They were special, no auto tune, just talent.
Songs today are autotuned and you could hear the difference
Omg I’m 70 years old and I’ve never seen that performance! Thanks for this reaction ❤️☮️👵🏼
I’m almost in 73, and it’s the first time I ever saw/heard this song. I love it. ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👏👏👏
Me too!!
Me neither
74, me too
@Sharon Pate Same! 67 and so proud to say I got to see them in concert once in my life time. It was an anniversary trip to Dallas I'll never forget. My husband has passed but it's one of my most treasured memories I have. 💞
Damn… I knew they were soulful , but this is the most soulful I’ve ever heard Bobby’s sing… And this is really saying something!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love all those breaks and cracks he has in his voice. That’s how you do it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here!
Otherworldly performance.
Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley are the Righteous Brothers. On each of their albums each one would sing one solo song.
The audience had no idea these two were a once in a lifetime duo. Next level talent and soul. I’m glad to see them getting love from the younger generation. Respect.
The extra irony is that "Summertime" is a George Gershwin song ----- you know, that nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn, and he based it on a 19th century Ukrainian lullaby called "Ой ходить сон коло вікон." Soul is a state of mind, and those who have it magically appear anywhere, any time, to keep us sane and keep us fine.
I have not heard this song from Bobby in over 56 years and he knocked it out of the cotton field in my opinion.
So appreciate the reactions of intelligent young people such as yourself. I believe that Bobby Hatfield, in his day, was the very best.
One day when I was in high school, I was standing on the sidewalk along the school drive at lunchtime, when a car drove up and Bill Medley and Bo Diddly got out. They asked the way to the auditorium and gave an inpromptu performance for those of us lucky enough to be in the area at the right time, then they left. It's still hard to believe I witnessed that. A great memory.
Oh, WOW!
I can picture it now. Two music legends, just hanging out one day, decided, "Let's jam! Wait! There's a SCHOOL nearby. Let's go there, and give a show to the kids! It'll be FUN!"
Just performing for the sheer love of music, and seeking out an audience to share it with, one fine day. Awwwww.
Bobby had an insane range, no falsetto 😀❤️
You are spot on! Bobby's vocal range was awesome, so singing falsetto was not something he did or needed to do.
He was a counter tenor which allows him to have that high light sound.
@@colleengaskill2792 Thank you, Straight to the point!👍👍
@@knightdragon5640 counter tenors can sing higher vocals naturally where a falsetto is more forced
@@knightdragon5640 Your right. Falsettos have a more breathy quality to it. Bobby was in full head sound. That's a mark of a good counter tenor.
I LOVED YOUR REACTION!! Both of the guys were amazing, but this performance was INCREDIBLE! Bobby(RIP) sounded and looked like an angel. When you ran outta the room, I couldn't stop laughing lol. Great reaction great 👍
Yeeah, I loved it! So genuine!
I sure appreciate that a young man such as you recognizes the unbelievable talent of The Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield was the ice and Bill Medley was the fire. I fell in love to their music, had my heart broken and found solice in their music. “Summertime” is a famous ballad sung by many people. I think it came from “Porgy and Bess” a black musical.
Bobby's ta l ent exceeded all singers . now we have kd Lang, but their styles are entirely different.
Bobby is irreplaceable and we miss him.
listen to Crying in the chaple for pure sweet rendition. Then try to get it out of your mind: it won't go.
You are, as am I, old. We know just how superior Bill and Bobby's music was to any other similar singers. Their b&w videos are timeless, as are the voices of either or as the best duo to ever sing. I was a DJ during their prime and became friends will Bill, after bobby's passing. His shows in Branson were outstanding, and three times as much when his son and daughter joined him.
Porgy and Bess was written by George and Ira Gershwin but had an all black cast. It was written in an operatic style but had spoken dialogue like a musical whereas in an opera everything is sung. These two destroy the old trope that white singers can't sing soul. So did another favorite of mine the English singer Dusty Springfield, who would be another great react for you.
