Btw, just as a point of interest, this is one of the tracks that made Phil Spector huge as a producer - this was released on his label and it was his second No. 1 (his first was The Crystals He's a Rebel, and he did a lot of other vocal girl bands at the time) and it exemplifies what they called his "wall of sound" production technique - mainly lots of double and triple tracking of band/orchestra/choir parts, thickening and layering of different sounds, etc., all topped off with a huge echo chamber reverb and tons of audio compression. But the kicker is that it was all done in the days before 24 track multitrack recording (I can't remember but I think the max they had in those days was 4 track tape, so a lot of it was sub-mixed down to mono, then again sub-mixed down to mono (the Beatles stuff, right up to the fantastically complex Sgt. Pepper album was done like that too, as well as the incredibly rich, dense Beach Boys sound - a lot of the more "arty" pop music up to about the end of the 60s was done like that). Fortunately it was all top quality electronics so there wasn't _too_ much loss. Very interesting stuff if you're a musician and/or play around with sequencers or music gear yourself.
the song is close to 50yrs old now and will probably outlast all of us. your reaction was good, but you have to watch some of the ladies react to it as well. they all wither when he sings the line " baby baby, i get down on my knees for you" (a lesson to us all?)
Twon, I reacted to this video (your video) a couple of years back, but I can't find my comment now. I guess it's too far back, lol. But I do more or less remember what I said back then. And I want to say it again now. I am an older white man. A Canadian. You need and 'deserve' to know that I see so much respect from you toward white people, and that you did not want to insult any white people about the fact that you did not know the Righteous Brothers are white. It's all good brother. There is no reason for you to say "I'm sorry". You did nothing wrong. You come across to me as one of the best types of people on earth. If I was your dad I would be very proud of you. As it is, I am white, I am not your dad... and I am STILL very proud of you. It's not our skin color that matters. Our soul is the only thing that matters. And you are beautiful one. You are such a nice 'kid'. With No Limit. Thanks again for letting us see your reaction to one of the greatest songs of all time. Lotsa love & respect from old Dan in western Canada. 👊
This was the song with the most airplay in radio/TV for the 20th century. Please react to more of their music. Soul and Inspiration You'll Never Walk Alone Bring it on home to me Guess who And there are so many others. Please check out their catalog. But you must check out Bobby Hatfield "Summertime" live performance 1965. He will blow your mind with his soulful vocals. His vocal range and control is exceptional.
My Dad introduced me to Righteous Brothers and explained blue eyed soul and how they got their name. He introduced me to all the bands of his age and I still love them today
Not quite. This is the studio recording with them lip syncing to it. It was common back then to lip sync on TV. They were definitely great and did amazing live shows, but this particular one is lip synced. Most of the performances on American bandstand were
There is black soul and white soul We are all brothers. Great music is just great music. This song came out about 1965. I am white and love Marvin Gaye all mowtown. Music can help all of us forget the past and be brothers. We are brothers. All created by one God!!
Love it! I'm a 75 year old woman and I'm sitting here so delighted that you are being introduced to the music I LIVED in. Talk about great music....we had it in spades! We were so blessed, and didn't even know it. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💜
I'm 72 and I remember when they first started. I can't believe it I started crying lol. Those were the good old day's. I love them. This brings back so many good memories
I’m 65! Love this music. My daughter was born late in my life. Freaks people out she knows music back to the 50’s! I think Queen and David Bowie is her favs! She’s 27 now!
Not racist at all. The Righteous brothers had a lot of people left with their mouth hanging open. Their voices is some of the best soul out there. Everyone loved them no matter the color of the skin. Everyone loved them. Their voices are amazing and I just wish I would have been able to go see them live. All women were in love with them as they not only have voices that can melt you back in the day they were two of the most handsome men as well. Nope when it came to them. Race was invisible
Dave Meyer I’m not a marine, but I know some marines and I knew the distinction would matter to any marines who read it so that’s why I made note of it lol.
Their manager booked them into an all black nightclub on their first stage performance. Audience booed them when they first came out. They just shrugged and started singing and everyone there just stopped and cheered.
Similar thing happened to them in Philly at the old Uptown Theater. They were introduced at our Blue Eyed soul Brothers. The audience couldn't imagine them being white. They were booed but then they started singing and it was a wrap.
