Bobby was so blessed to have a god given voice. No one then or now could ever reach those octaves. He was considered a contratenor. Amazing voice, to do a comparison to range perhaps Ray Hamilton, that did this same song in the mid fifties (1955). This man was so very blessed, Bobby is dearly missed, we are fortunate to still be able to hear his beautiful voice, after all these years.
@@Scyllax Ok, maybe not one of the best songs ever written. BUT I used to write songs for my rock bands, etc. and if I had written this one my life would be fulfilled. Of course Bobby Hatfield delivered it better than any human on the planet, yet he had a beautiful melody and heart-felt lyrics to work with. Go ahead and try it yourself. Not that easy, eh?
To pull off this kind of vocal, flawlessly in a live situation is genuinely "other worldly". I will be forever grateful that the moment was captured for posterity. It just never gets old. Comparing it with anything modern is pointless.
Phil Spector did not produce this live tv performance. Truth told, a lot of these old school performers could drop this kind of Performance at a moment’s notice. Tight and solid.
Steve Girard Media - But Phil Spector did produce the track that he was singing live to. This performance is actually better than the single that was twice a hit, roughy 30 years apart.
@@stevegirardmedia2255 I agree, I also don't know what the backing track had to do with Bobby's vocal performance...nobody contributed to Bobby's performance except Bobby! A song like this in a setting like this, live audience/televised AND not least his parents in the audience would normally have a bearing on the vocal. Watch the opening number of almost anybody's live concert, for the first portion of the song the artiste is usually a little breathless, visibly dry mouthed, (as Bobby was here if you look carefully) You can usually see and hear them settle into it around halfway through the opener. But Bobby has only the one shot, and he knows it. And he still doesn't do what most artistes would do, he doesn't start to rush it, he doesn't start to build too early. These songs are designed when written to build throughout the song finishing with a big crescendo. If you rush it and start to build too early there is nothing left for the big finish. To do all of that and in these circumstances to the level was nothing short of a masterpiece, and we get to share it...forever! I bet his mum cried...I certainly did!
Interesting fact, his mom was on the front row hearing that song for the first time. He was very nervous singing this for her. That little smile at the end was to her.
I just turned 70 three weeks ago. Yep, this music defined our generation. I still get chills hearing this. Only The Righteous Brothers can sing this. As well as “Ebb Tide.”👍
At 37, and as a father, I wonder what the future for my kids looks like, because I much more revere music of the past than that of today, for what appears to be obvious reasons to me.
Thank you for not talking/commenting during the song. Your expressions were enough. He had a stunningly fantastic sound and I loved how you appreciated it.
You probably won’t see this but I’m a 60-year old man and when you first paused you literally brought tears to my eyes. They stayed there as I saw you engulfed by the sheer beauty of this magical song and talent and by the end were running down my cheeks. Thank you for allowing us to see you discover this. No words were needed!
There are dozens of these reactions to unchained melody online. And I have watched most of them. But this is my favorite reaction. You were completely swept away to the point you were speechless and just trying to compose yourself. But who could blame you, it really is that good.
She asks: What is this? The greatest live vocal performance of all time. The young lady was able to convey more emotion just with her facial expressions, her eyes, her body than most other reactors who talk a lot. Loved it ❤️
I’m getting tired of these reaction videos. Part of the human experience is curiosity. To live to be in your late 30’s without ever hearing the RB’s is embarrassing not enlightening. Hive mind that only allows you to listen to one type of music is the Bain of society.
Every thought and feeling in her mind is eloquently mirrored on her beautiful face. Sushi's is probably the most compelling reaction to this song on TH-cam.
Yes wildflower Bobby was a contratenor, with such control of breathing, reaching all those notes. He sang this song with no effort at all. No one then and now could be compared to Bobby version. Actually there is an artist had a similar range in vocal/octaves Roy Hamilton, his recording of 1955. I have not listen to Sam Cooks version, but will take a see. Bobby is dearly missed, but his 🎶 lives on. When you have a moment listen to Bobbys version of summertime, ebb tide, and many others that are available on utube.
Your reaction to his voice is the greatest compliment he could ever have wished for ... better than any award, is the true and natural joy and emotion of a listener. You did his song proud
Absolutely dwayne, after all the years past, this is the song, that will live on forever. Bobby was blessed w/ a contratenor voice,with an amazing range of octave (s). He is dearly missed, but he is still w/us w/his 🎶. What a talented and blessed young man, sure that his parents were very proud of this performance.
