Tony Williams is absolutely wonderful, but the Platters aren't the original singers, though the best known today. It goes back to 1939. Both Glenn Miller and The Ink Spots recorded it that year. They all put their personal stamp on it.
Bobby and Bill were both born in 1940. They were both 24 with their first hit "you've lost that loving feeling". They were in the band the Paramours in 1962 but became the duo The Righteous Brothers in 1963.
Righteous Brothers formed in 63. Before that they were in a group called the Paramours. They sang together until Bobby died in 02 I believe. They both would branch off and do things individually, but would always get together to tour. They had their differences but always remained friends. One of my favorite duos of the 60's. Slow dancing to their music with my first girlfriend in Jr. High and High School was heaven.
Righteous Brothers broke up in '68. Hatfield teamed up with Jimmy Walker as the RB but it didn't work out so well. Bobby & Bill got back together in '74 and then they were on and off until bobby's death in '03
The screaming is the truth, the big indicator that THIS is live, not the record over the video...plus he is singing to his true audience, the teenagers, and not the Andy Williams show audience full of adults. this was originally a big hit for 1950's group "The Platters." YES it is Bobby from the Righteous Brothers. Both guys were born in 1942. Bobby died in 2003. These girls were screaming for him as much as they screamed for the Beatles...that's how great these guys were. I'm so glad you're back...you put a smile on my face every time.
Both Bobby and Bill were born in 1940. They met in 1961 or 2. They started the Righteous Brothers in 1962. They both agreed to each of them doing one solo song on their albums. I believe this performance by Bobby was done on the TV show, Shindig. They were regulars on the show in 1963 & 64. They broke up in 69 but got back together again in 74. That's when they did Rock & Roll Heaven and Dream On and Give it the People. Then in 76 they split up again when Bill's ex wife was murdered and he wanted to raise his 11 year old son. So it was 5 year's when they got back together for good until Bobby passed away in 2003 of a heart attack.
Do you remember Lada Edmond on Shindig?. The blonde with the flip haircut. Hair combed straight back & wearing a headband? ....I think. I thought she was pretty cool when I was 12-13 yrs. old. hahaha I'm 72 now, argh!!! June
@@christianmattison6096 Bill also completely lost his voice at that time. Had to work hard to get it back. When they split in 1968, it was because Bill wanted to try a solo career.
@@Aurora-tp3dy Yes...I remembered Bill Medley saying during various interviews that he had those voice issues that led to losing his voice when he performed those Las Vegas shows 3x a day. Bill said that Elvis Pressley alternated with him on this show schedule. He also said that Frank Sinatra coached him on how to protect his voice in the dry Vegas climate. Frank Sinatra met with Bill Medley regularly to check on him and his progress with improving and protecting his voice. I think Bill Medley also reached out to Bobby Hatfield to perform with him again, saying that it was hard doing solo performances given the challenges with his voice.
@@LDSW You're right. I remember reading about when the RBs first started appearing in Vegas. Sinatra had to give the OK for them to perform at the Sands. Guess the fact that they knew Nancy Sinatra helped. Sinatra insisted that Bobby and Bill join him, and other guys who were appearing at the Sands, in the steam room everyday. Bill said they smelled like eucalyptus for months afterward. 😂 Edit: In '74 Bill met with Bobby to talk about getting back together because, as you said, it was hard on his voice doing the shows solo. Which they did. By '76 his voice was wrecked. Doctors told him his voice was gone for good. By chance, he met the choir teacher from his high school. That guy worked with him for 2 years to get his voice back...2 lessons a day.
Love Bobby, but this was a Platters hit, with one of the greatest vocalists ever, Tony Williams. Unfortunately no video exists, but the song is available on UA-cam.
