Your should watch them singing You’ve lost that loving feeling
There's a great live version of this 🎵
You'd definitely know why Bill Medley didn't sing unchanged melody if you listened to you've lost that loving feeling lol
there is no comparison between that and this one though. You can't top this song....this version.
@@wolfman22the live version to watch was produced by Phil Spector and his “Wall of Sound”. One of the back up singers was Phil Spector’s friend we know as Cher. per BMI the song You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling was also the #1 requested/played song of the 20th century.
@@ladykayceyThe most widely played song in the 20th Century was “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” . You can’t go wrong with the Righteous Brothers!
I met my husband in 1965. He bought me this album. We got married 1966. I was. 16. & He was 19. My love song till I die. 💕
yep...........same only married in 64 and the love of my life just passed ...this song was my favorite when he was on sea duty for 2 years. It melts my heart to this day
Loads of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. No auto tune or gimmicks just pure talent. The studio version used in the movie 'Ghost' was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his parents were watching him perform live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch how when he hits the high notes at the end his face does not contort like other singers when they hit a high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.
Not a patch on the version by The Goons produced by George Martin in 1955 - managed without the Bobbie Hatfield vocal gymnastics.

No one can truthfully detract from Bobby Hatfield’s performance here.
No one!
Yup. Best version ever - even by Bobby Hatfield.
Shivers go down my neck and back every time I hear this song!
Amen what a God given talent
This version is the GOAT. No other beats it.
Nothing even comes close.
correct!!!!!!
This is Bobby's song. And always will be.
Best version ever. Wonderful vocals. Brings back memories. Thankyou ❤
And just think that he sang this with perfection while sick with a head cold.
That is Bobby Hatfield and this is the definitive version of Unchained Melody. Incredible voice. No auto-tune, no nothing; There were not a lot of things one could do to process the audio back in the 1960's, especially live! Pure jaw-dropping talent. Thanks for this one.
No one has sang this song better than Bobby. He owns this song. I was in high school when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. I'm 75 yrs and never get tired of listening to him sing this song. His voice is so pure and raw talent. No auto tunes. RIP Bobby! We still love you and miss hearing your beautiful voice! ❤
The GOAT!!
I have the same memory. On the radio we would crank it up and just listen!
75 Y Old here and this is the BEST of the BEST! RIP Bobby; we all love you!
Im massively into the mega Brits bands, they were the biggest of all time BUT I think this is maybe the one best performances of all time and the best song I have ever seen done, its beats it all. Not just hype like the mega bands got but a masterclass like no other.
That cute little smile at the end was to his mother who was in the audience.
As a mom I can only imagine the pride she felt seeing her child perform on stage.
Back when singers could sing like this live!!!! And sound incredible
Bobbies mother wAs in the Audience. This was the first time she heard her son sing live. She must have been so proud.
I have NEVER heard ANYONE nail a song like he did with this one. Just the most amazing vocal performance I have ever heard. I can''t watch this video enough. You two are very fun to watch react to videos. You both are fantastic.
So so glad you reacted to this, in my opinion this is possibly one of the greatest live performances by any artist ever, absolutely astonishing
Welcome to the era of "Blue Eyed Soul" Live, no auto tune, and a microphone the size of a popsicle! The music of my youth!!!
No auto-tune or gimmicks. Pure real voice. This song has been covered over 650 times
If you haven't already, you should watch the 1967 recording of Tom Jones singing "I'll never fall in love again". His voice is phenomenal, especially considering he sang it live.
Yes, another of the great performances, for sure
I was about to make exactly the same suggestion😄Great choice.
Absolutely!!!
Me too!!! Please go listen to Tom he was incredible singing live, and in black and white television it seemed more special too. No autotune in those days
I was just about to suggest that, Love me some Tom Jones.
