So many slices of the 60s would be full on once in a lifetime bands today - there will never be an era like that again. Bigger than giants - gargantuan. Righteous Brothers were huge and everyone loved them for a few years there. The 70s comeback actually worked for a minute. Midnight Special just released their show on TH-cam - one of the best
Great interview, didn't know it existed. So sad of the death of Bobby Hatfield. Bill Medley and him are Iconic and historic.The 60s was the greatest era of music ever...., Rock n Soul........Blue Eyed Soul... Bring it on
Happy to have run across this. Love seeing these two talk. Awesome seeing them older and reminiscing. Thank you both for the beautiful gems you gave us.
@@jamesfunghini5076 I love Everly Bros and their harmonies. They were one of the groups RB liked. But RB advantage was the amazing ranges of their voices, which Everlys couldn't match. They often sounded like a quartet. Also they had a dynamic between them that came across to audiences. RB sang a wider range of music. Soul, blues, R&B, rock, spirituals etc.
@@jamesfunghini5076 Not quite. The Everly's sing very well. But they never put the feeling and soul into their music the way Bobby and Bill did. No one did. The Everly's did not have the amazing voices 0f the Righteous Brothers.
I,m going to miss him. What a voice when they sang unchained melody it brought tears to my eyes. When he brought his voice so high I got chills. By Bobbie you will be missed. Love you. We will take care of your other half.
They are interviewed for LEGENDS. Bobby does make sure Bill is included and that he - Bobby - ìs not taking over. A gentle-man and gentleman through and through. What's not to love!
Elvis did Hound Dog in 1956, although written by Lieber and Stoller, was first recorded/done by Big Mamma Thornton in 19, who was a rhythm and blues singer. so really that makes Elvis the first white man to do a rhythm and blues song, not the Righteous Brothers. Elvis also did R and B songs like Lawdy Miss Clawdy, etc.in the mid 1950's.
@@ohnothin2919 your right. I just looked at their biography and it says they started performing together in 1962. They said in the interview that they were celebrating their 21sr anniversary so this interview must be around 83
@@uncjim You're welcome. Sometimes I forget how much additional info is sometimes available using the up/down buttons. I too thought Tush looked familiar until I realized it was because it's a great relaxed and humorous vid and I like watching and listening to the RB more than once. 😍 We know that they had to battle "the British invasion". Liked Bill's comment that at the beginning of their career the middle of the road stations didn't play their music because they were considered too hard rock!
@@uncjim Me too. I'm only 5 years younger than the RB so I was busy concentrating on high school, college, career and marriage. Now that I'm retired and socially distancing I'm making up for lost time. 😂🎶🎤💿💙
@@dawnmurphy7488 Well what other Righteous Brothers were there? There was no need to specify their active years. No other video on youtube about any band does that. Not Nirvana. Not Coctaeu Twins. Not R.E.M. Not Queen. Not any band that ever existed, so it needs to be fixed and say the 80s because that's when this interview was recorded.
@@dawnmurphy7488 I thought the video was going to be from the 60s as well. It's weird to mention the date of the active years of a band or group. It makes more sense to give us the year or at least decade of the video we're about to watch.
@@nirv I did not think the video was from the 60's. Lynn Lobliner did. I was pointing out to her that the video title meant that the duo started out in the 60's.
No one ever saw him take anything or under the influence. He died of 95% blockage. The results of the Autopsy are suspect. That aside, Why do people have to bring it up. You dont see people calling Elvis a pill popper or Janice Joplin a junky. They comment on their talent. Bobby was one of the greatest singers.
Most fans of Bobby are just thrilled to see footage of him. Then, there are asswipes like you. We all know he had his demons, and that they contributed to his demise, but where have you ever read that he had an addiction problem. Most everyone was into cocaine in the 80’s, so are you saying they were all addicts? Crawl back in your hole
Wikipedia should be sued for claiming drugs as cause of Bobby’s death 😡 I’ been searching everywhere and never found any mention to that. His adiction was only cigarettes !! Bill himself affirmed he never noticed nothing wrong with him.
There is no proof he was on anything. No one ever saw him take anything or under the influence. I find the results of his autopsy suspect. It doesnt add up. He had 95% blockage.
@@teresadavilasoares6136 thank you for Taking up for Bobby. Bill said he never saw him take anything or under the influence. He said Bobby never lost his appetite. Bobby was thin later on but he did have heart problems, Also after the vicious attack from a drunk bartender at their club, he broke his nose teeth, bones in his face and palette plus esophagus damage and some nerve damage. He had to have 2-3 surgeries to fix it all. That would make you lose some weight.
Two of the Greatest Duos ever for sure
This allows the fans an opportunity to see the Righteous Brothers being regular guys 🥰
Loved stumbling onto this! Treasure every Righteous Brothers video that shows up on here!! Especially seeing Bobby since he is gone.
I love to hear Bobby Hatfield laugh. I can just imagine 🤣😄🤣🤣
Miss you Bobby, love The Righteous Brothers 💗💗💗

WoW! I love finding new Righteous Brothers videos
The righteous brothers ,was the greatest duo of all!
Earl sauls. I beg to differ,you got a put the Everly Brothers right up there with them
@@jamesfunghini5076 they were great but I liked the Righteous bros, more!
James Funghini apples to oranges. Sang two completely different kinds of music. They were both great though

Captivating, mesmerizing voices....and they had the looks

This is a wonderful interview, the host is great, obviously a fan.
Just found this interview and it is wonderful
Very good interview.....in my view.
Bobby always looked to Bill for clarification in interviews, like a big brother sort of thing 🙂
Loved this interview
He did that while singing too 😁 they may not have been real brothers, but they sure had that kind of relationship!
Great video find! Ive never seen Bill Tush before but hes cool too. The "Brothers" are always cool :)
Love this video!
Melissa Ward here. Wonderful interview.

How can this be an interview from the 60's when they are talking about things in the 70's?
Haha. I didn’t even notice that
Must be the 80's, 20th anniversary mentioned

The Bill Tush show was the 80s
he was really called Tush? He'd have had to change his name over here! :D
Late 70s too. Funny guy.
Bobbie Hatfield was right, the word is sham.
Bobby
This is the 70s
1982 - they mentioned their 20th anniversary and they started in 62
Bill Medley always feared what might come out of Bobby's mouth.
Bobby sure loved his nose candy. Unfortunately musicians and singers get free stuff for awhile then comes the hook. God bless you Bobby Hatfield.

@@spoodlew Autopsy and the Drug report does not lie. Elvis Joplin were junkies with money.
