He went through 20 notes in that performance. He was a octave higher after 10. And he hit G5 at the end. Something few humans can do. And not once did he strain. There will never be another like Bobby Hatfield.
@Fuck Google Freddie indeed was a great singer with great range. But I don't think even he ever was capable of hitting G5. There are few human beings that can. But to answer your question, that note is at the very top. And Hatfield did it like it was just a stroll through the park.
@Fuck Google that's a tough one. They were both incredible - to this day can give chills with their recordings. Too me Freddie had more to give though - sang, danced, wrote music, played instruments, etc.
And that young lady is simply the best musical performance ever. You are fortunate to be so young that you have the opportunity to see many others down the road and reflect on true excellence
This is the best TV performance ever. I was 15 yrs when I watched him sing this beautiful song in 1965. He has a beautiful voice. At 72 yrs old I still get goosebumps everytime I hear him sing. This is Bobbys song! RIP Bobby! We miss you! ❤❤❤❤
The quintessential love song. No one does it better than Bobby Hatfield. It’s a shame people can’t sing like this today. This is live. No autotune. He does it with ease. From what I hear the hottest song on UA-cam.Thx for playing it.
What you should REALLY be surprised at is the number of "young" AND even "middle-aged" people who don't realize they may NEVER have existed if their mothers had not heard Bobby Hatfield singing this song at some time in their life and then gone home with the individual who became that person's father. This song has always had that effect on the female of our species. Lol. God bless each and every one of those sensitive females..and God bless Bobby Hatfield also. rotflmao.
@@janewhite5033 She may be high but she IS appreciating this performance at a level I've never seen very few reach! If I'm incorrect I apologize right here and in PUBLIC, but your comment seems to imply a bias against those who choose to participate in the use of "recreational" drugs, so I have to ask...do you EVER imbibe alcohol? Just curious, because if she IS high, it's obviously not on any drug stronger than "pot" (and that word in parenthesis should tell you how old I am). No antagonism meant...I'm a curious sort of individual.

