Bobby Hatfield - live, nervous as hell, no auto tune, and just one of the most astonishing performances you'll ever see.
I've watched singers react to this and they talk about just how effortlessly he sings even with the high notes. This is just pure talent on display.
Did Bobby tell you he was nervous?
His mother was watching him perform live for the first time.
100%
He also had a cold
One of the most classic love songs ever, it is timeless and will forever be so.
I can see why! 😊
Amen!!
Other than Marvin Gaye's sexual healing this song and that one are the top 2 wet panty droppers and baby makers.
I don't think that I have ever seen a more perfect performance than this- it is truly one of the most iconic performances in music history. Time and time again, I see women swoon over this performance.
This was 1965, he is singing it live, and, he was so scared he'd mess up as his mother was in the audience and he just wanted to nail the performance. He did. This is pure talent.
You heard it in MANY MANY movies, with Ghost being one of them.
That and he had a head cold, which you can hear in his tone.
His lip bite at the end tells us that he was happy with his performance.
@@HGWTPaladin
As well he should have been. It is easily one of the best live performances ever, especially since we know it was him singing given the year. Even in the 80s, you had groups lip singing to a track (Alan Jackson made a point to mock that during an award show). Today, it's autotuned, lip singing, etc.
One of the reasons I absolutely love the classic music (50s-70s for me); back then, you either had talent or didn't. Bobby had it.
@@mgass1354 So true. Thanks
Bobby Hatfield is still melting hearts over 50 years later...there is still hope for this planet
One of THEE greatest singing performances of all time! The range, and the feeling Bobby put into it.
No question about it.
Agreed, but what were the other two ??
Id have to say Queen live Aid performance @@terrystrand
Oh give me a break!
He made it look easy. Those high notes are astounding.
Hundreds of singers have sung this song but none have done it better than Bobby Hatfield. The studio version was used in the film 'Ghost' and was great but this live version is stupendous. No auto tune or gimmicks just pure talent. He had a cold, his mother was in the audience watching him perform for the first time and he suffered with stage fright. When he hits the high note at the end his face does not contort like other singers' faces when they hit a really high note. He just bites his lip and smiles as if to say 'I nailed it'.
No one ever did it better than Bobbie did he did it perfectly. He passed away in 2003 i still miss him
As a guy who grew up in that time, I KNEW that song was eternal. I am just surprised that in the time which “has gone by” everybody doesn’t know about it.
I know it’s not your fault. And I am so glad you got to enjoy it. Because none of us are here forever, and everybody should hear Bobby Hatfield do this at least once.
Bobby Hatfield sang tenor/countertenor which is why he could hit those high notes at the end. I think this performance was better than the studio release (used in the movie Ghost). This song is from a 1950's prison movie called Unchained (which was not very good). It's been covered by many (hundreds?) of singers, but Bobby owns it. If you watch it again, notice how relaxed his jaw is. That cresendo/decresendo he did early in the song takes such fantastic breath control! Just 3 minutes of total perfection!
This is (was) Bobby Hatfield. The other “brother” is Bill Medley, who is still with us. They normally sang as a duo, but did occasional solos. To see both watch You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling.
Thanks, Inna! you've probably heard it - but not like THIS.. as said by others... Bobby was nervous... it was live, and his MOM was in the audience... I'm sure she was proud! (amazing voice... no straining or screaming... and def. not "autotune") appreciate your listen...
In terms of what people relate to: this was the era of the Vietnam war and many of the people who were sent there knew there was a real chance they might not return. So very relevant. It is also one of the most covered songs of all time. To understand how good this performance really was, you need to see some of the people who are vocal coaches, opera singers, etc describe what is happening. They know how very difficult some of the notes were to produce and how very great Bobbie Hatfield was. As an aside, the Righteous Brothers singing as a duo which they normally did made a song called “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” which became the most played song of the 20th century.
The Righteous Brothers were hugely popular in the 1960's. This song was re-recorded by Bobby Hatfield and used in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.
So, The Righteous Brothers are not actually real brothers, but were a singing duo of Bobby Hatfield, whom performs this song alone, and Bill Medley. They were popular in the 60s for a while, and then when their song "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was used in the movie "Top Gun" in the 80s, they became popular again. That's probably their most famous song, and you get to see the two of them perform together, so you should definitely see that one. Then this song was used in the movie "Ghost" in the 90s, which brought them attention again, and this song has definitely been used in other movies and commercials since then. "Soul and Inspiration" is another good song of theirs. They have a handful of good ones that were popular in their time.