This song was covered by Sam Cooke, who was shot to death a year earlier. The Righteous Brothers recorded this song in memory of him.
@@LaptopLarry330 Sam was such a legend. What a wonderful singer. The homicide is still officially unsolved although there are theories floating around.
And this was before auto tune had been invented. Just incredible talent.
Out of the two, who had quite different voices which is what made them so good together, Bobby had the most independent talent.
You are sooo right!
Both of these guys had miraculous voices. When we first heard them in the late 60s and 70s, we were stunned by the cuts that we heard on AM radio. Bobby Hatfield is probably the most underrated (in pop culture) vocalist ever. Bill medley attempted a solo career that wasn't very successful. Bobby probably could have done it, but his image was so squeaky clean and collegiate, that it got in the way of his raw musical depth and virtuosity. They were popular when UD Sullivan was still editing out Elvis below the waist.
Bobby's second best love performance....thank you for covering it,....he was a black singer in a white skin..... The best.
They were fantastic.... am about to turn 81, and had all their records back in the day... so glad this generation is checking out the music from my younger days. We had Lots of great songs... even in the 40s the music was great... hope you continue to check out some of the "oldies"... there were a lot of very talented singers and musicians ... God Bless
81 not out well done 😜
Hello young lady, hope you're doing well.
The quality of instrumental and voice is overall better the farther back you go. We still had it going on in the 70s and 80s because those performers had grown up with the Righteous Brothers and such. It starts going south in the 90s.
Holy crap! I'm 66 and never saw this either. THANK YOU! I've thought Janis' cover was the best after Ella BUT wow both are Amazing and spine tingling.
Younger people HAVE No CHOICE if they want to hear MALE VOCALISTS
I LIKE BILLY STEWART'S SUMMERTIME as well
I'm so glad to see today's generation appreciating the love songs from my era the 50's ! Great days, The Happy Days !😁
They have to, for them to hear decent MALE VOCALISTS
This is the quality of songwriting that just doesn’t exist anymore. Yes, this makes you wanna slap somebody, it’s soooo goood.
Neither does the quality of singing.
Ella Fitzgerald was the original artist to sing this song
Ruby Elzy was the singer in the original Broadway production (1935) of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.
@@kris6468 A 1937 recording is on UA-cam. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/CFCBba2UuWo/v-deo.html
I beg to differ. Check out "Snuff" by Slipknot. It will surprise you. Righteous Bros do have phenomenal voice talent, though.
Pretty obvious how they got the tag 'blue eyed soul' isn't it. Thank you for reacting to some of their more obscure performances of which there were many. Bobby was my fave and so happy he did solos as they both did. Greatest duo who gave us soul, rock and hop all rolled in one. RIP Bobby Hatfield you will be missed forever. They
were regulars on Shin Dig.
They were regulars on the TV show Shindig from 1964-1966 so there's many old b/w videos of them singing together or solo like this song "Summertime". They sing their 1st recorded song "Little Latin Lupa Loo" that launched their career in 1963 Bill wrote on the show.
Now THAT’S blue - eyed soul. I remember him singing his turn in “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin”, and I really needed to hear more of Bobby. He blew me away with his high pitch and the oassion in his voice. Love the Righteous Brothers!
I'll be 67 this year, but my Sister would have been 77 years old & most of the 50's and 60's music I listened because I was always with her.
If you love the Righteous Brothers (and if you don't love them, you have no soul), and love how these white boys have so much soul, I recommend Buddy Holly and the Crickets, the first white band to play the Apollo.
They were booked, thanks to being heard on the radio. Then they arrived, and everyone was SHOCKED to see these white boys walk in (all very humble and respectful and SO HAPPY TO BE THERE), and there was some nervousness about them appearing on stage at a historically black theater.
Then, they started playing, and the crowd went wild with delight!
