I love your reaction to "our" music! I grew up in that generation and if you like this you need to get into the 60's and 70's...The best music ever!!!!
Now you know why your parents and grandparents say they don't make music like they used to. No auto tune and real voices, not lip syncing or anything. Massive talents.
Righteous Brothers were HUGE. This was one of the most radio-played song in history -250,000,000 radio plays. The tenor Bobbie Hatfirld od’d in 2002 and left estate of $50m. The baritone Bill Medley is still performing at aged 82. They were once-in-lifetime phenomenon. “Blue-eyed soul” got their name by playing in black clubs in SoCal. Phil Spector produced many of their hits and added the “wall of sound” effect. Timeless brilliance - also best backup singers ever, including a young Cher
Pure raw talent no auto cues...most of what we grew up with was perfection we were spoilt and privileged to be alive, this motown blues and sound 50's 69s and 70s after that they forgot how to play instruments and SING all those enhancement Mike's never needed
I think anyone who has ever loved someone with a depth of feeling…. Then lost them will identify with the sentiments of this song. After watching this video, I looked for my husband of 62 years who was working in the barn…. And I grabbed his hand and went to my knees. With tears in my eyes I asked him to forgive me for all the angry things I’ve said and done to him. I have never known a love like he has shown me over and over throughout the years. Then he helped me up, and hugged me ….. without words.
This is the style of music we danced to at school dances. This song kept the nuns on alert when this song was played. The new generation has no idea what slow dancing is all about.
BLUE EYED SOUL...BILL.MEDLEY & Bobby Hatfield are UNIQUE...NO ONE EVER LIKE THESE AWESOME GUYS...LISTEN TO SOUL & INSPIRATION...Brown Eyed Girl, See That Girl, Little Latin Lupe Lou, NEVER Walk Alone,...more
I’m nearly 80!and loved them in 1964-65 end still can’t get enough of these old videos . Love watching yo younger generations reacting to greatness!❤❤❤❤
I have been on this earth 78 years ,and I see how the music has changed over the years. I was around at the birth of rock n roll .I loved the 40's, 50's, 60's 70's, 80's and some of the 90's.
I'm from England. When I was young I was into Ska then Reggae , motown. When I was 15 northern soul came on the seen. Our djs went to the US to find iost soul, the music that didn't make it in America. Here it was called lost soul for a while but soon was called northern soul because the north of England fell in love with the sound .I still get high now listening to it when I'm 65. Just search northern soul and you'll be amazed. KEEP THE FAITH!
I love your reactions and the depth of your observations! I am a 77-year-old white woman who grew up as a teenager hearing this fabulous music! And I love it as much today, as I did then!
I was 13 yrs. old when these guys were singing this. It was great then, and it is great now! Shawn, enjoy the gifts of music these people have left for you. Bless you for taking the time to listen. I get a big kick out of your generation discovering this music now as we did then.
I love to see people from your generation appreciating our music! Bring us together! I am a 66 y.o. White guy who feels a connection of sorts with you.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
From back in he days when singers (and the songs) were good enough that they didn't need a whole carnival going on behind them on the stage to hold an audience,.
This song was written just for them.It went through the roof.This song was played more than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has surpassed it. It has over 8 million hits and counting.They were 23 yrs old when they started together here they were 25yrs old but are the same age Bobby Hatfield was the tenor voice and Bill Medley was the baritone voice they shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic. They sang together and also did solos. Listen to Bobby Hatfield singing Summertime and Bill Medley singing BROWN EYED WOMAN. (This song was written just for Bill). There are so many they were also known as the Blue Eyed Soul Bros because they sang from their hearts and souls every performance.
This is great. I'm in the rabbit hole watching people react to the brothers. Pure talent no other way to look at it. This my young brother is one of the most played songs of all time.
Kids were born from Righteous Brothers music!!!! I'm 74, graduated in 64 and danced lots of steps to this type of music. Good clean fun and great times and memories. Still smile when I remember where i was and who I was with dancing and listening with. Husband and I have been married for 53 yrs. So love does last. Love to see looks and reactions to MY music, from you young people. Gotta love the power of GOOD music. Endless and priceless. Thanks for the reaction!!!!
It's wonderful to see you enjoying our baby boomer music. There is so much more out there to discover about our music!!! I still have their vinyl records that I purchased in the 60's and 70's.😊
It became more about the shows put on then the actual music and most are lacking pure raw talent like these two had the vocals to perfection! The tall one is still alive and still performing. Back it this time there was no auto tune all there was was a mic the band and the singers no show which is not needed with talent like the Righteous Brothers had.
It was all raw talent back then, no special equipment. And the singers were driven by their talent, not a love of money. I grew up in that era, and all this music means so much to me!
