Live with no help from any electronic devices to enhance his voice. Bobby Hatfield was one of a kind. There will never be another masterful voice such as he had. Also your reaction was stunning to say the least. I really enjoyed watching you. I'm 72 and remembered slo-dancing to this song back in the day. Thank you for letting me enjoy this Timeless Masterpiece with you.
Thanks
If you wonder why boomers hate autotune so much, this is why. We miss the days when singers could actually sing!
JA S Hate, make fun of, just don't get the need for it. Oh, right, the greedy, seedy music industry.
Not a boomer here, just a Gen Xer, but it makes me sad. All the auto tune bs came from the obsession with looks; with mtv, looks became more important than whether someone could actually sing. 🙄 😢
@@falsenostalgia-shannon: Yep. Same here.
And autotune sounds a damn MESS.
Thank you! and Im not quite a boomer. 49 and have experienced both worlds. There is some fun to be had with new and old music but with every passing year I do appreciate older stuff more, because you didnt get famous unless you had effing superior vocal skills until about 1982 then vocal skills went to shit.
I never get tired of watching people react to this performance. I just wish Bobby Hatfield was still alive to feel the love.
His spirit is loved so he feels it trust me ❤️
@@THEJAYYSHOW I totally agree. He feels that love and appreciation. Just like in "it's a wonderful life."
I agree with you 100%
Alpha Scorpii ...totally unnecessary comment 🤨
carole webber Bobby Hatfield died in a motel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the night before a show. Bill Medley still lives, but since losing his singing partner (Bobby), his career hasn’t been the same. They got their name from a black Chicago DJ who would exclaim after their records played “That’s RIGHTEOUS, Brother!”, and the name stuck. It wasn’t until later people realized these Southern California blue-eyed soul singers were white.
When he did this song his mother was in the audience . He was 25 years old and nervous as could be. Look how he grabbed his lip at the end. He knew he nailed it.
A bite of the lip, a big flag of those baby blues, a job well done.
👊🏻
thank you for the history; it adds so much to what I thought couldn't be enhanced. An historic voice and song I revisit often!! Long live Bobbie Hatfield through this song and performance of Unchained Melody.
Nailed it? He crushed it into oblivion.
Biting that lip is his trademark. L.L. Cool B
Did you notice him strain? No, you did not. His 3 octave range, voice control and breath control is done with practiced ease. A really good singer.
Yes sir! More remarkable when, if the bio I read was factual, stated he never had a music or voice lesson. THATS ALL, raw talent. He puts so many " artists " to shame. In a world full of karaoke bars, ANY guy could sing that song, LIKE THAT,,, He would never go home alone.🤭
There's definitely more than 3 octaves there.
For as much effortless vocalizing, I couldn't catch him breathe!
@@twobrokeguyz1214 ...Actually he had a 4 octave range. He, Freddy Mercury and Elvis had them, although Elvis had a lot of trouble near the end.The most amazing range of any singer was probably Mariah Carey who had a 5 plus range.
good? singer?! He was and is unparalleled in his singing talent and his version of Unchained Melody. Long live Bobbie Hatfield through this song !!
Just stood there, a live performance .. no backing singers.. no auto tune... just talent.
And with stage fright. He hit it out of the park!
@@dougyates7218 And if I recall correctly his parents were in the audience...no pressure. lol
And no troupes of fruity backup dancers to distract people fro the Suck Today it's NOTHING but beats & fake bullshit
... & apparently also a head cold. Absolutely brilliant. Can't think of many... if any... better live performances that Bobby Hatfield with this classic...
I should have gone to bed hours ago, yet here I am watching reaction videos of women falling in love with Bobby Hatfield's voice.
Me too! We called it panty dropper music back then. Not a female in the room that didn't start ovulating.
again so they can get in line .
Same!! it’s literally 5 am🤣
@@schulz-so1ic me too!
It's the equivalent of a man seeing Debbie Harry perform for the first time
One of the greatest voices who ever lived. Bobby Hatfield was beyond talented!
Greatest...singer song. Period...takes u to nexr dimenion
My bad ...I though they were black....that song is as soulful as any song on earth.
The McCoy's might disagree. Little fued joke
Youre wrong Raymond...there is talent and then there is greatest
Amen and Amen!
As a 66 year old woman I am so excited for the younger generation opening up to my generation music. There were so many great songs. Lots of soul, talent, and love in these tunes. Thanks for your input.
