You really need to listen to Marcelito Pomoy singing "The Prayer". He does dual voices of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli...he is truly amazing and will blow you away!!
You'll love their songs "soul and inspiration," as well as "I just wanna make love to you." Their whole catalog was amazing. You might want to check out Bill Medleys hit from the movie Dirty Dancing, "We had the time of our life."
My dad always played the Righteous Brothers to my mum, to get in her good books, and it worked every time, he now has dementia but when mum plays this for him he sings it to her. ❤️ your reaction
That is beautiful...it brings tears to my eye because I know how healing music can be...if only we can convince many, many more of our friends that it is. May your mom and dad be blessed!!!
Studies have shown that music memory is stored in a different part of the brain than the kinds of memories affected by some kinds of dementia, so music therapy is helpful for people with dementia.
@@electrictroy2010 I'm sorry, but you're wrong. My aunt and uncle were at the taping of the Andy Williams show that night. Bobby just had that incredible voice, that's all.
@@gregengel1616 yes, there was a "wall of sound with the music, but it what these youngsters don't know is that there were multiple instruments...piano, violins, guitars...etc playing the exact same notes. There was no auto tune nor was there any manipulation of their voices. This was a live performance.
Born in 1934 I was already in my thirties by the time these guys came along and I got a chance to sing back up.....I don't sing anymore, my lungs are gone, but what you youngsters have to understand is, simply, these recordings are LIVE not produced in a quiet room putting 150 tracks over each other....just TWO guys singing with soul and beauty. Love to know what was done years ago is still appreciated today.
Bill Medley is the deep voice. Bobby Hatfield is the high voice. This was the most requested and most played song of the 20th century. Pretty incredible isn't it.? Love this song. It's timeless. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Your simple explanation is the best I've seen -- to say Bobby's a counter-tenor and Bill is a bass-baritone is a bit much for many people.I (However, I said it anyway!)
@@jezebeljones659 thank you. You're very kind. And your explanation was so good and very intelligent. I wish I could have explained it that way but I didn't have the correct words. 👍
@@trudywolfe2795 Thank you, Trudy, but I still say your explanation of the whole thing is perfect. Not everybody is up on these technical terms, nr do they have to be. I think you nailed it in a way anybody could understand. However we say it, I think we all agree on this --Bill and Bobby rule!
Bobby Bill and I grew up together. I started playing and recording drums with them when I was 15. Greatest guys you'd ever know. I left them to join Redbone ("Come and Get your Love")
@@wolfcharger4944 Unfortunately, Butch never read your comment but you were right to be the first to stop scrolling for this legend. He died in February. RIP Butch. It feels like he's underselling his connection to this group a bit -- his brother and bandmate, Barry Rillera (d. 2022), was in both Bill and Bobby's previous bands and introduced them by way of having them see each other's shows. If no Rhythm Rockers and their 3 Rillera brothers, then no Righteous Brothers. Pretty typical humility from that family it seems (Barry could tell you he taught George Harrison to bend strings but only if you ask the right leading questions first). And now we have this piece of music history hidden in a corner of UA-cam like secret hallowed ground.
1960's....not computers, no overdubs, no twenty studio takes... this is LIVE. These were the guys who the phrase " Blue eyed soul" was first uttered about. I saw a meme on the other days that said...." We grew up in the 60's and had the coolest cars, hair and.....MUSIC!!!" True very true...
@@tomholm4456 It might have been live vocals sung to the backing track, but I'm not certain. That was done a lot then. Phil Spector's thumbprint was all over this production.
@@williamvalentino8788 this one wasn't live. It was clearly the studio version. However, there is a live version you can also find on UA-cam and they sing it even better than the studio version
now you know what your parents and grandparents mean when they say "they don't make songs like we use to".... no digital aids... no lip sync.... this was live TV.... just simply, raw talent... peace
I'm 71, and listening to this...made me cry. I remember being 14 and clueless about love, but so touched by this emotional song. I got chills. As you said, pure, raw talent. LIVE! No electronic tinkering, no soul numbing studio crap, just voices full of heart and melody and soul. One of the most beautiful performances ever recorded.
One of the greatest songs in history. Peerless performance. Never to be duplicated singing. Freezes your attention. Perfect wall-of-sound production . Background choir effect breaks your heart. Simple lyrics, the essence of “less is more” poetry. Thanks for the great reaction. It sounded real and genuine.