You said it brother the singers back then ..them boys..the temptations..all of them...had talent..not so much now..and they weren't filthy...thanks man..
yeah brother,i'm a white guy from sacramento california.i am now 73 years old and this is the music from the early 60's.we listened to all the good music,sam cooke,otis redding,the rightous brothers and chuck berry and of coarse elvis.there was so much talent then,sadly it has seemed to have died nowadays.maybe,just mayby we can bring on back.
I am almost 70 years old and I just love watching the reaction of young people listening to the music that I grew up with. No electronic voice manipulation just a microphone in an audience and raw talent. Take a girl on a date and play this song and see what happens.
So happy for you and good for you for exploring new music. You are right, talent has been ignored the music CHANGED because, really, corporations took it over, for $$$, for what would sell. I was 16 when this came over the radio!!!
Shawn, Thanks for the great reaction. You were absolutely correct in your feelings about “modern” groups versus the kind of groups back in the 60s, such as Righteous Brothers. Great job! I’m glad I came across your channel. Peace out ✌️
They were the first group to be called "blue-eyed soul" back in the day. They got their name when, playing at a military base, some African-American marines shouted out "man, you sound righteous, brother!". The name stuck. Soul is Soul !!
Every time someone reacts to Bill's "Baby!" in the beginning all I can think is "Just wait for Bobby." Bobby's solo live performance of Unchained Melody is a must. You should also check out Bill's solo of I Just Wanna Make Love to You (unfortunately not live). The live version of The Night Time is the Right Time, with girl group The Blossoms, is great.
I Just Wanna Make Love to You is my favorite song of theirs. It's so raw and sexy for that time period. I'm 69 years old and my heart still goes pitter pat! ;D
I so enjoyed as I began being a teen with Elvis and these brothers and for the next 15 yrs I was blown away and always expected this variety and talent. But alas now a days these talents aren't promoted, only the evil one's picks needing tru tone puppets to promote a divisive perverted world. I'm sure that talent is still there.
Certainly among the Top 10 in pop songs ever. I don't know if this isn't in the Top 3 all time songs. I've listened to this song since it came out in 1964, and I'd estimate I've listened to this song well over a hundred times, and the magic still works. BTW- I love the reviewers of this song, who love this song, they are not singing live on this video.
This is true talent. They got their name while preforming a duet in a club in the south while in a quartet called the Parmores. When a black marine stood up and shouted "That's righteous brothers ". Please listen to their songs (Your My) Soul and Inspiration, Unchained Melody (a solo by Bobby Hatfield. Bill Medly has the deeper voice.
Blue eyed soul was what they were tagged once it was public they were not black singers which were very popular in the 50-60's. I love seeing youthful reactions like yours. The only music that came close to this era IMO was hip hop. Please do more of the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield is my fave and he did solo's in Unchained Melody, Summertime and My Prayer to name a few. Please check him out if you like his soprano voice.
This song was the most played song on American radio and television in the 20th century. They were the first group to be given the moniker "blue-eyed soul". If you liked this song, check out Soul and Inspiration; it was written as a follow-up to the success of this song and peaked at #1 for three straight weeks. I saw them perform in 2001, just 2 years before Bobby Hatfield passed. Even though they were both 61 at the time, their running joke through the show was that they refused to say the word "sixty" so they just said they were fifty-eleven" years old!
Me, I'm a 65-year-old hippie back from the day and you do my heart good. I'll tell you what....we white boys haven't gotten much right, but we got the honor of getting to grow up in the 50's, 60's and 70"s and back then had the best music that there EVER was. You ain't seen nothin yet. The best is yet to come dude.
I love watching these songs. I remember watching my Mom and Dad dancing to this song and they even use to dance in the grocery stores when this song would come on in the stores. People use to watch thrm dance til it was done. I miss them so much. Dad passed in 2007 and Mom in 2014...
Love your comments and yes the late 50s and early 60s had incredibly talented singers. Checkout Sam Cooke, the Everly Brothers, Ben E King, the Drifters, Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis and many many more.
I am an old lady and I was lucky to see them in concert. They just came out on the stage and sang! They were extremely popular.
What we just watched was a live performance. That song had a great deal of difficulty. They just stood up and knocked it out of the park.
I love your reaction to "our" music! I grew up in that generation and if you like this you need to get into the 60's and 70's...The best music ever!!!!
Now you know why your parents and grandparents say they don't make music like they used to. No auto tune and real voices, not lip syncing or anything. Massive talents.
No they don't. Born in 1951, got into oldies at 16. So much great music. Awesome talent. Great guy bands, and just as great girl bands.

