    There's a live version of this from 1964 in which the guys are wearing tuxedos . . . and Bobby REALLY wails on the high part during that call and response portion near the end. The version you watched is really good. The other version is one for the ages. Simply incredible.

    This is one of the top 20 love songs of all time, BrittReacts. Rarely do tenor and baritone vocals mesh this perfectly. Finally this is one of the finest examples of "Blue Eyed Soul" and backed by music producer, Phil Spector's trade mark Wall of Sound.

    Lots of people have noticed that similarity Britt. It is a very common bass progression. Also, there is another video of this song with a large number of back-up singers. One of them is a young lady trying to make a name for herself in music and starting as a back-up singer in studio and on stage. Her name is Cherilyn Sarkasian. You would know her better today as Cher!! Everybody started somewhere huh?!

    Hatfield and Medley had contrasting vocal ranges, which helped them create a distinctive sound as a duet.
    They each had the vocal talent to perform as soloists.
    Medley sang the low parts with his bass-baritone voice, with Hatfield taking the higher-register vocals with his tenor. Hatfield reached the register of a countertenor.

One night EP came to his show and on his way out calmly walked across the stage, slapped him on the shoulder and off he and his group went. Audience went wild. Apparently Bill’s shows were sold out from there on, people thinking Elvis would appear again!😂 Bill said he was not complaining at all!

    Ah, I knew you'd love this one! This song was featured in Top Gun (the original), where Tom Cruise sings it to pick up Kelly McGillis' character. And yes, that basic doo-wop beat was very popular in music at the time, and Grease definitely used it for Summer Lovin' (the song you were thinking of, I'm guessing).

    According to BMI music publishing, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" was played on American radio and television more times than any other song in the 20th century. It got over 8 million plays from the time it was released until 2000. Note that this includes all versions of the song, not just The Righteous Brothers'.

    Bill Medley, the baritone (lower voice) is still with us and will turn 83 in the fall. Sadly, Bobby Hatfield, the tenor, passed about 20 years ago. I saw them live a couple of times in the 1980s. They were magnificent, and a lot of singers and bands from the 1950s and 60s were doing "Oldies" tours in the '80s. Often several would appear on a single bill just as they did back in those earlier decades. The Brothers always sounded Righteous!

    The quintessential Righteous Brothers song. I think the word you're looking for is "restrained". It feels like he's holding back, and then when he belts out that first "Baby", it goes to a whole different energy. That common chord progression reminds me of a great video about how all pop songs use the same 4 chords. Three Aussie guys roll through like 50 songs, and it's amazing how they all use the same chords.

    The song "Summer Lovin" from Grease dominate the airwaves when Olivia Newton John & John Travolta sang it. There is a strong resemblance between the two. Though I suspect that this song inspired the once from Grease. No one had ever heard of them when the Righteous Brothers cut this one long before. Great reaction Britt!

    Bill has a baritone voice and Bobby is a counter-tenor with an outrageous 5 octave range. He could freely hit the high C's with
    ease.
    You must check out Bobby's excellent, often copied but never ever duplicated, solo rendition of "Unchained Melody". Here's where Bobby shows you his range....it's not falsetto.
    ( react to the live video from The Andy Williams Show (1965. best quality). You must watch from the beginning where Andy Williams ( one of the best ballad singers of all times) introduces the Righteous Bros. and then interacts with them before Bobby sings and then watch the 3 of them sing together after Bobby's solo.
    These guys are young here, in their early 20's. Bobby had a cold and wasn't feeling his best. He was nervous because The Andy Williams Show ( a 1 hour variety show that came on once a week for several years) had a huge tv audience of well over 1 million per each show. And Bobbg's mother was in the audience....her first time seeing him perform live. ( She is the lady to the left in the blue dress)
    Unchanged Melody is the most coveted song ever with over 670 covers. It was a big hit in 1965 and then it got a second life when used in the movie Ghost, (the pottery scene and towards the end of the movie). It hit the top of the charts again and ensured that this is the quintessential love song.
    It was a song from a little known prison movie called "Unchained" from the1950's.and was recorded by a couple of people before Bobby. Al Hibblers version had been the most popular until Bobby Hatfield knocked it out of the park!
    Do yourself a favor after you watch the video from the Andy Williams show, and go back and listen to the record version. This is the version in the movie Ghost and it's fabulous. Bobby wanted to play around with it and show more of his vocal range on the Andy Williams show..
    Check out Bobby's solo of "Summertime" ( video)
    Bill's (almost solo) "I Just Want to Make Love to You."
    Bill also had a big hit song duet with Jennifer Warnes, "I Had The Time of My Life" from the movie Dirty Dancing...it's The song from the final dance scene with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
    Righteous Bros.: "You'll Never Walk Alone"
    "Soul and Inspiration"
    "Rock and Roll Heaven"
    Check out Andy Williams:
    "Love is a Many Splendor Thing"
    "Moon River"
    "Love Story"

    A lot of these older songs were used in movies. Remember they were before those movies.

    This was 15 or so years before Grease so it's a case of that sounding like this rather than the other way round.

    Remember this song was made way before Grease the movie trying to get that same song vibe. They were my favorite singers when I was a teen back then. Very soulful, we loved it.

    Good catch recognizing that beat in another - later - song featured in the movie, "Grease."
    You would likely appreciate Allen Sherman (a musical comedian popular in the 1960's). He connected the old, comical tune "How Dry I Am" to many classical & popular contemporary tunes when he visited the Boston Pops Orchestra with Arthur Fiedler (sp?). He also took the classic "Triumphal March of Aida" & had it played in Dixieland Style (brilliant). BTW: he's most famous for "Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda" (aka: "Camp Grenada"): a very funny song.
    🤣👍

    Re: The Righteous Brothers
    The group consisted of 2 men (not brothers - they first met at CSULB). The particular song that you referred to - "Unchained Melody" - works best as a solo & Bobby Hatfield probably sounded better between the two on this one, so he not only sang it solo, he 'owned' it.*
    🎵😎👍
    * = Not seen in this footage is a conversation about the other guy, Bill Medley (?) stepping aside for Bobby to sing this one solo on this TV show (" The Andy Williams Show" ???).

    Since the original stage show "Grease" came out in 1973 and the movie version 1978, I think this song from 1964 has priority and Summer Lovin' sounds like this song, not the other way around.

    Back in the day, the guys on the mix board killed the cylibants because many old mics kinda muffed it up. Those mics were good enough to sound good without cutting the highs so deep but it was common.. Bill's voice was clear as a bell.

    This song was recorded in the 60s and the movie "Grease" came out decades later. So if anyone is copying a style , tune or sound, It's Grease.

    A high school steady asked why I kissed her with my eyes open. It was an easy answer, I told her she was the prettiest girl I was ever going to kiss and that I couldn't take my eyes off of her pretty face, even when I kissed her. Your so naughty Britt. Listen to The Righteous Brothers singing the Carol King written song JUST ONCE IN MY LIFE, Bill Medley sounds spectacular on it.

    Bill Medley is a baritone/bass and
    Bobby Hatfield is a tenor/counter tenor. Both of them are dreamy.
