He died in Kalamazoo in a hotel before he and Bill were to go onstage, just an hour from my house!!i cried, I grew up with that music and I was a music teacher.
Seems though... less than 10% of US TVs were color yet in 65. NBC started most prime-time to color shows for the 65/66 season. So this 1965 Andy Williams TV Show was recorded and broadcast in color. All 3 networks then.... went to most also color for the 66/67 season. I know as a boy we did not have a color TV until a wealthier relative gave us their first one and that one had tubes and not what was called solid state yet. I remember color between shows to commercials would have radically different color.... you adjusted to decent fleshtones for one show... a commercial came on and had green faces and next pink faces... same for changing stations. That old RCA color had my father complain and want good ole B&W back.... and it kept the TV repair man busy coming to the home to change weakened tubes LOL.
Kris, you know this from the movie GHOST......the pottery scene and the final scene. This song was originally in an old 1955 little known prison movie called Unchained. Bobby Hatfield is the 4th person to cover this song and he did it his way and it became a hit in 1965. This song got a second life from the Ghost movie and hit the charts for a second time. Unchanged Melody is the most covered song ever with well over 650 covers. Bobby's original recording is what you hear in Ghost. Bobby is a counter tenor with a 4 octave range. He can hit those high notes....no falsetto.....those bare pure notes. Bobby passed away in 2002. His partner, Bill Medley is still performing. In fact Bill also has a song from A famous movie. He sings, I Had The Time If My Life in the final huge dance scene from the movie, Dirty Dancing. Check out The righteous brothers together singing: "You've Let That Loving Feeling". " Soul and Inspiration" "Rock and Roll Heaven" ( videos on all) Bobby was 24 here, was very nervous, had a cold and his mom was in the audience seeing him perform live on tv for the first time. The Andy Williams show was a very popular TV show with a huge viewer audience. Check out Andy Williams, he has an amazing voice: "Love Is A Many Splendor Thing". " Moon River". Andy sang mostly movie ballads. Maybe best know for "Its The Most Wonderful Time If The Year". A Christmas song that's a staple throughout the holiday season and has also been used in commercials. The Righteous Brothers started out in 2 different groups but came together to create a unique sound. They were together for a few yesrs, then split for solo careers. After a few years they got back together and toured all around until Bobby's death in 2002. He died in his hotel room just hours before they were to perform. Check out Bobby's rendition of " Summertime" ( video). And Bill singing "I Just Wasn't To Make Love to You"
Another great live performance on the Ed Sullivan show which really highlights both their vocals and their incredible HARMONIES is YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE! ❤❤ Love your reactions from an 80 yr old who grew up listening to this great music. You might also check out TOM T HALL - OLD DOGS,CHILDREN AND WATERMELON WINE. Tom wrote that after a real encounter With an older black gentleman cleaning up in a hotel lounge late one night!
Loads of singers have sung this song but none do it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version was used in the movie 'Ghost' but this live version is stupendous. He had a cold, his mother was watching him sing live for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. Watch when he gets to the high notes at the end. He does not contort his face like other singers do when hitting a high note. He bites his lip and smiles as if to say I nailed it.
Bobby sang effortlessly and it speaks to his skill and control. I think Krizz is mistaken here I don't think Bobby sang this in falsetto, but it seems it. My memory also says Bobby _gained an octave_ when he got older. A rare talent for sure, RIP Bobby.
My daddy tried to bring Mama out of her coma with this song... she'd fallen into a coma after surgery for aneurysms... this was THEIR SONG when it first came out. He'd sit there beside her on her hospital bed, holding her hand while he played this cassette over & over... so every time I hear it that’s what I see: Daddy praying at Mama's bedside & holding her hands while this played... Daddy finally joined her in Heaven, but it took 20 more years. Through those last 20 years, I'd catch him still playing it, time to time, when he thought no one was around..
It was written for the 1955 prison movie Unchained. This was on the Andy Williams show and Bobby's mom was in the audience. You need to check out their cover of You'll Never Walk Alone on the Ed Sulluvan Show.
Originally from the film Unchained, in 1955. Lots of artists have recorded it. But Bobby's versions are the definitive ones. It was the black Marines out of El Toro that named them, true story,
You had to have talent to sing back then ... no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmick, just pure God given talent . That's not falsetto .. Bobby is a rare counter tenor with an amazing range .. also know to us oldies as blue eyed soul. Check out You've Lost That Loving Feeling (most played song of the 20th century.... also Bobby singing Summertime
Bill was joking about not thinking it was going to be a hit. They often flipped coins or just had songs that fit their individual ranges best (like Bill singing "I Just Wanna Make Love to You") so went that way. They both did solos often along with the duets. In fact, Bill played the piano while Bobby sang on the original recording of "Unchained Melody".