Listen to the story where Jamie Fox had Ed Sheeran stay at his house and then Fox introduced him to the audience at the Apollo… playing a ukulele. This was before Sheeran was famous.
I'm 75yrs.old,and I remember when this song ,and Unchained Melody came out,I cried every time I heard it.😥.It still sounds good.Oh the wonderful memories. Only Bill Medley is alive now at 78 yrs.old,Bobby Hatfield died in 2003.
At 75; we lived through and matured during the most splendiferous moments of music history. None better. Yes, the 40’s were fabulous - great songs and composers, but the swing era - singular. We ran the gamut of music possibilities.
You're not alone - I'm 81 years old- when they came out - many of us teens taught they were black - but believe it or not - IN THOSE DAYS (out in Cal) it didn't make any difference. It didn't matter who they were or what culture they were - it WAS ABOUT THE MUSIC! We were into the Platters, Supremes, Sam Cook, Fats Domino, etc. I like your jig - keep it up.
It was Absolutely Amazing the music we 70 & older grew up with,,, we had no color back then,,,, it was ALL GREAT MUSIC,,, these guys of course,& Elvis,Tom Jones,Dean Martin,,, just the Most Beautiful & Blessed Voices & yes,,,, Smokey,Temptations,Stevie,Little Anthony, No Color in Music🥰🎤🎼 I’m So Happy your experiencing these old songs,, Truly Magical & Pure,,, without all the electronics. & gadgets they use now,,, all Natural💜
I’m 71 years old and remember hearing these songs on the radio when they first came out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching this guy listen to them for the first time!!!
I'm 60 and I remember it well too. Same reaction as you. 🙂 I can never get enough of listening to them. Simply awesome. And, I agree it is super cool to see a much younger generation discovering and appreciating the gems we grew up on. Some songs are just timeless. This is definitely one of them.
I'm 67 years old and I still enjoy this I wonder if these kids today realize this was live with a live Orchestra and a live choir there was no auto-tune in 1960s
Gotcha, son! I grew up with these dudes. Also, Elvis, the Temptations, Tom Jones, Roy Orbison, Kenny Rogers, etc. This guys had TALENT! Color has nothing to do with it! You've just discovered pure talent, ad you'll never be satisfied with less!
Isnt it a pity we dont have this music as our norm anymore? Everybody who enjoys music would enjoy this, regardless of the race of the artist. The love of music is the love of music. We're all the same. We all appreciate "good"in the same way. Im 60, white, South African. And i appreciate ure appreciation. No Limit Twon reminds me of my own son Greg, who is 35 and plays the drums in a church choir. Greg appreciates this era of music too.
@@leedavis9576 Judging from the reactions we see in these various videos, its clear to me that Soul has its deserved place back here today. I say Bring It Back!! There is a definite place in the market for this genre today. Besides, who decides what flavour of music should be popular on the day?? The producers? Our radio stations? With the advent of the internet, it is accessible to all and everyone now. We, the people the plebs, can decide what we want to listen to. The younger generation who missed out on Soul don't even know that it existed. Therein lies the challenge....
All races have soul! We self segregate and don’t listen to each other that is why I love young people of all races are exploring these great artists! We are more alike than different and music proves it! Love the journey young man.
that wonderful mix ended in the late 70s early 80s...then we all got in our queues. Back in the 70s, the radio would play Dolly Parton, Earth Wind and Fire, Marshall Tucker Band, Aerosmith, The Commodores, The Bee Gees, The Staple Singers...it was a big gumbo of different seasonings. What happened to us?
There was a time when music was bringing all races together. Bands like Sly, the Allmans, Santana, Jimi and Redbone were multiracial and appealed to everyone (except the old folks!) The powers that be felt threatened by this... Now I'm the old fart, but I pine for those days...
You are absolutely right about self-segregation. The socially acceptable way we segregate these days is (sort of) not genetic. It's politics. On both sides, we divide and hurl insults over politics. I said "sort of" because while it's not genetic at all, politics are driven by our social influences... which for some, goes back to genetics and how their ancestors were treated. We need middle ground in the world. People need to see this.
I'm an old white woman...their music is an example of how no matter how deficient in Melanin ...Music doesn't recognize or discriminate petty differences. You're absolutely correct in assuming that they're really colorless. Appreciate music for music's sake. The more you know, huh??
