Not long after this reunion, they reunited again and remained together until Bobby's untimely death. I got to see them live a couple of times in the mid-90s when I was living in Vegas and they had become Vegas regulars. They performed a live version of Rock & Roll Heaven that updated the song even further with more of the stars that had passed away since the first two versions had been released. It was a very moving tribute. Sadly, Bobby joined those ranks just a few years later.
Still listening in 2024......Their music, their legacy, lasts......Miss them! And so many others. Grateful for the music they shared. Grateful for the grace so many showed and shared.......
RIP all the music stars that died in the last year we will miss your greatness forever!!!!!!!!!!!! Music gets us through the good and bad times thanks for the sacrifice for every one in music!!!!!
Thank you God, I see the names of all the wonderful voices thro out my 76 yrs. So many all have brought me joy 🥲 to hear. Life would be ugly without music, we give thanks 🙏
Little Richard and others has joined that rock ‘n’ roll heaven along with the ones we lost. People like Chuck Berry, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and many others that I can’t name. May each and everyone of them rest in heavenly peace. And I can’t forget Roy Orbison who died in 1988.
I'm really impressed on how they chose to dress - jackets cut the same, same colored pants, white shirts, and so they look like they belong together without being identically dressed.
Yes absolutely, he is leading it !! We are/have been blessed to have him/his 🎶 for so many years. He absolutely nails unchained melody; ebb tide, such a range. There is no one that could range; a counter tenor. He is dearly missed.
Aretha Franklin!! Queen of Soul!!! Miss all the past 60years!!! At least we have their pictures and there voices!!! Hope we meet some day in heaven!!!!
This is such a Wonderful Video. I LOVE these guys and I MISS BOBBY, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am SO Thankful that I had the pleasure of seeing them in CONCERT SO MANY TIMES. These guys have the GREATEST Blend EVER.
So many have passed. One hell of a band. Along with my son joined he grandfather who played. Miss you my child Michael Daversa.. R.I. P.. ❤ Love Dad ..
Wow, never saw this before. I prefer the original version more, but wonderful to see Bill and Bobby together in this clip. Thank you for posting this! I really enjoyed watching it.
1974, when this was a hit, seems like only yesterday. I'd love to be a 19 yr old kid back in the Marine Corps. Great time to be a teenager and young adult.
@@Cjnw I became a Christian while I was in the Marine Corps on 18 January 1975, on Okinawa. The North Vietnamese broke the Peace Treaty of 1973 and invaded South Vietnam. Since Marines were on Okinawa we were the closest to South Vietnam, we would be used. I was scared to death. As you know the United States Marine Corps Evacuated Saigon the end of April 1975, total chaos and confusion. So that's how I become a Christian. I still Love Jesus at 65 yrs old. Semper Fidelis
Ich sehe mir oft sein Grab an.😢😢 Das Foto auf dem Grabstein ist sehr schön. Schön auch, dass man es hier sehen kann. Live könnte man es ja nicht. Sogar die Schrift darauf kann man lesen, so nahe ist der Stein zu betrachten.
Commenting cause I’m healing and still sad, and love this song! My great buddy, Mike Sommerville, lead guitarist and lyricist of the band Head East, went to rock n roll heaven from rapid onset lung cancer last year. Mike penned words and guitar parts for “ love me tonight” and “ there’s never been any reason” to name a few. Mike was such a humble, kind, gentle musician and human and truthfully, I’m still upset with God over taking him!!! I’m 53, Mike was 67 and live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. The album “ flat as a pancake” was the soundtrack of my youth and living w/ in 5 miles of your guitar God was amazing! I can only pray he’s up there showing Stevie Ray , Jimmy, Glen Campbell and Roy Clark a few licks, he was that good! Love and miss you Mike, love and miss you all.
Rock 'n' roll heaven was originally recorded by Sonny Geraci and the band Climax. Sonny and Climax also did the song Precious and Few. Sonny was the lead singer for the group the Outsiders and they did Time won't let me. When the Righteous Brothers got back together this is the first song they released.
I loved all your music I love unchained Melody that really hits the heart I love hearing both of you You're so good I wish I could hear you in person I wish I had heard you in person
They HAD to do a slowed down version because between 1974-1981 they lost way too many idols to count and it really shook Medley and Hatfield to the core. They especially took it hard when Elvis and Lennon died. Lenny Stack arranged the song with the orchestra. Feels more like an in memoriam sort of thing.
Did Bobby and Bill write the lyrics for the Elvis and John Lennon portion of the song or did the original writer do that? This a great video. Even being apart for 5 years their harmonies here were as tight as ever!! Love the Dynamic Duo!!!
Can't make it up! Wasn't even curb side! Ringing in the new. With anew national anthem, Till the ball drop's. Duet & Singing TOO ALL! Bless all family's, friend's, and Rock n roll heaven! You know... they got a hell of a band!!!!! oxox
Liam payne the 1D member just died on october 16, 2024. Now he is joinning those late singers. ‘If theres a rock n’ roll Heaven well you know that theyve gota hell of a band” R.I.P Liam Payne
This classic should be updated yet again to include David Bowie, Prince, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, George Harrison, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Tom Petty, Helen Reddy, Irene Cara, Olivia Newton-John, John Denver, Meat Loaf, Jim Seals, Andy Gibb, both Everly Brothers, and possibly Maurice and Robin Gibb, as well as Sonny Bono. And now, Tina Turner and Jerry Lee Lewis, too.
So many artists who have appeared on These Specials are no longer with us. James Brown, Teddy Pendergrass, Carl & Dennis Wilson (The Beach Boys), June Pointer, Chuck Berry, and of Course Michael Jackson, Maurice White (Earth Wind & Fire).
1:59/4:09 Elvis sang and he shook the World. And young girls SCREAMED out his NAME! We crown the King, cause we "loved" him most of all. Now we know the King Is G-o-n-e, but he feelings, still the same, cause we know he's singin' , some where, where the curtain never c-l-o-s-e! UPDATED by Alan O'Day with his words about Elvis: With Elvis in the house, again. The crowd is going "W-I-L-D" ! [6-11-11] WIFanCrystal
I've spent the last 5-7 years"trying" to pin point 'when' I 1st Discovered Hendrix.Just remembered The Performance(song)although I originally thought it aired on the AMA's in 1982.I had recently turned 11,we were living in E.Hollywood(could see the sign fr my bedrm window).
They should have recorded this version, only extended it to include (Buddy. Holly) (Big Bopper) (Ritchie. Valens) & (Eddy. Cochran) (Mama. Cass) (Brian. Jones).
Yes and so has Billy Preston, Maurice White Of Earth Wind Fire, Dennis Wilson & Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys almost became part of that Rock & Roll Heaven were it not for being helped by Dr. Eugene Landy. Can you imagine if they did it today who they would pay homage to. Lisa Left Eye Lopes, Aliyah, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Selena. They were so young when they died.
darn it !! why can't music now just have a bit spice like this harmonious and melodic piece of art and inspiration..and not that mongrel goon crappy music now!!!!!! well composed and performed

