What's even more amazing is that these guys are singing this song live. And sound that good. Timeless music from a time that fewer and fewer of us can remember firsthand.
Great reaction. I used to dance to this in Philadelphia. Their voices blend so beautifully. Bill Medley is the tall one. He is still alive. Bobby Hatfield is the the other one, he is deceased.
I am probably three times his age and I will never get enough righteous brothers . It's to bad they have sang their last song but these songs will be around for a long time . I think "unchained melody" was probably their best release . A 1955 little known movie song to one of the greatest songs of all time thanks to the righteous brothers .
Your reaction is how they got their name. They played a USO show for an integrated Army audience and a soldier hollered out 'You are righteous brothers" and they took the name. They aren't actually related but their voices complement each other perfectly.
No autotune or that bullshit just dudes thet could actually sing . This garbage today will not be here in 5 years much less 60 years . I think this was about 1965
After all these years, I still get chills when I hear this song ❤️ 💚 💙 💜 Couple Fun Facts: They got their name from some black marines who saw them perform as the “Paramours” in 1963. They shouted, “that was righteous brothers!”, Sonny and Cher were part of the backing vocals, & last but not least, heir manager booked them into a black nightclub in Watts, California before they got big, & the patrons of the club started throwing things at them on stage when they saw they were white, & The Righteous Brothers didn't know what to do, so they just started singing, & all the patrons sat down with their mouths open, & wouldn't let them leave after that, & the term, Blue Eyed Soul, was introduced 😃 👓 👓 😃
Your life has just been massively enriched by the human voice actually becoming an instrument. The Righteous Brothers exemplify the very best in singing from the soul. So glad that another generation is discovering great music from generations that came before them. These guys are just amazing. Keep searching. There are more musical surprises to be discovered. Peace.
They were inducted into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2003.Unfortunitely Bobby Hatfield passed away a few months after but Bill Melody is still singing and performing today and doing concerts.
Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)
I grew up listening to them, but I always thought this song came out maybe in the late 70s or early 80s until I started watching reactions to them and learned that this is from the early 60s. My mom was still a toddler when this song came out! Their music is timeless, and the talent they brought to the music industry is rare indeed.
I have watched almost every reaction to this song, and yours is probably my favorite now. Such a great reaction video! This is one of my favorite songs. I like the way you analyzed many parts of the song, breaking it down, and sharing your thoughts. And you keep it light and fun. You are right, their 2 voices work so well together on this, one low and one high, trading off. I had a great time watching
This is the 1st time I had an actual conversation with a reactor. When you said "Did you hear that? ... I answered "of course we did, we recommended the song!" Then you said something about their voices & I answered ... "just wait until you hear what's coming next!" 😃🤣😃🤣
Interesting story...when they were starting out they had a different name. They finally got a gig at a primarily black lounge. The crowd did not want a couple of white guys singing in the club. When they started singing, the crowd loved them. Someone told them that they were some righteous brothers, so they changed their name.
Kim, I beard it was a black waiter at the club. He said something like, y'all are righteous brothers. And that's when that name stuck. Anyway, that's the story I heard.
@@TexasRose50 It was actually a group of black marine's from the El Toro Marine Base in California. Bill Medley said at the end of their performance, a black U.S. Marine in the audience would shout, "That was righteous, brothers!", and would greet them with "Hey righteous brothers, how you doin'?" on meeting them. This is a citation from his memoir.
Oh, forgot, this was not a lounge. they sang for marines and guys that they sang to kept yellin, "All right Righteous Brothers." So, that is how they got their named changed to The Righteous brothers. you can read up on it with Bill Medley on you tube. He is now playing with some guy in Vegas called Bucky.It was so sad when Bobby Hatfield passed away.
When you were bowing and saying how much you loved the raspy voice I was thinking "just wait Doc you ain't heard nothing yet" referring to the part when they got up on the middle stage and let it loose