You know, in my head I still think I'm 21. I forget I'm old. But to see you discover song that I assumed everybody knew 1. makes me feel old, but 2. brings me so much joy watching you rediscover what I thought/think are really good songs. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Wow, I am so glad to see that younger people appreciate OUR music from our times! We were so lucky to have experienced all this great music! Hope that many more generations will enjoy and appreciate the great music of the 1960s and 1970s!!!
Twon is completely right, no racism needed for a song that is timeless and forevermore. I don’t care who sung the tune. It never matters to me where a song comes from. If a good tune is a tune I know it.
Either, i fell the same. There's one race, human race. Many etnical sources and cultural background makes The beauty of human Chorus. Thank you brother!!! Best energies and good hopes from a brazilian music player
I wonder how many people would quit listening to certain music if are racist. I grew up accepting people for who they were not by the skin color or ethnic group.Music, art, etc. doesn't matter who did it if it makes you happy or brings pleasure to your life.There's more racism today then there was 40 years ago, so incredibly sad.
I am so glad a lot of you youngster's are experiencing our music from back in the day, soul, Motown, a bit of pop and disco, rock & roll, regae, you will always find something that will give you goosebumps or totally blow your mind! Enjoy your journey through the years as you will fall in love with the music just as we did!
I have to tell you of all the people I listen to on reactions to songs you are my favorite because of your reactions to alot of your expressions. I love your reactions
Oh Yeah, I Second that emotion, JP & Heather~ This baby keeps it real ~ He has so much integrity for his youthful years ~ I love his pure passion, openness and enthusiasm ~ His soulful passion runs deep ~ Much Love & The Best Life to you, Twon ~;-) NO LIMIT, reach for it ~!
Please don't be sorry for having thought they were black. It makes me a little sad how we, no matter what color our skin is, have to walk on eggshells so we don't offend anyone. At this point I think, if someone wants to be offended, let them. That's their deal. I appreciate your videos. God bless you dear.
OK, this is the first time I've seen YOUR reaction channel. I've watched a bunch. Until now my fav was Too Sushi. But now you're closing in on her. I'm 74, white, and WAS 6'8, 230. I listened to Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield when riding in my first broken down car with a bench seat so my baby could snuggle me up at the drive-in. I heard them through a nasty old AM radio and they sounded unbelievable THEN and they still sound unbelievable. I'm SO HAPPY to see cool dudes like you get into The Righteous Brothers. I feel you feeling them. I love your comment about the racial thing, too. You're right, they had so much soul. When I watch you feeling them it reminds me of playing ball in Richmond on a church team with a few black friends. We'd score and come down the court smacking each other shuffling backwards to the other end. What a great feeling! Now that I'm two inches shorter and 100 pounds heavier I still get the chill bumps when I think about those great times...just like when I watch YOU react to these blue eyed soul brothers. Thanks for taking me back!!! I love you, man.
Isn't that the way it is? You get old. You get short. You get fat. I'm tellin' you, Man: it's gravity. Gravity takes its toll. And I didn't start out _nearly_ as tall as you. So, I'm _way_ closer to the ground now. But, my center of gravity gives me a little bit of an advantage. If you know what I mean. Bein' built for comfort is _much_ better than bein' built for speed. Ha.
Holy Wow, No Limit Twon, I have to tell you I've watched more than 20 reactions to that particular song and while I've enjoyed enjoyed them a little bit, watching YOUR face while listening to that masterpiece broke me down into a puddle of tears. Your face communicates what you are feeling so loudly that it vibrates my heart. This was my first time on your channel, but I'll go check out your library. Thank You for putting your entire self into this.
You wouldn’t be the first person to be surprised that the two dudes singing are white, but, hey, if you’ve got Soul in your voice, you’ve got Soul in your voice, and Soul knows no color. Want some more Blue-Eyed Soul in your life? Check out Dusty Springfield “Son of a Preacher Man”. Start the video, then close your eyes. Wait for the pause after the first verse, then open your eyes, and be prepared to be surprised, again.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were so soulful, when I was a toddler that I was told that I would just listen to them. That was the 60’s. They have very soothing voices. They will always be a great memory for me
I love watching black people react to The Righteous Brothers! Everyone says the same thing. Please do the live version of "Unchained Melody" which is a solo by Bobby! Also "Soul and Inspiration" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You."