Yes dwayne, after all this years, bobby is still melting ❤'s. There is no artist in this day, that could reach such an octave range, as he did. He was such a blessed individual, even in his later years, the voice was there, but perhaps not the range he had when he did this performance live on the Andy Williams show in 1965. I'm sure that Andy wanted all to go well, he was a wonderful singer as well. The aucoustics were outstanding in the NBC studio, with the best orchestra that you could imagine. No autotune, just the young man, mic, and his glorious voice.
@@kay9549Live and on film I believe that this was his perfect moment. that one time when everything goes right. I've said it before, but watching young ppl react to it is always amazing.
@@dwaynentinabunt1200 Dwayne was just going to say Bobby was so very blessed, talented, a voice that you could never describe. His voice was a heavenly one. No one then or now could ever reach those ranges of octaves. I'm perhaps have mention that comment (s) in earlier posts, I can, because im old as dirt. Anyone that had the good fortune, to see either one of the righteous brothers, whether together or each one doing a solo act, it must have been a great experience. Bobby you are dearly missed, thank fully your music will withstand the test of time; actually it has sixty years. Bobby you are still 🎸 in it.
This is a live performance on a tv show. There is no computer assist, no auto-tune - nothing but pure talent and a 3 octave range with superb tone/pitch quality and control. He is not the first to record this song, and there have been several others after this, including Elvis, but Bobby Hatfield owns this song.
Bobby's mother was in the audience that night - this performance was on The Andy Williams Show. Natural talent, he sang live, effortlessly, nothing pre-recorded, in tune, and no auto-tune.

Music like this increases the population. How do you think the US population expanded after war times? This song is partially responsible for at least 100k souls
One of my favourite songs among many ,it is just beautiful i still get needles of ice since i heard it as a child ,i was born 1970 . Makes you teary eyed , the days when music was food for the soul now its just junk .
@@douglasfrench6998 tbh I like the studio version's instrumentation slightly better, but the live version has him hit the high note at the end, which is why I prefer the live version.

I have seen so many reactions to this song but I appreciate yours the most. You did not analyze every word and stop the song several times. Your honest "loss for words reaction" was so refreshing and I thank you for it. Bobby Hatfield was a once in a generation (at most) talent and he died too soon and he is sorely missed.

Firstly, may I say your skin is so pretty. A good song never goes out of style. This song was written in the 50’s & does not sound dated. Elvis cut this song & countless others. Sam Cooke does a fine job on it as well. th-cam.com/video/uju92qlDSXk/w-d-xo.html
Gianna you are one beautiful Soul of pure heartfelt joy thank you for being you touched my old broken 💔💓 this song was for my daughters Mom it did not work out for us 😔😢😔 nice to see your beautiful feeling's of Goodness very positive and heartwarming bless your sweet heart always.
One of the greatest performances ever. A man singing from the depths of his heart about his need for a woman's love. You're right Sushi, you didn't grow up in the best era for music, but luckily you're able to hear the best music.
I've bookedmarked your reaction... I've seen almost all the "Unchained" reactions. Yours bar none the best. Thanks for your pause and wordless joy. If this song doesn't move one they are already gone. RIP Bobby H. Keep up the solid input and bringing light to a generation on the verge. Vibrate and elevate Sushi!
@@chrisgeorge8191 Sadly, some music lover believe they're the Lord of Songs, yet know nothing about why they're on the planet. Good thing we're just visiting. Stay up, stay humble Chris =Peace

Not to diminish your marriage at all (congrats on 48 years by the way) but that's kind of a cheap shot. I'm pretty sure you could ask a complete stranger for a dance and then ask her to marry you while dancing to this song and she'd say yes. This song has that effect on women, haha!
I'm 76 and used to party with the Righteous Brothers at there apartment by Disneyland. We took them for granted but not for a long time. They were the real deal. Glad you enjoyed his singing.
My absolute favorite reaction video ever. She didn’t need to say anything. Her face said it all. She looked like she felt he was singing to her and her alone.
Yea man. Also back in that era, recordings were much the same. Ive seen footage of The Beach Boys recording back in the day. One room, all band members, instruments and backing singers all arranged around a single microphone. All different distances from the mic to achieve desired levels. They did it in a single take, and if even one of these elements wasn't perfect they had to do all over again. They didn't have the benefit of multitrack etc. They were amazing live back then because they pretty much had to bring the same a-game to recording as they did live.
