Bobby Hatfield's mother was in the audience that night and he was nervous singing in front of her. The smile at the end is because he knew he nailed it. Imagine singing like that LIVE!
Happy you’re back! So amazing your grandpa inspired you to do this reaction! god bless he’s out of the hospital! ….PS Would love to see your reaction to the latest Tom MacDonald video. ❤️❤️
This is a perfect example of what used to be called "blue-eyed soul." Beegees is another group that represents that genre. For both brothers singing together, try "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" live (but in black and white). Keep on discovering all music and sharing the joy with us.
I'm 75. This song will live in your head. This was Vietnam era when thousands of soldiers were away. Listen to their "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."
Bobby is LIVE and singing with a very bad cold, nervously in front of a huge television audience, and the first time for his mother was in an audience to see him. He sang soooo well !
Hello, fan! Thanks for reaching out congratulations🎁🎊🎉🎁 you won a (pc or PlayStation5) cheerful send a message to above to acknowledge your prize............
The fact that he had a cold and could still hit those high notes is simply amazing. I am a woman and I can’t even hit those notes without having a cold. This is one of the best live vocal performances EVER, and I mean in all genres of music. Simply flawless.
If this is your grandads first choice I'd love to see what else he has in his locker. Amazing song and one of the best live vocal performances ever. It's funny you mentioned "can you imagine what the studio version is like" because back then the live performances are more often than not far superior,great reaction!
The righteous Brothers have some of the most iconic tracks ever recorded. Bill meadlys voice has no equal either. Guy was unbelievable. His power and tone.
I was born in 1965 the same year this song came out. I can remember my mother playing this song and dancing around the singing it. It brings back good memories
I really miss your reactions to all the other genre's. You're absolutely right, you need to bring that back. And this live version is so much better than the studio version.. this is the gold standard for this song.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I heard 16 year old Angelina Jordan cover many of the classic old songs and sing them live better than the original. Compare her at age 12 to the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody: ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html. Then request a reaction here.
This song was covered over 650 times and is the most played song ever. You need to remember there was no auto-tune. This is solely Bobby's voice alone. His range was outrageous, spanning 5 octaves. If I remember correctly, they had over 20 number 1 hits and 3 albums in the top 100 at one time. You can't pick a bad song from them. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "Soul & Inspiration" and Bill's solo of "The Time of My Life" are amongst their top hits.
They had 22 Billboard hot 100 hits of which 2 were number ones. They were the first band to have 3 albums in the top 20 simultaneously and the only one to have two versions of the same song in the top 20 simultaneously (Unchained Melody). ‘Lovin Feeling’ was the most played song of the 20th century and was not surpassed until 2019. It is also listed in the Library of Congress as ‘culturally significant’
Definitely next you have to see them singing "You Lost That Loving Feeling" & "Soul and Inspiration". Also videos of "You'll Never Walk Alone" from The Ed Sullivan TV show your grandaddy must have watched and baritone Bill singing solo "Brown Eyed Woman" backed up by the Blossoms on the TV show Playboy After Dark. You will also like Bobby hitting some crazy notes singing "Summertime" and you gotta hear one of their blues records..listen to Bill sing lead on "I Wanna Make Love To You". I subscribed,
@@zanhar7688 lol. I had the right numbers for the most part, just the particulars screwed up. Thanks for correcting me. I knock it up to old age and for not fact checking myself like I normally do.
That little smile at the end, when he bit his lip, is cuz it was the first x his moms was in the audience and he knew he nailed it. Have you done Janis Joplin live at Monterey, singing Ball and Chain? Greatest live vocal ever.
Reactions like this make us realize who in it for the check and who in it to spread good music/vibes. My boy Shaq ain’t even tripping about no views or nothing, this for Grandpop’s. That’s love right there. And this madddd innovative 🔥🔥
@@jc199159 Actually, he did not OD. If that trace amount of cocaine was really there, it couldn't cause an overdose. When was the last time the news got anything right?!
@@Aurora-tp3dy sorry let me reword. Heart failure from advanced coronary disease with the addition of years of cocaine use. He was 63, any amount of cocaine can kill you when you’ve been alive for 6 decades and have heart disease. News got it right.
@@jc199159(Edit: Don't know where your last comment has gone, but I'm leaving my reply.) Absolutely, no overdose. Years of cocaine use!? Just stop it. You really have no idea what you are talking about. And, the news media did not get it right. There was nothing in his medical records or autopsy that even hinted at such nonsense. I've got an idea just talk about his talent or just stay silent. It's really bad form to talk badly about the dead...it reflects badly on you.
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE REACTING TO THIS! Too many people say that they're music people but just keep it to one genre. It can get boring. This is my kinda music. Motown too. Just beautiful.
Respect on new levels. My mom loves this track. One for the old school. Look up the motion picture, Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze. Sending love from South Africa, ONE LOVE!!!✊🏽💥
