@@jts3628 no rock bands I have seen do mostly pop crap. It's a bigger thing with people who don't know what they are actually talking about. An ignorant cliche
when I see people on here react to this music video. they think its a black man. But respect they love that all cultures can sing. Old music knew how to sing not like today
Blue Eyed Soul! They are Bill Medley (tall gentleman) and Bobby Hatfield. They are not brothers, but took the name after some black marines, from the El Toro Marine Base in California, heard them and said “ That’s righteous, brothers!” Please react to Unchained Melody live 1965❤️❤️❤️
Very good! The Phrase Blue Eyed Soul was originally created by a Philadelphia DJ which has alot of fantastic Blue Eyed Soul Singers. Also this song is next to Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin the most frequenty played song in the History of Radio. It was written by the Husband/Wife Team of Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil.
@@drServitis Yup, def true. If you search "Bill Medley Interview" on TH-cam, the 1st one is a vid posted 2015 by KAAB Fox San Antonio. At .042, Bill tells how they got their name from Black Marines from El Toro base (wish I could put in the link, but TH-cam seems to be deleting posts with links). There are actually multiple TH-cam interviews, of both Bill & Bobby confirming it, but this one with just Bill pretty well covers it.
Every now and then a song is released that impacts on the landscape of modern music. I think this was one of those songs, musicians at the time were like 'Woah, we've got to up our game' in terms of vocals and production.
Number one song played on the radio in twentieth century. Came out in the early 1960's and was played on all different radio stations and genres across the dial (Rock, R&B, Pop, Country, you name it). It was called "panty dropping music" back then and was responsible for making lots of babies then and now. It melts the hearts of young ladies. I've been singing for 40+ years with my lady. I guess you can say that it works with old ladies too. ;-)
Most women who heard this think they had a mad crush on one of these two. What they REALLY had was a desire for a man to love them with as much passion as this song expresses.
Bill Medley (the one with the deep voice) and Bobby Hatfield were the Righteous Brothers. The name was coined when they were playing a gig in Southern California in the early '60s and two black marines came out of the club, saw them outside, and called out, saying, "That was RIGHTEOUS, brothers!" The name stuck. "Lovin' Feeling" was their big breakout hit after the initial hit, "Little Latin Lupe Lu," which was written by Bill. Their follow-up to "Lovin' Feelin'" was "Just Once In My Life." Then they had two hits with Bobby singing solo, "Unchained Melody" and "Ebb Tide." They changed labels and recorded "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," and then their star began to fade. By the late '60s, they had broken up. Bill released a solo hit "Brown Eyed Woman," which is excellent. About an interracial relationship, it was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, who also wrote "Lovin' Feelin'" (with Phil Spector) and "Soul and Inspiration." In 1974, the Righteous Brothers reunited and had one last big hit together, "Rock and Roll Heaven." Years later "Lovin' Feelin'" and "Unchained Melody" became hits again because of their prominent roles in motion pictures. Bobby died in 2003 soon after the duo was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their induction night performance of "Lovin' Feelin'" is worth watching. Bobby had lost some of his range, but it was still a great performance. Bill now performs as one-half of the Righteous Brothers with a new partner, Bucky Heard. It ain't the same, but it's nice to see him still out there belting out the hits. On some nights, he does his own rendition of "Unchained Melody" as a tribute to Bobby. As others have mentioned, the 1965 live performance of Unchained Melody by Bobby (in a pink suit) on NBC's The Andy Williams Show is, quite possibly, the most incredible live performance of a song ever captured on video.
And also the last scene of the movie then rolls into the credits with Tomcats doing barrel rolls. I had been to Miramar NAS back in the early 80s before it became Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
I was 13 in 1964. My mother told me there was just one gift she wanted from me for Christmas that year. It was the single You've Lost That Lovin Feelin. My parents divorced early in 1965. I knew then the record was expressing her love for my father. I always remember those times when i hear this song. Such a meaningful song.