This was planned to be a B-side or a filler for an album so Phil Spector, the producer, left early thinking it a waste of time. So Bill not only played piano on it but effectively filled in as the producer. I've heard rumors that Phil Spector tried to cover that up.
This song was written by Alex North (music) and Zy Haret ( lyrics) for the 1955 movie "Unchained." Thus the name. The movie was the story of a man in prison contempletating escape. The song went relatively unnoticed until recorded by the Righteous Brothers in 1965. This clip is from the Andy Williams Show. Andy was one of the famous crooners from the 50s to 70s era. He recorded 43 albums, 15 of which went gold and 3 which went platinum. Andy is best known for his recording of Moon River.
He wa sick during this performance and never missed a note. True talent. His mom was out on the audience and the orchestra was people he had never sang with before. Absolutely amazing!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ tears no matter what cause of such beauty and simplicity😢
They were on the Andy Williams variety tv show. Andy Williams was a crooner type singer. He did a ton of Christmas song albums. I think it was President Reagan that stated his voice was a National Treasure. Maybe consider reacting to Christmas songs for the month of December. Check out Andy Williams - It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year performed on his TV show
Bill Medley has a great low voice. People don't ask for "Harlem Shuffle" probably because it didn't chart like some of their other tunes, but believe me, bluesy, soulful, sexy!
This is regarded as one of the greatest live vocal performances of all time (See also Elvis, If I Can Dream, 1968 Comeback Special). Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley as the Righteous Brothers are a legendary duo. Both epic vocalists but Hatfield's performance of this is just ❤🔥May he RIP🕯
The greatest live performance by a singer (not a group) of all time. One of the few live performances , that is actually better than the studio version.
As a duet they had a series of hits in the early and mid-sixties that are just wonderful time capsules now. 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling',Soul And Inspiration', or 'Just Once In My Life'. Bill Medley (tall skinny guy) had a duet that has featured in Dirty Dancing, called 'Time Of My Life'.
I was 14 when this song came out, love it just as much now as i did then. When a lot of these songs came out most of the young men were in Vietnam fighting.
Thank you for playing the clip with Andy Williams introducing them. They are so funny, and Bill Medley delivers his lines with such a straight face and dry demeanor! Makes it even funnier! 😂😂
"Unchained Melody" was, originally, written as a theme for a 1955 movie set in a prison, titled Unchained. The prisoner is dreaming of his release, being "unchained" so he could return to his woman. Krizz, you probably have heard the Righteous Brothers song, You've Lost that Loving Feeling., in association with their name.
***New Album coming 2025!*** omg Boomers don't quit! - Per Google: Bill Medley Medley is still touring with Bucky Heard, who replaced Bobby Hatfield after Hatfield's death in 2003. Medley has won a Grammy, Oscar, Golden Globe, and American Music Award, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's also set to release a new album in early 2025 called Straight from the Heart. Bucky Heard Heard is an Alabama native who has shared the stage with Andy Williams and Glen Campbell. He was named "Male Vocalist of the Year" by entertainment publications.
Bobby Hatfield singing here was only 25 or 26 at the time and singing live with his mother in the audience. And just want to add am really enjoying your reactions.
Want some fun? Watch modern female reactions to this, and see the girl fall in love with Bobby Hatfield. It's about an imprisoned man longing for his girl Bobby was nervous here, but he was also a little sick and out of breath. Out of breath.
Yup, just like watching reactions to Wicked Game. I love watching couples react and the dude starts looking over like, damn lol. The og Mr Steal yo girl 😅
My post asking Krizz to please listen to the songs instead of constantly talking - How can a opinion be formed ? And going back to Black Pegasus was DELETED lol !
The Celebrity Theater was one of my favorite venues when I lived there, no matter who was performing! I always made sure to get good tickets if I was buying them, but the couple times I had free tickets from the record labels where I was behind the band were still great experiences. 🎶💜
They're just incredible. You've lost that loving feeling has to be next my friend. Too much Heaven from the Bee Gees please 🙏 Great reaction and Peace out Krizz ☮️ ✌️ 🙏
They were called "Righteous" because they sang R&B that would knock your socks off. They had many hit love songs but their "Tear the Roof Off" R&B was what the fans looked forward to every week on the TV show called "Shindig". That show launched a lot of careers for young artists like Glen Campbell who was also a regular, Sonny and Cher, Bobby Sherman and many more. Their catalog is huge so I hope you get a chance to view as many videos as possible. They never disappoint.
