Oh, man! You are going to lose your mind if you watch "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"! You have to hear what Bobby and Bill could do together. Righteous, indeed.
Exactly. the epitome of Blue Eyed Soul.
Summertime! Another Bobby song that is great.
@@creinicke1000 O.K.---but then it's Bill's turn with "I Just Wanna Make Love To You."
Please 🤞❤️
Agree! That song is perfection!
And this was live. No lip synching. No auto-tune. Just pure talent.
The studio orchestra was also live. We watched the Andy Williams show all the time in the 60s. We only had a black-and-white TV, though. Finally got a color TV in early 70s.
That is true also Bobby had a head cold and momma is in the audience on Merv. Truley earth shattering❤❤
Indeed!
Also no background singers to make them sound better!
Grew up on this blue eyed soul brother. I’m 73 years old , black and we didn’t
care about color. All we knew was this guy can sing, and we embraced his
soulful talent…simply amazing to still hear his voice that gives me chills❤
Good point to make! Music was a powerful influence to help break down the color barriers you and I both knew as children. Talent doesn't care about skin color, and slowly but surely that had an impact on the world as music gave black performers a leading role in creating new musical genres, and both black and white audiences learned to appreciate the musicians who made great music regardless of the color of their skin. We are far from perfect today, but music has certainly helped contribute to moving the world in the right direction.
You are so correct. There was no color in music just talent. I still get weak in the knees when I hear the Platters.
Love & Peace ♥️💯
I’ve listened to just about the” 13:41 first time” presentations and this is tops. Love his description about performing live. Chills, smiles, tears, ….incredible Bobby ❤
Ok, black man, but there is no such thing as blue eyed soul. Any more than there is a such thing as afro haired rock.
Apologies if someone has said it, but this was a LIVE TV show with a live orchestra that millions watched LIVE - no retakes, no do overs, no autotune. Just pure talent for everyone to see.
Exactly that! Live with no auto tune and/or manipulation of any kind. Also, he was on the tail end of a bad cold here and his parents were in the audience, so he wanted to do very well for them.
And he was nervous because his mom was in the audience.
no auto tune... one take, one man, one mic untouchable performance... that's talent and practice perfected
I made the same comment
Yep...live TV performance, live audience, live orchestra.
Yep! No Lip Sync , Just Raw Natural Talent!! This Is My Parents' Favorite. I remember Them Slow Dancing, in the kitchen - Mom would be wrist-deep making meatloaf OR bent over taking something in/out of a HOT OVEN😂😊 AND MY DAD would come up behind Her and Start Dancing!! Mom would say, " Oh, For Pete's Sake! Can't You see my hands are a Mess!!❤❤❤😊😊😊!!!"
I can Still "See" Them Dancing EVERY TIME I hear This song.😢😢❤❤
@@connielyons562 thanks for sharing I love the word picture you painted.. 😊
Absolute talent was necessary in those days
The Righteous Brothers have been making girls "melt" for decades. They are exceptional.
I was one of those girls in 1965 when I was in high school.
I am 30 years older than you and this is one of the reasons my generation can claim to have the best music. Your enthusiasm is great!
Best 3 vocal performances:
1) Bobby Hatfield/ Unchained Melody
2) Art Garfunkel / Bridge Over Troubled Water
3 Roberta Flack / The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
All three are exquisite examples of the human voice 🏆🏆🏆
what about the bee gees in perfect harmony, always!
Bee Gees!!!
The man at the club that said "that was Righteous Brothers!" was an African American Marine.
classic tale--nice to be sharing with the younger folk.
Nice
imagine no auto tune, no crazy dancing, no gimmicks, no half dressed people ,,,,,, just pure vocal talent
I’m 70 yrs old and this my music. There was no dubing. Everyone sang live and it was great! Young people don’t know what they missed. Great time in music!
1) his mom was in the crowd.
2)no no no auto tune. Totally analog.
Now I understand why he bit his lip at the end - with mom watching, he was anxious not to blow it.
He said he was extremely nervous because she was there.
useless fact, 1 of the back up singers was this 14yo half breed kid ...her name is cher
His little "nailed it!" smile. Lol.
So was his fiancee. And he wasn't feeling well.
The incomparable Bobby Hatfield. He is 25 years old here and had already been a pro baseball player and a naval aviator as well as having had the number one song in America with “You’ve Lost that Lovin Feeling”. Blue eyed legend.
