[@beegee1960]

One of the greatest live solo performances in musical history. And it was live, in one take.

[@annemariefleming]

And no auto-tune or other electronic tricks...sheer talent.

[@LoneStarLawman]

It was also one of the last songs sung by Elvis, which incredibly, was as good or even better.

[@MichelleHuff-wk1ui]

Live on the Andy Williams show, I think. The live show , this is the very best He did his own extreme high note at the end. Just soo beautiful!. This is Bobby

[@buddydeal7695]

As a child of the 50s and 60s, I love to see the appreciation of “our” music by today’s youth. Makes me smile.

[@SYRSALLY]

Me too. I’m 72

[@chuckcarles8288]

I am 81 and have heard several artist before Bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of there albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we now. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.

[@thomass5169]

Charles, now 82..., That was the most comprehensive explanation of this song I have ever read. Thanks.

[@mikeseymour6002]

Kudos to the younger reactors. Almost to person they all say we need more of this kind of music.

[@64ytb]

Thank you. So good to know the story behind this timeless song. It will be with humanity for a long long time. I am so glad that the younger ones are now discovering it. This song and Bobby deserve its place in history of humanity. It cannot be forgotten. Let the legend lives on forever. Thanks to modern technology, many iconic songs are coming out into the open once again.

[@ChicagoDB]

It's a pity that most people only know this song from the studio version used in Ghost...this live performance is vastly superior! 2 full octaves...effortlessly!

[@williammartin9783]

2 and a half!

[@MelodyRose124]

Agreed

[@anncain2432]

Ironically, Patrick would have agreed with you.

[@delugesofgrandeur]

I'm surprised that some have never even heard this before at all. When you're white some things are just ubiquitous to you and you don't realize that not everyone's parents were listening to the oldies station in the car.

[@jpmangen]

Comes out cold live tv and nails it. No gimmicks or auto tune.

[@ValenciaGamble]

Purely talented. Purely gifted.

[@ellavader4411]

Autotuned in utero ... That adorable lip bite at the end! Next you gotta check out Bill and Bobby's "What'd I Say" live appearance on Andy Williams show (Is it just me? Andy kinda looks like the Scott brothers TLC) These guys are sooo cute ... See Bobby dance!!!!

[@escout2004]

You should check out Leonard Cohen’s hallelujah

[@annacarrasquillo1282]

@@ValenciaGamble it's not only the voice, it's also the words of the song. Back then music was felt not just heard. Music got into your heart and soul. I wish more young people could know how wonderful the music really was. This is why older folks don't really like the music of today. It's just hard and almost cold. I'm not saying the artists today are not talented, it just doesn't touch you the way it used to.

[@Mephiam]

No ear piece to keep on key either. He Was going to be on key no worries. It was up to the band to keep up.

[@johnl7710]

I am old and this is still the best live performances I have ever seen RIP Bobby Hatfield.

[@davidvanriper60]

Darling, you were serenaded by one of the great "crooners" of all time.... Bless you

[@mariareale9040]

Legend has it that his parents were in the audience and singing it for his mother who was from Sweden. Bobby obviously got his good looks from his beautiful mom. He was so happy singing. RIP DEAR BOBBY

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

"in color was making me feel what he sang" read: Those blue eyes slayed me.

[@pharamathews5152]

I know you're right about the eyes & getting to see/hear the emotion in his vocals. Color TV just came out in 1965 & lucky for us in time for this amazing performance. "You Lost That Loving Feeling" was recorded on a Dec. 1964 TV program so it's B&W.

[@GrtSatan]

No theatrics, no histrionics, Bobbie just stands there and delivers one of the most amazing performances ever recorded.

[@500midnightmary]

Bobby was a contra tenor. There is probably one born in each generation. They are not always found. So I guess you could say he was touched by the angels. He doesn't have to force it. He doesn't need auto tune. He has the talent and the brains to know how to use his voice. He also had a head cold for this live performance.

[@markplacker5651]

His mama was in the audience....he wanted to please her and make her proud. He pleased all of us. And made us all proud. Live.....

[@christophermondone6864]

No one since this airing on live TV, no one has done this song justice in my opinion. They never reached the Plato that Bobby did it with this song. It will stand the test of time what perfection is.

[@paulpeterson4216]

I love to watch women melt when they hear this song

[@stephenlane9168]

Bobby Hatfield (Rip 1940-2003) was a legendary tenor, arguably the greatest ever. Perfect pronunciation and vowels singing. He sang this solo and was his achievement. Beautiful voice 👌

[@TheRootedWord]

This performance brings tears to my eyes every time and I am a strong guy!!! Ex-military! :-))))

[@PresentFocus]

lol. Same.

