most of today's artists could not even come close to that even with Auto-Tune and with Bobby it just flowed out natural and from the heart...great reaction dude can't wait to see more
Bobby Hatfield had an incredible Counter Tenor voice. Like an opera singer he can hit those high octaves very easy. Here in this great song, he puts a lot of soul into it. This was an awesome performance of one of Rock & Rolls greatest singers. What a great reaction an honest insight of Bobby Hatfield's epic singing voice. Brilliant!
@lindalandry2519 they complemented each other. After all these years it worked for them musically. Bill is still carrying on, with a new partner. Over the years he could not ever replace Bobby. Not sure if they are still together, under stand that bill is doing solos, that fine a well.
Bill is a blues singer at heart and he sings bass ... 'I Just Wanna Make Love to You' . Together they can cover most of the keyboard. 'Soul and Inspiration' and 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling' were both Billboard number ones'. They had 22 songs on the top 100.
@DianaMiceli-Billingsley-kj4ln Bobby did put his own spin on a "classic" song; many artists have done this song, including ms Ella Fitzgerald. Actually Bobby added many notes that were not in the original writers of the song. Nevertheless this song did show Bobby's versatile range of octaves.
@DianaMiceli-Billingsley-kj4in take a listen to Bobby's version of unchained melody that was done live on Andy Williams show. It was a one take, no auto tune at that time. He was accompanied by orchestra that had been w/Andy Williams for many years. His performance was a "class act". His range was off the charts. Sure that his parents were indeed very proud of there son. Bobby was 25 y/o when he did this performance. After all these years, even prior to this performance many artists have done this song. Overall this song belongs to Bobby then and now.
Hello there. I was just scrolling through videos and I just came across your channel. This was the music that I grew up with. But I didn’t know that this song was sung by Bobby. He was an amazing performer.
The piano keys didn't go up high enough for Bobby Hatfield's capabilities so he invented his own notes. That's what my ex used to say. After you view all their hits don't forget to check out their more lively and humorous sides from the Shindig Show. The picture quality of some aren't too good but good enough to get the idea of just how great they were. My favorite one pranking the other was probably "My Babe" (the video of them in suits, not the sweaters and not the one with Glen Campbell). I watch it everyday. Enjoy your journey discovering the greats of the past.
@@doloresschultz8393 Oh, that one too. Bobby wouldn't stop with the "Yeah" when he was cued 2 or 3 times to end the song and he just kept going. Bill didn't miss a beat though. My whole family watched Shindig every week. Mom and Dad watched for the Glen Campbell numbers and Sis and I watched for the Righteous Brothers and Bobby Sherman. It was a droolfest for us.
You are right .. where is this music today ... you had to have talent to sing back then ... no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmicks, just pure Talent ..He's a counter tenor ... amazing range. We lost him too soon
Some more for ya... B. B. King - The Thrill Is Gone. New York 1971 The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hey Joe (1967) James Brown - It's A Man's Man's Man's World 1966 There's SO MUCH that you haven't heard.
Listen to a different genre by Procol Harum - A whiter shade of pale (amazing, but not Bobby) Kd Lang - crying or All I need is the air that I breathe, Roberta Flack- The first time ever I saw your face. So many greats. Brook Benton - Rainy night in Georgia or Boll Weevil, Al Greene- How do I mend a broken heart. So many greats!
My favorite rendition of this song was recorded in 1966 by the great Billy Stewart. Summertime was composed in 1934 by George Gershwin and has been covered by a lot of great artists over the years, including Janis Joplin, Sam Cooke, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and others.
@rubbertoe8643 Bobby did put his spin on the classic summertime. It seems that he added a few notes; that were not written in the original song. His rendition of this song does show his range of octaves w/o any problems. He sang any song effortlessly, w/no bother, no strain. Bobby you are nearly missed, your music is still w/us, we are blessed to still be able to listen to it.
Thank you so very much young man for letting somebody sing a song eho really knows how to ding well. Have a Blessed Evening Adios. Please hear him sing "Unchained Melody". These fays you do not really jear beautiful romantic love songs unless they are from the past and here's a hood one. Thanks. Good Evening. Adios.
williamdunphe-bh2pu don't believe anyone, then or now could ever reach the vocals, w/o the usage of autotune. Bobby his voice was heavenly sent. Bobby is dearly missed, gratefully his music is still w/us. As a duo they blended so well together. Loved Bobby's voice, he was heavenly blessed.
@@williamdunphe-bh2pu thank you, they did overall complement each other. Over the years when they were starting out, it was not going to work. Thank goodness they proven that wrong. An afterthought Bobby and or Bill could very well have gone there seperate way and do very well.
@@kay9549 Bill tried from 1968 to 74 with minimal success. Bobby tried continuing the Righteous Brothers with a new partner for a year or two then quit. He did record two wonderful albums The Other Brother and Messin' in Muscle Shoals that weren't released until just recently.
Try these out for a new listen maybe: ZZtop - La Grange Lynryd Skynryd - I Never Dreamed Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne Van Morrison - Into the Mystic Great reactions, btw! 😊
Great Reaction! I love Bobby! If you like this you should give Janis Joplin a listen. She does this song, too, but her live version of Cry Baby is amazing!
They had to be good. There was nowhere to hide. I have to wonder how much talent is being wasted now because they don't have to work, and the producers aren't even looking for people who can sing. They just "correct" them and kill all the soul in the process.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT 90s MUSIC WAS ALL HYPE TILL I GOT OLDER🫣
The music of the 1960s, 1970s, & 1980s are the best by far!
I consider the music of the 60's as the greatest decade in Rock & Roll history.
most of today's artists could not even come close to that even with Auto-Tune and with Bobby it just flowed out natural and from the heart...great reaction dude can't wait to see more