Bobby Hatfield graduated from my High School (Anaheim High in Anaheim California) He was the MVP on the baseball team but never played Pro ball he gave up baseball for his music career. He was also class President from 1957-58. I attended 10 years later but he was very well known to all that attended Anaheim High.
Bet the women went wild over him back in the day.
So lucky to go to high school when we could dance every Friday night to the Righteous Brothers, Motown and so many more...it was a great era of music and we also had the Rock N Roll greats!
He was a naval aviator? Such importance yet never heard. Where can I get more info on?
@@DianeAccettullo-yr1ht not a job or a vocation; just experience garnered in the four years he spent in the Naval reserves after high school, which, you are correct, there is almost no info on. Remember the draft was in play and men had to serve in some capacity unless granted an exemption. There is a picture or two out there of Bobby with his reserve unit. There is also a picture of him in the cockpit of a jet on the set of “Top Gun” and in some article a blurb of info saying Naval consultants on the film were surprised to learn of his experience.
Yep it was 100% live, he also had a cold and was nervous because his parents were in the audience and it was the first time he had performed in front of them. He just opened his mouth and sang, incredible talent. All our boys in Vietnam were crying over this, wait for me wait for me.
An older lady here. I never thought your videos would be fair to the oldies. But your TH-cam station is epic. Thanks you for exposing the young people to some music which is not their style. Some of these old Spivey shows are really funny.
One way you know it's not a recorded track - Bobby added that, "I really need your love", for this live performance. And those falsettos. What a gift he had.
Tenor. No falsettos here. Just magnificent key changes & peak perfection.
Not falsetto. Bobby Hatfield sang countertenor.
A 25 year old Bobby Hatfield could out sing anybody. He is my favorite male singer of all time.
My mom worked at Harrah's Club in Reno. I was a scrawny freckled faced 4:57 kid with braces when i met them. Bobby said "you're going to be a beautiful woman, you look like your mom". Pretty sweet.❤
This song was recorded by 670 people worldwide including by Elvis. It will always belong to Bobby. They were called the first blue eyed soul and every colour woman loved them. I grew up to this. I used to request You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling every single week at our local dance. Bobby has the high notes and Bill has the deep notes. They are magic. They are not brothers.
No auto tune just a funny little microphone. Wait for the end notes and the little smile at the end because he got through it and his Mother was in the audience. I am 71 years old and we had the very best music to grow up with.
I always melt when he bites his lip at the end, then beams.
I was born 1955 , so I grew up listening to the greatest music. I'm still enjoying music ,
I am a Boomer . I am so glad I grew up to listen to the best songs of rock and pop in history. Nobody outdoes Bobby in this performance. He set The bar so high. I have never heard anyone equal it in any song. There are a lot that came close to the bar but None is better than Bobby. He earned the gold medal of all time for male singers.
Probably the greatest live performance by any performer ever.
Absolutely!
It was great - but Dimash beats everyone else.
Oh man! Chills after almost 60 years! Talent is colorless, timeless, beautiful!
RIGHTEOUS!!
Absolutely right ❤❤❤🔥🔥❤️❤️😊🌹🌹🌹🌹
You should check out “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” to see them both sing! Loved seeing you feel this one! Bobby Hatfield had a soulful angelic voice! Bill ‘Medley is also amazing and together they are crazy! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
TOP GUN BABY!
Yes
Only song that makes tears well up in my eyes every time I hear it. R.I.P Bobby....we sure do miss you!
That's my FAVORITE by them! My Dad, when I got older, like 16 or so, would tell me that back in HIS day this was "panty dropping music." 😂😂 I forget what we were doing, but I want to say that we watching a movie that had a concert in it with ladies throwing bras and undies at the stage, but anyway the conversation came up. He caught me off guard and Dr. Pepper came out of my nose 😂
Yes
I am 68, and I still get chills listening to this song 🎵 that and their song "You lost that loving feeling." ❤️ I grew up listening to songs like this, and Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison! What a childhood!
I am 66 years old, I love your reactions, and I love the way you share your feelings. Yes he was live, and it was a perfect song
I'm 69 and I agree. Great reaction to a great song. I would suggest checking out Tom Jones next, singing I'll Never Fall In Love Again.. Another mind blowing performance. WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC!!