From the Andy Williams show
I’ve heard this song millions of time but have only seen this version in last few months. Wow! Not only can he sing but also such a cutie. If I was alive back then, I’d be swooning! Thx 🙏
I too have heard this many times, and recently discovered this absolute gem. I am blown away by the effortlessness in which he belts this out. Story going around is his parents were there, and maybe this was the first time they were hearing him in person. If so, even more amazing, and the lip bite at the end could very well mean this is true. That look at the end conveys a lot if emotion that would seem to support that story.
Bobby Hatfield (Rip 1940-2003) was a legendary tenor, arguably the greatest ever. Perfect pronunciation and vowels singing. He sang this solo and was his achievement. Beautiful voice 👌
I smile when I watch women reacting to this song...their eyes sparkle, they lick their lips and smile and they tingle ALL OVER...love it. Bobby Hatfield on beast mode. Legend!
Side note is that Bobby Hatfield was nervous before the show. He and Bill Medley scheduled to be on a variety show called Andy Williams' show televised. Reason for his nervousness is that his mother was in the audience.
Let's set the scene: Mid 60's, no autotune. His parents were in the audience watching him sing live for the first time. He was way more nervous than usual. Oh yeah, and live TV, no do-overs. You had to have RAW TALENT to perform flawlessly like that back then. Bobby Hatfield had it, plus some. Requiescat In Pace.
Ledzepisbest, hat field was amazing!!! However there's others that are a head of him!! Such has the greatest that I've ever heard. The great Jackie wilson!!!
The incomparable Bobby Hatfield. The duo didn't write this song but man Bobby's version is not just the standard... it's the minimal standard! Few men can achieve this level of performance. For those that can... respect!!
He sang it,nailed it and put in his back pocket. It's his song how and for ever, not even the great Elvis or anybody today and forever come close. RIP Bob by its yours
So I’ve been writing music since I was six. I right everything from country, New metal, heavy-metal , death metal I play 12 insurance so vocally I’m my own growler. The reason a men can hit higher notes then females is (in some cases) because it is harder to train your voice to go deeper baritone/ bass then it is to go higher even hight Tanner vocals. It’s the wind Power(Lung capacity) And vocal cord strength that makes it possible in the first place. That’s my take. Because not everyone has a “perfect pitch”
i'm so glad Bobby got to her with his first vocal inflections a minute into the song...he lit her up like a fire suddenly. I'm old white guy who taught music, I like this girl, she's got some finesse and talent, and could do well singing jazz and r and b. Many like Nora Jones and others have gone back to the old music and discovered younger listeners really like it. This music is all new to them. For the young, The Righteous Brothers was based in R and B music. This is the finest version of this song you will ever hear, Elvis included.
Bobby Hatfield solo. He performs with Bill Medley on other hits. You’ve lost that loving feeling was most listened to song in 20th century. Black marines in Harlem heard them in said you brothers are Righteous. Hence Righteous Brothers.
Hi there I'm 67 years old from Chicago and enjoy spending my time with you your fun and I enjoy being there with you you must listen to The dells always together and The delfonics let it be me and the one by Jerry Butler and Betty wright let it be me you will enjoy these records because at that time our music was a phenomenon please enjoy them I wish you God's blessing
The song was written between 1954 and 1955. In 1955 there were 4 versions by 4 separate artist. When the Righteous Brothers got this it became theirs, well more Bobby Hatfield's; his version is the standard that many are compared to. Both Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had songs in US Films, Bobby's unchained Medley appeared in Ghost with Demi Moore Whoopi Goldberg, and Patrick Swayze and Bill Medley's sang Time of my life with Jennifer Warnes, Starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Cynthia Rhodes ( hell of a soundtrack ) On this live performance his Mother ( possibly dad ) is in the audience. At the end he bites his lip as he knows he nailed this song. There are thousands of covers of this song, sung by Elvis, Robson and Jerome many, many others many come close, but none beat Bobby's rendition. Basic history: from Wikipedia: "Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the little-known prison film Unchained (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages. Of the hundreds of recordings made, the Righteous Brothers'( Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley ) version in July 1965, with a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became the jukebox standard after its release. Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of the song are based on his version. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when it was featured in the film Ghost in 1990. In 2004, it was Number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
I saw u in a group reaction and thought I've got to come home and watch the original. U seemed laid back almost bored until Bobby belted that 1st 1. Then it was game on! Loved it. Up there with ur one scotch one whiskey one beer... that was the intro?
I know you usually love to rock-out, SC, but that you chose this much-loved ballad means so much to me and, I'm sure, most of your other "listeners." Those were "true" high notes, not a "falsetto" that most singers perform.
Loved it all! Some, of many things I like about you, is that you listen to the words and the melody. You don't fidget with your clothes or your hair. You don't interrupt too often or in the wrong places. Your facial expressions: Eyes, Smile, etc. tell us whether you like the song or not. You don't stare down the camera (like you've never been in front of one before). You tell it like it is! Thank you!
I feel like this song is going to make a 3rd coming. Recently the reactions to this song is coming in strong, and all happening during quarantine... First when it was released, second when the movie Ghost came out, now social media making it's 3rd come back...
I am 2 years younger than Bobby Hatfield would be if he were still alive and I absolutely love watching young men and women react to him singing this, the most beautiful of love songs. Others great singers have sung this song, but Bobby owns it!
I liked how you were outputting about 2000 words per minute at first, then you were totally into the song, resulting into your machinewordgunning going down to near 0... respect!
I read he hit 20 notes (!!!!) in this song...truly epic. no gadgets either. oh and your vid is great ! Pls watch it folks...my only complaint...too short a vid !!
Ok...for starters, I'm amazed that I have electricity given the path of Isaias. Then, there's your amazing reaction to the blue-eyed soul. Yes, my folks have soul, and we consider you a long-lost female relative that we need to parade around on our shoulders. You completely get it, and we love you incredibly. A big "thumbs up" from the 60 + cousins. Yeah, we've adopted you. Your reaction was spot-on perfect, but my question is: How could you have not heard this song? I mean, it's everywhere. Doesn't matter--you're awesome as always. Sending the love from the VA/NC state line with the Southern Drawl, amazing pulled pork barbecue, Brunswick stew, and Carolina Beach music. So much love for our little girl. You keep doing what you do. We love you for it.
For a deeper perspective of the lyrics, the song was originally written for a movie called "the prisoner". The husband is serving a long sentence and wrote this in a letter to his young wife who was having an affair with one of the prison guards and looking to leave the country with him. Makes the song so much more emotional in its meaning.
they are not actually brothers, they were singing at a club and someone in the audience yelled out "that's righteous brother". Bill Melody sat this song out because he didn't think it would be popular
He went through 20 notes in that performance. He was a octave higher after 10. And he hit G5 at the end. Something few humans can do. And not once did he strain. There will never be another like Bobby Hatfield.
Hope he's resting in peace