[@stephensutton4286]

ex para, an it still gets me

[@dortheychastain2195]

I love that little lip bite at the end. He knew he nailed it!! And that last note is one very few men can sing.

[@nataliemobley4679]

Yesss that lip bite made my heart ❤️ sing!!!!!!!!

[@RachelLWolfe]

3:20 yes Bobby Hatfield had the voice of an angel. He is probably my favorite singer of all time. This song still gives me chills when I hear him singing. His parents were in the audience that night and he was nervous about the song coming off perfect. I imagine his parents were so proud of him that night. You nailed it Bobby! Absolutely perfection! Rest in peace. ❤🎶❤🎵

[@rockrips]

Anyone who's ever truly loved someone is taken away with this song...for me, it's for my late wife. RIP, Bobby.

[@ValenciaGamble]

I’m so sorry 😔

[@MelodyRose124]

I’m sorry for your loss

[@beegee1960]

When you stopped the video and was raving about how angelic his voice was all I could think was “Honey, you ain’t seen nothing yet.” Made me smile to watch you experience the rest of the song. Great reaction.

[@wessew6185]

Same here. I knew she'd she'd a tear after she said she hadn't.

[@katherinebrown6368]

I was thinking the same thing !

Same!! lol! I was on the edge of my chair grinning because I knew what was about to hit! lmao!!

[@marielaveau5321]

I've been hearing this song my entire life and this performance STILL makes me feel that same way. He was a stunning young man with an extraordinary talent. Wore the HELL outta that pink suit, too. 😎💜💚💛

[@patriciagreen9936]

Please carry on with ur open mind - I’m 65 and it’s really refreshing to hear a young like-minded person.

[@ronaldolson1045]

Bobby the beauty of your voice will never leave us rest in peace

[@robertlavallee591]

Summertime...they were so comfortable together that Bobby didn't mind taking the backseat to Bill,they worked it out that way because Bobby was great at harmonizing for Bill allowing his Baritone to shine through.

[@davidmastro5406]

Bobby Hatfield was an incredible talent, and, with this song, I think he made every woman feel like he was singing especially for them. Great reaction, Valencia. Be well.

[@MichelleHuff-wk1ui]

The way he showed up facing you towards the end, he looked like he was singing straight to you...pretty awesome❤

[@colleenklatush3317]

It’s pure raw talent back then bobby hits it perfectly no autotune in those days just beautiful music to your ears

[@judyxyz9948]

BOBBY has the tenor voice. This is perfection.

[@jimnicosia5934]

A God gifted man who was very shy.

[@kbretro64]

You can see his beautiful blue eyes with that soul.

[@lesliegeddes7896]

Beautiful reaction! Bobby Hatfield with the voice of an angel, pouring his soul into every note, and melting all of our hearts! Exuding charm and sincerity throughout the glorious vocals - my favorite performance of a love song ever. RIP and thank you. 🕊 💙 ⚡

[@chuckyost6973]

He was 25 yrs old and his mom and dad where in the audience for the first time. He was especially inspired!

[@cgwen6034]

I got to see this live on tv in 1965 and it's a lot better than in Ghost.

[@michaelwinkelman7165]

A gift from God that man singing for us I listened to them for years and now he's home singing with the Angels.

[@lynnkowalla1315]

It's beautiful to see a younger generation enjoy this

[@Killvoid13]

It proves the soul is real. You can feel real music deep inside.

[@barbaramejias2886]

william fox , that is what I remember about this song in 1965, I had 3 brothers that enlisted in the Army together, In 1964 my oldest Bro went to Guatemala, one went to Germany, and one to Vietnam, my poor Mom & Dad but they all came home safe! This song was a tool for a lot of Military men that year!!

[@ronaldolson1045]

Bobby's voices with the angels now take good care of him

[@valeries9290]

AND HES SO HANDSOME!!!!! THOSE EYES....THAT JAW LINE.....SO DREAMY

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

I watched him preform this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. This man was so handsome and owned this song. No one will ever sing like does. His voice is so awesome! I still get goosebumps even today as I did in 1965. I'm 72 yrs old and want my children to play this song at my funeral. This is Bobby's song. RIP Bobby!!!💞💞💞

[@ursula1893]

Many people have tried to sing this song. No one...NO ONE...could ever top Bobby Hatfield- the original. I fell in love with him and his voice way back when. I was 12. ❤❤❤❤❤ My Heart still melts every time I hear him sing this song.

[@bettygrisi1213]

I feel your reaction...:) This was the music I was brought up on. This was a live performance. No autotune...just talent. And, those blue eyes are to die for.

[@Gen_X_Rosey]

I love your reactions to both the Righteous Brothers videos that you watched. It made me smile.

Not sure if you know this, but I’ve reacted to 5 Righteous Brothers songs so far.

