This song was the most played song on the radio in the 20th Century. Between Bill and Bobby they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. The Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time.
I would say the Everlys who were of course actual real brothers unlike the Righteous Brothers who at this time were made up of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were just a little better as Don and Phil were incredible and prolific too!
The Righteous Brothers were called blue-eyed soul back in the day. Bobby Hatfield (tenor on the left) and Bill Medley (baritone on the right) weren't really brothers. They got their name when Black Marines from El Toro Marine base at the club where they were performing said things like "That's righteous, brothers" about their performance. This song was the most played on radio and tv in the 20th century. For more of Bobby's amazing vocals check out Unchained Melody live best quality (1965).
They are not actually brothers. According to Medley, they then adopted the name The Righteous Brothers for the duo because black Marines from the El Toro Marine base started calling them "righteous brothers". At the end of a performance, a black U.S. Marine in the audience would shout, "That was righteous, brothers!", and would greet them with "Hey righteous brothers, how you doin'?" on meeting them.
I'm biracial, raised by my beautiful black momma. If I've learned one thing from watching these reaction channels, it would have to be that my momma listened to more caucasian artists/singers/bands than I thought. At one time in my life I thought she didn't listen to any caucasian artists. I'm questioning my whole childhood! Lol
Proof that Soul has no color. This was called "Blue Eyed Soul". Now you need to hear "My soul and my inspiration". It will knock you on your butt. The Righteous Brothers are my favorite singers and I still have them on records. This was a live performance.
I watched a video of women reactors responding to this. When the line “I’ll get down on my knees for you.” comes you can see their hearts melt. A lot of them start fanning themselves. It’s easy to see from their reactions why this song was so popular. It melted women’s hearts. It’s the romance that even women today respond to.
Learn from it, boys. It worked on us, back in the day. Get down on your knees, bury your face in her belly. Weep and beg her not to leave you. I married that guy.
The Righteous Brothers have a legendary harmony and voices. Their songs have been covered many many times since then and through today. Unchained Melody is another masterpiece.
They are no better nor worse than many of today’s singers. Unfortunately, for many people (of a certain age) the way-back filter makes everything in the rear view mirror look bigger than it actually is. It’s sad, because while they keep spinning their old 45s on the Victrola, they are missing out on some great music.
@@tomhoopes3133 Oh, please. Get over it dude. Just because someone is over 40, 50, 60, 70 - we can still hear, think, feel, and yes, enjoy various genres of GOOD music. And guess what - I don't have nor have I ever had a Victrola even at 77. Never even saw one except in photos. If you, personally, don't wish to hear the music of previous generations, feel free to tune out. But you don't have to go giving your "expert" opinion unless maybe you have more experience on the old Victrola than you would like to admit. The spread of time represented by reaction vids is very broad, yet does not rule out the enjoyment of today's music/singers also, by anyone who wishes to access it as well.
@@solitarybee3714 , Tom's correct. Many older people are unwilling to admit that singers today are any good. I read this every single time I watch a video of these guys, or other artists from the past. People always spout off about how much better artists were back "then" , and how today's artists are crap. Every single time. It's old, much like the mind set of many older people on these threads.
@@louisejohnson6767 Not totally correct. I like a lot of today's music as well. Some of them sing live just like the studio recordings. All it takes is talent. A lot of today's singers have that talent also. A lot don't, just like back then. I can appreciate all kinds of music, except for rap music. Just can't handle that, sorry. And yes, I'll be 66 this year and my grand kids show me a lot of music that I like too.