Here are some facts for you: I was born in 1965. My youngest son was born in 1993. I met my second husband back in 1989. We were on our way to a dance (back in 1991) and got into a huge fight (like the break up kind of fight). He said he would drop me off at the dance then he was leaving. Well, he stayed. They played this song and we shared our first dance together. We have now been together 33 years. This song, obviously; has a very special meaning to us both. We got to dance to it in Hawaii as we celebrated our 30th anniversary! Thank you so much for reacting to it!!
My dad who was my best friend ❤️ died in Oct 2021. He was found dead in his bed one month after taking the j&j vaccine. A song that we always said was "our" song is called Silent Lucidity. That song just always happened to come on when we would be together in the truck or at home. He lived 4 hours away from me. I would love to see your reaction to it. It is definitely a type of song you are describing. Thanks. I think your awesome, so funny. You bring me joy in my time of grief.
I'm so glad you said you want to get back to more different genre reactions. Your channel did blow up during that time and your reactions were alot of fun to watch with all the different songs. Your Freebird reaction was the best reaction I've ever seen on ANY platform, that one will go down in history haha! Much love bro xoxo
Here is a vocal artist who has brought me to tears every day but four since before Easter. 16 year old Angelina Jordan covers many of the classic old songs and sings them live better than the original. Compare her at age 12 to the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody: ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html. Then request a reaction here.
You should check out “ you’ve lost that loving feeling” they both sing on that one. Mostly it’s the other guy and he’s got a deep Barry White baritone voice. You cannot live in this world without hearing this song on TV, commercials and movies.
Many thought the way you do, until they heard 16 year old Angelina Jordan cover many of the classic old songs and sing them live better than the original. Compare her at age 12 to the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody: ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html. Then request a reaction here.
No, no, no. People just must use their voices as instruments again. Such talent may be rare but it is MISSING when no one tries to do it. The shower is a great place to see what you got. Great acoustics.😘
Back in the 50is - the super great Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald; going forward try Crying with kd Lang. Back again, the great Brook Benton - Georgia, Nat King Cole. Percy Sledge ' Anß to my prayer, jackie ŴILSON , AL Greene - HOW DO YOU MÈND A BROKEN HEART.
I'm 65 years old and found out a few years ago that this was not the first version of this song. Before my time. The lyrics is actually about an inmate locked up, hoping that their love is strong enough for her to wait for him. #unchained
The song is from a movie called Unchained from 1956, I believe. The acapella group Home Free do a version of the song that is a mix of the original song and the Righteous Brothers version. It’s definitely worth a listen.
Your Grandpa has good taste. Keep on with some of these oldies. This is real music right there. Try “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin next coach. That’s with both of them. Prayers for grandparents ❤
Pure talent and vocal ability...Absolutely NO-AUTO TUNE!!! All performed "LIVE" in one take, and this version is even better than the studio version!!!
One of the best love songs ever written, my father and mother had this as their wedding song, he passed when I was 11, 30 years later she can't listen to it without crying. Music is one of most beautiful ways to express love and form a powerful bond. Go ahead a decade or so and watch "scuttlebutting" by stevie Ray Vaughn, unbelievable skill one of the greatest blues guitar players of the modern era, Dwayne Allman is another blues guitarists to check out.
Tell your grandaddy that his taste in music is top shelf. 1965... no effects, no wizardry...just a man and a mic. ..stand and deliver. What a performance.
I am 21 years old and love the 60's, 70's, 80's and of course the 90's genres!! A special place in my heart for those types of songs! We don't recognize how talented singers were back in the day we should be blessed to hear their wonder vocals!! God Bless!
Yes please bring back the reactions to other genres, I smiled seeing your reaction to some of the older songs because I knew it was going to click and you would appreciate it for the art it is.
You're spot on, you need to expand your reactions to include all types of music. Good, bad or wtf, we enjoy your first time listen to all of our old and new favorites!
Not gunna lie. This music I heard to when I was a young. I remember this too. This that music make hair stand up and that sound just puts you at peace. That kind of feel. Thanks man. Im only 38 but remember my moms playing this heavy. Lol. This definitely has meaning with so many old music like this in the 70s, 80s, and in so many genres across the world like rap, reggae, jazz, soul, r and b. Thanks for the playback!!! Why I love this channel!! 🙏
The older I get the more I listen to the words, hear the lyrics and appreciate it and feel it. I'm 40 and now music makes cry for the beauty the soul and the love. Great song, that's why and how I grew to like your channel you reacted to so much different music.
Many in their 50s to 70s are discovering 16 year old Angelina Jordan cover many of the classic old songs and sing them live better than the original. Compare her at age 12 to the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody: ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html. Then request a reaction here.
Great reaction. My thoughts are with your Grandpa and your family. I lost my Dad not long ago. My advice is to ask as many questions as you can and write it down. When I found out my Dad was sick, I started to kinda interview him. We spent a lot of time just talking. ❤️❤️✌️

