Who should I listen to and react to next?
Please react to "Retrospection" (OMV). It is Jinjer's metal love letter to their parents separated from the band because of their touring schedule, politics and war. The OMV gives a glimpse into the band's life that one normally doesn't get from other bands. With everything going on, it is a very poignant video. 💙💛🌻
Please react to BTS "House of cards" in concert, is amazing 🙏
Richard Paige plese!!
CRASH TEST DUMMIES. YOU WILL LOVE THE SOUND❤❤❤
Check out Human Nature (Aussie vocal gruop) do some motown or jukebox stuff. Smoky Robinson stole them from us and now they have a residency in Las Vegas. I'm surprised you haven't done John Farnham. Celine Dion had started covering his song You're The Voice at all her shows.
How they can go from dueling each other straight to perfect harmony without missing a beat with each other is simply phenomenal
Love the way Bobby just sits back with his hand on his cheek while Bill does his thing, and when it's his turn, he just goes all out!
Bobby didn't have in informal training, all natural, it's just pure angle.
@@marilynjaycaye1148 its mostly because he was very anxious and stage frightened, so he was concentrating like crazy there to not screw up!
@@marilynjaycaye1148this is not right he went to th south california uniyversity four 4 jeara and studied musik. One can read it on google
and wiki. From GER.
Has nothing to do with stage fright. It's preplanned stage direction. Just like how they climbed the small platform together.
The greatest duo of all time imo. 57 years have past and this still sounds great. No autotune pure talent. A shame the music today can’t compare. This song was actually the most played song of the 20th Century. If you don’t believe me, Google it. Sadly Bobby Hatfield left us in 2003. A golden voice with fabulous range. I was 15 years old when this came out and I remember what I was doing when I first heard it. Not much else you can say about Bobby’s version of Unchained Melody. Covered by over 670 artists but his version is untouchable. Give Rock And Roll Heaven a listen to from 1974. It’s there tribute song to stars that have passed and Soul and Inspiration. Thx for the memories
Yes Soul & inspiration was just great, Bill Medley did the (supposedly) the non hit songs. He really aced the wall of sound perfectly....Phil took credit for this, too.
Them, and the Everly Brothers before them. The Righteous Bros benefited from the Wall of Sound recording technique. All genius.
@@DavidGl62 Soul and Inspiration was their first record after leaving Spector's label. Bill produced it. Yes, he used what he learned by watching Spector. During the year and halfish(?) they were with Spector, Bill produced the album tracks that weren't to be released as singles. That's how Bill came to produce Unchained Melody. Spector put it on the B-side of Hung on You for reasons only his crazy mind can comprehend. He would put what he considered throw away songs on B-sides. When it became a hit, he claimed producer credit.
@@Aurora-tp3dy yes, and there were some who say he resented Bill, for making this song. That's why he relegated it to a "B"side. His ego stoked, and it drove him to reject any possible hit by Bill. I think it was his very ego that was the reason they left. They chose an unfinished song Soul and Inspiration which was a supposed follow up to You've Lost. As a way of making an insult to Phil, it actually was to me, almost as great a song .....
@@DavidGl62 Spector's ego was as big as all outdoors. I made you; I can destroy you. He was actively trying to break them up. His asking Bobby to do Ebb Tide solo was part of it. When Bobby agreed, Bill was supposed to get so angry he would dump Bobby.
Phil's idea was get rid of Bobby and he would produce Bill as a solo act. At that point, Bill wasn't having it even though he says he didn't feel any loyalty to Bobby, but to how hard they both worked to get where they were. He says he never told Bobby any of this. After this is when they left Spector and signed with Verve records.
But, the seed was planted for their eventual break-up. Bill says he never really committed to the Righteous Brothers until 1990. 🤷🏼♀️
His deep voice is so... 🔥 if a man says to me "baby baby, I get down on my knees for you" with that voice, I inmediatly will say "yes"...
Can you say “biased” to the type of singer you are [opera singer]? It’s only natural. Too bad she can’t sing like Bill, or else she’d appreciate it more.
Two part harmony .is these two men's middle names. They are legends. I may sound like an old fart but they don't make music like this any more. I had the honor of having these men on the TV and the radio. To them, this was just another day in the office. How did he do that - he was super, super GOOD. GOD given talent. I have no other answer.
Hi I really enjoyed your reaction, historical note, Cher is one of the backup singers. This was at a time when she was just starting to attempt her singing career. Add this song was in 1964 way before the soundtrack from grease.
