![FIRST TIME HEARING The Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TKu0NB8zbL8/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm a 77 yr old black man, born and raise in New Orleans. Everybody in my world heard the Righteous Brothers on the radio. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was their first big hit. We all assumed that they were black. The only way you could see them would have been on an album jacket. Only gradually did the word get out that they were not black. Most, in my world, could not believe it. Gradually we all knew, but we were still amazed.
It's OK. Until they had those time life records, or cassettes, 8 tracks, or dvds, showing the actual people, I got all kinds of races and sexes wrong. But music crosses the barriers.
@@impossibledrms True. But the shock of their color was a bit more electric because of the times: the 'mid 60's. Jim Crow mentality (not yet dead) not only split the races, it made blacks cling tightly to the things that, we felt, defined us e.g. our distinct musical sound. Otherwise we were made invisible.
I first heard this in the 80s when I was a kid, which was right around the time of the milli vanilli lip sync scandal and the C&C music factory video where they replaced the big woman with a skinny woman. All that to say that at the time, the ol' switcheroos weren't uncommon. I spent the next decade or so convinced that the righteous brothers were actually black, and the white guys were the "place holders" lol.
Sam Cook sang this song as well prior to the Righteous Brothers. He had a voice like silk. So many great singers covered that song since the late 40s or early 50s, such a classic.
Billy Cawdwell threw me for a loop
No auto-tune, no synthesizers, and sang on live broadcast television. Talent.
Absolutely! I also like the fact that Bobby holds the microphone at a distance - shows how naturally powerful his voice is !
❤️❤️❤️
Precisely!
Did not expect you guys to react intelligently typical
Pure talent ♥️
Pure talent. No autotune. No synthesizers. Nothing but just his voice. Simply amazing.
This is called "Blue-eyed soul." Unbelievably beautiful and soulful music from the 60s came in black and white, my brothers. Thank you for being open to music from back in our day.
70 yr old African American female born in New Orleans. Loved the Righteous Brothers songs then and now, it didn’t matter to me what color they were. It was all about the music.😊
That's the way it should be.
This song was playing during one of the MANY, MANY powerful moments in The Wonder Years with Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper. Man that show was so good in the 80's and 90's
💜🙏🏻🕊️💯💯💯💯🎵🎼🎵🎶
Music have all the colours of the world..
best response !
Guys, he was singing live in front of his parents for the first time. And he was also sick but did this incredible performance anyway.
It's 2 of them and they're not brothers.
@@patriciamissie8763 This performance is just him, and everyone knows they weren't really brothers.
Unbelievable. Thanks for providing this context.
Yes he sounds nasally congested.
Guys talking all thru it except for guy on right.
I’m a 74 year old white guy,my Father was a Band Leader and vocalist, he absolutely worshiped 2 people in the world, Nat King Cole and Bobby Hatfield.
I love Bobby H, amazing!
There is no greater music than the 50's- 80's.
I made sure my kids growing up listened to all kinds of music. I wanted them to know modern music wasn't the only music. They have a great appreciation for many genre's. ❤
I'm a 66 year-old white lady who used to fall asleep to AM radio as a kid, listening to music like this, and Sam Cooke.
Thanks for reacting to this.
Livia, like you, Sam Cooke still evokes the old feelings, memories and a smile. @@liviia305
Im well over eighty years old and this sound still brings tears to my eyes!
Actually Al Hibbler was the original artist that made Unchained Melody a hit!
I am fortunate enough to have his recording still!
Lucky girl!
The 1st singer of the song was Todd Duncan it was for a movie of the same name in 1955
@@tomcherry7029 interesting. If you go on Google you can hear Al Hibbler’s recording.
It’s fantastic.
I'm 26 and it makes me tear up
Also, Roy Hamilton had a nice version....
This was back when all a singer had was his/her voice. No help. True talent. Solid and pure.
Absolutely! Plus, they could perform their music live, no lip syncing. 😸👍
Yes….no auto-tune. Pure talent. We just don’t have it nowadays.
Also listen to Al Hibbler who I believe recorded the song in 1955.
To the point your comment.
Preach it!!!
That was Bobby Hatfield. No auto tune, no earpiece, live performance in theater, 20,000,000 people watching on TV one shot at it. And he nailed it. He’s passed on now.
One of the top 5 voices since the 1950s
A performer could not nail a live performance without any voice manipulation any better than this. This is perfection.
@@krismikewill Bobby was tense and worried because he was just coming off a bad chest cold and his mom and dad were in the audience. Back then, devotion to the craft and to your audience were holy things in blues and soul. The same reverance for whatever music does in the body heart and mind was carried from gospel to 'the devil's music'. Devil or no, there were so many times when voices like this kept me sane and safe - often from myself.