Boy oh boy, talk about memories! Thank-you for playing it & whoever requested, child you woke the devil in me!! I had my hot pants on, my over the knee boots on & was making noise to this song. Those are memories that you will never lose. I'm heading toward 70 & remember it like yesterday Much 💙 young man Akita, a old 🇺🇸👵
You might have to explain hot pants to younger generations! 😂 for some reason that Nair commercial just popped into my head when I read your comment, 🎶 Who wears short, shorts? We wear short, shorts🎶🎵
@@G-grandma_Army lol, well they were the 1st daisy dukes BUT didn't look like they were your jean's cut up to make them. And bc they looked great & hot with the hooker boot, hence "Hot pants " Yes, that commercial had the effect it wanted to reach, teens & young women Love💙✌ Akita, 🇺🇸 👵
NOT BROTHERS !!! THEY ARE HOWEVER THE BEST HARMONIZED VOCALIST EVER !!! THIS WAS DONE WITH ONLY GOD GIVEN TALENT !!! NO ENHANCEMENT OR TECHNOLOGY USED TO PRODUCE THEIR ABSOLUTELY PURE RAW VOCAL ABILITIES !!! WITH SUCH POWERFUL MESSAGES !!! THEY ARE THE VERY BEST OF BLUE EYED SOUL !!! THANKS FOR COVERING THEM SWEETHEART !!!
I was born in 1973 but this song and a lot of the 50s and 60s including Motown I know (die to no choice of my own) but the artists they are amazing. And I agree their voices had to be gifts because technology is nothing compared to today. Thanks to my parents I'm lucky enough to know a lot of these and today I appreciate all these talents. Go back into these eras they are amazing.
Way before auto tune just plain ole God Given Talent here .... welcome to the world of Blue Eyed Soul it’s a fantastic Rabbit Hole to go down ....KEEP ROCKIN.... you need to play this for your beautiful lady .... enjoy when she is here with you
Ahhhhhhhh.. the Righteous Brothers... this is the kind of music I grew up listening to, and I still Love all the old late 50s to late 60s music. Those folks had no Choice but to be Truly Talented - there was no autotune, there was no "be pretty enough for the camera whether you have actual Talent"....... there was only THIS - Raw Talent and incredible voices
@@fredv6237 I'm not a Boomer - I'm an Xer. I'm also a trained Musician, an Operatic Coloratura Soprano. I spent my childhood, teens, 20s, and 30s working in a part of the industry where........ quite frankly..... if you couldn't be heard clearly in the back balcony without a Mic, you were relegated to obscurity, forget things like Autotune to make a mediocre singer sound like they've got an adequate range.
@@OkieRhio A boomer nowadays is anyone who always boasts about the good ol' days. Couldn't care less about whatever your occupation is, that is still an ignorant take. Studio tricks and selling out have been a thing since the 60s.
That dude with the smooth beautiful voice is the late great Bobby Hatfield, he was an amazing talent. His voice blended beautifully with Bill Medley's baritone. This was in the days before autotune and studio tricks. They were really that great, this was exactly what they sounded like in concert. 50+ years later they are still one of my favorites.
When music comes from the heart and soul, what else do you need? Brother, when you hear these old tunes, remember...they came from the soul, the heart...it was real. Peace.
The greatest duo of all time. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medly. Both great singers and both also had solo careers. Bobby’s solo is Unchained Melody is one of the greatest ever and if you saw the movie Ghost you would know it. Covered by of 670 artists but no one not even Elvis can match it. Make sure it’s the live performance for 1965. Simply amazing. Also try Soul and Inspiration and Rock and Roll Heaven which is their tribute song to stars that of passed away and sadly we lost Bobby Hatfield in 2003. He’s definitely in rock and roll heaven. Thx

Listen to Unchained Melody. Bobby Hatfield's voice will go straight to your heart and give it a tug. (If it doesn't, you don't have a pulse.) Nearly brings me to tears every team.
Bill Medley is still performing in his 80's, unfortunately we lost Bobby in 2003, they were the best!!!! They showed that music 🎶 can have blue eyed soul!!!!!
