Just had to add my two cents....Bill Medley and Bobby Hattfield.....fyi. Love your channel. Thanks for the smiles and the music. I'm 72 and I'm so happy our music hasn't died.
The music of the fifties and sixties got us boomers ready for the soul of Motown as adults. Thank you for your sincere reactions. Bobby is my fave and he always packs a stick of dynamite in every performance. We were blessed to have had the ability to revel in his talent and soulful delivery.
They were doing a show in Southern California and a young Marine Brother in the audiance stood up and shouted "That's Rightious Brother" and from then on they took that name from then and there.
I would recommend Bobby singing "Summertime" but frankly, I don't know if you could take it. He goes easily over the top within first 30 sec. ❤❤❤ I'm glad you like them too. Some favorite duos: Sam and Dave, The Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy.
THis is Bill Medley ,Buck was the man who replaced Bobby .I think it was Phil Spector who produced Soul And Inspiration, and You've Lot That Loving Feeling.Phil wanted a wall of noise and that is why the back up singers in those videos hummed and complimented the sound of the instruments as well as the lead vocals.
@@gailsteck2636 Unfortunately you are incorrect. Bill is alive and living well in Santa Ana, Ca. and does occasionally tour with his newest partner Bucky Heard. At least do a little research. This latest November nonsense was just that. A hoax.
Bill Medley said in an interview that Black radio stations would not play their music because they were white. Eventually they did start to play their music but a DJ in Philly would announce them as his Blue Eyed soul brothers, and Blue Eyed soul was born.
If you don't stop calling Bill medley buck and Bucky I'm going to start rolling on the floor laughing. Bill medley is the tall one Bobby Hatfield is the blonde haired shorter one. Bobby died in 2003 and Bucky heard tours with Bill medley now. Every time you call him back and Bucky I just can't stop laughing. They were popular the same time as Motown with they all unforgettable temptations and never to be topped Levi stubs in the four tops. they'll never be another Motown and these guys just fit right in with that genre. That's when people could really sing.
@@paulamadden1766 Yup, everyone forgets about Motown and the 'mixing' back and forth to 'mainstream'... that said, Bobby was a phenom. There aren't many voices like that.. .and he went really well with is partner...
I heard Bill say they were actually taken off Motown when they found out they were white...Check it out...I know they were taken off a radio station....
Bobby's "Brother" was Bill Medley. Buckey replaced Bobby years after he passed away. They did not lip sync. They sang live. RANKED 16 OUT OF TOP 20 DUOS?? THAT'S NUTS!! They should be higher!!!!
This performance was live on the show “Shindig “.The original can be found on TH-cam . However, the uploader of this video overdubbed the recording. I don’t know why because the live was virtually as good as the recorded version.
The ladies with straight short hair, and the guys (in the Detroit area) called that hair cut "the DA", it ended in a point at the back of the neck. DA = duck's a__.
Whitney used to hang out with Elvis as a kid. If you don't believe it, watch, Elvis and the black community part 1 and 2. You're not going to believe how people hated Elvis for singing black music. Rock and Roll was originally black music.
My mother, who passed away last year at 86 years old, told me that she danced with Bill Medley at a club in Myrtle Beach, SC, and he was a pretty smooth dancer. That was in the days when the Shag was a very big thing, and she was called a few years ago about being inducted into the Shaggy Hall of fame. She was a fantastic dancer. God rest her soul.
The Righteous Brothers are my go to artists when I want to chill with something mellow and smooth. I was a child when the songs you have reacted to were hits. My mother listened to the Righteous Brothers, the Everly Brothers, Elvis, Paul Anka, all the "crooners" of that time. She was in her early 20's at this time so she was among the young ladies who went crazy over the handsome, smooth voiced young men who dominated the airwaves in the mid twentieth century.
They were entertaining a group of soldiers, a soldier yelled out from the crowd “that is righteous brothers” in regards to their singing. They liked it and started calling themselves the Righteous Brothers
Cher's pipes are somewhere in a number of Spector's biggest hits. She sang backup on the Crystals' "Da Do Ron Ron," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'."
The Righteous Brothers were doing a club show, one of their first. They couldn't decide what to call themselves. At the end of the song a man stood up and yelled , that's righteous brothers. And that's the name they decided on.
Bill medley who's still singing and performing with the late Bobby Hatfield's replacement, Bucky Heard. He's now 82! Still sounds great! Still "righteous!"😘
When The Beatles arrived in America in 1964 to embark on the most anticipated concert tour in the history of music, The Beatles asked The Righteous Brothers to accompany them on their tour and be their opening act!
Regarding the Righteous Brothers, the bass & Baritone singer is Bill Medley. The tenor, head voice and falsetto singer is Bobby Hatfield. After Bobby died in 2003, Bill got a new singing partner named Bucky Heard.