I lived in Germany working for the USA Armed Forces administratively during the first Gulf War and my brother-in-law was in Iraq, I was with my big sister, his wife who was incredibly strong but missed him so much. This song was the song that my sister and other partners listened to, it was played the day the guys came back and everyone was in tears of joy, that's what this song means to me. Love from Scotland x
Thank you for sharing this. A song of being separated from and longing for one's love written for a prison movie "Unchained" in 1955, made a big hit by the Righteous Brothers in 1965, experienced by many involved in the Vietnam War during the 1960s, revived as a hit by the movie "Ghost" in 1990, experienced again by some involved in the Gulf War in 1990-1991, being revived again by Reaction Videos, and your sharing your experience here in 2024. 🎶✨
If you love live songs listen to the both of them singing You Lost That Loving Feeling & Soul and Inspiration you’ll love them .
I'm 73 and this was my era. We had the best music, cars. What a time to be alive, so glad you love this.
I'm 73 also, and it's the lip bite that gets me every time.
I’m only 72, but this still brings tears to my eyes ❤
I'm 77 and can't agree with you more. I met my wife of 52 years in Altus Oklahoma she was 18 and I was 20. I drove a '57 Chevy two door hardtop sport coupe. She drove a '55 Chevy two door post. I had long bleached blonde hair. She was a good looking blonde , resembled actress Carol Lynly. She's now 74 and still goodlooking and I'm 77 as homely as ever😊. I really miss the wonderful music.
After 50+ years, this is still regarded by many as the best "live* performance ever .
We were still watching this on black and white tv's in 1965.
What really blows my mind, is that apparently they've just finished a song together (since recently I saw this unedited version with the interview included for the first time), 'cause by the looks of it he's still out of breath, and then immediately he does this incredible and flawless performance of one of the greatest romantic song ever made.
th-cam.com/video/NsZKI9Z88nA/w-d-xo.html this is the song
I do listen to this over and over again. Especially enjoyable when watching others react for the first time.
One of the finest voices in music history. RIP Bobby.
To younger audiences today they are amazed that this is live. We forget that most of the time these performers were working in the clubs all over the world, day in and day out, far more than either big concerts and albums of today. And, of course, they had no pre-records or autotune so they had to sing it.
I was in Vietnam when I first heard this song ... the tears streamed down my face then, and still do to this day when I hear it again.
❤
Recorded in the days before any of the mechanical and electrical vocal inhancement existed. This was just pure talent 👏 😊
it is the look at the end. So humble. What a song and what a singer
I always loved the look at the end as well. Remember reading that Bobby's parents were in the audience. That must have made it a bit special.
Real singer with a pure natural sound - No sound mixers in those days
I was 7 years old when this came out! They were absolutely the singers of our very soul! We had a cherished time to grow up in!♥️♥️♥️
Written and composed for the (1955) Prision movie "Unchained" by multi-award-winning composer Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret. This performance done ten years later in 1965 (Live) on the Andy Williams NBC Television Show. Has become the quintessential version of (Unchained Melody) of them all. This is the version every singer and orchestras have used ever since.
The NBC Studio Orchestra and the singing of the late great Counter Tenor Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers' is considered by many in the business as the greatest live television performance ever in music history. The host of the show Andy Williams said it best. "Beautiful." Rest in Peace Bobby Hatfield. You left us all a great legacy of music and song.
Righteous Brothers "Soul and Inspiration"
The one and only true rendition of this song❤ ....perfect❤❤❤❤
That’s Andy Williams hosting the show. He could sing a bit as well. “I can’t take my eyes off of you.” Being one of many hits that spring to mind.
Also, "Love is a Many Splendored Thing."
And "Solitaire."
Not to mention Moon River and The Impossible Dream.
Yeah Andy could sing just a bit.
The fast version of his cant help falling in love with you is my and my dads fave of his.
Not even Elvis can compare to Bobby Hatfields rendition of this song, and the orchestra backing him is simply amazing as well.
He also had a cold. He'd been sick for a few days. You can hear it in their short interview. And still sang it with perfection.
I love Elvis but this is absolutely Bobby's song ❤
What greater possible tribute could there be for Bobby Hatfield?
He's STILL making the ladies melt, twenty years AFTER his death...
This song was bittersweet for those of us in the 60's who had loved ones fighting in Vietnam, esp. the part when Bobby sings "I'll be coming home, wait for me". Two of my dear friends died during the war; one was my "second brother", Pat aged 20 & the other was a neighbor, Bill, aged 21.