It's not bring back that love or he's gone, he's saying, "You've lost that lovin' feelin' Whoa, that lovin' feelin' You've lost that lovin' feelin' Now its gone, gone, gone, whoa" He's hurt that the love she had for him is gone. It's not known if it's a true heartbreak or someone wrote the song for them which was normal from the 50's to the early 70's.
The Righteous Brothers came out in the 60's. Bobby Hatfield )August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) on the left, Bill Medley (born September 1940) is on the right in this video. This song you're reacting to was released in 1965. Their most famous song is Unchained Melody released in 1965.
You think so? When was the last time you watched it? I watched Top Gun again last week. First time watching as as an “adult” (I’m 47 now) and I thought that scene was cheesy as hell. I thought It was smooth back in the day when I was 20 and first joined the Marine Corps. But now it’s cringeworthy.
Pure talent, emotion and a band. Never sell these artists of old short. They just busted it out. It wasn’t by the seat of their pants its was depth of straight up talent.
They both had great voices, very soulful. They were the original blue-eyed soul. Soul and Inspiration was great too. You read your comments too quickly. Give people a chance to get here & listen.
The Righteous Brothers always put the biggest smile on my face. The music they created together is spine tingling. Fortunately we still have Bill Medley (the bass voice). Bobby Hatfield (the tenor) died in 2003, sadly. Heart attack.
Can't get any more classic than this. When you said, "This came out in 1964 - yeah, this is old!" I laughed because I was born in '64. lol Hey, 1964 is when the Beatles came to America for the first time too. : )
I just heard the Elvis version for the first time, and never care to hear it again. There is no comparison!!! Righteous Brothers ' version simply cannot be equaled!!! I know a lot of Elvis fans will disagree, just because he is Elvis!!!
They were huge this was number one for like I don't know 26 weeks they knocked the Beatles out of first place the most-played song on radio on the 20th century you got to try Soul Inspiration and Unchained Melody incredible blue-eyed soul no Auto-Tune like Steve Perry just plain genius do the other two with your wife peace out
Great duo. Met at Cal State Long Beach in Long Beach, CA. They are not brothers but were best friends. My 2 favorite songs by them is Soul and Inspiration and Little Latin Lupe Lu (about a girl they knew at college that could dance any dance) There were a lot of different dances in the 60's. One of the two Bill Medley, started a 50's / 60's club in Lakewood, CA called The Hop. It was so fun until the owner died and sold it. Now it's dive you don't want to even enter. Going to a hop was going to a high school dance or teen club in the 50's and 60's.
A newer song featuring Bill Medley, the tall guy, is from the movie Dirty Dancing, I've Had The Time Of My Life. Check it out. His voice is still so awesome. Love your channel ✌
I like that song from the movie. But the live version with Bill and Jennifer Warnes? Wow. They had a lot of fun singing that song, and it showed. For contrast, watch the live version of Up Where We Belong from An Officer and a Gentleman with Jennifer and Joe Cocker. Totally different vibe.
@@reneebush2399 I'm a lot younger, and I feel pent up too. Luckily, Covid restrictions are being lifted where I live in Canada. More opportunities to get out, yay.
Before MTV (mid 1970s); songs were made for radio and had to be under 3 minutes. The focus was on the singing, not the choreography and visual effects. You will find many great vocalists from the era. Enjoy
Not actually brothers lol just the name of the duo. Sometimes you look at a person and you kinda of guess what they sound like singin' like in this video, and it makes you go hmmm. Another great voice that's like that belongs to *Mr. Steve Perry* of *Journey* with such songs like *Mother Father, Faithfully, Wheel In The Sky, Separate Ways, Send Her My Love and Open Arms.* You'll soon understand why many circles in the music world call him *The Voice* and yes he's blessed not to use auto tune. Love Peace and Happiness Y'all !!!
Absolutely right. Back then it was just you and a mike. You had to have extraordinary talent to be successful. Music had a message, and each artist had a specific character and recognizable style. I'm so glad a new generation now has the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this period, cuz music today just straight up sucks.