Bill Medley also did a duet with Jennifer Warnes for the song "I've Had The Time Of My Life", that was specifically written for the movie "Dirty Dancing" in the 80s, and was a big hit at that time.
Bobby Hatfield died 20 years ago, so the band is not still a thing. Bill Medley is still alive, i believe, so maybe he still performs, but he's in his 80s now, so I kind of doubt it.
People say Bill is still performing! Sweet!
Bill is still performing and touring!
More than 'a few' good songs. They had 22 in the Billboard Hot 100 and in '65 had three albums in the top 20 simultaneously.
IIRC the way they got their name was while performing in the US South in Soul and Blues venues, one night when they finished a song someone in the audience yelled out, "That's righteous, brothers!"
They adopted the name, and are one of the original "Blue Eyed Soul" groups.
Yes you would think most people would figure out "How many people have the last name of "Righteous?" lol
THIS SONG STANDS OUT BECAUSE THE RIGHT MAN SUNG THE RIGHT SONG AND MADE IT HIS .
This version is far better than the version used in the movie “Ghost”. Sadly, most people have never heard this live performance, which is vastly superior to the studio/record/movie version.
The song was written and 1st sung in a 1940s prison movie called "Unchained" It was also in the movie "Ghost"
No one has song this song better than the late great 'Bobby Hatfield' of the 'Righteous Brothers'
as he did back in 1965 on the 'Andy Williams Show.'
This (Live) television performance was one for the ages.
Many in the music industry called it the best live television performance ever.
The Andy Williams Orchestra and its String Section were to die for.
They along with the incomparable voice of Bobby Hatfield made this version of
"Unchained Melody" composed by Alex North with Lyrics by Hy Zaret (1955) the best of them all.
It has Become the quintessential version of them all.
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is the song to hear by them.
Thank you for the suggestion 😊
@@InnaSoloMusicyeah, gotta do that one!😊
Bobby Hatfield was born in rural Wisconsin, Beaver Dam to be exact. During this performance his family was in the audience.
Good react again Beauty. This is an absolutely classic. A time when the vocal and musical quality was authentic. No more words! See you at the next 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
This is Bobby Hatfield , a member of the " Righteous Brothers " . He is performing this song as a solo . This is a supreme performance and I must say that this is phenominal !!!!! This has been 1 of over 700 recordings of this song .
This was live in 1965 with no gimmics or auto-tune. Pure his voice. This was in the movie Ghost
Definitely need more clean entertainment like this nowadays. The shock factor is his incredible voice, not taking clothes off or anything like that!
This song has been used in many, many movies, TV series and commercials. I am sure you have heard parts of it before. Elvis Presly also sang this and had a popular version, but this song is first and foremost Bobby Hatfield's song. He made it famous, and he really owns the song. Curiously it is from a soundtrack written by Alex North... most people don't know that. It was composed for a forgettable movie called "Unchained." Bobby found it, bought it, and made it famous.
This always makes me cry inside, I grew up with this music, and was a music teacher. Twenty years ago in 2003, on my way to work, the car radio was on, they reported that Bobby had died in a hotel room before a performance with Bill, the other Righteous Brother, in Kalamazoo Michigan. I had almost bought tickets to the show, but was too busy to go so didn't. It was only 50 minutes from my house! Imagine having to teach music a bunch of kids who had no idea who these guys were and keep my mouth shut about his death because they could never relate to this great music. When I took them to the Rock and Roll Roll of Fame on a trip they only knew who Elvis and Michael Jackson were.....duh....the dumbing down of American music by the media and the cash register. "What's a Cash register?" they might ask now...oh God....thank goodness for reactors learning about all kinds of music, our only hope.
Bobby was an incredibly talented countertenor.
Of course you e heard it. It one of the most famous and greatest songs ever recorded. The gold standard as this song is covered by over 670 artists. It’s in the movie Ghost. Sadly Bobby left us in 2003 but his music will last forever
In fact this is one of the most world famous songs of the history
This first appeared in the 1955 movie Unchained, starring the former football player Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The movie takes place in a prison, and the song was written for the movie to reflect the mood of the prisoners as they wait for time to pass.
Yes, the first time he performed this with his mother there, and he was sick with a cold. Amazing!
Check out YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING. You will see both members of the Righteous Brothers performing (black & white video from December 1964).
Thank you very much for the suggestion 😊
Great reaction Inna! To my mind, this live performance is perfect.
My favorite song of all time.
It’s a beautiful song!
REAL Music.