I can't listen to this without tears in my eyes. May they rest in Glory 🙏
This may be the finest live performance, ever.
Absolutely the greatest singular live vocal rock performance ever. Period. There is no parallel.
Hi Guys as this song was just one of Righteous Brothers singing!!! Then you really have to listen to there song "YOUVE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING" this was the song that made The Righteous Brothers famous and you see how good they were singing together and Youve Lost That Loving Feeling is one of the most iconic song of the 1960s and you Guys will love this song.
Great song ❤
Although the Righteous Brothers recorded Unchained Melody around 10 years after it was written, it is generally regarded as their song. You mentioned the 'original' a few times...... if you meant the Elvis version, that was a few years later I believe. Bobby Hatfield had no auto tune and no fancy tricks, just a man and a beautiful voice ..... it you'd like to hear Bobby and Bill perform together, probably their most famous (and best) song is 'You've lost that loving feeling'.
Bill Medley was the producer for this song. Bobby Hatfield's mother was in the audience seeing her son perform on stage for the first time.
This considered the best television recording by a male performer in history! Bobby Hatfield was unparalleled in vocals.
No body can sing 🎵 this song like him.❤❤ I ❤❤❤ love
This is THE version of this song!
Bobby Hatfield was only 25 when he performed this song...magical
Well done for not taking over most of the screen, so rare.
Loved this! I was 11 when this aired and life was kind of rough in my family at that time,but we enjoyed turning on the t.v.(though ours was still black and white) and escaping for a bit by watching shows like Andy Williams and ,of course, Ed Sullivan. This performance is golden! What a voice…what a song! I love seeing it again through the eyes of a younger generation! Jess’s hand over heart and sliding down in that chair says it all!😉😂 Great reaction,guys!❤️❤️
A pleasure to see a comment from someone who knows how to use commas correctly.
The Righteous Brothers performed on the Ed Sullivan Variety Hour TV show singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" . You'll want to hear it...this is a live version also. "You Lost That Loving Feeling" by both of them is on the Shindig TV show. They were regulars on that show from 1964-1966. Bobby Hatfield has a solo "Summertime" from that show. After he finishes, Bill Medley sings a classic solo "Old Man River" from the movie Showboat. Their 1st hit written by Bill Medley, at age 19, was "Little Latin Lupe Lu" they sang & it was video taped on Shindig too. Been lov'n the Righteous Brothers music since it hit the radio back in the 60's. It's timeless like their talent. They are the reason the term "Blue Eyed Soul" was invented, by a radio DJ in Philly, to hint to his audience these incredible soulful brothers may not look like you think they do.
No one should cover this masterpiece, even Elvis.
Yes you're so right in your comment, it was "our" song back in the 60's and it's the one I go back to listen to when feeling melancholic about a certain ❤
I'm glad you decided to react to this version I loved seeing your reaction to this video, one of those special moments.
Back then they could sing. No autotune, just pure talent
Guys, you've GOT to hear Bobbi Hatfield singing "Summertime" LIVE!! It'll blow your mind a second time!! The man is unbelievable! ....true raw talent... blue eyed soul!
Their version of "You’ve lost that loving feeling" was named the song of the 20th century.!!
Their version ? Theirs is the original written for them by Phil Spector, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil
No computerised trickery, no autotune, just pure talent!
Doesn't it just make your heart melt ♥️
This was my wedding song in 1983 and we are still going strong after 41 years. This still moves us.
Santa
I was 15 ,this was always on the juke box in the coffee bar in uk ,the owner let us hang out there all day ,best times ,best music flower power on its way ,no era like it 🌺🌺🌺
Gone for 40 years and still gets the women going, raw talent
Probably the best live vocal performance of all time. All the extra runs he addd in compared to the original recording plus the triple high notes at the end which were also not in the original…Just phenomenal ❤️ For another incredible live performance check out the 1967 version of Tom Jones doing I’ll never fall in love again
Lots of guys in Vietnam at the time listening to this song...I grew up in the 50's...had friends in the war...they loved it.