We're all one race: the human race, and we all react the same way to good music. Thanks to YT letting me see the same awesome reactions from you when I was your age :-)
Term "blue eyed soul" originated with black DJs when they wanted to hip their black (brown eyed) listeners to the fact that they were going to play a record by white dudes. (blue eyed was code for white) Anyway eventually both groups came to love them, proving that music can unite people. I am a new subscriber and I ❤ your expressive reaction. Try Soul and Inspiration-live or I Just Wanna Make Love To You (Moonglow Years recording.
I've seen alot of reactions to this song & the Righteous Brothers & this is my favorite so far my friend! Please do "(You're My) Soul & Inspiration" by them! It's my favorite! And I think that you'll really like it too! Thank you! Have a great night! Stay safe! 💯🔥🖤🎶🤘
I like this reaction to a great song, Yeah, out with racism- music transcends that nonsense. We should appreciate the beautiful variety of our skin tones. We are each unique, and we are all one.
I wasn't even born when this song was a hit. Maaaan, what an incredibly soulful song. One you have to stop, have the moment, and reflect upon the one you love who is no longer in your life. It is heartache and emotional pain and that is universal. The call and response at the apex is what makes this song! It's a classic for the ages!
It brings me such joy to see your expressions when you listen to this song. The Righteous Brothers was my father’s favourite duo. It’s nice to see others enjoying their music :)
You know when you purposefully go down a rabbit hole by typing "reactions" and you run into one of the realist reactors you've seen in so long you immediately hit sub? Today was MY day ❤
They were my favourite singers when I was a senior in high school, I was even lucky enough to go to one of their concerts. I’m so glad you like them too, and it wouldn’t matter if they were purple.
Love this song, and your commentary, my friend. His voice sounds like an emotional angel at the end of a bright hallway. Lol You've got a bright, curious, beautiful old soul for a young guy. God bless and best wishes. - Blaise F.
When I was in high school, Bill Medley and Bo Diddly showed up, unannounced, at lunch time. Saw them drive up and they talked to us for a few then got up on stage in the auditorium and sang then they were gone. Felt really privileged to be one of the few to see them...just happened to be in the right place at the same time.
At 72 yr's old I got to grow up listening to these singers, Elvis and more and they were the real deal...You just don't have this today...Really enjoying you guys getting introduced to the outrageous talent we enjoyed back in the day...If you haven't heard Elvis do, "If I Can Dream", you gotta do it...Amazing...
Don't forget Phil specters wall of sound that gave it that echo and bass sound, incredible 👌 😉 👏 but their voices killed it. And it hasn't been matched since. I was only 7 when it came out and I knew this was a a blockbuster hit song 🎵 😂
I’m an old white woman and grew up listening to Righteous Brothers. I had the same reaction as you did when I found out they were white! I love you and your honesty. ❤️
This song just moves the soul!!!! It transcends every shade of human, every perception- its like hearing a truth for the first time but it resonates as if you already knew it. Incredible to watch you hear this. ♥️♥️♥️🙌🏻
I can’t believe this video is still doing good after all these years😳.Thank you guys so much❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

Bass singer was Bill Medley and the Alto was Bobby Hatfield. One of the greatest duo's of all times.
I HAVE to agree with you! I saw them in concert when I was in high school. Absolutely unforgettable! Blue Eyed Soul!
Damn straight!
The Bill Medley from the Dirty Dancing song? Never realised that, thanks!

THE perfect antidote to rap: the RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS!
@@rickr442 the righteous brothers are the candy and rap is the wrapper (badum tss).
You eat the candy and throw away the wrapper.
The term "Blue Eyed Soul" originated with these guys.
They took that name after a performance when a black artist declared, “that was righteous, brothers.”
I'm 67 years old and I still enjoy this I wonder if these kids today realize this was live with a live Orchestra and a live choir there was no auto-tune in 1960s
Now you're cooking...next stop...
Unchained Melody
Of course
Yes yes yes!
And I just wanna make love to you.Its one of the Righteous Brothers (must have) songs
And at some point, Dusty Springfield doing "Son of a Preacher Man".
This was done with NO SPECIAL EFFECTS at all. Straight talent
Everyone thinks they're black when they start singing, they were labeled blue eyed soul back in the day.
Especially when they sang Unchained Melody!!