The only thing better than listening & watching Bobby sing this song, is watching all the folks reacting to hearing/seeing it for the first time. All fall in love with it. The song is beautiful - the words & the music are beautiful - and it's sung by & to the heart & soul of everyone. Thank you - I really enjoyed your show, & I wish your grandpa very well - I am about his age. ;)
This is why i love shaqs reactions this is real music, no crazy high budget editing, auto tune, mixing, syncing, etc. Shaq more of this genre please, another good one to react to is " Commodores - Easy"
I turned 50 this year and can remember my mom and dad slow dancing to this in the kitchen every time it came on the radio. So glad you finally hit this one!
The song was written about a man in prison and about to be released wanting to know if she was still waiting. More of this era and 60's and 70's. You'll love the sheer talent.
"Unchained Melody" is from a 1955 prison movie, and the song is about a prisoner awaiting his parole and hoping his wife/girl find is waiting for him...
I genuinely get upset with the state of music these days. Its absolutely disrespectful where we are today from where we came from. The amount of fucking feeling in all of these songs, all the way up until the 80's was truly remarkable. Such simple lyrics, that have such incredible meaning because of the realness to the voice, camera, microphone, the ambiance as a whole. Magic back then.
Love ya, my dude! Your reactions are just the best. Great song to react to. I just found this reaction (I'm slow lol, been off the net for a minute) and your comment that if you "hit that note, you'd get covid 19" had me rollin' on the floor. You the best. Seriously. The Righteous Brothers were amazing, like so many of their time. There are a ton of great singers/musicians, in every generation. Glad to see you took your grandpa's word for it. Keep on!
I'm SO happy that you picked THIS performance. This is hands down my favorite one because he does such a beautiful job of showcasing his ability. My wish is to have radio waves flooded with this level of talent again.
I love me some Righteous Brothers. Blue eyed soul is the genre. As much as they kill it on this song, you should check out You’ll Never Walk Alone. You get to hear both of their vocal ranges. And the emotion that comes from them is very palpable.
Been a minute since your channel dropped into my mentions. Fan of your reactions from back in the day when you used to speak your next sub goal into reality. Love to see you get back to reacting to all different types of music. Respect your grind brother.
To hear them both sing together, The Righteous Brothers, "You've lost that Loving Feeling." Check out David Draiman (Dra man) of Disturbed's video, "The Sound of Silence." I usually recommend live, but this is one where the video really adds to the song.
Dude! I’ve been waiting for you to react to something like this. I was just listening to these guys yesterday. I grew up listening to this since my parents only listened to the oldies station.
Bouta send this to my grandpa right now
You should do oldies Monday! Have a different genre for e everyday of the week.
Please play sitting on the top of the bay
God speed your love to Grandma and Grandpa Coach!
Look forward to seeing his reaction…This brought back a lot of memories carpooling to school with my dad singing to embarrassing levels! Thanks Shaq
Damn bro your grandpa still alive? Sheesh

