So so true - listened to this track over and over after coming home from a Northern Soul night. He is amazing. So sad you died that way Bobby - you would be singing this the same way now. You were awesome 🤩 xxx
@@TexasRose50if he’s suffering a cold that’s incredibly impressive, reminds of when Phoebe got sick on friends and had the husky voice and she was upset when she lost it
True 😃. My favorite all-time singer is Elvis Presley and he almost always perfected other singers' songs. However, Elvis' version of "Unchained Melody" will never beat Bobby Hatfield's since he owns it.
@@veramae4098no, his voice isn't high enough to be called countertenor. His high range is soprano. Perhaps just 2nd soprano (I cannot sing as high as a countertenor, but he sings within mo y range, which is 2nd soprano. Much lower.)
Reportedly, he had a cold, too, but his mother and fiance were in the audience, and he didn't want to disappoint them. If you listen closely, you can hear a bit of nasalness in his voice, but still nailed it.
Side note trivia....one of the backup singers on that song (then unknown, but later *very* well known) 17-year-old girl named...Cher. Truthfully, she's talked about it numerous times.
@@tomroome4118 On the song/video the other person mentioned "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", or whatever the title is. Check it out. There are a bunch of women backup singers in the background of the set.
@JadeYildirim-z3. I agree with you completely! This is the way music should be, not the mind- and soul-damaging poison we're being bombarded with today. All it does is bring out anger and hostility. We need LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY. It's a delight to listen to this great performance, it lifts you up every time. All the best to you!
I said it earlier,but what a fantastic score by the band as well. Everyone nailed it that night. That was the first time he sang live with his mom in the audience. That slight bite on his lip at the end was because he knew he absolutely killed it.
What's really impressive is that Bobby didn't sing it in falsetto. He had a pure tenor & hit every note with clarity & power. That single song was a singing lesson. Bobby Hatfield - an amazing singer. RIP.
Bobby is a counter-tenor and tenor voice! He also had a cold at that time, but his mother was in the audience and he wanted to impress her. He doesn't sing the last part quite the same on the album! Others have done this song, before him, but he "OWNS" that song with this impressive performance!! Singing it live, one take, no autotune!! That was real talent and music we heard back then! ♥️🌹🇨🇦🌹♥️
@@JB-un2iv - That's not what vocal teachers have said. You don't fully understand the differences between a pure tenor & falsetto -- and not many do. But "falsetto" is defined in the very word -- it's a false voice. There's not even a real range of tone. Anyone can create a falsetto voice even a non-singer. Bobby Hatfield didn't have a false voice. He had an unprecedented range. Like Roy Orbison. This is the reason many are impressed with his version of "Unchained Melody." Now Prince has used a falsetto in his songs ("Kiss") & probably couldn't sing "Unchained Melody," as effectively as Hatfield.
One of the greatest live vocal performances in television history…no auto-tune or gimmicks…just a fantastic song and superb arrangement by Bobby and immense vocal talent [a gifted Countertenor]…it’s even better than the superb studio/record version. The Righteous Brothers pioneered what came to be called “Blue-eyed Soul”
and the fascinating thing is, we thought this was the way it was. No big deal. I guess you had to grow up with music like this to appreciate the casualness of how we accepted these performances.
This is the time when stars were born, not made. The music is completely real and lovely. They would sing live with no lip syncing or computerized enhancements.
These 60s singers sang from their souls. All of them were so talented back then. Black, White and everything in-between sang those songs with heart and soul. We should all listen to more of it! Thanks for doing this reaction video!
@mommasstone2111. Hello, dear friend. I'm 72 & I don't think it matters what age we are, this song is so beautiful and performed perfectly by Bobby Hatfield that it's timeless. This is what real music and talent are all about and they reach across time, space, nations, right into our hearts.
He was a nervous wreck singing this as his parents were in the audience and he had never sang in front of them. Amazing, amazing talent. No auto tune, no faking. Just pure talent.
Bobby was NOT a nervous wreck. He had a headcold and of course had a bit of nerves. His Mother was in the audience and she had seen him sing before just not on the nationwide,very popular Andy Williams show. A big deal in 1965. It was an incredible performance and will live into the future another 59 years as long as music lives.
@@CjJohnson-kf1oz I don't dispute anything you said about Bobby Hatfield's incredible performance. But he suffered from serious stage fright all his life, which sadly led him into drugs to cope. You can hear the quavering in his voice as he spoke here, and in the first line of the song. But when the audience applauded he settled right down, and soared the rest of the way as only he could.
Still to this day can not believe someone could have a voice that pure, and with that much range without a single bit of help from any kind of technology...No one will ever do this song better than Bobby did...give em all the autotone/pitch correction and filters and software you want, and they still won't come close to how Bobby sang it live...the man had the voice of an angel and he was gone way too soon.
I was a young married when this song was popular. Every time I hear this song I think of the young men who were serving in Vietnam. Many were wondering if their girl would wait for them. There were some women who did mot-the guys on the battlefield got “Dear John” letters. I waited for my man and I am so glad that I did. We just celebrated 59 wonderful years of marriage.
@sassygrammy1258. Dear lady, I'm so delighted for you and your hubby! Happy 59 years together. Keep on loving each other and listening to this wonderful song. Bless you both!
We absolutely gave our hearts to Bobby Hatfield singing Unchained Melody…we recognized it with the first 3 notes on the radio and dropped everything to listen to it one more time….this was the music the boomers grew up with. I was 14 y.o. and now almost 74 y.o. 50 years later, still absolutely love it. Bobby owns this song and no one else comes close. Heart, soul, and incredible vocals..at age 25. Loved your genuine reactions to this beautiful music…thank you.
@@maryrenaud6732 Agree that Bobby owns the song, but give a listen to “Harrison Craig sings Unchained Melody” He was 18, and a chronic stutterer while speaking. Abandoned by his father when much younger. Him and his brother raised by their mother. Two beautiful boys. Harrison won the Voice that year.
the song is absolute! could a new remake with some more bass make it better? Just a more full back round sound? Don't have to touch the vocals at all. Love the profile pic!!
@@adamplona9438 They are called the Righteous BROTHERS. You should try "you've lost that loving feeling" Its another great song...with the other singer! I'm sure you'll like it.
Quite simply one of the best songs ever sung his vocal range is incredible this song next year will be 60 and it still sounds as brilliant today in 2024 if you agree let me know😮
The real story of how they got their name is charming: They sang in a club in El Toro near Long Beach where many black marines came to hear them. Back then if blacks liked something, the slang term was RIGHTEOUS...and of course, if they liked a man, they called him BROTHER. So they sang BLUES fantastically, and these marines yelled out, "That's RIGHTEOUS, BROTHERS!" And that's how they got their very "black" sounding name which went with their very "black" sound.