When they were the Paramours they were a quintet. Bobby and Bill recorded a song on their own (Little Latin Lupe Lu) and they needed another name so they used the name they had been called - Righteous Brothers. The song was a hit and they stuck with being a duo and kept the name.
This video and You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling were originally performed live, then the audio from the studio recordings were placed over the live performance.
Just a quick rundown. Live on an Andy Williams variety show Bobby sang when sick with a cold Unchained Melody, his mother was in the audience for the first time, so he was nervous. And that is Bill the bass voice. Bucky came after Bobby died in 2008, I believe it was.
You need to react to Steely Dan "Do it again" "Reeling in the years" "Peg" "Rikki don't lose that number" "Josie" "Kid Charlemagne" and Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" "Lido shuffle" "Look what you've done to me"
You should find the clip of Unchained Melody on the Andy Williams show that starts with the introduction by Andy and the banter between him and Bill and Bobby. You will hear from them just how they got their name, plus a little fun joking among them.
No this is Bill Medley he is a baritone. The reason why Buck started was after Bobby died but didn't start until way after Bobby died, Bill needed a partner and still wanted to sing the song so they found this guy and buck was the guy that they found to take Bobby's place to do concerts around the country they do they did tours.
I grew up on a ranch along the Missouri -Kansas border with no nighttime radio stations.The only station l could get was WLS Chicago which was a mixture of pop,rock,soul and R&B which l loved because of the real ness in the songs.Now I'm a 72 year old white man who loves great singers of all colors and races.living in a big city. I understand heartbreak and loneliness are universal.
To set the record straight, many performers, depending on the cheapness of the TV show, did lip sync- they had no choice. But, in the case of the Righteous Brothers’ You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, and this, Soul and Inspiration were both sung live, but some TH-camr has superimposed the original record over the TV broadcast.
I am going to say this for the billionth time. Many of these old videos are actually Hybrids”. The video is of a live performance sung live. The audio quality was very poor so years later someone took the studio recording and dubbed it over the original live video. Thats why they dont match. Not because it was lip synched.
I haven't said that a billion times but many times. Actually, I think they do the substitutions because they only want to hear the records not what the singers can do outside of a recording studio with different music accompaniment. Thankfully, with the Righteous Brothers, the real live performances are also available on TH-cam. That's my take anyway.
You should hear Bill Medley’s duo with Jennifer Warnes from the movie, Dirty Dancing: Now I’ve had the Time of My Life… it won a Grammy Award and was. Worldwide Khorramshahr.
I know I'm late to this party but Cher was, indeed, a backup singer and Sonny was the Tambourine Player in Phil Specter's Wall of Sound instrumentalists.
If you enjoy listening to "The Righteous Brothers" then you will probably want to check out "Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young (1967)" the same year the Beatles invaded America (British Invasion, which wasn't as bad as it sounds😏) this band was not far-behind the Animals was an English rhythm and blues-rock band formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960's. RIP: Bobby Hatfield🔥✌🎶 Great reaction, thanks for sharing👍
By now I'm sure you know that the bass singer is Bill Medley, who chose not to record Unchained Melody with Bobby. I've seen an interview where Bill said it was the "worst mistake of my life," in a kind of joking way. But, I wonder what it would have been if they both sang.
Bill was indeed joking. It was always Bobby's solo from before he met Bill. He sang it with his group the Variations. They each did solos on albums and in shows. Bobby brought Unchained Melody to the studio to be his solo on an album. Bill produced it and sang almost inaudible backup and played piano.
Hi. You'll probably be swamped with fans telling you Bobby's partner was Bill Medley not Bucky Heard. When Bobby died in 2003 Bucky joined Bill and they continued to perform as the Righteous Brothers. Al...
Lip syncing on tv was pretty much required by the shows-maybe not National TV but definitely more local channels. I believe you’ve seen the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Remember, Freddy almost walked out on the tv performance because they required Queen to lip sync. Back then, the studios weren’t set up to allow live performances.
I love your videos. Regarding "Buck". I don't know who that is. The brothers are Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medly. That is their real names. Fron Wiki : Birth name William Thomas Medley Born September 19, 1940
My favorite song from them. That's Bill Medley singing baritone. And yes, lip sync was around for decades. Cheaper than hauling a full band or orchestra to every TV gig.
On TV, lip syncing was the choice of the program, not the performers. It was only on shows like Bandstand, Where the Action Is and a few others. The music variety shows which were in the evening were all live with house orchestras. This video is another one where someone has replaced the live audio with the studio recording.

