What is amazing about this song is that it is live.....flawless voice and total control of everything in this song. Never heard anything like it before or since....This was a guy with once in a lifetime talent. He wasn't called "blue eyed soul" for no reason.....an incredible voice.
This is the Holy Grail of this song. No one can get near it or ever will. God, he was gorgeous. He'd done 4 years in the navy before this in the Naval Airmen. He was only 25 when he sang on Andy Williams show above. As good as a career in the navy can be ( my 3 bros and father were all longterm navy servicemen in Australia) Bobby did the right thing by using his gift of voice and sing for the world.
Awww...the late great Bobby Hatfield. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. This is his song!!! No auto tune just pure raw talent! RIP Bobby! We miss you. ❤🙏❤
This performance is just perfectlion. And I don’t think any live performance will ever come close to it again. Because now they have autotune. Before it was just his voice, his vocal, which was stunning.
Bobby Hatfield was a natural born true countertenor which is so rare it's considered by many to be only 1 to a generation (the current internationally recognized countertenor is Mitch Grasse of Pentatonix). Bill Medley is a deep baritone. The Righteous Brothers were part of what is referred to as blue-eyed soul. Check out Bill performing "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" to have your mind blown. They always performed individually and together on all the albums. Two of their most famous joint songs "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration".
Unchained Melody, was written about a man in prison who missed his lover and wondered whether she would still be his by the time he was released from prison. So it’s full of desperate longing and other strong emotions. One of the things that makes this performance even more amazing is Bobby's Live Performance! No one sings this song like he did! Imo. He made it look so easy! Watch his face..he doesn't have to strain to hit those notes at all!!!
Thanks Bobby you gave us a great gift. I too loved how he started off softly and killed it at the end! Awesome and everyone agrees it took them to a whole new place they never expected. Blows me away each time I hear it.
Bobby Hatfield version of this song was the greatest.This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show there were no do overs, auto-tone or gimmicks Just his God given talent. HIS performance was effortless, smooth and sheer perfection no one will ever compare to this.Sorry but BOBBY HATFIELD OWNS THIS SONG ♥️ ❤️
Let the music flow Let the music flow- Let the music flow- Let the music flow- Let the music flow- Let the music flow- Let the music flow- Let the music flow; pleas, pleas, pleas.....
The name blue eyed soul was given to them by blacks who loved their music! The song was written for the movie “Unchained” years earlier. Although it has been covered by many huge named artist, Bobby Hatfield owns this song, My favorite song of all time! I even walked down the isle to this song! Great reaction on your part!
MAN OH MAN, A PERFORMANCE LIKE THIS FROM BOBBY HATFIELD BACK IN 1965 WOULD HAVE TO BE VIEWED NOW SURELY AS "X-FACTOR PLUS". BY THE WAY, BOBBYS VERSION OF "UNCHAINED MELODY" WAS IN THAT FAMOUS FILM "GHOST" STARRING PATERICK SWAYZE AND DEMI MOORE AND WHOOPI GOLDBERG
Back in the day we were leaving their show and I said the applause was deafening and she said that the applause was loud but all the panties hitting the stage was louder lol maybe lol
This was definitely Bobby's song oh man that dude could sing the Righteous Brothers and they were awesome I'm 70 years old I grew up listening to their music I was little young you know 9 10 years old and my brother had their music I listen to it and I tell you what loved it ever since check out more of their
What's really cool about their name is, they hadn't got a band name for them yet, and they were performing at a military installation in the 60's, and when they were done, their were some African Americans in the crowd and they were saying out loud " That Was Righteous Brothers! They took that comment and became The Righteous Brothers! Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield! Bobby was singing this particular song. We lost him in 2003. Bobby's voice is high, and Bill's voice is low. Check out You've Lost That Loving Feeling, where they both are singing.♥️✌️