Grew up with these guys in the 60"s. Motown was on fire and these 2 guys came in and were nicknamed. 'Blue Eyed Soul". Sound as good now 55 years later.
You look up "perfect harmonies" and you'll see Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield staring back at you. Their unique individual voices blended incredibly well. Talents on loan from the gods.
@@MrVvulf I liked them as well.. Grew up listening to Phil & Don. I put Bill & Bobby in a different category however as the Everly's voices were extremely similar and their voices were in my inexpert opinion, "easier" to harmonize than the uncanny blending of the RB's baritone and tenor. Again, just my opinion but I see the Righteous Brothers as a bit more of lightning in a bottle.... but many of my favorite songs from that time were from both the Everlys and the RB. I feel blessed to have grown up during such a magical time for music. With VERY rare exceptions I see today's music as dreck... absent of heart & soul.
@@quentinmichel7581 Have you seen what passes for talent today? I watched a video by two gals and an "astronaut." and was immediately appalled., turned it off. I used to think that the Grammys owed Bill and Bobby an honorary Grammy. But I don't know if they belong in that sort of company.
@@dawnaberry8452 Don't even get me started on that...lol. I'm always giving my son grief about the less than stellar talent around today. Nobody pays their dues anymore. Everybody wants to be famous yesterday without natural skills or working at it. ... and counting on artificial enhancements to camouflage absent talents.
@@MrVvulf I love the Everly Brothers too but their voices do not hold the contrast of Bill Medley’s smooth deep bass voice blending seamlessly with Bobby Hatfield’s perfect pitch tenor voice
I enjoy watching these younger people's faces and reactions to all of my favorite Righteous Brothers songs I use to play back in the day and listened to with my girlfriends at the time between 1964 - 1966. What a time it was to be a teenager.
They are NATIONAL TREASURES! Best Harmony Duo Ever, song most played on radio ever! Still going,! They are EPIC!!! Lots of babies conceived to them!!! No big surprise! Loved reaction! Thanks! ✌🏼🤟🏼
OMG , This the BEST react i ever seen. Many people watching this , with a face of stainless steel . Your react is a 10 out 10 . You are Amazing ! Go on , beautiful lady .
BLUE EYED SOUL AT IT'S FINEST !!!! Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. They are true talent. I feel sorry for today's young people not having as much true talent as we had in the 60's 70's and 80's. I was a teen when this was recorded.
Your reaction was priceless!!! You're gonna want to react next to "Soul & Inspiration" by The Righteous Brothers because they always deliver "the goods!!!" These soulful brothers hit you with their "Thunder" (Bill Medley = deep baritone voice) & "Lightning" (Bobby Hatfield (R.I.P.) = high tenor voice) and their voices blend together so perfectly, they are like "peanut butter & jelly!!!"
I loved watching you react to this great song. I was 16 when this hit the charts in Dec. 1964. WOW !! Your eyes an told the story of how much you enjoyed the performance !! Love it !!
My father went to school with these guys back in the late 50's, early 60's in Santa Ana, California, and he told me that many a young lady lost her virtue to the dulcet singing of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.... This is what REAL singing sounds like- No recording studio tricks or digital fabrication. Just honest to goodness talent.
A teen in the 50's, early 20's in the 60's, great music, Bill and Bobby! What more could we have asked for?? They were great as a duo, and equally as great as soloists. We miss Bobby so much, but Bill is still with us and still singing.
Back when I was younger, I took my date to the Righteous Brothers concert. That was many decades ago and I still remember as if it was yesterday. Yes, Bill Medley's voice had the amazing baritone voice and Bobby Hatfield complimented their duo. As I approach my 70th birthday this year, I will always have those memories.
I just subscribed. I was born in 1965, so I was too young to hear this on the radio when it was brand new. But growing up, l always heard it on the radio. The point I want to make is that you should never be jealous of people who were exposed to previous eras of music. You have access to ALL of this music now. Back in the day, we would have to wait hours or days for our favorite song to come on the radio. Today, you can call it up any time you want. Today, it's a challenge to know what music to experience, but because of technology, ( UA-cam), you have people to guide you to great music! How amazing is that???