Love your trip you are going to. Oh Kirk Franklin 🎉
Same age as me
@@carolyncappitelli1460
And The Voice has ever song Tom Jones ever sang on the show. His 80th birthday!!
don’t forget Johnny Mathis. That dude had a sick voice live.
In 2024 I still get goose bumps/chills every time I hear this song.
To hear what Bill sounds like.. definitely check out “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”… his voice might surprise you
This is the greatest ballad ever recorded, in my opinion. Bobby Hatfield's voice is incredible!
Way back then there was no such thing as AUTO TUNE, just pure raw talent
The one and only righteous brothers always been on my playlist for many many years. They do not make music anymore like they did back then.❤
This was on the Andy Williams Show...(Moon River)...During the Vietnam War...you can imagine the impact...His mom was in the audience and never seen him perform...note: he had a cold...💛
You should hear Andy Williams croon.not your style,but maybe best ever.😊
Shame he died so young from a terrible addiction,but left this gem😢.❤
@@RobertSmith-iw2kbIt's a shame you write claptrap presented as fact. He wasn't so young. 63 isn't extremely old, but certainly not very young. Most importantly, he didn't have a terrible addiction, unless you count cigarettes. Yes, a trace amount of cocaine turned up in the autopsy, but he died in his sleep from a run of the mill heart attack. Could make a list of what could cause that erroneous tox result. He wasn't feeling well so he had dinner in his room and fell asleep. Those close to him, family and friends, never saw him using or under the influence. The autopsy also found he had blockages in his arteries up to 95%...bypass surgery was needed. According to one of his sons, he had a doctor's appointment scheduled for after that tour. Too bad it wasn't before the tour.
Wanted to add: no drugs or drug paraphernalia was found in his room.
Ava Maria at RFKs funeral was epic.
This has the reputation of being one of the greatest live performances of all time.
The story is, that this was the 1st time his mother heard him live; he said it was his best live version that he ever did of this song...❤
I’m crying. Loved it as a lonely teenager, loved it in Ghost, loved it as a romance song. Love it so much-and now my husband of 53 years is in the nursing home. There is a lifetime for me in this amazing, stunning song! I’m glad you appreciate the talent of the sixties.
I work in one. I hope you and your husband are treated in as lovely, friendly, and respectful a way as I treat all my residents.
@@tangelite9968 ❤️😊
@@user-ps1ft1hy4j There are always a few who should work elsewhere. But for the most part he is treated with respect and kindness. ❤️😊
Bobby Hatfield wasn't just Talented, he took a lot of time, effort and dedication to get that good at the skill of singing. He had to accept criticism, and even harder, listen to his own voice critically to know what mistakes were made, or to know how he could improve. Lots of practice, lots of rehearsal, doing it over and over, testing and comparing versions and pacing.
He had an exceptional voice, and plenty of talent, but it was huge amounts of hard work that really put them on the map.
Live no autotune no voiceover no lip-synching ! This is the only time his mother was ever in the audience to see him live ! The runs Bobby goes on in this song I just unbelievable both of them had incredible voices. You got a check out you’ve lost that loving, feeling rock ‘n’ roll, Heaven soul and inspiration. These are all great songs.
It was the first time she was there, not the only time. His dad is there, too.
I’m 74, I feel blessed to have lived through the songs and the talant of the singers , they could make you fall in love ,break your heart and heal it all in one song. One thing was certain you’d always leave the show feeling good. The radio in the car was always tuned in to all sorts of great listening from Rock to Country. These days I don’t even turn the radio on, seems it’s always bad news, sure hope that changes back to times like we had and shared with each other👍🇨🇦
Remember when you'd hear some of everything on the radio? Blues, rock, R&B, Motown... my nieces and nephews tease me when I turn on the 'Classic 60s and 70s' station... "Aunt Lynn! Do you know EVERY song from back then?!" "Yes. Yes, I do... this was great music and I spent my childhood in front of the radio."
I’m 83 and I couldn’t agree more, we had no worries back in the day and some of the best music would soothe your soul
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He doesn’t even break a sweat. He’s flawless. I grew up to these guys. No one better. One take…..LIVE!
Blue eyed soul at its finest!!!! I love seeing the younger generations appreciating and giving these previous performers their flowers!