His mother was in the audience when he sang this song live...no autotone, gimmicks...just pure God-given talent! The 60s produced The Righteous Brothers, The Beatles,, The Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, Elvis, The Temptations and many, many more of the greatest talents in music history. I was a teenager at this time...I grew up on the best music ever produced and I knew it at the time that nothing will ever "top it"! Still feel like I was right...then, Whitney Houston arrived on the scene. She is one of the greatest also.
@Wendy Ryder HI Wendy, haven't heard of her...but I will certainly look her up and listen to her. Thanks for telling me about her. I am someone who loves the music of the past but I also love to keep up with new talent. Listened to "Simply Red" today...such a beautiful, pure voice.
@Wendy Ryder I remember her from America's Got Talent and you are right...she will be considered one of the greatest voices. She is beautiful too. I just saw her sing Bohemian Raphsody and got goosebumps listening to her. Thank you again for giving me her name. I will always listen to her sing.
Their best hits are a trilogy...just like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. You need to hear "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" to complete the experience. And you will be so glad you did.
Oh our beautiful Bobby hatfield. I don't know if you will know exactly who I'm talking about but Bobby's voice has always put me in the mind of Aaron Neville. If you don't know who Aaron Neville is, may I suggest you give anything he ever sang a try. I think you will really like him. This is my very first video by you by the way.
I heard in an interview that black DJs named him "blue-eyed soul." They said it was the black DJs who first started playing the Righteous Brothers and they were one of the first crossover between black and white stations. Kind of opened the doors for others. If you want to hear how much soul he can have, his version of Summertime is arguably the best ever!
You get a better sense of the duo on "You've lost that loving feeling" or "Soul and Inspiration" both greats. BMI at one point listed "Loving Feeling" as the most listened to song of the 20th century.
I like your reaction to great music, there's only one Bobby Hatfield. I grew up listening to this music. I'll give you a recommendation for you to check out. Try a song by Grayson Hugh, called.......Talk it Over. He's not of the caliber of Bobby but the song is addictive. Let me know what you think, I'll be looking for your reaction video on it. Gave you a thumbs up for your appreciation of this great song.
I don't know who this Billy is you talking about here but this singer his name is Bobby Hatfield now the other singer that's part of the Righteous Brothers they aren't Brothers by the way this other member his name is Bill Medley and he has a deep baritone voice the two makeup the duo of the Righteous Brothers.
Bobby Hatfield (the singer of this song) passed away in 2003 of a cocaine overdose, but he lived long enough to be inducted along with his musical partner, Bill Medley, into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame a few months before his death.
Mary Murphy 1 minute ago (edited) THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE b B SIDE OF THE RECORD. THE A SIDE WHERE THEY BOTH SANG THEY THOUGHT WAS THE HIT. I NEVER HEARD THE A SIDE IT WENT NO WHERE. SO ANY WAY ON THE B SIDE THE OTHER BROTHER DID NOT THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE A HIT SO HE SAT OUT. BOY WAS HE WRONG
Bobby sang this alone because it was a solo… that comment was just some stage play. Bill produced the original recording and played piano on it, and it was intended as an album cut, not a single. Phil Specter put it on the B side of ‘Hung on You’, which charted at #45, because he considered it a throwaway….. just chance the deejays started playing the flip side and we have a classic….

