Apparently he was nervous doing this performance, because his parents were in the audience. That was the cause of the huge smile at the end.
So I heard...
Awww! That's so, sweet. I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.🙏😍👍
He smiled because he had hit his notes perfectly and it was first time mother had been to public performance
Not only was his mother in the audience, but he'd had a really nasty cold and he'd been concerned that the live performance would let everyone down.
Obviously it wasn't a problem, because he delivered a performance that still has a massive emotional impact nearly 60 years down the line.
He had a terrible cold, and should not have been singing. EDIT: What Haley said.
I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song, no auto tunes, just pure raw talent. RIP Bobby! ❤❤❤❤
Andy williams could sing a good song
he definatly owns this song
It's very unusual watching this group of people, who are very culturally different to us, appreciate this music and the song.
I love these people. They are so clean, so honest, so perceptive. They view these artists through a child’s eyes, without prejudice, and make such beautiful, unexpected observations.
Totally x
Abdul is one of my favourite reactionists because whatever the content he just keeps quite and tries to soak it all in and THEN when asked or when it's over he will tell you his opinion.I think we can all learn a lot from this sir. I can feel the wisdom.
My thoughts exactly. I love the way he focuses and dissects every performance. Wise man indeed.
Exactly, too many interruptions and pauses in such an amazing song and short performance 😢

They're listening so intently
Now they should hear both of them doing " You've Lost That Loving Feeling".
YES!!! I hope they do.
He spent a lot of time describing how the two "brothers" have quite a different sound to their voices to only show one of them. Surely they'll do that song next.
"(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" is another good one, but "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" definitely takes the cake.
it'll be pretty awkward explaining why a song is a "panty dropper"
Wisdom transcends literacy sometimes. These gentlemen amaze me with their depth. Much, much respect to them all.
They're all very open and appreciative, but Abdul just gets it. He's in touch with art.
he is a poet himself, so appreciative of all creativity and art. a very wise man.
This is a beautiful song, and his voice was also a thing of beauty. This was performed for a live sudience, not in a studio. His mother was there, too. How proud she must have been.
Now you will need to show them one with both "brothers" so they can hear what you told about the group.
Hi Brenda hope you're doing great. Looks like you know well what I asked Mashoque in the end, though that segment was deleted. I asked him if he thinks we should listen to both of the duo sometime and he said: I was gonna say the same 😄
@@TRYBALS Hello, Adnan. I'm doing well, thank you. I hope the same for you. I was surprised that you talked about the group and their unique voices, but gave them a solo to start with. But that left them wanting more, so it was probably a good idea.
I love when these 3 tribal elders are listening to one of our greatest songs of old. They really dissect the words and feeling well!!!! These guys are awesome human beings. Thanks so much for posting. I never miss them now.
They're such lovely people..wise and innocent. Wowx
Many singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. No auto tune or gimmicks just pure talent. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his parents were watching him sing live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch when he hits the high notes at the end he does not contort his face like most singers do when reaching a high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.
This was my Dad's favorite song and group. Before he died, Dad got to meet the singer! He was spraying for bugs 🐛 at a mansion one day, and Bill Medley walked in!😮 Dad didn't know whose house it was. He said he was a huge fan (he was a teenager when this song was popular), and Bill Medley treated him like an honored guest, showed him his music room w all the awards, everything. Spraying for insects isn't a glamorous job😂, so it meant even more that this music legend treated him so well.
When my Dad was sick and dying, I used to bring earphones to the hospital, and we'd watch or listen to things together ❤️. It always started and ended w this song. It was his favorite til the end. I miss my Dad, even though I'm 50.😢 But this song always makes me smile.
I never knew that song was written in 1930, and my Dad didn't either. My Dad was born in 1943. So, the song is older than he was! I'll never forget the kindness this singer showed my working-class father. Total respect. - 🌴 just me in Palm Springs, California, USA, Earth 🌎 ♥️ 🌴
righteous by name and righteous by nature. thank you for sharing that beautiful story.
Wonderful story and memories ! Love how this song and singer are being shared for miles all in this small space❤
No, this song was NOT written in 1930. It was written for the movie "Unchained" in 1955. There were many recordings of it. The Righteous Brothers Bobby Hatfield made a recording of it and this performance on the Andy Williams Show on television in 1965.
Extraordinary to see the insight of his guests and of their careful observation of every nuance of Bobby's performance and every facial expression. They have an amazing insight into human emotions and made observations about the performance that, even after seeing this clip dozens of times over the years, I had not noticed.