6:56 I think I’ve seen most of your reactions to Bobby and the Righteous Brothers. All quite enjoyable! I know you’ve inducted both of them into the PD Club! Bobby does have several solo releases; Ebb Tide was one of his more popular songs. My favorite is one that was never released until a few years ago on an obscure album. The song is called ‘Stay With Me’ by Bobby Hatfield. In my opinion it’s the most dramatic and hauntingly beautiful song I’ve ever heard him sing! It also exposes his range all through the song. I can only find one reaction to it: you would be the second person to ever react to it. I believe you would give it the reaction it deserves. BTW it is audio only. I don’t know how to send links (I’m 74), but it’s easy to google! Thank you and keep up the fun reactions.
@@brittreacts don't thank me you earned it darlin if not not on UA-cam alot its because I work seven days a but I pray that you took the hint on me going to the UK in chance of getting to meet you in person unless you have a boyfriend then I can respect that and would never put you in that I'm gonna be serious when I first saw you it was love at first sight now I don't do long relationships been there done that and it never ends well I hope you can understand I'm 39 never been married because of my work but you are the most beautiful woman I've ever layed my eyes on darlin ❤️
Britt, so glad you were able to figure out that was indeed Bobby Hatfield😅 And the Righteous Brothers would sing separately if a particular song was more suited for one or the other. I Believe is another song Bobby does that you'll love. Also this song, My Prayer, was written back in 39 or earlier. It was made famous by The Platters in 54. They're a vocal group of 4 men and 1 women and their harmonies are just beautiful. They had a bunch of hits including Only You, The Great Pretender, Twilight Time, and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. Have a great weekend!❤
Mrs. Britt, the reason I come to your channel is I just adore your facial expressions and you are so believable with your reactions !! Well let's just say that your husband is one very blessed fellow !! Please keep doin what you do best, and I if the Lord allows me breath...I'll be here too !!!
Both born in 1940. This clip is from the tv show Shindig, from 1964-66. The RB were a featured act on Shindig. The girl group is The Blossoms, including the legendary Darlene Love. Bobby might have been on his own while Bill's baby was born about this time.
Bobby Hatfield was definitely a heartthrob and I agree with the previous post about checking out The Platters original version of this song. They, too, were top notch and had many good songs, my favorite being The "Great Pretender". So glad to be taking this journey with you on your discovery of great music and incomparable talent from the past.
Yes, this is the Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers. The reason he looks different is because the video didn't age well. I mean, this is a 59 year old video. Bobby and Bill were 25 in 1965.
Bobby Hatfield August 10. 1940 Bill Medley September 19. 1940 Bobby passed away in Nov 2003 Bill is 83 and still on tour.. Can you please find a video of Bobby singing Ebb Tide.
The Righteous Brothers sang "Unchained Melody" in 1965. Bobby released "The Prayer" in 1969. Bill Medley and Jennifer Warren released "I've Had the Time of my Life" in 1987 but I think the one you watched was from when they were a bit older. Bobby and Bill were born in 1940 .
Bobby recorded My Prayer twice. First recorded in 1963 (when a Righteous Brother). I think it's available on the CD The Moonglow Years. In 1969, he recorded and released it under his own name. They are different, but both totally Bobby. The video is from the a performance on Shindig in early 1965. The arrangement is like the Moonglow recording.
The Platters recorded this song. The group consisted of a lead singer and four backing singers. It made sense to give Bobby backing singers to achieve the same effect. The platters are amazing.
Girl I love your reactions to the songs you react to. Keep it up because I love you my sister I'm white and I say your my sister because we all are brothers and sisters in Christ. GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️
My Prayer was originally sung and popularized in 1956 by the soul group, "The Platters." It rose to #1 on the billboard, interrupting a string of Elvis Presley hits. It was later covered by "blue-eyed soul singer" Roy Orbison.
The Righteous Brothers first became well known on 'Shindig'. Here's what they sounded like then...ua-cam.com/video/y2E6UijOHek/v-deo.htmlsi=-E142EwO2hbTYi4V. Their later work became more polished, but most of us 'old originals' used to dance and scream to this kind of music😁
They joined up in 1963 and had their greatest hits in 64 and 65. I had the great pleasure to see them in concert at the Masonic Temple in Detroit at their best in 1967
Bobby is about 25 here. This is on Shindig in which they were regualrs. You need to listen to I Believe. Stay with Me, and the Wonder of you Also for a different side of the brothers Litte Latin Lupe Lu, Justine, Ko ko Jo and all their Shindig performances.