Bill Medley still alive. Bobby Hatfield has passed.Sheer greatness from these 2 gentlemen. Who - back in the day didn t know this music and the RB well? They were tremendous for a long time.Your joy is no different than was ours then. So nice to see new crop of listeners enjoying the old legends.😀
I grew up on this and other great music. People actually sang and played instruments. No autotune, synthesizers, etc. I have been to a Righteous Brothers concert and they were as good live as they were recorded. No difference. Same with other greats like Roy Orbison.
Hey, don't knock synthesizers, they were around in the 60's as well, and are legitimate instruments. Rip on autotune all you want, though... that shit's garbage.
This is--as far as I can recall--the only song that I never, EVER get tired of hearing. I bought it on 45 when it first came out, and pretty much wore it out. Then I bought another one. Wore that one out, too. I think Phil Spector sent his kids through college just on the money I spent on Righteous Brothers records. The thing that really strikes me about this particular song is that i honestly don't know anyone who wasn't completely bowled over by it the first time they hard it. There are some songs that, when you first hear them, you think, "That's' not too bad", and the more times you hear it, the more you start to like it. Then after a while you start to get a little tired of it. and eventually you forget about it and go on to something new. But this song just plain knocks you on your ass from the get-go--like it did to you--and from then on you NEVER tire of it. It's almost like it burrows its way into your brain, and you just can't get it out. And you don't want to, anyway.
Released in 1965, and produced by the genius record executive and producer, Phil Specter. It went #1 worldwide in less than one week. The Righteous Bros went on to a spectacular recording career that spanned almost 50 years.
Phil Specter and the wall of sound. This was done in one take in the studio, in mono. Blue eyed soul at it's very best. If you can find it try the Phil Specter produced River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner.
Thanks Marilyn, I'd forgotten what songs Phil did that for. It really is a tribute to Phil that he was a great producer. Just a great technique and style. Cher said she MIGHT have been in the background.
I hope whenever you hear some young person not giving old music a chance, just because it's "old", you're going to set the record straight. Preach to your fellow young'uns. Old doesn't mean bad.
there is no old music, we are listen to Mozart and Beethoven and personally i only listen to music until the 90s because i just dont like most of the stuff released after the 90s. Music is not like fashion or a trend like skinny jeans or whatever. Its more like food, you eat what you like the most. Its like when people say uww spaghetti is old food
I love the contrast between between the raspy "baby" moments and the tenderness of the "Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you". Throw in the richness of the rest of his singing and the falsetto coming in, there's nothing you could do to this song to make it any better than it is.
Bill Medley is still alive. My favorite is I’ve Had the Time of my Life from the movie Dirty Dancing. I can’t listen to it over & over & over again......👍🏼👍🏼😁
I am so glad that you enjoyed one of my favorite records from when I was growing up. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys said that it was the best record he ever heard. The Righteous Brothers were amazing singers, but what can get lost is the music that supported them. This record was produced by Phil Spector, and his "Wall of Sound" technique was very prominent, but it did not overpower the singers. As a person, Phil Spector is absolutely bat-crap crazy, but he was the most amazing producer in the recording business. Check out a few songs by The Crystals produced by Spector, one of the best being "Then He Kissed Me". "Da Doo Ron Ron" is another great song by the Crystals. The Ronettes was another group that Spector produced. One of their biggest hits was "Be My Baby". Check these records out, and listen to the music. I think that they are amazing.
How this song/video received 37 dislikes is beyond me... The Righteous Brothers are amazing. It's cliché I know, but they don't make em like this anymore.
Recorded in 1964. Bill Medley sang most of the song is alive, 82 and still performs. Bobby Hatfield who did those high notes died in 2003. Great, great song. One of best without all the fans ways now to record. Just sang song with some backup. 9:16