This was recorded by 670 singers world wide including Elvis. It will always belong to Bobby. They were known as Blue Eyed Soul and trust me every colour woman was in love with these two. Hear them together and if you listened to them them finish talking which was less than another minute. You would know them better.
He actually had a sore throat at the time and was really nervous as his mother was in the front row watching him perform for the first time. Pure talent.
OK, JayT... In the sixties, this was THE song at our teen dances. It was a 'Ladies Choice' and the girls would hold you so tight. No A/C in those days and I can still taste the girls' hair spray. In later years it became an anthem in Nam about bein' away from home and wonderin' if our girl was still our girl. You'd hear this comin' from a hootch at night and it would bring tears. Welcome Home Brothers.
What's even more insane about this particular performance besides his vocals... he was sick with a cold and was extremely nervous because his mother was in the audience watching him for the first time live. This song is timeless and hopefully will be played for generations to come. ❤
Bobby had a cold while singing this live but his parents were in the audience and he did his best for his mother. Great success! Best live performance in history in my opinion.
When Bobby left using 2003,he left us a small trea sure trove of recordings and some truly great videos like Summertime and Somewhere and Bring it on home to me (on this he actually had Bill smiling). Bobby had it all; an incredible entertainer with humility and more charm than Cary Grant.
Yes, it has just been harmonized and all by ear, no electronics, no software that puts the voice back into the tonality, all old-fashioned, no headset, just PURE TALENT.
Actually a soloist can’t harmonize with himself live as it is impossible to sing more than 1 note at the same time. When Bill sings with him, then they are harmonizing together.
We, in the '60s and '70s called this "Blue Eyed Soul", live, no autotune, and it's rumored that his mom was in the audience. This song was made popular when the film "Ghost" was popular. Beautiful, isn't it?
OMG, the late Bobby Hatfield singing this beautiful song. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show. No one ever sung this like he did. He owns this song. No auto tunes, just pure raw talent. He owns this song, and no one sang it like he did. RIP Bobby! We miss hearing your beautiful voice. ❤❤❤
These WERE the days when singers were ACTUALLY singers. Instead of all this SCREAMING out your lungs and calling it singing. Before all the audio adjustments are made in the recording studio. KAREN CARPENTER is definitely THE BEST FEMALE VOLCALS of her time. The absolute clarity and range is still not matched today.... WITH NO YELLING OR SCREAMING she still gets it done. I have to say...... its FANTASTIC that you are taking the time to put these type of talents back into the light where it belongs... THANK YOU!!!!!!
I get what you are saying as a lot of modern artists use editing/auto tune to make things sound better. But come on... There are still plenty of great singers out there that do it well live
Bobby was not only performing live, on national television, with no auto-tune... he was also performing in front of his own mother, who was in the studio audience.
I can still see my parents dancing to this when they got married in 1989. My dad died in 2020, God rest his soul, shortly after their 31st anniversary (35 yrs total together). My mom still tears up every time she hears it.
Remember, that was recorded in the mid 1960's with none of the modern day auto enhancers etc...etc... that was pure voice talent. Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest male singing voices of all time.
The very best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have listen how they got the name . Black u.s military soldiers used to frequent their shows and followed them around to different clubs . And at the end of the shows one of the soldiers said That was righteous ! Boom Righteous bros
Most clubs were segregated then, so they could only follow them to Black clubs.
14 years old when that came out, it was a beautiful world back then