Bill medley and Bobby Hatfield This technique is called Phil Specter Wall of sound.
The Righteous Brothers opened for the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for their first two tours
THis is Bill Medley ,Buck was the man who replaced Bobby .I think it was Phil Spector who produced Soul And Inspiration, and You've Lot That Loving Feeling.Phil wanted a wall of noise and that is why the back up singers in those videos hummed and complimented the sound of the instruments as well as the lead vocals.
No, Soul and Inspiration was their first single on Verve Records after they left Phil Spector's label, Philles Records. Spector didn't produce this.
Bill Medley produced Soul and Inspiration. He did an unbelievable job re creating the Wall of Sound. I'm sure Spector appreciated that...😊
This is Bill and Bobby.
Bill Medley is still alive and occasionally performing at the ripe young age of 82. Wonderful voice and a terrific man.
Bill Medley died earlier this year.

@@gailsteck2636 No problem Gail. I think those "notices" are so annoying. Nothing but click bait. 🪤
Cher was a back up singer there. She was young and long before she ever started with Sonny.
Bill Medley said in an interview that Black radio stations would not play their music because they were white. Eventually they did start to play their music but a DJ in Philly would announce them as his Blue Eyed soul brothers, and Blue Eyed soul was born.
He's Bobby Hatfield, the best singer ever lived. Teamed with Bill they were amazing.
I'm a 68 year old white women who loved Motown these guys were played on all Motown stations that's why they were called Blue Eyed Soul

Shag Hall of Fame. Blasted auto correct!
Bill Medley said: "without you baby what good am I".
Bill is saying, "Without you baby what good am I?"
The backup singers were Darlene Love and the Blossoms
No, this is Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Bucky entered the picture after Bobby passed away.
The Righteous Brothers are my go to artists when I want to chill with something mellow and smooth. I was a child when the songs you have reacted to were hits.

I've never heard buck in my entire life that is Bill Medley the baritone singing with Bobby Hatfield the tenor. For soul and inspiration in 1964.
It was original twosome was Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, the Righteous Brothers no lip sync, and no auto tune. Just the two of them.
Those two are the original brothers.
They were entertaining a group of soldiers, a soldier yelled out from the crowd “that is righteous brothers” in regards to their singing. They liked it and started calling themselves the Righteous Brothers
They were singing at a club
Bucky Heard was the new partner Bill rook on after Bobby died. Bobby died in 2003 and it wasn’t until 2016 Bill started singing with Bucky.
Cher's pipes are somewhere in a number of Spector's biggest hits. She sang backup on the Crystals' "Da Do Ron Ron," the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'."
The Righteous Brothers were doing a club show, one of their first. They couldn't decide what to call themselves. At the end of the song a man stood up and yelled , that's righteous brothers. And that's the name they decided on.
It was a black Marine that hollered that out.
Bill medley who's still singing and performing with the late Bobby Hatfield's replacement, Bucky Heard. He's now 82!
Still sounds great! Still "righteous!"😘
Bobby was the tenor voice and Bill Medley was the bass voice.
When The Beatles arrived in America in 1964 to embark on the most anticipated concert tour in the history of music, The Beatles asked The Righteous Brothers to accompany them on their tour and be their opening act!
I heard the Stones did the same.
Bill and Bobby were amazing and especially in person. Many decades ago I took my date to one of their concerts.
They finished a concert and some dude said, that was righteous brother. They had been searching for a name and couldn't decide one one.
You should hear their version of Ebb Tide. Bobby takes the lead and it is fantastic.
Ebb Tide is one of my favorite songs.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO REACT TO EBB TIDE ALSO, WHATEVER THEY TOUCHED TURNED TO GOLD!!!!!!!! THEY WERE GREAT!!!!!
Bill Medley is still alive and performing.
'Ebb Tide' also 'If There's A Rock and Roll Heaven' amazing
Regarding the Righteous Brothers, the bass & Baritone singer is Bill Medley. The tenor, head voice and falsetto singer is Bobby Hatfield. After Bobby died in 2003, Bill got a new singing partner named Bucky Heard.
Another great duo was the Everley brothers.The were actual brothers. The beatles cited them as being a great influence.
“Without you baby…what good am I..?” The lyric you asked about.
Another great duo is Simon & Garfunkle.
May be better
The bass voice is BILL MEDLEY. Bucky Heard didn't join them until the 21st century.
Yes they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Theres so much about this performance thats Amazing
When they were the Paramours they were a quintet. Bobby and Bill recorded a song on their own (Little Latin Lupe Lu) and they needed another name so they used the name they had been called - Righteous Brothers. The song was a hit and they stuck with being a duo and kept the name.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.
This video and You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling were originally performed live, then the audio from the studio recordings were placed over the live performance.
Never too late to discover different music. Music is what brings every people together my friend.
Bill has s deep, low voice like Barry White in the 1970's.
1966! This song came out the same year I was born! Awesome
Just a quick rundown. Live on an Andy Williams variety show Bobby sang when sick with a cold Unchained Melody, his mother was in the audience for the first time, so he was nervous.
And that is Bill the bass voice. Bucky came after Bobby died in 2008, I believe it was.
If you saw the movie Dirty Dancing, you've heard Bill Medley. He sang the last song, Time of my Life.
The dark-haired, deep voiced one is Bill Medley. Bucky Heard is is partner now in the current version of The Righteous Brothers.
You need to react to Steely Dan "Do it again" "Reeling in the years" "Peg" "Rikki don't lose that number" "Josie" "Kid Charlemagne" and Boz Scaggs "Lowdown" "Lido shuffle" "Look what you've done to me"

