Tribal People React to RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS Unchained Melody

[@jeffreymeyer4848]

Wisdom transcends literacy sometimes. These gentlemen amaze me with their depth. Much, much respect to them all.

[@gatekeeper65]

They're all very open and appreciative, but Abdul just gets it. He's in touch with art.

[@acommentator4452]

he is a poet himself, so appreciative of all creativity and art. a very wise man.

[@sadgfasdg542]

Abdul is one of my favourite reactionists because whatever the content he just keeps quite and tries to soak it all in and THEN when asked or when it's over he will tell you his opinion.I think we can all learn a lot from this sir. I can feel the wisdom.

[@acd6374]

My thoughts exactly. I love the way he focuses and dissects every performance. Wise man indeed.

[@Naty_Sousa]

Exactly, too many interruptions and pauses in such an amazing song and short performance 😢

[@phoenixlee7949]

They're listening so intently

[@CozetM]

About the starting and stopping a lot, he addressed it in the disclaimer before the video started. For copyright reasons, they have to pause and talk

[@jo.s7993]

Apparently he was nervous doing this performance, because his parents were in the audience. That was the cause of the huge smile at the end.

[@zimjun7]

So I heard...

[@leahthompson8282]

Awww! That's so, sweet. I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.🙏😍👍

[@MrMacky-co6zn]

He smiled because he had hit his notes perfectly and it was first time mother had been to public performance

[@Hayleymo]

Not only was his mother in the audience, but he'd had a really nasty cold and he'd been concerned that the live performance would let everyone down. Obviously it wasn't a problem, because he delivered a performance that still has a massive emotional impact nearly 60 years down the line.

[@SnowMonkeyCantSing]

He had a terrible cold, and should not have been singing. EDIT: What Haley said.

[@lcbrittain]

I love these people. They are so clean, so honest, so perceptive. They view these artists through a child’s eyes, without prejudice, and make such beautiful, unexpected observations.

[@easytrapeezee]

Totally x

[@mayasilliman1465]

I love when these 3 tribal elders are listening to one of our greatest songs of old. They really dissect the words and feeling well!!!! These guys are awesome human beings. Thanks so much for posting. I never miss them now.

[@easytrapeezee]

They're such lovely people..wise and innocent. Wowx

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song, no auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! ❤❤❤❤

[@romystumpy1197]

Andy williams could sing a good song

[@angelagardner5230]

he definatly owns this song

[@julieclapton2742]

I was 12 ❤

[@Mandy-H2O]

After the amazing performance by Bobby Hatfield, I think Austin Brown does this beautiful song justice.

[@lindarushton6502]

It's very unusual watching this group of people, who are very culturally different to us, appreciate this music and the song.

[@TheUniverseWorksForUsBeings]

Myself, watching their reactions...have learned and enjoyed seeing their perspectives. I've watched a few of these videos, and they are mostly spot on! Music=unity... You don't need to understand the words, music is a feeling(s). I hope you had a good new year.

[@spacefanatic]

Many singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. No auto tune or gimmicks just pure talent. 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 watching him sing live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch when he hits the high notes at the end he does not contort his face like most singers do when reaching a high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.

[@furtherdefinitions1]

Now they should hear both of them doing " You've Lost That Loving Feeling".

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

YES!!! I hope they do.

[@chitlitlah]

He spent a lot of time describing how the two "brothers" have quite a different sound to their voices to only show one of them. Surely they'll do that song next.

[@AirAssault7]

"(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" is another good one, but "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" definitely takes the cake.

[@jaewok5G]

it'll be pretty awkward explaining why a song is a "panty dropper"

[@SondraLondonAuthor]

Yeah he missed a beat there. It was a whole buildup to the Brothers.... then no resolution. He probably did resolve it in real life, explain this was just one of them singing... but that part got edited out, for some OTHER reason... but regardless, I always enjoy these sessions. "Nothing compares 2U" and "Nessun Dorma" were a couple I recently enjoyed seeing them share. In the past, I like how they revere Mr Rogers & Bob Ross.

[@normajeanmcdaniel4491]

This was my Dad's favorite song and group. Before he died, Dad got to meet the singer! He was spraying for bugs 🐛 at a mansion one day, and Bill Medley walked in!😮 Dad didn't know whose house it was. He said he was a huge fan (he was a teenager when this song was popular), and Bill Medley treated him like an honored guest, showed him his music room w all the awards, everything. Spraying for insects isn't a glamorous job😂, so it meant even more that this music legend treated him so well. When my Dad was sick and dying, I used to bring earphones to the hospital, and we'd watch or listen to things together ❤️. It always started and ended w this song. It was his favorite til the end. I miss my Dad, even though I'm 50.😢 But this song always makes me smile. I never knew that song was written in 1930, and my Dad didn't either. My Dad was born in 1943. So, the song is older than he was! I'll never forget the kindness this singer showed my working-class father. Total respect. - 🌴 just me in Palm Springs, California, USA, Earth 🌎 ♥️ 🌴

[@acommentator4452]

righteous by name and righteous by nature. thank you for sharing that beautiful story.

