- Righteous brothers unchained melody reaction is a musical experience of one of the greatest musical or vocal performances.Really has to be seen to be believed.This react is a great one.
simply one of the greatest performances by anyone, singing anything, EVER....never gets old
Not 1 of is
@alan conrad Yes! Absolutely:)
@alan conrad, AMEN brother!!!
This is one of my favorite songs. Just incredible
You are not lying Conrad!
When silk got a reputation for being smooth Bobby said hold my beer.
hahahah Roger you smooth Romeo
Enough said! You sir are correct!
Perfect!
😂😂👍👍
You’re listening to a song done in the 60’s when music was real. Not computerized. I’ll take old school every time!
Your respect by not interrupting the performance is greatly appreciated.
Done live on the Andy Williams show. No auto tune. Just pure talent.
And his parents were in the audience -- no pressure
And apparently, I also heard he had a cold & his Mom was in the audience, so he was really nervous.....Such an amazing talent!!!
Bobby also allegedly suffered from stage fright. Look up how their name was chosen! Very funny 😅
I remember watching when he did this number on the Andy Williams Show.
It was beyond compare.
I was born in 1961, find it weird that autotune or lack of it has to be mentioned. For decades of my my life such a thing was unheard of- i would be ashamed to use it, a badge of dishonour.
If you judged this as a 9 out of 10, then NO song is a 10 !! Best live performance ever !
9 out of 10?? Bobby Hatfield pouring his soul into every note of Unchained Melody is a performance for the ages. Off the charts ! 10 out of 10 doesn't do this justice. Most beautiful performance I have ever witnessed. RIP Bobby Hatfield 🕊️💙
😀😀 yea..maybe i should have given it a 10
@@HarriBestReactions At the very least! 🤣🤣
On a scale of 1 to 10, this song is a million!
@@angelatheriault8855 I feel the same!! 💞🕊️
Perfection
Bobby Hatfield: a voice sent from heaven for all of us to hear.
A 9?? What the heck would be a 10? This was a live performance, live audience, pure talent.
I just wished Bobby Hatfield was still with us to see all the amazing comments and reactions to this song
Trust me… he knows! 😂😂😂
Chills every time. Absolutely perfect. He makes it look so easy. It isn’t.
If you noticed, Bobby Hatfield (Righteous Brother) never even STRAINED singing notes into the high ALTO range. Incredible for a man's voice! 😁
Alto? No sir ... that high G is high mezzo soprano range. :)
Bobby Hatfield was a countertenor. Alto and mezzo-soprano is the term for female singers.
This song was named "The Song of the Century" and is known for being one of the best songs ever !!
Nope,that was "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" by The Righteous Brothers,and was the most played song of the 20th Century,but personally,I prefer this song,and this live performance.
cannot even be disputed.........................
@@robhaunui3343 They are both great,. i give this a slight edge for the stupendous voice
This version of the song is the very best ever made. It was recorded live on the Andy Williams TV Show. What makes it special is the fact when Bobby sang the studio album version, he did not sing the G4 (G5-?) notes at the end. He ended the song on a lower octave. The Righteous Brothers were dubbed, "Blue-Eyed Soul" back in the day and its not hard to figure out why. Not only is Bobby's voice and control outstanding, the lyrics are beyond imagine, even for a love song. This song is already 55yrs old and will always endure the test of time. You know why? Because "Class never goes out of Style".
Years ago, I read that Sam Cooke, along with other R&B artists dubbed them that. The Righteous Brothers liked the title, it was a compliment. Also, about seven (7) of their hits crossed over & charted on predominantly Black radio stations.
Thank you for this comment, James, I was a little girl in elementary school and me and my friends all LOVED the Righteous Brothers. I didn't know nothin' that kinda love, but it moved me and it has indeed stood the test of time!
I first heard this song in 1965 in the highlands of Vietnam while serving with the 1st Air Cav and later the 1st Brigade of the 101st Airborne. The guys while back at the base camp/s would softly play this song over the radio and the "world" seemed so very far away. Great song, great artist.
If you want to hear both brothers listen to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"
9 out of 10? That makes this the most Underrated thing ever in the 13.5 Billion year history of the Universe.
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 👌
Bobby was a counter tenor and could sing 5 octaves.
The depth of the talent and soul of Bobby Hatfield is timeless. RIP.
Best live performance ever. Period.
Bravo! This is as good as it gets..
No artist has ever done better, this is Bobby’s song for all the ages.
Bobby Hatfield totally owns this song. Righteous Brothers are the only musical act in history to have this song become a number one hit when it was released in the 60s and then have it become another number one hit when it was released again when the movie Ghost came out.This song will always stand the test of time.
Yes,and I have never heard anyone I mean anyone duplicate this song or even tried to sing it like him,then again it's kinda hard trying to out do THE ORIGINAL 👍
only a 9 out of 10? This is acknowledged by most to be one of the greatest live performances in music history. This was performed on the Andy Williams TV show in 1965. No auto tune. Simply beautiful.
loved your reaction! live performance, no autotune, family in audience and frightened young 24 year old, God Bless Bobby, RIP! we all still love your voice, TY!