They were a very unusual group for their time. As you were telling your participants about how they became known as the "Righteous Brothers" there is a back story. In the Black community (African Americans), Brother (and sister) were how they referred to each other. Likewise, "righteous" was slang for something excellent or amazing. The story goes that the duo had performed in a club and when they were leaving a Black gentleman in the audience said, "That was righteous, brothers." A high compliment. The Black music community also developed a genre that came to be known ss "soul." The Righteous Brothers music was called "blue-eyed soul" because they were white guys singing soul music.
Thank you brenda. I had heard "blue-eyed soul" before but forgot why. Now I'll never forget🥰
Yep you’re so right 👍👍
Very interesting! Love learning something new, thanks!
Thank u so much for this beautiful story!! It’s an interesting one!!
❤ goosebumps with this song .love their respect for different music .it unites us all 🙏
I'm an American that just so happened upon this video. I really enjoyed following along with these fine gentlemen! Very good explanations, emotions, and reactions!
I am in Tennessee in the United States. I really enjoy watching your reactions to some of the Greatest Music from the US. Thank you and God Bless. 🙏🏻
Brilliant from Bobby, and love the reaction from our Elders.
Oh wow their cloths are absolutely beautiful. What vivid lively colors. I'll bet everything is handmade which makes it that much better.
It saddens me to hear Mr. Abdul call himself illiterate. Even if he is unable to read printed words, he has the vocabulary of someone with far more formal education than he probably received.
More importantly, he has both the intelligence to remember SO MANY things that he has learned along the way, and the wisdom to know how to integrate all of that data and apply it to other situations.
I would argue that it is actually more difficult to retain all of that information in your brain, without being able to write some of it down to refer to later.
That's probably also why his understanding of poetry and song lyrics always seems to be the most accurate of the group, as well as his interpretations of the visual aspects of the music videos.
So for someone who perhaps never learned how to read and write, I would argue that he's actually quite a bit smarter than most of us with a lot of silly alphabet soup after our names.
he is a poet. kudos to him.
I agree. He might be literally illiterate, but he's not illiterate in the insulting way the word is often used. He radiated wisdom and peace.
He's illiterate in that he can't read or write, but when it comes to understanding music, poetry, etc., he is an expert.
Salam, bahut bahut shukriya to all for the analyze of this song! and shukriya for the song, it was really beautiful
The song was written for a movie titled "Unchained", 10 years before this performance. It's about a man in prison longing for his love and hoping she waits for him to be released. That's why "time goes by so slowly".
I just love listening to you guys and your reactions.
Just beautiful, this song preformed by Bobby Hatfield is THE most well known version of this lovely song. It's been played everywhere since 1964 even featured in the movie called the Ghost
This is the way entertainers dressed way back when. The audience dressed up too. You need to listen to Bobby sing "Ebb Tide". RIP Bobby. This song was written in 1955 for a movie called "Unchained" about a man in prison. Hundreds of people have sung this song....NOBODY sings it like Bobby Hatfield.
Bobby Hatfield ❤my teenage crush !
#his mom was watching him from the audience…the smile at the end , he was smiling at her !
Incredible rendition, I always liked it, too.
Man this is a very good video 👏👏I completely enjoyed it, your choice is this song is spot on.👍
This is one of the most played songs of the 20th Century. ❤❤❤
Very good reaction and excellent analysis of the song and the singer. Bobby Hatfield will always be one of the greatest singers and interpreters of a song.
This was beautiful…❤
Dear @Trybals, I am a Christian in Canada. My ancestry is Irish. I would like you to know that we can see the explanation given to you about this song, translated into English words, and it is very accurate. So it gives me great pleasure to see you accept it as truth, so that you can better understand the meaning of this great song. It came out in 1965. I was 16 years old at that time.
This man's name is Bobby Hatfield. He usually sang with his friend Bill Medley.
Together they were known as the "Righteous Brothers", although they were not born as brothers. Another song they sang together was called "You have lost that loving feeling". Both of these songs were immensely popular in North America for many years in the 1965-1975 period. And even to this day. In truth, the two of these men were not only popular for the songs they sung, but for the incredible style that they used with their voices. They had truly amazing voices with wonderful ability to use those voices to the maximum pleasure of the audiences. They were wonderful singers who presented sounds that had never before been heard in North America. They were truly wonderful in every way. th-cam.com/video/uOnYY9Mw2Fg/w-d-xo.html
God bless you all. I love all of you. Much love to you from Canada. 💗
May God Bless you all! 🙏
Thank you so much for this reaction video. I truly appreciated it 😊
I love the editing style, and the set is always so beautiful. Always happy to see these folks
These videos are always a treat, these gentlemen have such wonderful insights and reactions. ❤
Adnan, this one is special. This is my parents' song. In the US many couples have a "song" that is " theirs". It's hard to explain lol. But this one is my parents. They've been married for over 55 years! I've grown up listening to this song and I will never not think of them when I hear it. To hear these gentlemen's perspective of it was delightful. Thank you so much for this
The gentlemen commented on sorrow hiding behind the singer's smile. Smokey Robinson's 'Tears of a Clown' might be a nice song for these guys to take a look at.