Wow just wow!!
He’s singing with the Angels now. One of the most amazing singers ever born. The fact that’s he is singing live is beyond belief!
Not beyond belief to me. What a lot of people don't realize is that music takes thousands and thousands of hours of practice. Put that in, have a decent talent to begin with, and you too will sing live in ways that move people-- without a ton of equipment, just voice and maybe a mic. It's how music is made.
This is the perfect example of timeless music. This was recorded over 50 years ago. Love it.
Me too. I was introduced to the RB by my Mum. Thank you Mum 😍
I am a South African women of Indian descent, this was my father's favorite song. He dedicated it to my mom. They were married for 57 years. My father passed away 2 weeks ago. Miss him much 💔
So very sorry.
@@trudyjohns5150 thankyou💖
Many sympathies.
God Bless Him and you for your loss.
🙏🏽💗
Talent has no color. You either have it or you don't....the righteous brothers have it. This is a pure live voice recorded live, no production....the guy has an amazing voice.
AMEN!
Amen❤😊
Agreed100 👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥
ABSOLUTELY...TALENT HAS NO BOUNDARIES!!!
Facts
Hey guys, thanks so much for this. My husband of 28 years just suddenly passed away last Saturday and this was one of our favorite songs. So, of course I cried but just watching y’all made me smile and laugh again! God bless you all, love ya!
So sorry! I am glad you have happy memories!
Aw, I'm sorry for your loss, but it was nice to read about a long-lasting marriage & love shared for so many years. I am happy that you have the music to bring your husbands memory alive. Sending you hugs.
❤❤❤
Mein Beileid😢, mein Mann starb 6/1991 mit 30 Jahren😢
Sorry for your loss my friend 🙏
What vocal range! OMG...gives me chills.
Y'all are killing me!! "No auto tune with this. Just a man and a microphone!" 😂 Yeah, back in the day you HAD to have a voice to sing. 🤣
Funny huh! In this day and age most only can sing with auto tune 🤣.
Hahaha. Zackley!
I remember when MTV started Unplugged shortly after the Milli Vanilli scandal. That show really tested a lot of mettle. I wish someone would bring that back.
Church and school everyone sang every day back then.
@@gritnixdo you ever kinda feel for Milli Vanilli ?? They were crucified and their lives ruined to the point one committed suicide if I remember right.
And you know they were the lowly little kids music execs who used then made the calls.
Fast forward 2000’s and few word changes (backing tracks etc) They stole Ashanti’s voice for JLo, no one sings even “live” in live performances.
He smiled at the end of the song because his parents were in the audience watching him sing this. 🎶♥️
Thanks for that little bit of info made me smile as well
You guys are just fun. Time for you to listen to Roy Orbison’s Crying.
And because he FUCKING NAILED IT
@@MM-ex4ggYes. Nailed it, knew he nailed it, and remained humble on stage.
And because he owned this song even with a terrible head throat n chest cold🤣🔥👍
I’m glad y’all heard this banger finally. The music from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s are phenomenal
This song was in a movie. The movie was called “Ghost” with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. It’s from a love scene and became a hit again nearly 30 yrs after it came out due to that film. 😊
Who else listened to this just waiting for their reaction when he hit that high note? Love this!
I sure did. Some singing back in the day. By the way I'm also an 76yrs old golden oldie😘
Yes!! Me, too. Loved their reactions.
👍👍👍 Exactly! A white man hitting the soprano range. I really like the black 76 year old (in this comment section) who talks about how frequently artists were mistaken for the wrong race! A new artist would play on the radio for months before wed see them on Solid Gold or the Midnight Special. And we didnt always get to see them on an album cover, much less buy another album every time a new artist debuted on the radio
Chuck Barry, Alicia Bridges, & Amii Stewart were the ones a got TOTALLY wrong until I saw them on TV back then. Also Johnny Mathis, when I was still small- - about 8 years old
Back then there was only the lead singer of the Temptations & one other black singer who was widely known as a true male soprano. (Sorry, I cant remember which singing group he was in. The Marvels, the Emotions, or something like that)
White men were definitely NOT expected to be as soulful as Bobby Hatfield, Paul Davis, & Tom Johnston
I did. The one on the right seemed unimpressed, and I was thinking 'wait til Bobby goes into that falsetto...that'll get him'. And it did
Hahaha riiight??! 💗🎉
My Dad Bradley (just passed a week ago), loved this band. He thought they were black, he showed up at their concert and was completely shocked to see a band of white guys. I played this for him the day before he died, although he couldn't communicate, he moved his foot, all of us around him laughed at his story. RIP Bradley Woodington ❤
If there’s a “Rock and Roll Heaven “ you know they’ve got a hell of a band.