#ICONIC #BlueEyedSoul
Gotcha, son! I grew up with these dudes. Also, Elvis, the Temptations, Tom Jones, Roy Orbison, Kenny Rogers, etc. This guys had TALENT! Color has nothing to do with it! You've just discovered pure talent, ad you'll never be satisfied with less!

Back in the 70s, the radio would play Dolly Parton, Earth Wind and Fire, Marshall Tucker Band, Aerosmith, The Commodores, The Bee Gees, The Staple Singers...it was a big gumbo of different seasonings. What happened to us?
There was a time when music was bringing all races together. Bands like Sly, the Allmans, Santana, Jimi and Redbone were multiracial and appealed to everyone (except the old folks!) The powers that be felt threatened by this... Now I'm the old fart, but I pine for those days...
Says everyone are alike. Uses the word "race".
All 3 races have soul?
No shit.:D
You are absolutely right about self-segregation. The socially acceptable way we segregate these days is (sort of) not genetic. It's politics. On both sides, we divide and hurl insults over politics. I said "sort of" because while it's not genetic at all, politics are driven by our social influences... which for some, goes back to genetics and how their ancestors were treated. We need middle ground in the world. People need to see this.
Unchained melody by Elvis and these guys, unbeatable 🥰
I'm an old white woman...their music is an example of how no matter how deficient in Melanin ...Music doesn't recognize or discriminate petty differences. You're absolutely correct in assuming that they're really colorless. Appreciate music for music's sake.
The more you know, huh??
In the 60s an 70s I couldn't afford albums, no MTV, no videos... we didn't care what anyone looked like; we just LOVED the music!!! Peace and love.
Amen
Same here, hahaha, but we LOVED the music.
You know, in my head I still think I'm 21. I forget I'm old. But to see you discover song that I assumed everybody knew 1. makes me feel old, but 2. brings me so much joy watching you rediscover what I thought/think are really good songs. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I love The Righteous Brothers, there voices are as beautiful as a baby's smile.
I´m 75,and stil get chills every ime I hear it
Wow, I am so glad to see that younger people appreciate OUR music from our times! We were so lucky to have experienced all this great music! Hope that many more
generations will enjoy and appreciate the great music of the 1960s and 1970s!!!
Twon is completely right, no racism needed for a song that is timeless and forevermore. I don’t care who sung the tune. It never matters to me where a song comes from.
If a good tune is a tune I know it.
Either, i fell the same.
There's one race, human race. Many etnical sources and cultural background makes The beauty of human Chorus.
Thank you brother!!!
Best energies and good hopes from a brazilian music player
They were called "blue eyed soul" as a nick name.
No racism nowhere !
Completelly agree. Music and true fridship have no race, or any of those details that make people discriminate one another.
I wonder how many people would quit listening to certain music if are racist. I grew up accepting people for who they were not by the skin color or ethnic group.Music, art, etc. doesn't matter who did it if it makes you happy or brings pleasure to your life.There's more racism today then there was 40 years ago, so incredibly sad.
I have been listening to good music all my life. Makes no difference who sings it. We are so lucky to have these artists.
This is all without auto tune - it's just their voices and their talent.
Like your reaction this is what life is about just enjoying it no matter what color
I am so glad a lot of you youngster's are experiencing our music from back in the day, soul, Motown, a bit of pop and disco, rock & roll, regae, you will always find something that will give you goosebumps or totally blow your mind! Enjoy your journey through the years as you will fall in love with the music just as we did!
This is one of the best reaction videos. Your face and joy is priceless. And adorable.
your reaction is priceless.
Everybody thought they were black when they hit the Air Waves. A term was quickly coined for them called "Blue Eyed Soul".
I have to tell you of all the people I listen to on reactions to songs you are my favorite because of your reactions to alot of your expressions. I love your reactions
Same. You can tell he is feeling the music in his soul. Such pure reactions. I love it.
Oh Yeah, I Second that emotion, JP & Heather~ This baby keeps it real ~ He has so much integrity for his youthful years ~ I love his pure passion, openness and enthusiasm ~ His soulful passion runs deep ~ Much Love & The Best Life to you, Twon ~;-) NO LIMIT, reach for it ~!
Yea, I agree!
I so agree and he's sincere.
Everyone who hasn’t seen them thinks they’re black, so no it’s not a race thing
Please don't be sorry for having thought they were black. It makes me a little sad how we, no matter what color our skin is, have to walk on eggshells so we don't offend anyone. At this point I think, if someone wants to be offended, let them. That's their deal. I appreciate your videos. God bless you dear.
