This great song was the #1 requested song to radio stations in the 20th century. Had many great songs. Unchained Melody, Soul and Inspiration, For once in my Life. They were on fire doing The Night Time is the Right Time and Little Lupe Lu. Bill is still touring at age 82 but with Bucky Heard. Sadly Bobby Hatfield passed in 2003. Best success on yr channel

This song with both brothers makes every woman go a little weak in the knees every time they sing wow ohh wow, and Bobby's Unchained Melody is a timeless romantic dream of a song and performance. I love their soul, their harmony, and how well they sing together. They had experimented with different names until one night doing a gig near a military base someone stood up at the end of their set and yelled, "That's righteous brother!" The rest was history. They were great as solo performers, and fabulous as a duo!

Cher was one of Phil Spector's background singer and was probably one on this film.

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on a piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance. Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

great harmony between the baritone of Bill Medley and the 3 octave tenor of Bobby Hatfield (RIP). They are not brothers. The story goes that, before they became well known, something like this: they were singing at a club and someone commented (yelled) that their singing was "righteous, brothers" - hence the name. Often referred to as "blue-eyed soul" as they obviously sing with such soul in their voices. This is a live performance and before there was auto-tune or other computer gizmos - just pure talent. Can't wait for your reactions to: Unchained Melody (Hatfield's solo - Medley on piano), and Soul & Inspiration (focus on Medley).

Regarding Unchained Melody, Bill is on piano and produced the studio recording. (Spector took credit when it became a hit.) For all the live performances (the Andy Williams show, please), he is basically audience like everybody else. Every rendition is fabulous. P.S. Bobby's range is over 3 octaves...no one knows how high he could actually go. Yes, audience members named them, Marines from the El Toro Marine base in Southern California. Calling them Righteous Brothers was an on going thing, not a 1-time evident.

Bobby Hatfield (RIP) and Bill Medley. Truly talented singers. A proper song that stands the test of time and will still be played from now until the final day of the earth's existence. As someone else has mentioned in the comments below, Soul and Inspiration is also a good track by them that isn't heard very often nowadays. It is worth a listen if you haven't already done so. As you both have noted, Bill Medley is able to hit very low notes and the two of them harmonise excellently. But I have often thought that in today's musical world if he was just starting out he might well not make it because he is quite awkward in his movements and stage presence. Thankfully, in those days your actual ability was regarded as more important than other superficial (and unimportant) factors.