I'm always amazed at the depth of knowledge that people have about music. I was a teen when this came out, I've always loved music but not the nuts and bolts of how it's made. I get Maggie's depth of knowledge.....it's her life. Thank you for that factoid about Cher, she's a music great
Yea but it is the same bassline I'm both songs maybe in different keys but the progression is the same set of intervals
I don't know if anyone had mentioned this before, but "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was the Most Played Record on American Radio in the 20th century; it was played over 8 Millon times in the final thirty-six years of the century.
Love the righteous brothers. A richness and depth to their style that most modern singers don’t seem to have.
according to BMI "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is the most Listen to song of the 20th Century
_You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'_ was released in 1964 by the Righteous Brothers. _Summer Nights_ from Grease was first performed on stage in 1971 and the movie is from 1978.
You like Bobby Hatfield? He did a solo called "Summertime," astonishing! The Righteous Brother not only did duets but each one did solos as well. Also, Bill Medley had a hit called "The time of my life."
As heard in the movie “Dirty Dancing.”
Thank you! I had no idea that was him! He's got a velvet voice with just enough edge.
Fun reaction, but just to clarify, Bobby Hatfield didn't sing falsetto on this song or Unchained Melody. He had a natural four-octave range. It's why those high notes are so clear, controlled and rich, they're in normal head voice for him.
I don't think his ability to sing those in head voice precludes that he chose to sing them in falsetto here. Singers, as Maggie demonstrated, can sing the same note in different "voices."
Those notes were falsetto. That’s not to say he couldn’t hit the same note in head or mixed but here, in this recording, it absolutely is falsetto
But Bob Hatfield was a natural. He didn't need to sing falsetto. He had the range naturally he could hit the notes right without singing falsetto. For instance the Bee Gees sing falsetto and also Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons sings falsetto there's a difference.
Nothing false about Bobby's voice!!
@@robinakym2356 It is absolutely NOT Falsetto. So SHUT UP because you don't know what you're talking about. Falsetto is weaker and breathy. The way Bobby sings those notes with a POINTED edge with power is done in a MIXED HEAD voice. Even the Opera singer talking about the song above said the same thing.
When I hear this song all I think is ,TOP GUN.
This song was out waaaaaaay before Grease. But since Grease took music based on the music of the 1960's, it would make sense that they would copy that riff.
This was one of everybody's favorite songs. It was a great song to slow dance to. Since I was a baritone, I really liked Bill Medley's voice. However, Bobby had an amazing voice too. Bobby died way too young, but Bill is still touring with Bucky Heard as the Righteous Brothers.
Although the movie came out in 1978, the Broadway musical debuted in 1971, still about six or seven years after The Righteous Brothers.
That note pattern has a decidedly Latin flavor. You can hear it on songs like “El Watusi” by Ray Barretto, for example.
Would you believe neither of these guys had formal training beyond high-school glee club and church choir. They learned to sing R&B listening to the radio…. In the mid seventies Bill lost his voice and started working with a vocal coach to get it back but as far as I know Bobby just figured it out by singing…..
Wrong. In interviews, Bobby talks about vocal exercises his coach gave him
@@7425park I think you are referring to Bill Medley, who had to work with a coach to get his voice back. Before that he thought coaching would change his natural voice so he didn’t do it. Bobby almost never gave interviews - and if you have any links I’d love love to see them. In several years of searching I’ve only found about two. He also rarely rehearsed…. Bill commented that when they were recording, Bobby would come in unrehearsed and lay down a track cold in just one take. Said Bill “He was just that good”. If he’d had coaching I expect he would have taken better care of his voice.
Bobby majored in music in college. He had plenty of training. You don't reach his level of virtuosity without formal training.
@@catherinelw9365 Bobby majored in athletics. He wanted to play major league baseball and coached several teams (baseball, football and basketball) while in college. He was being scouted for the Dodgers but his fall-back plan was pro coaching. His school yearbooks are available on line if you look for them. (Anaheim high school alumni). He did have his own band (the Variations) in college and they performed at dances and proms in the area.
Love the Righteous Brothers. Listen to “Your My Soul and My Inspiration” next by them. You’ll like it.
I believe this song was one of the most played and listened to of the 20th century
Written for The Righteous Brothers by Phil Spector, Barry Mann and Cynthis Weil, this song is cited as a high point in music production and exemplary of Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound." It went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1965. As far as "borrowing" from other songs, even The Beatles said they would "nick" from other songs. Really enjoyed your previous reaction (one of the best ones) to Unchained Melody, appreciative of this one (effects are a little distractive). Always great passion and instructive reaction. Thank you.
Spector went from wall of sound to walls around.
The three chord progression going into the outro has been used in many pop tunes. Hang On Sloopy by The McCoys comes to mind.