This song came out when my mother was just 4 years old. I'm 44 now, and I grew up listening to this on the radio and had absolutely no idea how old the song was until I started seeing people react to it on UA-cam. It's pretty timeless. Music like that is the best music because it simply never goes out of style.
They called it blue eyed soul for a reason hun. The brothers could flat out bring it. Saw them live in reno , no auto tune needed just GOD given talent
My wife and I had the blessed opportunity to see the RB live at the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange Co, Ca. in 1967. We also watched Bill Medley perform in a small nightclub in Huntington Beach Ca in 1973. They were fantastic live and this song was the most played song in history on the radio in the 20th century. I recall that it was #1 on the charts in 1964 for something like 16 weeks. There has never been a better singing duo than these two talented guys.
Your reactions are priceless. LOVED THIS! If you watched Top Gun, this was the song they sang in the diner. Also, if you ever saw Dirty Dancing, the song, I've Had the Time of My Life is Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers. They are truly Blue Eyed Soul.
Loving your reactions. Watching your face and seeing the emotions while listening to their music takes me back to being a teenager and hearing them the first time. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane of feelings.
The most played song of the 20th century, it was estimated that this song hit the airwaves some 8 million times,i ur reaction was fantastic, ur facial expressions to each of the singers and their harmony was both priceless and spot on. Ur ear for talent cannot be questioned. If anyone says otherwise, tell them that a 63 year old peckerwood said , shut up, the woman is good, actually. Way better than good. Love ur reaction darlin...
One of my absolute favourite songs, just started learning how to play this on my acoustic guitar, this song always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it 😊
These guys give you hope for humanity! ----- with the help of music like this maybe we can survive the idiocy around us today and live on as a nation and as a people!!!!
Yes! They bring back that inspiration we used to have! It is a reminder of what we once had, but possibly can attain again. The tears streamed when I heard this again.
This is real, true, honest TALENT. I am beyond grateful to be a Baby Boomer and was blessed to hear the fabulous music of the ‘60s and 70s in real time, with real musicians and real talent and real staying power.
He's still alive AND he was actually on tour when the COVID lockdowns happened, just a couple of weeks shy of coming to my hometown to perform. Hopefully I'll be able to see him on the rescheduled concert date!
Just subscribed. Love your genuine reactions. You have a lovely spirit and shine bright. I love looking back in time with these old videos. Brings back wonderful memories and helped many of us get through 2020. You are a blessing. Thanks from South Carolina.
South Carolina is Sooooo beautiful...I am happy you enjoyed your time with me! We need all the help we can get to make it through these days...thank you for subscribing❤️
I feel compelled to add two more comments. First...I grew up with this kind of music. My generation had so many different artists to appreciate back then. So as I watch "younger" people enjoying the songs that were of that era, I can't help but feel a little sad that they don't have anything to compare to this today. Second....no one ever reacts to what I find is just as fun in this video as the music itself. Did you notice how "cool as the center seed of a cucumber" Bobby is just sitting back there waiting for his turn to sing? It's as if he's thinking: "Well, time for me to get up and join in now"
This song is slamming because it's actually called Blue eyes soul. Lot of people now know it because it was used in the movie top gun. But the righteous Brothers was one of the few blue-eyed soul Stars that passed every line including the racial line.
@@DrewsClues Please react to a 1974 jam released by jazz legend Miles Davis' wife: *They Say I'm Different* Betty Davis I think you might be pleasantly surprised. 👊😉
I'm well known for my ability to discern what other people are saying when they are trying to hide their true feelings--its like a sixth sense. I'm picking up that you rather liked this! : This was the first record I bought with my first wage when I was 15,and it STILL sounds terrific ( the performance, not the record, a vinyl 45RPM, after i'd played it to destruction, it crackled and banged more than WW2! Great reaction., so good to see someone your age getting the same you from this that I did. Well, not quite, I got to dance to it with chicks at the local youth club hop!
Oh...I like this alright...I can’t really describe in words what it does but there is feel good thing about this music...I would to this anytime...it makes me want to hug...smile...you know what the song itself makes me feel like it is hugging 🤗 me!!!❤️
@@DrewsClues I could describe in words what it does to you--it makes you yearn for romance with a man who would love you deeply. I hope you find it :-) Btw, your "LIke" button doesn'y work, I clicked it, Doesn't bother me, but I'm letting you know in case it effects your monetarisation or search ranking?