It was originally written for a 1955 movie called "Unchained". It was used in the movie "Ghost". This was the way live performances were. Well dressed entertainers and well dressed audiences. Bobby passed away in 2003. Bill is still living. They were 25 when they did this performance.
The man singing is Bobby Hatfield the dark-haired one is Bill Medley. They sing other songs where they sing together and another one of their more popular songs you’ve probably heard in top gun. It’s called.” you’ve lost that loving feeling.”
They actually had just finished singing together, and then host Andy Williams came over to do the interview, which turn out really fun, giving you a sense of their personalities. Andy Williams was a famous singer who had his own TV show for 9 years. He had sung Battle Hymn of the Republic at Senator Robert F. Kennedy's funeral in 1968 [Kennedy was assassinated a month after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr]. Little known fact: In 1964 before the Righteous Brothers became nationally famous, they were asked to be one of the warmup acts for the Beatles USA tour in August and September. they left the tour after a few weeks, they had anew recording contract, couldn't stand all the screaming in the audiences, they couldn't hear themselves. . After that they were off and running with a string of big hits TV and movie appearances. Their kind of music was labeled "Blue Eyed Soul." People of any background loved these guys, the girls used to scream for them almost as much as the Beatles.
Thanks for reacting to one of the most beautiful songs, sang perfectly by Bobby Hatfield. Bobby didn't sing falsetto. He did have an amazing octave range. He was a tenor that could reach the range of counter tenor.
Actually, they really didn’t think it was going to be a hit. When it was released, this was the ‘B’ side, but some radio disk jockeys started playing it anyway, and it caught on and became a hit. The reason why it was a ‘B’ Is because the song was already 10 years old, and had had two earlier versions that were ‘hits’.
Righteous Brothers had several GREAT songs, all over the radio, all the time, and were BIG in Las Vegas, back in the day. This song (sung by Bobby) is now considered the #1 live performance of all time, and is currently #1 most listened to online song, in the world. Bobby was 25 when he did this live, on TV and had a cold. His mother was in the audience, and he was so thrilled that he made it thru, with that cold to deal with! The original song was written about a man stuck in jail..but during the Vietnam era, this was a very, very popular wedding song, as couples were torn apart by the war, waiting to reunite. Check out other Righteous Brothers, singing together, and prepare to be blown away. Bobby has passed away now, but Bill is still around and singing with a new partner. (Many people who heard Righteous Brothers on the radio, were 'surprised to find out they are white folk, not black!) Often referred to even today, as the Soul Brothers.
First hit the charts in 1955 by the great black artist Roy Hamilton who Elvis admired and emulated and later befriended. Charted twice before The Boys did it, and later on became a regular oart of Elvis’ repetoire. Elvis sang the Roy Hamilton arrangement.
Bobby Hatfield had a cold singing this! Brill creme or spray in '60s. Beautiful sincere song! At 6, saw Saw his on TV-as my young mom watched The Andy Williams Show.
The movie Ghost..Elvis and many others have covered this song..But just wait until you hear the other guy sing lol. You've Lost That Loving feeling is a prime example, they sing together.
His mother was in the audience and he was singing this song for her. BTW, if you listen very closely, some of the words sound like he didn't breath through his nose at all, because he didn't. He had a cold while he was singing this song.
the origional movie, from the 1950's, was called 'unchained' (thus the name 'unchained melody'), and bits of it have been heard in various other ones. the one you're thinking of, however, is probably 'ghost'. the performance you're seeing here's when they appeared as guests on the andy williams t.v. show. also, bobby hatfield had about the widest octave range of any singer ever. finally, this and another righteous broothers song (with the other 'brother' taking the lead on that one) are 2 of the most played songs ever.
Everybody dressed well back then! You would NEVER see someone go to a store or town without being dressed up and their hair fixed! No "messy mom buns" back then!!!!! This was LIVE television! If you want to hear a more current version of that voice flip, watch LeeAnne Rhymes sing Blue!!!!!
First of all, I was born in 1965 and that was 59 years ago (I wish it was 56 years, cuz I'm holding on to every year!) Second, you definitely need to check out more of both of these guys together. Bill was the beautiful baritone counterpart. I know you know You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling.
Bobby is a counter tenor and his high notes come out naturally not forced out like a falsetto. If you want to see more power from Bobby’s voice listen to “Summertime”. That will blow you away
You've probably heard the song in the movie ghost. It was out for a long time before it was used in the movie. The reason for the interview before they sang is because this is a clip from The Andy Williams Show.