Bobby Hatfield was a counter tenor and Bill Medley was the baritone. Together they were magical. Bobby is gone now but Bill is still singing.
In a million years from now, this version of this song will still be the absolute GOLD standard.
So glad you have reached a place where you can appreciate thee way music was made back in the 60’s. Cool dude
Probably one of the greatest performances ever. The look on his face at the end says he knew he'd nailed it.
You are so right, back then, you sang it and it was recorded. No auto tune etc. Pure vocals, pure talent. Very few modern day singers can do it.
And above all, talent was an absolute necessity in those days
I'm 62, and I've been listening to them all of my life, and it still blows me away how good they were.
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" THAT'S THE song that best showcases both brother's talents.....Please check it out, you will LOVE it! ... & Congrats on the new baby!!!!!!
One take. Flawless, incredible range, depth, and control. One of the very few songs that still gives me goose bumps. A true masterpiece.
I just lost my dad today, and this was his and my mom's song (she passed in 2012). Have always loved this one. Today's been tough, but thank you for your honest appreciation of this true gem. ❤
You have sympathy darlin. Blessings of peace and comfort to you and your family.
This song, this version is absolute PERFECTION!!! Pure talent and I get chills everytime I see and hear it!! RIP Bobby Hatfield ❤
I was blessed growing up in the 60's, a great time for all genres of music.
I love it when a man knows how to compliment someone!!
Live and unedited….things just pure raw talent!!!!!
You’ve lost that loving feeling has them both and is amazing
If you pay attention to him while he's singing... it's sooooo effortless!!! It's like he's just talking to the audience but music is coming out ... An angel
Andy Williams, like all the great singers, was also pitch perfect without electronic assistance.
Yes, 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.
Yes, LIVE . . . and with a head cold and his mother in the audience . . . . this is one of the greatest preformances ever!! And the ease in his stance as he just sings from his soul
its a literal fucking tragedy that music like this will never be made again. Actually tragic. I wish artists would challenge themselves to do exactly what they did back then. No auto tune. No video editing. No second takes. Just one shot and a dream.
He was very nervous because his mother was in the audience, and he didn't want to make a mistake in front of her. He knew he nailed it, which is why he bit his lip at the end.
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" should be your next one if you want to see them both at their best! FABULOUS reaction!
Fun tidbit: His parents were there, and it was their 1st time hearing him sing this song too. Imagine that.
Also, notice how effortlessly he hit those notes & runs.
The smile at the end was partly because his parents were in the audience. Beautiful song.
My generation had the best music, groups, and singers and the words were pure poetry.
The Righteous Brothers were called Blue Eyed Soul. This is THE DEFINITIVE recording of the song, because Bobby had a bad cold that night and his mother was in the audience to hear him sing live for the first time. These are just some of the reasons this is so special.
Love your reaction, and the fact that you recognize that was the way it was. No auto-tune, just real natural talent. BTW during this performance Bobby had a heavy head cold, but he wanted it to be perfect because his mother was in the audience. RIP Bobby, we loved you. 💞
You do the younger generation a great service if they will listen that's why it's hard for us old folks to like the knew stuff this is what we had and never stopped loving it
Live with no autotune or enhancements. Bobby could really sing. Beautiful man.❤
In 1965, we had 3 TV channels, and variety shows like this were the bomb. Probably 40% of the national audience was watching this, his parents were in the audience, and they had a live orchestra reading sheet music in the background. Yes, the intro was staged, but the performances were live, live live, warts and all.
This is just for us girls did you see him bite his lips right after that last note? His Mom was in audience first time she saw him perform and he was worried he might mess up that last high note. Thats what i heard years ago. Just adorable. RIP,Bobby.❤
Pure talent. Incredibly beautiful! As you say, no auto tune, no retakes, no dubbing, etc. like so many of today’s artists.
You've Lost That Loving Feeling live will blow your mind. It shows how talented and amazing their harmonies were.
He was sick that night. Truly impressive. 40!
Also his parents were sitting in the audience.
Eva Cassidy's version of "when Autumn leaves begin to fall" is the perfect combination of the beauty of the song and the ethereal vocals of Eva Cassidy. A truly heart rendering version of love lost. Kindest regards from Canada.
His beautiful sound was known in the 60's as "blue-eyed soul". His voice draws out emotions now, almost 60 years later, as much as it did then. Your reaction is priceless!!!