“You are my soul and inspiration” Righteous Brothers. Also, if you would like to hear a real singer sing live, try Judy Garland singing “Old Man River” on her tv show from 1963. It is on you tube. You will be impressed.

I thought that was Stairway To Heaven
And I thought that was "Yesterday".
@@christinerobinson9372 some even say A Whiter Shade of Pale, i believe Yesterday has the record being the most covered
Most played - this version of this song was played more than any version of any song on radio and/or TV in the 20th Century
@@symbiosisai you are correct yesterday is the most covered song in history
We 70 year olds loved these Blue Eyed soul brothers.
I’ll second that. 78 here. When music meant something.
@@stretch7635 74 here. The beginning of the end was the day autotune was invented.

INCORRECT. The engineer used a Wall of Sound technique that overlaid multiply instruments & multiple voice takes on top of one another

Definitely a manufactured sound, not live

Beautiful music and the poetry of a generation…reaches into our hearts every single time…and still does…I’m 73.

If your middle name is Medley and you were born in 1965 I have news for you about your conception.

We also watched Bill Medley perform in a small nightclub in Huntington Beach Ca in 1973. They were fantastic live and this song was the most played song in history on the radio in the 20th century. I recall that it was #1 on the charts in 1964 for something like 16 weeks. There has never been a better singing duo than these two talented guys.
I enjoyed the music so much (the 50's & 60's) were so Awesome!
Your reactions are priceless. LOVED THIS! If you watched Top Gun, this was the song they sang in the diner. Also, if you ever saw Dirty Dancing, the song, I've Had the Time of My Life is Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers. They are truly Blue Eyed Soul.
LOVE watching the younger generation enjoy our music!! Drew I especially 💘 watching YOU ENJOY our music.
Adorable reaction. Saw them in concert...melted in my seat.
Fantastic singers, fantastic song and Phil Spector's, "wall of sound", puts it over the top
Loving your reactions. Watching your face and seeing the emotions while listening to their music takes me back to being a teenager and hearing them the first time. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane of feelings.
The most played song of the 20th century, it was estimated that this song hit the airwaves some 8 million times,i ur reaction was fantastic, ur facial expressions to each of the singers and their harmony was both priceless and spot on. Ur ear for talent cannot be questioned. If anyone says otherwise, tell them that a 63 year old peckerwood said , shut up, the woman is good, actually. Way better than good. Love ur reaction darlin...
One of the most requested songs of all time.
And one of the best reactions on the Internet!
These guys made us melt. I was in high school when they came out with this song. We fell in love with them. Their voices were awesome together. ❤❤❤❤
back then we used to listen to this kind of music very relaxing
Beautiful isn’t it? Leaves you feeling so warm and 🥰 loved
I am 49 year's old but i was blessed to be born in Louisiana i grew up listening to every kind of music there is
Women still get weak in the knees listening to this song and I am one of the women.
Good music always hits you in the soul, on a cellular level. These musicians give a part of themselves for their fans. No electronics at all!
The most played song on the radio of the 20th Century with over 8 million spins, also Cher was a backup singer for this song
I was in High School and we loved these guys. Thanks for playing them for us and your comments are right on.
One of my absolute favourite songs, just started learning how to play this on my acoustic guitar, this song always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it 😊
Loved, loved loved your reaction to these 2 wonderful singers we loved in the 60s. The tall guy is Bill Medley, still going strong today. Succulent!!!
If you've ever seen the movie Dirty Dancing Bill Medley is the male voice on "I've Had the Time of My Life"
I love your reaction to this soulful song.
That is true -- THEY were the talent. No special effects needed.
I'm old enough to remember when this song came out. The most played song of the 20th century.
Pure music, pure talent, goosebump feelings hearing them.
60’s music cannot be beat, and never will be, IMHO!!
These guys give you hope for humanity! ----- with the help of music like this maybe we can survive the idiocy around us today and live on as a nation and as a people!!!!
Yes! They bring back that inspiration we used to have! It is a reminder of what we once had, but possibly can attain again. The tears streamed when I heard this again.
I saw Bill Medley once for the price of a drink in Lake Tahoe once. It was a great night! Snowing outside and listening to him.
