There are people who can sing in every generation. What we need now is songwriters and producers to pair those voices with beautiful lyrics and music, and promote it. That's what was happening with the Righteous Brothers.
The music of the late 60's through the mid 90's was the best music ever. So many great singers, songs and groups. No wonder they are called the Golden Oldies. No music like it since.
I I wish we had singers like that today as well I grew up with these wonderful artists... and that is what is so missing in today's music for the most part: heart and real soul.
I just love what you saying young man. Music shouldn't know race, age, ethnicity or gender, it should just touch your soul. Hard to beat great singers.......no matter what era they were in.
I am 61 years old and grew up with this type music. I think you can see why we say, we had the best type music, No Swearing, No Killing, No Bullying, just old romance and fun type songs. You say you really don't care much for today's music, some of it is good, but only You can begin to bring music to the standards you like to hear. Starting telling the people who follow you and the word will get out to the music companies and artists. Only You Can Change The World Now, It's your turn.. Best Of Luck...
Astounding! You ought to listen to Elvis Presley's rendition of this song & Unchained Melody , too! These folks are our icons for a reason! We have yet to see any entertainer today who could compete successfully with the Righteous Brothers or Elvis! This isn't really "old" music because it is universal & speaks of feelings man will have ( hopefully) throughout the span of humanity! It's important for young folks to listen to heartfelt music like this! It just may awaken their souls & they may just discover the true meaning of God's love within themselves ( & for each other, )in this seemingly soulless & heartless age! Just a thought! I really enjoyed your reaction! It gives us hope for future generations! Thanks!
You know about half of the population of the country are walking the earth because of these men's songs.Lots of babies were created because of their music.
Well sweetie you have brought it to your generation, that's the great thing about music, it can belong to whoever wants it when they want it, it's timeless, most of it anyway! I love your channel and love your thoughtful reactions!
They began their career singing as a duo in So Cal at an Air Force base. When they sang, the numerous Black men in this audience of airmen would shout out, "That's RIGHTEOUS brother!" A very appropriate name for them...
Just keep digging and you will always have this era's music. It's all we listen to. Also, we were blessed to grow up with 50 s 60 s ,and 70 s as kids. The music we listened to back then was just so pure. It felt like was hitting your soul.
You are right about it sounding like Motown. I was 14 when this came out. These guys' music inspired me to like Motown, rather than the frivolous rock and roll that was flooding the markets at that time. These guys sang with heart and soul. How could you not be touched by this. Even commercial Motown can't touch these guys. Does my heart good to see a young guy like you appreciate this music.
The Righteous Brothers... wow, righteous indeed; two contrasting voices that came together to form beautiful harmonious SOUL. Back in the day, EVERYONE thought they were Black... but does it really matter? Beautiful music is beautiful music, talent is talent and soul IS soul. They were singing t a small club, mostly Black patrons were grooving to their music, and a young Black guy in a Navy uniform stepped up to the stage and said, "That's righteous, brother, righteous!" And the name stuck. They ARE righteous and so is their beautiful harmony and their list of music. Those were the good ol' days. We're lucky to have recordings today to enjoy their music.
Enjoyed the reaction ! Give a listen to Frankie Vali and the Four Seasons. A great song is Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You. Roy Orbison is another great ! Only the Lonely ! Two great singers ! Two great songs !!
The Righteous Brothers are known as "Blue Eyed Soul; they're extremely soulful; their voices compliment each other; this is pure talent; they're exceptional; you don't hear music like this tdy
I was fortunate to be teenager when they were performing. Amen. ✨ No voice synthesizers, no control booth. Just the voices. To be honest, if thOse technological advances had existed then, people would have taken advantage of them. But they did not. So we were blessed, as they did not yet exist. And voices likes these, and others, resonated through the airwaves. As I said, we were blessed. AND ... YOU are BLESSED to have discerning ears and eyes ... to hear and appreciate what others have overlooked. God bless you, always.
Yup yup! These kinds of songs are almost not written anymore. Glad this song will be testing the hands of time. Thanks for reacting to this song. A pure pleasure. I do believe this song might have been the most requested song of the 20th century.
Life and music went on long before all of us arrived. It is a good thing to hold on to it in your generation and appreciate it and love it. By doing that you are keeping it your generation! And you will pass it on. You have a big, open heart. You are special.