There are many gifted singers around today, but what I don't like about (most of) their performances is all the facial theatrics. Pulling faces and grimacing doesn't actually help to create or sustain a note.
What just happened is an extremely gifted man sang a song to YOU! And you responded the same way MILLIONS of women before you responded. You swooned! He made you feel like he was singing this to you and it made you feel special, cared for, and needed! This is how special this man was. He evoked emotions from everyone that listened to this vocal masterpiece! Amazing that someone singing a song brings these feelings out of us. I’m glad you took the time to listen to this very special man and his voice! Proof that we don’t need to degrade each other with foul mouthed lyrics. This song transcends race, gender, and most of all, TIME!
This beautiful young lady was just transported back to the 60s by the best singer of the number one love song of my era. Welcome to the 60s. I was 16, and life was good. It was an incredible time to be young.
Did you feel it? That shiver that runs down your spine when you have just listened to something so pure, so exquisite. Bobby Hatfield OWNED that song. Your reaction with no words conveyed all that needed to be said
I love the speechlessness! You ask, “what just happened?” It is so simple. You just fell in love! This song is one of the greatest, you don’t hear it being recreated because, you cannot improve perfection!
Bobby Hatfield was the real deal. He was in an era when people trained for years to turn their voice into an instrument. The song is good, but Bobby Hatfield turns it into an ethereal experience.
It was written in 1955 as the theme song for a low budget prison film, “Unchained.” There were three different artists who put it out as a single In the 50’s...Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton. But once this version by Bobby Hatfield was released in July 1965, as the “B” side to a song the DJ’s didn’t like and wouldn’t play, it became THE standard interpretation. Bobby first recorded a couple takes as it was written, but he came back for another and changed the final verse to a much higher level.....something he could obviously do with his incredible voice.
@@bertsplci I'll just ask if your native language is english and if not, i'll explain that "getting close" and "not even close" has a different meaning. Thank you.
@@unAbated. English is not my native language. However Marilyn was saying that the righteous brothers version is the gold standard. To which I agree fully, but to my opinion Elvis's version is getting close to that gold standard.
I'm a 49 year old metalhead son of parents that came of age in that era. I've heard that song since I was a kid, and it is, to my mind, one of the most powerful and beautiful melodies ever performed. You just had a Soulgasm......
@Blue Wave 2020 I checked out your TH-cam page and the first video I saw posted was, "My Cat, Trying to Open up His Bag of Treats - part 1". Followed by, "My Cat Opening His Bag of Treats - part 2". And then you're asking people to "Subscribe"? BAH HAH HAH. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved how he smiled and bit his lower lip after the last note...it seemed to say, "YES! I did it, Mom, I really did it!" His Mom must have been crying a river listening down in that audience!
@@chadwhitfield6946 Lol, Chad! That seriously made me laugh out loud. I don't have a clue what you look like but I could still picture you saying it, haha.
No words are needed young lady your omg expression when he first opened his mouth says it all. I was 17 when this came out and every woman I knew felt just what you went through. Beautiful stuff.
Somebody break out a mop because our gurl has been turned into a puddle of love. Even though you didn't say a word, this was one of the best reactions I've ever seen!!! 😍😍
Have to tell you I've seen many people reactions to this song and your's is hands down my favorite reaction. I could literally see your temperature raise. I've watched yours several times over the years and absolutely love coming back to it every once in a while. You're beautiful by the way so it makes it easy to watch. 😉 😊
This was my wife's and my song we danced to at our wedding. I'm a 67 yo combat Vietnam vet. I cried at that song looking into her eyes. I loved your reaction
Live witth 1960's microphone! Everytime I hear him doing this song I think of all the other singers who have tried this song and think of their voice on a line and him being able to just dart back and forth across their range with ease. There just has never been another person that sounded like him.
That's why there's still men out here trying our hardest to sing it.. I love this music and swear someday I'll be good enough to really sing these songs.. they don't make soul music like this no more....
My first dance in my new Husband's arms was to this song by this artist. When I hear it, I'm 18 years old again! Still able to blush... I'm 67 now and still dancing with the same precious other half of my soul.
