His bite lip smile is everything!
It is because his mom was in the audience.
Oh yeah, his bite lip. Mmmmm
The way he sings this song brings me to tears every time .
This was sung LIVE in 1965, no auto-tune, no naked dancers, smoke or mirrors ... just pure talent and blue-eyed soul
She. MUST see. RB - Soul and Inspiration, I Just Want to Make Love to You (Bill) Summertime (Bobby). SOUL!!
I love that you put him full screen and your pic in the corner. That was sweet. I love Bobby Hatfield.
That's Bobby Hatfield. All their songs are FANTASTIC!!!!!!
That man was GORGEOUS 💕💗!!
"SEE THAT GIRL" Righteous Brothers
Back in 65 this was our love making music after the house parties wandered into the night , and the parents were gone for the weekend.
You picked a great song to have a reaction to. Bobby Hatfield is a marvelous singer with great range great tone great warmth and soul. It is a masterpiece he is singing and it is live
Beautiful man,voice and song. Heartthrob Bobby had it all and this perfect love song still swoons women. May you RIP Bobby Hatfield. You are missed.
Awesome reaction. I fall in love with him every time I see that lip-bite…😍🔥
Yes, Bobby was an incredible talent with something like a 4-octave range and amazing vocal control, and very handsome to boot - a killer combo. He was also said to be a very down-to-earth, kind and funny guy. And I see that the lip-bite at the end got you, too - you're not alone! So adorable! RIP, sweet Bobby.
5 full octaves. The last note he hit was a high C for a female. Anything higher than that he'd literally be whistling. (R.I.P. Bobby)
@@charleswillsonpeale5739 Wow; five full octaves! He truly had a gift; and to think, we almost lost him to baseball!
@@gibsongirl2100 Yeah, instead we lost him at the tender untimely age of 63 from cocaine abuse. (R.I.P. Bobby Hatfield 1940 - 2003) As the righteous Brothers used to sing, "if there's a rock and roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band". Especially if Bobby is the lead singer
@@charleswillsonpeale5739 Amen. R.I.P. Bobby.
@@charleswillsonpeale5739The last note was a G5 sharp. Counter tenor range.
Bobby Hatfield. One of the best singers of all time.
No, not one of, THE best
yeah
If you think this was something, wait 'til you hear BOTH Righteous Brothers together. This one's Bobby Hatfield. Bill Medley is the other. Together, their contrasting voices blend to make pure magic. Check out "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." You won't be sorry.
Yes he was gorgeous. We all need our own BOBBY!!!!! LOL
"who you been hang'in round" "here ya go" and "the lip biting" I'm a black woman way older than you yet I said all these things too!
Giiiirl--he melted your heart! At the beginning of the video you were copping an attitude. But by the end you were all lovey-dovey, and smiling. Great reaction! : D
😊 thank you
Oh he can melt any heart, I think.
😄
If i could sing and looked like him,that would be Righteous.
🤣🤣🤣
One of the GREATEST live performances ever by an individual. This was from the 1965 Andy Williams TV show and was a solo performance. The other part of The Righteous Brothers duo (Bill) was there watching Bobby perform this vocal masterpiece. If you want to hear both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley sing together then I highly recommend you reacting to the 1964 black & white version of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" which was the MOST played song on American radio and TV during the 20th century with a confirmed 8+ million plays.
Bobby Hatfield. I am almost 75 years old & I still crush on him ! I have subscribed to your channel because you appreciate the music from my day &, of course, because you love that lip-bite! Actually, I just watched your reaction to "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling " & you even recognized Bobby in that duo performance, too. Bill Medley was a good singer in his own right for sure. He just wasn't Bobby (Bill still sings. Bobby left this world in 2003.) Well, I'm starting to ramble so I'll wrap it up for now. Thank you for one of the best, if not the BEST reactions to a true masterful performance.
You were given quite a few comments about the history of the Righteous Brothers. Bobby was 25/yrs old when this was recorded live, on the Andy Williams TV Show. The duo was dubbed, "Blue-Eyed Soul" back in the day. This song was recorded in 1965 and will forever withstand the test of time. Why? Because unlike many songs of today, "Class Never Goes Out of Style".
So great to see young people experiencing the awe of Bobby Hatfield, his voice, the soulful feeling, and yes a good-looking guy!
You said "Who u been hangin around" to that boy when he first said I need your love!! ❤🎶⚘ I love BW and their total honesty.. 😘
A VOICE FROM HEAVEN….MAGNIFICENT.
There were only rwo Righteous Brothers, the BEST.
You are hilarious! Yes girl, we all agree. Bobby is fine. The voice is what I call a generational voice. He definitely left something beautiful for the world.
Beautiful reply
This is blue eyed soul.