I was 15 yrs old when they came out with this beautiful song. I'm so glad you are enjoying our blue eyed soul singers. They were so awesome!!! I agree with you about today's music. I tried listening and it doesn't appeal to me. I've always loved good music even at 73 yrs old. Bless you! Your awesome!!! ❤❤
Sometimes I just want to give you a big hug right through my screen! 🤗You remind me so much of my 11 year old son. He has an "old soul" and loves old music and movies, especially Queen!
If goosebumps were dollars I'd be a millionaire. Love the music, so enjoy watching you appreciate music that was created for the soul and not bank accounts.
I remember growing up, I said then it was the best music ever, past or future... The way notes.& rhythm can be uniquely combined, add lyrics...sadly, not infinite. Blessed to have experienced, lived and enjoyed it!! Love, love you bringing some of the best back to the spotlight!!!
A little fact. This was the most played song of the 20th century. Great music lives. Give Rock and Roll Heaven a listen. The Righteous Brothers did this in 1974. Thx
You're spot on . Loved motown and all the rest of the 50s and 60s tunes . I was lucky enough to be a teenager but you've only scratched the surface of the music from back in the day .so many more of these beautiful songs await you . Keep it going ....
I think there always be good singers and songwriters. The difference now is that the industry decides what to push so they can make money. Many great independent singers in the margins though. However the warmth in these old recordings is unsurpassed .
I agree 100%with your reaction.. we had the best music in the late 50s and through the 60s😍.i know because I was alive back then..i still love it to this day..😍it's timeless💥
Such a beautiful song and two of the greatest voices ever. , the 60’s, 70’s and part of the 80’s were the best years as far as music goes. I hope your doing well
You have a lot of heart and soul. Depth! Very sweet to see in a young guy like you. Gives me hope! I'm appreciating this song a lot more than I did when it was on the radio all the time in 1964. I never saw this video then (there were no videos, just tv).
When you said that you wished that music would get back to this, though you understood that you may not like what everyone else likes...I literally raised up my hands, man. Preach. You've got alot of like minded souls out there that were born a couple decades too late.
Does my heart good to know that your generation is becoming aware of this generation. I grew up listening to them but they were actually the generation before me. Thanks for giving it a try!
I agree with you about older music. We do need the pure talent of those times, without autotune and "studio" voices and all the enhancements. These days really lack that.
My dad introduced me to this and I basically forgot about them until this year, and I went back to it and appreciate it even more now. The best part was then showing to it my kids, and a 10,12,and 15 year old all really like the righteous brothers. Agree we need more of this stuff
Only your generation can change the vast hole that exist in music today. Keep listening to what great music use to sound like!! The pendulant will swing back!
J You won me over when you reacted to Amira. I "discovered" her around the same time. (I'm still hooked ). It's great to hear you say something like "my soul needed that" I agreed with you then and still do. ... a fan.
Its true. It seems like the look and market ability means more then talent. Nowadays what u hear from today's songs are mixed and polished so damn much all the soul and heart of music is left on the recording scrap pile

I wish we had more singers like them also. Raw without computer trickery and auto tune. Love the rawness.
I I wish we had singers like that today as well I grew up with these wonderful artists... and that is what is so missing in today's music for the most part: heart and real soul.

But baby, baby I know it......chills up my spine!
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were my generation but they speak to all generations and all people.
Your right, this music in todays world would make it a better place.
Astounding! You ought to listen to Elvis Presley's
rendition of this song & Unchained Melody , too! These folks are our icons for a reason! We have yet to see any entertainer today who could compete successfully with the Righteous Brothers or Elvis! This isn't really "old" music because it is universal & speaks of feelings man will have ( hopefully) throughout the span of humanity!

Just a thought! I really enjoyed your reaction! It gives us hope for future generations!
Thanks!
No doubt the older generation of music was fabulous and I hear nothing to compare it to these days!
You're absolutely right. We need these pure singers now days. Older music has so much more soul in it.
The Righteousness Brothers are timeless. The came out in 1962 when I was a sophomore in high school. Still listen to them today at age 76. RIP Bobby.
Two extremely talented singers coming together to create an unforgettable harmony!!!
i never get tired of this song. it is beautiful!
