"If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand" is on Bobby's grave marker. Bill still sings this in his show and ends it with "Bobby's got a helluva band"
It’s hard to believe this duet has been entertaining us for 60 years. This song was from 1974 and so many more we have lost. A great tribute to those who have passed including Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Thanks for another banger! ❤
Just a friendly reminder. When you pause, make sure you rewind for 10 sec or so, You muddled the section of lyrics that mentioned Jim Croce.
@@Hespeakstruth This song was 50 years ago but the Righteous Brothers first song was in 1964. It was “ You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”. Sorry I didn’t explain myself well. 🙂
@@Hespeakstruth their first hit record, 'Little Latin Lupe Lu' was released in 1963...🙂
In concerts now Bill gives tribute to Bobby Having a "Hell of a Band."
Actually, the Righteous Brothers' first hit was from 1962. Bill Medley wrote it; it's titled "Little Latin Lupe Lu." Check it out, it's fun!
That song was released in '74. Wished you would've watched the video to see the change in their appearance & some of the faces of the artists they mentioned. Beautiful song. Always touches my heart ❤️
Yes. The 70’s hair and outfits.
love that video where they show the singers to me makes it more impact full
The song was released in 1974. The artists mentioned are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jim Morrison, Jim Croce & Bobby Darin. The lyrics were updated in the 1990's Righteous Brothers performances to include mentions of artists who had passed after 1974 - John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter, Dennis Wilson (of the Beach Boys), Jackie Wilson & Marvin Gaye. Since then, one of the Righteous Brothers, Bobby Hatfield, has gone to "Rock & Roll Heaven". As tribute to Hatfield, Bill Medley (the other Righteous Brother) when performing this song, has changed the lyrics to "If there's a rock & roll heaven, then Bobby's got a hell of a band."
Wow! Did not know before I posted my suggestion.
"YOU'VE LOST THAT LOVIN' FEELING" THEIR BIGGEST HIT!❤❤❤❤❤
YES!!!!!!!
They've already reacted to that song a few years back.
They've done it, but if they want to do a remake, they can try the Hall and Oates version. Theirs wasn't bad at all.
Recorded in 1974 by The Righteous Brothers. I had completely forgotten about this song until you played it. It’s a great tribute song!
I forgot about it as well. Clicked on it expecting something I hadn't heard, then I remembered it. Way too long since I heard this
"You're My Soul and My Inspiration" is a great choice for these two guys.
Amber gets it. She throws her entire self into all those good vibrations!
Jay & Amber, their "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and "Ebb Tide" would be next for you!!
Also: "You'll Never Walk Alone," "I Just Want To Make Love To You" and Bobby's rendition of "Summertime" -- all jaw dropping.
Yes!!
Yes I agree
I love how far you have come in your journey recognizing the artists referenced in this.
Few people know that this song is actually a cover. "Rock and Roll Heaven" is a song written by Alan O'Day and Johnny Stevenson, popularized by The Righteous Brothers. It is a paean to several deceased singers such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, and has been rewritten a number of times to include other singers. The song was first recorded by the band Climax in 1973, but it failed to chart. It was then covered by The Righteous Brothers in 1974 and reached number three on the U.S.
Since this song came out that band is so much bigger. Now they’ve got Michael, Prince, Whitney, Aretha, Elvis, John Lennon, Tina, Karen Carpenter, and so many great artists.
David Bowie, George Michael, Freddie Mercury
Bobby died in 2003. He had a beautiful voice!❤
This song brought tears to my eyes remembering all of the BEAUTIFUL music they gave us!!!
1974, the year of my birth, so long ago, and still so powerful...a love song to rock. It was a VERY timely song, as it came on the heels of the deaths of Jim Croce and Bobby Darin who both died late in 73. If they would have held off a bit longer, they could have included Mama Cass who died the summer of '74...all of this pre-dated the deaths of Elvis (77), Ronnie Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd, 77), Keith Moon (The Who, 78), and the 1980 deaths of Bon Scott (AC/DC), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and John Lennon.
This was from the first 1/2 of the 70's. Another song from that time that was a big hit : "Life is a rock (but the radio rolled me) - Reunion". Hope you can get to it at some point.
I was just thinking about that song too! Both songs were out when I was a kid.
Love that song!!