R.I P. Bobby Hatfield
Beautiful reaction thank you for helping to keep bobbies spirits alive
ha ha ha, yes, very handsome man. He was hanging around his Righteous Brother partner, Bill Medley for all that soul. And I too LOVE that little lip bite at the end
Lol. Bill Medley and that deep voice was something else too.
Loved your reaction EMILY. Bobby was one gorgeous man with a gorgeous voice. He had a head cold during this performance and he was nervous because his parents were in the audience for the first time. He also suffered from stage fright although one would never know. 😍
Talent, good looks and charm. I love they way the Righteous Brothers always took a bow at the end of their performance. Bobby knocked this out of the park! Outshined his recorded version. RIP Bobby Hatfield and thanks for leaving us the gift of your talent to enjoy.
It is such a joy watching young black people experiencing the music I grew up with a totally loving it. You are going on a journey down a whole new road. May I recommend Kenny Rogers' 'Lady', and Neil Diamond's 'Coming to America'. Enjoy
"He can hold a note, can't he?" - awesome line and awesome reaction!
When songs were sweet and men weren’t afraid to be sincere and classy! He bit his lip at the end…he knew he’d nailed it!
Blue eyed soul baby.
HEY EMILY, CAN YOU BELIEVE A PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT BACK IN 1965. WE NOW CALL THAT "X-FACTOR PLUS"
THIS IS A MAN WITH A GOD GIVEN MUSICAL VOICE - AMEN SISTER. HE SANG LIKE AN ANGEL.
HE SUNG THIS SONG SOFTLY, SWEETLY, SMOOTHLY, SENSUALLY WITH SOUL GRIPPING PASSION THAT WAS SO PURE, CLEAN, ELEGANT AND POWERFULLY B E A U T I F U L
I HAVE HEARD MANY VERSIONS OF THIS SONG (incl Elvis & Neil Diamond), BUT BOBBY HATFIELD SUNG THIS SONG THE BEST - PERIOD. HE TRULY OWNS THIS SONG.
Hehehehe... he was a chiseled human specimen to perfection.. the Lord's incapable of mistakes;))
The Righteous Brothers. Are blue eyed soul.
The song was written for a 1955 movie called Unchained, about a guy in prison who couldn’t wait to get back to his girl. The guy who wrote the lyrics refused to put any of that stuff into the song so it became a general love song, sung by many before the Righteous Brothers did it .. but nobody else did it like this, altho many other singers covered the song later (including Elvis) and based their versions of it on this version by The Righteous Brothers ... It is a solo song, but the Righteous Brothers were a duo so they flipped a coin to see who was going to do it, and Bobby Hatfield won. The other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for the studio version as well as for this performance AND he played piano while Bobby was singing .. so it was still a team effort. Bobby sang another version for the movie “Ghost “ and this revived interest in the 1965 version (this one) which was then re-released. The Righteous Brothers and this song made history by having two different versions of the same song in the Top20 of the charts at the same time, competing against each other!
Such a smooth singer
The brothers have it and always will.
Lost that loving feeling, soul and inspiration are 2 good ones.
You're great girl!! I love Bobby now & back in my day he was just as hot!!! Listen to them, find their body of works!! You'll love them!! They both do solos & when they sing together it's totally Righteous Brothers!!! Sighhhh I still melt when I see & hear Bobby sing this!!!! And I've been listening since 1960's, 70,s 80's etc etc etc til now girl!!! Enjoy and passes them around!!! They are great together & solo!!!! Bless you sweet lady!!! ❤️🌹😘
check out "youve lost that loving feeling" its both bobby hatfield and bill medley (the baratone, like real deep baratone). they harmonize perfectly together
Bill Medley is the other "brother". This was a solo by Bobby and considered one of the best live performances ever. Another beautiful example of his voice is a solo called "Ebb Tide", also released in 1965. I don't think there are any old live performances by Bobby of "Ebb Tide", studio only. Check it out - his voice is so haunting and seductive; I know you'll enjoy. Hear them sing together on "You've lost that loving feeling", "Just once in my life" (there's a live version of that, with girls screaming and a little static, but very worth hearing), "Walk on" - so many others - they made a lot of great music!
For those that were not aware, the lyrics of the song are about someone stuck in prison and longing to get back to their love. If you listen to it again, think of those circumstances.
Excellent reaction! A lot of people mention that last second or two of the vid, but this is the first time I’ve seen a true breakdown, including going back and highlighting the bit lip “I nailed it”look. Very observant, funny and with great spirit! Subscribed!!