I'm sixteen and I love this kind of music. Even open to rock like elvis Presley, the rolling stones, led zeppelin, chuck berry, the righteous brothers, roy orbison, queen , the platters, green day, creed, tom petty, Billy Joel, ray Charles, and much much more. And yes I'm young but I do agree that alot of younger people dont know alot of the great music. From the 50s through to the 90s But I'm one of the young people that LOVE music that's from that era. Thank you
Warren Lang good for you. Always great to hear about younger people listening to older music. The crap that passes for music these days is terrible (there are good bands and solo talents out there so I’m not saying all of it) Growing up with my dad’s music was a lot of fun. I can’t believe how popular people like Drake are. He’s a talentless hack...yes I said it
Think back to your High School Senior Prom, the last dance of the night and they play this song. Your emotions go through the roof. That is what it was like back then, an era that only those of us who lived in it, can embrace it and the memories that we have to look back on.
Honey, these guys have brought tears to so many women's eyes. Lol!!! And just think pure vocal talent. No electronics to fix their voices back then. One of the greatest voices ever in my opinion. I can remember my mom and dad playing these guys on the old vinyl records.
One of the greatest love songs ever performed by a man who was without any doubt, and in my mind was given a gift from God. A gift he shared with world. Absolutely one of the best voices to ever sing a note. This song and his voice have a way with overwhelming people who hear it with a rush of emotion. The reason we humans love music.
JOHN PERKINS Yes, vocal control is an excellent way of describing Bobby’s voice. I was so young during this time period. So happy for these video clips.
45 year old dude with tears rolling down his cheek watching this. Never saw him sing it and you reaction is amazing. My advice is to make sure you marry a guy that makes you feel the same way you did in this video.
I read that his mum and dad were in the audience and he was nervous but, that lip bite at the end says it all! He kknoocked it out the ballpark and then some! #nailedit 🎤 🎵 💯 😍
It is always good to watch a person that has never heard real music before get that emotional response like a part of their soul is missing and now it is found. That is what music is supposed to do.
She literally stares at the screen for 80% of her videos, how is this even a reaction video. SMH, I came here because I didn't believe this could be popular.
@@takeit1229 Do you believe a "reaction" has to be loud or flashy? In this video in particular, Sushi is showing a whole range of emotional reaction through expression, gestures and body language. You just have to look at it.

This is an example of true 'soul' music. Doesn't matter the genre or the color of ones skin. It's the ability of an artist to convey the feeling.
True that!!!!
Bobby's mother was in the audience that night - this performance was on The Andy Williams Show. Natural talent, he sang live, effortlessly, nothing pre-recorded, in tune, and no auto-tune.

Her reaction is perfect. It brings me to tears of happiness.
What happened was you listened to one of the greatest love songs in recorded history sung live by Bobby Hatfield. One of the greatest singers ever!
This girl's heart melted right before my eyes. There's nothing stronger than love. Love conquers all.
This lovely young lady just had that over a song that is over 50 years old. My God humanity just might make it.
just need to get them off the fake news tv
kirk - Amen to that.
Doubt it....
The powers of the poet transcend time and generation
@Dojocho musical talent knows no color.... lol many of the best talents in the world are of every color,creed, religion...
I keep coming back to watch your reaction because it is the most heartfelt and original reaction that I have ever seen
Soul is far beyond color or culture, it is a human bridge of music that connects us all.
This right here ☝🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Firstly, may I say your skin is so pretty.
A good song never goes out of style. This song was written in the 50’s & does not sound dated. Elvis cut this song & countless others. Sam Cooke does a fine job on it as well.

True Love has no boundaries of the world or hearts feeling for the one Lady you surrendered them too so simply hopelessly lost without her love.
Gianna you are one beautiful Soul of pure heartfelt joy thank you for being you touched my old broken 💔💓 this song was for my daughters Mom it did not work out for us 😔😢😔 nice to see your beautiful feeling's of Goodness very positive and heartwarming bless your sweet heart always.
Couldnt have said it better
One of the greatest performances ever. A man singing from the depths of his heart about his need for a woman's love. You're right Sushi, you didn't grow up in the best era for music, but luckily you're able to hear the best music.
So many young women wept hearing this song while their boys were in Vietnam. The song of our times.
Funny thing... Gulf of tunkin never happened.. 52k dead Americans and 2 million VC over a lie
I've bookedmarked your reaction... I've seen almost all the "Unchained" reactions. Yours bar none the best. Thanks for your pause and wordless joy. If this song doesn't move one they are already gone. RIP Bobby H. Keep up the solid input and bringing light to a generation on the verge. Vibrate and elevate Sushi!