Britt, FYI, Bobby was typical of our music of the 50's & 60's. Slow and swaying. This is the music we danced to. We called it "Belly Rubbin' Dancing". Don't laugh, our cars had bench seats and our 'cup holders' sat close to us wearing poodle skirts. It was the best time to be a teen.
Loved this! Bobby Hatfield is my favorite singer, and I get butterflies when he does his thing at 5:14 . But, I still prefer the original by The Platters.
Absolutely phenomenal, beautiful song, what kind of answer would you guys come up with to the line, "Please tell me, tell me the words That I'm longing to know" I will say something like, yes absolutely yes, will i marry you, my darling, until the end of time, will I love you, my beloved King, from the depths of my eternal soul, your beloved Queen, share with me you guys, what you might say 🙏❤️🔥🙏
You were asking about ages. They were both born in 1940, Bobby in August, Bill in September. Bobby was 24 here. The guys in the white suits are The Temptations. Yup, The Temptations! They backed Bobby on 2 numbers on this episode of Shindig. Bobby appeared on this episode alone (Feb. 10, 1965). Did one other solo (is that The Coasters in the background?) and the opening mash up. Bill was taken ill, may have been in the hospital for a short time. I think you asked about something else, but it's flown out of my mind. If I remember, I'll post the answer if I know. We watch you because you're real and fun.😊
I keep coming back because your reactions are authentic and sometimes rather funny. My mom got me hooked on music in the womb, she loved music as much as I do. I actually started collecting music when I was 3 years old. I have music (not counting classical) from 1800 to current music, in every genre all though I am not much of a fan of rap, metal or opera.
Bill sang Time of My Life, not Bobby,that's why he looks different, it wasn't him. 🤣. They started as a duo, but later had their own projects they wanted to do, but they would get back together for tours where they sang together and did their solo songs as well. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️
“Hot mess express” lol that’s why I like this channel. It’s fun watching Britt lose her marbles on songs. Lol makes me smile a little bit during my days.
We love Bobby Hatfield and Bill medley of The Righteous Brothers Who can't the talent is just amazing You said in the very beginning What is this when He sings the words my prayer and rings it out gently It's just like what you said about Elvis at the end of what Now my Love 💕 IT'S OPERA AND ELVIS AND BOBBY AND I'M SURE BILL HAVE THE SKILL AND ABILITY OF OPERATIC VOICE AND TONE! I would ask you please to listen to the group who originally did this song and they are known as "THE PLATTERS'' PLEASE GIVE IT A LISTEN!
They were the same age. Born in 1940. Bill is 83 & still performing with partner Bucky Herd. You probably know Bobby died in 2003 from a heart attack B4 a performance. They did solos when they were together too. They went their separate ways a couple times and the touring schedules had a lot to do with it but when the time was right they got back together & stayed together until Bobby's death. Bill loves performing but plans to semi retire to be home & with family more instead of on the road touring. I get that being 78 myself & still working but it's become a chore. He began his Thank You Farewell Tour January 19th.
You checked before videos from years 64, 65. When recorded during tv programs (probably this is 'Shindig') live sound and lights really are bad. Anyway, his voice is still brilliant even with bad quality videos ❤
Bill and Bobby were both born in 1940. They were active together as the Righteous Brothers during: 1962-1968, 1974-1976, 1981-2003 (when Bobby passed away on Nov. 5)
I love that you catch all these nuances whether I agree with your various articulation I'd say 80 maybe 90% of the time but sometimes you come out with some really weird stuff lol But that's why we love you Just be yourself❤
You should listen to Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome I could cry". He said it was the best song he had ever written in 1949. The top song writer, performing artist, and recording artist of his time. He wrote the song titled" I can't help it but I still in love with you" in a 15 minutes challenge to receive a recording contract. Surrounded by millions, he died of loneliness and a broken heart at 29 years old. Elvis covered it in 1973 and said it was "the saddest song he had ever heard". I thing the best cover was by BJ Thomas. You should google all three and react to the one you like, but Hank William lets you know what loneness feels like. You say you like a back story this is the best one you will hear. UA-cam the Hank Williams Story and watch the movie.