Buddy Holly had a short life and shorter career, but he CHANGED Rock and Roll, forever.
And speaking of looking out of place and SO HAPPY TO BE THERE, please watch Peter Hollens (featuring MatPat) performing the theme song to Game of Thrones. Peter plays most of the characters, and they all seem like they have seen some $h!%, while MatPat, playing Bran, is just happy as a puppy with a new little boy. Also, the song is GORGEOOUS. And the subtitles are hilarious. I recommend "watching" the video with your eyes closed, to hear the amazing music, entirely made by the human mouth and body, then watching it again, to see the visuals.
You have a new subscriber in me, sir! I LOVE watching your honest and heart-felt reactions. You listen to music with your WHOLE BODY, and I am HERE for it!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful wonderful fantastic fabulous rendition of this song.
I had never heard Bobby sing this song. It is not my favorite performance of his but he did it justice for sure. It is amazing when you know they performed live without digital correction.
In 1965, there was a weekday daytime TV series on CBS entitled "Something Special". The Righteous Brothers were a guest on an episode of the show. "Summertime" was an album cut on their 1965 album, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". The Righteous Brothers made frequent appearances on the 1960s ABC prime-time Rock music program, "Shindig". On that TV show, The Righteous Brothers teamed up with The Blossoms (an African-American female singing trio) to sing a cover of the Ray Charles hit song, "The Night Time (Is The Right Time)". All of the singers cut loose, and sing their hearts out on that song. The TV performance by The Righteous Brothers And The Blossoms is available for viewing here on UA-cam.
Absolutely brilliant I'm 69 and I've never heard this song thank you for this young man ❤
Everybody has a soul, but its altogether different when you got soul.
Thanks for a great reaction! This song is from Porgy and Bess, and it's been covered 34,000 times. So I knew it before I heard Bobby sing it. And his version is different, but he sure did have soul!
They both did solos under the name of The Righteous Brothers,it gave each an opputunity to shine in their own and stretch their singing abilities,while still being a dual.
Im older than most and have never seen that performance. It was incredible. Raw talent at its best. Thank you for sharing!
Best yet from Bobby. They are all great but this is a masterpiece. Wow. Thanks for this.❤️❤️ 🎶
Got the Chills hearing Bobby again. This tune was over 50 years ago. My Sound Systems sound so Good now,
They brought an entirely new flavor of music to mainstream America. And we are all better-off for that.
You got me laughing over here. I'm so happy you got to discover what I grew up on. Im 70 years old and my older brothers was listening to this music. And I liked it to I was 13 when he did thus song
Unchained Melody was as high as 4 in the US and 1 in the UK in 1965, then that recording was back in the top ten in 1990 after it was used in Ghost, and RB re-recorded their biggest hits that year (their Reunion album), and that 1990 recording was top 20 in the US while the original was also on the charts.
The ‘Brothers’ always put on a Vegas type show at their concerts rather than just sing. They were the first rock an roll act to headline in Las Vegas, whee they were brought in by Frank Sinatra and they played there off and on for their entire career. And yes, they started out with hard rock and roll which they sang for three years before they did their first ballad (You’ve Lost that Lovin Feeling). They were always an R&B duo at heart…. Try ‘I Just Wanna make Love to You”. Bill doing Delta blues….Ot “B Side Blues” for both of them….😁
B side Blues

Thank you so much, didn’t know this song sung by Bobby , so fantastic
I’ve loved Bobby & Bill for decades! This great old song has been recorded by many artists, and the blue eyed soul brothers did it Justice ☮️💜💫💎
OMG, the late Bobby Hatfield! His voice was so awesome! No auto tunes, just pure raw talent! I was in high school when they came out. I still have their vinyl record albums in my collection. I still play their CD'S in my car! ❤️ ❤️❤️
Enjoyed your reaction so much! Thank you 😊 Righteous Brothers are timeless!