It is so nice in the day and age of total divisiveness to watch a young Black man appreciating the music of my generation and "Blue Eyed Soul." In addition, I realized I had the chance back in the 70's to approach Bobbie Hatfield, (the 'high' part falsetto) who was playing the slots in Vegas and just tell him he had my Mother's maiden name for a last name. Then I thought better of it, and made the decision to just leave him alone. Now I wished I had just talked to him even if he just brushed me off. Amazing one of the best Duos ever. Bill Medly is still alive. I am now going to watch to see your reaction to "unchained melody," can't wait.
You're right. Today and even in the future will acknowledge 20th century as the renascence of Music. The problem with today's music in the 21st century is we have too many artist with inflated ego. Their persona is more important than their song.
I have seen this video many times now, I just like your reaction so much ! Music is emotion and your reaction to this great song is.....well just great. Salute to you!!
Doc Rich, you have a great music ear and you rewound the song in the perfect spot each time. Your reactions were flawless and enjoyed your commentary. Keep it going!
This song had a resurgence in 1986 when Top Gun came out. A very famous scene was this song..... " she's lost that lovin' feeling" "no Mav, she hasn't" "yes she has"....
Bobby Spector wrote this song about his father who passed away. He put on his tomb stone .......TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM........I was in senior year of H.S. When this came out and it was played at all the dances we attended. Great slow dancing. Please play to know him.
Love your reaction! It looked genuine. I did not know it was the most played song in the 20th century. Thanks for passing that along. I was 15 when that was film....1965. Good memories!!! :)
White Christmas is actually the most played song ever. But they don't count it. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Loved the video man. You just earned a new subscriber.
Bobby Hatfield died in 2003, age 63. He was found by his singing partner Bill Medley dead in a hotel room from a heart attack brought on by cocaine use. His heart wasn't in great shape, but cocaine is deadly especially if someone already has heart disease. Stay away from drugs, people! Gone too soon. This song still makes me cry.
The reactions when they find out they're white is just hilarious. And it is O K !!! Just glad y'all don't think we all sound like Coldplay lmao :) Great video man. Stay safe.
New to you. Christmas surprise for me! Nice reaction, and I hope you keep them coming. I am only 1 of their legion of fanatical fans. They were great, they were RIGHTEOUS, "Bue-eyed soul" was a specific reference to them, and by the way they were only soul brothers, not biological ones. There are many of their songs on TH-cam, my personal favorite was UNCHAINED MELODY, 1965, live solo performance by Bobby (the tenor), and I hope you treat yourself and us with your reaction. Easy to spot - Bobby is blonde, young (25) and wearing a pink sport jacket. Recorded by something like 670 people around the world, well known, like Elvis, but no one ever came close to Bobby. Consensus is that this is Bobby"s song, and I agree! I believe, but I'm not sure, that I read that "Unchained Melody was the most recorded song ever, and also that it got the most air time.Happy Holidays Doc!
They are sooo good, I've often wondered if they are the white Jackson family. You just have to think how much practice did they go through together. Melodies, harmonies sound PERFECT.
I love that you read up on them before the video 💖 I grew up in Metro Detroit, so I was raised on Motown. Even my little mind was blown when I found out at the age of like 7 that they were white dudes. This song is definitely a GOAT. Gives me ALL the feels every time
THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF !!!
PREFORMED ONLY WITH GOD GIVEN TALENT !!!
I'm old, and the music from the 60-80's will never be repeated.
The greatest duo of all time, the legendary Righteous Brothers!
What's even more amazing is that these guys are singing this song live. And sound that good. Timeless music from a time that fewer and fewer of us can remember firsthand.
I love how the other brother is just sitting there chillin with his elbow on his knee. What was smooth all by itself 😍
I think he’s acting the part of having lost that loving feeling
I still get goosebumps when Bobby Hatfield hits the high notes.One of greatest songs ever written.
I'm more than twice your age, and remember when the song came out. But your reaction makes me remember what I FELT when it came out. Keep it up!
Exactly! You took the words right out of mouth! 😁
I have seen alot of reaction vids..this one..Priceless....lol
Great reaction. I used to dance to this in Philadelphia. Their voices blend so beautifully. Bill Medley is the tall one. He is still alive. Bobby Hatfield is the the other one, he is deceased.