The man asking them questions was Andy Williams, a famous singer in his own right, and this was his TV show. I am 69 years old so I grew up with the music you are enjoying. My sisters and father and I "owned" the stereo all year, but come December 1, my mother took control and it was Andy Williams all month. He was what was known as a crooner. Check him out singing Moon River.
Born in '61 here. I grew up in a home where my mom played WLS (top 40 radio) all day in the kitchen. But most of my friends' parents played all the crooners. I feel like I got to enjoy the best of both worlds in a time when music was just magic.
I was born in '53 and my mother adored Andy Williams! I think I knew all the words to Moon River before I could read and write!
@@suecook1326 I was born in '54. My mother would fight your mother over him 😂.
Y'all I was born in 85. My parents were born in the 40s. I grew up on big band, doo wop, Lawrence Welk, black and white movies, musicals...love all of it.
ooooo.....Andy Williams.....Moon River: PRICELESS!!! LOVED his SOUND!! Loved A Time For Us, Where Do I Begin, and Speak Softly Love by him: SO GOOD!!! Your MOM had GREAT TASTE...and, it sound like she rubbed some o that off on YOU!!! :)
In You lost that loving feeling you can see them performing together.Another hit for them.Blue eyed soul at its best.
This performance is even better than the studio version on the album.
72 yrs old! We grew up on the greats. We still get the goosebumps
You can tell by the look on his face at the end,when he knew he nailed it,that it was live!
RIP PATRICK SWAYZE! 🙏 🙏
I'm 59 and it's so wonderful seeing you react to the music! I grew up up and broadening your music experiences 😊
The ease of his delivery was always perfect
This Song was written for a 1955 Movie, titled "Unchained" about a guy going to prison......
The "I didn't think it would be a hit" was a joke..... They actually took turns singing Solo songs, while touring and recording.....
A Song with them together is "You've Lost that Loving Feeling".... it was in the first "Top Gun" Movie....
This a Catagory/Genre nicknamed "Blue Eyed Soul"..... I don't know it they started it, or they are just the most well known....
This is where blue eyed soul came from, the term was coined for these boys
A radio disc jockey in Philadelphia named Georgie Woods created the term "blue-eyed soul" to describe the Righteous Brothers in 1964. 🎵
I firmly believe we had the best raw talent back in the day.
ABSOLUTELY!
They sang with pure voice. No Auto-Tune or gimmicks. 1965--real voice. song covered over 600 times.....
TRUE Vocal talent!! Not many with that ability these days! Cheers
What’s more impressive is that his Mother was in the audience, plus if that wasn’t enough, he was sick.
Best rendition of this beautifull song from this legendary Live Performance full of Talent and SOUL no gimmicks no crap.
Orange county california had two bases. When was the jet base for the marines and the other one was helicopter base. These 2 young men would play in the neighborhood of Orange County California. The Marines would go watch them. And yes, that's how they got their name, the righteous brothers.. But when they went on television and the black radio stations that were playing their music saw them. They took them off the air. I'm so glad you like their music.
And THAT is why my favorite decade is the 60s
The 60's and the 70's had the best music ever!
I always loves how he bites his lip at the end.❤
I think you'll LOVE "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" which features both of them. There's a call-and-response part where they go wild.
My personal favorite is an old black-and white video of them teaming up with the Blossoms (a Black girl group) for "Night Time is the Right Time" where everybody gets a turn singing the lead. It's really boisterous and loud. Hope you enjoy it!
Love the Righteous Brothers. You had to be perfect back then to make it, and they most certainly were.
I’ve been to a Righteous Brothers concert and when Bobby Hatfield sang this song, you could hear a pin drop. It was drop dead beautiful! He just echoed in the venue! When he and Bill sang together it was magic!
Hey!! I'm 72 yrs old, This music was played during the Vietnam war! This was so true to our hearts while waiting to see our soldier boyfriends/ Boyfriends/ husbands and such!! I know exactly the wonderful feelings of love and hope to see my boyfriend to get home from war!! True love and real music this era!!
Pure genius 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
The backdrop of the war and men being drafted makes the music of this era even more meaningful.
No auto tune, he nailed it in one
Yes, every reaction channel admires this performance. There are only a few that truly realize the impressiveness of the one take flawless performance that was done and fortunately you get it.