[@tammyborkholder3922]

I love seeing young people appreciate the beautiful music that we got to hear when we were young! There was no auto tune back then it was just straight talent! Good reaction!

[@Sunny-jz3dy]

I've never heard Anyone that could sing it better than Bobby Hatfield!!! The range & control he had with his voice is unmatched! Most guys have to strain to hit those high notes...watch Bobby's face when he's singing...smooth!!! He did this Live & No auto tune!!! He and Bill actually flipped a coin over who got to sing this song! lol

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Just natural raw GOD given talent, something you'ee not probably not used to hearing.

He wasn't just singing, he was sanging! Extraordinary performance. This was real singing here.

[@tanyaphillips4518]

Let the good times roll!!! Bobby out does everyone on this song!!! Keep him going in your life & your friends and family!! I just wish Bobby could see all of your reactions!! He was very humble & would have even blushed but he also would have been proud that yoyyoung people are loving him!!! He does more solos as well as Bill but together they are beautiful too!!! However, Bobby has us from the first moment til the last on his most magnificent, beautiful song ever!!! Enjoy & pass him, them on!!! God bless!! FYI I'm STILL in a beautiful trance hearing & watching him!! So cool!! So Righteous!!! ❤️🌹😍🥰❤️🌹😍🥰😁🌹

He is the ONLY HUMAN to have his incredible range TO DATE. His voice was a miracle imo.

[@skarpio2000]

You teared up. Like me. Hahaha. love it.

[@nugmeg1954]

When your face, "tightens up" with emotion, I recommend listening to a song called "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells from 1968. I think there's a dance that goes along with it. Your Mom will most likely know this song also. Keep on, keeping on...

[@sharonjohnston4806]

Bobby was my idol. I’m with you. I much prefer to hear just him. We truly did lose an icon.

[@nancydanise5073]

This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show there were no do overs or auto-tone just his God given voice from the heavens above. His performance was effortless, smooth and sheer perfection no one will ever compare to Bobby Hatfield singing this song. Many artists before and after him have done this song but no one will ever do it better.this whole performance was sheer perfection. This girl is experiencing what we got to grow up to.Loved her reaction and her disbelief of what he was capable of doing. They each did many solos in their careers.

[@tombbc1431]

It was beautiful watching your emotional reaction and I knew he would blow your mind with the songs ending ... a live performance .. no electronic enhancements just perfection as his mother too sat in the audience. ❤❤❤

So glad to hear youngun's of today can get as wrapped up in this song as we women (and men) have been doing for 57 years when music was music..luv your reaction.

[@janetgallo5720]

This performance by countertenor, Bobby Hatfield will make history. It’s a live performance, the gold standard for the song forever. It’s a masterpiece.

[@09shelby15]

Sounds amazing and the song happens to be one of the greatest ever written.

[@jimfarrell4145]

You have had an introduction to one of the greatest voices of all time. Your reaction to his performance was typical of most women who hear this. He has other solos, all on You Tube. Here are a few: Only You, Somewhere, Ebb Tide, My Prayer, I believe. I feel sure upon listening to these, you will search out the rest of his songs. His style, filled with heart, soul and emotion will grab you and won't let you go. He is definitely one of a kind AND he certainly is pleasing to look upon. Cathy

[@dianaskrutskie7314]

Love your reaction. If you want to watch a really fun video that makes you want to dance, listen to them do "What'd I Say" from the same Andy Williams show where Bobby sang Unchained Melody. They're having so much fun and it's really cute. You get to see their personalities. Also, check out Bobby doing "Summertime" Live. It's called "Bobby Hatfield - Summertime 1965. There's an HC-50 in the middle of the screen. Love your reactions. Keep it up:-)

[@MichelleHuff-wk1ui]

Yes. Check out Summertime. Omg!

[@jimfarrell4145]

Great reaction, very much like my own. Bobby Hatfield is in a class of his own--angelic voice, filled with emotion, heart, and soul. There are many solos by Bobby on You Tube--You really get to feel the many facets of his great talent. His great love songs are Only You, Ebb Tide, Somewhere, he sings some real rocking songs, Doo Wop, Great inspirational songs like " My Prayer, I believe, Crying in the Chapel, He. There are more and you owe it to yourself to enjoy them. This is by far the best video of him performing. Some don't have video of him singing, but are still great. Check them out--you will be bowled over !! Cathy p.s. AND he is so handsome !!!!

[@BatyaWernick]

I swear I fall in love with this guy every time I hear this.

[@TheRootedWord]

This performance leaves everyone speechless!, men and women. There are no words to describe the feelings from this song or the experience of it. It is truly the only perfect performance I know of.

[@kevinkool3]

That lower lip bite at the end...WOW!... signified him being pleased with his live performance here. I believe his mother was in the audience during this particular Andy Williams Show in 1965.

