As others have mentioned: 1965. Live performance. No autotune, no sophisticated audio filters, no retakes or dubbing. Just pure, raw, disciplined talent. I wish we had music and singers like this today.

I’m 73 years old and remember him doing this on the Andy Williams Show in 1965 when I was 15. Bill Medly and Andy are listening in the wings. I can’t think of a more beautiful song than this by the late great Bobby Hatfield RIP. This is the Gold Standard since this has been covered by over 670 artists. No autotune, just pure talent. His vocal range is un-matched. What more can you say about this performance. This is greatness

And his mom was in the audience seeing him perform live on stage for the first time. And this was one of her favorite songs. This clip doesn't include Bobby and Bill talking with Andy Williams before the performance, but you can find it here on KZbin. In that exchange you can hear in his voice how nervous Bobby was. The very first line he sung was a little tremulous, after that he was in complete control.

To give you some background... Bobby Hatfield sang tenor/countertenor. On that night he had a bit of a cold, his mom was in the audience, never having heard him sing live before, and he was worried about that top note at the end. Nailed it! 3 minutes of sheer perfection, live, no autotune, just talent. Many have tried this song, but Bobby owns this. IMHO this performance is better than the studio release. This was also featured in the movie, Ghost, with Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze, and Whoopi Goldberg. Love your reaction! Even after hearing it so many times I still get tears!

The NBC Studio Orchestra's music arrangement of this Alex North composed song with lyrics by Hy Zaret (1955). In my humble opinion this is the best version of this song "Unchained Melody" ever! You add the great Counter Tenor vocals by the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, and it becomes an instant classic. Brilliant!

It’s one of the most covered songs in music history. This is the definitive version of this superb song. Sadly, most people have only ever heard the record/studio/radio version…used in the movie “Ghost”…which is a pity because this version is far more dynamic and powerful. Bobby was a superb Countertenor.

Worse commentary? You can just enjoy the song elsewhere. I have found great value in listening to the analysis of music professionals who are really understand what is happening and how very difficult many of the things Bobby adds to this song are. And yet as many have commented, it all appears effortless. Such mastery and sincerity. As a reactor Nina is right up there with Beth Roars, Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice, and Fil at Wings of Pegasus. There are a few others with the skill to understand all the nuances as well. For those who do not know this, Bobby was that rarest of male singers - a true counter tenor. His high notes are not falsetto, he had the range to hit those notes right on without an adjustment in technique. Anybody can sway along and proclaim how the song makes them feel, often without knowing a thing about what they are listening to. One should not spurn the offer of deeper understanding.

Bobby was pure magic. You not only heard the songs that he sang, you felt them to your soul. Listening to Bobby is addictive, magical, and a pure joy. This will always be Bobby's song and there will never be another like him. He was unique, definitely one of a kind. A few other of his great solos is: My Prayer, Love You For Sentimental Reasons, Ebb Tide, For Your Love, Only You, and another one of my absolute favorites "Stay With Me". For me, Bobby was the voice of the Righteous Brothers. Fun fact: Bobby was being scouted for pro baseball while in college, but chose to do his music instead.

As you say. The song he didn't write became the song he lives. To me it's like 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash. No matter how many people (the best singers) sing it again, it will always be about what it was like before he sang it and what it was like after. But no one will be so special.

I have heard most of the other versions, but they all sound like funeral dirges. Bobby with his magical voice, lightened it up and now owns it forever. This is the standard by which all others are judged. It is said that his mother was sitting in the front row and it was the first time she had ever heard or see him perform live.

I would be willing to bet Dollars to Donuts, that "Bobby" could sing “Unchained Melody” without music (A cappella) and it would sound just as Spectacular, if not more so! ! ! The “Range” in his voice is Phenomenal! ! ! Imagine a song sung so Beautifully, it rips the heart out of almost all women, something very BEAUTIFUL to watch? ? ? What most people miss is that Bobby isn’t only singing, he’s "Begging and Imploring" his “LOVE” to wait for him! ! !

Bobby Hatfield delivers the gold standard of talent and blue eyed soul ever performed in a solo. This performance was even more stupendous than the studio cut which was the B side of a 45 and charted twice. Bobby's talent was soooo strong and diverse and extremely under rated. RIP Bobby Hatfield you gave us Boomers a piece of your heart and soul and touched ours. 1940-2003 PS try listening all the way thru without critiquing till the end and you'll be able to appreciate it in all it's glory.

I was a 9 year old kid growing up in New Jersey USA when this song come out in 1965. Me and my friend would listen to his older brothers 45 RPM record of this over and over. This song was written for a 1955 prison movie called 'Unchained" Hence the song title.

This is the benchmark for all male vocalists. Its not just his range, but how long he can carry a phrase with one breath and keep his musical quality perfect. His other achievement is how he does such challenging music so effortlessly. You keep waiting for that voice to break but no, he just keeps plowing on. The fact that he has inspired over 600 artists to cover it and no one has matched his performance, let alone done better, speaks to his achievement.

I really appreciate that you research the background of the music. It adds so much. So few do. So many of them ask how can it be Righteous Brothers, there is only one.
