Yes he did. With no autotune. This is why we old folks can't stand a lot of today's music.
TrueStory.
Bingo
When you grew up on home-canned Sockeye salmon on homemade bread and now somebody offers you a slice of Wonder Bread with aerosol cheese....
all natural God given talent, this song still makes me cry
So true, I get such a kick out of watching young reactions.
😂❤
When people say modern music sucks, this is what they are comparing it to.
Damm Right✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
The Righteous Brothers where the term blue eyed soul came from. This was Bobby Hatfield gone way to soon.
OKkk🎉🎉🎉

Miss his voice
Yeah, and then they listen to the worst examples, and ignore the ones that can hold a candle to the old stuff.
No one will ever sing this song as beautifully as Bobby Hatfield.
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.
Have you heard Home Free’s version of this? I recommend it.
I’m nearly 70, and that song still gives me goosebumps. Pure gold.
My mother is 73 and this is her favorit song.
@@corneliusantonius3108 If I recall correctly, Elvis also sang this song… but this version is the best.
@@CrochetIsLife54 Elvis was a master coverer
Age 66 here and still get goosebumps ❤
I'm 73 and I still get tears.
Pure tallent. Live, no retakes, no autotune. Best rendition of this song ever!
And it has been said he was suffering from a cold.
Always thought this was the best rendition, no other version compares I
and it is live, no do overs!
Your reaction was great! Love this song as well.😊
@@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
That's one of the best live performances of all time.
Absolutely
4 octave range, no autotune or anything electronic. Just pure, beautiful music.
counter tenor
I'm 76 years old and I still love that song😊
@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.
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.
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.
Thank the good Lord we were there to hear this and others!!!
Thinking of all the Viet Nam solders and their girlfriends who listened to this.
Yes, I was on of those girls😊
NO COMPUTERS... NO SYNTHESIZERS...NO LIP-SYNCING... PURE TALENT AND PURE LIVE VOICE!!!!
!
Harmonized that thing, held that note, and no Auto-tune. Classically beautiful. And his actual voice. Range is amazing. Such a talent.
A romantic song. Not a derogatory or demeaning word toward anyone. We need more songs like this.
It gives me goosebumps every time I hear this!
I love your reactions.I'm 75 and still love hearing this.Thank you
One of the very few singers that can hit 6 octaves.... and he did it with no auto tune, no studio, live.
W dzisiejszych czasach jest taki anioł o zakresie ponad 7 oktaw. Proszę zobaczyć Dimash Qudaibergen ❤❤❤❤ przepiękny głos, mega utalentowany młody chłopak ❤❤❤
60 years later I still get chills from that voice. Man sang like an angel.
This is pure unadulterated talent there is no fixing it in The sound room this was talent this is what our people now
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.
@@danieldickson8591 you are correct. I over reacted I guess. Can't even recall what may have pushed my button,other than being a cranky old lady.
How do you know that stage fright led him into drugs?
He had a cold too, and wasn't at his best.
So glad I grew up with this music. Thanks for going back in time, the world could use this right about now. We used to love each other.
True
there are countless numbers of us that are here on this planet as a direct result of this song...
So funny. So true.
Yes lol my oldest is here because of this song lol
LOL!!! No doubt.
🤣🤣🤣 true dat!
Favorite comment EVER! 👏👏👏
Pure talent no computers no mixing live performance jusy music a mic an a God given voice
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😮
Totally
@@Brenda-fp5tethanks
That, youngsters, is called pure talent.
No auto tune. Live. No gimmicks, just pure talent.
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.
No retakes, either.
Still live u Bobby after all these yrs❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is what you call pure talent. An amazing voice and may he rest in peace.
Grandma and Grandpa stayed together for a reason, they understood romance. TY for the awesome reaction!
Righteous Brothers …AWESOME vocals..both passed now, so great,,,our generation will always remember them
A voice for the ages....
he sings in heaven with the angels now....R.I.P. Bobby!
So right. I'm not sure where we go but the house band is going to be amazing.
Serious goosebumps -- that is Blue-Eyed Soul!
Quite simply one of the greatest performances of anyone anytime or anywhere.
I agree 💯
Bro. 🥱
AGREED. No auto tune,just straight good ole singing.
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.
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.
So effortless too. Every live performance he is perfect.
I chuckled to myself when you said take it up because I knew what was coming.
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.
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing
People like you are the reason I still have faith in Humanity. Thank you 😊
@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!
This happened weekly in the 60s. When the artists were live, God was listening.
Everytime I hear this, I remember why and how much I love my husband of 47 years...
❗️JUST AN EVERLASTING SONG❗️
I just love to see younger peoples reaction to possibly the best song that has ever been sung.
Remember this was LIVE TV back in 1965. RIP Bobby.
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!
