Anyone else feel like he just invented a couple of new notes in there? That was outrageous vocal control. What a legend. Thanks for bringing that to my ears.
Whoa!! This man can SING! He is just amazing! Totally get blown away by his soulful vocals ,runs and range! This is the best of blue-eyed soul! Bobbi has an amazing voice. I believe he's got a 4 octave range! Remember....no autotune or tricky studio gimmicks at that time....just pure raw talent! Loved your reaction Singer.
If i had to choose just one person to listen to for the rest of my life, it'd be Bobby. He can rock, wail, gospel and ballad, the finest counter tenor ever.
I absolutely agree, amazing vocals, really mind blowing. To chose a favourite song, sung by Bobby, I wouldn’t know where to begin. Bobby didn’t get the deserved recognition at the time and I cannot fathom out why. Pure perfection and talent. In my mind he’s the most talented vocalist of all time, his range is off the scale.
Absolutely ruby, what a blessed individual, a counter tenor, that could reach those notes. He is dearly missed. This song does show his beautiful voice, hitting those range of octaves.
Sorry for the late reply, but i'm the middle of another Righteous Brothers deep dive and you're spot on. They just arent given enough credit, neither one of them, but Bobby in particular. Yes, they had their hits and they have their fans, new ones all the time, but these two were something truly special.
Bobby put his own spin on this song...he was a tenor / counter tenor. He had such an amazing range of octave. It shows in this song, and unchained melody.
"Summertime" is such a great song & has been covered by so many artists. Love this version! It shows just how good Bobby Hatfield was & his incredible range. The Righteous Brothers were known for their blue eyed soul music.
Once again I sure do thank you for letting Mr. Bobby Hatfield finish singing the song and finally realizing that it is a solo and was not intended to be a duo. If it were he would have sang it with Mr. Bill Medley. Goodnight.
Also, If I ruled the World and Somewhere, both soothe my soul when I'm tired of the everyday world. Bobby was an earth angel and siren rolled into one, Bill is fab, but no one can ever match Bobby.
OMFG.... What did I just hear? He is incredible! He really surprised me. Crescendos, vocal fry, vibrato, I love his voice wowwwww. He is now in my top 10 male vocalists.
I was laughing out loud at your reaction. I could not help it. You were shocked, amazed and totally honest. I love watching your channel. Great job!!!! Again
Nobody could wail like Bobby. They were dubbed "Blue Eyed Soul by some DJ somewhere. Amazing, right??? Wait till you see his live performance on the Andy Williams Show 1965. He and Bill are amazing together too, both great soloists, or great as a duo.
You are right. I believe the DJ was Georgie Woods in Philly. After meeting them when he'd introduce their records, he would call them his blue-eyed soul brothers. Hope you are well.
Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest singers ever. A league of his own. If you hadn't reacted to Unchained Melody by him I suggest you do. When he teams up with the other brother Bill Medley they belt out such great songs as You lost that Loving Feeling Soul and Inspiration For once in my Life. They were on 🔥 Fire doing The Night Time is the Right Time and Little latin Lupe Lu.
Bobby had soul as deep and pure as his talent. He could dance too! Thanks for your reaction and showing us this gem! I have a special feeling for Bobby and hope you do more of his solo's like My Prayer. RIP Bobby Hatfield you are truly missed.
I rewatch your reaction bc of your genuine surprise and appreciation of the EPIC talent of Bobby. I sat slack jawed the 1st time I saw this performance. It makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew. Bobby Hatfield was touched by God. ❤❤
This was my parents generation of music but i grew up listening to these guys. Bobby is my favorite singer from this era. This was the funniest and best reaction i have come across. You can tell you really enjoy the singing.
Bobby's vocal performance of this classic song is off the vocal register somewhere in the stratosphere absolutely amazing. R.I.P Bobby Hatfield ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sir, it is a pleasure to see young people find Bill and Bobby. As you may have discovered, Bobby died some years ago. Bill is still performing and has the same energy he had in 1965. I played their music as a Rock Jock, starting with "You've Lost", Unchained", and "Soul and...". Soul, as you know, has no color, however, if it did, these guys would be black like the ace of spades. FYI, I am very white, 77 years old, and still rockin', but now in a chair. Rock on!