They started in the early 60's as I recall. They broke up and got back together a couple of times. By the 80's they parted but on the best of terms. The Medley song you're referring to is from Dirty Dancing. They're the best male duo of all time IMHO. Great job.
They joined up together in 1962 in a 5 member group, The Paramours. In 1963 the Righteous Brothers was born. They broke up in 1968. In 1974 they regrouped. In 1982 they got back together after breaking up in 1976. During the break ups, they had solo careers.They continued to work together until Bobby's death in 2003. However, even when together, there were separate projects.
No. Did not simultaneous carriers. They recorded solo on certain songs. Bobby had a drug and alcohol problem and died tragically and early and Bill Medly continued his recording and live performance career.
i beleive the lady background singers are a group called The Blossoms, which in themselves were an excellent female group with their own success, not sure who the male singers are
I’m so glad somebody is doing a reaction to “my prayer”. He does a masterful job. Bobby Hatfield has a magnificent voice. He is a true counter tenor.
Both of the Righteous Brothers had magnificent voices. And together oh my! ❤❤❤. You're just adorable and really enjoy your reactions!!!! ❤❤❤
aber Bobby war der talentiertere von beiden.😊😊😊
@@utatriebel2211 Agree!
Said they came together at 23yrs young in 1963 & hit BIG
yes i cant belive its 21 years since he died November 5, 2003 i miss him i was always a fan of the Righteous Brothers rest in peace bobby
I know this song! They used to play it when I was a teenager in the 1960s. Haven't heard it decades and forgot it existed.
Bobby does it again. The runs, vibrato, control all part of the talented Bobby Hatfield.
You have to listen to The Platters sing the original of this song. Tony Williams is a legendary singer
Tony Williams is absolutely wonderful, but the Platters aren't the original singers, though the best known today.

Bill Medley, at 83, is still touring with new partner, Bucky Heard, as The Righteous Brothers. Bucky was in my youngest sister’s class in high school.
Bobby was 25 years old when he appeared on the Andy Williams show and first sang the Unchained Medley in 1965.
Yes, Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers..They sang together from the early 60s till Bobby died in early 2000s.
Just pure talent. OH those days

Judging by the screaming, it's Shindig. I think it's between 1964-1966. I believe he's in his mid twenties. LOVE your reaction! Many thanks!

I think you asked about something else, but it's flown out of my mind. If I remember, I'll post the answer if I know.
We watch you because you're real and fun.😊
Great Reaction 👍🙏👣🌹
I keep coming back because your reactions are authentic and sometimes rather funny. My mom got me hooked on music in the womb, she loved music as much as I do. I actually started collecting music when I was 3 years old. I have music (not counting classical) from 1800 to current music, in every genre all though I am not much of a fan of rap, metal or opera.
The Platters were first with this song, Tony Williams as lead is magnificent.
Bill sang Time of My Life, not Bobby,that's why he looks different, it wasn't him. 🤣. They started as a duo, but later had their own projects they wanted to do, but they would get back together for tours where they sang together and did their solo songs as well. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️
“Hot mess express” lol that’s why I like this channel. It’s fun watching Britt lose her marbles on songs. Lol makes me smile a little bit during my days.
We love Bobby Hatfield and Bill medley of The Righteous Brothers Who can't the talent is just amazing You said in the very beginning What is this when He sings the words my prayer and rings it out gently It's just like what you said about Elvis at the end of what Now my Love 💕 IT'S OPERA AND ELVIS AND BOBBY AND I'M SURE BILL HAVE THE SKILL AND ABILITY OF OPERATIC VOICE AND TONE! I would ask you please to listen to the group who originally did this song and they are known as "THE PLATTERS'' PLEASE GIVE IT A LISTEN!