Bobby Hatfield, my favorite singer was a Contra-Tenor. Check out Bobby singing "Summertime". Bobby singing "My Prayer" Bobby and Bill (Medley) together were amazing. Check them out on the Ed Sullivan Show, "You'll never walk alone"; The Andy Williams Show (Unchained Melody) They were on the "Shindig" TV show. Check out "Mix -Righteous Brothers Shindig appearances" They were together until early 70's, split for a while, Bill going solo and Bobby solo and singing with another guy. They got back together a few years later and performed until Bobby sadly passed away in Nov.2003, A few months before his passing, they were inducted into the R and R Hall of fame. Bill is still performing with Bucky Heard as the "Righteous Brothers" but no one, in my opinion, will ever top the wonderful and amazing Bobby Hatfield. Together Bob and Bill were magic. * They always sang LIVE. ***They were the opening act for the Beatles on their first tour of America until the boys signed on to the Shindig TV show. Sally
A good introduction of information and inspiration.
Great reaction!
When I hear 'summertime' my mind goes straight to 'In the Summertime' by Mungo Jerry.
I had completely forgotten about this song even though I listened to it on the radio hundreds of times back then.
Thanks for the memories!
Bobby’s talent is off the scale. Out of this world.
Porky & Bess has some of the most fantastic songs covered by many many people
And what a wild story that is!
75 year old lady but this is one I missed Just absolutely WOWED me and your reaction to his voice was absolutely amazing thanks for sharing . Definitely will look for you again enjoyable experience
That's the "imma steal your girl" type of dude back in the days.
You can tell they were getting all the women lol
@@MMBxMOB we all know those "thousands of letters" were not from the dudes
This is so live !!!!! Your reaction is amazing .
Bobby IS the man .
@@MMBxMOB, old friends have indeed comfirmed they did 😉
It was SOPRANO opera style, in PORGY AND BESS (a lullaby)
First time I've heard this version
I like Billy STEWART'S version as well
God I LOVE❤ these guys. The goosebump!🎉 I am 59 and have loved them since I can remember❤
This is the first time I'm hearing Bobby do this. How does this man have SO much soul? He seemed to be lost in performance. Bobby is the greatest and we miss him so much.
I adored Bobby Hatfield. May he rest in peace. They were usually invited to perform on other shows.
Thank you for your honest reaction to this song by Bobby Hatfield!!! Written in the 1930's and has been covered by many people. I first heard this song in the early 60's as an instrumental. I hadn't heard this by Bobby in a very long time and I had forgotten what I was missing. So glad you loved it! ❤❤❤❤😊😮
Summertime was originally from the play“ porgy and Bess”. You should watch that play I'm sure you could find it there's been TV productions of it. And it was originally a lullaby. The lullaby is what I sang to my kids when they were babies in the style of porgy and Bess. The jazz up version isn't my favorite but it definitely gives Bobby a chance to show off solo in something different than Unchained melody.
That falsetto part before you stopped it literally sent chills up my spine - just wow
Summertime is a jazz standard composed in 1934, 'Summertime' by George Gershwin for his brand-new opera Porgy and Bess which consisted of mostly black actors/singers. The jazz-inspired song is a lullaby for Clara to sing to her child, and it is reprised several more times throughout the opera.
Your reaction made a depressed dude smile. Thanks. lol
Your reaction is priceless. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were in pain, from hearing some horrible, painfully bad music. But, no. That is you writhing and running in pure delight! I LOVE IT!
The music is amazing, and you, sir, are a pleasure, in your own right.
beautiful song, they were fantastic! I loved their music.
I LOVE your reaction and your keep saying Bobby! He really was an outstanding vocalist…I Love Love Love his voice!
Now you know why it is called Blue eyed soul. Their talent is amazing
That's the master of the Blue eyed soul...
It's so funny to see this clean cut white boy belt that out. There were a lot of variety TV shows in the 60ss and 70s. So you can see these performers there.
