased due to his alcoholism and drug addiction. I hope he is resting in peace. I'm remarried to a wonderful man who has given me a beautiful life. I was blessed! ❤❤❤

[@williamoldenburg4468]

One of the best concerts I ever saw. They were amazing live, in person.

[@carolespinoza8469]

The righteous brothers are like the bee gees, just awesome together. I love both groups. 💕💕💕💕💕

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

For millennia, women stayed home and raised the family and men went out to get food/supplies, then money to live by. In less than 60 years from this performance, look how far we've fallen.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Different world. All the best 🙂

[@JohnPilon082149051552]

Suave and debonair were redefined by the Righteous Brothers, and don’t forget to mention ‘soul’ in the lyrics/music!

[@jamesferris4573]

These times were simpler in many ways. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to stay home to take care of their children and the home, just as their is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to have a career of her own. The real problem is that couples today often have to both work, sometimes at more than one job just to barely scrap by. Corporate greed has taken over, and prices of everything have skyrocketed while politicians who are in league with the super rich and large corporations keep wages low to keep lower and middle-class families who were the workforce that built everything down while a few of the wealthiest prosper. The division between the wealthy and the poor continues to widen as the lifestyles and values of older, simpler times become a distant memory.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

That's so true. Greetings from Romania 💚

Some blue-eyed soul for a couple in love. It's not PC to say - The traditional nuclear family produced the best results for society.

[@wendyryder2708]

VERY true!

[@danastearns7939]

1966 - way long before auto tune existed. Live performance and no computer-aids available either. Just pure talent. I'm telling you, that back in the day us ladies absolutely loved this song/lyrics and longed for a man to say those same words to us. Individually - superb voices/pitch perfect with amazing tone qualities - together their harmony is beautifully matched: Bill's baritone and Bobby's 3-octave tenor.

[@SherryDocchio]

I had the best of all worlds. My father was in the Air Force and my mother was a homemaker most of the time. She enjoyed making the house her own little palace and she was always sharply dressed in nice casual clothes like Capri Pants and a blouse or a shirtwaist dress. A couple nights a week she and friends would go out while we helped Dad cook a week's worth of spaghetti sauce and bake a Boston Cream Pie. It was a typical 60s family much like you saw on the old TV shows. The family had favorite TV shows which included Shindig where the Righteous Brothers were regulars and the parents enjoyed Glen Campbell, another regular. Great times!

[@LaurelT1948]

In the 60s, housing, food, and medical care took a much smaller bite out of your paycheck, so it was still possible for one breadwinner to provide for the family. However, it did depend upon your economic class. I many cases the wife had to supplement the income working either part or full time. I love this song, and I love Bill Medley, the baritone, who is still singing today! Thank you!

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for the info 😊

In my household my Mom stayed home until we 3 kids were old enough to not need a babysitter. My Mom went to work partime, then by 1967 she worked full time. When i married in 1983 i didn’t need to work , but i wanted to.

[@SherryDocchio]

Had to double back and ask you to check out some of their more humorous performances like Ko Ko Joe and their R&B side like I Need Your Loving Everyday. They were more noted for their R&B where they let it rip. What these two could do with their vocal cords was amazing. Love your reactions and I look forward to seeing the shock on your faces when you see the wild side. You'll love it, I think.

[@dalemcmillan7231]

Very, very happy for you and for those whose love and partnership stays solid. Very sad for those when the woman (or man) keeps walking out the door.

This song was like a gift for every guy back in the day, no matter if the girl was your g/f or not it was like a free pass to slow dance and the girls just loved this song and wanted to dance to it. Talk about hitting the lottery...lol. Guys would just love it when this song came on at the dance....awesome.

