Best duet in history hands down!!!!
The best by far
That's because they're from Anaheim and Santa Ana.
Unchained Melody is the most romantic song ever and their cover of it is the best ever .Bobby Hartfield's live rendition of that song in 1965 in the Andy Williams Show remains to me the best live tv performance of a song. MAGICAL.
Agree. Bobby's performance of Unchained Melody on the Andy Williams show was legendary
Yea bobby is possibly one of the greatest singers of all time in my opinion
I agree !
@@isrberlinerin4063 yeah he has a special voice unlike any other before or since
Wow! He certainly was so handsome, a beautiful voice, effortless & filled with pure emotion… he’s my favorite ❤️
There was never anyone like Bobby and Bill. The best ever lived. Still miss Bobby so much, but we still have his amazing music!!
Those were the days when music made your heart throb!! Plus you could understand what was being sung with no bad language and violence!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Being Human false. Turn off the radio and look on here
Exactly ❤️ Music for your heart and soul !!
You got that right love them they also had that soulful voice to.
Happy 80th Birthday in Heaven Bobby.We all miss you.
Bobby describing Unchained Melody as, "Kind of a semi-classic". The ultimate understatement.
When I hear that song, his face pops in my head. Even after the movie Ghost as made, that song - in my world - still belonged to Bobby Hatfield and Bobby Hatfield only.
D the B. I know that song and video are amazing. My favorite number one love song of all time.
Bobby's performance of "Unchained Melody" is one of the iconic/classic performances in music history
He isn't even referring to the Righteous Brothers' recording, just to the history of the song. I get the impression he doesn't especially like his record, which is weird.
@@linedanzer4302 I call it "Bobby's Song."
God gave the most beautiful voice and Bobby Hatfield
Bobby has so much class.He truly was an amazing singer ❤.
Bobby Hatfield was so handsome , cute 💚
Incredible. Bobby left so much on the table. Gone too soon
Yes, incredibly sad.
Bobby Hatfield is such a humble man. That’s part of his attraction. He doesn’t brag like others
Bobby gave Unchained Melody its wings to fly with his voice! He owns it!
Both hugely talented and Bobby was drop dead gorgeous. ❤️
But his nostrals looked funny.
@@spiderreed350 🙄
@@spiderreed350 Not you hatin from a whole different generation tho. That man was fine
They both was
@@spiderreed350 did you really have to say that?
I’m proud to be one of the lucky ones to see their music together for the last tour together in Poughkeepsie New York. I fell in love again with 2 Men. I will never forget it. I was with my future husband and it sealed our love throughout time. Married 27 wonderful years. I love you my Soul Men 💜🤙
it was the beginning of a fabulous duo in which Bobby Hatfield revealed his magnificent voice. Thank you little Latin Lupe Lu
Thank you Bill Medley. You were just as good.
@@sheilamorgan3845 No one said he wasn't, so just chill! People have a right to have their favorite.
@@jessiem276
Pretty sure I never said he wasn't. Pretty sure I just said Bill Medley was just as good too. So one can mention their favorite and you say nothing. I mention Bill and you bulk about it. I think you just love to try to start arguments. Chill out and grow up.
Righteous Brothers (not actually brothers) is where a great bass-baritone Bill Medley meets the legendary tenor Bobby Hatfield, one of the greatest voices ever! See unchained melody 👌
Bobby is so humble.
Two beautiful and talented men. Thanks for the memories Bill and Bobby!
Unchained Melody! ♥️ I have to listen to that every day and night! Beautiful Romantic Poignant, Sweet, Best Love Song that Ever was!!! Love You Bobby Forever and Ever! Voice of An Angel from Heaven! 🎤🎼🎧👼💙😘
Bobby had a once in a generation voice. Gone too soon.
They were both great.