A woman later known as "Cher" was in that choir. Anyways this sound is forever linked to F-14s doing barrel rolls into the sunset...
Another B-E-A-U-T-I-F-L reaction. Bobby's tenor and Bill's baritone complimented each other so well. Yes, they had so many songs well worth checking out. I'm an old fart, 70, so I was around for so many great artists that you have never heard. My limited income doesn't allow me to sponsor a song, but I want to recommend a few for you to check out when you have time. Solo artist Bobby Vinton - Mr. Lonely, Blue Velvet, Roses Are Red... Groupe that defined an era, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons too many songs to list, Rag Doll, Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry, the movie Jersy Boys directed by Clint Eastwood, is a pretty accurate biography, and worth watching.
Some blue eyed soul!!! LOVE IT!!!!
RE the little bass riff, Phil Spector ripped it off from "Hang On Sloopy" 1964 for "Loving Feeling" and then it was borrowed for the song "Summer Nights" (Grease) 1978.
I think all of us Bobby Hatfield fans would like you to see and hear Bobby's live version of Summertime, from their Something Special tv show. Bobby taught himself to sing from records. I personally love their live rendition of I Need Your Loving Everyday. They were the regular featured act on Shindig; it was always live, often songs they never otherwise recorded.
Have to agree with you on that . “Summertime “ is stunning
Bobby was a music major in college. He is formally trained. You don't achieve his level of virtuosity (breath control, phrasing, dynamics, etc.) by just listening to records.
@@catherinelw9365..I am not a singer but know how they are trained, ..
This was “our song” with my High School sweetheart, we were married, 17 years. Always thought the words were strange to fall in love to, but hey no better song to slow dance to.
Heard these guys in college in the mid 70's. They were a joy to see live and the harmonies were as sweet live as they were on vinyl!
Another one of the The Righteous Brother's: Heart and Soul Inspiration
Was hoping you'd react to this. One of my favorite blue eyes soul singer songs. Bill Medley(the deep voiced one) also sang Time of My Life with Jennifer Warren too.
More Righteous Brothers! ‘Ebb Tide’. ‘Soul and Inspiration’. ‘Go Ahead and Cry’…..
When Phil Spector first brought them this song, Bobby was a bit miffed and asked, "What am I supposed to do when Medley's singin' this song?" and Spector replied, "Go to the bank." I do enjoy many of your reactions and I was excited to see you were doing this song. But I had to bail out on this one when you got into the Summer Lovin' side track. And this isn't about you specifically, but I really wish people wouldn't compare them to Elvis all the time. (I get that he's a big deal and I respect his place in music history, but I never liked his singing.)
Same here. This was my first reaction of hers I didn't watch until the end. It seems the original sponsor wanted her to do this song to show the other "Brother," Bill, being showcased and then she proceeded to sing over Bill almost every time, paying attention only to Bobby's part. She even rewound multiple times to show something Bobby did while ignoring what Bill was doing.
@@jasonsmith9147 Exactly spot on! She was actually making fun of Bill's beautiful voice. WHY? He is the lead singer in this song and his low alto voice is so soulful and beautiful I think he is amazing! So she is completely ignoring the lead singers voice in this song? Just weird and very biased.
Elvis could sing.
@@Rhiannon011 Alto is the lowest female voice. Bill is a baritone. But, yeah, I am a HUGE Bobby fan, but Bill is indeed very good, too. He should be listened to.
@@stanleyrichiii4474 I didn't say he couldn't. I said I didn't like his sing[ng.
When you hit that high falsetto note you got my dog's attention.😅
If you want to see Bobby do more of this you should see him sing "Summertime".
Thank you for another wonderful reaction Maggie.....I just love how much you get into the songs.
I wore out that "45" back then, I was 8 years old, literally a lifetime ago. Thanks for the memory! ❤
Maggie I just love your comments. A person who can explain the notes & nuances of the voices,
I grew up listening to these two…sensational talent! ❤️❤️❤️
Such a great classic song by them! Love hearing more of these! Fantastic!
I love the spontaneous demos of the different voicing techniques. I can hear the difference. A little bit of effortless opera education. I've got very little musical talent, but so I can't hold my pitch, but fortunately for others I can tell that I can't hold my pitch. I'm always impressed by people who can just casually do vocal riffs and technical demonstrations like you can.
However I do have a two tone yawn/sigh that I seem to have inherited from my father. So I can harmonize with myself, but only if I'm expressing fatigue or resignation. I've never really tried to reproduce it at will. Sometimes I claim I'm part Wookie.
I worked on the old Speak and Spell style speech synthesis, and we had to edit the synthesis by hand, so we had speech experts around. There was one linguist with a PhD who had done her thesis on a woman who could sing 3 notes at the same time. Although my favorite editor was the speech therapist with perfect pitch.