Bobby killed it.
There's few things in this world as nice as seeing a woman hear this song for the first time.
that there is a "panty dropper"
Perhaps the single greatest solo vocal performance of all time.
Performed live, no auto-tune, and no second chances.
He nailed it...
... and he knew he nailed it. His little smile at the very end shows he knew how good his performance was. It's not bragging after completing what could well be the greatest solo ever.
And he did it with ease. He had the most perfect voice for this, the most perfect song...
This song, Whitney Houston's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" and Don McLean's version of Roy Orbison's "Crying" are my top-three live performances of all time.
Truly amazing talent 👍
And he did it live on TV on the Andy Williams show. So, no pressure...
Over 50 years ago it's crazy to see the young people enjoying it like we all did. Music was so much better back then and brought people together. God bless all of you ❤️
I don’t give a damn can’t nobody hit that “MINNNNNEEE-AAAAA-INNNNEEE” like him
😂😂 you right
Can you believe that he sounds like this singing live
And he stays pretty. No scrunched up face.
Yes.
@@bethg.5611 effortless
How many realize that Bobby actually sings 20 separate notes (not counting tremelos or slides) over three (yes, 3!!!) full octaves during this simple lyric love ballad?
Now, try THAT in the shower, boys and girls!
I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I have watched about 25 different reactions to this and You've Lost That Loving Feeling and, without fail, every. single. time. I get such extreme goosebumps it is *uncomfortable*. I love it.
Three octaves? It seemed like at least 6 lol.
hold my beer
I can sing it in the shower, or down at the local karaoke night with a few friends watching, but standing on stage with hundreds, maybe thousands of people watching, cameras rolling, no autotune, completely without a net... that's a whole different ballgame.
@Epiphany Ain't enough booze in the world to get me to do that in front of all those people.
We boomers really took the 60s and 70s for granted. His voice is as smooth as a really good bourbon. Good to hear the song again.
like the comparison...good bourbon...yes.
This is what we called pantie dropping music back in the day, and it was all done live with no second chances and no auto tune, god I miss real music. Old boomer
You and me. The heart that goes in ‘real’ music!
True fact...he was nervous before this performance because his parents were in the audience! Your reaction was priceless :)
beat me too it
That was him nervous?
Awwww. Well, he did AMAZING.
@@tric5122 And with a cold.
This was 1965. No auto tune. Just beautiful!!
Back in the day, romance was a tender, loving thing
I was 13 when this song was a hit on the radio. Now I'm watching young people react to what I've known all along. The late, great Bobby Hatfield sings this love song like nobody else can. Miss you so much Bobby.
If you look up the term, ‘nailed it’ in the Encyclopaedia it’s just a picture of Bobby Hatfield singing this song.
😂
Yup, and you can see that tiny little smile he lets out when he's just about done. It must be a very difficult song.
@@whoceceliae1874 Yep. I LOVE that smile!
Isn't that just the most beautiful song ever?
Yep, he can have my love too😌
OMG❤️
Yes
Put your head on my shoulders beautiful song
I played this for my wife on her 64th birthday yesterday. That is how much I love her after all these years. Thank you. for liking it.
A time when musicians didn’t need or have auto tune and didn’t have ear pieces to help with staying on key.
There's a tradeoff. People talk about how good these guys were but you forget how it was always the same four groups making hit songs for months at a time. It got so boring.
@@ToastrodamusNo. That talent never gets boring
@@Toastrodamus If the music is good, it never gets boring.
When she rewinds to 2:12. “I have to hear that again. This guy’s good!”
All I think is, “Honey, you just wait!”
What a thrill it would be to hear this beautiful song for the first time.
Lol! Yep. I said, "Oh, hold on...it gets better." 😂
@60s teen: I remember when I heard the Righteous Brothers for the first time. I was about your age or a bit older. I was immediately enthralled and stay just as fascinated with their voices. I got to see Bill Medley on stage twice. He was still fantastic many years later. Wish you could have gone with me.
This is from an era when Talent mattered over anything. No auto tuning , no dubbing, nothing but pure talent!
Woman’s reaction is spot on. Countless women felt this way. He takes words or lyrics and breathe life into them. He sings with conviction heart, love, and soul
Incredible, Iconic performance by one of the Greatest Singers in the history of popular music.
Who the hell gives a down vote to this song??!!
33 idiots who can't appreciate this god - given talent.
Someone who has no taste.