I met the Righteous Brothers at their tour bus, had a ticket for their 1969 concert and was in a major car wreck. Took 7 yrs. to come back. I still had the ticket. They were so gracious to see i not only survived, but came back to see them. They were so gracious and kind, but truly impressed I still had the ticket. Had a great time with them.
What an epic story!!! Love it!
Wow, you were lucky in more ways than one.
glad you made it
"Unchained Melody" is a truly great pop record. What a vocal Bobby Hatfield delivered on that one!
What incredible voices.
Bobby was my favorite!!
1965 listening to the Righteous Brothers on a 9 V. Transistor radio....
Bobby ....immer umwerfend.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
.
Love and Adore Bobby Forever!!! Bill is a Sweetheart too!!!! Love Them Incredible voices! R.I.P. Bobby You are Loved Forever!!! 😘🎧🎤🎼🙏👼💙
Never be anybody like the legendary Righteous Brothers, the best duo I ever heard!
Pure class and talent.

Talking about his trademark song, he gives his partner due respect about his producing it.
I saw bill medley in the frontier in 1970 October I was just a few days out of the service he had a brown suit on going into a small bar on the right side of the casino I didn't bother him but I was in awe!!!
Both amazing singers and people
I just treasure these two music legends..
I Love how, at ease, Bobby and Bill are in this Video.
Bobby🥰🥰
Love to hear their thoughts of their success, pretty humble.
Definitely legends. The best music from the 60s
I wish in the album or the record or CD that they had used the ending that Bobby had used for unchained Melody on the Andy Williams show. I would be playing it 24 hours a day. The register and the sound have not been rivaled. And we are denied hearing it because they have not put it on any CD that we could purchase to enjoy. I don’t know why they can’t take that now and add it back to an album so people could have that version to enjoy
Thanks for uploading... obviously very rare footage
I feel so sorry for the youth of 2022 who listen to music with no melody or lyrics just banging and noise.
Where I go to the beach they sometimes play this song but only in the morning before most people come.
Sadly the romantic era is, over
Dziękuję ♥️ najbardziej lubię Bobby wspaniały głos szkoda, że tak szybko odszedł♥️
Yes , Bobby, you pronounce well " Château Marmont " , with a little sexy accent !🥰 From a french speaker from Québbec.

Bobby hatfield was so handsome and so talented I am 70 and look at them every day.....
My 1st daughter was born in a birth center,when the nurse gave her back to me after her bath,she told me that Emily stopped fussing when she sang Ebb Tide.Emily just turned 39,that song is forever in my heart
Born with unchained melody. Singing it to my current big love my puppy shiva whom I nicknamed "Shiva ghost" cause of the film that made this song popular again
Thank you for their history. Very interesting. They are two of my many favorites throughout my entire lifetime. Phenomenal !
Peace & Love ❤️
My all time favorites.
I was literally born into these songs and they tell my life story. Unrequited love
These 2 becoming more and more iconic. It's a kick watching young people react to their biggest performances. Phil Spector could write some awesome music. Shame their live performances seemed to lose that pounding rock feel. I blame that on the band though for not trying to capture that essential groove.
It would be kinda hard for their ten piece band to do that, though. When Phil Spector went into the studio to make their records, he employed about 50 musicians, I'm guessing, in total, including the Wrecking Crew. If memory serves, You've Lost That Loving Feeling had three pianists and three bassists, just for starters, plus an entire string section and a backing choir. It'd be hard (and financially disastrous, I think) to take a group of that size on tour.
@@hallieharker4384 Wow.
@@futuregenerationz I understand where you're coming from, though. I've seen a clip of them performing Lovin' Feelin' with their backing band and the first time I saw it, I thought something along the lines of, "Well, THIS is different! It has a kind of calypso feel to it."
Phil Spector didn't write music.
@@julien.4617 He did write a few tunes.
A class act all around. Just perform, and let their talent carry the day.