When they started singing together they would get a lot of their audience from El Toro Marine Airbase and they would tell Bill & Bobby as they left "righteous brother," and that' how they got their name.
Great reaction that Bobby Hadfield deserves and I have that reaction every time I listen to him twice a day I tried twice a day today is one time probably still will listen to him another and Unchained Melody I used to listen to other singers but now just Bobby Hadfield and I knew about him all these years I'm 89 years old but I just know it's like I'm listening for the first time can't get enough of it the great and best Bobby Hatfield gone too Young and he's 60s in 2007 not real brothers but best friends.
Absolutely you will need to hear that, he was a very blessed individual; with a blessed voice. I cannot think of anyone then or now that could reach that range. He is dearly missed, but we still have his 🎶.
I saw when you were reviewing this live the other day. I’m glad you clipped it. This is one of the best performance I’ve ever seen in my life, and I was already a huge fan of the righteous Brothers and know how soulful both men are.
The only "crazy", "nonsense " thing about this beautiful little song is the "CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS" when Mr Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers is trying to sing it and also talking to his other Righteous Brother. If you do not believe me, play it back and this time listen and you will indeed appreciate it a whole lot more. "BLUE EYED SOUL" is what it's all about. SOUL has no color. Hint!Hint!Hint! Adios Amigo. Adios.
No one even came close to Bobby's genius. he added his uniqueness to all their duets, too. imagine what their duets would be without Bobby. Thank you for playing and appreciating especially this song.
So many singers have done this song but I just cannot seem to get Janis Joplin out of my head when I hear this song I just hear her version but damn Bobby Hatfield really blew me away!
Bobby was so so amazing!!! Heard the White White comment. Felt no way but as a 70 yr old “white” woman I’ve held my own in a “black” West Indian community dancing. I was also included in an African dancing group - was part owner of a sound system playing all over England with the speaker boxes occupying my dining room. I’ve had the best life - have 4 beautiful black girlies who carry on my legacy of dancing and 8 grandees coming up. I have no problem with the white and black words as we are one and I just appreciate good music. This wonderful white singer is amazing but I’ve heard many wonderful black singers too - like my lovely Johnny Holt ( a favourite). I’m glad you appreciate Bobby because he was so wonderful and such a talent. It was so sad how and why he died 😢
Bobbie brings howls and notes from the highest Heavens to Earth ! Black men respecting him shows Bobbie IS ONE OF THEM !!! Please don't take offense, its a compliment.
1965 live… So there was no auto tune, in fact the microphone and the acoustics weren't that great. Yet he killed it! This guy had amazing range. Head and chest. The live versions are the most interesting because the recorded releases were a lot tamer. It's like he couldn't let loose. No one was doing runs like this back then.
NOBODY better than BOBBY HATFIELD...EVER ❤❤❤❤
Bobby Hatfield is the best
Welcome to the best example of "blue eyed soul" of the sixties! The Righteous Brothers!
Anyone else feel like he just invented a couple of new notes in there? That was outrageous vocal control. What a legend. Thanks for bringing that to my ears.
His range was amazing and he does it so effortlessly
The late great Bobby Hatfield. None ever better. not ever on that songs he sang. RIP Bobby. We miss you.
Yes!!!!
Literally!!!! Like wtf?!?! 🔥🔥🔥
I think he did create some new notes! He always elevates any song he sings from where has been done before! 😢 Miss him so much!!
Bobby was one of the best voices who ever set foot on this planet.
One person on this planet had music as their Super Power. Bobby Hatfield.
Bobby was one of the greatest singers ever.
Bill Medley was no slouch either. ❤❤❤❤❤
He could sing the phone book
Gotta love Bobby so underrated!! No auto tune just pure raw talent!! Soar and sing with the angels Bobby!!!
🕊💜🌠
Underrated by who? If one hasn't heard of The Righteous Brothers, he must have grown up in a cave.
Thanks for reviewing this song. He never got the credit he deserved for it.
Bobby had so much soul what a gift to us all.!
Whoa!! This man can SING! He is just amazing! Totally get blown away by his soulful vocals ,runs and range! This is the best of blue-eyed soul! Bobbi has an amazing voice.

Bobby and his blue eyed soul shining thru while singing his heart out. Miss you more than you know Bobby Hatfield.
