WOW! Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin Reaction | Rere Reacts

[@MichaelChadwell-x9x]

This masterpiece was the most played song on radio and television in the 20th century, for real.

[@dalesouders4136]

Absolutely

[@danastearns7939]

The deep baritone from Bill Medley and the 3-octave tenor from Bobby Hatfield made for some really rich and beautiful harmony! 1964 - no auto tune. The most requested and played song of the 20th Century! Blue-eye soul at its best. they just don't make love songs like this any more - the 60's and 70's were full of the best and sweetest romance in music!

60 years ago in August/Sept 1964 The Righteous Brothers were only known sort of locally in California. They were hired to be one of the opening acts for the Beatles 1st big American tour. After a few weeks they left the tour, got a recording contract, and in January 1965 had the #1 record ...this one.

[@frankiek2269]

Not there yet. But yeah, It’s a milestone for 60 years being great. All that’s needed is another hit movie to premiere it and it’ll be at the top again.

[@davisworth5114]

Should watch the live version!

[@Linda-zm6lk]

This song had more airplay than any other song of the 20th century.

[@jamespron6844]

A timeless classic song….and a timeless sentiment. Blue eyed soul at its best.

[@scott3744]

What a great song... another all-time classic... 500 years from now this will *still* be a classic👍

[@InterfaceForHealthyLiving]

You've heard Bobby's magnificent solo 'Unchained Melody", now I think you should hear Bill's solo "Brown Eyed Woman" ... it's so good!. so soulful. Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers.

[@jokuz9133]

Beautiful reaction. Bobby would be so proud to see this reaction.

[@fronkykoko]

'Just Once In My Life' is my favourite song by them...

[@starman2337]

"Soul and Inspiration" is just as good.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

I'm glad you enjoyed the song, I'm in my mid-60s and this song is from my parent's playlist from 1964, I love that people in your age group are discovering music from this period. The Righteous Brothers' (You're My) Soul And Inspiration released in 1966 is another you'd like.

[@warrenfoil6851]

Just for the record, the bass singer is on the left side of the album cover, Bill Medly

[@BlueDragon53]

"Just The Way You Are" "She's Always A Woman" "Honesty" - Billy Joel

[@alexsaunders352]

great reaction , thank you , men are brought up not to show their feelings , but can show it in their songs , and in the music they play

[@hkynuts11]

The videos with these songs are fantastic.

[@ThistleAndSea]

The classic! Thanks for sharing this one.

[@josephsmith9059]

Young Lady you need to watch the videos of these songs to get the real gest of the song's of the Guys singing❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@scott3744]

About the way the song was mixed and mastered, from Wiki: "The song would become one of the foremost examples of Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique. It features the studio musicians the Wrecking Crew; playing on this recording were Don Randi on piano, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Carol Kaye and Ray Pohlman on bass, and Steve Douglas on sax. They were also joined by Barney Kessel on guitar and Earl Palmer on drums. Jack Nitzsche usually arranged the songs for Spector, but he was absent, and the arrangement was done by Gene Page. As with his other songs, Spector started by cutting the instrumental track first, building up layers of sound to create the Wall of Sound effect. The recording was done mono so Spector could fix the sound exactly as he wanted it. According to sound engineer Larry Levine, they started recording four acoustic guitars; when that was ready, they added the pianos, of which there were three; followed by three basses; the horns (two trumpets, two trombones, and three saxophones); then finally the drums. The vocals by Hatfield and Medley were then recorded and the strings overdubbed. The background singers were mainly the vocal group The Blossoms, accompanied by The Ronettes and joined in the song's crescendo by a young and then-unknown Cher. Reverb was applied in the recording, and more was added on the lead vocals during the mix. According to music writer Robert Palmer, the effect of the technique used was to create a sound that was "deliberately blurry, atmospheric, and of course huge; Wagnerian rock 'n' roll with all the trimmings." "

Because we did not have the technology that exists today, music was produced with little if any modifications. What you are hearing the real musicians and voices of the performers.

[@ronkrupovich7152]

I had a crush on my fifth grade teacher in LA when this song came out. One day after school was over, I was rushing out the door when my teacher asked me where I was going so quickly, I told her that I was going to buy the 45 record of You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling. She just shook her head and smiled! LOL. What a song--what a duo!

[@caliber7554]

Where was the video? It’s amazing!

[@kbhprinsesse]

You might also like Petula Clark's "Downton", I think it was released the same year, or maybe just one year apart. Another great 60's song.

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

Nice reaction ❤

[@williamcabell142]

ICONS!😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@XxxRsb]

Live...live...live

[@starman2337]

This was probably processed to stereo from mono, and using frequency to separate the channels put the voices on one side and instruments on the other.

[@jamesjackson2875]

Watch the black and white video performance of this song.

[@jamesjackson2875]

"Soul and Inspiration"

[@RadioJammor]

This song had a resurgence in 1986. Why, you might ask. Well, I'll tell you. It was featured in the movie, Top Gun. A stone cold classic. Legend has it that these guys sang somewhere and were approached afterwards by an appreciative gig goer who said, "That was righteous, brother". And yes, men are not as inclined to speak about their feelings as women are. Put the karaoke machine on instead. 😝

[@notthemachine9585]

The music production of this song by Larry Levine and Phil Spector who created a technique known as the wall of sound using a group of musicians known as the wrecking crew. Other studio versions of this style would be the Ronettes doing 'Be My Baby" studio version. Later in the seventies this technique was reproduced by Bruce Springsteen for his song "Born to Run" and "Jungleland." Studio version. All great songs worth listening to.

[@williamcabell142]

Live my Dear…..

[@Sober2003]

Classic ❤

[@foxman1546]

You must try Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. It has the sexiest saxophone riff and is a great song.

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Agreed!

