The Righteous Brothers stopped at my high school on their way to a concert. They sang two songs and took off in their helicopter. One of my greatest memories.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were EXceptional singers so it's no wonder that their music still lives on 60 years later. The two blue-eyed soul singers brought the masses an incredible amount of beautiful music.
This is back when music cherished and honored women, and not demeaned them. Love was elevated as an amazing and powerful emotion. As a man, I am always inspired by women.
I was sixteen, dating my first girlfriend, taking her to high school dances, and these guys were at the top of the charts. There was nothing like holding your girlfriend in your arms and dancing with her to the sound of the Righteous Brothers. Nothing like it.
Honey I'm 62 and just watched your soul do what we all have done, just the wishing that was us they were singing about, and then your eyes began to shine so brightly and you looked so happy....
The Righteous Brothers were introduced to me in 1966 by my boyfriend. Had never heard of them & I fell in love with their music. Everytime I hear them, I melt. The boyfriend didn't last even though I send a mental thank you to him when I hear this music.
@@walkingwounded3824 Yep same here!! This group is amazing !! I first heard the righteous brothers in the 1970's, but i have not seen these videos until recently!! Truly amazing!!
Since Bobby Hatfield's death in 2005, Bill Medley has had an amazing solo career. However, he recently got a new tenor for the Righteous Brothers and is now performing all the RB songs in Las Vegas. His daughter is also part of the act.
The smile on your face and the twinkle in your eyes say it all. Music...really, really good music like this...transcends anything and everything. Too bad so many of today's popular musicians and writers have forgotten (or have never figured it out).
Im always amazed by the arrangements in these songs. At the end, the ladies sound like the angels. This song should carry a warning for people with weak hearts !
Glad to see that India gave us some notes about the origins of the Righteous Brothers. One thing that she mentioned was that Phil Spector was heavily involved in the formation of the singing duo. More interesting, for several years, Phil Spector was married to Ronnie Spector, who founded and was the lead singer for the Ronettes. In fact, Ronnie took Phil's surname as her professional name for the duration of her career. "Be My Baby" is one of the premier soul songs of early 60s American music and one of my all-time favorites.
@Geo Thomas I agree that the tube amps were better than the current solid state ones. I primarily meant the mics and speakers. There is a lot of crackling from the mics in nearly every recording I've heard. The remasters take out much of it, but it does detract from the fullness of the sound.
The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame on March 10, 2003. Bobby Hatfield (1940-2003) the short tenor among "the brothers", only had 8 months to enjoy his Hall Of Fame Status, before dying from a hear attack in November 2003. Bill Medley, the tall bass-baritone, was also born in 1940. He's still going strong and and his 79th birthday will be in September 2019. The Righteous Brothers were each 24 years old when they had their monster-selling, huge first hit "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" early in 1965. Only one song they did before "Lost That Loving Feeling", called "Little Lupe Lu" barely made the bottom of the charts of Billboard's Top 100.
In my opinion this is their best song. I dont think there is another duo in music that comes close to these two. The power and range of their vocals is unmatched.
I remember the days when we used to hear these guys on the radio every day. I really wish I was back there again. I may have been a preteen but those were probably the happiest days of my life, regarding music that is.
I grew up listening to these guys as well as Neil diamond, the lettermen oh gosh so many others on 8 track and vinyl. I was a kid in the 70’s my mom graduated in 64 so you can imagine where her music tastes might have been at that time. Music was always in my house growing up.
Thank you for reminding me of this great duet. They sang songs that reflected the chivalrous men of a better day. We respected women. We wanted to protect them. I still feel that way, but things have changed. Not me.
They are truly an older act that seems to resonate with much younger listeners. The vocals and arrangements are just so beautiful that you can't help but get chills...
Absolute class and talent....What a great era of music....plus we get to see a beautiful young lady light up to the same songs that defined a generation...
My dear young friend. This one made me cry. My mom had a lot of their records- this one, included- and used to play them for me. This brought back an OLD memory.
I wish India would do more Righteous Brothers, BeeGees, Roy Orbison, BJ Thomas and Gary Puckett & the Union Gap... INDIA, look for "Words" by the BeeGees... you'll fall in love again!
Correct... and you fought a top 50 .. record companies and radio demanded talent or you were never heard. period.. hard enough just to get an audition... you had to impress on your first serve... today anyone can record ( and it shows )
I got to see them perform live in Las Vegas back in the late 80's and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Bill Medley's voice is simply amazing, and he and Bobby (RIP) were one of the most perfect fits ever in music.
I had the blessing of seeing these gentlemen live in about 1999, a couple of years before Bobby Hatfield (the high tenor) passed away. They were absolutely amazing. 30 plus years after these songs were recorded and they were spot on, song after song. They were great entertainers. I'm glad you found them.
I can see why men love these two singers. They accompany each other perfectly, with magnificent harmony. I can also see why the women love them as well. They have so much passion, it makes it seem like they are singing only to you.
This was one of my favorite groups back in the day when I was in my early teens. It was romance personified and made my heart swoon. Just as beautiful today. So glad you loved it too.
India, you light up like you know these guys were singing to you. And they were. It's the way those of us who were young in the 60's felt and it's bittersweet to see it in your face today. So sad to see young women today without expectation of this kind of feeling from a young man. You do the world a service, child.
Their harmonies are amazing with Bill, a clear baritone and Bobby, a tenor with a phenomenal range! Their songs including "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" are truly blue-eyed soul with their sound. Excuse the expression but their songs made women "cream their jeans"!
Back in 1968 they played one summer weekend a couple of miles from my house at a converted sandpit called MacArthur's Lake. It had a raft in the middle and we laid on the raft and listened to concert under the stars. Sweet sweet time.
I am 74 and when I was in the army in 64 at the px I heard them on the jukebox and in those days we had no social media and most hadn't seen them. everyone back then thought they were African American and later they were described as blue eyed soul, thanks for the memories.💚
I’m 70 and it is strong 💪 and powerful when I was a teenager great duo !!!! They got there name when they were playing in a club someone stood up and shouted that’s righteous bro
Arguably the greatest duo in the annals of rock.
They wrap you up with their voices,making you feel safe,loved, and wanted ! I’m 70 years old and they still have make me tingly!! ❤️🥰
The Righteous Brothers stopped at my high school on their way to a concert. They sang two songs and took off in their helicopter. One of my greatest memories.
The look in this woman's eyes said it all . . . pure love.