Gotta watch the video when j&a review the reunion song. The lyrics go in very rapid procession.
Oh man....I almost forgot about "Life Is A Rock"! I was such a music geek back then, I knew ALL the words. 😆 I bet I couldn't name half of those groups and names now.
@@Cheryl_Haydon
WoW! You're amazing. You knew ALL the words. I could get through only about half of it.
"Soul And Inspiration" is the best Righteous Brothers song left. It is notable because they had left their producer Phil Spector, and Bill Medley took the producer chair and put out a record with every bit as fantastic a sound as any Spector production.
The Righteous Brothers get categorized as "blue-eyed soul." With that in mind let me bring up some other acts to check out:
The Rascals (a/k/a The Young Rascals) put out several hits in the late 60s. "People Got To Be Free" was a number one. "It's A Beautiful Morning" followed up "Groovin" with beautiful vocals. Also listen to "Lonely Too Long" and "What Is The Reason."
The Box Tops had that Memphis sound with "Soul Deep" and "Cry Like A Baby." Their singer was Alex Chilton, a legendary character.
Mitch Ryder And The Detroit Wheels had high energy rock and soul with "Jenny Take A Ride" "Sock It To Me" and "Devil With A Blue Dress On." Heavy Little Richard influence with these Detroiters.
Another great Rascals song is "How Can I Be Sure".
@@Yaktahbay Yes, 'How Can I Be Sure", the Rascal's greatest song, IMO. One of the greatest recordings ever made by any band.
They reacted to "Groovin" some time ago. Yes they need to get back to them soon.
That’s my favorite RB song.
Bill sings this now adding Bobby's name at the end. 😢😢 the official video shows the artists they are singing about. If you believe in forever, than life is a one night stand, is on Bobby's headstone.
Didn't know that. Cool.
If you have the chance. the current show is well worth it...Check the website for dates.
Happy 50th Birthday to a classic song- RIP Bobby Hatfield.....
It's hard to believe we lost some of these artists 50 years ago.
Actually was their comeback song in 74. The Righteous Brothers never disappoint! Bill Medley 84 is still performing tho with Bucky Heard. Bobby sadly passed in 2003. Bill did a fabulous solo in 68 with the Blossoms (Darlene Love) at the Playboy Club(family friendly) called BROWN EYED WOMAN. It's terrific, worth checking out.
I saw them on a show singing this but they had added a verse that had artists that had died since those in the song.
Another awesome tribute song, Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion. Pretty awesome. And ahead of its time for 1974.
I like that there is attention paid to the lyrics on this channel. I was listening to an old Dionne Warwick song recently and a lyric in the song was: "Only a fool loses tomorrow reaching back for yesterday."
Remember this so well! A sophomore in high school. 74. And I adore this songs that talk about the greatest of artists!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Over half a million subscribers…congrats.
Amber, I’m thinking the song this one reminded you of was Night Shift by The Commodores (their biggest hit post-Lionel Richie). It’s also a great tribute song that mentions Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. Love you guys ☮️❤️
Yea, that's what I thought too before reading your comment.
My all time favorite group, duo, etc.!!!
There is a video that shows those they are singing about, and also there was a Las Vegas show with impersonators portraying them. There was an updated version including those that we have lost after 1974, but it was really bad. From the start and they mention "Janis took a piece of our heart", I choke up.
Another song along this line you should definitely react to is "Abraham, Martin and John" by Dion.
(About Lincoln, MLK and JFK) Charted 1968 - 1969.
Jay's reference to Jimi playing with SRV is mentioned in the song Six Strings Down by Jimmy Vaughn, SRV's brother. The lyric is... "See the voodoo chile.
Holding out his hand.
I've been waitin' on you brother!
Welcome to the band !
This was their comeback and final hit before Bobby left us. Amber! It was fun watching the lights go on in your head as names and references went by. Great tribute song and message.
Agreed. Sometimes I really wish that I had access to some lost tracks of Janis Joplin to give to Miss Amber. As much as she loves Janis, she deserves them.
Just so there isn't any confusion: This song is from 1974; Bobby passed away in 2003.