[@ytgas1]

Wonderful story and memories ! Love how this song and singer are being shared for miles all in this small space❤

[@marymichael1211]

No, this song was NOT written in 1930. It was written for the movie "Unchained" in 1955. There were many recordings of it. The Righteous Brothers Bobby Hatfield made a recording of it and this performance on the Andy Williams Show on television in 1965.

[@aspenhill1479]

"Just you" is fabulous. Wonderful son.

[@brendaconry1402]

This is a beautiful song, and his voice was also a thing of beauty. This was performed for a live sudience, not in a studio. His mother was there, too. How proud she must have been. Now you will need to show them one with both "brothers" so they can hear what you told about the group.

[@TRYBALS]

Hi Brenda hope you're doing great. Looks like you know well what I asked Mashoque in the end, though that segment was deleted. I asked him if he thinks we should listen to both of the duo sometime and he said: I was gonna say the same 😄

[@brendaconry1402]

@@TRYBALS Hello, Adnan. I'm doing well, thank you. I hope the same for you. I was surprised that you talked about the group and their unique voices, but gave them a solo to start with. But that left them wanting more, so it was probably a good idea.

[@acharney55416]

Extraordinary to see the insight of his guests and of their careful observation of every nuance of Bobby's performance and every facial expression. They have an amazing insight into human emotions and made observations about the performance that, even after seeing this clip dozens of times over the years, I had not noticed.

[@daveray44]

I'm an American that just so happened upon this video. I really enjoyed following along with these fine gentlemen! Very good explanations, emotions, and reactions!

[@monicabyas8663]

I am in Tennessee in the United States. I really enjoy watching your reactions to some of the Greatest Music from the US. Thank you and God Bless. 🙏🏻

[@judithoden]

Goosebumps at the end. Never get tired of this song and Bobby Hatfield. RIP. You are missed.

[@mmckenzie8085]

I just love listening to you guys and your reactions.

[@TakenTook]

It saddens me to hear Mr. Abdul call himself illiterate. Even if he is unable to read printed words, he has the vocabulary of someone with far more formal education than he probably received. More importantly, he has both the intelligence to remember SO MANY things that he has learned along the way, and the wisdom to know how to integrate all of that data and apply it to other situations. I would argue that it is actually more difficult to retain all of that information in your brain, without being able to write some of it down to refer to later. That's probably also why his understanding of poetry and song lyrics always seems to be the most accurate of the group, as well as his interpretations of the visual aspects of the music videos. So for someone who perhaps never learned how to read and write, I would argue that he's actually quite a bit smarter than most of us with a lot of silly alphabet soup after our names.

[@acommentator4452]

he is a poet. kudos to him.

[@daverhoden445]

I agree. He might be literally illiterate, but he's not illiterate in the insulting way the word is often used. He radiated wisdom and peace.

[@benjaminbarrera214]

He's illiterate in that he can't read or write, but when it comes to understanding music, poetry, etc., he is an expert.

[@lauraylilly]

There needs to be some word that describes the skills it takes to do mental compositions, such as his poetry, for oral tradition. Because I am just as illiterate in those abilities as he is when it comes to writing! I'd love to hear some of his poetry sometime.

[@jolla9963]

Music truly transends our cultural differences. Beautiful music is beautiful music no matter what language it is sang in. We can all appreciate a nice melody and or tune.

[@roadwary]

Oh wow their cloths are absolutely beautiful. What vivid lively colors. I'll bet everything is handmade which makes it that much better.

[@karenpowell6063]

Just beautiful, this song preformed by Bobby Hatfield is THE most well known version of this lovely song. It's been played everywhere since 1964 even featured in the movie called the Ghost

[@ValleyKnown]

I love the editing style, and the set is always so beautiful. Always happy to see these folks

[@SherryDocchio]

Very good reaction and excellent analysis of the song and the singer. Bobby Hatfield will always be one of the greatest singers and interpreters of a song.

[@avidrdr5640]

The song was written for a movie titled "Unchained", 10 years before this performance. It's about a man in prison longing for his love and hoping she waits for him to be released. That's why "time goes by so slowly".

[@SteveAumann]

Man this is a very good video 👏👏I completely enjoyed it, your choice is this song is spot on.👍

[@user-gy8pc4qu9w]

I adore this channel. It would be amazing if Trybals could give tours so that we could meet these wonderful people.