[@johnshannon9656]

Great.

[@harrietthowever3351]

I'm so sorry you didn't watch the video of the song. The staging was so good.

[@mikeross14]

Re-do the live black&white version! You'll love it !

[@sebastianblack6506]

Who doesn't love the Righteous Brovas? ;-)

[@ericgaudet5488]

If you seen the Original Top Gun movie you definitely know this song . & If you want to original live performance of this song you have seen one of there backup Vocals is a young Cher.

[@RegenaCox-yy1rl]

Just subscribed! I really like your reactions. It's so refreshing to see someone so young enjoying music the way it used to be, and how it should still be. It'S such a shame that the music today is such crap. There are still a few good ones out there but very few like there used to be. Don't forget this was way before auto tune. They just don't make music like they used to. By the way, your the same age as my grand daughter.

[@elvishemeon389]

Number 2 love song in the world ..> :)

[@michaelmcnamara879]

Unchained Melody is well worth a look as well

[@RegenaCox-yy1rl]

You should be watching the video.

Always live or Video 50s threw 80s 😊

[@charlenezack37]

If the name Bill Medely..the talker one.. doesn't click, play "I've had the time of my life"from Dirty Dancing

[@Alex-d4x9s]

You have to watch the Version of Elvis from 1970 in Las Vegas! I am sure you will love it

[@BruceStanton-pb7wt]

If you want to see a Great Live performance try Queen, Somebody To Love, Live 1981 in Montreal. This won't disappoint. Make sure it's the live song

[@dennisriley8670]

They have a song called

[@marksmall6145]

Maybe try The Temptations with 'I'm Losing You.'

[@cristóbaljaramilloherrero]

ELVIS THE KING DID A GREAT COVER

[@starman2337]

Give Tom Jones a listen with "I'll Never Fall In Love Again".

[@williamdunphe-bh2pu]

Check out summertime by bobby Hatfield righteous brothers best summertime cover ever thank you wild bill

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Also: ...As you were unaware of who the song-writers (of: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling") are, I can understand your discussion of "men," --- seemingly, anyway (but: actually, I think, too) --- "feeling freer"/more easily being able to: 🤷🤷 emote, honestly, in song, in past eras ---- & That ISN'T incorrect!! ...however: as the lyrics to this song were, in fact, (nearly exclusively) written by a woman (as alluded to above): Cynthia Weill [of the Mann/Weill team]; perhaps: "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" ISN'T, actually, the very best example of that to point to or use. 🤷🤷 (Just a thought. 😛 😉)

[@slongf15]

You need to listen to Conway Twitty singing goodbye time

[@dalesouders4136]

Blue eyed Soul!

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

While this is, inarguably, the DEFINITIVE (and the original !) version of this song, I have always had a soft spot for the cover version done, in the mid-'80s, by (a briefly together) band [essentially: a bit of 'a supergroup' (if-you-will)]: The Firm. You'll be surprised to realize that you already know (well: you may not recall their names, yet; ...however: You, really, SHOULD!😛👍) a few of the members from: The Firm [This is NOT the '90s hip-hop supergroup (of the same name). No. This is the '80s, (now) "classic rock"-era supergroup!]. Paul Rodgers: vocalist [whom you *should* recognize from: Free and from Bad Company!]; Jimmy Page: guitarist [Whom you *should* recognize from/be aware of from: Led Zeppelin] ...Both are members of: The Firm. (They are joined by MAGICAL bassist: Tony Franklin [A well-known studio player, at this point in his career] and legendary-in-his-own-right drummer: Chris Slade (who had started his career with [South African musician] Manfred Mann's Earth Band (in the '70s) and would, later, go on to (famously) fill-in for Phil Rudd in AC/DC [Rudd had left the band for a span of over a decade---prior to, later, returning], in the early-mid.1990s!)!) ...In any case: I *highly* recommend listening to The Firm's cover of: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' " (with Paul Rodgers on the lead vocals!). ----- As you're, probably, unaware (but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! Please!): The Righteous Brothers are NOT actually brothers. The Righteous Brothers is just a band name for the vocal duo of: Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. [The Righteous Brothers WERE influenced, musically, by The Everly Brothers (who influenced, basically, EVERYBODY of that era and later, too! --- MOST early ('50s and early '60s) rockers will express influence from and admiration for: The Everly Brothers!), who WERE actually brothers [Phil and Don Everly]; but the NAME has, absolutely, NOTHING to do with The Everly Brothers. Because of the blending of Medley's [bass-baritone] (lower register) and Hatfield's [tenor] (higher register) voices; black U.S. Marine buddies started referring to them as "righteous brothers" when they heard them sing. They often got addressed that way, by others, soon after that started happening with guys in their unit (it became a sort-of 'collective nickname' for Medley and Hatfield) and when they broke away from other bands to form the duo, eventually, they took on The Righteous Brothers moniker as a project name (remembering, and appreciating, it from their military days).] "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is (slightly arguably) the most famous of The Righteous Brothers' songs. It was written by the legendary "Brill Building" song-writing team of: Cynthia Weill and Barry Mann, along with/assisted by (murderer and insane person, but, also: inarguable musical genius and influencer) Producer/song-writer: phil spector (Famed creator of "The Wall Of Sound" production technique & sound).

[@tonydagostino6158]

One of the best examples of producer Phil Spector's "wall of sound". If a violin was good, ten violins were better, kettle drums? At least 3 or 4. Never just one piano. Back-up choirs, not just a few singers. Everything was about the big sound and nobody else's records sounded like that

[@eduardodelatorres6167]

Can you react to Always & Forever by Heatwave 70's classic

[@barbaramiller2369]

You were born the year Bobby Hatfield died

[@jmo8934]

It’s better with the video.

[@skiptrace1888]

The live version is much better!