So so nothing some people like to let alot of music lovers know they don't know one f----n thing about music and they never will.
@@chrisgeorge8191 Sadly, some music lover believe they're the Lord of Songs, yet know nothing about why they're on the planet. Good thing we're just visiting. Stay up, stay humble Chris =Peace
@tradde11 The fellow traveler has no idea why he's a dark moon rising. Perhaps chris will block out the sun next week. Peace - tradde11 We know the difference between light and dark.
I asked my wife of 48 years to marry me while dancing to this song. Thank you Righteous Brothers...........She said yes.
You had good taste Edward, congratulations on 48 years.
That is beautiful. Perfection!
Not to diminish your marriage at all (congrats on 48 years by the way) but that's kind of a cheap shot. I'm pretty sure you could ask a complete stranger for a dance and then ask her to marry you while dancing to this song and she'd say yes. This song has that effect on women, haha!
How many grandchildren?
I asked my ex wife to marry me because she was furious with me and I wanted her to shut up..
Today is January 1, 2022 and this song still gives me the chills when I hear it. God Bless You Bobby.
me too
Amazing voice can listen over and over again. Bobby looks like my uncle..💙
Yes. R.I.P
All LIVE. This is what talent looks and sounds like
I'm 76 and used to party with the Righteous Brothers at there apartment by Disneyland. We took them for granted but not for a long time. They were the real deal. Glad you enjoyed his singing.
Cool.
That's a pretty awesome little story there. 🤟 😎
My absolute favorite reaction video ever. She didn’t need to say anything. Her face said it all. She looked like she felt he was singing to her and her alone.
Agree the best part was she didn’t need to speak. Her face said it all 😂
Didnt she ever see Ghost wasnt that in the movie ?
Songs today don't have the same romance they had then.
Shes over acting pretending to be shocked
Rebecca Macom Ghost came out in 1990 (Thirty years ago!!!).
Fun fact his mother was in the audience and dedicated his performance to her!
Such a beautiful song!
...AND he had a head cold...
she's dead
@@BlueCowUdderwow
Eigentlich sagte man hier, er wollte wenig später heiraten lund.sang für seine zukünftige. Die Ehe hielt aber nicht.
one of the greatest live performances of all time . no auto tune just soul and talent
Your totally wordless reaction is the purest I've ever seen. Thank you.
And he sang it without the sound of him breathing like they all do now. His breath control is a master class in how to sing.
This is true, though some songs the breathing is part of it.
Yea man. Also back in that era, recordings were much the same. Ive seen footage of The Beach Boys recording back in the day. One room, all band members, instruments and backing singers all arranged around a single microphone. All different distances from the mic to achieve desired levels. They did it in a single take, and if even one of these elements wasn't perfect they had to do all over again. They didn't have the benefit of multitrack etc. They were amazing live back then because they pretty much had to bring the same a-game to recording as they did live.
Right. I love Matthew Bellamy. I do. I think he's a great singer. But he's got no breath control
There are many gifted singers around today, but what I don't like about (most of) their performances is all the facial theatrics. Pulling faces and grimacing doesn't actually help to create or sustain a note.
What just happened is an extremely gifted man sang a song to YOU! And you responded the same way MILLIONS of women before you responded. You swooned! He made you feel like he was singing this to you and it made you feel special, cared for, and needed! This is how special this man was. He evoked emotions from everyone that listened to this vocal masterpiece! Amazing that someone singing a song brings these feelings out of us.
I’m glad you took the time to listen to this very special man and his voice! Proof that we don’t need to degrade each other with foul mouthed lyrics. This song transcends race, gender, and most of all, TIME!
well said
Amen
Masterpiece reply
Beautifully stated.
Amen!!! It is try that music is the universal language.....
This beautiful young lady was just transported back to the 60s by the best singer of the number one love song of my era. Welcome to the 60s. I was 16, and life was good. It was an incredible time to be young.
Bobby's little nod and smile at the end was the world's greatest.
Bobby’s relaxed smile, little nod and gentle lip bite were the cherry on top of the world’s most delicious cake.
Did you feel it? That shiver that runs down your spine when you have just listened to something so pure, so exquisite.
Bobby Hatfield OWNED that song.
Your reaction with no words conveyed all that needed to be said
its all about the voice, this is real talent, never to be repeated, no one will ever sing it better, 10 out of 10
The lyrics are incredible as well. This song describes longing like no other.