That demonstrates that Bobby's rendition of that song is a universal work of art!
Just like people change through the years, so does music. It was a great song of all time back then.
There was an interview with Bill Medley and he was offered the song first and he turned it down saying, he didn't think it would be a hit, so Bobby Hatfield did it and Bill Medley said he said he was kicking himself after.
That was a joke. The real reason is this song is better suited for Bobby's counter-tenor.
That was a joke which became a rumor. Bobby Hatfield sang this song with his original group The Variations, and said in an interview "I had that one in my pocket".
The words this man sings come from the experience of being in prison, chained. He is going back home hopefully to find his love there still waiting for his return. ❤️
I love this version with Bobby Hatfield singing this live. He was a bit nervous because his mom was in the audience but he had nothing to be nervous about. He did such an amazing performance here. I hope you'll get a chance to show both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley singing together. Definitely would suggest "You've Lost That Loving Feeling".
If I may offer another suggestion, The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun". It's a brother and sister group. Karen and Richard Carpenter. Richard wrote most of their songs and Karen has one of the most incredible and consistent voices. She was also an awesome drummer. Richard wrote "We've Only Just Begun" after hearing the chorus part of the song on a commercial for a bank. They're from my hometown of Downey, California and both went to my high school, Downey High. Karen Carpenter was in the band, as was I, so I found some things about her in the band room from time to time.
After they renovated the school, they now have a memorial wall dedicated to The Carpenters as well as other famous people that went there. You've already listened to one, James Hetfield, the lead singer from Metallica. He went to Downey High his freshman/sophmore year. He bought his first guitar there from another kid at the school and taught himself to play it. 😎👍
The Carpenters' "We've only just begun" was sung at my wedding immediately after the ceremony as we were walking back down the aisle to leave the sanctuary. (We got married in 1975)
Wow, so very sophisticated; reactions & interpretations spot on ! Their explanations of love & the pain it can cause are moving and romantic. Thank you, I really enjoyed this.
When I hear this I experience his LONGING for his love. He HUNGERS for her touch. So beautiful
Oh My God! "Even if he gets someone else to love him, He'd never feel the same that he did before! That is me!!!!!
This is very interesting...such different cultures and yet they appreciate the singer, his voice and the song. So lovely to know that SOME things are the same for us all...love. These men are quite poetic the way they understand and speak about the feelings of the song. We also often love the sound of Eastern music as well, even when we cant understand a word.
Give the 3 gentlemen a listen to "Your the Voice" by John Farnham and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Oh! That's a good suggestion!
I too was 15yrs when I heard this ( on radio...we couldn't afford a TV ).I waited impatiently for it to be played again and thankfully didn't have to wait too long.The station was inundated with requests.My parents bought the SINGLE and a record player.We ( the whole family enjoyed all kinds of music together ) I MISS THOSE DAYS.
A bit of history of the song was so very interesting, and so were the elders' reactions 👍🙏💙
Very wise, gentlemen! You are speaking many truths. Blessings to you.
I can no longer hear this song without picturing the "Ghost" scene in my head ❤️
It would be great to see a reaction for The Band and The Staple Singers - The weight ( The Last Waltz ).
Good video, helps us understand how other feel, from other parts of the globe
Always amazed with Chacha's wisdom. Also want to say all of the reactors are wonderful, but I most align with Mashoque's take on things. I really appreciate this channel!
I find it interesting that they had to be explained the word hunger and how it was used in this song.
The 3:27 Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? I know that reference! He was an inspiration to Jeff Buckley. Nusrat had a powerful head voice. That's when you hit very high notes in a natural voice. Not falsetto.
❤❤❤❤
Very beautiful reactions and comments to The Righteous Brothers singing ( Unchained Melody)!❤❤❤😢❤❤❤
My moms music.. Had a great childhood.. And many memories with my parents and this music.. Must do Elvis's last performance doing this song.. My moms Love, favorite singer.. Breathtaking to hear
Thank you.
The Seekers - 'I'll Never Find Another You' and also their unofficial national anthem for the world really not just Aussies - 'I am Australian' pure gold both.
You all are so fabulous, and I love the way you and the background looks too!
I hope you will share the Beatles sometime. They are the best selling band of all time. They have influenced other performers for 60 years!
Next you have to listen to You're My Soul and Inspiration, the harmonies are transcendent, and the Wall of Sound by Phil Spector, the genius producer/murderer.
I consider this particular performance of Unchained Melody one of the best live performances of the 20th century, up there with Queen at Live Aid and Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma during the Three Tenors tour.
Love listening to these guys so interesting, and this has to be my very best favorite song.