@@Cookie54ize Great song.
Amy, may you find peace and solace in beautiful memories. The power of music is boundless.
I'm so glad you played it for your Dad, Amy.
As my mother was dying, I played old gospel piano music for her as a soothing backdrop to everything that was going on. I made sure to choose a piano style that was just like hers.
She couldn't communicate the last several days, either, but she'd squeeze my hand so tight - so I knew she was completely aware, and I spoke to her as normal.
Sorry for your loss - please accept my condolences.
I know it's still too fresh for you to have finished grieving your Dad.
I pray you'll have a very healthy & healing grief process.
God Bless you and yours.💖✨
@Cookie54ize Lucifer was choir director in heaven before he was cast to Earth. Aleister Crowley was idolized by many rock stars, including Bowie who said, "Rock has always been the Devil’s music…I believe rock’n’roll is dangerous. I feel we’re only heralding something even darker than ourselves.”
This was my husband's and my first dance as husband and wife. He just passed away it was very traumatic. This song was written for us. It was so nice tto hear but i cried through the whole song, its just too beautiful. Just like my husband Ray was too wonderful, beautiful and my life will never be the same. I love you Ray my sweet sweet prince!!! Aug. 31, 2023 This was our song this was how we both felt about each other,😢
My husband passed 1 year and a day af my father passed. It's been the worst. My soulmate of 37 yrs. I am beyond traumatized. My husband was my life and I was his. We talkedb about every topic under the sun. And we were best friends. Unchained melody was the song for us. We did wait a long time bf we got married it was the happiest day of our lives. I miss him so much that it hurts to breathe. Can't sleep, eat, nothing. Have no interest in anything I just want to be with him again, I miss him so much he was my life. Feels like my heart and soul were ripped torn fr my body. I've had a pain in my chest since the second Ray passed, heart is shattered toa trillion pieces and can never be repaired. There was only one person in the whole world for me there will be no one else, you only get one soulmate and so grateful to God for him and for us to have been together for 37 yrs, not many people get this in life we were lucky enough to have a lifetime together,most people don't get to have that, so I'm very grateful to God for that, it's just that we wanted to grow old together. I'm sure neither of us thought that it would be so soon. And making the pain worse, my daddy and I were very close, I'm an only child, just me. And I was daddy's little girl till the day he passed. I didn't have time to grieve for my daddy cause it was too hard, I've Always Been terrified of losing my Daddy and Mommy, so I had to pushed all the pain down in to the back of my mind as was . Time to deal with at a later date cause it's just to fresh and raw. Then the day af the one yr anniversary of my Daddy passing , my husband passed in my arms at 55 yrs old, natural causes. It was very traumatic to me, and it has only gotten worse instead of better. Nothing will ever be better for me. I Love him for eternity and miss him desperately until we meet again, and we will I know that as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow..
Rarely does a life shine so brightly🌟 How lovely that you and your husband were, and are always, so much in love. The world needs so much more of a love like that.
Thank you for your very kind words they made me smile and touched my heart so much, thank you. It's very hard to even breathe right now. @@mindiification
@@neatadair4303I’m so sorry for your grief. Your life sounds so sorrowful; but rest assured, you will one day be greeted by your parents and your loving husband never to be separated again. Bless you, my dear.
Mine and my wife’s song too. We’re an English couple who married in Lake Tahoe of all places. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m a Ray too and I just hope my wife loves me as much as you obviously loved your Ray. God Bless.
Being an 84-year-old black woman every house party I attended and we had some house parties in those days We had the righteous Brothers on with everybody else
It’s not just the beauty of his voice but how effortless it is. No drama, no contortions, just pure talent without even breaking a sweat.
Absolutely!
There's plenty of drama and contortions... what are you talking bout? Guess the question is what is your definition of drama and contortions? You mean a boring performance? Him standing still? I'm sure he didn't have rhythm so trying to move would throw him and everything off.
@@empoweryouwellnessandtarot so do you think he should be twerking in spandex so he’s not so “boring”? Or maybe have a giant projection of the Grand Canyon or the lunar surface or the Taj Mahal behind him so we have something interesting to look at because his voice isn’t enough?
@@davidserlin8097 most ppl you find on the internet have brain worms. safe to just ignore these. good comment. a huge number of vocal experts have expressed the same assessment youre making, so youre in good company. the 'wellness and tarot' brain worm infested npc responding to you is not.
Best of all, no one simulating sex anywhere around him. Imagine that.
Guys, this was when the voice was an instrument...real singing. Your grandparent's generation was cooler than you thought. Love your reactions to his talent. You brought a smile to this old lady.