You'll next want to react to The Righteous Brothers' LIVE 1965 UNCHAINED MELODY which is considered by many to be the greatest live performance by a solo singer in music history as Bobby (the singer with the high voice) puts on an unbelievable performance when he sang live on the 1965 Andy Williams TV show. His performance has a crazy 61 million views on You Tube!
Tall one is Bill Medley. He sang the baritone voice. He is still alive and still singing. Shorter one is Bobby Hatfield. He sang in a high voice, like a tenor. He died almost 20 years ago.
They’re NOT actual brothers .. they’re a DUO ..it’s just a name, like Doobie Brothers ...To find out how they got their name, watch this full performance in the Andy Williams Show ... ua-cam.com/video/FZZqf3AVJbE/v-deo.html ... enjoy! this is a solo song so they flipped a coin to see who would sing it .. this is Bobby Hatfield, and the other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for this performance .. and he did so well with that, building up the music to the passionate end, so credit to Bill Medley too .. I also read that Bill Medley played the piano in the background for this song, and that Bobby sang this song while suffering from a head cold! This performance was done live, (with no auto-tune or other devices used by today’s musicians) and was better than the recorded studio version. Bobby suffered from stage fright and was particularly nervous in this performance because his parents were in the audience... you can see him bite his lip then grin at the end because he knew he nailed it!
It is an all time classic and was the most requested song on radio in the 20th century. If you haven't heard it yet, try the live version of "Unchained Melody". An interesting fact is that one of the backing singers is a young lady called Cher.
There is no such thing as a "better voice" when it comes to these two. They both have amazing voices in their own right
This song was the most played song on the radio in the 20th Century. Between Bill and Bobby they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. The Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time.
The way they seamlessly go from dueling lyrics to perfect harmony is amazing. Like no other
I would say the Everlys who were of course actual real brothers unlike the Righteous Brothers who at this time were made up of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were just a little better as Don and Phil were incredible and prolific too!
Welcome to the world of blue eyed soul.
This is just the beginning! All can sing.
Blue Eyed Soul, my friend. These guys could SING....no autotune, no second take....no tricks, just talent. Try Unchained Melody.
YES! Unchained melody is a winner for sure
YES... Unchained Melody!!!
fully agree. Rob will be out of his mind
Soul and Heart's inspiration, no one can beg like Bill ... that deep bass ... 😉
Yes, the live version.

@Matthew Snider Wow! Lake Forest has expanded since I lived in El Toro.
Yea they were in separate bands,a black american soldier yelled out rightious brothers,and they stuck with it.
Not even Barry could sing like Bobby. No one could come close to him. Listen to Summertime; incredible
Absolutely incredible¹
@@rachelsullivan2926 Bobby was quite simply great. Bee Gees had harmony.

I was little when this came out, but its timeless and loved...Beautiful song...Thanks J. Peace
Perfect combination. Beautiful voices from each. Makes me remember my young teenage years. They complement each other flawlessly.
It's not bring back that love or he's gone, he's saying, "You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin'
Now its gone, gone, gone, whoa"
He's hurt that the love she had for him is gone. It's not known if it's a true heartbreak or someone wrote the song for them which was normal from the 50's to the early 70's.
Thnx, you saved me a lot of typing! 😉
@@jhrapsky2255 you're welcome :-)
The song was written for them.
This song was written by the legendary husband and wife songwriters Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. They wrote MANY hits.
@@larrywt656 yes I couldn't remember their names.
Such a perfect song, two perfectly matched singers. Always gives me chills.
"The Wall of Sound". No autotune... pure talent.
Unchanged melody and soul and inspiration were their hits too
The Righteous Brothers came out in the 60's. Bobby Hatfield )August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) on the left, Bill Medley (born September 1940) is on the right in this video. This song you're reacting to was released in 1965. Their most famous song is Unchained Melody released in 1965.