OK, this is the first time I've seen YOUR reaction channel. I've watched a bunch. Until now my fav was Too Sushi. But now you're closing in on her. I'm 74, white, and WAS 6'8, 230. I listened to Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield when riding in my first broken down car with a bench seat so my baby could snuggle me up at the drive-in. I heard them through a nasty old AM radio and they sounded unbelievable THEN and they still sound unbelievable. I'm SO HAPPY to see cool dudes like you get into The Righteous Brothers. I feel you feeling them. I love your comment about the racial thing, too. You're right, they had so much soul. When I watch you feeling them it reminds me of playing ball in Richmond on a church team with a few black friends. We'd score and come down the court smacking each other shuffling backwards to the other end. What a great feeling! Now that I'm two inches shorter and 100 pounds heavier I still get the chill bumps when I think about those great times...just like when I watch YOU react to these blue eyed soul brothers. Thanks for taking me back!!! I love you, man.
Isn't that the way it is? You get old. You get short. You get fat. I'm tellin' you, Man: it's gravity. Gravity takes its toll. And I didn't start out _nearly_ as tall as you. So, I'm _way_ closer to the ground now. But, my center of gravity gives me a little bit of an advantage. If you know what I mean. Bein' built for comfort is _much_ better than bein' built for speed. Ha.
Holy Wow, No Limit Twon, I have to tell you I've watched more than 20 reactions to that particular song and while I've enjoyed enjoyed them a little bit, watching YOUR face while listening to that masterpiece broke me down into a puddle of tears. Your face communicates what you are feeling so loudly that it vibrates my heart. This was my first time on your channel, but I'll go check out your library. Thank You for putting your entire self into this.
Ditto...
These were one of the best back in the day white or black with no auto tune
AMAZING 👏
Pure talent!!!!
You wouldn’t be the first person to be surprised that the two dudes singing are white, but, hey, if you’ve got Soul in your voice, you’ve got Soul in your voice, and Soul knows no color. Want some more Blue-Eyed Soul in your life? Check out Dusty Springfield “Son of a Preacher Man”. Start the video, then close your eyes. Wait for the pause after the first verse, then open your eyes, and be prepared to be surprised, again.
You are slaying me here! You reaction is priceless!!
That is how I felt in the 60’s when I heard this. Yeah, pure soul. Righteous!
You made me giggle when your whole mouth dropped!! 💕
Blue eyed soul love it.
Don't worry. You are probably the 10th black person reacting to them that I've heard say the same thing.
Been lovin this song for the last 50 years. Soul transcends race. Love watching you react.
I love your reaction to this song! Very genuine
I’ve always loved the righteous brothers
When you sound this good live you have talent! They didn't need backup dancers. They were just smooth soul.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield were so soulful, when I was a toddler that I was told that I would just listen to them. That was the 60’s. They have very soothing voices. They will always be a great memory for me
One of the best duo's ever in soul and it rocks this song.
These brothers are classic! All soul! All heart! So amazing,history in the making! Us old folks know how to have soul!
Remember the name Righteous Brothers. Nothing but Great Music. And Great Music knows no race or creed it just Knows Great Music
You nailed it - a SOULFUL voice is a SOULFUL voice. Period.
I love watching black people react to The Righteous Brothers! Everyone says the same thing. Please do the live version of "Unchained Melody" which is a solo by Bobby! Also "Soul and Inspiration" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You."
Most beautiful version of this song ever..Unchained by Bobby...
We're all one race: the human race, and we all react the same way to good music. Thanks to YT letting me see the same awesome reactions from you when I was your age :-)
No race thing brother, this cat brings some soul. That voice....
Genuine, in the moment, reaction. So expressive… enjoy the song so much more. Thank you.🕊
No worries, we can all see you are bursting the color bubble. It's beautiful!! Love knows no color.
"I hope they have some more music"
Righteous brothers - hold my beer
"Blue Eyed Soul" as it was called.
Term "blue eyed soul" originated with black DJs when they wanted to hip their black (brown eyed) listeners to the fact that they were going to play a record by white dudes. (blue eyed was code for white) Anyway eventually both groups came to love them, proving that music can unite people. I am a new subscriber and I ❤ your expressive reaction. Try Soul and Inspiration-live or I Just Wanna Make Love To You (Moonglow Years recording.