This is the one and only Bobby Hatfield, with his golden voice. Bobby left us in 2003.
RIP ❤❤❤
He was amazing sings amongst the Angels today.
@michaelwinkelman7165 No, no, my friend --- Bobby Hatfield is up there teaching them other angels how to sing
This is what we “seniors” called “blue eyed soul” !
Top shelf blue eyed soul. In my Brooklyn neighborhood it was popular too all.
Now thats what you call a singer. Magnificent and never equaled,
What is amazing about this song is that it is live.....flawless voice and total control of everything in this song. Never heard anything like it before or since....This was a guy with once in a lifetime talent. He wasn't called "blue eyed soul" for no reason.....an incredible voice.

Ingrid, Bobbÿwas not in the navy. Must have been another with same name.
How can it be?? He starts singing with bill in 1962 . How could he be
for four years in the navy? He was born in 1940. From GER.
One of the best live performances of all time!
Awww...the late great Bobby Hatfield. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. This is his song!!! No auto tune just pure raw talent! RIP Bobby! We miss you. ❤🙏❤

Angelic voice ❤
It was my time, yeah I'm old but it was an awesome time and I grew up just 20 miles from him.
"Blue eyed soul" was coined by a soul music radio station DJ. So, not racist. Sweet and inclusionary. RIP to the incredibly talented, Bobby Hatfield.
That “I Need Your Love” run is crazy. Nobody sings like this anymore
Bobby Hatfield version of this song was the greatest.This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show there were no do overs, auto-tone or gimmicks Just his God given talent.

Listen to You've lost that Loving feeling
Yes, Bobby.
What a voice....
Man I love it. It's obvious you love and appreciate great music. This is the Best.
This is Bobby Hatfield -tenor.. Bill Medley is bass/baritone.
I was 14 yrs old and I was an instant fan of theirs.
Just his voice with a microphone NO AUTO TUNE OR ANYTHING JUST HIS PURE VOICE

Definitely a honied voice, smooth-as-silk, mellow, and totally, flawlessly, controlled by Bobby H.

Pure talent!
He had the prettiest eyes

Hmm! Ever heard of Angelina Jordan? Add her in to another of the greats, even though she’s only 16!

Amen to Bobby. Don’t forget about Ray Charles, he needs to be on your list.
Their best hits are a trilogy...just like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. You need to hear "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" to complete the experience. And you will be so glad you did.
It's Bobby Hatfield
Beautiful!!
This is the late Bobby Hatfield. The one who made this song a hit.
RIP ROBERT HARTLEY THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHER
This is know as Blue Eyed soul...
And remember this was live back in 1965.
Oh our beautiful Bobby hatfield. I don't know if you will know exactly who I'm talking about but Bobby's voice has always put me in the mind of Aaron Neville.

I Agree! He also recorded in Muscle Shouls and I think that is the name of the Album.

Bill is still alive and sang the song "The Time of My Life" from DIRTY DANCING

A forgotten Gem
Summertime is a virtuoso performance by Bobby Hatfield
I like your reaction to great music, there's only one Bobby Hatfield. I grew up listening to this music. I'll give you a recommendation for you to check out.

Gave you a thumbs up for your appreciation of this great song.
He should really check out his version of Summertime. Probably the best cover of that song, ever!
Bobby Hatfield was a countertenor.
Don’t forget about the violins and horns.
It was the Andy Williams orchestra.
"Summertime" (also sung by Bobby) will completely knock your socks off.
I don't know who this Billy is you talking about here but this singer his name is Bobby Hatfield now the other singer that's part of the Righteous Brothers they aren't Brothers by the way this other member his name is Bill Medley and he has a deep baritone voice the two makeup the duo of the Righteous Brothers.

I wish he got more information about them before getting hyped up about the wrong Righteous Brothers.
This singer is not Bill Medley this singer of unchained melody is The Great Bobby Hatfield may he rest in peace.
This is Bobby Hatfield-
are you going to yammer thru the entire performance?
I like this guy’s reaction to Bobby Hatfield. He’s a bit over the top. But he seems to have been impressed. Haha!
Omg !! You got it oh so wrong , this is Bobby , who died in 2003 , bill is his other half , bill is still alive !
Bobby Hatfield ....read the WHOLE Wikipedia article bro' just sayin'
1st, it's BILL Medley, not Billy and 2nd, that's not him. That is the late, great Robert Lee "Bobby" Hatfield.
Although, Bobby sometimes referred to him as Billy as well as other monikers.
His name is Bobby Hatfield