Saw a video that you did a year ago and it was mentioned on the actual Natives from America, doing singing. They are out there, you just have to know what to look for. There was a group of tribes that got together and put a good presentation of the spirituality and music of the Native people. It has modern dancing, story telling, singing and the 'heart beat drum'. It's called Spirit:A Journey in Dance Drums and Song. It moves you as well as you can see the dancers/musicians being taken over by their spirit animals.
I learned a lot about the Righteous Brothers and this song-- even though I grew up hearing both of them!
This interview was amazing. The listeners’ responses surprised me.
Wow! These guys got closer to the meaning of this song than anyone has before. This song is about the afterlife!
Very interesting, very astute analysis.
I enjoy your comments and that you appreciate Bobby Hatfield's extraordinary talent. Your responses to his performance were touching. Thank you.
Never Walk Alone from Ed Sullivan. You get the high contrast in their voices and how they work together so perfectly.
I was on the debate team in high school, and the coach and I would sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" together right before each debate for good luck!
Love these guys .. Thank you from UK 🇬🇧
I love this channel so much. Thank you.
I enjoyed their reaction to this classic, their understanding of the lyrics is amazing and their admiration for his dress style is fantastic
You all are amazing love all your videos much love from this subscriber to your wonderful TH-cam channel
These gentlemen are getting a great film and music education from you. They will be bigger film and music buffs than most western kids today by the time you are done with them. Nice shout out to Lata Mangeshkar! He is spot on!
I love these. Mumram is a music lover at heart. Chacha has deep insight.
Righteous Brothers, "Unchained Melody" is an amazing song!! This is about soldiers at war telling their women to wait for them.
I loved that their thoughts on the song were exactly as it indicated!! One of my favorites. This is from when I was a young girl of 17! Did we know what love was at that age?
Abdul hit it all with his thoughts. Great man! Do have them listen to “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling”. Thank you!❤❤
Their appreciation of the music and wanting to know the meaning of the song is beautiful .
Great discussion! Thanks for letting us watch it! This song is a great one to discuss!
I love that you introduced this to your culture. It shows that music transcends cultures.
Sometimes we get the wrong impression of this people in this country and that they may treat their family disrespectful. But this speaks of the Love they have for Family.
THIS IS A FABULOUS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW THEY WILL ENJOY IT. THERES NO ONE LIKE BOBBY HATFIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see this song and bobby's intention as allegorical of God's love and gospel and, indeed, God gave us the gospel call, invitation, for each of us to respond to Him with love. It's a "touching" of the spirit. The voice and call of LOVE itself to His lost sheep. God is love. Nobody seems to talk about this. But i felt prompted to comment when one of the listeners remarked that bobby was smiling, not showing grief, while singing about a distanced love. And God gave us time as a gift to slow things down so that we could be able to perceive and grasp Him.
Beautiful song . Very insightful comments 👍🙂
Nice ❤
Thanks 🔥
I dont know what its called, but the design on the plates and drapery in the background is good looking
Unchained Melody:
Bobby Hatfield live performance.
{The Andy Williams Show}-
Episode #4.5
Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965:
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice ( in this performance his range is an incredible: D3 to G5 sharp) to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield each sang a song as a solo vocalist on their albums.
As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song.
Sadly, on Nov. 5, 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack in a Michigan hotel room just prior to a Righteous Brothers performance, apparently in his sleep at age 63.
The Righteous Brothers version was , oddly enough a huge hit because it was recorded merely as a filler song for their fourth album, not for release as a single. Philles Records owner/producer Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip B-side to writers Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “) as to which side of his Philles single was the A-side.
The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley to make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better.
’And I said, 'No, you can't!’ [Medley Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did! In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,'
which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer.
I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B-side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' but the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.

He had a cold, when he was swallowing, it appears his throat was hurting, but what a song and performance!
Nice, hoping to see more MJ reactions soon as well. Maybe a live performance from the HIStory tour, like the Scream medley, Dangerous or Smooth Criminal
These guys are excellent observers. They must spend a lot of their time on the streets seeing, and interfacing the flavor's of the world of experience rather than in lonely box cubicles with computers, in isolation a minnow at the mercy of the currents of an unsympathetic western sea .
If you’re going to do the Righteous Brothers, how about doing one where it’s actually the two of them instead of a solo?
I'm sure these gentlemen realize this was back in the 60s, correct? And yes, they were indeed, far more elegant then. Everything was, if you ask me. Phenomenal singers, the pair of them. My Best. Out.
While morally upstanding is the literal definition of Righteous, their name actually comes from the derivative slang usage meaning exceptional or outstanding quality.
I always get tingles up and down when he says ‘are you still mine’
The beginning of Blue eyed Soul Music❤
I adore your reactions ❤❤