Autotuner's no class bro.
Idiots
Modern women's fault, feminist movement killed chivalry
That was Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. His partner Bill Medley and him teamed up for some musical gems.Their music was called "Blue-eyed Soul."
If you like a deep, soulful baritone voice, then Medley is the man. You've Lost That Loving Feeling and Soul and Inspiration are two great ones that feature both Hatfield and Medley.
love seeing people who had never heard it
I was there
Yes, and their best soul song was 'I Just Want To Make Love To You'!
th-cam.com/video/TWkS1ifRuB4/w-d-xo.html
Dusty Springfield (Mary O’Brien) was also classed as a Blue-Eyed Soul singer 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇮🇪☘️💚🇮🇪
Remember this was LIVE TV back in 1965. RIP Bobby.
What you call a proper singer. No computers, no recording studio, just a truly marvellous performance.
This is Bobby Hatfield.His partner is Bill Medley.When you get a chance to listen to their other songs,you will fall madly in love with them
I think this may be one of, if not the, top love songs of all time.
In fact it's the most played in history of radio.
Several years ago I took my teenage daughter to see America and the Righteous Brothers in concert. She wanted to leave the show after America was done. The RB opened with Unchained Melody. I looked over at her and she was balling her eyes out.
If I ever get married, this song will definitely be on the playlist. Such an amazing song. I've been hearing this since I was a kid, but still get goosebumps every time.
According to Bill Medley (He is the tall one of the duo) , they adopted the name "The Righteous Brothers" for the duo because black Marines from the El Toro Marine base started calling them "righteous brothers". At the end of a 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.
Yes, because before they were known as the Righteous Brothers, they were known as the Paramours.
AFmedic6871 That’s beautiful.
AFmedic6871 is that true? I’d never known that. Sweet.
@@cardiac19 Yes! It IS true! I summarized what Bill Medley said in his book, "The Time of My Life: A Righteous Brother's Memoir".
You can read an actual excerpt from the book here:
books.google.com/books?id=8pX_AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q&f=false
The relevant part starts with the last 2 paragraphs of page 11.
I'm 70, and despite growing up in a small town where the only thing that was "Black" were a few cats and a crayon in your box of crayolas, I always enjoyed R&B and soul music. Of course I had a great teacher, my Dad. In the late 50's an older sister's class was going to put on a "Minstrel Show" (which was a big thing back then). My Dad wouldn't let her participate. When the school asked him why he said, "because it is being disrespectful to them."
AFmedic6871 that’s super cool. Thx.
The Righteous Brothers are a duo. Some times they take turns singing solo. Try "You Lost That Loving Feeling" one of the biggest songs recorded and their biggest hits song by both as a duo.
Yes! The best song!
Oh yeah you'd LOVE 'Lost that loving feeling' - like, do that one next
You've Lost That Loving Feeling is the most played on the radio song in the 20th century.
And you’re my soul and inspiration
Not only their biggest hit but also the most played song on radio and TV in the 20th century.
For me this is the greatest love song of all time. It hits you right in the soul 🥰
“Unchained Melody” always brought me to tears.
That just touched your soul didn’t it? I saw it happen,it happens to me every time too
I can't remember how old I was the first time I found this song on one of my parents old records. It's ages ago and I've heard it hundreds and hundreds of times. Still the lyrics, his voice - all of it - it tears me up every time.
That was one of the most iconic songs of the 60's
this big hit wasn't even an "A" side play on the old 45 records. probably the greatest "B" side song ever
This song was my wife and my wedding song. I think one of the greatest songs ever sung.
Bobby is now singing for the angels. They are lucky....Great reaction
They (The Righteous Bros) did "Rock and Roll Heaven"....it was prophetic, because Bobby is there now.
Admittedly, this man is a damn doll, he's beautiful
This is my favorite song of all time. Bobby Hatfield is a legend and nobody has come close to replicating this timeless masterpiece in all of these years.
Check out You've lost the loving feeling by the righteous brothers. Their dynamic was astonishing.
You've lost that loving feeling is actually the most requested and played song of the 20th century.
It is a true classic. I love the weaving of his singing and the music. It is exciting to watch young people discover and fall in love with great music and artists from the past.
That is an incredible live performance.... We're so lucky to have it on film.
I'm so thankful that I was born and grew up in this beautiful era. The Righteous Brothers were one of my favorites. Such beautiful voices and harmonies singing memorable songs.
