    As a 70 year old woman of color and multi ethnicities, I think it's too sad that we continue to label music and voices according to color or ethnic group. I loved the Righteous Brothers as much as I loved Black Opera singer Leontyne Price, and Roy Orbison as I loved Smokey Robinson. The BeeGees and The Temptations, Janis Joplin and then again Aretha, Carole King and Martha & the Vandellas or Ronettes. I enjoyed Miriam Makeba and enjoyed Celia Cruz etc. My point is we sing the style we grow up hearing until we are exposed to a style from a different town or part of the country or the world and discover that if we love music we can appreciate it who ever is bringing it to us. Joy is Joy in every color❤

    “Any man who hates another human being because of the color of his skin is hating a part of himself” - Elvis Presley

    • @Undeniably_Me
      @Undeniably_Me 3 ปีที่แล้ว +177

      I, as were many Black ppl, was raised to hate Elvis Presley as a racist song stealing tyrant. It wasn't until VERY recently that I found out that not only was this untrue, but that he spent his career trying to make what he knew to be a racist southern fan base, STOP giving him credit for things he learned from working with and listening to Black artists. He didn't like being called The King of rock and roll, because even he said what he was doing was just an attempt at what Black artists had been doing for years, and stated that no one could do Black music better than Black ppl. He intentionally went to music festivals on the nights reserved for Black ppl, bc he wanted to jam with the Black artists. He adored Black ppl and Black music culture, and wasn't ashamed to admit it. It only took 1 rumored quote to make the Community that fascinated him, turn on him. Someone told us he said "The only thing a negro can do for me is buy my music, and shine my shoes." It was easily confirmed by the venue he was said to be at when giving this interview, and the person he supposedly said it to, that it never happened, and that Elvis was in an entirely different place at the time, and had actually NEVER interviewed with this person or their publication. Unfortunately Elvis never addressed it (I'm assuming he figured it was a baseless rumor and would go away on it's own). For this reason he lost almost all of his Black fan base, as well as respect from the Black music industry. By the time he addressed it, it was too late. The lie had been passed on to children, and grandchildren. We were halted and told not to like Elvis as soon as we discovered him as children. Black hatred for Elvis Presley is a sad and unfortunate trope that has been passed down in the Black community for decades. Hating him is part of Black culture at this point. As a Black woman, I can say that it's unfair to his memory, that his love for our culture has been washed away and buried under a lie, and even worse, is it would be hard if not impossible to ever repair that relationship.

    • @passionfly1
      @passionfly1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      @@Undeniably_Me I find it very believable that an actual racist created this story to give Elvis a bad name because he was promoting a Black culture which seemed very uncultured to certain ignorant people at that time.
      A TRUE racist would have wanted to stop this culture from spreading out and 'infecting' the minds of youth so they concocted a story to stop it. The problem is that attributing this false story to an absolutely amazing artist is akin to the story of Michael Jackson being attributed to being a child molester. I still disbelieve he was one and have seen no proof he was one and will not believe any malicious rumors of another amazing artist who passed before his time.
      Now we can see how both examples work to pollute the truth by creating LIES and disinformation. LIES breed ignorance, distrust, and antipathy. Walking in the truth of the LIGHT of GOD is the only route to salvation. It is better to walk with a light to guide your path than to stumble around in blindness and darkness.
      What pisses me off is how the hell can a person listen to his songs bout LOVE LOVE LOVE all the time and find racism in this person without giving the story a second thought?
      ONE stupid story about Elvis which was false, wipes about all his songs about LOVE? Hundreds of them!
      Has anyone listened to the words of "LOVE ME TENDER" as he sang it? HELLLLLLOOOOO!!!!

