You know what's cool about growing up now when it comes to music though? All of this music still exists, it's not like you can't find it anymore! Plus there is also other music available too. More great music is always better than less.
And remember this is live, with no autotune, no real sound mixing, two-track mono and no added adjustments. Real, professional singers with a command of their melodic talents. There is no one to compare to them, outside of maybe the Everly Brothers, but that's it. It's a shame we don't have that today.
I was lucky enough to see them a few times, the first at my high school senior prom in 1964, in NYC at Basin Street East. Every prom date in the place was ready to rush the stage, lol. They were an amazing duo, and we haven't anything better since.
@@enlightendbel Altec Lansing. Normally they were a floor mic, supported on pillows or towels for a choir. only a couple folk could use them as a hand mike. Hell to bring their audio up to concert level.
Also, look at the followspot lighting. They wanted to feature each of themselves during every song. I didn't run followspot for this show, but look at how each brother steps out of the light to let the other do solo. Yeah, you don't get that kind of cooperation so each get the spotlight. They were fantastic.
Autotune, and the rest of the technology is a very small part of the problem. The music industry in the United States and globally is rigged. For instance, compare, and no talent puppet like Taylor Swift to people like Karen Carpenter, Diana Ross, Linda Ronstadt, Tina Turner, Loretta Lynn, Etta James, etc. you’ll have your answer. The corporate criminal elite were on the music industry and everything else are just trying to put out as much product as they possibly can. These people are the ruling class, and they are the reason why everything, not just music sucks now.
I was in high school when this aired on Shindig. We had no idea that nearly sixty years later that the impact of the Righteous Brothers would still be so strong. Thanks for the wonderful reactions, young Ladies 🎶
These aren't creamy little guys. They are the apex predators of Blue Eyed Soul. Saw them in 1965 in San Diego with the love of my life, Sharon . They blew the place up. At 76. Sharon is still the love of my life.
So good to hear your lady is still your lady, in a world where people throw away marriage and love, like it's a used tissue, it's heartening to see some things, like brilliant music and real love, still rock on.
What is so great about the music back then was the accompaniment of the instruments in the background. The Righteous Brothers used an orchestra to enhance their music and many musicians then did the same. I grew up listening to the Righteous Brothers and Motown Town R & B and Rock and Roll.
The lights out on them, they begin to sing, lights go on, being seen on television and not what as expected. I read they were booked in Harlem, they were booed and they they began to sing. The crowd loved them ❤️
The late Bobby Hatfield had such a beautiful voice - gone much too soon. Bill Medley sang "I had the Time of My Life" in the move Dirty Dancing. Another of their songs is "Soul & Inspiration" and they were the personification of "blue-eye soul". Thanks to all of you for your comments & reactions.
@@terryeslick5918 - I'm 68 and I too remember when these "oldies" were "newies". I haven't listened to top 40 radio in many, many years. I guess I'm too old to appreciate most current hit songs.
YOU YOUNGER GENERATION KIDS NOW CAN HEAR AND SEE SOME OF THE GREATEST VOICES OF MY GENERATION. NO COMPUTERS... NO SYNTHESIZERS...NO LIP-SYNCING... PURE TALENT AND PURE LIVE VOICE!!!!
Im 65 now and this music was it ,the best 60s ,70s and 80s .brilliant and has kept me feeling great and young ,Wow these were the days.Hey young folks its fantastic you love this music.Please listen to more ,you will feell great as I have through my life.!!!!!
Amazing huh! Sang back in the day when auto-tune wasn't even a 'thought' they where especially amazing doing live performances... The Righteous Brothers singing 'Unchained melody' _ OUTSTANDING!!
When Bill was picked to sing the lead, Bobby asked Phil Spector what he was suppose do while Bill sang. Spector's response was "take your money to bank". Spector knew it was going to be a hit.
The song was written for them by Mann and Weil ... no question of who would sing which part.. Specter (producer) chose to lean it heavily to Bill, which, although a good artistic choice, annoyed both of the 'brothers' because they had always sung equally, even though they would switch off the lead.
"Swifties" take note...this IS how it's done, no overproduction, inane costumes, fluffy dance moves or screaming. Nothing but talent & a great orchestra.
@@hoagsmash4188 Dudeite ...You weren't there so I'll try to explain for you. It was recorded on a live sound stage with the orchestra fully miked in the background, with a live audience.
@@BomBoo-rn8gj Except you're wrong lol Live audience yes, but that IS the studio recording of the song. It was not recorded that day, and yes, this I do know for a fact. And I also know that show, and given the people shown in the background, there was no room for an orchestra behind them... So, dude, let ME explain to YOU that you're actually wrong. GTFO
Both of you are half right. There is a backing track playing (Common for Shindig!) but they are singing live. Pretty much impossible to replicate Phil Spector productions on stage.@@BomBoo-rn8gj
@@jjflash1645 correct. Like I said, there are exceptions. Your implication was that singers using their real name was the norm back then and it certainly wasn’t.
@@wilsoncpuGmail No the weren’t brothers. Righteous Brothers was the name of the group, like the Cadillacs, Drifters, etc., but they kept their real names.
They were singing in a club in Orange County, CA and AF marines from the El Toro Marine Corps base were at the club and they stood up after the song was over and yelled, “that’s righteous brothers”. That’s how they got their name. It was at a club that was an AF club and when they first went on stage, they were boo’d, but their singing made all the difference.
That’s what Ebay, Goodwill, yard sales, etc are for. I gave about 300 albums from the late 60’s through the 80’s to a vintage shop in the mid 2000’s as I was downsizing, getting old, etc. Music from many genres. Regret that decision everyday! Record stores were a great place to hang out back then, ie: browsing or searching though the aisles and rows of records, meeting new people, talking music, purchasing both old and new music, finally finding that album you have been hunting for forever……Good memories!