Bold statement. The original is very good! It’s the original, but to say “no one ” will ever sing it better? Hmm. Ok
I love the speechlessness! You ask, “what just happened?” It is so simple. You just fell in love! This song is one of the greatest, you don’t hear it being recreated because, you cannot improve perfection!
Sublime
Still taking lady's hearts
Elvis did a fairly good rendition where he went from his baritone chest voice cleanly into falsetto w almost no break surprised me at the time
Bobby Hatfield was sick with a cold when he sang that night….legendary 💯
@@richardfox1605 I agree. Both versions are great. One thing about Elvis though, if he did someone else's song it pretty much became his.
You are the only reactor with pauses in this song that I actually appreciate. No talking...just a physical reaction that says it all. Perfect. :)
Bobby Hatfield was the real deal. He was in an era when people trained for years to turn their voice into an instrument. The song is good, but Bobby Hatfield turns it into an ethereal experience.
True work ethic and dedication
Absolutely right. This song was recorded by several artists, including "The King," Elvis. None of them measured up to this. (Sorry, Elvis fans.)
@@BobG127
No one can argue against that. No one can ever sing this like Mr. Hatfield did.
Maybe the song wasn't written for him, but he was born to sing it.
Yessss!
Very well said.
It was written in 1955 as the theme song for a low budget prison film, “Unchained.” There were three different artists who put it out as a single In the 50’s...Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton. But once this version by Bobby Hatfield was released in July 1965, as the “B” side to a song the DJ’s didn’t like and wouldn’t play, it became THE standard interpretation. Bobby first recorded a couple takes as it was written, but he came back for another and changed the final verse to a much higher level.....something he could obviously do with his incredible voice.
Absolutely
@@gkworley52I love you, thank you so much for this ❤❤❤
Many artists have sang this song but this version is the gold standard.
Although Elvis's version 1977 is getting close
@@bertsplci not even close...
@@unAbated. don't need to debat not defend my opinion
@@bertsplci I'll just ask if your native language is english and if not, i'll explain that "getting close" and "not even close" has a different meaning. Thank you.
@@unAbated. English is not my native language. However Marilyn was saying that the righteous brothers version is the gold standard. To which I agree fully, but to my opinion Elvis's version is getting close to that gold standard.
What many fail to mention was this was a live vocal, in a TV studio not a recording studio… Before auto-tune and lip sync… Dudes could sang!!
No auto tune. No mixing. No alteration. Purely the sound of his voice. THAT, my friends, is TALENT. Bobby was just so good.
She respects music.
I love the fact that her expressions aren't stereotypical, she knows how to appreciate all music.
Keep it up girl.
By her reaction it is something she wants so much in life and that is passion.
Bit over the top tbh
And nice to look at
@Question Everyfing what? You have a little prick?
@Question Everyfing funny how your sorry asd has a negative comment, only3 sob story followers and no shares.
Fuck of twat.
I'm a 49 year old metalhead son of parents that came of age in that era. I've heard that song since I was a kid, and it is, to my mind, one of the most powerful and beautiful melodies ever performed. You just had a Soulgasm......
His Song!! And you girl ! Brought tears to my eyes 😭!! Powerful Song!!!! And Singer!!!
“What just happened?” Bless your heart. You just heard one of the greatest love songs ever recorded.
It's hard to imagine a human voice being this stunning and perfect, but there it is.
Mebbe he wasn't one of us lowly humans
And yet, right now we have 417 morons who don't think so.
Mad respect to his damn band. They killed that shit too
When a young girl got no words. Love when young chicks get introduced to our old music.
@Blue Wave 2020 what are you offened for
@Blue Wave 2020 I'm a 36 year old chick, and I still use that term. Chill out.
@Blue Wave 2020 yes
@Blue Wave 2020 You sound like an offended and triggered chick
@Blue Wave 2020 I checked out your TH-cam page and the first video
I saw posted was, "My Cat, Trying to Open up His Bag of Treats - part 1".
Followed by, "My Cat Opening His Bag of Treats - part 2". And then you're asking people to "Subscribe"?
BAH HAH HAH. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most authentic, heartfelt and emotional reaction everrrrrr.
Bobby hit 20 notes over 2 octaves without breaking a sweat. One of the only singers who could do that.
