Love the way he smiles when he sings, the enjoyment of hearing him is only surpassed by seeing how much he loves sharing his beautiful voice with others. Bobby lives on for so many people who still appreciate what an exceptional talent he was, as well as those who have only come to know him more recently as I have.
There is only one "Bobby Hatfield" !! A great voice and such a unique and beautiful style. Can't be mistaken for anyone else. On top of all that, he was a very handsome young man. Cathy
Yes janschwartz, he was very blessed with that voice. I cannot think of anyone in this era of music, or even when he was singing in the 60's that could ever reach those octaves. He was a counter tenor. We are still listening to his 🎶 after all this time. Bobby is dearly missed.
I can understand why females are screaming for Bobby Hatfield cause he sings so romantic and he ends with a remarkable pitch! The Righteous brothers a great pair for entertainment!! 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Bobby majored in music in college. He has had plenty of training. You don't achieve his level of virtuosity without some training. His breath control, dynamics, phrasing... all comes from talent, training and hard work.
Bobby was exceptional in every way. His song "Unchained Melody" was mine and my husband's song. My hubby is now with Bobby and singing together in heaven. No one has gotten #1 on this song, but Roy Orbison and Elvis come in 2nd. God Bless them all and may they RIP. ❤❤❤❤❤.
He absolutely had vocal training. He exhibits virtuosic vocal skill and technique, such as vowel modification, and decrescendo skill (going from loud to soft) which is very challenging.
Isberliner, he was, what a blessed voice. Yes, on the song unchained melody, he made that song his own. Any songs that he sang solo, effortlessly, no autotune, natural voice. He sang with ❤ and soul. He is dearly missed, time flies, 20 years have passed. He is still being remembered, he was one of a kind, a class act.
Miss Janice. No one can reach Bobby's velvet voice. He was one of a kind the songs he sang were soulful as well. He's gone but will never be Forgotten. His songs, voice, and all his memories will always be remembered. He's singing in Heaven now and I'm sure that all the Angels are loving hs voice too. God Bless You Bobby And Rest In Eternal Peace. We Love You And Miss You Just As Much. Rest Easy My Friend. 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏 Until We Meet Again. Adios.❤❣❤❣❤❣❤
@@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg the players were amazing..it is ok.! I love them!but they are a lot of persons singing this song.... Bobby was the One... :) and his voice is...unique !
@@monnyferreiro1539 Well, Bobby was no Tony Williams, but on the other hand, Tony & the Platters version of "Unchained Melody" and "Ebb Tide" were not as good as Bobby's version in my expert opinion.
The most talented and incredible artist ever!! There will never be another Bobby Hatfield, a beautiful human being, a handsome man and a voice that would make you cry it was so beautiful!!
He was a wonderful singer and a wonderful person I had the privilege of meeting him Bill Medley but Bobby Hatfield was the best all the way around he was the best I knew him for awhile. Greatest singer ever with no professional training. I loved his voice and him
That may be a cliche, dawn but it did fit Bobby to a "t". He was such a blessed man, beautiful inside and out, humble, he did not let his success go to his head. After all these years we are so blessed to still be able to hear such a beautiful voice. Bill was not to shabby, saying that in a good way, a baritone that did songs solo well.
I thought the platters were really good but this version tops them all. Bobby Hatfield has to go down as one of the all time greats. Lots of his songs were cover versions but I bet the origional singers wish they could have sung it half as good as his interpretation. Simply the best.
Thank our LORD that Bobby gave us this Version of this most Beautiful song. So sad that the kids of this generation haven't experience his Brilliant Talent. RIP Dear Bobby. YOUR Music LIVES ON.