Mine to
Loved the way he bit his lip at the end…he knew he’d nailed it!
Girl, that was LIVE. No auto tune, no gimmicks. Bill Medley’s incredible voice and the instruments.
Correction: It was Bobby Hatfield, not Bill Medley. 🙂
She never heard of the Righteous Brothers?...damn I'm getting old.
The brothers had what we called 'Blue Eyed Soul'.
Live performance. Absolute perfection from Bobby.
They WERE some absolutely a couple of RIGHTEOUS Brothers.
You are not overreacting, the Righteous Brothers touch your soul!
TH-cam search " The History of Unchained Melody". Written in 1955 with many covers, but Bobby's is the greatest. RIP Bobby. 🙏✌💝😇
Big Jack - my brother has an old 78 record of Al Hibler singing this. I think he was the first.
So glad my parents introduced me to all kinds of music at a young age. I've also did this for my kids and they listen to all kinds as well. Kudos for going outside the box and checking out other music... guess what? The whole world has different music!!
I LOVE when someone experiences Bobby Hatfield for the first time! It was said that he sang blue eyed soul. Unfortunately he has been gone since 2003.
Love watching her loving this, knowing the big vocal is coming at the end.
This is so funny to me since this WAS the music of my youth. Enjoy.
This was the music of my teen years (I'll be 70 in July). Slow dancing to this - mmmmmmm! :)
One of my favorite songs. My mama passed away four years ago and my brother downloaded TH-cam for my dad and he played this everyday and turned it up! He would sit there and cry. He misses the love of his life! They were married 60yrs.
So sweet to watch beautiful young people give our older generations greats a chance.. and actually appreciate them.
Great video. You’re a doll. Keep looking back.
No overreaction here, Jayy. One can't help but fall in love with Bobby's voice....and to think he was so shy when he had no reason to be. Thanks for your reaction.... can't wait to hear your next one. Take care and be well, Jayy! Peace.
Our wedding song and I still start to tear up when I hear it after over 30 years
Hope they are happy tears?
Love your reaction ! I am 67 and this is my music ! It still got to me, I have slow danced so much to me, very romantic.
I love your reaction….Bobby singing this live is the very best live performance you will ever see. His voice is just so beautiful and soulful, blue eyed soul at its finest!
On most of their albums the two guys who made up the “Righteous Brothers,” Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, would each do an individual song. This just happens to be one that Bobby did by himself. In fact, both guys wanted to record it individually. The “story” goes that Bobby apparently won a coin toss and it became his song. Years later Bill said he was grateful he lost.
That really fills in the story, thanks!
The late, very great, Bobby Hatfield. No one will ever sing this song again like Bobby did.
So true no one will be ABLE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youll never here music like this again absolute CLASSIC
I am so proud to be of the same generation as the Righteous Brothers. Blue eyed soul. They were and are the greatest in the 20th century or any other century.
Bobby Hatfield's version back in 1965 has become the quintessential version of them all. Here he is singing live (1965) on the Andy Williams show. This is an epic performance by Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers' who has hit 20 notes on one of the greatest songs ever written.
Alex North wrote the music (1910-1991) and Hy Zaret wrote the lyrics (1907-2007). Their song was used as the soundtrack for the film 'Unchained' (1955). Todd Duncan who sang the song in the movie was an African American opera singer, actor and professor at Howard University. He was the first to sing 'Unchained Melody.
Since 1955 almost every major recording artist from around the world have recorded 'Unchained Melody.' Making it one of the most recorded songs in the history of music.
It wasn't until the performance of 'Unchained Melody' by Bobby Hatfield in 1965. That his quintessential version would go on to be the version every artist has used and uses today. That version you are watching here on You Tuber 'THEJAYJSHOW.
And that's Live!!!
He had an amazing voice...
The orchestra is absolute perfection too.
Gives me chills every time. You may remember this song was used in the movie “Ghost”.
I don't know if anyone else here said it, as I haven't read all the comments yet, but that is so called blue-eyed soul. It is indeed wonderful when we all can share the soul, regardless of our color or ethnicity. Excellent review!
Lol, my mother said she conceived my older sister to this song. She loved the the Righteous Brothers. Her favorites song though was "You Lost that Loving Feeling".
This was always the #1 of all time song on our oldies station yearly countdown. It’s so beautiful.
It is soulful and romantic! I love dancing to it with my husband in the family room! Always calming and beautiful. 😻
Love watching people's reaction to these classics for the first time....