You know about half of the population of the country are walking the earth because of these men's songs.Lots of babies were created because of their music.
Well sweetie you have brought it to your generation, that's the great thing about music, it can belong to whoever wants it when they want it, it's timeless, most of it anyway! I love your channel and love your thoughtful reactions!
"Today's music...It doesn't fit my soul..." That is so right and so beautiful...
Blue eyed soul
I CAN SEE THE GUENUINE JOY IN YOUR FACE ON LISTENING TO THE SUPERB MUSIC OF FORMER TIMES BLESS YOUR GENUINE HEART!
Righteous Brothers are Great !
"Blue-eyed" soul. Can't beat Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. The Righteous Brothers are aptly named.
so them in person just like the record
🎯💯So true !!👍
They began their career singing as a duo in So Cal at an Air Force base. When they sang, the numerous Black men in this audience of airmen would shout out, "That's RIGHTEOUS brother!" A very appropriate name for them...
Iconic song from iconic blue-eyed soul duo! Awesome for all time. So glad you like it!
Just keep digging and you will always have this era's music. It's all we listen to. Also, we were blessed to grow up with 50 s 60 s ,and 70 s as kids. The music we listened to back then was just so pure. It felt like was hitting your soul.
It is sooooo sweet to see you loving our music!!!! Thanks!
I wish these great singers were in our generation as well!
Oh man,I so know EXACTLY what you mean.I love your smile when you're feeling the music like we do.
You are right about it sounding like Motown. I was 14 when this came out. These guys' music inspired me to like Motown, rather than the frivolous rock and roll that was flooding the markets at that time. These guys sang with heart and soul. How could you not be touched by this. Even commercial Motown can't touch these guys. Does my heart good to see a young guy like you appreciate this music.
Blue eyed soul.....
The joy on your face is great to see. Thank you.
Great duo.
You gave the highest compliment to 1960s music that we need that in the 2020s. The Righteous Brothers can do it. Thank you!
one of the greatest love lost songs ever written
Blue eyed soul.
I agree with you and we need more songs that make you feel!! I grew up in the 60’s!!!
I can't listen to this song without tearing up 🥲 - it's just utterly beautiful and deeply touching😍
The Righteous Brothers... wow, righteous indeed; two contrasting voices that came together to form beautiful harmonious SOUL.

I like the way you think about music, JB.
Your comments are so true. We need this again
I was fortunate to be teenager when they were performing. Amen. ✨ No voice synthesizers, no control booth. Just the voices.

We all still call them Bill and Bobby......50 years later... true greatest never gets old...blue eyed soul!
I agree with you, today's music is about the catchy "hook". These guys were passionate and talented story tellers.
Blue eyed soul from my generation to yours.
Yup yup! These kinds of songs are almost not written anymore. Glad this song will be testing the hands of time. Thanks for reacting to this song. A pure pleasure. I do believe this song might have been the most requested song of the 20th century.
Wonderful song, I listened to this as a young child and still love it today ... I love that you see the beauty in music .. you have a pure soul
Mike C I’m 50 but my parents played me this as a young child
I agree we do need more music...singing, relevant, beautiful voices. I miss it too :( #oldskoolrocks
Life and music went on long before all of us arrived. It is a good thing to hold on to it in your generation and appreciate it and love it. By doing that you are keeping it your generation! And you will pass it on. You have a big, open heart. You are special.

I love their songs and music
When music touches your soul it’s timeless!!
Great music transcends generations!
What the newer generation is missing is not so much the singer but the songs! I haven't heard but just a few really good songs in seriously decades!
70 s music is Gods gift to.you James 🎁🎶♩🎵❤
Fitting song for today’s music, bring back that loving feeling.
Love your soulful reaction. Thanks for keeping good music, like this, alive.
JB I’m a 70’s kid you are right we had the best music ever YOU ARE WHAT WE CALL AN OLD SOUL FOR YOUR AGE KEEP THE GREAT MUSIC COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just loved your reaction to this. They did have soul.
Sometimes I just want to give you a big hug right through my screen! 🤗You remind me so much of my 11 year old son. He has an "old soul" and loves old music and movies, especially Queen!
Bill was the weight and Bobby soared. They were righteous 🔥
Thank you . Enjoyed immensely.
Well said...We need real talent to inspire us again.