It's about time somebody had the guts to write a song like this, in this day and age. And before people start opening their mouth it doesn't mean just blacks or whites or Hispanics it is a song for everybody. If you have to watch the video again or hear it again do it.
The songs of the era reflected the ethos of that long lost society. Respect. Humility. Steadfastness. Hope. Slow reveals in all aspects of life. Poise and discovery. Today the children at 13 are sated and tired of life. I would burst from my bed every morning filled with wonder and anticipation. Every sound I heard , every person I saw , every word I spoke , every interaction in the classroom and the sport field was a joy. The music contained the same dimensions. I am reminded of that much underrated classic from the Bee Gees - We Must Have Lost The Road. Peace and blessings to everyone.
I always loved this song when it first came out but was amazed even further when I read that it also contains the first recording by another of my other favorite Icons of all time . I've read that it contains a 16 yo Cher filling in for a backup singer who was MIA. bay-BABY- !
I was 14 yrs back then this is how we fell in Love with our girlfriend I'm 72yrs old now and I still remember My Debbie Lynn Fisher Middle river Jr High School❤❤❤❤
I’m 75, this is the music that was always on the radio in my car and on the stereo at home. We just took it for granted. We thought that it would always be there. Then it was gone. So sad. 😮
Loved your reaction, you commented on his presentation and genes, indicating a sense of aesthetics. RIP, Bobby, you’re forever remembered for this glorious performance.
I feel sorry for the young people of this era, whom are now discovering the music that we grew up with. I’m 75 years old now and songs like these are true classics, so beautiful, so powerful, so pure talent.
RIP. Legendary songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Cynthia Weil died Thursday night at 82. The two-time Grammy award winner and Academy Award nominee was the pen behind an impressive roster of hits, including “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” by The Righteous Brothers, “Here You Come Again” by Dolly Parton, and “Through the Fire” by Chaka Khan,
More like bring back music like this❤❤ I was raised on Elvis and country music but I also loved music from the 50s and 60s when music was about real life and had a lot of soul. Today there are only a few artists that have that same feeling when they sing…James Arthur, NF, Chris Stapleton, Teddy Swims, Benson Boone, Lauren Spencer Smith, Noah Kahan, Morgan Wallen, Ed Sheeran at times, etc. My father every Sunday on his day off would spend his morning with me in the living room spinning me around dancing with my feet on his to his old 45 records. One of my favorite memories of my father which I have only a few of from my childhood and now that he’s gone. We lost him by his own hands after fighting brain cancer back in 2012 and whenever I miss him I turn back to the very music we danced around to.
Trivia from the ole folks….they were at a black soul club in Detroit or Chicago and sang this before it was recorded and went national. They didn’t even have a name. A group of Marines was listening. As they finished, one Marine stood and shouted…that was RIGHTEOUS, brothers. As they say…the rest is history. Just wanna point out…no vocal gimmicks, no sound mixing, no synthesizers or blending Just to VERY TALENTED singers. Soul has no skin color.
They were performing as part of the group "the Paramours", and the "Righteous Brothers" monicre came from that situation at the El Toro Marine base. The clube they played at regularly was in Santa Ana.
The 1960’s music was the template for much of the great music thereafter. Pop music went off the rails in the 90’s and seemed to degenerate into the 2000’s. Gone are the days when a singer could capture an audience with pure talent. Fireworks, lasers and special effects can never accomplish what these gentlemen did with their voices and presence. Nothing I have heard produced in the last two decades can give me goosebumps. These young people have proven music like this would be welcome on pop music stations.
@juliusfucik4011 ha me too and I try to play their games and said okay you can take me out then and that pissed them off more and then I just started being the guy on side amd messed around with married women amd they even got possessive so I'm going become a passport bro
21 years ago my 5 week old grandson died because his heart was not fully developed. This song will always bring tears to this 68 year old man. RIP Anthony Michael ❤
Born in 1961. I grew up with this music. I feel like the melody part of music is disappearing. Please bring it back. Love this. And others. Beach Boys.Sam cooke and so on. Tight harmony. ❤❤❤❤
I’ll be 80 in May, but 4:45 I never get tired of listening to the music of the “old days”. I still have my record rack with all my 45 RPM records from those days. My kids have promised to keep it in the family. My daughter’s friend gave me a portable record player to play them on. The sound quality is not the best, but the memories are always wonderful!
I have seen your video like half a dozen time cause I like the Righteous brothers and request videos all the time. Best part of this was when she the one on the left said ....... "I want that loving feeling back". Everytime I have seen this video that has given me a chuckle.
Hi Craig, thanks for posting this. There are at least two versions of this song. This one & Wolf's 1st ever appearance in England. You're bringing back an ol' Man's memories. Thanks again, James from Chicago
They were lead singers for separate groups and folk back then went to after hour clubs after gigging all night and they got together then. It's how we networked back then.
Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)
OK I give up, I'm old. I remember road tripping across the prairies in the station wagon, in the seats waaaay in the back of a 7 seat version . Listening to this on a 8 track, wow man I'm old!
I'm 58. I grew up listening to this stuff. We really did have the best music.
Im 28 and I agree
Amen!!!
I'm 69 & the music from the late '50's to early '80's was some of the best ever produced.