He had such an incredible voice, and a range that was unbelievable.
that smile at the end was because his parents were there and he was so nervous about getting through the song. live, no autotune, etc.. pure talent
The BEST. NOT EVEN CLOSE
I loved how he smiled and bit his lower lip after the last note...it seemed to say, "YES! I did it, Mom, I really did it!" His Mom must have been crying a river listening down in that audience!
@@vivians9392 no, the lip bite was "that's right bitches, that's right"
@@chadwhitfield6946 Lol, Chad! That seriously made me laugh out loud. I don't have a clue what you look like but I could still picture you saying it, haha.
No words are needed young lady your omg expression when he first opened his mouth says it all. I was 17 when this came out and every woman I knew felt just what you went through. Beautiful stuff.
When singers had talent that had nothing to do with technology. Magnificent
One of the best live performances ever recorded
If not THE best!
Somebody break out a mop because our gurl has been turned into a puddle of love.
Even though you didn't say a word, this was one of the best reactions I've ever seen!!! 😍😍
👍👍I agree completely.
That's what made it such a great reaction.
And turned into a puddle by the finest. 😄
Called over acting
Have to tell you I've seen many people reactions to this song and your's is hands down my favorite reaction. I could literally see your temperature raise. I've watched yours several times over the years and absolutely love coming back to it every once in a while. You're beautiful by the way so it makes it easy to watch. 😉 😊
Best reaction ever. I loved everything you didn't say during the song.
I second that comment best reaction
Exactly! Her reactions is what made me sub, because of what she didn’t say okay!
Now you know the difference between a "singer" and an "artist".
They call themselves "artists" because they really cannot sing at all. Got to have talent to sing......
I believe that Bobby's talent was on loan from God.
I can't sing.
But at least i don't pretend i can with a lot of fancy computers and autotune covering it up.
This was my wife's and my song we danced to at our wedding. I'm a 67 yo combat Vietnam vet. I cried at that song looking into her eyes. I loved your reaction
My 1st boyfriend was this kind of tender and sweet, he truly loved women. He never came back from Nam.
Thank you for your service and for loving your wife.
@@JMAM006So sorry for your loss, and for all the lives lost there.
Love is more powerful than any enemy.
God bless you Sir
Live witth 1960's microphone! Everytime I hear him doing this song I think of all the other singers who have tried this song and think of their voice on a line and him being able to just dart back and forth across their range with ease. There just has never been another person that sounded like him.
I never get tired of watching young women react to this song. It just sweeps you off your feet, doesn’t it?
Listen to their “Soul and Inspiration!”
That's why there's still men out here trying our hardest to sing it.. I love this music and swear someday I'll be good enough to really sing these songs.. they don't make soul music like this no more....
@@derekenlow7607 ...any more.
Shit I’m a straight male and this sweeps me off my feet
Loo
My first dance in my new Husband's arms was to this song by this artist. When I hear it, I'm 18 years old again! Still able to blush... I'm 67 now and still dancing with the same precious other half of my soul.
Cheers to you and Mr. humming bird!
Thats the most beautiful shit i ever i heard and im 24
Just a man and a microphone. Times surely have changed......
...and a great arrangement, performed by a great backing orchestra.
gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang gucci gang....
Ya think??!!
A time when songs were about love!
One of the finest male voices in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.
A timeless classic, as moving today as it was all those years ago. The lyrics, melody, his voice touch your heart and don’t let go!
Young people that is what talent looks and sounds like.
Don't fret im a 57 year old white man and it makes me cry every time i hear it.
I'm sixteen and I love this kind of music. Even open to rock like elvis Presley, the rolling stones, led zeppelin, chuck berry, the righteous brothers, roy orbison, queen , the platters, green day, creed, tom petty,
Billy Joel, ray Charles, and much much more. And yes I'm young but I do agree that alot of younger people dont know alot of the great music.
From the 50s through to the 90s
But I'm one of the young people that LOVE music that's from that era.
Thank you
@@gjkorfinhays I've got 10 years on you and it does the same thing to me, too.
Warren Lang good for you. Always great to hear about younger people listening to older music. The crap that passes for music these days is terrible (there are good bands and solo talents out there so I’m not saying all of it) Growing up with my dad’s music was a lot of fun.
I can’t believe how popular people like Drake are. He’s a talentless hack...yes I said it
@@jmathieson15 You said it! All Drake's songs sound the same. And I say that as a Canadian. Pretty big ego too.