All about freddies vocals
@Fuck Google i understand it from all of my years in chorus, choirs, hanging with bands. I've learned a lot in 50 years
@Fuck Google that's a tough one. They were both incredible - to this day can give chills with their recordings. Too me Freddie had more to give though - sang, danced, wrote music, played instruments, etc.
And that young lady is simply the best musical performance ever. You are fortunate to be so young that you have the opportunity to see many others down the road and reflect on true excellence
I love the "let's see what else he got" comment! Because he's gonna bring it!
That's what I thought when he started that last run of high notes... wait for it, there's more.
There isn't a woman in the world who has heard this and hasn't totally swooned. Welcome to the club.
Me too,gay Guy 73 in the UK.
Shush now Levin you filthy animal
@@MrSwifts31this man made me happy I am not gay. Because no man would ever be good enough after hearing this voice. I would be alone forever 😂
This is the best TV performance ever. I was 15 yrs when I watched him sing this beautiful song in 1965. He has a beautiful voice. At 72 yrs old I still get goosebumps everytime I hear him sing. This is Bobbys song! RIP Bobby! We miss you! ❤❤❤❤

I’m always surprised at the amount of people who’ve never heard this one. But you guys are so young ! Music is good for the soul. ❤️💓💙
Please she is highly high am I the only one who see this?
@@janewhite5033 I see it, I expect it actually, getting high before enjoying some music, cool.
Doesn't it seem impossible?
What you should REALLY be surprised at is the number of "young" AND even "middle-aged" people who don't realize they may NEVER have existed if their mothers had not heard Bobby Hatfield singing this song at some time in their life and then gone home with the individual who became that person's father. This song has always had that effect on the female of our species. Lol. God bless each and every one of those sensitive females..and God bless Bobby Hatfield also. rotflmao.
@@janewhite5033 She may be high but she IS appreciating this performance at a level I've never seen very few reach! If I'm incorrect I apologize right here and in PUBLIC, but your comment seems to imply a bias against those who choose to participate in the use of "recreational" drugs, so I have to ask...do you EVER imbibe alcohol? Just curious, because if she IS high, it's obviously not on any drug stronger than "pot" (and that word in parenthesis should tell you how old I am).

The Late Great Bobby Hatfield melted your skeptical little heart round about the 3 minutes mark..... didn't he?
No doubt!!

He was extremely nervous during this performance because his mom was in the audience that day. I think he nailed it
Greatest live performance ever!
Real artist, no autotune, no effects, no second chance, only a mic and talent
Side note is that Bobby Hatfield was nervous before the show. He and Bill Medley scheduled to be on a variety show called Andy Williams' show televised. Reason for his nervousness is that his mother was in the audience.
Bobby suffered through his entire career with almost paralyzing stage freight.
“Let’s see what else you got brother “🤣 Your brother was just warming up
Let's set the scene: Mid 60's, no autotune. His parents were in the audience watching him sing live for the first time. He was way more nervous than usual. Oh yeah, and live TV, no do-overs.
You had to have RAW TALENT to perform flawlessly like that back then. Bobby Hatfield had it, plus some. Requiescat In Pace.
❤️
Absolutely
Blue-eyed soul at its finest.
you are, hands down, my favorite reactor!
Welcome to one of the best, if not best, voices to grace Earth. Keep me comin
Ledzepisbest, hat field was amazing!!! However there's others that are a head of him!! Such has the greatest that I've ever heard. The great Jackie wilson!!!
I love the way you listen with your whole self. Lovely. You remind me of my feelings for music. Thanks!
The incomparable Bobby Hatfield.
The duo didn't write this song but man Bobby's version is not just the standard... it's the minimal standard!
Few men can achieve this level of performance. For those that can... respect!!
That guy can SANG!!! I have always just loved that song.
He sang it,nailed it and put in his back pocket. It's his song how and for ever, not even the great Elvis or anybody today and forever come close. RIP Bob by its yours
Keep going beautiful don't stop now you've lost that loving feeling has both guys singing..they were awesome...like you...
He is a counter tenor...one of the rarest singing voices.
He also had a cold that night.

Girl, you got it, and so did he! 😉
2 thumbs up . thank you for sharing this
Bobby Hatfield solo. He performs with Bill Medley on other hits. You’ve lost that loving feeling was most listened to song in 20th century. Black marines in Harlem heard them in said you brothers are Righteous. Hence Righteous Brothers.
I love the reactions where the girls start off all brash and cocky and the song breaks them. Ah, the power of music!
Bobby Hatfield, 20 note range, easy and cool. Amazing.
I love your reaction to this video. You know he's saying that directly to you.
"You better go to church" Priceless!!!
Bobby Hatfield had incredible range. Beautiful Voice! I can get kicked between the legs and not hit a high note like that. 😂
That was purely talent no electronics to mask vocal mistakes that we have now
The hosts soft side,though buried fairly deeply,showed itself a little. Beautiful
Hahahah your reaction : he said .... is priceless
I was born in 1975 and the singer's from this generation are just on another level of bad ass.
Bobby will always be great singer of this song. His legacy gone through 5 generations no one can hit those notes like him!!
Goddam, this lady appreciates her music. She knew exactly when that revealed itself as gold. Love ya Scribecash! You're the real deal.
Thank you!
I heard somewhere that he was extremely nervous in this performance because his parents were in the audience.
I have seen over 50 other women react to this song and your expressions are the best. thanks
Sing it Righteous Brotha!
He’s a counter tenor. Rarest of the rarest voice types.
i love her voice
Remember this was LIVE T V back in 1965. And Bobby just got over a cold.
hace to say this see alot of your videos but saw you sing this in a collaberation you have a amzing voice
You are too cute. Always love your reactions.
You wanna hear some operatic singing, try Roy Orbison, Crying. It's amazing.
Also Roy Orbison's "You Got It".
Also "In Dreams"
Hi there I'm 67 years old from Chicago and enjoy spending my time with you your fun and I enjoy being there with you you must listen to The dells always together and The delfonics let it be me and the one by Jerry Butler and Betty wright let it be me you will enjoy these records because at that time our music was a phenomenon please enjoy them I wish you God's blessing