😂 he is so sexy love his voice ❤ its him Britt the late 60's they came out
Righteous Brothers formed in 1963
@Mrs_Brittreacts-- I don't have telegram all.i have is Google chat or my phone
THEY BOTH DID SOLO,S WHILE STILL THE RIGHTOUS BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Platters' version of this song is my favorite.
Bobby Hatfield could sign the menu from a McDonalds and it would be great.
I think this was during their break up of a few years. Eventually reuniting in 1981.
If you like Bobby's version you should listen to the Platters version of My Prayer
They were very popular in the 60’s when they were both in their mid-20s
They were the same age. Born in 1940. Bill is 83 & still performing with partner Bucky Herd. You probably know Bobby died in 2003 from a heart attack B4 a performance. They did solos when they were together too. They went their separate ways a couple times and the touring schedules had a lot to do with it but when the time was right they got back together & stayed together until Bobby's death. Bill loves performing but plans to semi retire to be home & with family more instead of on the road touring. I get that being 78 myself & still working but it's become a chore. He began his Thank You Farewell Tour January 19th.
They each had a solo on each album.
You checked before videos from years 64, 65. When recorded during tv programs (probably this is 'Shindig') live sound and lights really are bad. Anyway, his voice is still brilliant even with bad quality videos ❤
He would be about 84 year's old now.
You have to listen to the Platters do the original....8th grade dances.....YES!!!
FOR THE MUSIC, WE PUT UP WITH YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!
Bill and Bobby were both born in 1940.
They were active together as the Righteous Brothers during: 1962-1968, 1974-1976, 1981-2003 (when Bobby passed away on Nov. 5)
Your first set of dates aren't quite accurate. They were together from 1962-68. Your other dates are correct.
You are correct. My error.
I think that Bill was doing a solo act in Vegas around ’69-‘70.
When you actually had to have talent NO AUTOTUNE
I love that you catch all these nuances whether I agree with your various articulation I'd say 80 maybe 90% of the time but sometimes you come out with some really weird stuff lol But that's why we love you Just be yourself❤
You should listen to Hank Williams "I'm so lonesome I could cry". He said it was the best song he had ever written in 1949. The top song writer, performing artist, and recording artist of his time. He wrote the song titled" I can't help it but I still in love with you" in a 15 minutes challenge to receive a recording contract. Surrounded by millions, he died of loneliness and a broken heart at 29 years old. Elvis covered it in 1973 and said it was "the saddest song he had ever heard". I thing the best cover was by BJ Thomas. You should google all three and react to the one you like, but Hank William lets you know what loneness feels like. You say you like a back story this is the best one you will hear. UA-cam the Hank Williams Story and watch the movie.
You are only about you right!!!!!
fun fact one of those background singers is Glen Cambell, another is a young Cher
Original Platters hit.
They started in the early 60's as I recall. They broke up and got back together a couple of times. By the 80's they parted but on the best of terms. The Medley song you're referring to is from Dirty Dancing. They're the best male duo of all time IMHO. Great job.
They joined up together in 1962 in a 5 member group, The Paramours. In 1963 the Righteous Brothers was born. They broke up in 1968. In 1974 they regrouped. In 1982 they got back together after breaking up in 1976. During the break ups, they had solo careers.They continued to work together until Bobby's death in 2003. However, even when together, there were separate projects.
You are becoming a Bobby Hatfield expert 😄
I like you- crazy woman 🤣❤️
No. Did not simultaneous carriers. They recorded solo on certain songs. Bobby had a drug and alcohol problem and died tragically and early and Bill Medly continued his recording and live performance career.
Wow another one who believes his fantasy life is real.
i beleive the lady background singers are a group called The Blossoms, which in themselves were an excellent female group with their own success, not sure who the male singers are
The Righteous Brothers broke up in 1968 and then got together off and on starting in 1974
YES IT IS "BOBBY HATFIELD"!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YOU ARE CONFUSED BUT WE LOVE ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We come so we can be a hot mess together...you let us know we are not alone in our hot messiness. LOL 😂
It’s him