I wish I had that talent for one day
My only problem with this performance was Bobby Hatfield didn't go ahead and invent the mic drop, right there. You're not gonna hear a much better live vocal than that.
Beautiful song i had it for my wedding waltz 26 years ago still gives me goose bumps when i hear it l
There can't be anyone who haven't heard this song, if have ever heard some great song!
No "American Idol" b.s. here, friend!😂 This is what music was like pretty much until Mtv came along in early '80's & turned music industry into image over substance, which continues to this day. I'm a Nashville boy, the little known 5 yr training-ground for the GOAT electric guitarist, Jimi Hendrix. & I tell ya, I can find bums under the bridge here & hand them a guitar & they're better than 99% of anything you'll find in rest of Nashville, "Music City, USA"!!! Sad but TRUE! But they're not pretty enough so back under the bridge they go!😂
Best Wishes from NashvilleTowne!🙏
✌🌎❤
I love American Idol!! But mostly because I love Katy Perry 😜
This has been used in movies. One of which is called ghost
The greatest performance in history .
Disagree there was less talent during the 60's. If anything there was more talent in the 60's.
60s and 70s were the best.
His name was Bobby (Bobby Hatfield 1940-2003) and with his pure talent he took Unchained Melody to a very high level. May he rest in peace and may the earth be light for him. Indeed, we are dust, nothing but dust (by the way, isn't it written: "you who admired me yesterday, do you know that I will be dust forever tomorrow?"). Rest in peace Bobby; Amen
You’ll never see a better live performance in your life. Bobby Hatfield had it all, and he owns this song. and we are a poorer world without him. RIP🎉
Another Righteous Brothers song you’d recognize is “That loving Feeling”. That has both guys (who aren’t brothers) singing
Proves you don't have to play an instrument to be a fabulous musician(though he probably did). His timing, dynamics and anticipation is just flawless. Like Louis Armstrong on the trumpet.
Great song to slo-dance to. I grew up in a Italian household in the 50s and 60s listening to Lou Monte and Louis Prima singing C'e La Luna , ( Lazy Mary) and many other songs. I loved your reaction to the video a very good singer Bobby Hatfield was. I hope to see more of you on UA-cam. CIAO
This was a solo by Bobby Hatfield, check out both partners in You'll Never Walk Alone.
thisis oneof the most famous songsin the world,used in every film made in hollywood
That’s why it sounded a bit familiar! 😊
The PERFECT COUPLING, the picture “Ghost” & “Unchained Melody”! ! !
Great reaction, I am glad you liked it! This is a true classic, it has been sung in many movies, so Its no wonder you find it familiar :)
Great Classic !
Thank you !
The Righteous Brothers us a duo, Bobby Hatfield (here) and Bill Medley. This particular song was a solo number for Bobby. To hear them both, I would suggest You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling or Soul and Inspiration. Both awesome songs.
Music before 1975 , Lyrics from the "Mississippi" song
"now the country song forever lost its soul when the guitar player turned to rock and roll"
Hi Inna from Canada! Just discovered your channel. I want to pass along a whole list of Righteous Brothers hit songs for you. You'll love them!
1) You've Lost That Loving Feeling 2) Just Once In My Life 3) See That Girl 4) White Cliffs Of Dover 5) Ebb Tide 6) He 7) Soul And Inspiration
8) You'll Never Walk Alone 9) Rock And Roll Heaven. Enjoy!
The very best!!!!!!!!!!!
The righteous brother's consist of Bobby Hatfield and Bill medley. This is a solo by Bobby with Bill playing piano in the shadows
He played piano on the studio recording, not here.
All live, no editing, no dubbing,... first take...... talent......
Only one of them sings this song! One of my all time favorites,!
Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chain live at Monterrey Pop " will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED.
The launchers of blue eyed soul. The great Righteous brothers.
The movie Ghost (1990) with Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopie Goldberg.
The guy Sam (Patrick) sits behind Molly (Demi) and together they sit at a turntable where Sam in a charged mood holds Molly's hands while this song is played.
Remember this was live TV back in 1965.
Oct. 25, to be precise.
On the “Andy
Williams” show.
He was married five days later in Las Vegas and if I remember correctly his fiancé was with his mom in the audience.
I’m 71 and it seems like I first saw this performance yesterday.
Absolutely perfection...
elvis did a cover of this song. and Gene Vincent too.
His mother was in the audience, at this performance.
They (his partner - Bill Medley) joke around, that the tossed a coin to see which would record this song, Bill lost.