That's so true, voices & words meant inspiration!!
@@MicheleElysMer Absolutely and don’t forget “The Beat!” As long as we could dance to it, then it was a big hit! Such good times!
Watch Ghost.
the lead did I had the time of my life from dirty dancing of course we all new that
The most forever outstanding quality of Bobby's performance is how that on paper, this song is a ballad. But with his gifts, Bobby transforms what is already a beautiful song into practically an _OPERATIC AURIA._ No one among our general population even knows what an auria is anymore. Someone with diversified musical experience such as Simon Cowell, Alicia Keys, Elton John. Sure, they could define an auria for you exactly. Maybe even Bruno Mars. But not everyday people like you & me
Our younger generation is starved of the experience of a live opera. Sure, Italian Opera becomes a turnoff after too long because you have no idea what the song is about. But its so refreshing to hear an artist (or a composer) who takes the time to translate an opera into English. Even still, you would have to reach back to recordings from the time of Enrico Caruso & Marion Anderson to hear true aurias. And I must admit I am too out of touch with the orchestral & operatic world of today to know about anyone who performs them now. Operas? Thats easy to look up. But present-day opera singers who perform actual aurias? Not so convenient to find. Good luck!
Its just so heartachingly unusual now. I took for granted that someone on PBS would put on an Italian opera, sung in English, back in the 80's. But 35 years later I cant remember what songs of what operas, or what artists performed. At least we still have the legacy of NYC's Metropolitan Opera & its videotaped performances, sung in Italian with English subtitles
The only other pop hit my tired mind can think of at this late hour is Amii Stewart's _Knock On Wood._ And its more _soulful_ than it is _auriatic._ Amii sustains soprano heights a couple of times, but she doesnt perform an auria like Bobby does here, each time he leads up to & during the climax of his refrain "I need your love/ Oh, I need your love/ God speed your love to me." Thats twice he hits the soprano range & pulls off an auria while up there. And then he hits an auria a third time at the conclusion of his song
Pure talent. He didn't even strain at all. Beautiful voice and song.
I was a teenager in 1965 (15) and when "Unchained Melody" came out the Girls were just absolutely (Crying) over this song. Bobby Hatfield had a range of octaves that was sensational. The Righteous Brothers had (2) songs that melted everybody's Heart.
"Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost that Loving Feeling"
I danced at a wedding with my mother to this song. She had dementia, and didn't know much about what was going on in the world, at that time. She just smiled and smiled. And I fought back tears the whole time. I'm in tears as I write this, as I am every time I hear this song. Sometimes the love you are missing isn't a romantic love. Mom died in 2018. 93 years old.
It's so hard losing people we love no matter how "prepared" we think
we are for their passing. My mom is 87-88 and she has dementia too.
I'm not looking forward to the stage in my life when she is no longer
here. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@Pepper-rn4hh I'm sorry for what you're going thru. Dementia diseases have to be the worst, because it's like we lose our loved one while they are still with us. My mom stayed relatively healthy physically until the last year, but she couldn't remember anything, not even from one minute earlier. She had a brain bleed in the end, that caused her death. Same thing that happened to her mother, and probably the same that will happen to me. I'm 60, and already experiencing signs that I will have dementia.
I lost mom in 2019. She was 89.
I sure lost a great friend. Of course she was my mother. I tried to prepare myself for that. But our friendship...missing that..it kind of blindsided me. Good memories of you and mom. I wish that for you.
@@gregorywebster6640 I'm sorry for your loss. We all have to go thru this at some point. Keep those memories alive in your thoughts. Our mothers are wonderful beings! 💞
My mom has dementia. She lives with me and my husband. She didn't know it was my birthday today. When my husband told her she tried to remember the words to a traditional Spanish song. She couldn't remember the words so I put a video on of it and she sang along. For a few minutes I had my mother back. There are many kinds of love and losing a parent is so very hard
My mother use to be a back up singer with them. Crazy after all these years people dig their songs. Love you guys, FROM TEXAS
She must have some awesome stories.
Their talent is timeless.
and their songs, too. @@marilynluster
Good sounds ,always transcend time .
People shouldn't just dig this song, they should be keeping it in their keepsakes, because this is one of those songs that needs to live forever
Watching you guys was so enjoyable; discovering the talent that has been around for ages! Yes, he had a voice on him!
everytime my mamaw was mad at my papaw, he would sing this loud as hell. I am glad yall enjoyed this. righteous brothers is a staple
Oh, I love your comment. I am envisioning this in my head. Sounds like your papa was a smart & fun man.