The greatest songs of the 60
Best scene to this song is in Top Gun! IMHO
yes!
You think so? When was the last time you watched it? I watched Top Gun again last week. First time watching as as an “adult” (I’m 47 now) and I thought that scene was cheesy as hell. I thought It was smooth back in the day when I was 20 and first joined the Marine Corps. But now it’s cringeworthy.
@@youmadbro7733 LOL! Much of what was done in our 20s was cringe as heck.
@@LunarisArts That’s fair. I used to wear spandex shorts and crop top T-shirts. But then again my Z-Cavaricci pants were dope!
❤️🙌
Watch the very, very old. I graduated from High School that year. I'm 78 and still digging all the wonderful music from my era.
Pure talent, emotion and a band. Never sell these artists of old short. They just busted it out. It wasn’t by the seat of their pants its was depth of straight up talent.
Rock and Roll Heaven , He, and Soul and Inspiration all by the Righteous Brothers
They both had great voices, very soulful. They were the original blue-eyed soul. Soul and Inspiration was great too. You read your comments too quickly. Give people a chance to get here & listen.
as you move forward you will see how diluted the talent pool is today , great reaction
You are correct, in those days you had to have true talent to succeed in the business unlike today where you get a participant ribbon.
Artists are too manufactured now bit the talent is still out there
Love this song, classic! Unchained Melody NEXT, A MUST, suggesting you include Amber on it too! 😉🤗
The Righteous Brothers always put the biggest smile on my face. The music they created together is spine tingling. Fortunately we still have Bill Medley (the bass voice). Bobby Hatfield (the tenor) died in 2003, sadly. Heart attack.
Can't get any more classic than this. When you said, "This came out in 1964 - yeah, this is old!" I laughed because I was born in '64. lol Hey, 1964 is when the Beatles came to America for the first time too. : )
The Righteous Brother were also the opening act for the Beatles on the us tour.
I absolutely love this fantastic song. Love the Righteous Brothers.
Both Bee Gees and Righteous Brothers first charted in 1963. RB continued into the mid-70s. BeeGees recorded until 2001.
Until last year, when Barry put out a duets album.
I just heard the Elvis version for the first time, and never care to hear it again. There is no comparison!!! Righteous Brothers ' version simply cannot be equaled!!! I know a lot of Elvis fans will disagree, just because he is Elvis!!!
Bill Medley's voice is amazing
They were huge this was number one for like I don't know 26 weeks they knocked the Beatles out of first place the most-played song on radio on the 20th century you got to try Soul Inspiration and Unchained Melody incredible blue-eyed soul no Auto-Tune like Steve Perry just plain genius do the other two with your wife peace out
Great duo. Met at Cal State Long Beach in Long Beach, CA. They are not brothers but were best friends. My 2 favorite songs by them is Soul and Inspiration and Little Latin Lupe Lu (about a girl they knew at college that could dance any dance) There were a lot of different dances in the 60's. One of the two Bill Medley, started a 50's / 60's club in Lakewood, CA called The Hop. It was so fun until the owner died and sold it. Now it's dive you don't want to even enter. Going to a hop was going to a high school dance or teen club in the 50's and 60's.
Blue eyed soul at its best
A newer song featuring Bill Medley, the tall guy, is from the movie Dirty Dancing, I've Had The Time Of My Life. Check it out. His voice is still so awesome. Love your channel ✌
I like that song from the movie. But the live version with Bill and Jennifer Warnes? Wow. They had a lot of fun singing that song, and it showed. For contrast, watch the live version of Up Where We Belong from An Officer and a Gentleman with Jennifer and Joe Cocker. Totally different vibe.
I know we’ve heard that he has been feeling pent up from the pandemic, so I’m sure he’ll be back on the road ASAP. Even at his age now.
@@reneebush2399 I'm a lot younger, and I feel pent up too. Luckily, Covid restrictions are being lifted where I live in Canada. More opportunities to get out, yay.