4 octave range, no autotune or anything electronic. Just pure, beautiful music.
counter tenor

Yes he did. With no autotune. This is why we old folks can't stand a lot of today's music.

It was absolutely magnificent 👌 this could not have been more beautiful. This song was sung🎉🎉❤❤😂😂😂😂 so 👍 perfecto.
Epic and timeless
Thank you for showcasing a true vocal singer.
Best ever reaction to this song
OMG, the late Bobby Hatfield singing this beautiful song. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show. No one ever sung this like he did. He owns this song. No auto tunes, just pure raw talent. He owns this song, and no one sang it like he did. RIP Bobby! We miss hearing your beautiful voice. ❤❤❤
These WERE the days when singers were ACTUALLY singers. Instead of all this SCREAMING out your lungs and calling it singing. Before all the audio adjustments are made in the recording studio. KAREN CARPENTER is definitely THE BEST FEMALE VOLCALS of her time. The absolute clarity and range is still not matched today.... WITH NO YELLING OR SCREAMING she still gets it done. I have to say...... its FANTASTIC that you are taking the time to put these type of talents back into the light where it belongs... THANK YOU!!!!!!
i just LOVE listening to Karen!
In 1980, Karen did a medley duet with the legend that is Ella Fitzgerald... pure brilliance.

I get what you are saying as a lot of modern artists use editing/auto tune to make things sound better. But come on... There are still plenty of great singers out there that do it well live
When i hear that song it still moves me to tears.
Hello Leona ,How are you doing?
His mother was in the audience. First time she saw him live 😊
Righteous Brothers …AWESOME vocals..both passed now, so great,,,our generation will always remember them
Young man, welcome to the era of "Blue Eyed Soul"! Enjoy the music of my youth.....Welcome Aboard!!
The Righteous Brothers. Called blue eye soul. Yes they are soulful.
Bobby was not only performing live, on national television, with no auto-tune... he was also performing in front of his own mother, who was in the studio audience.
That song is one of the most beautiful songs ever
PURE TALENT 🎙🎶 ...NO Voice Overs
FACTS!! 💯
@@JayTDeionto all yall of fellas play this song every time you have a fight with your partner I bet some baby,s will be made
I can still see my parents dancing to this when they got married in 1989. My dad died in 2020, God rest his soul, shortly after their 31st anniversary (35 yrs total together). My mom still tears up every time she hears it.
Remember, that was recorded in the mid 1960's with none of the modern day auto enhancers etc...etc... that was pure voice talent. Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest male singing voices of all time.
Righteous Brothers were truly amazing.
How is this beauty possible with just one guy plus microphone? Pure perfection Bobby. 😍❤
And one very small microphone 🎤 at that !
