    Big hit in the '60s. Bobby's studio version of "unchained Melody" was used as the background music for a love scene in the 1990 movie "Ghost". The audiences loved it, and it became a hit all over again. Same song, same artist, recorded 25 years earlier. The album was rereleased and it earned a whole box full of platinum records. One for every COUNTRY where it sold over a million copies, If you want to hear both of them sing together try "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". That song is ranked as radio's most requested and played song of the 20th century.

    This is the epitome of "Blue-eyed Soul" with their individual vocal talents and their harmony together and with such soul in their voices too. Might notice that during the intro interview that Bobby seems kind of out of breath. First, he deals with moderate episodes of stage fright when going live, 2nd-his mom is in the audience for this performance - her first time. Bobby's 3-octave range, with complete ease all through those ranges keeping perfect tone and clarity, and with amazing breath control make this to be considered in the music world as the best live performance - ever! Keep in mind that this Live performance is in 1965 - long before there was auto-tune or computer assist gizmos. This is His voice - pure talent. Some have done this song since Bobby's version (Elvis's version like 10 yrs later or so) - but Bobby (RIP) owns this.

    Unchained Melody:
    Bobby Hatfield live performance.
    The Andy Williams Show-
    Episode #4.5
    Episode aired: Monday, Oct 25, 1965:
    Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice ( in this performance his range is an incredible: D3 to G5 sharp) to Bill Medley’s, William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. Both wanted to sing "Unchained Melody" for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song.
    *In Nov. 2003 Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63.
    The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt (actually calling DJs telling them to play “Hung On You” not “Unchained Melody “)as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side.
    * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and before he left he said, 'No, I can do it better. ’And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song."
    * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."
    Hatfield’s rendition of “Unchained Melody” although not the original, is the ‘gold standard’.