Agree!
Phil Spector used Cher as a background singer on hits like the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'.
No this is Bill Medley he is a baritone. The reason why Buck started was after Bobby died but didn't start until way after Bobby died, Bill needed a partner and still wanted to sing the song so they found this guy and buck was the guy that they found to take Bobby's place to do concerts around the country they do they did tours.
That's not Buckey!!! That's the great Bill Medley singing Baritone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You definitely appreciate great music and have a romantic soul, like my husband. Great reaction. 🇨🇦🔥🥇👍💖
You're incorrect. The lead singer is "Bill Medley", the bass. Bobby Hatfield is the tenor, who was replaced by Bucky.
That is how bill and bobby sounded live. Some recordings were better than others but they did not lip sync they were that good.
Great reaction. Like how you want to know the background and history of the artist and music.
Bill Medley produced Unchanged Melody
Share saying back up on quite a few sixty songs for different people. She just had that unique voice that made her good as a backup.

This is Bill Medley. He is technically a baritone. Thoughly enjoyed your reaction.
This is a deep rabbit hole!

I didn’t know Sonny & Cher were ever back up singers. I graduated high school in 1965 so these guys were were big.
Sony was from Detroit, a natural.
Sonny And Cher weren't back-up singers; only Cher was..

It's actually Bill Medley. Buck was the one who replaced Bobby after he died.
PS. I figure Bobby could probably sing Jazz real well too.. based of the version of I Just Wanna Make Love to You... and of course Summertime...
Phil Spector in the wall of sound.
Spector had nothing to do with this song. Bill produced it after they left Spector.
Bobby said they were doing a show and when they got through a guy stood up and shouted that was Rightous brother and Bobby said that was it
there is nobody better
It's bobby hatfield, and the baritone is Bill medley.
Listen to them on Ed Sullivan when they sang you'll never walk alone! They are Amazing!
Hi. You'll probably be swamped with fans telling you Bobby's partner was Bill Medley not Bucky Heard. When Bobby died in 2003 Bucky joined Bill and they continued to perform as the Righteous Brothers. Al...
Listen to Bobby sing summertime , it unreal, total soul
Bill medley and Bobby Hatfield. Bill medley is in his 80s and still belt it out. He also had your the time of my life .
Bobby did not lip sync on Unchained Melody and as far as I know the pair of them before Bobby died sang live.
A Few Duos (all great):
Simon & Garfunkel
Sonny and Cher
The Carpenters
Tears for Fears
Hall and Oates
Bill Medley.......Buck came along later after Bobby passed away.
You made me look it up!
Speaking of Sonny and Cher they had a variety show of their own and you get to see how beautiful Cher was a young woman such a unique look