Thanks for that info, had no idea… I’m so glad they got back together 🙏🏼
20 years on the 5/11 of missing Bobby.
I WAS very fortunate to see them only minths before Bobby Passed. My ex and I loved the entire show...It was a memory.
Righteous Brothers, greatest duo of all time!
Bobby sure has bless his heart . He was one of the best singer I've ever heard,
If I had to choose just one singer to listen to for the rest of my life, it would have to be Bobby, his voice,phrasing and delivery is just beautiful.
If there’s a rock ‘n roll heaven, Bobby Hatfield is the lead singer in that band. We miss your silken voice
To listen to him sing Unchained Melody is to listen in awe. Both of these guys were terrific people too.
How about Elvis?
Прекраснейшие исполнители, так дополняют друг друга, просто тандем уникальных голосов!
Dick Clark has his American Bandstand up in heaven with many great singers.
Still listening in 2024......Their music, their legacy, lasts......Miss them! And so many others. Grateful for the music they shared. Grateful for the grace so many showed and shared.......
RIP all the music stars that died in the last year we will miss your greatness forever!!!!!!!!!!!! Music gets us through the good and bad times thanks for the sacrifice for every one in music!!!!!
My heart broke when Bobby died.
Magnanimous performance by magnanimous performers...love you Righteous Brothers❤❤❤
Love Bill too, together they were the best but so undervalued.
Thank you God, I see the names of all the wonderful voices thro out my 76 yrs. So
many all have brought me joy 🥲 to hear.
Life would be ugly without music, we give thanks 🙏
Wonderful tribute to the rock and roll immortals.
Yes, Bobby Hatfield has now joined the Band in Rock N Roll Heaven, and many others too. There must be some great Music going on up there.
Awesome music Fabulous performances
The jam sessions in heaven must be amazing to listen to
How also me to remember other singers
Little Richard and others has joined that rock ‘n’ roll heaven along with the ones we lost. People like Chuck Berry, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and many others that I can’t name. May each and everyone of them rest in heavenly peace. And I can’t forget Roy Orbison who died in 1988.