Just a shout out to a favorite singer of mine. I dont see any confusion. If you knew my age you would either think "Wow...he was there....or..."Wow...he is old and has a failing memory! I will add that i spent a fair amount of my life to performing the Righteous bros. music. I guess my point was that Rock and Roll Heaven Band keeps adding new members.@@Aurora-tp3dy
This is a tear jerker.They were so young when they passed.Check out Commodores "Night Shift".
They have doen them not long ago because they noticed that L. Richie wasn't on it.
The Righteous Brothers, Little Latin Lupe Lu. 😎
Yes!!!
This song peaked at number 3 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1974. They did an undated version on American Bandstand in 1981 which included Elvis and John Lennon. It's a you tube video.
This song is fantastic! ❤️✌🏻🎶
One of my favorites
Remembering legends gone.
The song you're thinking of is Nightshift by the Commodores.
I love their song (You're My) Soul and Inspiration.
Also Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes did The Time of My Life from the movie Dirty Dancing.
Yes , Finally Did This Song 👍I Knew you would do this song , Great Reaction Guy's
Beautiful song. I always picture that Heavenly band.
So many Great hits by the Righteous Brothers! Bobby Hatfield had such an amazing voice, especially on the hit Ebb Tide.
This was from 1974. A beautiful tribute song. Glad you 2 enjoyed
SUCH a GREAT TUNE!!! Love this one!!
Great reaction you two. I have always loved this song; it came out while I was in high school and every singer they referenced was meaningful.
Also, I too, love the phrase, "If you believe in forever, life is just a one night stand." LOVE it!!!!
And now that Eddie has joined them…he, Jimi, SRV and randy Rhodes are having the craziest guitar jam ever!
Indeed....
I’ve always loved this !!!
There’s a part 2 to this song with other artists added! Please check that one out too!
The video of them singing show the stars that have passed which you can’t see on this. It’s 1974. It’s a tribute song. The greatest duo of all time.
childhood and teenage memories. you guys bring so many back. love you two.
This song was. So popular during my senior year in high school,1974
I hope to see you dive deeper into Brenda Lee's rabbit hole, she who sold the most charted hits throughout the 60's of any female vocalist, and 4th overall behind only Elvis, the Beatles and Ray Charles. Brenda Lee is still alive and active! She became famous in the south from live radio appearances in the mid 50's when she was about 9 or 10 years old and became nationally famous at 13. She sang different genres and was one of the pioneers (literally one of the first) to do rockabilly. When you do get back to her, may I suggest her "Dynamite - 1957". It's very short, but I promise you it will knock your socks off.
This is called blue-eyed soul. These guys were the best. Bobby Hatfield with his beautiful tenor voice & Bill Medley with his deeper voice. They were magic together. Other great songs by them are "Soul & Inspiration", "Just Once In My Life", "Ebb Tide" etc.
This song Rock & Roll Heaven includes the names of a lot of deceased singers such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jim Croce & Bobby Darin. This song has been rewritten a number of times to include other singers as they passed away. They later added Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Roy Orbison, Jackie Wilson, Ricky Nelson, Dennis Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Cass Elliot, Stevie Ray Vaughan etc.
Pay attention. They've reacted to those other songs.
Looks like a cut and paste from Wikipedia 😂
I was 17 when this song debuted and man, was it on the radio a lot! WLS in Chicago played the heck out of it. Love the Righteous Brothers, and this is my favorite song by them. Fun times!
Hey Dave! I'm from southeast Missouri, when I was 17, I'd listen to WLS at night. That was 52 years ago.🎉
@@sherireynolds1410 Larry Lujack! My favorite DJ!
One of my favorite RB songs!!!
"LITTLE LATIN LUPE LOU"👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤❤❤
So glad you guys reacted to this song. This is such a great tribute to some of the great singers of their time that passed
Chills and tears...............remarkable duo.❤
Y'all should hear Ebb Tide covered by The Righteous Brothers and The Platters. It is A Beautiful song.
Great song love your reaction. You get me smiling.
It came out in 1974 when the sound productions were reaching higher levels
I haven’t heard this in forever. Forgotten what a great song it is.
a great tribute for rock legends !
Love this song!
Bill Medly opened an oldies club in my town Long Beach, CA. They performed on opening night!!💋💋
Love this one today, thanks to you guys, even more than back in the day. A hellova band made me smile.