Bill sang with Jennifer Warnes, not Warren :) And you're right, Dirty Dancing (as well as Stand By Me) was a hell of a soundtrack 😎
@@bryansproles2879 Fixed; TYVM.

Can you please react to Berry White,can't get enough of your love, it's one of those old classics
that has some serious soul.
Or practice what u preach
That was Bobby Hatfield the first part of the Rightous Bros. experience now its time for the other half Bill Medley "You've lost that loving feeling"
Paul O'Brien She already did, a month ago or so...
Love. You’re awesome! Thank you for this.
Bobby was a hell of a singer back in the day...Glad that you found him, and like him. :-)
Loved it all!
Some, of many things I like about you, is that you listen to the words and the melody.

Very true💯🙏
Facts
They surprised all the young people reacting
It's called talent. No auto tune
no way you're (almost) hitting those two notes just on perfect pitch :p You knew what was coming. super reaction still!
R.I.P. Bobby Hatfield
Lol i love how your face goes from 😠 to 😕 to 😐 to 😏 to 🙂 to 😁 to 🥰🎶🥰. Me too homegirl, me too 😁👍
Love it !!
Great talent..love your hair boo..
I know right
Greatest love song of all time.
Geweldig 12-03-2021.
I am 2 years younger than Bobby Hatfield would be if he were still alive and I absolutely love watching young men and women react to him singing this, the most beautiful of love songs. Others great singers have sung this song, but Bobby owns it!
Well over 2 octaves of range in one song.
Wow!!
Bobby: "I need your love"
ScribeCash: "Okay!"
Blue eyed soul ❤
I liked how you were outputting about 2000 words per minute at first, then you were totally into the song, resulting into your machinewordgunning going down to near 0... respect!
Excuse me, Mr. Bobby Hatfield sir were sorry to say we cannot provide you autotune. Bobby Hatfield: What's autotune? lol
Love it
You actually hit that note! It seems as though you can listen to a song once and you've almost got it.
Like your singing too.
I read he hit 20 notes (!!!!) in this song...truly epic. no gadgets either.
oh and your vid is great ! Pls watch it folks...my only complaint...too short a vid !!
That voice could have any woman it wants lol. Timeless. Zero Auto-Tune
such a great performance, great reaction
The best of the best
Loved your reaction.
Ok...for starters, I'm amazed that I have electricity given the path of Isaias. Then, there's your amazing reaction to the blue-eyed soul. Yes, my folks have soul, and we consider you a long-lost female relative that we need to parade around on our shoulders. You completely get it, and we love you incredibly. A big "thumbs up" from the 60 + cousins. Yeah, we've adopted you. Your reaction was spot-on perfect, but my question is: How could you have not heard this song? I mean, it's everywhere. Doesn't matter--you're awesome as always. Sending the love from the VA/NC state line with the Southern Drawl, amazing pulled pork barbecue, Brunswick stew, and Carolina Beach music. So much love for our little girl. You keep doing what you do. We love you for it.
I'm young and I heard all these old school songs from my uncles and grownups I used to change around lol
Not many could walk out on stage and do this live.
For a deeper perspective of the lyrics, the song was originally written for a movie called "the prisoner". The husband is serving a long sentence and wrote this in a letter to his young wife who was having an affair with one of the prison guards and looking to leave the country with him. Makes the song so much more emotional in its meaning.
The movie's title was actually Unchained hence it being in the song's title. ☺
Your adorable! Love your reaction to music
"A mam hitting that, ok!!"
*sits back and sips tea*
they are not actually brothers, they were singing at a club and someone in the audience yelled out "that's righteous brother". Bill Melody sat this song out because he didn't think it would be popular
Bobby❤️❤️Hatfield
Timeless masterpiece.