[@brendaconry1402]

They were a very unusual group for their time. As you were telling your participants about how they became known as the "Righteous Brothers" there is a back story. In the Black community (African Americans), Brother (and sister) were how they referred to each other. Likewise, "righteous" was slang for something excellent or amazing. The story goes that the duo had performed in a club and when they were leaving a Black gentleman in the audience said, "That was righteous, brothers." A high compliment. The Black music community also developed a genre that came to be known ss "soul." The Righteous Brothers music was called "blue-eyed soul" because they were white guys singing soul music.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

Thank you brenda. I had heard "blue-eyed soul" before but forgot why. Now I'll never forget🥰

[@SteveAumann]

Yep you’re so right 👍👍

[@marieneu264]

Very interesting! Love learning something new, thanks!

[@foofookachoo1136]

Thank u so much for this beautiful story!! It’s an interesting one!!

[@Lilli-qd2xl]

Ok.. but why it is important if they are black or white singer, Band or whatever ? For example classic music is played by black people as well, but nobody of the white people would say like"hey this is our music". Music is for all people and i think everyone should play what he likes. I don't understand and i think it's wrong this black/white thinking in art.

[@schmedrake5429]

Adnan, you have such a good grasp on English and Western culture. I love these reactions.

[@dorisday3129]

Thank you so much for this reaction video. I truly appreciated it 😊

[@sundayoliver3147]

I learned a lot about the Righteous Brothers and this song-- even though I grew up hearing both of them!

[@ideasareLIMITLESS]

This is very interesting...such different cultures and yet they appreciate the singer, his voice and the song. So lovely to know that SOME things are the same for us all...love. These men are quite poetic the way they understand and speak about the feelings of the song. We also often love the sound of Eastern music as well, even when we cant understand a word.

[@tracymetherell8744]

When I hear this I experience his LONGING for his love. He HUNGERS for her touch. So beautiful

[@peppermoon7485]

Bobby Hatfield ❤my teenage crush !

[@peppermoon7485]

#his mom was watching him from the audience…the smile at the end , he was smiling at her !

[@Bagheera23608]

Adnan, this one is special. This is my parents' song. In the US many couples have a "song" that is " theirs". It's hard to explain lol. But this one is my parents. They've been married for over 55 years! I've grown up listening to this song and I will never not think of them when I hear it. To hear these gentlemen's perspective of it was delightful. Thank you so much for this

[@CamCam-mq6ji]

You and your parents are blessed 💪🏼

[@glennad.6548]

I find it interesting that they had to be explained the word hunger and how it was used in this song.

[@remyhocage9854]

Wow, so very sophisticated; reactions & interpretations spot on ! Their explanations of love & the pain it can cause are moving and romantic. Thank you, I really enjoyed this.

[@GinnySmith-m1e]

Wow Wow Wow is right!! The song is a classic, always moving and thrilling.👏 💐 💗 🙋

[@GinnySmith-m1e]

@Ginny Smith - Only Bobby Hatfield could perform this song this way, with such passion and feeling and beauty.💗

[@timberwolfdtproductions3890]

These gentlemen are so genuine and warm and insightful, that it’s a joy to watch them react to great music!

[@buzzsah]

Good video, helps us understand how other feel, from other parts of the globe

[@redscape]

The gentlemen commented on sorrow hiding behind the singer's smile. Smokey Robinson's 'Tears of a Clown' might be a nice song for these guys to take a look at.

[@Linda-v8d]

I love these three gentlemen. So kind and loving, wishing the best for the people they watch. Thay G-d will watch over them.

[@davidlincoln78240]

I love that you introduced this to your culture. It shows that music transcends cultures.

[@sandralorenz1796]

This is the way entertainers dressed way back when. The audience dressed up too. You need to listen to Bobby sing "Ebb Tide". RIP Bobby. This song was written in 1955 for a movie called "Unchained" about a man in prison. Hundreds of people have sung this song....NOBODY sings it like Bobby Hatfield.

[@davidlincoln78240]

Oh My God! "Even if he gets someone else to love him, He'd never feel the same that he did before! That is me!!!!!

[@Gramakin]

Very wise, gentlemen! You are speaking many truths. Blessings to you.

[@robynandrews4384]

I can no longer hear this song without picturing the "Ghost" scene in my head ❤️

This interview was amazing. The listeners’ responses surprised me.

[@quantumrain2412]

I always get tingles up and down when he says ‘are you still mine’

[@mariaangelicabrunellsolar7086]

That demonstrates that Bobby's rendition of that song is a universal work of art!

[@MaryHand-px2ed]

I too was 15yrs when I heard this ( on radio...we couldn't afford a TV ).I waited impatiently for it to be played again and thankfully didn't have to wait too long.The station was inundated with requests.My parents bought the SINGLE and a record player.We ( the whole family enjoyed all kinds of music together ) I MISS THOSE DAYS.