The movie was GHOST and starred Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003 and Bill Medley is still alive. You should try and listen to the Righteous Brothers singing "You've lost that lovin' feeling and "You'll Never Walk Alone." but all their songs are awesome. They both sang together and did solo as well. Jeanette, New Zealand.
The song had a huge resurgence after the move "Ghost".
It was first in a 1950's film called Unchained.
Two golden throats, The Righteous Brothers. Try "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" to hear them both.The most listened too song of the 20th century.
The definition of blue eyed soul for all time never any better
Bobby Hatfield died in 2003, but Bill Medley is still with us, he's 84
He died in Kalamazoo in a hotel before he and Bill were to go onstage, just an hour from my house!!i cried, I grew up with that music and I was a music teacher.
I heard he had a really bad drinking problem. Don't know if it's true or not
Yes Krizz, we had color TV in 1965 😂... It was in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.

I remember color between shows to commercials would have radically different color.... you adjusted to decent fleshtones for one show... a commercial came on and had green faces and next pink faces... same for changing stations. That old RCA color had my father complain and want good ole B&W back.... and it kept the TV repair man busy coming to the home to change weakened tubes LOL.
The Righteous Brothers old school Panty Droppers for sure.
We both sent out the same type of message at the same time....sympatico

So sorry. Seems like they had an incredible loving marriage. You were blessed to have them ❤
No theatrics, he don’t even break a sweat. That incredible voice was a gift 😍

Great! Live and no auto tune crap
Rock and Roll Heaven was another hit for them
I'm sure it's been in quite a few movies, but it's most well known in Ghost.
The greatest live performance by a singer (not a group) of all time. One of the few live performances , that is actually better than the studio version.
Such a classic 👌 song 🎵
The hairstyle was achieved with greasy pomade, not hairspray.
Bobby was a counter. Tenor.
Awesome song. Awesome group ❤
PURE VOCAL BLESSING
🤗 ❣️ 🤗
I love the movie ghost as well. It's during when Demi and Patrick doing pottery together ❤
To hear them both, watch You've Lost that Lovin Feeling
$5 that you cant listen to a whole song without commenting and stopping
You got to hear both of them .
As a duet they had a series of hits in the early and mid-sixties that are just wonderful time capsules now. 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling',Soul And Inspiration', or 'Just Once In My Life'. Bill Medley (tall skinny guy) had a duet that has featured in Dirty Dancing, called 'Time Of My Life'.
I was 14 when this song came out, love it just as much now as i did then. When a lot of these songs came out most of the young men were in Vietnam fighting.
Probably Brylcreem in his hair. We didn't have all the products back then that we have today.
Thank you for playing the clip with Andy Williams introducing them. They are so funny, and Bill Medley delivers his lines with such a straight face and dry demeanor! Makes it even funnier! 😂😂
My husband just told me it was ghost that was the name of the movie and I believe that’s what you’re thinking of. Thank you so much.
"Unchained Melody" was, originally, written as a theme for a 1955 movie set in a prison, titled Unchained. The prisoner is dreaming of his release, being "unchained" so he could return to his woman. Krizz, you probably have heard the Righteous Brothers song, You've Lost that Loving Feeling., in association with their name.
Bobby Hatfield(the one singing the song) sadly passed away awhile ago but Bill Medley is still alive.
I remember this in the movie Ghost. You definitely hit a classic with this song 🎶
It was originally written as the theme music for a movie titled "Unchained" about some escaped prisoners.
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤️
***New Album coming 2025!*** omg Boomers don't quit! - Per Google: Bill Medley
Medley is still touring with Bucky Heard, who replaced Bobby Hatfield after Hatfield's death in 2003. Medley has won a Grammy, Oscar, Golden Globe, and American Music Award, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's also set to release a new album in early 2025 called Straight from the Heart.

Thank you for an enjoyable reaction, I hope you listen to more of the Righteous Brothers songs, Little Latin Lupe is a fun one.

This song was in Ghost… during the pottery wheel scene.
My post asking Krizz to please listen to the songs instead of constantly talking - How can a opinion be formed ? And going back to Black Pegasus was DELETED lol !
This is from their appearance on The Andy Williams Show.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. To sings this live is even more impressive.
The Celebrity Theater was one of my favorite venues when I lived there, no matter who was performing! I always made sure to get good tickets if I was buying them, but the couple times I had free tickets from the record labels where I was behind the band were still great experiences. 🎶💜
I live this song. Bobby had a cold that night and was nervous because his mom was in the audience. This is pure raw talent! Love your reaction!