They were actually discovered in San Francisco when they were performing at Navy Bases and the Audience who were predominately Black would clap and say "That's Righteous Brothers" and the rest is History. What set them apart was that they were the first White Act that helped epitomize Blue Eyed Soul that was coined by a Philly DJ. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is next to "Stairway To Heaven" the most frequently played son in Music. It was written by the Husband/Wife Team of Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil that Phil Spector produced. Then they recorded 'Soul & Inspiration" both of which went to Number One but they didn't work with Phil Spector on that one. They would eventually break up in the 1970's but Bobby fell on hard times, he gave up his share of "Unchained Melody" which was a Standard. He made a major mistake because he didn't get paid when Ghost was released. In 1981 they reunited to Sing Rock & Roll Heaven on The American Bandstnad TV Special where they paid homage to Elvis, John Lennon & Jim Morrison amongst others. What was so eerie was that so many folks who performed on the show would later die. Teddy Pendergrass after leaving Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire, Carl & Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys. Now alot of Young People are discovering them and are blown away. In the ending Credits you see Merrill Shindler's Name but he was the announcer for America's Top Ten starring Casey Kasem.
Marines from the El Toro Marine base in Orange County California attend their shows at a club near the base. They are the ones who started calling them righteous brothers. Edited to add: They both gave up rights to a number of songs, in the late '60s, in a deal with a record company to finally get royalties they were owed. They didn't realize until some 20 years or so later that it wasn't such a good deal.
Amazing. The voice. Love them
Awesome
Legends!
Thank you.
Best white romantic singers America has to offer. Best singers IMHO are not WASP. Talented.
Heart be still
2:41 IF BOBBY HAD DONE THAT TODAY HE WOULD HAVE CLEARED OUT THE PLACE. L.O.L.
Haha Yeah It does gets our attention to feels uncomfortable hearing coughs noise even if it's before corona
Phil spector was GREAT song producer.........
Real Hard Times early music industry history. "We wanted to make $200 a week in Las Vegas for Life... and were HAPPY with that" is a quote that REALLY shows what singers/music industry was then. Interesting.
What?! They were from Orange County!
Ikr! And I live in orange county ! Garden Grove to be exact !
@@shuilynmua8584 I lived there ' 64 thru '70. Anaheim and Fountain Valley. Unfortunately, I never went to any of their shows. Too busy working. We moved to El Toro after my son was born in Anaheim.
I remember when Bill had his club in Fountain Valley. I lived in Huntington Beach. I went a few times. Bill was not there, but it was full of Raiders.
Does anyone know where i can find the version of Unchained Melody where they’re both singing? It’s like it was completely removed from existence.
In the studio recording Bill sings almost inaudible background vocals. That's as close to both singing it as you'll ever find. It was always Bobby's solo.
The Rolling Stones?? Bobby and Bill were much better!
not even same genre of music so why compare? please.
Is times for this former gprs, rigorous bros,... too be. Chosen for the rock n.rolls hall of fames, now 2021, ones still a lives.bill,nor Bobby, comes on.you peoples, now four more. Yrs I haves any times. Left on. This planets,
They were inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 2003.
How old was Bobby Hatfield when he died
Just check a Bio. Way too young for all the fans! What a beautiful man with a beautiful voice!
A little late for the answer ,but at 63 .😢
2:50 Mentions Johnny Wimber
What i remember best from the sixties is that girls were not ashamed of their breasts and wore great tight sweaters.
They're a bit of a hoot
It shock brits, the United kingdoms, thought they were.blk Americans, but mistaken. This ones.
But you still haves a magic touch. Also both were.great singers, you both made $120.0000 dollars 💵 🤣 😂. But the doors were.shut in yours faces too.but yous.reaches the peak. The higher ⛰ 🏔. Mountains. Glad you did. It took a whiles.
I can't believe that there not even brothers, lol
Poor bill medleys wife got murdered
They were divorced when it happened, but no less tragic.
Amazing duo...Bobby's voice unsurpassed....