Yes,they should. Everything from the crooners thru Motown
U should do “You’ve lost that loving feeling” both bros sing in that one…Blue eyed soul, this was live and unedited….crazy how good they were!!!!
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.
@@ChronicExcessiveManliness what backup?
@@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.
@@tomroome4118 The video of 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling'......it's all over YT
@@StrawberryCopper my bad, I thought he was talking about "Unchained Melody".
Most women can't hit the high notes that he did. He was incredible!
Theyve tried, but no one could come close to covering his song.
I use to not these days at 65. I'm kinda shot smoked to much chit
The Righteous Brothers were The Pinnacle of Blue-eyed soul
They started it -- the phrase was created for them. 🎵
😂
Greatest performance in history !
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. ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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. ❤
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.
Hello Mary 😊 ,How are you doing?
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
The perfect singing performance.
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.
I cried when first listening to this
I was 7 when I first heard this and it made me cry and it still does 60 years later. RIP Bobby❤️
Well,this is music...pure nice talent..no angry,no bad words,no screaming,no hate,no ugly sex,no war, no satanic shit. Just nice pure lovesong..❤
@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!
Oh! That stanky look on your face at the very end of this clip when Bobby hit those high notes was PERFECT! (It do send chills, don't it?)
one of the best damned songs ever recorded in my humble opinion.
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.
Agreed!
Agreed
Yours and about 50 million others, give or take
I love the smile on his face after he hits that final high note. “Nailed it!!”
Nothing to compare this with.
Ever.
Quality.
Not the first version of this song, but the best. Bobby owns this song and always will.........
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.
How is this beauty possible with just one guy plus microphone? Pure perfection Bobby. 😍❤
And one very small microphone 🎤 at that !
Bobby Hatfield...man, just unbelievable vocals!! ... and this was LIVE! Nobody sings it like that!!
Thanks,,, thank you,,,, and good on you,, for playing this,,🤗👍☝️,, God's blessings on you and those that helped you..
AND he wasnt well that night he had a bad cold, pure talent
It’s great to see a new generation appreciate how good music was. Not auto tune, no multi takes just pure talent.
the greatest live vocal ever.
Totally agree
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.
Bobby dedicated it to you.
Thank you for your service, sir ❤️
Salute to you Brave Soldier!
@@AmyErffmeyer-ld1uh Wasn't as much bravery as it was survival but Thank You.
Glad to see a whole new generation treating themselves. Timeless.
Bobby takes his time with this song. Every woman on the planet gets it. Go back and listen to banter they do before the song.
14 years old when that came out, it was a beautiful world back then
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.
Thank you for a 99.99% accurate telling of the tale. You are the one closest to the truth as told by Bill Medley .
One of the best duo's ever. I saw them live several times. This has got to be
one of my favorite songs. He killed it.
Simply the best, better than all the rest.
Pure. Unadulterated. Talent.
Hello Karen 🎉 ,How are you doing?
Blue Eyed Soul at it's finest. Bobby was nervous because his Mom was in the audience.
Loved watching this true legend thru your eyes for the first time.They don't make them like Bobby Hatfield anymore!
TALENT!!! what most singers of today are missing!!!
TOTALLY AGREE 💯

I love watching first reactions to Bobby singing this song, he surprises everyone! No one could ever equal his rendition.
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?
That is why he bit his lip at the end
never heard a better performance than that. Just absolutely killed that song. WOW!
Loved the song; loved his reaction even more.
Definition of KILLING IT!
This is why parents need to teach their kids about music...these reactions to this are priceless....I am grateful for the fact that I was raised by my grandparents....I was listening to music that they grew up on and had an appreciation for beautiful music
Oh how i loved this man singing this song, real natural talent, no autotune no gimmicks just pure.
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.
His mother was in the audience. First time she saw him live 😊
I believe between the two of them, they could cover the full range of a piano. These gentlemen were incredible
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.
Im a 64 year old lady who loves that song and loves your video and your reactions. You are awesome to watch!
A real singer!!! Pure vocals!
Pure incredible talent on display here, live take, no autotune.
The best version in my opinion.
I love watching young people reacting to music from my era...... we did it gooood 😊
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.
My husband is a musician and the way Bobby did it is definitely harmonizing
@@DianeAccettullo-yr1ht One voice cannot harmonize alone.
@@Ididnotwanttojoin Bobby is harmonizing by the way he by the way he follows his notes.
Are
Thank you for showcasing a true vocal singer.
I'm 67 and believe me that song and voice are on a whole different level. You literally have to be dead inside not to be moved by this song
Still sends a shiver down my spine. That's when music was music!!
I was born in 1953 so imagine the music I grew up with it was fantastic thru the years and I listened to it all
Live audience. No pressure at all! Dude steps up and knocks it right out of the park.
That is one of my favorite songs. The Rightous Brothers were amazing. I get chills hearing this song.