One of the top five panty dropping songs ever
They're just incredible. You've lost that loving feeling has to be next my friend. Too much Heaven from the Bee Gees please 🙏 Great reaction and Peace out Krizz ☮️ ✌️ 🙏
You be you. Enjoy yourself. Outstanding.
Now, you must react to You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling
They are amazing singing together.
On the recorded version bill actually produced it arranged. It and even played piano
Another hit by them is Bring back, that loving feeling. This song was in the movie Ghost
They were called "Righteous" because they sang R&B that would knock your socks off.

Bobby didn't sing falsetto. He did have an amazing octave range.
He was a tenor that could reach the range of counter tenor.
Serious baby making music. Such a great song
They were "Blue-eyed soul" at its best!❤
Actually, they really didn’t think it was going to be a hit. When it was released, this was the ‘B’ side, but some radio disk jockeys started playing it anyway, and it caught on and became a hit. The reason why it was a ‘B’ Is because the song was already 10 years old, and had had two earlier versions that were ‘hits’.
Absolutely love this song.
Righteous Brothers had several GREAT songs, all over the radio, all the time, and were BIG in Las Vegas, back in the day. This song (sung by Bobby) is now considered the #1 live performance of all time, and is currently #1 most listened to online song, in the world. Bobby was 25 when he did this live, on TV and had a cold. His mother was in the audience, and he was so thrilled that he made it thru, with that cold to deal with! The original song was written about a man stuck in jail..but during the Vietnam era, this was a very, very popular wedding song, as couples were torn apart by the war, waiting to reunite. Check out other Righteous Brothers, singing together, and prepare to be blown away. Bobby has passed away now, but Bill is still around and singing with a new partner. (Many people who heard Righteous Brothers on the radio, were 'surprised to find out they are white folk, not black!) Often referred to even today, as the Soul Brothers.
First hit the charts in 1955 by the great black artist Roy Hamilton who Elvis admired and emulated and later befriended. Charted twice before The Boys did it, and later on became a regular oart of Elvis’ repetoire. Elvis sang the Roy Hamilton arrangement.
At the end of the song. He thought...yeah I just did that sh*t. 😅
Don't worry, we all are singing along!
Bobby Hatfield had a cold singing this! Brill creme or spray in '60s. Beautiful sincere song! At 6, saw Saw his on TV-as my young mom watched The Andy Williams Show.
Theme song for a 1955 movie called “Unchained” about a prisoner longing for his sweetheart. Then “Ghost” in 1990.
The movie Ghost..Elvis and many others have covered this song..But just wait until you hear the other guy sing lol. You've Lost That Loving feeling is a prime example, they sing together.
This song was in the movie was Ghost released in 1990, staring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore.
The song originally was in a 1950s movie called unchained
His mother was in the audience and he was singing this song for her. BTW, if you listen very closely, some of the words sound like he didn't breath through his nose at all, because he didn't. He had a cold while he was singing this song.
the origional movie, from the 1950's, was called 'unchained' (thus the name 'unchained melody'), and bits of it have been heard in various other ones. the one you're thinking of, however, is probably 'ghost'.
the performance you're seeing here's when they appeared as guests on the andy williams t.v. show.
also, bobby hatfield had about the widest octave range of any singer ever. finally, this and another righteous broothers song (with the other 'brother' taking the lead on that one) are 2 of the most played songs ever.
I Had the Time of my Life from Dirty Dancing. Bill Medley the tall, skinny one) sings it.
Everybody dressed well back then! You would NEVER see someone go to a store or town without being dressed up and their hair fixed! No "messy mom buns" back then!!!!! This was LIVE television! If you want to hear a more current version of that voice flip, watch LeeAnne Rhymes sing Blue!!!!!
First of all, I was born in 1965 and that was 59 years ago (I wish it was 56 years, cuz I'm holding on to every year!) Second, you definitely need to check out more of both of these guys together. Bill was the beautiful baritone counterpart. I know you know You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling.
Bobby is a counter tenor and his high notes come out naturally not forced out like a falsetto. If you want to see more power from Bobby’s voice listen to “Summertime”. That will blow you away
You've probably heard the song in the movie ghost. It was out for a long time before it was used in the movie.
The reason for the interview before they sang is because this is a clip from The Andy Williams Show.
"Ghost" was the movie , Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore
It's from the movie called "Unchained."
The movie was GHOST and starred Whoopi Goldberg, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003 and Bill Medley is still alive. You should try and listen to the Righteous Brothers singing "You've lost that lovin' feeling and "You'll Never Walk Alone." but all their songs are awesome. They both sang together and did solo as well. Jeanette, New Zealand.
Next song from them you need to hear is "You lost that loving feeling"