My baby brother was 14 when this was popular and when he found out that they were going to be performing at the Great America in St. Louis he begged me to drive down from Chicago and being big brother I said, "why not kid!" I enjoyed it because I was 14 when I first heard them in 64. Had a terrific time and it was a moment we both still talk about!!
gosh, I had forgotten this song and I bought this as a 45 in jr high. After this it was pretty much movie soundtrack duets with various artists.
I was lucky enough to hear them in person and they were amazing!! Thanks for the memories!! 😊 I love watching you Amber and Jay!
Please listen to Gary Puckett and the Union Gap singing Woman.
I am curious on how many references J and Amber pick up on who are members of the rock and Roll Heaven Band mentioned here. PS I know Bobby has brought his amazing voice into the Band. I bet they cover his "Unchained Melody" up there since he arrived. Sing on Bobby!!!!
Addendum: Good job guys. It must be fun to have a whole new set of knowledge to pick from in such a short time. We picked it up gradually while you two are getting a massive dose. We changed with this music as it changed. I wonder how it will effect you. Do you feel changed?
Great song from their '74 album 'The Sons of Mrs. Righteous'.
💖💖💖 Love this song. It mentions these singers that have passed - Jimi (Hendrix), Janis (Joplin), Otis (Redding), Jim (Morrison), "Jimmmy" (Croce) and Bobby (Darin).
ROB SQUAD I GOT TO TELL YOU QUITE OFTEN YOU GUYS PLAY A SONG THAT, WHEN I HEAR IT, I KNOW THE SONG AND LOVE THE SONG BUT I HAD NEVER REALIZED THAT THE ARTIST WAS WHO IT WAS AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SONGS!!!
I'VE LOVED THIS SONG FROM THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD IT AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I NEVER REALIZED IT WAS THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS!😮😮
BUT THEY ARE NOW ALSO IN ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN WITH THE REST OF THE GREAT BAND!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd love to hear an update of this song with all of the amazing artists that passed since including Elvis, John Lennon, Karen Carpenter, John Denver, Olivia, etc.
Try George Harrison’s tribute to John Lennon all those years ago
So glad you finally did this one. I've been recommending it for a couple years. It was my dad's favorite song by The Righteous Brothers, so as I listened again for the first time in so long, I couldn't help but think of Pop up there enjoying the show. Thank you.
As for my recommendation this time, I have to suggest my own favorite by them. "You're My Soul and Inspiration." Such a beautiful song, I know you'll both love it.
Wow, I forgot totally about this song and haven’t listened to it at all in about 50 years. Thanks for reacting to it. What a great song.
A powerful tribute to Rock 'N Rollers who have passed.
This song was a hit in 1974. It was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, the same two who wrote "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (with Phil Spector) and the Righteous Brothers' follow-up to "Lovin' Feelin'," "Just Once In My Life," which only one or two reactors have ever done a reaction video to. The Righteous Brothers actually broke up in 1967, a year after their big hit, "(Youre My) Soul and Inspiration," and Bobby continued under the Righteous Brothers name with Jimmy Walker (from the Knickerbockers). But they didn't have any hits and disbanded in 1971. Meanwhile, Bill had a solo hit in 1968 called "Brown Eyed Woman" about interracial relationships that was released around the time of the Supreme Court's ruling in the Loving v. Virginio case in which interracial marriage was declared legal. There's a great video of it on UA-cam where he sings with the girls group The Blossoms on an appearance on The Playboy Channel. Fast forward to 1974 and Bob and Bill got back together and released "Rock and Roll Heaven," a tribute to a number of famous recording artists who died much too young. ("Jimi gave us Rainbows," a reference to Jimi Hendrix; "Janis took a piece of our heart," a reference to Janis Joplin; "Otis brought us all to the dock of the bay," a reference to Otis Redding; "Sing a song to light my fire, remember Jim that way," a reference to Jim Morrison of the Doors; "Remember Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, remember Jimmy touched us with that song," a reference to Jim Croce, "And Bobby gave us Mac the Knife, look out he's back in town," a reference to Bobby Darin. This was their last big hit together. "Unchained Melody" was re-released when it was hot because of the movie "Ghost." But Bob and Bill never had another hut together as a duo. But there are a few Righteous Brothers songs you have get to listen to. Their first hit, written by Bill Medley, was "Little Latin Lupe Lu," (pronounce "loopy"). A rock song, really, very different from their blue-eyed soul songs that made them so well-known. As I mentioned, there's "Just Once In My Life," and Bobby had one other solo hit called "Ebb Tide." Unfortunately,, there no live performance of him singing it on UA-cam. Don't be fooled by the guy who looks and even sounds a lot like him who's on UA-cam. He's an imitator, n ot the real deal. But you can hear the studio recording of "Ebb Tide" on UA-cam, and it's an excellent example of Phil Spector's "Wall of Soound" production technique that he was so well-known for. There's also a performance of "Summertime" on UA-cam that Bobby performs solo, which is a barn burner. And you really must hear their version of "You'll Never Walk Alone," a version of which by Gerry and the Pacemakers is, to this day, the theme song for one of the big soccer teams in the UK.
