Thanks! Love your reaction. This became the anthem for our soldiers in Vietnam to their wives and girlfriends to be there when …if…they came home. Blessed to grow up with this beautiful music.
awwwwnnn i really appreciate. much love ❤️
This was performed live in 1965. It was played in the movie Ghost in 1990. The song was written in 1955 for a movie named Unchained. Bobby was amazing and will always be known for this song.
You had to have talent to sing back then ..no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmicks, just pure God given talent .. Amazing Bobby Hatfield ...countertenor known as blue eyed soul.
מדהים מאוד מרגש❤❤❤❤👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶
Bobby Hatfield, was quite nervous at the beginning because his mum was in the audience! The first time his mum saw him singing live in a studio audience! HOW ADORABLE is that! ❤🥰☺️
Simply the best performance you will ever see.
The incomparable Counter Tenor voice of the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Done (Live) 58 years ago in (1965) on the Andy Williams NBC Television Show. On this night in 1965 ten years after the original was done in (1955) by Opera Singer and Broadway and Musical Theatre actor and singer Todd Ducan for the movie "Unchained."
Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra and their arrangement of "Unchained Melody." Performed the greatest version of Unchained Melody better than any singer or Orchestra ever. Their performances have made this live performance the greatest live performance in television history. The rest is left for posterity to witness and be in awe of what great music and singing sounded like. Awesome Reaction...
Your respectful silence during his performance and subsequent analysis were refreshing. Enjoyed your show immensely. Thanks from Montana.
All the African (Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe) reactors need to broaden their musical horizons, there's so much 60's 70's 80's 90's American and British pop, rock and r&b to discover
Word has it his mother was in the audience...
MAGNIFICENT!!! Stop the hate. In this world!!!!❤❤❤
Ladies and Gentleman Bobby Hatfield.
One of the most Beautiful songs Ever Sung and Bobby did it Justice
This song was written in the 1950’s for the film “Unchained”. And Bill Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers sang it in 1965. Not the 1990’s as you say !
Bobby Hatfield live performance .
The Andy Williams Show-
Episode #4.5
Episode aired Oct 25, 1965:
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor voice to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song.
*In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63.
The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side.
* The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
* This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.
I've always loved Bobby Hatfield singing this. I've listened to this many times. I was just thinking that I would love to hear Adam Lambert cover this song. I think he's the one singer today who could really do it justice. Watch his Feel Something live sessions video. I think you might think I'm right. They had this song in the movie Ghost and it is a true love song.
❤❤❤❤❤
First time watching you guy's. Really enjoyed this a lot
I love this! You all are wonderful! Thank you!
Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain live at Monterrey Pop " will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED.
Great reaction to a moving song.
Thanks, guys.
The girl looked totally unimpressed.
It's heartbreaking to hear about his wife... she was ...and murdered at 32 years old. 💔
It was Bill's ex wife that was murdered
👍👍👍🇷🇸