Bet she had tears in her eyes.
Yes, and it’s reported that he had a cold! And I think I can hear it when he’s speaking.
@@amyholman354 wow that makes sense when he first started talking I thought that !! Thanks !!
Also I believed Bobby had a cold.
I wanna see more reactions from Shaq on this genre of music
Facts I need, build me up buttercup next
Agreed
Yes!

The difference between this and a lot of contemporary music is this will still be flawless in a hundred plus years
Forever i reckon lol
And still be listened to by millions.
There’s a recent popular song in the same kind of style
‘Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found Her’
Check it out 😊
Nothing but raw talent. No auto dubbed no lip sing . Just pure talent
I know, this is PURE MUSIC for real ❤
This TV performance was BETTER than the studio version. It is the greatest musical performance ever broadcast in the history of American television.
1965 live performance. LET IT SINK IN. (LIVE). No auto tune, no effects, just pure raw talent
There is one effect. Reverb but that's not a bad thing.
Just think of the hours and hours of rehearsal to perfect his craft. Unreal.
Not just live. With a cold and his mother in the audience.
no autotune, pure vocal, live. they don't make music like this because no one can sing like this anymore.
Amen 🙏
Facts
Happy you’re back! So amazing your grandpa inspired you to do this reaction! god bless he’s out of the hospital! ….PS Would love to see your reaction to the latest Tom MacDonald video. ❤️❤️
Yeah that’s not true. There are plenty of vocalists that are great live.
@@clayjay88 Right? It drives me nuts when people say that - there are ton of great musicians and great vocalists around these days.
This is better than the studio version. He didn't write this. He owns it though. One of the greatest vocal performances ever.
Hug your Grandfather- he was RIGHT ON! Bobbie Hatfield had the most angelic voice I've ever heard. His voice was truly a gift from God. RIP Bobbie!
"You lost that lovely feeling" by the righteous brothers is a good one as well
you meant "You've Lost That Loving Feeling."
Such a good one! One of my other favs!
This is what we seniors called “blue eyed soul” back in our day !
“Your my soul and hearts inspiration “ is another favorite of the Righteous Brothers.
This is a perfect example of what used to be called "blue-eyed soul." Beegees is another group that represents that genre. For both brothers singing together, try "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" live (but in black and white). Keep on discovering all music and sharing the joy with us.

No auto tune this was live raw. These guys could sing sing! 😊

Might be the best live performance of a love song ever. On vocal technique it is for sure
This is a lot better than the studio version. (my opinion) Also I consider this is one of the finest live recordings of all time! (also my opinion)
I second that emotion...
And I third it. It’s a vocal masterclass. It’s next level, as Shaq says. There’s Bobby and then there’s the rest.
Here are some facts for you: I was born in 1965. My youngest son was born in 1993. I met my second husband back in 1989.

You should check out “ you’ve lost that loving feeling” they both sing on that one. Mostly it’s the other guy and he’s got a deep Barry White baritone voice.
You cannot live in this world without hearing this song on TV, commercials and movies.
That was also in Top Gun.
Pure talent, something we’ve lost and will never find. Cherish it while you can.

Nat King Cole.
Percy Sledge ' Anß to my prayer, jackie ŴILSON ,

Cool! I always wondered why it was called "unchained".
🤯 It all makes sense now! What stories are behind the ballads of a more romantic, innocent time.
Robert Todd Duncan was his name.
Over here I thought it was the brothers that originally sang this song.
The song is from a movie called Unchained from 1956, I believe. The acapella group Home Free do a version of the song that is a mix of the original song and the Righteous Brothers version. It’s definitely worth a listen.
@@jackmandu Also, the Platters and Elvis did covers of that song

Pure talent and vocal ability...Absolutely NO-AUTO TUNE!!! All performed "LIVE" in one take, and this version is even better than the studio version!!!
You need to do Bobby Cadwell it will shock you!!!!!!!!
His range and his band partner's range, I think are amazing!
Reactions to the Righteous Brothers never get old. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.
Brought a tear to my eye… purity in the voice
“You’ve lost that loving feeling” by the righteous brothers will blow your hair back Shaq.

His voice is just incredible. It's like he just opens his mouth and it just pours out, smooth as silk without even trying.

Your Grandad has great taste in music! Beautiful song, voice and performance.
You're spot on, you need to expand your reactions to include all types of music. Good, bad or wtf, we enjoy your first time listen to all of our old and new favorites!
Not gunna lie. This music I heard to when I was a young. I remember this too. This that music make hair stand up and that sound just puts you at peace. That kind of feel. Thanks man. Im only 38 but remember my moms playing this heavy. Lol. This definitely has meaning with so many old music like this in the 70s, 80s, and in so many genres across the world like rap, reggae, jazz, soul, r and b. Thanks for the playback!!! Why I love this channel!! 🙏

1st of all… your love for your grandparents is absolutely beautiful ❤ But yea… deffo do more of other genres!
The older I get the more I listen to the words, hear the lyrics and appreciate it and feel it. I'm 40 and now music makes cry for the beauty the soul and the love. Great song, that's why and how I grew to like your channel you reacted to so much different music.
Many in their 50s to 70s are discovering 16 year old Angelina Jordan cover many of the classic old songs and sing them live better than the original. Compare her at age 12 to the Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody: ua-cam.com/video/oATEWzJxj3k/v-deo.html. Then request a reaction here.
Great reaction. My thoughts are with your Grandpa and your family. I lost my Dad not long ago. My advice is to ask as many questions as you can and write it down. When I found out my Dad was sick, I started to kinda interview him. We spent a lot of time just talking. ❤️❤️✌️
These 2 fabulous singers' music is some of the best "blue-eyed soul" EVER! Thanks for your reaction.
What I love is there is no auto tuning, pure voice.