Bobby Hatfield, leading the heavenly choir.
Yes absolutely, he is leading it !! We are/have been blessed to have him/his 🎶 for so many years. He absolutely nails unchained melody; ebb tide, such a range. There is no one
that could range; a counter tenor. He is dearly missed.
Absolutely love this song that can be rewritten into many versions. Too bad Bobby won't be making that harmony
Aretha Franklin!! Queen of Soul!!! Miss all the past 60years!!! At least we have their pictures and there voices!!! Hope we meet some day in heaven!!!!
The righteous brothers are just great!
That's Righteous, Brother!
They were definitely Righteous
Bobby RIP
Don't forget the three Gibb brothers,Maurice, Robin and Andy their in rock and roll Heaven with the other immortals of rock and roll music.
Not in 1981. Dick should have gotten Climax. They did this first.
@@jamesmichalek5406 That's like saying Ed Sullivan should have played Arthur Crudup's version of 'That's All Right' instead of Elvis' version.
@@kennethcurtis1856 And why should he not have?
God!!..I've never been able to experience this performance just once!!!!
This is such a Wonderful Video. I LOVE these guys and I MISS BOBBY, EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I am SO Thankful that I had the pleasure of seeing them in CONCERT SO MANY TIMES.
These guys have the GREATEST Blend EVER.
A brilliant song with a sad story line!

By Climax?
@@jamesmichalek5406 No The Righteous Brothers. I paid $1.25/Canadian for it when it first came out. ✌🇨🇦
This song makes me feel a little sad as Bobby has joined the Rock n roll heaven.
#1 Bobby Hatfield forever in my heart ❤.
Ich sehe mir oft sein Grab an.😢😢
Das Foto auf dem Grabstein ist sehr schön.
Schön auch, dass man es hier sehen kann.
Live könnte man es ja nicht. Sogar die Schrift darauf kann man lesen, so nahe ist der Stein zu betrachten.
So So So Many have joined that band since they sang this song in 1981 here
I’m impressed by the Righteous Brother.

"Never Been Any Reason", among the genre's GREATEST reveries - LIVE version ESPECIALLY.....
@@ogam5 agreed
WHAT A GREAT SONG, IT MAKES THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK STAND UP TO HIS DAY. I LOVE THIS VERSION!
Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, George Harrison, Davy Jones and many, many more. We have their talents still with us when we turn on our radios.
Cassie Copeland Otis redding, Roy orbison, Chuck berry, Keith moon, John bonham, lemmy, Stevie Ray Vaughn! that's just a start.