[@teresacartwright5406]

Both men truly understood the meaning and emotions of the song - the singing itself says it all. Music has no language, only the feelings one derives from it. Rest in peace Bobby Hatfield.

[@jenmindra3294]

I love this channel so much. Thank you.

[@ChristChickAutistic]

Next you have to listen to You're My Soul and Inspiration, the harmonies are transcendent, and the Wall of Sound by Phil Spector, the genius producer/murderer. I consider this particular performance of Unchained Melody one of the best live performances of the 20th century, up there with Queen at Live Aid and Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma during the Three Tenors tour.

[@joyfullife5898]

Love these guys .. Thank you from UK 🇬🇧

It would be great to see a reaction for The Band and The Staple Singers - The weight ( The Last Waltz ).

[@JAbate-ub8ht]

Always amazed with Chacha's wisdom. Also want to say all of the reactors are wonderful, but I most align with Mashoque's take on things. I really appreciate this channel!

[@susanmcewan302]

Absolutely beautiful and genuine reaction, ty!

[@moonistew]

A bit of history of the song was so very interesting, and so were the elders' reactions 👍🙏💙

[@debharrell]

I adore your reactions ❤❤

[@JustTanya.]

I love this version with Bobby Hatfield singing this live. He was a bit nervous because his mom was in the audience but he had nothing to be nervous about. He did such an amazing performance here. I hope you'll get a chance to show both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley singing together. Definitely would suggest "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". If I may offer another suggestion, The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun". It's a brother and sister group. Karen and Richard Carpenter. Richard wrote most of their songs and Karen has one of the most incredible and consistent voices. She was also an awesome drummer. Richard wrote "We've Only Just Begun" after hearing the chorus part of the song on a commercial for a bank. They're from my hometown of Downey, California and both went to my high school, Downey High. Karen Carpenter was in the band, as was I, so I found some things about her in the band room from time to time. After they renovated the school, they now have a memorial wall dedicated to The Carpenters as well as other famous people that went there. You've already listened to one, James Hetfield, the lead singer from Metallica. He went to Downey High his freshman/sophmore year. He bought his first guitar there from another kid at the school and taught himself to play it. 😎👍

[@terrywall3287]

The Carpenters' "We've only just begun" was sung at my wedding immediately after the ceremony as we were walking back down the aisle to leave the sanctuary. (We got married in 1975)

[@blockklocker]

The words this man sings come from the experience of being in prison, chained. He is going back home hopefully to find his love there still waiting for his return. ❤️

[@raysouza6535]

There was an interview with Bill Medley and he was offered the song first and he turned it down saying, he didn't think it would be a hit, so Bobby Hatfield did it and Bill Medley said he said he was kicking himself after.

[@catherinelw9365]

That was a joke. The real reason is this song is better suited for Bobby's counter-tenor.

[@marymichael1211]

That was a joke which became a rumor. Bobby Hatfield sang this song with his original group The Variations, and said in an interview "I had that one in my pocket".

[@elizabethmcnally3037]

This was lovely to experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@isntlovegrand6640]

Gentlemen, I so much appreciate your wisdom and love of music. 🇨🇦😊

[@adrianaslund8605]

The 3:27 Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? I know that reference! He was an inspiration to Jeff Buckley. Nusrat had a powerful head voice. That's when you hit very high notes in a natural voice. Not falsetto.

[@brendacawston9236]

Beautiful song . Very insightful comments 👍🙂

[@joanneharper9090]

I hope you will share the Beatles sometime. They are the best selling band of all time. They have influenced other performers for 60 years!

Quickly becoming a favorite YT channel. Love these insights. Haven’t seen this reaction yet but I’d rank this performance among the greatest Western live vocals ever captured. Very curious to hear their take.

[@amykolterman3744]

Saw a video that you did a year ago and it was mentioned on the actual Natives from America, doing singing. They are out there, you just have to know what to look for. There was a group of tribes that got together and put a good presentation of the spirituality and music of the Native people. It has modern dancing, story telling, singing and the 'heart beat drum'. It's called Spirit:A Journey in Dance Drums and Song. It moves you as well as you can see the dancers/musicians being taken over by their spirit animals.

[@francinefernandes2007]

[@fairgreen42]

Oh! That's a good suggestion!

[@addrearosian]

This must be one of the most graceful reactions video I have ever watched! It's so heartwarming to know that I can now watch this interaction in my home in Romania (Eastern Europe). Here, traditional village music has given way to more commercial music styles within the space of 2-3 generations. Kindly, I would like to know if there still is traditional Sindhi music (which I read is mostly Sufi poetry?) performed regularly in villages, by villagers, today. Though not a Sindhi, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is the Pakistani singer that I have listened to regularly. Though I cannot speak Urdu, I'm a great fan. Please, keep up the good work with this channel, I really think it's great!