Thank you to you great young people for rediscovering the great music from my days! So great then! So great now! Glad y’all are relistening and appreciating the awesome music of my generation!
This was a great reaction from you but I had never heard this before and that was a treat in itself!
Such an amazing talent that we are lucky to come across once in a generation.
Another once in a generation talent is 16 years old Angelina Jordan from Norway. At the age of 6 and while travelling with her family in another country, she came across a shoeless girl who had a bathroom scale for people to weight themselves on in exchange for some coins. Angelina struck a conversation with that girl and without prompting from anyone in her family, she gave her shoes to the orphan girl. That evening she wrote about that encounter in her diary and vowed to always sing barefoot when doing that in public to remember that girl and to remind all of us about the many needy children around the world. 3 years later at the age of 9,she wrote and published a book about that encounter making her Norway’s youngest published author. She was interviewed on TV about her book during the week when it was released, but just before the interview she performed a short version of “Unchained Melody”. Here are the links to that interview and her performance. ua-cam.com/video/wPfMzMeBLbo/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/v-deo.html
I would very much appreciate if you react to both of these videos together. She also performed Summertime on the finale of Norway Got Talent. ua-cam.com/video/443pBSpx5B4/v-deo.html
And later on with an orchestra. ua-cam.com/video/stwF4ti1tbc/v-deo.html
She will have a very positive impact on you.
Angelina’s fans who she calls her Angels, will flood your channel with subscriptions and comments.
Thank you and keep up the good work from a new subscriber.
A Righteous Bros song that I haven't heard yet and Bobby knocked it out of the park.
Always loved this song & have been singing it since my teens (or 20s? Can’t remember) My mom, who came from the big band & jazz era), never mentioned the Righteous Brothers to me. Guess she forgot! This song has been covered beautifully by many different artists, in many different styles. Bobby’s voice is quite something isn’t it? Lol😅 thx for funny reaction
Fantastic what a voice
Your reaction is the best one ever. You didn't over react in a silly way but a comical way that was real for you. Thank you.
This song is from Porgy and Bess, a George Gershwin play/musical. It was my favorite song from Porgy and Bess but this was the first time I've heard Bobby do it. Jazz blues all the way - dang, he's good.
Its really nice to watch and hear a beautiful poetic duo from about sixty years ago which would make me around 7.....I truly enjoy your videos and I am glad that these musicians are being appreciated again by the young you
I love Bobby Hatfield unchained melodies my favorite song and I have never heard this before. Thank you so much this guy has got to be the most phenomenal singer I have ever heard
Great reaction. You did it justice. RIP Bobby
I did nothing… Bobby did it ALL
@@MMBxMOB My favourite by Bobby is Unchained Melody. Best voice and version of that song.
And Ebb Tide.. and Stay with me … and never walk alone… and … and … ❤❤
I've heard this by a number of artists, but not his rendition. Love it!
The Righteous Brothers were a little bit before my time but I heard them on the oldies but goodies stations. What I had not heard until UA-cam were these LIVE recordings. They are so much MORE than the album/radio versions! Wow! I did not realize how crazy Bobby's voice was! You gotta realize this was BEFORE it became trendy to do these runs with your voice (which people over do today). The tempo changes, voice technique - the smooth runs here are perfection! AND ALL LIVE, no enhancements.
I saw them in concert before they were really famous. They were so good!
Wait until you hear the Vinyl Album: "Porgy and Bess" by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald singing -- smooth as silk.
This music was written for the Broadway Musical: "Porgy and Bess", one of the saddest plays I have ever seen, much like a Tragic Opera.
(Ella Fitzgerald is on a You Tube Channel showing her sing the same song; at 68 years old. Posted June 21, 2010).
In the original play this was a soothing lullaby.
As someone who listened to them in the '60s, I love watching people discover the Righteous Brothers now. It may have already been suggested, but if you haven't reacted to them doing "I Just Want To Make Love to You", you're in for a real treat... ua-cam.com/video/Udyqprq46b0/v-deo.html (audio only, but still incredible).
im so glad to see people reacting to this now... i still love "unchained melody" and "you've lost that loving feeling"... but this one really gets me.