my favourite singer of all time, the Unchained Melody my all time favourite I play it most days, Bobby was fantastic, what a voice, sexy, just love that man......never be forgotten Bobby
Dear Lord, I keep going back to his wonderful vocals! No one sounds like this amazing man today, such a treasure! I hope one day in Heaven I can hear the awesome vocals of Bobbie Hatfield.
Libertas you were very blessed to this man perform. He had a voice that was heavenly sent. I cannot think of a male artist that could reach his octaves, either there or now. He was very blessed with that voice. His music is still here after all this time. He is dearly missed.
Robert Lee "Bobby" Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) was an American singer, best known as one half of the Righteous Brothers; Born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, Hatfield moved with his family to Anaheim, California, when he was four. A 1958 graduate of Anaheim High School, he sang in the school choir and played baseball. He briefly considered signing as a professional ballplayer, but his passion for music led him to pursue a singing career while still attending high school. He eventually encountered his singing partner, Bill Medley, while attending California State University, Long Beach. Hatfield is an alumnus of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Career This section requires expansion. (August 2007) Hatfield and Medley began singing as a duo in 1962 in the Los Angeles area as part of a five-member group called the Paramours. They were often told they sounded like African-American gospel singers and named their singing act "The Righteous Brothers" after a fan remarked of their singing, "that's righteous, brothers." Their first charted single as the Righteous Brothers was "Little Latin Lupe Lu" and their first #1 was "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," produced by Phil Spector in 1964. Follow-up hits included the #1 "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and "Unchained Melody", the latter of which was actually a Hatfield solo performance that he recorded again after the success of the film Ghost, remarking to friends that he had not lost any of the high notes in his tenor range since the original recording, but had actually gained one note. The duo broke up in 1968, but returned with another hit in 1974, the #3 "Rock and Roll Heaven." The duo were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003 by Billy Joel..............Eddie
Bobby Hatfields incredible voice! He never got the recognition he deserved. F or that era Bobby along with Johnny Maestro and Gary Puckett really stood out.
Absolutely Beautiful voice, song and performance. Unforgetable beautiful music. The music of the 1950's, 60's and 70's... How can someone with such a beautiful voice not be top rated. Also due in part to the Songs they sang. Really takes me back to my younger years. Bobby Hatfield was nothing but supurb. Thank you for posting. Love it.
He did a beautiful rendition of this song. Unfortunaty was this on shin dig show. It would have been more beautiful if there was no yelling. That's okay too, it was a live performance. Perhaps can listen to the recorded version, no worry at all. Bobby had a blessed voice, he is dearly missed.
Love the way he smiles when he sings, the enjoyment of hearing him is only surpassed by seeing how much he loves sharing his beautiful voice with others. Bobby lives on for so many people who still appreciate what an exceptional talent he was, as well as those who have only come to know him more recently as I have.
Go watch them hosting the Midnight Special(its on youtube). Its a Bobbyfest. He sings He aint Heavy. It's just beautiful!!!
There is only one "Bobby Hatfield" !! A great voice and such a unique and beautiful style. Can't be mistaken for anyone else. On top of all that, he was a very handsome young man. Cathy
He wasn't just handsome. He was perfection.
@@dawnaberry8452 you
I went to high school with his cousin of his named lynn hatfield. She looked just like him. I was sad when he passed away.
Bobby had it all. See interview: Legends".
Just like another legend, he died of taking cocaine. He was in a hotel room and did not go out anymore.
The late GREAT Bobby Hatfield. One of the greatest of all time.
Yes janschwartz, he was very blessed with that voice. I cannot think of anyone in this era of music, or even when he was singing in the 60's that could ever reach those octaves. He was a counter tenor. We are still listening to his 🎶 after all this time. Bobby is dearly missed.
He was a doll. My hub and i had drinks with him after a local show. Very genuine and regulare. No airs about him at all.
Every time I hear Bobby Hatfield sing tears come to my eyes because it is so beautiful
Me too
I defy anyone to watch him and listen to that angelic voice and not be moved to tears....me too!
It's not just me then! Just want to give him😊 a great big hug, he looks so young and ernest here. Love, love, love this wonderful man. ❤
I can understand why females are screaming for Bobby Hatfield cause he sings so romantic and he ends with a remarkable pitch! The Righteous brothers a great pair for entertainment!! 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Wow can you imagine turning on the radio and hearing this
That Voice!!! OMG! Thank you Lord for blessing this earth with this beautiful soul.
Were you a fan?

To be so incredibly vocally talented and having NEVER had one professional Voice Lesson is almost incomprehensible. BOBBY WAS GREAT.
Greatest tenor ever 👌
It's called a GIFT.
Bobby majored in music in college. He has had plenty of training. You don't achieve his level of virtuosity without some training. His breath control, dynamics, phrasing... all comes from talent, training and hard work.

His song "Unchained Melody" was mine and my husband's song.

God Bless them all and may they RIP. ❤❤❤❤❤.
He absolutely had vocal training. He exhibits virtuosic vocal skill and technique, such as vowel modification, and decrescendo skill (going from loud to soft) which is very challenging.
Bobby Hatfield was one of the greatest vocalist i can think of and Unchained Melody will always have his eternal signature .
One of one?
When comes to Unchained Melody he was the GOAT. Hands down no questioning it.
Haven't you anything better to do than troll Bobby Hatfield fans? Are you a sad person?

I can understand why girls screamed when the Righteous Brothers performed! They deserved the Hall of Fame! They are great!
They also deserve an honorary Grammy!
@@dawnaberry8452 I agree with you!!.
I remember hearing this on TV, back in the day. I think Bill Medley was sick so Bobby sang a couple of solos. Amazing voice and talent.
I just love listening to him and seeing these old videos. They bring back so many childhood memories. 🌹