As you may know, since Bobby died in 2003, Bill has continued to perform as half of the Righteous Brothers with his new partner, Bucky Heard, and they play Las Vegas. Bucky is certainly not Bobby Hatfield, but he does a credible job singing with Bill. I listened to Bucky's solo album and was surprised to hear that he did a FANTASTIC job with the song, "Somewhere (There's A Place for Us)." You might oughta check it out. It's beautiful. ua-cam.com/video/0cCDoLQ6HS4/v-deo.htmlsi=ECiwnw84Q6eG_AMK
Beg pardon, but "Rock & Roll Heaven" was written by Alan O'Day and Johnnn Stevenson, "Soul and Inspiration" was written by Mann-Weil.
Jay and Amber this song came out in 1974. I love it my brother bought the record when it came out.
Maybe their last big hit. Give Just Once In My Life a listen. Bill Medley said it was his favorite to do with Bobby.
Yes, the live video so Bobby isn't being drowned out by the "wall of sound."
Correct, this was their last hit from 1974👍✌️
You got to check out the MC 5 A Detroit band Kick Out The Jams Ramblin Rose .
Jay you will love Johnny Rivers “Rocking pneumonia and boogy soggy flu”. Great piano. Amber I think you,lol love Ray Peterson,s “The Wonder of you”. Great Sax in it. Keep up the good work.
This song still brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my lips!
Wow, I haven't heard this song in forever!! I had forgotten all about it. It was awesome to hear it again. It came out in '74 when I was 8!! Hard to believe it is 50 years old this year!! Great song!!
When Bill Medley does this song now in concert with his new partner, he sings at the end "Bobby's got a hell of a band," referring to the other original Righteous Brother Bobby Hatfield who has since passed.
Wow, I didn't know it was them. They crossed over successfully to the next decade.
The late songwriter, hit making artist Alan O Day co-wrote this song. The group Climax first recorded this song with very little chart action. Fifties band Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids also covered this tune with different lyrics about rock and soul artists that passed in the 50's.
This song came years after their initial hot string of hits. Ones I don't think you have heard yet are Soul and Inspiration, and Just Once In My Life.
Another great "nostalgia" song is Do You Remember Rock 'N' Roll Radio, by The Ramones. It's a great tribute to growing up listening to the radio.
And "Abraham, Martin and John" by Dion.
Thank you. I forgot how sentimental you guys are. Great reaction. Glad you dug it.
Wow! Thanks guys! I had forgotten about this song. What a great trip down memory lane for me.
Paying homage to the greats of their time it’s beautiful! It makes me smile, and shed a tear for days gone by😢❤❤
You should check out Righteous brother Bill Medley hit songs (on his own) "Brown eyed woman" and "Peace Brother peace"...We sure could use a song about Peace about now. Bill is still around and still singing in his 80's!!
I've heard this song, since it came out. It just hit me, that it gives me Three Dog Night vibes.
I've got a Rightous Brothers song that is often overlooked; " Little Latin Lupe Lu ". It's a little bit different from them but a really fun song. Highly recommended!
Thanks again my Utube family! Bringing back great memories.
Heaps of love going to you both and your beautiful family that you've kindly shared with us all!
Love YA'S!
We need a part 2; so many great artists have left us since this song was made. John and George, Prince, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Bowie, just to name a few.
The Righteous Brothers were loved by everyone, all their songs were so good, they pleasured us with good feelings while listening to their music. 👏👏👏💜💜
"Night Shift" by the Commodores was the song you were trying to recall, Amber. Same theme.