Got that right!
Yeah, that. word, Word, WORD.
This is 1964 year
I do get what you're saying, but they were lip sinking here, and they were heavily "produced". That Phil Spector "wall of sound" is so identifiable.

Those 63 "dislikers" lost that loving feeling.....
I hate it when she does that. lol
Lol
Make that 13 idiots
They've lost their minds.
They can't feel. That's actually sad.... Poor bastards.
They were inducted into the ROCK and ROLL HALL OF FAME in 2003.Unfortunitely Bobby Hatfield passed away a few months after but Bill Melody is still singing and performing today and doing concerts.
No one can duet like these two guys before or since. No one.

I've been listening to techno since I was 12 but Unchained Melody is one of my all-time favs. It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

That doesn’t include TH-cam, iTunes, Spotify or any streaming options. LIVE!! Pure talent

Desirae Tafolla I was thinking the same thing😌
I was thinking something like: "They're just getting WARMED UP!!!"
I really enjoy listening to you and you made my day
“You’re My Soul And My Inspiration “ by them is good too.
Pure talent and no auto tune
GREAT REACTION Doc!!!! You right Doc....that love is coming back!!!
Bill Medley still alive. Bobby Hatfield has passed.Sheer greatness from these 2 gentlemen. Who - back in the day didn t know this music and the RB well? They were tremendous for a long time.Your joy is no different than was ours then. So nice to see new crop of listeners enjoying the old legends.😀

Bobby actually had alot of stage fright..it took big balls for him to get up and sing..
Bobby died..but not before they got into the rock and roll hof
Bobby's story is so sad. Him still being alive when inducted into the HoF was the only thing that made me feel a little better when he died

The Righteous Brothers are true blue soul; pure talent; this classic music can't be touched tdy; no other artists could touch this
Bill Medley is still living. Bobby Hatfield, the blonde passed a few years ago. There will never be another.
The best duo of all time
Bill Medley, the one one the right is alive and still sings. Bobby Hatfield, the one on the left, died in 2003.
😢
Poor Bobby
Seattle Wa Bill also sang “Time of my Life” from the movie Dirty Dancing. Most people don’t realize that.
Doc - this is one of the few PERFECT songs I have ever heard - even Phil Spector, who produced this masterpiece, could find NO criticism.
This is undoubtedly one of the best reactions I've ever seen! LOVED IT!
living proof that everybody has got SOUL!!!
I believe the term "blue eyed soul" was invented for them...
“She’s lost that loving feeling” Top Gun! Ultimate wingman song!!!
This song is synonymous with Top Gun ... and now I'm depressed thinking of Goose
ThC PhD me too!
GHOST got Unchained Melody
Phil Specter and the wall of sound. This was done in one take in the studio, in mono. Blue eyed soul at it's very best.

You will be just as floored by them singing Unchained Melody❣️
Perfection ! No other words needed ❤️
Blue eyed brothers of soul... I like it man...those cats were righteous baby!
From 1964 I believe.... one of the greatest vocal performances in mainstream 20th century music
❤❤😊😊grew up with the the righteous brothers. They made my teenage years a blast! Just love 'em!!❤❤❤😊😊
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your reaction Doc Rich!!!
Bill Midley with the deep voice still sings with his daughter, but sadly, Bobby Hatfield, the one with the high voice has passed.
One of the greatest songs ever written and the best duo of all time!
Soul and Inspiration