Put this against the backdrop of the times - The Vietnam Nam War
Bobby was giving a voice to the hearts and minds of the guys and gals serving and fighting a war in a far off country. Some of these young people came home in body bags or flag draped coffins. Each night on the news America would get an update of the lives lost in Vietnam Nam. We would often see the body bags and the coffins off loaded on the Tarmac and watched as grieving families waited to be saluted and given the flag that had been draping their loved ones coffin.
This song is also evocative of the many, many personnel who got Dear John (or Jane) letters while fighting in a war, wondering if they would make it out alive, and hoping they would come back to a girlfriend or wife that was still theirs, waiting with open arms.
When Bobby sings so plaintively and soulfully about needing love it breaks my heart knowing that so many died in vain without a loved one by their side.
In short - This song brings tears to my eyes for the shear joy and pleasure of Bobby's talent. It makes me fall in love with Bobby, his angelic vocals, and with love itself. But it also transports me back to the Vietnam Nam era and makes me cry for the lost souls, the ones that lost their lives, and the ones that came back to derision, hate, dismissive attitudes, long years of physical rehab, PTSD, and loneliness.
This was from my generation and we listened to them always....At 70 years of age just hearing this makes my heart swell....and brings back so many memories!!! :'(
Bobby Hatfield was incredibly talented. What a GREAT high tenor voice. The voice control, the range, the tone, intonation, phrasing is just unbelievably good & he makes it look easy.
You just heard one of the best singers from an era that sang from their heart and soul. Not sex or auto-tune.
...I never get tired of "Unchained Melody"
He was so handsome. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful in 1965 on the Andy Williams show. I melted and fell in love with him. OMG this was Bobby song! RIP Bobby! 💞💞💞
His name is Bobby Hatfield, the other 1/2 if The Righteous Bros., from the 60's; the genre is "Blue Eyed Soul". It was played in the movie "Ghost".... I'm always amused when young people are amazed from real music/singers from decades past, such as these guys. Try "Soul & Inspiration for one of their other hits. The only other Blue eyed Soul from the 80's-90's I can think of was George Michael... He does a beautiful version of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good".... I'm really, really old school when men could sing, wear beautiful suits, choreography on point... AND... They loved us! Sorry... These boys today can't sing Mary had a little lamb for Me. Keep digging into My generation's music!!
20 notes. He sang a 20 note range. That's an octave and a half. Most singers who are GREAT can sing a full octave. Bobby was a once in a lifetime talent. That's why this hits people like it does beside the fact he sings like singers try to do with runs now.
I thought there were 8 notes in an octave. That would make it 2 1/2 octaves.
@@julesjaay822Modern harmony usually has 12 notes in an octave. Because the notes are actually based on ratios (division of small numbers).
hubguitar.com/music-theory/why-12-tet
@@julesjaay822 There are eight notes in an octave in a major or minor scale. But there are actually 12 notes in the chromatic scale in an octave.
Yeah he goes off the charts on the last verse. Not just off the charts, off the paper...... they need legal size 8 1/2 x 13 for his vocal range lol
@@marciadiehl5733 I should have explained better. Thanks.
That's when singer's had talent no auto tune back then.
The greatest song ever written. The flow, the passion.
Your reaction to this song brought tears to my eyes. The oldies are SO good.
I'm no stranger to this song, but experiencing you hear it for the first time was like listening to it the first time myself. Thank you for tapping into the joy.
Live orchestra..live vocals..this is as good a performance as ever performed!
Notice every word is perfectly enunciated!
It's very sweet to see this music have such an effect on a young person - I grew up with it and feel fortunate to have done so.
You missed it!!!!I Grew Up with this and actually saw him perform. LOL!!!!! Soulful .....yes!
It was written in 1955 as the theme song for a low budget prison film, “Unchained.” There were three different artists who put it out as a single In the 50’s...Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton. But once this version by Bobby Hatfield was released in July 1965, as the “B” side to a song the DJ’s didn’t like and wouldn’t play, it became THE standard interpretation. Bobby first recorded a couple takes as it was written, but he came back for another and changed the final verse to a much higher range level.....something he could obviously do with his incredible voice.
Some of the actors in that movie were inmates at the prison where it was filmed.
Definitely in my top 10 of all time BEST songs ever written.
Blue eyed soul blessed by God for our listening pleasure and he now sings amongst the Angels.