@@mayloo2137 yay!
Before MTV (mid 1970s); songs were made for radio and had to be under 3 minutes. The focus was on the singing, not the choreography and visual effects. You will find many great vocalists from the era. Enjoy
MTV started its first video August 1, 1981, its predecessor was Sight on Sound starting in late 1977.
@@muzikman4399 the first ever video I watched on MTV was Careless Whisper by Wham! Still love listening to it.
I enjoy this song every time someone reacts to it which is everyone LOL so i enjoy it a lot.
A very young Cher, still an unknown, was one of the backup singers, if you listen carefully to the track you can pick up her unique voice.
You should redo this song, now that you have Amber in the show. She would love this!
Thanks for this reaction
Not actually brothers lol just the name of the duo. Sometimes you look at a person and you kinda of guess what they sound like singin' like in this video, and it makes you go hmmm. Another great voice that's like that belongs to *Mr. Steve Perry* of *Journey* with such songs like *Mother Father, Faithfully, Wheel In The Sky, Separate Ways, Send Her My Love and Open Arms.* You'll soon understand why many circles in the music world call him *The Voice* and yes he's blessed not to use auto tune. Love Peace and Happiness Y'all !!!
Dive into their catalog. Blue eyed soul and harmony.
Absolutely right. Back then it was just you and a mike. You had to have extraordinary talent to be successful. Music had a message, and each artist had a specific character and recognizable style.
I'm so glad a new generation now has the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this period, cuz music today just straight up sucks.
Great re-make of this song from Hall and Oates!
You'll next want to react to The Righteous Brothers' LIVE 1965 UNCHAINED MELODY which is considered by many to be the greatest live performance by a solo singer in music history as Bobby (the singer with the high voice) puts on an unbelievable performance when he sang live on the 1965 Andy Williams TV show. His performance has a crazy 61 million views on You Tube!
He gets my vote....this performance "LIVE" no less...is insane!!!
It's called Blue Eyed Soul.
Everyone thought they were Black. So much Soul and passion.
Unchained melody
The year doesn’t matter that much. If it’s good, it’s good...PERIOD.
I hoped you played this for Amber!
Soul. What is the color of it? The voice of natural singing.
If you want to hear the guy with the high voice, Bobby Hatfield, sing solo check out Unchained Melody.
Yes, I agree. Fabulous.
Their voices complimented each other so well
They are one of the few groups to make the top of the charts at that time who weren't a part of the British Invasion
Tall one is Bill Medley. He sang the baritone voice. He is still alive and still singing. Shorter one is Bobby Hatfield. He sang in a high voice, like a tenor. He died almost 20 years ago.
They’re NOT actual brothers .. they’re a DUO ..it’s just a name, like Doobie Brothers ...To find out how they got their name, watch this full performance in the Andy Williams Show ... ua-cam.com/video/FZZqf3AVJbE/v-deo.html ... enjoy! this is a solo song so they flipped a coin to see who would sing it .. this is Bobby Hatfield, and the other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for this performance .. and he did so well with that, building up the music to the passionate end, so credit to Bill Medley too .. I also read that Bill Medley played the piano in the background for this song, and that Bobby sang this song while suffering from a head cold! This performance was done live, (with no auto-tune or other devices used by today’s musicians) and was better than the recorded studio version. Bobby suffered from stage fright and was particularly nervous in this performance because his parents were in the audience... you can see him bite his lip then grin at the end because he knew he nailed it!
These 2 are some of the Greatest voices ever. NEXT Unchanged Melody.
It is an all time classic and was the most requested song on radio in the 20th century. If you haven't heard it yet, try the live version of "Unchained Melody". An interesting fact is that one of the backing singers is a young lady called Cher.
This is one of the all time hits.
Mentioning "old school tracks", consider "The Seekers" with "I'll Never Find Another You".
One of the best songs ever!!! My mum loved them.