Right on, write on! WELL SAID.
Exactly right
And musicians had talent
@@raymondweaver8526 There are amazing musicians all over TH-cam, but not in modern 'pop' music. It's sad.
I tell you the women's lib. movement ruined men, and relationships between men and women.
Absolutely two of the best singers ever...and one of the absolute best songs ever written.................
50 years later, and they are singing directly to you, my young friend. enjoy
Jam O this was it baby , go ahead guys, heard they’re songs thousands of times in my 70 yrs, love this sweet lady!!😘🙂🙂😉
I was sixteen, dating my first girlfriend, taking her to high school dances, and these guys were at the top of the charts. There was nothing like holding your girlfriend in your arms and dancing with her to the sound of the Righteous Brothers. Nothing like it.
Blue eyed soul. They were fantastic singers, no auto tune, no gimmicks, just pure talent.
These guys sang so many songs that had incredible lyrics, and then they provided vocals that are still untouchable over 50 years later. Thumbs up!
Honey I'm 62 and just watched your soul do what we all have done, just the wishing that was us they were singing about, and then your eyes began to shine so brightly and you looked so happy....
As though they sang directly to her, India, and she felt the love like a warm blanket.
We all wished they were singing any of their songs to just us! This was back in the day. Don't blame you for your sweet reaction.
61 yr old white male and your smile ,eyes and soul were being sung to. Way to let your heart go😊
The Righteous Brothers were introduced to me in 1966 by my boyfriend. Had never heard of them & I fell in love with their music. Everytime I hear them, I melt. The boyfriend didn't last even though I send a mental thank you to him when I hear this music.
It was back when a man knew that the true beauty of a woman was the warmth of the love that came from her heart.
I listen to mainly metal, but I get chills everytime I hear "The Righteous Brothers".
Exactly! So few artist have that "realness",lol. Blues, old, old country, Motown and metal are the best for real emotional music that has a punch!
Same here! \m/
@@walkingwounded3824 Yep same here!! This group is amazing !! I first heard the righteous brothers in the 1970's, but i have not seen these videos until recently!! Truly amazing!!
@@greatriffishere I'm glad taste isn't dead! lol I heard and saw them in the 70's on my little black and white TV, lol
Talent is talent
Been listening to that for 50+ years and it still gives me goose bumps.
India you have the cutest response to the Righteous brothers!🙂💕
@Death Dealer Just a born romantic.
@Death Dealer yes she does 🤗
@Death Dealer Nothing wrong with that... oh, I like ("she") chocolate, too.
Reaction? She SWOONS when they sing
I wish I could get a girl to look at me like that
You looked like a wide eyed school girl watching these handsome.singers.........love love 💕
They sing their a#%*€@ off! Both voices are gorgeous, but together are a powerhouse of beautiful sound.
Honey this is a real man singing to his Lady Love this is Love
When a singer sings with his eyes closed , you know he is really feeling it!
Pure music and talent, no auto tune, just pure talent... best music ever......
A very powerful song still resonates to-day after 50 some years
Blue-Eyed Soul! They did wonders with their voices.