Bobby dedicated this song to the Vietnam soldiers.
Considered the greatest love song of all time.
Ah yes, my dose of blue eyed soul music. It doesn't get any better than this.
I lived through the 1960s and the music then, was fantastic. One interesting point, his mother was in the audience with her friends and this was the first time she saw him singing.
Many artists have sung this song. NOBODY sings it like Bobby Hatfield. This will forever be his song. This was how entertainers dressed. Live performance. No second takes. His parents were in the audience. No pressure here. This is the music of my generation. This was written in 1955 for a movie called "Unchained". Check out Bobby's "Ebb Tide". Whoever remastered this did not get the eye color right until the end of the song. The Righteous Brothers were known as "Blue-eyed Soul".
Not only was he nervous about parents, but he also was battling a cold that night.
Yes, I was one of those who listened to and danced to this with my husband-to-be. I still love it as well as many of the Righteous Brothers song. Amazing talent!
Can you imagine standing on stage with just a mic & nailing it. He was sick that night but his mom was in the audience & he wanted to sing it for her..
His voice is a standard light tenor for the first verse... then he opens his mouth for the words "STILL MINE" and the full power of his countertenor voice blows you away.
I’m nearly in tears no auto tune just so so pure
No modern gimmicks, pure talent, and well-groomed too.
back then there was pure singing, no equipment to help them sing on key. Just pure talent!
Yes, I really loved this song and so many artists and versions came out internationally...
Just AMAZING !! BEAUTIFUL. Cant be beat. What an era. Peace Love and Flowers. Such great memories. NZ
No auto-tune, no synthetic EQ, no editing. Nothing but 100% pure talent and story telling! Today's generation doesn't know what music really is. So sad!
¡Unbelievable!... WHAT ONE HAS TO READ. Dear gentleman of the 20th century. Apparently, you DO NOT GET OUT OF THAT NEGLIGENT CLICHÉ that some of your generation constantly repeat like a plague invading the world. ¿Why do you generalize? ¿How can you assure that my generation of the current century DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT MUSIC? ¿Where do you get that from? ¿Who says so? ¿You? Please do not make me laugh sir! ¿Do you think that only reggaeton exists as the ONLY CULTURAL MANIFESTATION IN THIS CENTURY? (Where do these people come from? For God's sake!)
I knew this would melt your heart Jess it shows on your face
You've lost that loving feeling live, amazing. Great reaction, loving you guys. 👍🏴
I love you young people's reaction to MY MUSIC. Danced many steps to this during high school sock hops and all the great friends. Love this and thanks. Remember yesteryear friends are the absolute best. Thanks for sharing.
U N B E L I E V A B L E ! MAGIC.
Love your reaction, to this great performance !! Bobby was a true "Counter tenor" and in the last few notes he used his "head voice". He never needed to use falsetto.
In this song Bobby uses 21 notes across 2-1/2 octaves. What a SINGER !! Keep up the good work !! also that night he had a slight cold and his parents were in the audience for the first time.
I`m 74 and must say that the 60`s were a great time to be alive and to be a young person. Yes it was magical ,so many great love songs in the air.
What most people forget is that it was also war time and Uncle Sam was looking for a lot of good young men.(Vietnam). It was also a pretty strict society. Long hair was frowned upon but it was a time of change and rebellion by the young people. Music led the way. Love songs then the British invasion and hippies.... Can you believe that the Beatles first appeared wearing suit and ties and Elvis had to tone it down a bit on Television..
I'm only 5 years behind you, it was a wonderful time to grow up musically speaking, not so great socially, tough years growing up with daily body counts from 'nam an riots
I was eight when this was sung, the 60's are still my favourite era.
I graduated high school in 1964, so I was right there with Jess’ grandparents! I have viewed so many reactions to this incredible performance and found yours to be the most enjoyable to watch. Thank you for exhibiting such reverence for this song and Bobby Hatfield’s performance!
