    Blue eyed soul....this is what it was called. Tom Jones also did a little of this. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, the Righteous Brothers were the greatest, the best.

    As an African American growing up in the 60s and onward, I really appreciated the artists of the day, Black and White, from James Brown to The Beach Boys. But, I appreciate them even more now. I listen to all the Oldies on Sirius XM from even the 50s which was a little ahead of my time, as far as music appreciation. It's fun to see the reactions of younger people to music and artists that we almost took for granted, there were so many of them. I hope you'll checkout Something's Got a Hold on Me",by Etta James and "Hurt So Bad", by Little Anthony and the Imperials. Both live performances are on the Tube.

    I sang this to my wife at our wedding in 1983. She, however she said I murdered it. I'm guessing it's not a song for a baritone, she told me I was of better sticking to my drumming. I thought it was an appropriate song as I was in the Royal Marine Commandos, I had returned from the war for the Falkland Islands when I proposed, and now was shipping out to Sierra Leone two days later, so much for my attempt at being romantic. On the upside she liked me in my Dress Uniform, and having my comrades forming the sword tunnel helped.
    I must have done something write because we're still together and she still puts up with my singing. With 4 children and 7 grandchildren, we got busy on 3 of our baby's when I was home, we adopted the young afghan woman and her 2 daughters at the end of 2015 after they saved my life in Afghanistan (a story for another time), and we are so much better for having them, we love all our family and that is our strength. I served my Queen and Country for 34 years in the Royal Marine Commandos and later in the British Special Forces, and then 2 years in hospital, and she stuck by me even though I'm mainly wheelchair bound now. We do actually have a song by Queen called "Your Me Best Friend", a very apt song as she has been my best friend since we were both 15.

    Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of there albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do Unchained, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we now. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.

    The song was written for a 1955 movie called Unchained, about a guy in prison who couldn’t wait to get back to his girl. The guy who wrote the lyrics refused to put any of that stuff into the song so it became a general love song, sung by many before the Righteous Brothers did it .. but nobody else did it like this, altho many other singers covered the song later (including Elvis) and based their versions of it on this version by The Righteous Brothers ... It is a solo song, but the Righteous Brothers were a duo so they flipped a coin to see who was going to do it, and Bobby Hatfield won. The other member of the duo was Bill Medley who arranged the music for the studio version as well as for this performance AND he played piano while Bobby was singing .. so it was still a team effort. Bobby sang another version for the movie “Ghost “ and this revived interest in the 1965 version (this one) which was then re-released. The Righteous Brothers and this song made history by having two different versions of the same song in the Top20 of the charts at the same time, competing against each other!

    Bobby was 24 yrs old here. The song is about a man in prison writing to his wife. He’s asking if she still loves him and would she be waiting for him when he is unchained from his prison. The time goes by so slowly for him and it changes people.
    Bobby’s mother was in the audience for this performance.

    Ghost. That was not this version. That was his studio version. This was an appearance on The Andy a Williams Show. The arrangement is different, especially at the end. Many people say this is the finest performance in pop history. It certainly ranks very high on the chart.
    It is calming, but powerful. Can you imagine being there.

    There were two Righteous Brothers, not real brothers, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. They both wanted to record the solo, so they flipped a coin and Bobby won. It was meant to be because no one else could’ve met that perfection. He had a magnificent range and a smooth delivery of this beautiful love song. Anyway, that’s why Bill wasn’t in the performance. It was originally written for a movie back in 1954 of a man who was in prison and wanted to know if his girl would wait for him. It wasn’t recorded by Bobby until 1965. It was recorded when young men were going off to the Vietnam war and it meant a lot to them. RIP Bobby.

    Bobby Hatfield was a classic 'counter tenor'!..Extremely rare voice..200 years ago, he would be in huge demand to sing in high register in choirs..Why?..Because they stopped the act of 'Castrati'....Even today he would be in demand to perform in opera's around the world!

    This was performed live on The Andy Williams Show,a singer in his own right,there is a slightly longer version where Andy interviews them and we learn the have a sense of humor,Bill Medley actually the single solo with Bobby,but on the other side is a great song and fun time with the brothers and Andy coming together just for some good old fashion fun called What'd I Say,if you can find that just watch it for your own enjoyment.

    So many wonderful songs by the Righteous Brothers besides the ones mentioned below by viewers. Ebb Tide sung by Bobby Hatfield & Brown Eyed Woman sung by Bill Medley. Bill's leading but has Bobby joins in the bluesy song "I want to make love to you". "You'll Never Walk Alone" on the Ed Sullivan TV show with both of them. Ck them all out by the Righteous Brothers..the vocals are amazing.