I love your commentary on family ilfe back then. I had graduated from high school the previous year, and my mom did have to take a job around that time to pay for living, so my sister and I cared for my brother's until our o parents got home. It worked out. I love the Righteous Brothers! Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@MerchantOfAlba]

We were growing up in a similar household. Both parents were working, we needed to take care of stuff around the house until they were back. No regrets though. Had a beautiful childhood 😍

[@stevepool8034]

Since I grew up in the 60s, guys, I would say the traditional US home with a stay at home mom was pretty much still in place. But there were signs a change was underway with things like women's lib being in the forefront of the media. Another great pick guys with one of our favorite groups.👍

[@Peyton-rv1qe]

That's how i grew up. My Mom stayed home to raise me and my three younger Sister's. My Mom would have my Dad's martini ready for him when he got home from work during the 50's and 60's.

Great memories 😀

Women Lib Revolution was started in the 60's (burning bras in the street).

[@ChasBeauregarde]

These are indeed restless times and I think you’re describing yout son as having a restless spirit. I work with younger people and it is VERY hard growing up today. We had a sense of contentment and unity growing up and now everything seems fractured into little interest groups.

[@elizabethavolck7784]

Please listen to the original 45 RPM STUDIO VERSION. That is what we all heard on the radio. This is nothing like the very famous studio version.

[@mamaflush9945]

I would simply say, not all women had a "choice" to make their own decision to stay home and to not work. I remember my mother being told by my father that he expected her to hand over her paycheck each week, so that he could pay the bills. And she was not allowed to have a bank account...because she was a woman. So, everything was not so "simple" in the 50's and 60's and some would say not a good time to be a woman without rights. But they did produce some amazing music. (Not meant as a criticism rather just another point of view) 🙏

[@MerchantOfAlba]

Thank you for your comment. We quite often forget that for some, life was hard regardless of the times they were living in. All the best 😍

[@WilliamGuess-ns6th]

50's and early 60's is when women were expected to stay home! Then there was a revolutuon! Attributed to the Sixties! As usual, there was good and bad in that situation!

This is definitely the correct video. I've been a big fan since the start in 64. Actually they were in a doowop group the Paramours for a few yrs before being a duo.Im a senior my mom never worked took great care of the home plus great meals everyday. Back then more women stayed home than worked, 50s & 60s. Women's lib started changing that starting mid to late 60s.

[@jackiec859]

Many American families *in the 60's* had the father as *the* breadwinner. But there were lots of families that, like now, couldn't survive on just one income. *Mom AND Dad* both had jobs, and dad may have had a 2nd job. The word 'choice' went out the window. Also, *pay inequality was the norm (race, gender, age, religion).* Don't get it twisted, moms worked at home taking care of the kids, the cooking, cleaning, laundry, some household repairs...she just didn't get paid for it. *Some people* didn't count that as a job because no money changed hands.

[@MerchantOfAlba]

As a mother myself, i fully understand that taking care of a house and your kids is a hard responsible job. And also understand about choice or lack of it. I didn't have a choice in whether I'll stay home or go to work. Had to do both, and it was really hard at times. I guess every decade has its ups and downs. Warm greetings from Romania 💚

[@waynewhaley3307]

The difference in the home life style in the 50s and say the 70's was birth control. Before 1965, it wasn't as practical for a woman to invest a great deal of time in a career when she was likely going to end up staying home and raising several children.

[@tpiper1976]

The lady is right that was the time when the nuclear family was important and women were appreciated and loved by their men. The feminist movement put an end to that! Making stay home moms out to be oppressed or lesser than!

[@DarqJestor]

Nothing was wrong with a woman being a housewife if that's what she wanted, but when that was her only choice it sucked.

[@pennynolan7597]

If your husband goes out to drink with the guys after work a few times a week, can begin the downfall of a relationship.

[@paulaw4854]

Women did not have a career choice if she wanted to.

[@Nancy-n4o8k]

Women had just started fighting for their rights. You might change your mind if you lived at that time. Women could barely talk without their husband's permission. I don't think you would like it. Read about women's rights in the 60's.