💖Bobby Hatfield, one of rarest of male voices(counter tenor), & exquisite to our ears *RIP BOBBY, YOU ARE MISSED* 💖
Bobby took us to church
he always did,with everything he ever sang. Unmatched.
The late great Bobby Hatfield R.I.P. you are missed ❤️
He is so wonderful.
Bobby Hatfield is an amazing vocalist with an unlimited range and cute also. And not appreciated enough
Sorry for the late reply, but i'm the middle of another Righteous Brothers deep dive and you're spot on. They just arent given enough credit, neither one of them, but Bobby in particular. Yes, they had their hits and they have their fans, new ones all the time, but these two were something truly special.
Bobby was one of a kind. So lucky to grow up listening to Righteous bros.
OMG Bobby Hatfield was awesome when he sang! My Bobby sang the blues so awesome! Miss your beautful voice !!!
Wow, just wow! I always knew Bobby was special, but this takes it to another level of extraordinary!
Bobby's voice was more than one in a billion. He was only about 25 here.
And his control is off the charts
That is exceptional control - amazing!
Bobby Hatfield has an amazing voice. But then again anyone who knows music knows it. No one can touch his live rendition of Unchained Melody
Soul has no colour!!!!
SOUL. Pure and solid gold soul.
Oh I forgot to tell you Bobby Hadfield had a four octave range all natural singing voice
Yep…no falsetto here. He was the real deal, a natural countertenor. Truly astonishing voice. RIP Bobby 😇
could u at least spell his name right????????????????????????????
@@janehyden1652 oh sorry about that Jane, the audio only prints what it hears. I don't type, I try not to, because it would go slow for me
4 1/2 octave range :-)
Bobby put his own spin on this song...he was a tenor / counter tenor. He had such an amazing range of octave. It shows in this song, and unchained melody.
Bobby was the Man
I close my eyes and I’m 18 again. We were blessed with music and talent that STILL resonates
Bobby was what is known as a countertenor. Very rare. Natural huge range!
This is by far my favourite reaction to this song!!
Crazy that he actually had severe stage fright, guess he channeled that energy into his performances. Awesome!
He leaned on Bill's calmness alot. Bill was so laid back and Bobby was always glancing at Bill for confidence.
“Don’t Cry! Bobby Lee standing by!”
"Summertime" is such a great song & has been covered by so many artists. Love this version! It shows just how good Bobby Hatfield was & his incredible range. The Righteous Brothers were known for their blue eyed soul music.
Your reaction to Bobby's voice was totally awesome. Made me breathless. Fantastic reaction. It blew you away. WOW.
I love your reaction and appreciation of this legendary singer. Bobby Hatfield is one of a kind.
Once again I sure do thank you for letting Mr. Bobby Hatfield finish singing the song and finally realizing that it is a solo and was not intended to be a duo. If it were he would have sang it with Mr. Bill Medley. Goodnight.
Yes this mans voice amazing,
He could hit some high notes,
Great range, and ofcourse member of the righteous brothers 😊
White boy has soul you go Bobby
Thank you for covering Bobby's second best ever live performance.
Listen to Bobby singing his live version of Unchained Melody on the Andy Williams show. Phenomenal!
Ebb Tide is also worth listening to.
Also, If I ruled the World and Somewhere, both soothe my soul when I'm tired of the everyday world. Bobby was an earth angel and siren rolled into one, Bill is fab, but no one can ever match Bobby.
One of the greatest live vocals ever. So glad it was filmed. If not we’d still think they were black
Great reaction to a great singer. Bobby Hatfield was superb!!
Love 💓 Bobby Hatfield!!! Great voice, and he could get down and funky too!!!!
Wow. Bobby could hit those whistle notes.
OMFG.... What did I just hear? He is incredible! He really surprised me. Crescendos, vocal fry, vibrato, I love his voice wowwwww. He is now in my top 10 male vocalists.
Top 1 for me! 🕊️ 🌟💖
@@lesliegeddes7896 Absolutely. Underrared!
Top 1 for me too ❤️
You need to hear “unchained Melody“.
@@Rosannasfriend Yes I know that song, incredible and timeless!
I was laughing out loud at your reaction. I could not help it. You were shocked, amazed and totally honest. I love watching your channel. Great job!!!!