@@private-jet-rental he was one of a kind, only way to put it, thank you for your kind words
😂😂😂😂😂🎤
That's awesome! 👌
I am a 64 year old woman, this song is epic. So pleased to see a whole new generation experience the brutal talent of the Righteous Brothers.
Yes, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield are out of this world in terms of talent. Two of the greats.
Best slow dance song ever
This song always moves me to tears. So full of emotion
Luv "brutal talent"
It's weird how people like you keep posting your age lately. Is there a UA-cam plus three for people over sixty this weekend?
I love seeing our younger generation appreciate music from years past.
Yes, it's Great..
I work with a bunch of young millennials and zoomers at a fairly radical organization. They'll listen to new stuff, most of them obscure punk outfits or whatever the hell "orc core" is, but so many have deep respect and affection for the classics. My boss is obsessed with the Eagles as well as Taylor Swift. The janitorial lead is a fan of Lizzo, Destiny's Child, and the Four Seasons and doo wop in general. Yesterday I had a lively conversation about Traffic and Smith with someone much younger than 9/11. A 20 year old was intensely jealous that I got to meet members of Yes, The Zombies, and the Yardbirds. I have boomer parents but none of them do. The greats are great for a reason.
You had the good stuff
I grew up listening to this song, my mom loved it! Now you gotta watch the 90s movie Ghost. The scene with this song will give you CHILLS
I was looking for this comment. Love ghost and Patrick Swayze
Hands down the best rendition ever of this much covered song. It wasn't a Righteous Brothers original but Bobby Hatfield (he sang it solo despite it being credited to the RB) made this song his own. Nobody has come close to upping this performance 58 years on and probably never will.
True. I don't even like to hear anyone else sing it cause no one can beat Bobby on this song.
Blue-eyed soul at it’s perfection!!! His mother was in the audience and her first time hearing it and he was smiling cuz he nailed it!
True story :)
This song was always played at high school dances back in the 60s. There teachers would go around and make sure all the couples dancing were 6 inches apart.
@@u4riahsc plenty of room haha thats easily reachable..pow
He had a bad cold when he sung this. If you listen real close you can hear a tattletale nasally sound! He did nail it!!
Back when it was cool to show your mom is important. Now, they're gone with the wind
Guy in the back really seems to appreciate the brilliance of what he's hearing, the pureness of Bobby's voice and those effortless runs
He sure did.
He's my favorite! He moves with every feeling from each note just like I do! It was great to watch!
I thought that too 🤣🤣🇬🇧🇺🇸💕
Yeah, he’s always super precious and humble with his compliments!!
Righteous Brothers were nearly always played at school dances (Yes, I'm that old LOL)...I'm no musician but I believe that's called having an "8 Octave range".....excellent musical group.
Blue eyed soul. Can't beat it. I remember this playing on the radio in the 60's.
When Bobby Hatfield nervously went on that stage back in the mid-1960s, little did he know how famous this song would be or how many UA-camrs would react to and love his voice 60 years later 😊
There's a cute little interaction between Bobby & Billy on the Andy Williams show. Search it out.
His mom was in the crowd that night. He made her proud.🙂
I wants heard that it was the most played song in history. I don’t have any facts to back it up but I believe it
@@susanmcavoy9213 - I used to listen to Andy Williams all the time.
Oh, Bobby Hatfield. What a voice..One in a trillion.
Yes!!
My man laid down one of the greatest live televised performances in history in a salmon suit. I the luv the 70's
One of the most romantic songs ever written and performed. Gorgeous! True legends of their time.
"I can't hit that, he's different."
He most certainly was. One of the best vocal performances of all time.
Not only did the man have incredible range, and a sweet voice, but watch him hitting these notes. From his face, he might be discussing an uninteresting baseball game. There is no sign of strain, no clue that he is hitting notes that are outside of the vocal range of many women. And, there is no shakiness in the changes. An altogether amazing performance.
Yes, he makes it look so easy. Amazing!
I love him I love this song....
Outside my upper range at the end, that's for sure!
Amazing talent, sad today’s music is not the same or close to this
I am 73, and I am Thrilled that you guys are listening to the fabulous music from the past!😅😅😅
Back when music was appreciated by all… this is a timeless song that shows the top tier talent that may never be replicated..
I am 77. In 1965 I was flying for a major airline and on one of my flights they were the only two passengers onboard! They were soft spoken gentlemen! Such a favorite song!!
Wow!!! Omg you are so lucky
What an awesome memory 💗💗💗
Did they sing to you??
OMG no way!!!! What a life experience indeed. What Airline?? My dad flew for Eastern Airlines for 35 years. He finished his career in a B727 stretch.