Back in the day, during the Summer, there were short lived "Variety Shows" that filled in for the networks. Otherwise, there would only be regular 13 week schedule shows shown again. What we called Re-runs. Year round, there was a "Movie of the Week", and other programs that we don't see done today since cable. I loved this version. I think my fav version of this song is still Janice Joplin (now we know where she got the idea), and Fantasia Barino did a great version on American Idol. Good post MMB. New Subscriber. God's blessing on your channel little brother.
Bobby always packed a punch in the middle. He never disappoints.
Oh My God. I love Righteous Brothers and Summertime but I've never heard this before. Bobby is a gift. That's all I can say. This was so amazing. Subscribed 😊😊
The song Summertime is from a “Folk Opera” written by George Gershwin in 1935
Darlin', back in the day singers and groups dressed to the hilt. Clean as the Board of Health! They dressed to impress, not (please don't be offended) as if they just crawled out from UNDER a bed like today. We liked our men clean, dressed as if they thought we deserved "special".
Yeah, thanks for going there. I've never heard this before. Wow.
Summertime was composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. Even today young people sing this today, and shockingly, have no clue who wrote it. "George who?" Sad commentary on the state if average people in our country have no clue of their cultural and popular musical heritage in Ellington, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Simon, Carole King, Holland Dozier and Holland, from any era. Of course the general media doesn't want you to know because it makes no money for them. The throwaway culture. The good thing is I see below many commenters do mention where this song came from....a brilliant enough song that it has been done by different generations and hasn't been forgotten. Musical education and knowledge makes one a well rounded person rather than a one dimensional, one genre slave to the cultural cash register. thanks to You Tube people are discovering music outside their own little world created for them by the corporate media plyalists.
If you haven't heard it yet, check out a Bill singing I Just Wanna Make Love to You with Bobby adding a little backup. Amazing!
that was brilliant and your reaction is amazing love it
They had a TV Special but it wasn't until 1983 and done from the Sunshine Strip. But this appearance was at least 15 years earlier.
A little history. I was raised up during their reign. I was and still
a huge fan of them, especially Bobby. I was devastated when he died.
Bobby passed away in a hotel room from cardiac arrest brought on by cocaine that was found in his system. Bill found him because he was late for a show. I listen to every reaction video about them. He was one of the greatest of all time. Pure blue eyed soul! I know he is in rock n roll heaven and they have a hell of a band. But I miss him!
You had to do it. News flash: he was going to have that heart attack anyway and soon, according to the medical examiner. 90%+ blockage in arteries. So tired of talk about that trace amount of cocaine.
He was an incredible singer and an incredible human being. Focus on that.
Greatest Duo ever...ICONIC! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can't get enough of you reaction to the blue eyed soul!
And that is blue eyed soul.
Hung on you... My favorite righteous brothers tune.
Each one did solos, but they still were together. Both could get down and funky.
I. Am. Dying. Here. Why haven’t I heard this version before? I love listening to them but haven’t heard this one. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Peace. Unchained Melody is considered most beautiful song amongst all Rock-n- Roll music. Am in agreement! Have enjoyed watching you appreciating one of my favorite singers from way back when. Peace.
I love your reactions to the righteous brothers a fan of yours from Australia 😂
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺thank you!!!
If you like that song, Summertime, you have to react to Janis Joplim singing it! Bobby is second only to her doing it.
I, like the other replies, am over 70 and remember them well on the radio.
I’m so glad I clicked on this video. I’m hearing this for the first time too. I know Bobby can sing like no one, but damn this surprised me.
71 and this was a great performance. They were steeped in R&B, their roots for sure.
Hi from Australia. Great reaction. Didn't know this version so thanks very much
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺love to Australia! Thank you