The year was 1964 when this song came out. It's definitely one of the greatest songs ever. I so wish I could've grew up in those days.
Watched this over and over again just for your reaction you are awsome.
You're right. Today and even in the future will acknowledge 20th century as the renascence of Music. The problem with today's music in the 21st century is we have too many artist with inflated ego. Their persona is more important than their song.
I love seeing these young people experiencing for the first time our music who just really love good music
Haha I love how Bobby typically gets underestimated (in these types of videos) until the last few seconds of the song where he just lets it rip 😂
yes but he shines at unchained melody which is probably even more famous.
I have seen this video many times now, I just like your reaction so much ! Music is emotion and your reaction to this great song is.....well just great. Salute to you!!
Bobby Hatfield (the blonde) died about 15 yrs ago. Bill Medley is alive and currently performs with another partner.
This is what real music sounds like ❤️
Their entire catalogue is great!
Thanks for that. It was always amazing to hear them, lots of soul there! 👍
Thanks for your reaction....it was a joy to watch. Hoping your and your family are well. Peace.
Unchained Melody is a perfect song by the Righteous Brothers featuring Bobby Hatfield.
Doc Rich, you have a great music ear and you rewound the song in the perfect spot each time. Your reactions were flawless and enjoyed your commentary. Keep it going!
Brings back memories of my youth.
This song had a resurgence in 1986 when Top Gun came out. A very famous scene was this song..... " she's lost that lovin' feeling" "no Mav, she hasn't" "yes she has"....
Love your reaction- old time music with no add on - pure talent- is amazing 💕💕👍 so emotional in their songs. Wide range in vocals going on there. ❤️
You're doin' the damn thang man! Damn it, made me smile and subscribe.
Bobby Spector wrote this song about his father who passed away. He put on his tomb stone .......TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM........I was in senior year of H.S. When this came out and it was played at all the dances we attended. Great slow dancing. Please play to know him.
I believe the kast hit that Bill Medley had was with Jennifer Warnes with "Time of my life" from the movie dirty dancing
Oh... didn't know it was him! Thanks. 🎄
Many people don't realize that Raspy guy, Bill Medley, sang the theme to the movie Dirty Dancing,& that he did much more spanning Decades!!!
Love your reaction! It looked genuine. I did not know it was the most played song in the 20th century. Thanks for passing that along. I was 15 when that was film....1965. Good memories!!! :)
I was just waiting for your reaction when Bobby went into his gospel wailll. Thanks for listening to this.
Your reaction to the "Blue-eyed Soul" put a smile on my face.....
White Christmas is actually the most played song ever. But they don't count it.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Loved the video man. You just earned a new subscriber.

Music unites everyone. Regardless of language or looks or race or sexuality, across all cultures, music is a universally uniting art.
Timeless, growing up in the sixties this song will always be apart of my life, remember it well
This song is one of my all time favorites!
“Panties drop!” 😆😂🤣
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED your soulful reactions! They are incredibly soulful FIRE, right???!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am 70 years old and I remember when this song came out
The reactions when they find out they're white is just hilarious. And it is O K !!!
Just glad y'all don't think we all sound like Coldplay lmao :)
Great video man. Stay safe.
I have a feeling those two guys have kids in every state they've ever been to
For sure. Go watch women react to this video. These guys start singing and you have to tie women to the mast of the ship!
😂😂😂
Pure raw talent, no technical help
New to you. Christmas surprise for me! Nice reaction, and I hope you keep them coming. I am only 1 of their legion of fanatical fans. They were great, they were RIGHTEOUS, "Bue-eyed soul" was a specific reference to them, and by the way they were only soul brothers, not biological ones. There are many of their songs on TH-cam, my personal favorite was UNCHAINED MELODY, 1965, live solo performance by Bobby (the tenor), and I hope you treat yourself and us with your reaction. Easy to spot - Bobby is blonde, young (25) and wearing a pink sport jacket. Recorded by something like 670 people around the world, well known, like Elvis, but no one ever came close to Bobby. Consensus is that this is Bobby"s song, and I agree! I believe, but I'm not sure, that I read that "Unchained Melody was the most recorded song ever, and also that it got the most air time.Happy Holidays Doc!
They are sooo good, I've often wondered if they are the white Jackson family. You just have to think how much practice did they go through together. Melodies, harmonies sound PERFECT.
I love that you read up on them before the video 💖 I grew up in Metro Detroit, so I was raised on Motown. Even my little mind was blown when I found out at the age of like 7 that they were white dudes. This song is definitely a GOAT. Gives me ALL the feels every time
They say this was the most played song on the radio in the 20th century with over 8 million plays.