Awesome, they moved STARS across the sky's
I knew toward the end homeboy hitting that high note would impress y’all. Dude is a fantastic singer.
Listen to Righteous Brothers sing I Believe
I did too. Gymnastics. They deserve so much respect.
@shockvalueracing Trump won't win in 2024, in fact he won't be a free man. I love it.
I grew up listening to all these types of artists. I loved and still love this song. So many amazing singers and musicians around that era
Not two of them on this song. Bobby Hatfield soloed on this, but he and Bill Medley comprised the Righteous Brothers. This songhad a resurgence when it was used in the Movie, "Ghost" (1990). "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" really shows off their soulful duo.
First time the phrase was coined-“blue-eyed soul.” And man, they were full of soul. Bill still with us. RIP Bobby.
He was SO nervous when he went on stage, because he was actually sick, and his mother was in the audience. And still, he NAILED IT.
First time his mother had ever seen him sing live. This MATTERED to him, more than just about any other performance in his life.
LOl he does look nervous but sounds epic, better than the studio
Whoa, serious? What could he, would he sound like were he NOT sick??
@@debramason1898 That part might be apocryphal. Every time someone has a great vocal performance, someone creates a backstory that they were sick at the time. I've seen this when David Draiman (Disturbed) sang 'Sound of SIlence" on Conan. It was also repeated when Hailey Reinhart sang "Creep" for Post Modern Jukebox.
@@kevinhenderson5928 my mom told me he was sick when she watched it. She passed in 96
Love that homey made a point to say no auto tune…amazing talent at its purest
When I hear this song I automatically think of my mother she love to sing and she was my first playmate being a only child I heard her singing in live and in death she singed to me
Such pure, raw talent! Notice that he doesn't need flashing lights, half naked dancers and special equipment....Just that God given talent...🙏
Definitely a man with talent and that elusive class! Thanks for your comment!!!
This song played a big part in the movie “Ghost” with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze (rip). This song gives all the feels!
One of my favorite Patrick swayze movie's ever loved the chemistry between Demi Moore Patrick swayze and woopie Goldberg dirty dancing is another good Patrick swayze movie
Idk Patrick Swayze died... Rip
@@etlarm5514 - a few years ago from pancreatic cancer. Very sad.
@@carolynnewcomb2153 ohhh.... The worst kinda Cancer
RIP🌹
Carolyn I loveeeee that movie, n my heart just broke when patrick passed..
That song has been making women drop their drawers for 6 decades. The singer was Bobby Hatfield and when he did this performance his mother and father were in the audience. He went all out. This is one of the epic live performances ever recorded.
Oh yes this song a few beers a hit of some pot and her clothes were definitely falling off
Men too!!
One of my all time favorite songs 🎵 ❤️ ♥️
😂😂😂👍
Why do you think girls were dropping their drawers in 1965. MOST girls DID NOT! It's not like nowadays.
As a 14 year old this set goose bumps down my arms and up my neck.
Still does. Now that’s a sign of greatness.
These 2 men were fabulous!!! His voice was wonderful!!!!!! America loved them!!!!
Unchained Melody was used in the movie "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and Whoopie Goldberg. Ghost was released in 1990. Good flick if you haven't seen it. Whoopie is a hoot, and won an Oscar for her role.
Whoopie wasn't originally considered for that role, but Patrick Swayze gave an ultimatum that he wouldn't do the movie without her in it. They complied and the rest is history.
Whoopi won the an Oscar for her role in Ghost because she should have won an Oscar for her role inThe Color Purple.
Yep
@@lorrainerussell4379 exactly. The Oscar for Ghost was plain silly. It was not an Oscar worthy role or performance.
@@lorrainerussell4379
I think you mix Whoopie with Oprah in that film..
These guys and that audience witnessed a vocal masterpiece.
That's what we lack now. I wish u could have seen so many artists like this live 🙏🏽🥰
I'm.from Chile and I have to say my parents know very well the righteous brothers,and this song particularly. It was a great hit here, and we still can hear it on the radio. Time does not go by for the good music. 🥇🥇👍
This song makes me tear up every time. My Mom and I watched the movie Ghost a few months after my Dad passed away. My Mama and I sobbed through this song as she had lost the love of her life and this song reflected their love! Phenomenal voice and iconic song!
I'm 71 now. When I was 17/18 a very dear friend told me how much she loved this.I bought the record(45vinyl😄) and invited her round to my mum and dad's house. Played it as a surprise! She absolutely loved it ❤️ We lost touch and found out recently she had passed away😢😢This is for you Joan❤️... Great review thankyou. Love from the UK x
You gotta watch the Righteous brothers.." you've lost that loving feeling"
They BOTH got some soulful singing voices!!
