You implied that Bobby was a little out of his element. No, he wasn't. Bobby did what he always did. Put all of his heart, soul, and emotion into every performance. Listen to his live performance in 1965, on the Andy Williams Show, of "Unchained Melody."
Bobby Hatfield, one of the greatest. He had a 4 octave range. Check out his rendition of Unchained Melody from 1965, live on the Andy Williams Show. His rendition has been the most covered of the 3 versions that came before his. Bobby owns that song. (the song came from a prison movie Unchained, from the 50's....a prisoner singing about the woman he hopes is waiting for him) Check out Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, The Righteous Bros., : You've Lost That Loving Feeling, Soul and Inspiration, Rock and Roll Heaven. Bill Medley had a hit from the movie Dirty Dancing called The Time of My Life. It's because of these guys that the phrase "Blue-eyed Soul" was coined. They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A great duo that didn't get the recognition they deserved until years later.
Perhaps they needed a better agent. Happened to see John Denver on the Phil Donahue show and I thought "why didn't these guys get on those type of shows".
Yes they are the Righteous Brothers..their last names are different..however…one of my favorite groups..they always sang like this..Bobby had a high range
You suggested that Bobbie was trying to hard? It's obvious that you don't know the man and his music no one could be more wrong. This is the soul of Bobbie Hatfield pure and real.
Clearly I don't know this man. Never heard of him before the other video I did of the righteous brothers. To me, Seeing as it was MY reaction video. TO ME. He was doing a little too much. And if that's his "soul", "pure & real" Kool👏🏾👏🏾. He still was doing too much. In MY opinion.
An artist's interpretation is in itself art, you need to expand your mind to incorporate all artistic expression. Listen to his many exceptional song's with and without the other Rightous brother
@@yeahimdom2677 you're reaction was yours and it was real. If 'd heard this song before hearing a dozen or more other songs by him and Bill in the '60s, I'd probably have had the same reaction. The boys from Anaheim were pure gold, and Bill still is. Thanks for sharing.
@@alansorensen5903 I appreciate that. I am never one to take away from someone's talent or legacy. Both are great singers. This song was just not for me.
BEST DESCRIPTION OF THE SOUL AND FEELING HE HAD IN HIS SINGING, FISH OUT OF WATER. YOUR IMPRESSION OF A FISH OUT OF WATER WAS FANTASTIC! ONLY YOU'RE MUCH, MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANY FISH I EVER IMAGINED.
Blue eyed soul ... the incredible Bobby Hatfield. Perhaps you didn't like his interpretation of this song, but I did note your head moving side and side to the beat which tells me the song was getting to your soul.
I understand that art is subjective (maybe this isn't your kind of musical preference, fair enough) and that you think that Bobby is "fishing out of the water" in this performance, but he is not. He is putting his heart and soul into this song like he did in every other song he ever sang. His talent was off the charts. He was a great singer with a gifted voice that didn't need any technical aid available in our time that most singers normally use when they perform nowadays. Maybe that's why is hard to recognize great talent, we are not used to hear it anymore. Not because it doesn't exist but because it's hard to discern amongst the loud cacophony of noises constantly assaulting us in our everyday
Ah well she doesnt understand real soul when she hears it. Not many singers could sing that song as good as Bobby sang it. He was so clever and talented
I understand your reaction to Bobby's interpretation of this song. I think the song is more originally like a lullaby to a baby - smoother, softer, flowing - from George Gershwin's opera, "Porgy and Bess." But Bobby put his own spin with a more soulful interpretation to it. It may not fit the original intent of the aria, but I personally like his fresh interpretation to it. You are entitled not to, though, so don't be too insulted by those criticizing you for saying what you think. What's the point of a reaction channel if you can't say how you really feel about something? Cheers! :)
Well good thing you're really no music aficionado..these entertainers from the '60's were some of the finest artists to ever perform..and this man, Bobby Hatfield had a vocal range of 4.5 (if you even know what that is)..not impressed with your negative reaction..😒🤨
Are you a little bit racist to Bob cause he was singing soul ? Or because he's blonde,blue eyed and handsome, and your not ? Or because his voice is better than most singers today ? Or he made you uncomfortable because of your stereotypes? Pick one of these or let's hear your own bias 🤔
Imagine, calling a black person being racist almost like it's not impossible. I don't care who tf sings what genre of music because my people created it all. Lmmfao. Y'all are hilarious 😂. Because I don't see his performance like you do then automatically it has to be because he's white. Im not like y'all, if he was black and sung and performed this exact performance identically I would have said the same thing. Like be soooo f#$* for real
You know I love comments like this. It reminds me of how little I give a fuck about people's opinions about what I do on my channel. Thank you Dodie 🫡. I hope you have the day you deserve.
Well Mary, you know what's funny?? I know exactly what kind of person you are, and I could absolutely take a few moments out of my day to read you for filth. However I also know you're not worth it. 😉😂 Therefore, I hope you have the day you deserve. ✌🏾
Body movements help create vibrations when singing. He used his whole body in this one to invent new notes.
You implied that Bobby was a little out of his element. No, he wasn't. Bobby did what he always did. Put all of his heart, soul, and emotion into every performance. Listen to his live performance in 1965, on the Andy Williams Show, of "Unchained Melody."
I didn't imply anything. I just gave my opinion on THIS performance.
Bobby was not the one out of his element.
clearly@@finallythere100
bobby is a legendary counter-tenor, higher then a tenor lower then a saprona, but with excellent clarity in his high notes
No other singer could even attempt this incredible feat.❤
Bobby Hatfield is one of the best SOUL singers who ever lived!!!!!!!!!
Bobby Hatfield, one of the greatest. He had a 4 octave range. Check out his rendition of Unchained Melody from 1965, live on the Andy Williams Show.

Bobby had not only an incredible range
But incredible breath control.
You got to be kidding that he was trying!!! HE was the best singer ever to sing in 60 years.
Respectfully I completely disagree. He definitely could sing, but the best in 60 years🤔. Come on😂
Bobby Hatfield today shop her live job on summertime. His magnificent voice and his soul just made it an experience to listen to and a pleasure.
You suggested that Bobbie was trying to hard? It's obvious that you don't know the man and his music no one could be more wrong. This is the soul of Bobbie Hatfield pure and real.

Yes, these are the Righteous Brothers!
Check out bobby's other solos, and you will definitely appreciate his great talent, definitely Righteous!
Bobby Hatfield was a great singer!!!!
Yes
Bobby was the greatest.
That man could sing♡
He’s so smooth!
❤❤❤You should try Unchained melody and You've lost that loving feeling next if you liked them!

Lol imagine assuming something about someone you know nothing about 😂😂 y'all are hilarious
1/2 of The Righteous Brothers.
Yes, Bill and Bob were the Righteous Brothers. Bill still is. Sadly we lost Bobby in 2003.

Janis Joplin didn’t sing it as a lullaby either
Don't quit that job! Ya hear!
Care to explain what you mean?
Mary, do you have relatives from Illinois (Civil war era) ?
Don't quit your day job ...
They had their own show for a while in the 60s.
Is there something wrong with you?
Fish out of water ?
You have no idea.
Interesting to compare with the Janice Joplin version. Her voice breaks too but it works.
Where did his voice break. I don’t know any singer who has more control over his vocals than. Bobby Hatfield
Would You say that if He was Black?
Absolutely... Stupid.