That band keeps getting bigger every year
This song is a great tribute to all the great artists who died too young.
Two of the best.
I loved all your music I love unchained Melody that really hits the heart I love hearing both of you You're so good I wish I could hear you in person I wish I had heard you in person
You got that RIGHT I would like to sit in on that concert
A '92 version included Marvin Gave, Cass Elliott, Dennis Wilson, Rick Nelson, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke and Stevie Ray Vaughn,
Just a lovely inspiring performance. Not much more to say. I wish I had been there that night.
They HAD to do a slowed down version because between 1974-1981 they lost way too many idols to count and it really shook Medley and Hatfield to the core. They especially took it hard when Elvis and Lennon died. Lenny Stack arranged the song with the orchestra.
Feels more like an in memoriam sort of thing.
Bill Medley was a close friend of Elvis.
I am singing this RIGHT NOW!!
You just can't say enough about this song.
I believe there's going to be a Rock 'n Roll and I certainly believe in forever..!! :))
Thank you.
RIP Don Everley you're up there now with the very best.
Awesome!
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one night stand
And if there's a rock and roll heaven
You know they got one hell of a band
:)
Did Bobby and Bill write the lyrics for the Elvis and John Lennon portion of the song or did the original writer do that? This a great video. Even being apart for 5 years their harmonies here were as tight as ever!! Love the Dynamic Duo!!!
A great song!
Love this this ❤
Elvis was gorgeous in the first picture, but he was gorgeous, period! Beautiful song!
Rock n roll is really good because I imagine that it is a genre and it is loved.
Can't make it up! Wasn't even curb side! Ringing in the new. With anew national anthem, Till the ball drop's. Duet & Singing TOO ALL! Bless all family's, friend's, and Rock n roll heaven! You know... they got a hell of a band!!!!! oxox
Superb Thank You
Top shelf stuff. 😅
Now that's 50 years late there would be a lot more verses to cover everyone who's gone on since this was taped.
Miss them so much 😢♥️

Chuck Berry is now part of rock n roll heaven
Ryan Digricoli So do you reckon that Bowie and Kurt Cobain are doing a duet of The Man Who Sold the World in Rock n Roll Heaven right now?
Let's not forget BB King

Rock and Roll Heaven can only be had in Jesus.
Music is an art form. It is not cooking by a recipe.
Don Everley and Charlie Watts has now joined that great gig in the sky.
I've spent the last 5-7 years"trying" to pin point 'when' I 1st Discovered Hendrix.Just remembered The Performance(song)although I originally thought it aired on the AMA's in 1982.I had recently turned 11,we were living in E.Hollywood(could see the sign fr my bedrm window).
Well Done Bravo!
Great song
And, tragically, one of the Righteous Brothers, Bobby Hatfield, has also gone there.
素敵なブラザース❤
RIP Bobby Hatfield.
Elvis a the top! Bill Medley loved him…listen to his tribute song to Elvis!
THE BEEEEESSSTTTTTTT
What about Bobby Darin of Mack The Knife famous song?
Someone else now want's too sing now. 1 more time.
Sadly- the band is enormous! They have to be somewhere, on another plane.
They should have recorded this version, only extended it to include (Buddy. Holly)
(Big Bopper) (Ritchie. Valens) & (Eddy. Cochran) (Mama. Cass)
(Brian. Jones).
Now Tom Petty has join Rock and Roll Heaven
Just heard about Aretha Franklin's passing today 8/16/2018 . RIP Queen of soul .

Chuck Berry...... RIP
Can Hell's Bells be heard in Rock N Roll Heaven?
Muito obrigada.
Rock on
The studio version is the best . This version seems like it's in slow motion .
Bobby Hatfield, could now be in this song,_ but who'll sing it?
Absolutely impossible for anyone to copy that soaring falsetto.
jo fa
No one. There can never be another with that voice. He is the lead singer in that heavenly rock and roll band, I can guarantee you that!
@@TrueAveril true counter tenor head voice, not really falsetto.
@@rubydazzler Thank you.
Face it. Our elder rock idols are dropping like flies. Very sad.
Cannot forget Chris Cornell!
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
darn it !! why can't music now just have a bit spice like this harmonious and melodic piece of art and inspiration..and not that mongrel goon crappy music now!!!!!! well composed and performed
I wish to learn the lyrics to this version. I learn by reading because I can not hear the words. Just the tune!
