Bobby Hatfield is arguably the greatest tenor of all time. Bill Medley is arguably the greatest baritone of all time. And the Righteous Brothers are arguably the best group of all time.
Bill Medley Baritone and Bobby Hatfield Counter Tenor the "Righteous Brothers" are a match made in heaven. Rest In Peace Bobby Hatfield. You left us all with an incredible legacy of great music and song.
Every time I see one of these clips, I'm reminded -- this is live-to-tape, no effects. An actual performance, their own voices together. You can count the number of artists who can pull this off now on one hand.
What is absolutely mind blowing is for over 40 yrs they delivered this greatness as singers and yet only now are they reaching a music audience. These two have a Catalog of great music
They were the hottest group going in the sixties… 22 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and three albums in the top 15 at the same time. (Even the Beatles hadn’t done that). Besides being regulars on Shindig and Hullabaloo, they did all the big variety shows like Ed Sullivan, Bob Hope, Andy Williams….. it’s great to see their music coming back to prominence now, but they were not unappreciated in their heyday 😁
@@marvinboswell6889 I liked the Beatles …. But I loved the RB. I was 16 in ‘62 and followed them right from the beginning. Being a west coaster (Canada) that started when Lupe Lu hit the airwaves😁
I wouldn't say, "only now" by any stretch - these guys were huge back in the day ( actually over few decades of "days") and had many hits. I knew the name, "Righteous Brothers" as a child, long before I even heard any of their music.
NOBODY as great as Bobby , but try Eric clampton, Percy Sledge, Linda Ronstadt, even Sinatra had a great one: "The Summer Breeze", Jim Croche. . . So many, sò many. Jackie Wilson. And on. All fantastic, but God, thank you for Bobby.
They were a great pair! The way the Righteous Brothers exchange pitch or to say vocal range is incredible pitch!!! It is NO wander why they were accepted into the Hall of Fame! Both were very gifted!! 🙏❤️❤️🙏
Two of the greatest voices in pop music history, singing one of the most beautiful songs written by one of the greatest song writing teams in musical theater history. "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the musical "Carousel" written by Rogers and Hammerstein.
A few soccer clubs use this as their song. Have to react to a video of Liverpool fans signing this in unison. Extremely powerful to witness a whole stadium full of fans chanting this to support the players
The message, music and their great vocals all come together in this video. Everyone can be inspired to keep on even in hard times listening to this. As a person of faith, it may mean something different to me than to others, but there is hope for all of us here when we need it, whatever our beliefs.
Mr Lboyd, you give us a thoughtful analysis with your words, and you reflect the music and the emotion in your reactions. You magnify this beautiful performance
They are talking about you are never walking alone because God is always with you. This is from the movie musical Carousel I believe? I’ve heard many gospel groups sing this but the Righteous Brothers do it the best!
watched them live in Vegas in the 90"s they were outstanding what a show . also Elvis does this song but only an audio but also outstanding, Elvis has a lot of different voices and it depends on the song which one he uses but you know it's Elvis
This was a mammoth hit for Gerry and the Pacemakers in the 60s. It was adopted by the Liverpool football club and is sung by 100K + fans before every game. Whenever he was home Gerry Marsden would lead them until he passed not long ago. Look up a video of it - it's spine chilling.
Have you reacted to their rock songs? My Babe, ‘Koko Joe’ , ‘Justine! ‘ (That one needs to be the studio recording because the lyrics are a bit raunchy and they sanitized them for TV), ‘I Just Wanna Make Love to you’ and Summertime a great blues songs. ‘Just Once in my Life’ and ‘This side of Goodbye’ were hits for them. Bobby’s ’Ebb Tide’ is another gorgeous solo (again no live performances available - there is a guy who does a Bobby tribute live so don’t be fooled. ‘Soul and Inspiration’, ‘Hey Girl’ ‘Let The Good Times Roll’….
As perfect as Bobby Hatfield’s voice is, there is something abt the way Gerry Rafferty sings it, in the more we’ll known version. It’s like he feels the pain, the hope, the love in the words, since he was from Liverpool and knows the sorrow and fight behind their (now) meaning. IE The Hillsboro 97
That is what we got to listen to in the 50s, 60s and early 70s, by many singers and groups, and yes The Righteous Brothers had range, touch and power. Sadly most of the music in the 90s and since is aided, not natural,,, Try The Crests and the Brooklyn Bridge, lead singer of both groups is Johnny Maestro. Many female singers and groups had the same range, touch and power,,, a magical era.
Mr. L hope yr feeling better I know yr dealing with that lousy Covid. Rolling Stone magazine has the Everly Bros as the best Duo ever, I disagree Bobby and Bill are hands down. To me their the Dynamic Duo!
Please react on 6 foot 7 foot by lil Wayne Please react on I'm me by lil Wayne 🙏 Please react on famous by lil Wayne 🙏 Please react on glory by lil Wayne 🙏
Firstly, for once your “hiding screen” was in harmony with the song-stormy raindrops! Also, toward the end of the song the melody line was completely lost, replaced by harmonies. Don’t like that as it disrespects the original songwriter. I have heard these men perform many, many times but had never heard this song by them before. Interesting.
Bobby Hatfield is arguably the greatest tenor of all time. Bill Medley is arguably the greatest baritone of all time. And the Righteous Brothers are arguably the best group of all time.
Well said . . . that simply says it.
They aren't arguably, they ARE the greatest duo of all time! The Dynamic Duo had more range and versatility than anyone else!!
Great duo, great voices that complemented each other so beautifully❣
And that piano ... amazing accompaniment. Really complimented the guys delivery.
Bill Medley Baritone and Bobby Hatfield Counter Tenor the "Righteous Brothers" are a match made in heaven. Rest In Peace Bobby Hatfield. You left us all with an incredible legacy of great music and song.
Their harmony is magic.
This is an absolute gem, to watch this performance......Only You is another great one.
I get goosebumps every time I hear them sing this. It's so much...on a whole 'nother level!
Every time I see one of these clips, I'm reminded -- this is live-to-tape, no effects. An actual performance, their own voices together. You can count the number of artists who can pull this off now on one hand.
Yep and the electronic at that time left a lot to be desired but most singers for that era were real vocalist