Modern music doesn’t respect women or love. It just brings hate and division
These guys were so cool when they walked into a room the furnace kicked on.
blue eyed soul singing baby makin' music

like a breath of fresh air
You are so right with today’s music. There is a lot of different singers back then. I’m 70 yrs old and this was very good music. Enjoy our music.
Awesome reaction!!!! They are the best, I am 59 years old and still listening!!!❤️❤️
Thank you for your lovely reaction, this was the most requested/played record of the 20th century and little wonder
I love your reactions and the depth of your observations! I am a 77-year-old white woman who grew up as a teenager hearing this fabulous music! And I love it as much today, as I did then!
I SECOND THAT EMOTION. IF YOU LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS AND PAST ON DOWN NOW GETTING THE WISDOM MOVING ON .

talent and soul has no color.. they have the strength to bind people together... peace
I was 13 yrs. old when these guys were singing this. It was great then, and it is great now! Shawn, enjoy the gifts of music these people have left for you. Bless you for taking the time to listen. I get a big kick out of your generation discovering this music now as we did then.
The talent is still out there, people have just gotten lazy and depend on technology too much. Love the Righteous Brothers!
Blue-eyed soul at its finest! I grew up with this music.
The greatest music ever! Please, please bring it back!!!
So did I! Baby boomer music!!!
I love to see people from your generation appreciating our music! Bring us together! I am a 66 y.o. White guy who feels a connection of sorts with you.
Amen
I’m a 71 gma! You’ve stumbled onto genius.
This song always makes me shiver, especially with certain notes and words
I love how these guys always give each other the spotlight at the right time. No show boating. Part of what makes them great.
This is a fantastic song
Great reaction..so pure raw authentic..Its moving to watch younger generations to discover music royalty and golden sounds..thank you bro..
Which is why I love the oldies of 30s-60s. Great voices.
Most played song in the 20th Century 😎👍🎶
אתה כל כך צודק פעם היו זמרים כישרוניים❤❤❤היום זמרים זבל..אהבתי את התגובה שלך👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🫶🫶🫶
Yes, I 100 agree with you. Music these day’s aren’t not the old day’s. They were way beyond there generation.! Thank you for your honesty
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary.
“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century.
"Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree.
In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
You are so right so much talent back in those days!!! Now it is gone gone gone!
Loved these guys. I'm 69 and they're icons from the 60s. Love seeing your reaction to them!!
Listen to Unchained Melody!
From back in he days when singers (and the songs) were good enough that they didn't need a whole carnival going on behind them on the stage to hold an audience,.
The 60s was the greatest decade in music.
I know I was there.
This song was written just for them.It went through the roof.This song was played more than any other song in American Radio history.No other song has surpassed it. It has over 8 million hits and counting.They were 23 yrs old when they started together here they were 25yrs old but are the same age Bobby Hatfield was the tenor voice and Bill Medley was the baritone voice they shouldn't have blended together but they did and it was pure magic.

There are so many they were also known as the Blue Eyed Soul Bros because they sang from their hearts and souls every performance.
TY! 12 YEARS OLD IN 65…Loved your reaction…get back to that music? Well, bring it on back!
Blue eyed soul at its best!
This is great. I'm in the rabbit hole watching people react to the brothers. Pure talent no other way to look at it. This my young brother is one of the most played songs of all time.
True talent is now history.
Kids were born from Righteous Brothers music!!!! I'm 74, graduated in 64 and danced lots of steps to this type of music. Good clean fun and great times and memories.

I grew up in this era and the music we had will never ever be duplicated
It's wonderful to see you enjoying our baby boomer music. There is so much more out there to discover about our music!!! I still have their vinyl records that I purchased in the 60's and 70's.😊
Great reaction and comments !! My High School years !! Love the reaction !!
I am beyond thankful I grew up in the golden age of rock and roll music (60s and 70s). We had it all, y’all!
It became more about the shows put on then the actual music and most are lacking pure raw talent like these two had the vocals to perfection! The tall one is still alive and still performing. Back it this time there was no auto tune all there was was a mic the band and the singers no show which is not needed with talent like the Righteous Brothers had.

