    Honestly, I have heard many covers of this song and this is the first time ever I heard Bobby singing it. My God, I did not anticipate this at all. This is many levels above the rest of humanity. He did not kill it, he owns it eternally.

      Same response here. I’ve heard this song before but somehow had not discovered this version until recently. Bobby totally owns it, nothing else comes close.

      @@MrAbletospeak Pardon me. I was a teen when they were popular. Their music was called "Blue-eyed Soul" on the radio in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as by Black kids in my high school. It was a big deal. White guys doing runs when they sang to a two-four beat. Emoting, even. Soul.

      Well, this is, as we would say, paraphrasing the original. The original song comes from an OPERA, not a musical or a blues show. The song was a lullaby of a mother to a baby doomed by fate to be orphaned.

      It's a record but not a video but I agree, you'll want to hear Bill Medley's blues solo of "I Want To Make Love To You" (You'll hear Bobby comes in during the chorus). It's on🔥. Also you should hear the record solo of Bobby singing "Ebb Tide". It's a ballad but his incredible voice makes you feel the emotion in the song like you are being swept in and out with the tide. Another old b/w louder finale video from Shindig TV show I like is both of the Righteous Brothers singing "Bring It On Home To Me"

    I never get tired of listening to Bobby Hatfield singing that song and Unchained Melody you have to hear that too unless you've already played it. The tall guy Bill Medley was not his real brother but Brothers in a sense very good friends. Bill had that deep voice and Bobby had that Alto guess that's what you call it he died very young and he's 60s in 2007 rest in peace Bobby. So I was young when they were singing of course they were young too I'm 89 years old I know you'll think oh wow good reaction thanks.