When youngins hear our music it is so rewarding. Oh and no autotune
This is real, true, honest TALENT. I am beyond grateful to be a Baby Boomer and was blessed to hear the fabulous music of the ‘60s and 70s in real time, with real musicians and real talent and real staying power.
Love how bobby is just chilling in the background while the other one sings. He's a G
I like near the end when the two are standing shoulder to shoulder. They are both letting loose and their bodies and voices are "flexing".
The taller one with the baritone is Bill Medley. He's still around - turned 80 late last year.
Loved that voice
He was also the male voice in the duet at the end of dirty dancing
They are angels for this time. You love them like I knew the whole world would
I was a teenager when this was released. They had to be able to perform without any other equipment.
The music of the 60's and 70's was just Majic!!!
Bill Medley is the baritone. He's still alive.
Btw, this song was the most played song of the 20th century.
Have a great day.
He's still alive AND he was actually on tour when the COVID lockdowns happened, just a couple of weeks shy of coming to my hometown to perform. Hopefully I'll be able to see him on the rescheduled concert date!
@@sadfaery He'll be in Phoenix Az November 12th. " Mommy, please may I go?"
We loved them ! I was only 12 and had such a crush on him
Just subscribed. Love your genuine reactions. You have a lovely spirit and shine bright. I love looking back in time with these old videos. Brings back wonderful memories and helped many of us get through 2020. You are a blessing. Thanks from South Carolina.
South Carolina is Sooooo beautiful...I am happy you enjoyed your time with me! We need all the help we can get to make it through these days...thank you for subscribing❤️
I feel compelled to add two more comments. First...I grew up with this kind of music. My generation had so many different artists to appreciate back then. So as I watch "younger" people enjoying the songs that were of that era, I can't help but feel a little sad that they don't have anything to compare to this today. Second....no one ever reacts to what I find is just as fun in this video as the music itself. Did you notice how "cool as the center seed of a cucumber" Bobby is just sitting back there waiting for his turn to sing? It's as if he's thinking: "Well, time for me to get up and join in now"
This song is slamming because it's actually called Blue eyes soul. Lot of people now know it because it was used in the movie top gun. But the righteous Brothers was one of the few blue-eyed soul Stars that passed every line including the racial line.
❤️❤️❤️

Please react to a 1974 jam released by jazz legend Miles Davis' wife:
*They Say I'm Different*
Betty Davis
I think you might be pleasantly surprised.
👊😉
It wasn't just the song. A radio disc jockey coined the tern "blue eyed soul" in reference to the Righteous Brothers themselves.
They still do!
One of the best live performances by anyone, EVER!
Sorry bud, This is lipsynced . It's the studio version.
"Soul and Inspiration" Righteous Brothers
"See That Girl" is worth a listen; beautiful reaction; love your composed facial expressions🌹✨💖
BLUE EYED SOUL dear.
Oh thank you!
I have fond memories driving around in my 55 Chevy listening to my Righteous Bros 4-track tapes.....lovely days!
I'm well known for my ability to discern what other people are saying when they are trying to hide their true feelings--its like a sixth sense.
I'm picking up that you rather liked this! :
This was the first record I bought with my first wage when I was 15,and it STILL sounds terrific ( the performance, not the record, a vinyl 45RPM, after i'd played it to destruction, it crackled and banged more than WW2!
Great reaction., so good to see someone your age getting the same you from this that I did.
Well, not quite, I got to dance to it with chicks at the local youth club hop!
Oh...I like this alright...I can’t really describe in words what it does but there is feel good thing about this music...I would to this anytime...it makes me want to hug...smile...you know what the song itself makes me feel like it is hugging 🤗 me!!!❤️
@@DrewsClues I could describe in words what it does to you--it makes you yearn for romance with a man who would love you deeply.
I hope you find it :-)
Btw, your "LIke" button doesn'y work, I clicked it,
Doesn't bother me, but I'm letting you know in case it effects your monetarisation or search ranking?
Watching from England , Thankyou for your reaction I’m 78 and it brought back such great memories it made me cry.
Just imagine all bill had to do was start singing and the ladies melted
I love reactions like yours where you really FEEL the music and recognize how incredible it is.
“You are my soul and inspiration” Righteous Brothers. Also, if you would like to hear a real singer sing live, try Judy Garland singing “Old Man River” on her tv show from 1963. It is on you tube. You will be impressed.