You said it brother the singers back then ..them boys..the temptations..all of them...had talent..not so much now..and they weren't filthy...thanks man..
This is the most listened to song on radio and tv in the twentieth century .
What you hear Shawn is the baritone of soul. These guys were blue eyed soul.
Pure gold!!!
This is the greatest song of all time
This song came out when I was a sophomore in high school. Still hot as hell 60 years later. Thanks.
I’m glad you agree with
Early talent versus today’s talent.
Zero auto tune, or anything else, yet they sound and have more talent than anything of today. Just makes you realize how special they were.
1965. Blue Eyed Soul!
yeah brother,i'm a white guy from sacramento california.i am now 73 years old and this is the music from the early 60's.we listened to all the good music,sam cooke,otis redding,the rightous brothers and chuck berry and of coarse elvis.there was so much talent then,sadly it has seemed to have died nowadays.maybe,just mayby we can bring on back.
That's why they are Righteous.
This was the most played song on the radio in the 20th century.
I agree with u.The best songs and music was back then,for sure.
The most played song of the 20th century.
I am almost 70 years old and I just love watching the reaction of young people listening to the music that I grew up with. No electronic voice manipulation just a microphone in an audience and raw talent. Take a girl on a date and play this song and see what happens.
That's my favorite thing, seeing that first reaction to Bill Medley's "baby".
Shawn, this song was the most played song of the last century, more than any Beatle, etc.
So happy for you and good for you for exploring new music. You are right, talent has been ignored the music CHANGED because, really, corporations took it over, for $$$, for what would sell. I was 16 when this came over the radio!!!
We need to get back in touch with those tender feelings this song is about--the world would be a better place.
Better in person! More Soul than they can control!
Number 1 song played on the radio in the 20th century. Play this for your lady when you're both in a romantic mood and watch her melt into your arms.
Shawn, Thanks for the great reaction. You were absolutely correct in your feelings about “modern” groups versus the kind of groups back in the 60s, such as Righteous Brothers. Great job! I’m glad I came across your channel. Peace out ✌️
They were the first group to be called "blue-eyed soul" back in the day. They got their name when, playing at a military base, some African-American marines shouted out "man, you sound righteous, brother!". The name stuck. Soul is Soul !!
They were my first concert. In the early 60's in Chicago. The Ramsey Lewis Trio was also on the bill.
Loved your reaction and couldn’t agree more. Pure talent
Chills everytime
Thank you for doing this song
I was 18 when this was released. It was as if they were singing to me, personally.
This kind of talent was the ‘norm’ for us. And trust me, we drank it all in! Love your reaction.
Every time someone reacts to Bill's "Baby!" in the beginning all I can think is "Just wait for Bobby." Bobby's solo live performance of Unchained Melody is a must. You should also check out Bill's solo of I Just Wanna Make Love to You (unfortunately not live). The live version of The Night Time is the Right Time, with girl group The Blossoms, is great.
I like to see the eyebrows go up when they hear Baby, baby.
I Just Wanna Make Love to You is my favorite song of theirs. It's so raw and sexy for that time period. I'm 69 years old and my heart still goes pitter pat! ;D
I'm not the only one that does that after all, lol. I can't wait to see the expression on someone's face when Bobby lets it fly!
Bobby's 1965 solo performance on the Andy Williams show was the best TV singing solo of the 20th Century.
Unchained melody, Soul and Inspiration, Bobby Hatfield Summertime
I so enjoyed as I began being a teen with Elvis and these brothers and for the next 15 yrs I was blown away and always expected this variety and talent. But alas now a days these talents aren't promoted, only the evil one's picks needing tru tone puppets to promote a divisive perverted world. I'm sure that talent is still there.
These guys are contemporaries of Elvis.
You are so right!
Certainly among the Top 10 in pop songs ever. I don't know if this isn't in the Top 3 all time songs. I've listened to this song since it came out in 1964, and I'd estimate I've listened to this

Please listen to their songs (Your My) Soul and Inspiration, Unchained Melody (a solo by Bobby Hatfield. Bill Medly has the deeper voice.
Excellent reaction... so much fun!!😊 I heard these two brothers are the only that can hit every single key on a 88 piano! 😳😃😃😃
The best music has been done, this is Blue Eye Soul, old school music
The most requested song on radio in the 20th century and one of the backing singers is a young lady called Cher.
I dont think any 2 voices ever complimented each others as much as these guys. They were 2 different voices with the same mind.
Blue eyed soul was what they were tagged once it was public they were not black singers which were very popular in the 50-60's. I love seeing youthful reactions like yours. The only music that came close to this era IMO was hip hop. Please do more of the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield is my fave and he did solo's in Unchained Melody, Summertime and My Prayer to name a few. Please check him out if you like his soprano voice.
Growing up un the 60s means we had Motown and all the music it inspired!
This song was the most played song on American radio and television in the 20th century. They were the first group to be given the moniker "blue-eyed soul".

You ain't seen nothin yet. The best is yet to come dude.
The greatest duo ever ,every song they did is absolutely amazing 🇬🇧👍 great reaction .
What a great listener. You took the words out of my mouth, definitely it was paradise to hear music in those days. 👍
I love watching these songs.
I remember watching my Mom and Dad dancing to this song and they even use to dance in the grocery stores when this song would come on in the stores. People use to watch thrm dance til it was done.
I miss them so much.
Dad passed in 2007 and Mom in 2014...
Love your comments and yes the late 50s and early 60s had incredibly talented singers. Checkout Sam Cooke, the Everly Brothers, Ben E King, the Drifters, Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis and many many more.
Shawn...Great Reaction!!