If goosebumps were dollars I'd be a millionaire. Love the music, so enjoy watching you appreciate music that was created for the soul and not bank accounts.
Great analysis. Real soul is unmistakable no matter who is singing. Thanks
These guys would sing nearly any modern singer right off the stage...
I remember growing up, I said then it was the best music ever, past or future... The way notes.& rhythm can be uniquely combined, add lyrics...sadly, not infinite. Blessed to have experienced, lived and enjoyed it!! Love, love you bringing some of the best back to the spotlight!!!
Your smile when they were breaking in down back and forth spoke volumes as to just how good Medley and Hatfield are. Fantastic vocals. Nice reaction.
Love this song old ones are the best 👍💕
A little fact. This was the most played song of the 20th century. Great music lives. Give Rock and Roll Heaven a listen. The Righteous Brothers did this in 1974. Thx
You're spot on .
Loved motown and all the rest of the 50s and 60s tunes . I was lucky enough to be a teenager but you've only scratched the surface of the music from back in the day .so many more of these beautiful songs await you . Keep it going ....
You get it...Not the show, it's the passion. ..carry on, love ya
I think there always be good singers and songwriters. The difference now is that the industry decides what to push so they can make money. Many great independent singers in the margins though. However the warmth in these old recordings is unsurpassed .
I agree 100%with your reaction.. we had the best music in the late 50s and through the 60s😍.i know because I was alive back then..i still love it to this day..😍it's timeless💥
Real music, by real and talented singers for sure and no auto tune. Great reaction bro...
Such a beautiful song and two of the greatest voices ever. , the 60’s, 70’s and part of the 80’s were the best years as far as music goes. I hope your doing well
Love the reaction when Bill Medley rasps "baby"
Great reaction to oldies. There is a buildup of emotion then a release.
You have a lot of heart and soul. Depth! Very sweet to see in a young guy like you. Gives me hope!
I'm appreciating this song a lot more than I did when it was on the radio all the time in 1964. I never saw this video then (there were no videos, just tv).
When you said that you wished that music would get back to this, though you understood that you may not like what everyone else likes...I literally raised up my hands, man. Preach. You've got alot of like minded souls out there that were born a couple decades too late.
Doesn't it just ring true for anyone that notices the change in a relationship?. Oldies are the goldies!
This song is the most listened to song on radio and TV in the twentieth century .
Does my heart good to know that your generation is becoming aware of this generation. I grew up listening to them but they were actually the generation before me. Thanks for giving it a try!
When you get goose bumps, you know that the greats have just performed a classic.
The Brother s were great. Dancing slow with your first love. Great memories
You're a honest young man. And you're wiser than many far older.
We need such voices and soul in our generation. You've just nailed it...
I totally agree with you JB, I was born in the 70s and think the 60's -90's has the best music.
...ah, the minute you closed your eyes towards the end, you GOT it!
I agree with you about older music. We do need the pure talent of those times, without autotune and "studio" voices and all the enhancements. These days really lack that.
"Soul and Inspiration" ; The Righteous Brothers
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
It’s undoubtedly a great song !
Thank you for playing that and listening to it with me.
This is the definition of a song that slaps
Totally feel the same about music 😊💕
My dad introduced me to this and I basically forgot about them until this year, and I went back to it and appreciate it even more now. The best part was then showing to it my kids, and a 10,12,and 15 year old all really like the righteous brothers. Agree we need more of this stuff
Only your generation can change the vast hole that exist in music today. Keep listening to what great music use to sound like!! The pendulant will swing back!
That song was popular when I was in grade school. Lord, does it bring back memories.
J
You won me over when
you reacted to Amira.
I "discovered" her around the same time.
(I'm still hooked ).
It's great to hear you say something like "my
soul needed that" I
agreed with you then
and still do. ... a fan.
We had the best of the best in the '60s. That is the only thing I would want to go back for. The Music.
Thank you. I was a teenager in the 1960's. It's great to hear a younger person agree, that (most) of today's music is Crap.
Its true. It seems like the look and market ability means more then talent. Nowadays what u hear from today's songs are mixed and polished so damn much all the soul and heart of music is left on the recording scrap pile
Something else to consider... They sang it just like the record. Live. No recordings. No autotune. Everybody back then did it that. ♥️