This is one of most perfect pop records ever. The song, the emotive lyrics, their performance & the production all come together flawlessly. This is -in my opinion - a pop music masterpiece.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
When Brad said it's time to split up ...hmmm I was quite sad that men think this way now..how about fighting for love!!! After the honeymoon period is over, real life dawn's..work trouble, family stuff the fun,affection of a relationship can be forgotten. But to just give up without working on it.Literraly means that Brad could be with someone for years then if things become difficult just run away. It's scary I like the 50/60s because at least men were men. I would hate to be in my 20s now everything including people are throwaway. Not everyone gets relationships that are easy and effortless for 60 years.
Bobby Hatfield had a beautiful operatic contratenor voice that he used to perfection in the live version he did of Unchained Melody in '65 on the Andy Williams Show.
Just so you know this is basically the most played song of the 20th century.. happy birthday and Its a small world actually were played more, but they do not count
Brad: "he knows what time it is"...I agree. There have been more updated and higher quality recordings of this song but there is something about this original that gives goose bumps!
With all due respect, I'd like to share my experience. I've been married for 22 years (since I was 17). We had/have a very special love for each other. You can see it in our love letters. We also had a lot of maturing to do. We've been through difficult trials and tests. The worst being the last few years. We lost that "lovin' feeling" over the years. Then at 13 years into marriage, we humbled ourselves and chose to honor each other. Had the marriage we always dreamed of for 6 years. Then the biggest trial hit and we were brought to the brink. It was so hard and terrifying to go through it and think of what we might lose! We lost that "lovin' feeling" again. We pressed on and did not give up! I got on my face and cried out to God like never before. I struggled to humble myself continually and apply biblical principles as I always tried to do. I fought for my marriage and family. My husband responded and humbled himself as well. We acknowledge our lack of wisdom and mistakes. We are slowly restoring our marriage. People need to toughen up, humble themselves, quit being selfish, do what's right, stay committed, and not walk away from a relationship, especially marriage, just because it's gotten difficult and we don't feel the love. My marriage may seem like or even be an exception, but we all have opportunity to grow and learn. We get stronger as we overcome. I think our marriage will be better then ever. That's my admonishment.
When the credits roll and we’re introduced to all the players… And the last shot is two F-14’s speeding away in the distance?… Yeah, the F-14 was the star of that show, no doubt..
Now you've heard it life will never be the same a true love cry... we all feel it deep in our minds forever/ always uncertain if your lover feels the same way.. ( CLASSIC)...
THIS is why I Love you guys and your reaction videos! Ive heard this song my whole life. And just like Lex's typical reactions to music, I got totally lost in the beautiful voices and sound of it, without ever really digesting just how sad and heartbreaking the song's lyrics are. Brad makes me really listen to the lyrics and dissect their meanings now.
Crooners starting to scream and cry out was the crack in the door that Elvis squeezed his swivelling hips through. And those hips knocked the door open so wide that the Beatles and all of their long hair could fit through it. Rock got a slow, subtle and gentle start with people simply letting more of the natural emotions out of themselves, without the need to mute or diminish, or make them more socially palatable for others. That what rock was ultimately about. A rebellion against control. And this song ends with them starting to let that control convert to raw emotion.
1965 - When segregation was still practiced widely (whatever might be on the statute book) and this song was played on every radio station across the country. The power of music to reach the soul has seldom been better exemplified. It is the most-played song of the 20th Century in the US.
Lol Brad is all stoic but feeling it, and Lexi is in a trance but playing it cool… that final solo with the high low is the real deal
🤣❤
Now I want Bill Medley to team up with someone just to record "Good. Take your stuff and leave." 😀
I like the start but then past halfway it gets way too wild for my liking
This is music right here. No autotune just great voices.
Thank you !!! Just real talent !