This song is timeless.......class
Yes finally , the two of them together ❤ ❤
This song came out when I was in junior high and I still get the same reaction. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your reaction is precious!
They were the best!
I've seen alot of reactions to this song & the Righteous Brothers & this is my favorite so far my friend!
Please do
"(You're My) Soul & Inspiration" by them! It's my favorite! And I think that you'll really like it too! Thank you!
Have a great night!
Stay safe!
💯🔥🖤🎶🤘
I like this reaction to a great song, Yeah, out with racism- music transcends that nonsense. We should appreciate the beautiful variety of our skin tones. We are each unique, and we are all one.
I like that. Tones. Like harmony. We are not different colors, but tones. And tones blend, and create beautiful music
Young man you have absolutely nothing to apologize for, that's how they sound to everyone, blue eyed soul all day long.
I wasn't even born when this song was a hit. Maaaan, what an incredibly soulful song. One you have to stop, have the moment, and reflect upon the one you love who is no longer in your life. It is heartache and emotional pain and that is universal. The call and response at the apex is what makes this song! It's a classic for the ages!
I loved your reactions and comments ❤
Watching people react to this song never gets old. Really a perfect song sung and arranged perfectly. Thanks
It brings me such joy to see your expressions when you listen to this song. The Righteous Brothers was my father’s favourite duo. It’s nice to see others enjoying their music :)
Music is a timeless language that's for everyone.
You know when you purposefully go down a rabbit hole by typing "reactions" and you run into one of the realist reactors you've seen in so long you immediately hit sub? Today was MY day ❤
They were my favourite singers when I was a senior in high school, I was even lucky enough to go to one of their concerts. I’m so glad you like them too, and it wouldn’t matter if they were purple.
We used to say: “Blue-eyed soul brothers”. The RBs are definitely them.
Love this song, and your commentary, my friend. His voice sounds like an emotional angel at the end of a bright hallway. Lol You've got a bright, curious, beautiful old soul for a young guy. God bless and best wishes. - Blaise F.
I was thirteen when these two angels sang to me and believe me this girl received that blue eyed soul. Don’t make me take you all to church.
When I was in high school, Bill Medley and Bo Diddly showed up, unannounced, at lunch time. Saw them drive up and they talked to us for a few then got up on stage in the auditorium and sang then they were gone. Felt really privileged to be one of the few to see them...just happened to be in the right place at the same time.
ever since music started bringing us together. they have worked overtime to divide us. We wont let them. Peace
There is a reason this is called Blue Eyed Soul! Love the Righteous Brothers. Glad you enjoyed it!
"Blue Eyed Soul"!!! 👏🏼. I love these kinds of videos. You're awesome and super entertaining. ❤️
At 72 yr's old I got to grow up listening to these singers, Elvis and more and they were the real deal...You just don't have this today...Really enjoying you guys getting introduced to the outrageous talent we enjoyed back in the day...If you haven't heard Elvis do, "If I Can Dream", you gotta do it...Amazing...
Don't forget Phil specters wall of sound that gave it that echo and bass sound, incredible 👌 😉 👏 but their voices killed it. And it hasn't been matched since. I was only 7 when it came out and I knew this was a a blockbuster hit song 🎵 😂
One of the best reactions I've seen
They had lots of great songs. Soul and Inspiration, Rock and Roll Heaven, Unchained Melody, Little Latin Lupe Lu...
After watching thousand's of Reaction Videos, this is still my favorite!
Pure talent….!! Blue-eyed soul….!
I’m an old white woman and grew up listening to Righteous Brothers. I had the same reaction as you did when I found out they were white! I love you and your honesty. ❤️
TWON
No one has more soul in their spirit then you
❣️❣️❣️‼️💯
We had some great music when I was a kid. People could really sing and play their instruments.
This song just moves the soul!!!! It transcends every shade of human, every perception- its like hearing a truth for the first time but it resonates as if you already knew it. Incredible to watch you hear this. ♥️♥️♥️🙌🏻
I love your comment. Incredible. 💕
Beautiful sincere reaction. Welcome to "blue eyed soul". There's a lot more where that came from. Keep smilin'.
There sitting down! Almost impossible to hit those notes or even emote when sitting. Incredible! 🤩