I highly recommend Inna react to the Italian singer Adriano Celentano. He wrote and performed a song in 1972 which reached Number One on the charts. I cannot spell the song title, but perhaps you can find it because it was a very big hit in the early 1970s
A classic performance. Yes, this song used in many movies and TV shows. Great reaction, you really enjoyed! Yes it's a duo, sometimes they sang solo. Great reaction, you really enjoyed 🎉❤
Right. And this live tv performance was the best version ever. Really top level stuff. Bobby Hatfield.
Hi ms I., U have just been serenaded by Mr. Bobby Hatfield, ½ of the Righteous Brothers.. ♠W.G.
Used in the movie " Ghost"
Track unchained melody used in the movie “ Ghost “ Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. Movie was released July 13,1990.
I'm half Italian on my dad's side of the family. They came from Calabria Italy!
So cool to know! I live in Italy but in the north
Ghost do Outro Lado Da Vida. Kkkkkkkkkkk. Quem tem 30 e poucos anos como eu e é brasileiro, cresceu ouvindo essa musica no filme na Sessão da tarde. 😂
The Righteous Brothers sang “you’ve lost that loving feeling,” which Tom Cruise sang on the first Top Gun movie. Unchained Melody is a very famous song, one of the most romantic in pop music history. You would also have heard it in the movie Ghost starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.
And this is just one of the duo, Bobby Hatfield on his own. In *another* performance for the ages, you should listen to him along with Bill Medley on 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling'.
Inna you had me from the start. I really loved your sweet personality and that Italian friendliness and honest emotional openness that I've seen in my Italian friends. Your reaction to my favourite live performance made it extra enjoyable for me. I felt compelled to sub so that I could continue to see your sweet smile light up each time the music/singing reaches your 💜
What a wonderful song & performance! No, nothing to do with Lionel Richie! Totally different vibe!
This was from the Andy Williams variety tv show. You missed the beginning where he interviewed Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. They told how they got their name and that Bobby would sing thins song by himself. Bill is off stage.
No one, not even Elvis Presley can perform this song like Bobby Hatfield. And when Blacks heard him sing like that, they said "That's righteous, bro!" And the name stuck, for there are two men, a duo, who sing, Bobby Hatfield, a tenor, and the other, Bill Medley, a bass and it was because of Bobby Hatfield's rendition of "Unchained Melody" [1970]which was originated by Alex North in 1955 that became the iconic standard Bobby Hatfield owns this song forever.
Supposedly the two men were appearing in a club while trying out different names for themselves and a patron came up to them after a show and said there singing was righteous.
Remember it well in my childhood.Ii is such a romantic song even if you are not currently in a romantic relationship. It is in one of the most romantic scenes in movie history Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore.The Righteous Brothers are not brothers but a duo,Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley.
If not mentioned below, it was the song from the movie Ghost.; and as commented many many more things!
It was used in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.
Love the righteous brothers and he did live not In a studio where now they have the technology to help your voice and it was on the sound track of ghost with Patrick swazyr and Debbie Moore remember the clay scene where they're holding hands love the music you bring to the table and your reactions are like 🍒 s on top keep up the outstanding work darlin ❤️
The Andy Williams Show-
Episode #4.5
Episode aired Oct 25, 1965
Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher counter tenor voice 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. 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 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’.
If your going to review the 60s you will love The Grass Roots pick any song off their 16 Greatest Hits album and live if available or just start with "Bella Linda" live that's a good one👍
Great Reaction!!!!!
Thank you very much 😊
Beautiful nothing like it
This guy was a colossus of singers . I think you have nailed a big part of what is so good about this and what i took from it from the first time I heard it......... His obvious love for and commitment to making the best music he could........., Whatever the state of his nerves at the time!
It does not ring a bell for you because it was way before your time. Many say this is the greatest love song EVER!! Bobbie the man singing is darn good, he had a big vocal range. Keep in mind that this is live, no computer studio magic. Just a man with a great voice!! A little warning for you and all of the other ladies out there -- at the end watch for the lip bite.... !!!!
Now you must locate and review the Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin Feeling.
Many great Righteous brothers to react to, go for it!
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' was their highest charting record. Slow dancing were the Brothers except for their first single - Little Latin Lupe Lou
He never messed it up, it was pure class but please listen to the whole song then make a comment, it then becomes worthy
Blue eyed soul!
Sweety, you've heard parts of this song in movies whenever there is a love scene.
If you have watched the movie "Ghost" this was played while they were making pottery together.
I can remember these guys from my childhood, they were really popular!
Nice reaction Inna, keep them coming 💜😊
This yells you about the history of the song: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unchained_Melody