This song , it is masterpiece in all levels. Hard to match and cannot surpass.
It is one of those masterpieces.
:) ty
The subtle growl in Bill Medley’s voice when he hits those few notes is pure gold!
That's actually called vocal fry and is hard to make sound natural.
I’m 72 years old and my grandkids can’t believe how cool we were in the 60’s.
lol, y'all were the greatest
The live 1965 version of Unchained Melody is a MUST.

People used to fight for love. You have to if you want it to go the distance.

We called it Belly Rubbing music when it came out in '64!

Not so - it's just kept you guys young, that's all...
Pure Soul...

Bill Medley has the most amazing baritone voice I’ve ever heard
and raspiness to it
Yes, but everyone falls for Bobby's anazing counter tenor range.. They were just perfect together.
This was the most listened to song on radio of the 20th century. Calling it a classic is an understatement
This was the most played song on the radio for the 20th century.
This was the most played song on tv n radio in the 20th century
No auto tune back then! lol. They were awesome! When they sing it just reaches you in a different way....just full of heart & soul!

No duo sounds better than this right here.
Tom Cruise: "I think she's lost that loving feeling."
Goose: "Oh no she hasn't!"
Tom: "Yes, Goose, she has. Sorry."
Goose: I hate it when she does that lol
My favorite part in the movie

One of the background singers in this video is Cher.
Blue Eyed Soul, Blue Eyed Soul man….
Brad's happy. Lyrics laid right out at the beginning of the somg
It certainly seems that Brad has to understand the lyrics to like the song. I haven't seen them separate inside like the music but not the lyrics.
This brings back memories of 105.7 Magic FM in Cleveland, and of course, Top Gun.
@Cade Harvey O-H-
Goosebumps!
No computers, no sound boards, just old fashion talent. You just don't see that much any more.
Blue Eyed Soul! RIP Bobby Hatfield.
One of the classic songs of all time. They were the reason some music is called blue-eyed soul.
Loved this song since I was a little kid. 😀😀
Righteous Brothers & The Blossoms - Night Time Is The Right Time. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
The most listened to song of the 20th century
I can feel their heart's breaking while singing..not sure if it's about either of them, still WOW so much EMOTION with the words!!! LUV IT!!!
PURE TALENT
This song never gets old and never fails to give me chills. Just pure awesome vocals.
I always cry.................can relate.
100% Brad. "At that point, is it a healthy relationship?" had me spit out my drink and laugh like You Right
When Brad said it's time to split up ...hmmm

Iconic. Was probably played in 100 movies and commercials.
That performance gave me goosebumps!
Figure it's about a half century old...and yet...wow!...Still brings it home....Timeless....Solid.....Gold....
Definitely one of the best old school cuts of all time
I've read that this was the most played song in the 20th century.
Probably because of Top Gun. 🤣

OUCH!!! Dang Lex! Dropping da bombs there at the end!
Their faces say more than words, no woman could ever feel loss of love like a man does, its evolutionary,
My dad and my uncle's would sing this song so much my dad actually could sing and could sound like the baritone brother
Great vocal duo! Both had beautiful voices! Love this song! Unchained Melody is a beautiful song too!
My girlfriend way back when was in Vegas and Bill Medley called her up on stage and sang a love song to her. ❤
thay called this blue eyed soul back in the day .
"He knows what time it is". Best comment ever. Thanks.
When you hear Bobby sing unchained melody it's possibly the best voice of all time.

It was genius to put these two great voices (both could go solo) together and create this magical combination
One of only a few reasons why I'm glad I was born in 1961. This song has been with me all my life.
Sometimes that's when you can begin your relationship going back and working it out
Lol what a line to end on got me rolling...
Song became a big hit from the movie Top Gun, the bar scene with Mav and Goose singing this song serenading to chick sitting at the bar 👍🤘😎🤘

"Good, get your stuff and leave!" Lol, I almost fell off my chair! So glad I found Brad & Lex's channel.