I love Unchained Melody but it's a distant second to You've Lost That Loving Feeling
The brothers harmony was outstanding.
Oh yea, I second this! Their voices give give you the chills. You feel that all down your backbone.
Yesssss!
Blue-eyed soul.
It is so refreshing seeing young people react to the older music when there was no cursing no F word no violence and they truly like the music it’s beautiful
This is one of the most famous duos ever! GUYS! People actually could sing and sing WELL, before you, or your parents, were ever born! This is Bobby Hatfield and his performance is the very best of anyones ever! There are two of them and Bill Medley is phenomenol also! Together they are dynomite! Bobby passed away from lung cancer in 2005! This song has been a major love song forever; in fact, it was the beautiful love song in the movie, "Ghost", with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore! Great SINGER!!! THANKS for reacting to it. These two guys, by the way, had some great SOUL SONGS! They are sooo famous! I cannot believe that you have NEVER heard of The Righteous Brothers! WOW! 😂
I love how our boy in the Stones shirt was just very chill until the very end when you could finally see the respect for the voice. Love seeing the next generation getting exposure to the classics.
Yep cool.
I figured he didn't much like it. Loved the two on the left!
Agree. He didn’t make any movement of show any emotion until he just couldn’t help it.
He was trying hard not to show it! Love them all
YES ❤️😻❤️ I loved watching their faces as the emotions developed. ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
No auto tune.......just flat out raw talent. The great Bobby Hatfield ❤
New law: Only TPain can use autotune. He's grandfathered in but then no more.
@@usmcchrisg lmao that made me chuckle
@@johnnyringo4899 People obviously can't police themselves on this.
Righteous Brothers were gems; crystal clear voices. Voices were beautiful!! The good old days ….
Watching the faces of these 4 young men was incredible! They went from mocking him, to surprise that he was so good, to disbelief, and finally to being stunned and open admiration! I watched this video 4 times! Amazing, honest reaction!!!
The studio version of Unchained Melody, in my opinion, is the greatest performance in the history of recorded music.
Strong agree
My dad used to sing at local bars. I lost him to pancreatic cancer when I was 21. He loved when I played this to him in the hospital. I'm now 55 going through an extremely rouhi time. You guys give me moments of joy in my day. I wish you peace and love.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you don't ever really "move on" or forget your parents, especially no matter how long ago. I lost my dad in 94 (I was 33) and my mom in 2010, my husband in 2012, and my only sibling, my brother the next year. My dad was a "country boy" (which I'm not) but this song was one of his favorites, and although I did love Elvis's rendition, too, I thought this was so amazing, seeing these young guys just enjoying the original version, no frills, and giving the guy his propers as Aretha would say!
Giving u love and hugging u God loves u honey
When parents depart, they never leave because they are in you.
I wish peace and love to you too !
Linda, sorry it's been a rough time for you, and hope it all has a happy ending. Listening to RBs is a great start. : O )
The guy in the back! He was feeling it! Lol for real no auto tune, that’s just pure talent.
Listen to You've Lost That Loving Feeling. In it you will hear the other's voice, which was magnificent, also. So deep.
I'm a blues, hard rock fan and I'll say this stands as the greatest solo live performance I've ever heard, hands down.
Listen to Elvis Presley's - If I can dream.
Really?? It was a little pitchy for me, dog. 😜 I mean compared to the recorded version that is. Too bad they couldn’t listen to that one. Stupid YT.
@@brantpam222 Pitchy? Pfft
And, that's no falsetto, just Bobby having an amazing range. Best song ever.
Best performance i'd say ☺️
That is falsetto. His falsetto is part of his vocal range. What's so impressive is how seamlessly he slips into it and how beautiful it sounds.
Yes, that is falsetto and it's great!
Yes. There are natural counter tenors.
@@zerores2005 Not falsetto, as a counter-tenor, it's his natural head voice. You need Barry Gibb for falsetto.
I’m 40 but grew up with oldies 104.3. Your my Soul and Inspiration has been the ringtone for my hubs. LOVE when the two brothers sang together.
Thanks for reviewing this Classic. No auto tune, no computer rigging just pure discipline and a love to enlighten the soul of others. Check out Karen Carpenter singing and playing drums at the same time.
Great reaction guys!!! I'm 70 years old, and this song still gives me goosebumps.
Same here. My older sister wore out that record while her fiance was in Vietnam.
I have the 78 still from my father, I'm in my 50s
God Bless you and Thank you for your service. 💞
I'm 43 and had whole body chills. Beautiful!!
For those that don't know, that smile at the end is for his mom in the audience. He hit the song perfect and was quite relived.