Almost 60 years later, they're still making women swoon!
I grew up on Righteous Brothers! They were awesome!
After all these years I never get tired of listening to them
Who else is just here to listen to great songs and watch beautiful ladies swoon
I was in high school when this aired on Shindig. We had no idea that nearly sixty years later that the impact of the Righteous Brothers would still be so strong. Thanks for the wonderful reactions, young Ladies 🎶
I would rush home from school to watch Shindig. White go go boots were one thing I save all my babysitting money to buy.
yes SHINDIG -
Can’t help it…I’m older & im on an emotional crying jag tonight listening & watching these…compared to todays awful world…Bring it On Back People! 😢😢😢
Yes, the world is in scary shape!
Glad I’m old and won’t be here for the total destruction.
So true
Still melting the ladies 60 years later. And we got to court our girls to this music.

clearly you hit the life lotto, congrats to you and your lovely (assuming she must be) bride for being together since before i was born (in 65)
"Apex predators of Blue Eyed Soul"... well said, brother, you nailed it.

In my opinion Bobby Hatfield is one of the best singers we have ever had! RIP legend.
Absolutely 💯
No one could touch him vocally
Agree with you❤
The joy of that gal in the white t-shirt and white headphones was precious.
The audience would now be at least as old as your grand parents, we had the best music.
And people wonder why so many babies came along back then! Straight up grinding music! !!
No Auto-Tune....just true talent

Kind of song you wish would never end
Thats music that comes from the heart and soul

These singers were philandering
Well said. I'm 74 and thankful that I lived through the best music of all time. Contrast this with the junk music out today 😮
Universal poetry from the heart never lies...

Why did the world leave all this heart emotion behind and replace it with anger driven trash?
Music driven by anger is often the most moving and beautiful. Stop being thick.

Plenty of variety in the world like there has always been. The past wasn't wonderful
Exactly!