He sang that directly to you didn't he. Beautiful reaction.
Heard & felt w/your heart.
I love this comment
Dairy farmers play this for the herd when they have a cream order to fill. 15 minutes later it's filled.
Most powerful lyrics in any love song!
Most beautiful song ever!
Think back to your High School Senior Prom, the last dance of the night and they play this song. Your emotions go through the roof. That is what it was like back then, an era that only those of us who lived in it, can embrace it and the memories that we have to look back on.
Honey, these guys have brought tears to so many women's eyes. Lol!!! And just think pure vocal talent. No electronics to fix their voices back then. One of the greatest voices ever in my opinion. I can remember my mom and dad playing these guys on the old vinyl records.
I've just witnessed a master class in voice control by a master of his craft.
Absolutely!
@@debraboyea7776 No-one else comes close to Bobby Hatfield singing this song never have and never will.
One of the greatest love songs ever performed by a man who was without any doubt, and in my mind was given a gift from God. A gift he shared with world. Absolutely one of the best voices to ever sing a note. This song and his voice have a way with overwhelming people who hear it with a rush of emotion. The reason we humans love music.
@@patrickb.mxer2184 Couldn't agree more you took the words out of my mouth my friend.Take care and stay safe.🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶
JOHN PERKINS Yes, vocal control is an excellent way of describing Bobby’s voice. I was so young during this time period. So happy for these video clips.
Very few humans can sing like that. Rare talent. 👍
Very rare, indeed
45 year old dude with tears rolling down his cheek watching this. Never saw him sing it and you reaction is amazing. My advice is to make sure you marry a guy that makes you feel the same way you did in this video.
She has been swooned! Lol! Her reaction is priceless!
Listen to tricky 205.
You see the dudes face when he was done? Like humble. Like, “thank you for letting me sing for you”
I once read that Bobby Hatfield suffered from terrible stage fright his whole life.
He sang effortlessly
I read that his mum and dad were in the audience and he was nervous but, that lip bite at the end says it all! He kknoocked it out the ballpark and then some! #nailedit 🎤 🎵 💯 😍
I’ve heard this song a million times but watching this brought tears to my eyes. Your reaction was priceless, the best I’ve seen ❤️
Awesome!
I reacted the same way watching her reaction and listening to that great song. I am a sensitive as well.
Yep,it is honestly the most priceless reaction I've watched...perfection
This song always brings tears to my eyes too. Mesmerising.
Simply priceless amazing... A mark of an open good ❤️💪🙏👍 person...
Almost 60 years ago (84) I danced to the Righteous Brothers at the Costa Mesa Armory in Costa Mesa California. Timeless
I'm straight, white, I'm male, I'm in my 30's, I've heard this song 1000 times, and I too feel like I was serenaded and put under a spell.
this is the BEST testament possible. thank you, brotha'.
This is such a beautiful comment and a testament to what a great performance this was
The looks on your face was as priceless as listening to his song.
I smiled too Jay watching her face.....priceless and beautiful.
She's making that face because she's never listened to real music. All this electronica stuff today... kids today just dont know
Bobby Hatfield, what a voice.
It is always good to watch a person that has never heard real music before get that emotional response like a part of their soul is missing and now it is found. That is what music is supposed to do.
Might be the most heartfelt song ever sung
I've watched a lot a reactions to this song: this particular live performance. Women always have the most emotional reaction to it.
This has got to be one of the purest reactions I'v ever seen to this song.
The expression on your face was priceless. you have officially been swooned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ma'am you just heard more talent on one stage then the entire music industry has in the Year 2021.
Aside from Ryan Upchurch.
MIKE TOMLINSON I AGREE WITH YOU 100.PERCENT.NOT.QUESTONS.
ASK
you mean since new years eve 2000 the millenial bug was real but hit music instead of computers god im old
@@tnaccountability7455 Who?????
A fabulous performance by Hatfield, a brilliant vocalist, and a touching well articulated response. Adds up to the best of what music can be.
The best reactions are from people so in awe they can’t say a word..
Sometimes when a person is at a loss for words, they say so much more
She literally stares at the screen for 80% of her videos, how is this even a reaction video. SMH, I came here because I didn't believe this could be popular.
I so agree !!!
@@takeit1229 Do you believe a "reaction" has to be loud or flashy? In this video in particular, Sushi is showing a whole range of emotional reaction through expression, gestures and body language. You just have to look at it.