Again

The Black Marine's said that's Righteous Brother, after they sang so that's how they got there name, they were Blue Eyed soul at it's best!!!!!
Bill Medley, the other one, had one of the best bass voices EVER.
Yes, Bill was great, and still performing at the age of 82. Together they were unbeatable.
You are right. I believe the DJ was Georgie Woods in Philly. After meeting them when he'd introduce their records, he would call them his blue-eyed soul brothers.
Hope you are well.

I have special feelings for him also.
@@DanyLove48 awesome; Bobby deserves it.
I didn't even know he sang this song. AMAZING 👏
That's not nonsense, that is pure God given talent. Bobby was a counter tenor: G3-C6 range. RIP Bobby. x
I rewatch your reaction bc of your genuine surprise and appreciation of the EPIC talent of Bobby. I sat slack jawed the 1st time I saw this performance. It makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew. Bobby Hatfield was touched by God. ❤❤
Channeled some serious soul ..right there...unchained Melody...Lost that loving feeling...wow...Just discovered this gem...wow..just wow!
This was my parents generation of music but i grew up listening to these guys. Bobby is my favorite singer from this era. This was the funniest and best reaction i have come across. You can tell you really enjoy the singing.
Just think this was without autotune or any other digital, mechanical help. Just talent!!
Love this number it is so well composed it is difficult to sing badly. This is one of the best covers.
Indeed BH was an extraordinary singer.
Bobby's vocal performance of this classic song is off the vocal register somewhere in the stratosphere absolutely amazing. R.I.P Bobby Hatfield ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Crazy indeed. I had not heard this before but I won't forget it.
Listen to Bobby singing the live version of Unchained Melody on the Andy Williams show. Phenomenal!
You MUST hear Bobby Hatfield singing his famous Unchained Melody. The live Andy Williams Show version. Will knock you out.
Absolutely you will need to hear that, he was a very blessed individual; with a blessed voice. I cannot think of anyone then or now that could reach that range. He is dearly missed, but we still have his 🎶.
Never heard this song before and it sounded very much like James Brown genre. Unbelievable range he had.
Magnificent
People today have no idea what a talent those two were , you should play there cover of loving you
Oh man, thank you for appreaciating this the way it deserves to be appreciated! Bobby was truly something special.
Wow. I’ve known this song my whole life but I’ve never heard this version. How amazing! Thank you!
There are 3 or 4 different versions of this song..
@@peterang6912 but this is the best
@@vallee3140 well i love the one song by Janis Joplin..
@@peterang6912 never heard it in fact never listened to any of hers

I thought I had heard all of their songs. Not this one. Thank you.
Can you say blue eyed soul? They were my first concert nearly 60 years. Loved them then and love them now.❤️

Superb song, superb performance, superb reaction video.👍🌟🌟🌟
Definitely vocal acrobatics!
Glad you liked it, at the end of the day it was just called Talent!
This is by far my favorite reaction. You're awesome. Bobby was amazing. Sounds like you have an awesome voice too.
Check out Bobby Hatfield singing
Ebb Tide
Also Soul & Insperation
Bobby Hatfield was of my generation AND he has the pipes! Would love some more of him and his brother as well .Listen to Unchanged Melody
O.M.G. Can you even imagine (if his band would have been great and this recording had been better!?) He is TRULY amazing! Holy crap!!
He was the best - ever!
So many singers have done this song but I just cannot seem to get Janis Joplin out of my head when I hear this song I just hear her version but damn Bobby Hatfield really blew me away!
Oh I’m going to have to listen to this on big big big TV sound system and call the police to tell to disregard the phone calls 🙏👍👍
❤️ your reaction!
I would be interested in knowing how Bobby's family feels about ALL the reactions his videos are getting!!!
My understanding is they love them.
Me too.

Bobbie brings howls and notes from the highest Heavens to Earth !
Black men respecting him shows Bobbie IS ONE OF THEM !!!
Please don't take offense, its a compliment.
Fantastic
These guys were called the Righteous Brothers for a reason! ❤
I just got to say I do love your reactions
I had never heard this song before and grew up in the 50 and 60s. Always loved their music.
Off the charts
I'm really enjoying this performance and enjoying your reaction even more!! Keep it coming!!