      I am 63 years old, I grew up listening to Blues, Jazz, Motown and Blue Eyed Soul. I get a "charge" when I see how some black people are amazed by the full, rich, melodic sound of the Righteous Brothers. After 30 yrs of Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap music, some blacks are experiencing, for the first time, what "real" music sounds like. Music that makes you feel good without the use of foul language, or lyrics that degrade women or lyrics that glorify robbing and killing someone. Music is universal. Whether you are black, white, or purple, there is nothing more invigorating than the awesome and dynamic combination of gospel and R&B, which we called "Blue Eyed Soul"

      @Algo Rhythm Does every "white person dancing" video online express racism? Chinese people eat hamburgers for 1st time? We shouldn't strive to be oversensitive. I remember pointing a friend out in a large crowd and referring to him as the black guy......The old white lady I said it to, seemed so uncomfortable by this......, So to make a point, I started listing his character traits........I asked her how much that helped her find my friend in the crowded room........I then pointed out.......that he was the only black person in the whole group, so my words were very efficient...............(over sensitive)
      All cultures collectively overlap at some point (Picture a Venn Diagram), so most racial stereotypes are just the parts of a Venn where the circles do not overlap. If totally unfounded as a culture trait, then sure, but this portion of the diagram doesn't get labelled as racism.
      See how many clicks "black people eat chitterlings" gets vs "white people try chitlins" Racism isnt implied or inferred. Racism requires prejudiced. Prejudiced; requires statements made outside of reason or evidence. Noticing that 1 culture is less familiar with an artist than another is by definition not even prejudiced....its just an observation.

    "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 73 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. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come.
    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......

      I think it's funny because I never really thought much about the racial identity of any of these groups. They were mostly releasing in an era when there was less of an emphasis on the video as a means of promotion. Sure, it definitely was a thing and it's why there are so many clips of these groups from various TV shows. But, radio was a larger tastemaker than it is now. Even in the '80s that's where I got my taste for a lot of these groups and while there were some that I knew were black, in most cases I had no idea, and didn't particularly care either.

      I am 63 years old, I grew up listening to Blues, Jazz, Motown and Blue Eyed Soul. I get a "charge" when I see how some black people are amazed by the full, rich, melodic sound of the Righteous Brothers. After 30 yrs of Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap music, some blacks are experiencing, for the first time, what "real" music sounds like. Music that makes you feel good without the use of foul language, or lyrics that degrade women or lyrics that glorify robbing and killing someone. Music is universal. Whether you are black, white, or purple, there is nothing more invigorating than the awesome and dynamic combination of gospel and R&B, which we called "Blue Eyed Soul"

We, with late apologies to our many neighbors at the time, had nearly weekly parties during which my friend heightened my enjoyment of The Miracles, Temptations, Four Tops, etc, and all I had in return was to shock him with The Righteous Brothers, which I really don't think he'd ever heard till then. Locally hear in the Bay Area I think all blacks only listened to KSOL, which now is a Spanish language station. Don't know how successful I was getting him to buy into The Doors, etc. but my favorite 8-tracks on my Motorola 4-Channel Surround Sound car tape player included Otis, Aretha, Marvin and many others.

    • @machtnichtsseimann

      I was watching some interview years ago and I think it was Nile Rogers talking about who has Soul and he mentioned Bono as an example. It was the first time I saw/heard any credible Black artist respect any White artist for having "Soul" ( not that it hasn't been mentioned before ). It opened my eyes a bit more, though like you I thought before that Bobby Caldwell is a good example...George Michael...shoot, Michael Stipe...Elvis, of course...and many others across genres like Country, Metal, Opera, Jazz. I had been a fan of Earth, Wind & Fire, James Brown, Isaac Hayes, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The Spinners, but Nile Rogers helped open my eyes a bit more to a deeper concept of "Soul" instead of boxing it in with "skin color".
      Just find good artistry, enjoy their work, thank God for their gift and service.

      Macht Nichts Sei Mann It’s hard to define soul. A genre of music, a quality or depth of feeling, a “coolness” about you. Nile Rogers was a close friend of SRV. I would think Nile would agree Stevie had as much soul as any blues man ever had. (Something his brother Jimmie lacked). Hall and Oates, were a great soul music duo. Bono however, was in a group that played anthem rock and alternative rock in stadiums, very entrepreneurial $-minded, and embodied soul about as much as Nancy Pelosi.