Love,love, love their reactions. Especially, the one in the back when he stood up and asked, “ Who is this guy ?! “ I’m in my 7th decade & when I was growing up music was everywhere: radio plugged in in the garage, stereo built like furniture in the play room, record players upstairs, even A.M radio in the car and a transistor radio for the beach ! And, we listened to it all. Bing Crosby to the Righteous Brothers to Elvis to Otis Redding to Linda Ronstadt to Carly Simon to Sly and the family stone, to Dolly Parton, the Beatles, to Willie Nelson, to B.B. King. ❤😄👏👏👏👏
I think everyone listening to all kinds of music gave us all more in common and brought us together. With all the “targeted” audiences today, we don’t get to appreciate the diversity of music.
When I was around ten years old I heard this song for the first time and immediately starting crying, as if an arrow hit my heart ❤
Love how the brother in the background not afraid to show on his face, body movements and Expressions the greatness he hears. These guys were talented. My time
Yes that was so cute!!
But "rolling stones" t shirt hardly changed his expression throughout maybe a cattle-prod might have done the trick! Lol
That guy makes me laugh. He is so expressive. "Who is this guy"? He shouts.
Absolutely love this video! Just shows how great soulful music can cross all generations! Love the appreciation shown for this great talent! Growing up in the '60's, this was my favorite music!Thanks for doing this ! Your expressions are priceless!!
Wait till you see them together.
You Lost That Loving Feeling. One of the best selling songs in the history of music.
YES!!!!
I cannot separate that one from Top Gun, of course...
Love "You Lost That Loving Feeling" but I actually love the way they harmonize on "Soul and Inspiration" even more.
yes, they need to watch that one and see both performing. :)
HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just hits the SOUL like no other. Ty R. B.
So happy the younger generation is finally researching some of the best music in my lifetime. No auto tune.
I love how these guys play everything from 60s to eminem. These dudes should be put up front for what america is. No racism, no bigotry and we all have a love for music. Thanks gentlemen. Live watching your reactions
These 4 brothers were noisy and distracting.
And no protestations of cultural appropriation. 👍
I agree. Plus they are fun to listen to and watch. I love their different personalities -- they compliment each other.
sadly though i was thinking and everyone else im sure was thinking they were going to say something about the dude been white. The dude front right seemed to be low key unimpressed because of idk (?)
@@safarijoejnr534 That's just how he is. lol
Yes, that is Bobby Hatfield. I like what the bro on the right said: Bobby has a voice from the Heavens, an angelic vocal cords. Live, no auto tune. This song with Bobby singing it is in the movie: "GHOST". RIP Bobby. x
You lads make my day. Funny, intelligent, love a good tune. Top guys 👍
you have to check out You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling , their biggest song
Absolute must! ❤️🔥
Bigger than unchained melody??
@@cavy83_73 yes, it’s the most played song of the 20th century
@@cavy83_73 it’s not he just wanted to sound cool
Definitely
I’m a 70 year old New Orleanian and vividly remember seeing them in concert. Unforgettable
Timeless.
Saw them in 1966 Orlando, Florida…amazing..tore the house down with “Little Latin Lupe Lou” (spelling?)
With Love from Russia!
I love watching you five guys react. I even get tickled at some of your remarks. All talk together like brothers!!!
Everytime I hear this song I am 14 again at home in my kitchen doing homework listening to the radio. I love this song!❤
An all-time favorite that I had played at my husband's funeral December 18, 2021. We were married 54 1/2 years, and I will always need his love; he is gone from this earth, but he holds my heart forever. 💕
Thank you for sharing this and appreciating The Righteous Brothers!
😢 a beautiful life you had together! Prayers, friend!!
I lost mine too I miss his love everyday. I'm lost without him but I'm making myself live if I can. One day we'll be together again! Prayers
God Bless you xx
Write with you dear lady. We was married 43 years. I always sang this to my husband. Don't make music like this anymore. And they're right nobody sings like this either.
Makes me want to cry
The "other brother" was playing piano! This was a solo song. They flipped a coin to see who would sing it (they often did that). Although it's a cover song, it went on to become Bobby's signature song. Many others covered it after him (including Elvis), but it remains Bobby's song to this day!
Voices that could give you pure chills. I miss old music like this. Pure talent.
Enjoyed the righteous “ brother” and watching you all interact and comment !😃
God bless you for choosing this audio. It brought tears to my eyes. Not only because the song is so special, but because 4 young men loved it so much in this uncertain world to share it. Thank you. ❤️🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸
It 'BRINGS BACK THAT LOVING FEELING'!
I feel your comment 100%. It's so good to see young people 'get' the music we grew up with and why it rocked our souls.
❤
This brings back so many good memories!
