His performance is timeless. His recorded version from the studio is amazing. But, this version being done live with no safety net is unmatched. I don’t know who could do that today. Honestly.
This epic and greatest performance of "Unchained Melody" done 55 years ago in 1965. Has gone on to become one of the greatest live performances in television history. In this rendition of composer's 'Alex North's' "Unchained Melody." The instrumental arrangement by the 'Andy Williams Orchestra' made prominent the string section in this the best version of them all. The 'violins' were kicking it in this version. Then you add the incomparable voice of 'Bobby Hatfield'... One of the greatest 'Tenors' in rock and roll history. And together they created a masterpiece that will live on in memoriam. For this performance alone 'Bobby Hatfield' will go down as one of the greatest 'Tenors' in music history. May he rest in peace.
I am 81 and have heard several artist before Bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of there albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we now. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. 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.
I saw an emotional reaction to this classic--yes, most people who watch Bobby Hatfield perform this beautiful love song react and it will remember it for years to come
Imagine missing your boyfriend or husband who you haven't seen in almost a year. This song is a message from him. When you do get to see him you are so full of emotion. These were the songs that showed us how much we loved each other. It was the only thing we had to hold on to.
People remember Bobby's 1965 version of "Unchained Melody" from the 1990 film "Ghost." The song was originally taken from a 1955 movie called "Unchained;" about a prisoner thinking about breaking out after several failed attempts at parole in a special prison in Chino, CA. The song and lyrics were developed for the movie and sung by a lone prisoner in the Institution. Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield sang in a local bar when a black Marine from El Toro Base at Irvine CA, shouted out to them; Yeah! "That was righteous, Brothers!" Righteous being slang for cool, great, & good.
CAN YOU BELIEVE A PERFORMANCE LIKE THIS FROM BOBBY HATFIELD BACK IN 1965. THIS IS WHAT WE NOW CALL "X-FACTOR PLUS". SO AMAZING AND SO B E A U T I F U L
hi Chi, great reaction , you made my day , when i see young people discover true true talent , i'll throw a few names if you want to check them out, Tom Jones , Johnny Mathis, Gordon McCrae, Bill Kenny , Doris Day, Judy Garland , ooo so many , i'll stop here, one more , Timi Yuro sings ' Hurt, Elaine Page, ok thats enough , ciao 4 now
I sang this to my wife at our wedding in 1983. She, however she said I murdered it. I'm guessing it's not a song for a baritone, she told me I was of better sticking to my drumming. I thought it was an appropriate song as I was in the Royal Marine Commandos, I had returned from the war for the Falkland Islands when I proposed, and now was shipping out to Sierra Leone two days later, so much for my attempt at being romantic. On the upside she liked me in my Dress Uniform, and having my comrades forming the sword tunnel helped. I must have done something write because we're still together. With 4 children and 7 grandchildren, we got busy on baby's when I was home. I served my Queen and Country for 34 years as a Royal Marine Commandos and in the British Special Forces, and then 2 years in hospital, and she stuck by me even though I'm wheelchair bound now. We do actually have a song by Queen called "Your Me Best Friend", a very apt song as she has been my best friend since we were both 15.
The quintessential love song covered by many but Bobby Hatfield owns this song. One of the greatest voices of all time and not many will argue against that. Along with Bill Medley make up the greatest duo of all time. They You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, which was the most played song of the 20th Century. Also Soul and Inspiration, Rock And Roll Heaven. Sadly Bobby passed away in 2003 but their music stands the test of times.
Wow beautiful reaction, would you do a Elvis reaction to suspicious minds or Polk salad from his 1970 performance in Vegas live or One night with you from the 68 comeback special, but be careful he will steal your heart
This song came out in 1955 in a prison movie called "Unchained". You need to listen to it thinking that it is being sung by a prisoner to his wife or girlfriend.
You cut off just as he hit the last note! You MUST play through the last note. You being an emotional person, will experience the full impact of that ending. For a man to hit C/5 is like running a three - minute mile; pole vaulting 40 feet, or breaking the sound barrier in a Cessna 224! It CAN'T BE DONE! except by this guy. Bobby Hatfield was no ordinary singer; neither was his partner, Bill Medley. Listen some more! 😁
This song is plain cruel during the Corona crisis, oh i want to hug my parents so badly, but i can't cause they are old. oh and the last skipping note girl, you need to be spanked for that haha ( just kidding )

Bobby Hatfield is the Short one and Bill Medley is the Tall one
I loved it

If you watch the Movie Ghosts with Patrick Swayze you will definitely cry when they play this song
I'm starting think the phrase "I am feeling emotional while listening to this song" maybe code for something... 😉😉😉
Sorry I can't finish d video ....who are those guys😊😊
Music heals pain

I wish people would stop cutting the song before it ends,you missed his last highest note.
You cut off the best best part 6:45
Unfortunately you cut the track short of it most incredible high note finish & spoiled it.
Can you please react to Avant and KeKe You and I also Teddy swims I can’t make you love me you will enjoy them both
If that song reminds you of your little brother you might have some issues
Oh no. you cut him off at the super high note...Very disappointing.
This song is plain cruel during the Corona crisis, oh i want to hug my parents so badly, but i can't cause they are old. oh and the last skipping note girl, you need to be spanked for that haha ( just kidding )
hahahha I'm sorry. next time will be better ❤