2Cambourne yes Bobby was a countertenor, what a range of octaves, unbelievable. A very blessed individual with such a god given voice.
Yes, he was. Thanks for your reply.@@kay9549
Hopefully this kind of feeling, quality music will come back.
‘1900s music is so much better’ 😂😂😂😂 That’s the first I’ve heard that. 😂😂😂😂❤
Blue eyed soul at its finest. Individually Bob and Bill were oozing with talent and soul and together they were outstanding! 6:29

To hear both listen to " you've lost that loving feeling "
Bobby had some Soul❤

Insanely good….and so Bobby Hatfield ❤
As a Mom, I’m SO PROUD of YOU! ❤
❤️❤️ means alot to me
Bobby Hatfield could SANG! This will always be Bobby’s song.

One of the greatest male vocalists to have ever been born!
Wow! I haven't heard this in a long time! He is INCREDIBLE! ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Absolutely Perfect ❤❤❤.
Great music duo. Other good ones with them together is You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling and Soul and Inspiration.
Hello there. I was just scrolling through videos and I just came across your channel. This was the music that I grew up with. But I didn’t know that this song was sung by Bobby. He was an amazing performer.
The song they do that brings me tears is ( You ' ll Never Walk Alone!)❤❤❤❤❤
I told you this would be something!!
Bobby used to tickle me. He would feel the music.He couldn't keep still when he was singing.
I love the perfect imperfections of old music 🎵🎶❤

How about Bring it on home to me when Bobby gets Bill grinning time after time. So darn cute❤

Lost that loving feeling will surprise you by both are singing
Makes you wonder when Bobby is coming up (or down?) for air! You hardly ever see him breathe, yet the vocal artistry is unbelievable!
I remember when Fantasia sung this on American Idol. She did a great job.
You are right .. where is this music today ... you had to have talent to sing back then ... no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmicks, just pure Talent ..He's a counter tenor ... amazing range. We lost him too soon

He’s got more soul than a size 15 shoe.
His voice did crack, once, but everything else was amazing, and I even like the imperfection.
Thank you so very much young man for letting somebody sing a song eho really knows how to ding well. Have a Blessed Evening
Adios. Please hear him sing "Unchained Melody". These fays you do not really jear beautiful romantic love songs unless they are from the past and here's a hood one. Thanks. Good Evening. Adios.
This was One of the best vocals ever done wild bill
williamdunphe-bh2pu don't believe anyone, then or now could ever reach the vocals, w/o the usage of autotune. Bobby his voice was heavenly sent. Bobby is dearly missed, gratefully his music is still w/us. As a duo they blended so well together. Loved Bobby's voice, he was heavenly blessed.
Great comment I agree with you I have multiple albums original of the righteous brothers wild bill

I'm glad they stayed together for all their musical genius wild bill

Wow is right!!!
pure blue eyed soul ..try watching EBB TIDE
He looks like a mild mannered Clark Kent ,
but he, he SuperMan !
yes you did miss the best , I wish I could go back and appreciate what we had.
"Summertime" is a song from the musical "Porgy and Bess". Ella Fitzgerald and Janis Joplin have done renditions of this song.
With todays sound affects they can make me sound like I can sing , and I can’t carry a tune, lol.
Try The Miracles with Ooh Baby Baby
❤
Try these out for a new listen maybe:
ZZtop - La Grange
Lynryd Skynryd - I Never Dreamed
Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne
Van Morrison - Into the Mystic
Great reactions, btw! 😊
If you want to hear somebody that sing like that today you need to check out Dan vasc out of Brazil
Janis Joplin does this song too🔥but my favorite version is Sublimes version
Don’t make me take you to church!!!!
Great Reaction! I love Bobby! If you like this you should give Janis Joplin a listen. She does this song, too, but her live version of Cry Baby is amazing!
Live mike no auto tune
👍👍💯❤️
Listen to their song "I Just Want to Make Love to You " will blue your socks off
Listen to stuff from the 60s and 70s....I think you'll be very happy.
They had to be good. There was nowhere to hide. I have to wonder how much talent is being wasted now because they don't have to work, and the producers aren't even looking for people who can sing. They just "correct" them and kill all the soul in the process.
Listen to Bill sing, “I just want to make love to you.” Also, listen to the duo sing, “you’ve lost that Lovin feeling.”
Now listen to Janis Joplin version of “Summertime” preferably live
Add some Nina Simone to your list to listen to.
Angelina Jordan is a young artist that sings as well as or better than any artists fromthe the past. react to any of her app. 200 song catalog