[@donnanutt3650]

I love your comment about his voice touched by angels. I was a child when he sang this song. Huge hit. HUGE

[@aquilifergroup]

Yeah, great performance. Talent. Even now we recognize his gift. Nice reaction.

[@deanathomas60]

Loved your your reaction...you just spoke from your heart with true heartfelt simplicity. You don't need alot of words , everyone can see what you are feeling and share in the experience of listening to Bobby. BTW, Bill was lead in "You've lost that lovin' feelining" because it required his bass voice. Bobby of course sang this song solo as no bass voice was needed. They are and always will be legendary!

THIS is REAL PERFORMING! Sincere from his heart, every note, word and emotion. NOBODY else can even come close - Mr. Hatfield IS this song!

Only words in heaven can describe that

[@paulschmidt1644]

Hi VG, I’m new to your channel Bobby Hatfields voice will take you on an emotional roller coaster, if you like this you might like Stevie Ray Vaughan “life with out you” live at capital theater, Stevie is a soul/blues singer BB King and Eric Clapton said that Stevie was the greatest guitarist of all time as well as many other artists. Stevie died in a helicopter crash in 1990 at the young age of 35. RIP SRV gone but never forgotten.

[@FrancisP-b5u]

A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE

[@frankcapuzzi3279]

Wow, I have to comment after seeing several of these videos, the presenters you can see are mesmerised by him and you can see in their eyes and face as they drift into their memories and relate to the lyrics, I'm 70 now and I am pissed that I only saw this recently but like everyone else I'm hooked and cannot stop looking at more.

[@MaryEllen10862]

Love you reaction! There is nothing better then the music from the 60s and 70s it was never auto tuned or anything like they do today. You got on stage with your mic you band and you gave it all you had. It was just great vocals and pure raw talent. I miss this kind of music so much from back then but I have my memories of these eras of the best ever music which are still to this day amazing!

[@AmatureAstronomer]

Though Bobby displayed extreme range and absolute control of his velvet voice here, he lacked today's flashing lights, fireworks, dancing about on the stage and twerking big bottomed girls

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

Yeah, such a shame (not!)!!

[@JMAM006]

NO. Just no. He didn't need any displays. He probably never needed any gadgets either ;)

[@stephensutton4286]

and im so glad

[@ladyg8614]

DEFINITELY NOT!!!!! The man did not need ANY junk cluttering up his beautiful natural voice.

[@johnmackey3937]

Bobby didn't need distractions like today's "performers". The distractions didn't come for a while to hide bad "talent "

[@nomdaploom]

A great, honest, real reaction. We don't need words, just real feelings. And there's no shame whatsoever in shedding a few tears when you hear a song sung or played beautifully, particularly a love song like this one. That's the magic of music; the most wonderful language in the world and when sung or played by geniuses, it captures our souls and gives us a glimpse of heaven.

[@sherigrow6480]

Audio only for his For Your Love, I Need A Girl, both record and live of Summertime, great live version of My Prayer as well. RBs were featured on a weekly music show 1964-66 called Shindig. Lots of b/w video clips of varying film quality from their live performances. My favorite might be them on I Need Your Loving Everyday. Bobby was ridiculously talented, as was/is Bill. They both sang with such feeling, sharing their emotions, it always felt personal. Still hurts my heart that Bobby is gone.

[@05jorgeruiz]

Love your honest reaction!!!!!

[@billkarg3935]

Absolutely loved your reaction! “Unchained Melody” was written for a prison movie titled 'Unchained' (1955). The lyrics were written from a prisoners perspective longing for his loved one he had left behind. Bobby Hatfield (1940-2003) and Bill Medley make up the Righteous Brothers . In 1965 on a live television program (The Andy Williams Show) Bobby Hatfield gave one of the greatest live television performances in history. If you want to hear more of their great music, try: “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” which was the most played song of the 20th Century. Also “Soul and Inspiration”, “Rock And Roll Heaven” and “Ebb Tide”, "Somewhere", "My Prayer", "I Believe", "Crying in the Chapel” and "Only You".

[@bodisci]

There's a video of Bill singing this as a tribute to Bobby. Broke my heart!

[@sammyp4216]

I said this on the reaction video to you lost that loving feeling but if you can find the version where they talk before he takes the stage not only do they talk about the fact they're not actually brothers and a fan said "you all some righteous brothers!" , but, they also talk about the fact that bobby wanted to do this song and the other brother didn't think it would be a hit so said do it solo on the b side of the record! Biggest hit and played song they've ever had and only one brother in it the one that's usually in the background!!! Love seeing you get into the music for what it is though! Was priceless seeing you disover the righteous brothers!!!!!

[@ewaldbracko1534]

And another one left speechless by his voice, ha ha!