@@zanhar7688 I no , I was humming there songs back ,lol , but it's a long time between 64 and 2022 , I was never a big Beatles fan

Beautiful harmonizing, great voices of the legendary Righteous Brothers!

Bobby's stage fright is always so visible, and still he slays every single song! Love them!
I think that some of this is Bobby Hatfield's absolute intentionality, integrity, and intensity to sing this spiritual solemn song perfectly.
A few soccer clubs use this as their song. Have to react to a video of Liverpool fans signing this in unison. Extremely powerful to witness a whole stadium full of fans chanting this to support the players
Nah bro celtic do it better
@@ryankelly3093 yea a few probably do it better really comes down to which video is the best on YT
Hail hail
Most famously when Liverpool vs Dortmund in Euro League match at Anfield. Both set of fans consider this as their anthem and they sing together.
They were AMAZING
They were so amazing. There's no one now days even close to these guys.
How can this song ever be topped? Even by The Righteous Brothers.
The phrase 'dynamic duo' was invented for these young men. Check out "Ebb Tide".
The message, music and their great vocals all come together in this video. Everyone can be inspired to keep on even in hard times listening to this.

I started to love this song when I went to the National Theatre and saw Carousel
Bobby....💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
Solo, together, these two guys were the most inspirational duo ever.
Great harmony ! Magnificent !
Great voices ! Pure magic !! It touches your heart!
watched them live in Vegas in the 90"s they were outstanding what a show . also Elvis does this song but only an audio but also outstanding, Elvis has a lot of different voices and it depends on the song which one he uses but you know it's Elvis
Their recording of this song on their "Just Once In My Life" album produced by the legendary Phil Spector is a mind blower!
there's a live version of this by patti (labelle) and the blue bells at the apollo theater in 1965. she's amazing.
I love watching your reactions, your smile is contagious.
Goosebumps..Bill greatest baritone ever & Bobby best tenor ever..Glad you appreciate
Still Great Singers
One of my favorites.
you should check out "summertime" is another solo for bobby hatfield, i think he created a couple of new notes in this song

Thanks. Perfect.
HEAR THAT VOICE
Respect
Nice reaction! I would dig it if you did I Believe by the Righteous Brothers, or What's the Matter Baby by Bobby Hatfield.
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣
They still got it
🤔. Cool you’re reacting to classic music like this. 🤙

Voice got bass !
As perfect as Bobby Hatfield’s voice is, there is something abt the way Gerry Rafferty sings it, in the more we’ll known version.

Gerry Marsden…not Gerry Rafferty. Yes , Gerry and the pacemakers version is untouchable 😊👍
@@colinstevens2691 you’re right. Duh. Gerry Rafferty sings ‘Baker Street’, among others.
You make great comments regarding the singers stengths
☮️💙💙💙🔥so rich and smooth

You need to check out Bobby Hatfield singing I Believe and Crying in the chapel. He sounds fantastic.
Listen to What I’d Say by the Righteous Brothers on the Andy Williams Show. They were just goofing around, but it sounds great!
Epic!!!
Love the videos!
Sarah Hughes who won the 2002 Olympics in figure skating (new Yorker) skated to a cover of this song in the exhibition
You should listen to the earlier cover by Gerry & The Pacemakers. As well as the song Liverpool Football games
Ebb tide should be the next one!!
You should listen to Rightious Brothers unchained Melody featuring Bobby. Anything by the Bee Gees. And check out Josh Groban
Why do you have them filtered out. I love seeing them as much as hearing them.
Do you know Eric Clampton's Holy Mother or Tears? (Considered best guitarist)
Try: KD Lang "Crying" great!
Check out Robson Green. Great English duo.
Of people thought they were black before they saw them. They got there name when blacks saw them perform and told them were rightious!
May I suggest that you listen to the Righteous Brothers song I just wanna love you. I think you will enjoy it too.
Liverpool FC anthem !
Mr. L hope yr feeling better I know yr dealing with that lousy Covid. Rolling Stone magazine has the Everly Bros as the best Duo ever, I disagree Bobby and Bill are hands down. To me their the Dynamic Duo!