Pure talent
Thank you pretty lady. You really know your music. Girl did this brother have soul. Or like the hillbillies yous to say back in the day, "He could sure beller". He had a wonderful set of pipes. Wish that these days that they would still play beautiful romantic love songs that are so touching to the heart when the words are deep within. Keep up the good work. And once again, I sure do thank you. I really, really enjoyed it. Adios. PS. Hopefully one day we will all see you with a beautiful T-shirt with Bobby Hatfield' face on it like your were talking about. That would be really, really Cool.
🐶She stayed that if she was born back then she would have had that record player spinning all day.😍🎆🎆🎆
Its cool that you are listing to this and apricate it.
You need to react to Bobby Hatfield (the singer in your video here), sing the famous 'Summertime' song live in 1965. You will hear the other side to his phenomenal vocal ability. Crazy vocals! Oh, Bobby was incredibly beautiful looking too. That cute bite on his lips, that just kills me 😍
I loved your reaction!!!
The song was written between 1954 and 1955. In 1955 there were 4 versions by 4 separate artist.
When the Righteous Brothers got this it's been theirs, well more Bobby Hatfield's; this version is the standard that all are compared to.
On this live performance his Mother ( possibly dad ) is in the audience.
At the end he bites his lip as he knows he nailed this song.
Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had their songs in movies: Bobby's unchained melody in the 1990 movie Ghost and Bill's Time of my life ( with Jennifer Warnes )in 1987- Dirty Dancing; This movie has a hell of a soundtrack !!!!
FYI From Wikipedia:
There are hundreds of covers of this song, sung by Elvis, Robson and Jerome many, many others many come close, but none beat Bobby's rendition.
"Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (January 1955),[1] hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack.[2] It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers.[3] 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.[4]
In 1955, three versions of the song (by Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton) charted in the Billboard top 10 in the United States,[5] and four versions (by Al Hibbler, Les Baxter, Jimmy Young, and Liberace) appeared in the top 20 in the United Kingdom simultaneously, a record for any song.[6][7] The song continued to chart in the 21st century, and it was the only song to reach number one with four different recordings in the UK until it was joined by Band Aid 30's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in 2014.[8][9]
Of the hundreds of recordings made, the Righteous Brothers' version in July 1965, with a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became the jukebox standard after its release. Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of the song are based on his version. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when featured in the film Ghost in 1990. In 2004, it was number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
Other notable versions
Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers of The Goons :recorded a parody of the song, produced by George Martin, on June 29, 1955. It would have been the first single by the Goons, however, EMI refused to release it, fearing a lawsuit from its music publisher.[142][143] It prompted Spike Milligan to move to Decca Records which released other works from the Goons.[143] The Goons later released an album titled Unchained Melodies with Decca, but without the actual song.[144] The single was later released in 1990,[145][146] and the song was then included in the 2007 compilation album titled Unchained Melodies - The Complete Recordings 1955-1978.
Cliff Richard and The Shadows : recorded a version for the 1961 album Listen to Cliff! at the height of the popularity of both acts in the U.K. and British Commonwealth countries. The album peaked at No.2 on the U.K. album charts, where it spent 28 weeks on chart at a time when the U.K. album chart was a Top 20 only.
In 1979, George Benson : recorded a version for the Warner Bros. Records album Livin' Inside Your Love. The single peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary (chart).[150]
In 1981, a live version performed by the band Heart, with lead vocals by Ann Wilson, peaked at number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1986, Leo Sayer : released a version of the song with a contemporary reworking of the "wall of sound" production technique that included an unusual electric guitar solo near the climax. The single charted in the UK at No. 54.
Robson & Jerome version: is notable as the best-selling single of 1995 in the UK. It also launched the singing career of Robson & Jerome, and became the biggest hit in the UK for Simon Cowell, marking his beginning as a significant figure in the music industry.
U2 : covered the song as a B-side to their 1989 single, "All I Want Is You", and included in their compilation album The Best of 1980-1990. They have performed the song live many times, including one captured on their 1993 concert film Zoo TV: Live from Sydney. Bono and The Edge also performed the song together with "One" for the charity 46664 Concert in tribute to Nelson Mandela held in Cape Town in 2003.
Cyndi Lauper: was nominated for a 2005 Grammy award for "Best Instrumental Composition Accompanying a Vocal" for her interpretation of the song, which appears on her 2003 studio album At Last.
In 2006, singer Barry Manilow : covered the song on his album The Greatest Songs of the Fifties and was released as a single.[156] The song reached number 20 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

A single, based on this recording, was released in March 1978. It reached No. 6 in the country charts of both the US and Canada, and was certified Gold by Music Canada on July 10, 1986 Another live version recorded earlier in April 1977 in Ann Arbor, Michigan was included in his last album Moody Blue.

It was ranked No. 64 on the 1997 Year End Country Songs chart in the US,and No. 49 in Canada's Year End Country Tracks chart.