So I have a weird sort of mathematical perception on vocal production. Some of my colleagues did research on an electronic vox humana. The analyzed lots of singers and told me that lots of great singers do their vibrato so that their pitch is an exact multiple of the vibrato frequency. This sort of blows my mind.
That is the best explanation I have ever heard oh a head voice!! I finally get it thanks!😁
Superstar Elvis Presley was actually friends with the relatively, unknown Bill Medley (the baritone/bass) so there is a connection there. Elvis later covered "Unchained Melody" by the countertenor half Bobby Hatfield.
If you’ve never heard this before, that means you’ve never seen Top Gun! My favorite movie! You gotta watch Top Gun!
It was in Ghost
Top Gun featured You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
Woops….you already did “Unchained Melody”….beautiful song no doubt ❤️❤️❤️
YESSSSSSS
SO GOOD
Love The Righteous Brothers
And just for my second time watching you and your vid. ( yes first was unchained melody) lol I love you too.
You are so fun to watch, Maggie! Your expressions, your face, your words, your everything. Never heard the song before, or this band (woops, sorry), but it just doesn`t matter when it`s presented in a box of nice chocolate 😊 This was fun! Thanks, Maggie 😊
The Righteous Brothers bass line came about 15 years earlier than the Grease bass line.
Love hearing them sing....
"Is that Bobby now?" LOL
As a older gentleman I was around when this song first came out and I loved it then and I love it now. I am amazed by some of the commenters . To listen to people who are hearing this song for the first time to me is a little strange. There are a lot of bands from the Golden age of music. I have been honored to be able to say that I heard it for the first time back when it was new. I find that most people do not have the training that I have had.
I really appreciate your reactions. I know I'm late to this reaction but one of my favorites!
OMG!! I said that a few times and you are the first one to mention it!!
Maggie if you haven't yet you need to hear Bobby sing Ebb Tide! Another great example of him and his beautiful voice!!!
They are one of the best or thee best duos ever. This was out in 64, Summer Night(cool tune probably 78) Had many great songs:. For once in my Life(similar to this), Little Latin Lupe Lu, Ebb tide. They were on "fire" doing Night time is the Right Time. What even made this song better is legendary record producers Phil Spectors "wall of sound". Keep up the good work, yr very knowledgeable. I'm a music historian so I much appreciate.
You should do Soul and Inspiration from them too. Love the Righteous Brothers. Thanks for the reaction!
Unchained Melody should be next. You’d get the mega-feels with that one ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great duet and hit sound is Soul and Inspiration.
Love your insight and EDUCATION.
A Movie Classic is 'Top Gun' and 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling' charted for the second time in a new generation for that song. Bill Medley also sang with Jennifer Warnes for the movie, 'Dirty Dancing' with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey's last dance ending the movie. CLASS ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH REAL TALENT.
Really enjoy your professional opinon and education as there aren't many people very well versed with Opera throughout the country and it's a very challenging profession to excel with. Can't sing it myself; but genuinely appreciate those who can.
still amazing after all these years.....great job as usual Maggie :)
I understand that this song was played more than any other song on the radio during the 20th century. Bobby Hatfield was 24 years old when this was recorded.
They called The Righteous Brothers' style of singing blue-eyed soul. On another note, have you ever heard of Jose Jose, the Mexican crooner? Check out his performance of El Triste and be amazed. His father was an opera singer and his mother a classically trained pianist, so something of his parents rubbed off on his incredible voice which abounds in lots of interesting vocal techniques.
I’m just seeing your reaction to timeless classic. This song was not going to be published because it was thought at the time too long. The Righous brothers wanted but record label said no. Later they were putting out another song and they needed a song for the “b” side so they agreed to use this song. It became their biggest hit ever and as of a few years ago it still held the record for best selling song ever.
Grease was part of a big 50s-nostalgia trend in the 1970s. The "tribute" songs in Grease (a live-stage and later a movie musical) were all original, in the style of the 1950s but written circa 1975. (Many 50s-era artists made comebacks in the 70s--at least their music did, in movies such as American Grafitti and the work of R&R revival bands.) I'm a 67-year-old with a love for the music my parents heard as teens. This song is a classic. (I've been spending the last several days listening to old-song reaction videos on UA-cam; increased nostalgia seems to be part of getting old, at least for me. I work alongside younger people who have never heard of this stuff.) Thanks. The Righteous Brothers were amazing!
Amazing as always. So glad I subscribed
Thanks for your comments! 🥰 Can't wait to see you in the chats shortly! 💟
I swear I could watch you grooving to music all day long.