No-one could sell a love song like these two.
LOVE The Righteous Brothers. Awesome harmonies!
One of the most gorgeous songs from the 60's! Bill Medley's voice is so damn thick...like warm carmel.
Im always amazed by the arrangements in these songs. At the end, the ladies sound like the angels. This song should carry a warning for people with weak hearts !

It is amazing how good they were singing live on those old microphones. Imagine how great they would sound now.

@Geo Thomas warmer
Every time she listens to these guys she looks like she's either going to melt into a puddle, cry, or both. It's so cute.
The balance of both voices. Brilliant and just right
Your facial expressions through this are priceless!! Love it!!!
Best thing about music is that it never dies and is new if one has never heard it before!
10 out of 10. Timeless masterpiece
I love how they both had their own way of finishing the song. They were wonderful.
I Love to see the young people react to this great music. Thay came out when i was a teen . I loved them then and i love them now
This is for me their best, really shows off how their voices both blended and contrasted.

Absolutely agree
Music this good, is not made any longer!! So wonderful, blue eyed soul, at it's finest

I love seeing young people discovering our music from back in the day.
They are so soulful beautiful beautiful songs they sing Love Songs love everyone of there songs.So much soul
Thank you for reminding me of this great duet. They sang songs that reflected the chivalrous men of a better day. We respected women. We wanted to protect them. I still feel that way, but things have changed.
Not me.
Rick,
Amen brother!
what are you taling about?
Saw them live and all the young girls went crazy. Including me.
I can see why.
I wouldn't dare bring my girlfriend to a Righteous Brothers concert. I would become immediately invisible.
@@christopherfranklin1881 Lol, I'm a woman and they were FINE!! ❤️❤️
When you heard bill and Bobby cut loose your smile transcended beautiful and entered the realm of Nubian mythology!
The two different vocals are what makes this so incredible. My mother use to have the 45 when I was a kid. I've always loved this song...
They are truly an older act that seems to resonate with much younger listeners. The vocals and arrangements are just so beautiful that you can't help but get chills...
Absolute class and talent....What a great era of music....plus we get to see a beautiful young lady light up to the same songs that defined a generation...
The way your eyes shine when you listen to this tells me everything I need to know about how you feel about it. Great reaction!
"I never had much going, but at least I had you." Who writes lyrics like that anymore?
Now it would be like, "I'm a frigging loser, I don't need you bitch". Different times back then, that's for sure.
Smooth as melted butter 😎❤
My dear young friend. This one made me cry. My mom had a lot of their records- this one, included- and used to play them for me. This brought back an OLD memory.
Great to know others like you are as nostalgic as I am....
I wish India would do more Righteous Brothers, BeeGees, Roy Orbison, BJ Thomas and Gary Puckett & the Union Gap... INDIA, look for "Words" by the BeeGees... you'll fall in love again!
She so smart...and pretty....I think I love her ♥️
They made their mark in history of the 60s ::::::: timeless gold;;;; worth more like gold:::::::::::!
Musical Heaven and India gets her wings. Bless you, Angel.
I lived thru those glorious times--I am so lucky !!
When music required talented singers. No corrections in production.
Watch them live
Correct... and you fought a top 50 .. record companies and radio demanded talent or you were never heard. period.. hard enough just to get an audition... you had to impress on your first serve... today anyone can record ( and it shows )
I got to see them perform live in Las Vegas back in the late 80's and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Bill Medley's voice is simply amazing, and he and Bobby (RIP) were one of the most perfect fits ever in music.
I'm so glad you did this song, one of their absolute best.
How can you pick anyone as one of the best
@@raymondweaver8526 ohh can... for me it's Bill. I like Bobbie, but Bill's voice reaches my soul.
I had the blessing of seeing these gentlemen live in about 1999, a couple of years before Bobby Hatfield (the high tenor) passed away.