Hahaha watch him bite his lip hahaha. Yeah I still get goosebumps everytime I play it. They were true talent
Love how you caught the lip bite.
Emily, you're cute as a bugs ear! That's a good thing, I promise. Bobby Hatfield had a unique voice. It's a great song and I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. This song gives chills practically every time I hear it. This was talent back in 1965.
Blue Eyed Soul at its finest!
Bobby, I need your Love.. You, here you go. CLASSIC!!!
Great reaction, to a great song !!
u funny.. Excellent reaction-Thx.
That's Bobby Hatfield Singing Unchained Melody
As a grandma, I can say your reaction was adorable. Made me smile. 😊
Thanks for not stoping and talking through the whole video
Awesome
Love your reaction!!
So classy Bobby Hatfield.
Here on TH-cam, there is a TV performance by The Righteous Brothers, along with The Blossoms (an African-American female R & B trio), singing a cover of the Ray Charles hit song, "The Night Time Is The Right Time", on an episode of the ABC Rock music TV series, "Shindig" in 1964. It is a fun Classic Rock music performance, and I recommend that you do a reaction to the TV performance.
You're a trip. Rock on.
That's what I am saying, "Here ya go, you've got my love".
I hope there is a place were he can hear ppl appreciating him.
My husband and I danced under the stars to this💗 40 years later he is still romantic!!! One lucky gal here💙
There's not a woman alive who can watch this without a little moisture. It's why it became a massive number 1 hit even 25 years later.
If you look on TH-cam there are other clips of when both brothers walk out and it’s decided that Bobbie will sing the solo.
Absolutely wrong. Bobby recorded the studio version and it became an instant hit, he was always going to sing the live version. Watch it again; nowhere in that video is it shown that they decide right there - in fact Bobby flatly states, "I sing that one by myself", or something like that. This myth gets more preposterous every time I hear it!
Check out their live performance of You'll Never Walk Alone.
You stumbled upon what many people think is the greatest live, male vocal performance of all time. If you have not reacted to Pentatonix or Home Free...do yourself a favor... They both will help you grow your channel...and love of musical talent. Enjoy the ride if you dare to take it! LOL :)
You are a nice person...good luck with your channel. I subbed you God bless you
Thank you so much 😊
He’s just on it!
Great reaction!
Live band and performance. He and Bill Medley (not real brothers) both wanted to record the single, so they tossed a coin and Bobby Hatfield won. It was meant to be because no one could match this perfection. After 60 years it’s still thrills old and young alike. RIP Bobby.
You need to play some more of their hits. They were awesome! Love!!!💞
That lip bite tho 🥰
Rest in peace Bobby
You've lost that loving feeling from the rightous brothers then you'll hear both medley and Hatfield singing
It was featured in the movie, "Ghost". Bobby had severe stage fright which had to have been worse as his parents were there during this Andy Williams show performance. Bobby had a *four octave range* . What you seeing her is complete CONTROL in his singing. He didn't have to *strain* his high notes. No strain or look like he's even trying. Bobby is 25 in this performance live on the
Andy Williams show. Why no clapping or vocalizations during the song? In these shows (check out The Animals on the Ed Sullivan show) they politely ask the audience to *not* do this. Ever really want to hear a performance and you just really wish the audience would just shut up! I think that last sweet smile where he bites his lower lip meant he knew that he damn *KILLED IT* .
Also Bobby is so damn fine! That outfit is just pure swank without being gaudy. Diamond pinkie ring without being outrageously gaudy big.
Their song "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" holds the record as most song plays ever on the radio. If you REALLY want to listen to a true blue eyed soul listen to "I Just Want to Make Love With You".
The ladies listen and get blushed.
It's called blue eyed soul🎶
Sweetie, it don't get any better than that ❤️🌎❤️ and if I may ask? What is it about him bitting his lip?
I've seen 4 ladies react the same way when he bites his lip. Peace my lady❤️😁❤️
Lover your reaction glad to see young appreciate good music.
I need your love...”there you go” lol
Back in the day this was known as blue eyed soul!
Lip bite at the end.
Summertime by bobby is insane. A little forgotten song with so much soul
Another great live one from 1966 by the two of them worth reacting to is (You're My) Soul and Inspiration
Thank you
Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley are known as the Righteous Brothers Bill Medley is the tall one Bobby Hatfield is the Short one
Loved this reaction, was going to sub, then realized I was already subed...lol
You should listen to rock and roll heaven by these guys,incredible!
Soul and inspiration or You've Lost That Loving Feeling
Bobby Hatfield of the Wrightous Brothers
Tha man could really sing
Smitten Kitten
That LIVE? WHATTTTT?