Grease was a tribute to singing group pop from the 50's and 60's so "stealing" a recognizable riff made sense, the score is probably full of them.
Thank you!! 😁 Can't wait to see you tomorrow at "Stump Maggie" Channel Member Livestream.💖
You regularly say you love that old timey style songs and singing, so i suggest, as i am sure others have, that you say "Hey Siri, play 'You've lost that Lovin' feeling'".
If you have Airplay or similar on your phone, you will hear similar songs after that song plays and a whole new world will be open to you.
Just listen to it in the background as you do jobs around the house. Love your reactions and perspective.
A bit of trivia: One of the back-up singers for this performance was a young Cherilyn "Cher" Sarkisian.
Maggie: React to the Righteous Brothers song Ebb Tide (1965) Enjoy, little lady!
Audio only, there's a Bobby impersonator video out there but not the real thing.
“Summer Lovin in “Grease” was 10 years after this was recorded though
Righteous Brothers: Soul and Inspiration
As a karaoke specialist, I knew all of this, of course. 🙄 But honestly, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to take us through what you here. Love your content
With the present lack of talent in many music genre (you're not included Maggie), the Righteous Brothers shine more than ever!
That is very smooth how you called that ..
When you reviewed Unchained Melody you read a bit about the Righteous Bros. that said they were sometimes referred to as "Blue-eyed Soul". This is why.
You do always try to harmonize. That makes you a KEEPER! Love u
They were great
You need to listen to Bobby Hatfield sing Ebb Tide. This was known as Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. One of the backup singers was a 16 year old Cher.....yes, that Cher. Also, check out their performance of You'll Never Walk Alone from The Ed Sullivan Show. The Righteous Brothers recorded this song a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time before Grease was even a thought.
They are great. On the ED SULLIVAN SHOW they do You'll Never Walk Alone. A FANTASTIC VERSION
This was the most radio played song of the twentieth century. Look it up.
This was the most requested song to radio stations in the 20th century. When they recorded the song they had a very young teenage back up singer named Cher in the group. I wonder what happened to her. 😎 Oh, and Bill is 6’8-9” and Bobby was 6’4-5”.
Bill is 6'3" and Bobby was 5'8" 😊
Maggie, I am surprised that you asked if this song or Grease came out first. You are extremely smart and very quick on the uptake so even if you did not know the exact dates you certainly had many clues that the Righteous Brothers were well before Grease. Dates were 1964 for this song versus 1978 for Grease.
Maggie,
Are you extra today???? This is their song that everyone knows... When I was a youngster this tune got a lot of radio play time..... And now you know why! If they were still around, you could be one of their background singers.... What a cool job that would have been?!!!! This song was in the first Top Gun movie. That song was from Grease..... Get yourself ready -- Bobbie is getting ready to bust it out vocally..... These two just had a boat load of talent...... !!!!!! You also have loads of talent!!!! I adore your channel. AND I love you. I am old enough to be your dad. BUT, I must tell you thanks a lot. You are special too....
I didn't know about the different voice placements. cool
How could you of not heard it? I am 60 and remember it from my youngest years.
As a musician myself, I greatly appreciate your fundamentally well educated and informed approach. Your are as expressive as other reviewers, but you can deliniate your viewpoints so well.
❤️ Learned to dance to Beach music, listening to songs like this in the 60's.
Great voice Girl 😎 You got talent for sure ✌️💜
An interesting and little known trivia fact is Cher was a member of the backup choir.
LOL, OMG, now I want to hear you react to the grease musical!! :)
Maggie you might want to listen to them sing You'll Never Walk Alone. Bobby hits some serious high notes in that one!
You should check out their song “Soul & Inspiration” next!
Bill Medley has a naturally dark tone to his voice even when. speaking. I have the same essential range that he does but my voice has a naturally brighter tone so produces a different effect.
Ebb Tide is another good one from The Rghteous Brothers. Unchained Melody, Ebb Tide, You'll Never Walk Alone, where three songs The Righteous Brothers recorded that were inspired by the recordings of the great Roy Hamilton about 10 years earlier. You should check out Roy Hamilton.
Swooning all over again, like when I first heard it
That Song was part of thr Frist movie Top Gun, with Tom Cruise. That part is being in the bar
I've never heard of Austin, but now I have to check him out.
How's my girl doing been following some of the things you beendoing lots of fun I am watching you now with the righteous Brothers. They have always my favorite ❤💓♥💕when I was your age thanks by by
You explain things so well. I can even get it ;)
Bill of the Righteous Brothers sang a duet with Jennifer Warrens in the 70's that was huge. You should check it out