Bill Medley’s “I didn’t think it was going to be a hit” was used for the Andy Williams TV skit only. The Righteous Brothers would perform a solo on each album. BOTH wanted to sing “Unchained Melody” as their solo. Bill Medley later said that he was glad that Bobby Hatfield won the “coin toss” because of Bobby’s amazing performance. Although the song has been covered hundreds of times, Bobby Hatfield absolutely “owns” Unchained Melody!
What is even more amazing about this Bobby Hatfield performance… Bobby suffered from extreme stage fright. It is evident in his breathing during the introduction. In addition, he had been battling a head cold AND his mother was in the audience to watch her son perform live, on TV, for the first time!
I encourage you to watch both Righteous Brothers’ live performance of “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” (black & white version). Incidentally, one of the backup singers was a young Cher. Both men were born in 1940, which made them 24-25 years old in both of these performances.
th-cam.com/video/uOnYY9Mw2Fg/w-d-xo.html
There really wasn't a coin toss, just a tall tale. Bobby brought it to the studio to be his album solo. He had been singing it for years, even before he met Bill, with his group the Variations. Bill, however, did produce (not Spector) it and played piano and sang background vocals.
Great reaction, Jess and Mike! Listening to your conversation at the beginning, i couldn't help but smile and think - you've heard the rest now listen to the best. IMO, no one else has ever sung this song like Bobbie Hatfield!
Bobby sang this song while having a serious head cold, and still one of the best performances ever recorded!❤❤❤
This was my favorite song when I was in high school and still is❤. Bobby was the best 😊
I was 11 years old when Bobby did this. There was talk when I was a bit older, that the birth rate jumped a lot 9 months after he did this performance.
Watch them doing "You've Lost That Loving Feelin"... Magic!!
they sing one called 'Rock n Roll Heaven' is about the artist that have passed on and how by now they must have one Hell of a band up there in heaven.....came out 1974-75
My wife and I spent many evenings dancing and listening to Greg Topper at the Sheraton North of Disneyland. On occasion Bobby Hatfield would show up and sing with his friend,
Topper. Some of the best live Rock 'n Roll ever. What great memories.
This might be the best live performance of any song ever performed.
I love this. They're so sweet, funny, genuine, handsome, classy, and incredibly talented. Love their southern accents too. Thanks for posting.
Both Bobby and Bill grew up in Orange county, (think Disneyland) CA - no accents just style
As a teen inna sixties, at dances this was always a 'Ladies Choice' (They chose whom to dance with). The girls would hold us so tight as if Bobby were singing to them. Later on in Nam it became our anthem for being away from home for so long. "...and time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much. Are you still mine?" At night you'd hear this coming from one of the hootches (barracks tents) and it would bring tears.
One of the few live versions, better than the studio version. Certainly one of the best live performances of all time
I am 68 years old and still get the same feeling I felt as a teenager when I hear this song.
I was a "fly on the wall", I actually heard this song for the first time during my first tour in Vietnam!

Bobby was 25 years old at the time. This IS the original. He is in the rock hall of fame.
The original was released in 1955 and had been a hit for three previous singers before the Righteous Brothers. Bobby's original was recorded as an album track and not intended for single release... Phil Specter, who owned their contract at that time, chose to put it on the B side of the Righteous Brothers song 'Hung on You'
The original was in a 1950's movie "Unchained" which is about prisoners, hence the name.
And Bill was actually the producer for this song. Phil Spector didn't think it would be any good so he had Bill act as producer and gave him full production credit. Talk about finding a corner and kicking youself!
totally agree, that was a brilliant moment. you really need to see them singing you've lost that loving feeling live too now. it's so good. cheers :D enjoyed that a lot
You have just witnessed the greatest live performance ever.
They have a huge catalog of hits on TH-cam and quite a few have been used in movies. They were regulars along with Glen Campbell on the weekly Shindig show and it was the R&B songs with the show's own band, back up singers and dancers that had us up dancing and laughing. They brought the house down every week with the way they let it rip. Loved your spot on reactions to this amazing singer.
No auto tune just pure talent
Just imagine how many babies have been made because of this song 😄
Ahh, the good ole days when entertainers, celebrities and professional athletes had class!!!!!
INSANE PERFECTION! ❤❤WOW!!