This is the music, that had a Heart and a Soul to it! Their music puts a Smile on my face, and makes me forget all around me.
Such powerful strong voices and not one flat note. Always loved this song.
This was one of my favorite groups back in the day when I was in my early teens. It was romance personified and made my heart swoon. Just as beautiful today. So glad you loved it too.

You are BEAUTIFUL, Indie, on the OUTSIDE AND the INSIDE! These guys MADE America!!
There is nothing like them... Just amazing
Your face said it all as soon as they started to sing.
These guys were so damn good !! and they had some really great songwriters
Our personal favorites. We love them, and have since they first came out. We were so lucky to grow up in this era.
India, it makes me feel so good that such a young person appreciates the old music of my generation. Thank you so much.
They still give me chills 60 years later
Ya Babe you got it ! Thanks.
After all these years, they still can give me goosebumps. Broke my heart in my 20's to find out Bill Medley was married, lol.
Girl!! The Righteous Brothers were the REAL DEAL!! Rare talent and we just don't see it nowadays. That's why everyone is reaching back musically.
Their harmonies are amazing with Bill, a clear baritone and Bobby, a tenor with a phenomenal range! Their songs including "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" are truly blue-eyed soul with their sound. Excuse the expression but their songs made women "cream their jeans"!
Very hard not to be emotional when these guys took the stage!
Ritchous INDEED
The smile on your face says it all. You light up the whole room around me.
Back in 1968 they played one summer weekend a couple of miles from my house at a converted sandpit called MacArthur's Lake. It had a raft in the middle and we laid on the raft and listened to concert under the stars. Sweet sweet time.
I grew up to the Righteous Brothers. Had a major crush on them. What a great sound.
Blue eyed soul..... brilliant, could listen to this pair for days
I am 74 and when I was in the army in 64 at the px I heard them on the jukebox and in those days we had no social media and most hadn't seen them. everyone back then thought they were African American and later they were described as blue eyed soul, thanks for the memories.💚
Back when men cherished us and put us on a pedestal, man am I glad to have experienced that kind of love.
I’m 70 and it is strong 💪 and powerful when I was a teenager great duo !!!! They got there name when they were playing in a club someone stood up and shouted that’s righteous bro
Love them, they go way back for me, I'm 65 now and heard them when I was Just 11 years old and they bring back allot of memories for me.
I was literally raised on their amazing music. Thank you for your warm review.
India, your eyes reveal your soul. Great job!
These guys sang live ! No lip syncing! Artists today rarely even consider it !! This was music
Different time and different men... It was Class.
They were known as "Blue Eyes Soul"... Absolutely one of the best!
A real Grinder, filled with emotion, love, melody & beautiful words!
They still give me chills!!
India, I soooo appreciate your OLD SOUL, I grew up listening to these guys. But your reaction is Priceless....Thanks for uploading!
Melted hearts all over the place from the 60’s on to now!
That's Righteous, Brothers!