I love Bobby's little smile at the end: "Nailed it!"
I see Shaq finally went Old School. God Bless your Grandfather. 🙏 Some Blue eyed Soul I am 75 I grew up on this

The only thing better than listening & watching Bobby sing this song, is watching all the folks reacting to hearing/seeing it for the first time. All fall in love with it. The song is beautiful - the words & the music are beautiful - and it's sung by & to the heart & soul of everyone. Thank you - I really enjoyed your show, & I wish your grandpa very well - I am about his age. ;)
Just makes you want to dance a slow dance with your love or something ❤ what an angelic voice
You’ve lost that loving feeling is another classic from them
Just an FYI they stole this. They didn't do it 1st. They took it from someone else.
This is why i love shaqs reactions this is real music, no crazy high budget editing, auto tune, mixing, syncing, etc. Shaq more of this genre please, another good one to react to is " Commodores - Easy"
Great words.
one of the most played at weddings and reunions for 50 yrs
Love to see you get back into the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Love your reactions the the oldies.
Your mixed reactions are what got me to you too!!! Do more please! I miss them☺️
I wish you would do more music reactions. There is SO MUCH amazing music you haven't experienced.
I turned 50 this year and can remember my mom and dad slow dancing to this in the kitchen every time it came on the radio. So glad you finally hit this one!
Finally you’re getting back to some music I relate to 🎉 I stay subscribed because I love your energy and I keep waiting for reactions like this.
Love this reaction - you a real one friend! 👵🏽✌🏾🕊️💚🕊️
The song was written about a man in prison and about to be released wanting to know if she was still waiting. More of this era and 60's and 70's. You'll love the sheer talent.
"Unchained Melody" is from a 1955 prison movie, and the song is about a prisoner awaiting his parole and hoping his wife/girl find is waiting for him...
I genuinely get upset with the state of music these days. Its absolutely disrespectful where we are today from where we came from. The amount of fucking feeling in all of these songs, all the way up until the 80's was truly remarkable. Such simple lyrics, that have such incredible meaning because of the realness to the voice, camera, microphone, the ambiance as a whole. Magic back then.
There will never be another duo like the Brothers! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love ya, my dude! Your reactions are just the best.
Great song to react to. I just found this reaction (I'm slow lol, been off the net for a minute) and your comment that if you "hit that note, you'd get covid 19" had me rollin' on the floor. You the best. Seriously.
The Righteous Brothers were amazing, like so many of their time. There are a ton of great singers/musicians, in every generation. Glad to see you took your grandpa's word for it. Keep on!
I'm SO happy that you picked THIS performance. This is hands down my favorite one because he does such a beautiful job of showcasing his ability. My wish is to have radio waves flooded with this level of talent again.
Now that was a singer. Righteous Brothers are just legends. Great reaction Shaq. Loved it!!
I love me some Righteous Brothers. Blue eyed soul is the genre. As much as they kill it on this song, you should check out You’ll Never Walk Alone. You get to hear both of their vocal ranges. And the emotion that comes from them is very palpable.
But nothing beats the British and Australian soccer fans singing you never walk alone 😉♥️♥️♥️ ua-cam.com/video/Go-jJlGd1so/v-deo.html
He did this cold on the spot no warmup or autotune
I used to sit in front of our stereo console and play their records. Thanks for bringing back such awesome memories ❤❤
Pure talent. No auto-tune. Nobody could ever do this like Bobby. Blue-eyed soul!
Been a minute since your channel dropped into my mentions. Fan of your reactions from back in the day when you used to speak your next sub goal into reality. Love to see you get back to reacting to all different types of music. Respect your grind brother.
Just effortlessly, look at way he’s gently holding the mic just like a walk in park
To hear them both sing together, The Righteous Brothers, "You've lost that Loving Feeling." Check out David Draiman (Dra man) of Disturbed's video, "The Sound of Silence." I usually recommend live, but this is one where the video really adds to the song.
Soul and Inspiration. They both shine.
Shaq, your reactions are PRICELESS!! You're funny, ironic, sooooooo enthusiastic, too! You're a solid trip, bro...
Dude! I’ve been waiting for you to react to something like this. I was just listening to these guys yesterday. I grew up listening to this since my parents only listened to the oldies station.
@Muscleman8562 I prefer to smoke them instead of eating them.
