      auto tune did not exist, the others did and were used in movie musicals but was not accepted by promoters or audiences live. and even in the studio you had to sing like that.

    This was my mom and dad's song. We played it at her funeral and dad got up to lean over and hold her while swaying as if like a last dance. You could hear tissues being pulled from boxes when he did that. He died 6 months later from a broken heart. RIP mom and dad.

    Bobby Hatfield is an operatic tenor, and his range extends up into the counter tenor range (where a man's voice is so high it sounds like a woman's voice). He is phenomenal. What makes the Righteous Brothers so amazing, though, is that Bill Medley is a Bass/Baritone. Their harmonies are like nothing we get to hear anymore. RIP, Bobby. Check out 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' to hear them both singing.

    the Righteous Brother are the pioneers of "Blue-eyed Soul" genre. This genre had white musicians/songwriters/singers who had vocals, wrote music, and played instruments that capture the Soul music of Motown, Blues, Gospel, and Jazz. They sounded like the artists of the American Blacks and composed songs of Black people's music of the 50's, 60's & 70's earning them a category in music History as "Blue-Eyed Soul. The Righteous Brothers were the pioneers of that movement.

    This cover of the song is the definitive version. Bobby just nails it. He was sick with a cold, too, at that, and still hit something like 93 different notes spot on! His parents were in the audience so he was nervous, to boot. I love the lip bite at the end like he knew he did it! What a vocal. I can't think of a better one. To hear more, you'll get a chance to see Bill Medley's deep vocals as counterpoint to Bobby's higher range. Bobby was a rare counter tenor. You've Lost that Loving Feeling is a good next one by them. :)

      Not many people have a voice of his quality though. Autotune gets criticized too often as it allows us to hear some singers that aren't as strong as others and without it we just wouldn't hear them, when in reality they are good singers. No, not top tare like this, but good nonetheless.

Bobby and Bill were on ture in 2003. in November they were to sing in Kalamazoo MI. just an hour from my house. Bobby didn't show on time to start thet show. They found him dead in is hotel room from an apparent heart attack at age 63. Bill is actually still alive. it is uncanny that This tape of Bobby still sends chills up and down the spine to young people, and melts the girls in their computer chairs.