Best love song ever, best live performance ever. 10/10
The Brothers had just finished a duet on this, the Andy William's variety show. Bobby had won the coin toss to sing the followup solo. Singles back then were cut to fit a 45 rpm record play so they'd fit in a radio station play schedule. No song was EVER 3 mins or longer until Alice's Restaurant, Hey Jude and America Pie broke the recording mold.
Bobby then gives a live performance, with no autotune, sings effortlessly through 20 separate notes through three (get that? - 3!!) different octaves, with perfect diction, tone and enunciation, unbelievable breath control and armature, all completely unheard of on any live broadcast or recording ever before.
With this song alone having over 300 separate professional covers (including by Elvis and Sinatra), all the others declare this has become Bobby's song and will forever be his identity for all time. This video is used repeatedly by professional vocal coaches to demonstrate both "perfect" song and breath control, live performance and stage presence capture to their students.
So, with that all made clear, Im curious. Where exactly, are you docking a point from him and who do you think could have ever performed it "better?"
in my humble opinion there will be no other phenomenon like him to sing like that, and look that with all the resources of today, there are no more talents of this caliber anywhere ... hug from a fan here in brazil
A correction, Marty Robbins big #1Country and Pop classic "El Paso" was about 4:15 long and went #1 in Jan. 1960. The Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" was famous for putting a shorter time on the label than the song actually was and it was well over 3 minutes!
SC, remember also "In a Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly that went on for seventeen minutes or one whole side of an LP? Every now and then, especially during the evening, you would hear a song like "American Pie" played on the radio. That was almost always because at smaller stations the only one working at night was the DJ, who was playing the records and recording the transmitter readings, and occasionally answering the call of nature. DJ's would always keep one record or tape handy with a long song, or if he was creative, two songs and a recorded break in between on a tape cartridge, just in case. Think of the Wolfman Jack scenes in "American Graffiti".
Nowadays, at a lot of stations there's no one there at all on the overnights. Computer automation has replaced the overnight DJ., even at stations where you think someone really is there.
@@jimsouthern1398 Thank you Jim Southern. I was going to state that about Marty Robbins, "El Paso" myself. I loved Marty Robbins and The Righteous Brothers both greatly! Marty wrote numerous songs. "El Paso" as well two other songs, I feel at least from time to time, should be listened to all together, before listening to any other song. This is especially so if not knowing of these other songs. Really listen to the words that the stories tell in all of these. Start with "El Paso". Try to find the long version, it's on the B side. Then next, "Feleena (From El Paso)" and ending with "El Paso City". Then sit, ponder on his talent of writing and delivery! Look at the years between these songs too. "El Paso" (1959), "Faleena (From El Paso) was released in 1966. As a kid, I nearly wore out our album of this song! It's playing time was 8:18. Then, "El Paso City" (1976).
In another comment, I talked of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. Beautiful Souls having Soul and the likes of none other!
@@jimsouthern1398 That was a trick Phil Spector also came up with in the early 60's for his label. And they were damn worth the extra time.
That live performance is the G.O.A.T. Hands down!!!
Live performance, no auto tune genuine pure talent!
They are the Righteous Brothers because 56 years later Bobby Hatfield's rendition of this beautiful song makes me say, "Oh. My. God!" I was an 11 year old little girl in Flint, Michigan, steeped in the gospel, rhythm and blues my parents and older siblings listened to and when the Righteous Brothers came on the scene, they entered right into my heart with all the other music in the sound track of my life. Blue eyed soul? HE** YEAH! Loved it then, LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW!
Probably the greatest vocal performance of all time, especially considering that this was LIVE! Even better than their recorded version.
I was raised in the 60's and when I first heard the Righteous brothers I thought they were a Black soul group! The two brothers had some great hits back in the 60's!
Yeah, we ALL thought they were Black until we saw them. Such talent!
9 out of 10 please ! Name one person today that could even come close to this .There is none !
No one has ever been able to sing it like Hatfield, especially live. Most singers can’t hit those notes live
Wow I think anything under 10 is an insult! 🤣 I have never heard anything like this.
As good as this is....I think "Sinful Passion" by Dimash Kudaibergen is better.
10
9 out of 10 ? Try 10
I give it a 10 out of 10. This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Just belted it out with great control and power, effortlessly.
I will.never argue with a 10..i explained.why i dont like giving 10s in a video 😀
The late Bobby Hatfield. One of the most beautiful soulful voices. These songs have been used in movies and they're classics!
Just to add a fact (if it isn't further down in the comments) This was the first time he had performed in front of his Mom and Dad who were there, and he was sick with a cold. There probably isn't a song of theirs that you wouldn't appreciate. I had the great privilege of seeing them do this song and many others live in the mid 80's at the fierce prompting of a friend of mine who just bought tickets and said "we're going, you're driving"! It was wonderful.
Rest in peace Bobby thanks for being there
"Godspeed your love, to me" No one writes lyrics like that anymore.
Bobby Hatfield’s voice makes you cry with joy
I was 11 years old when that song came out 1965. I've been appreciating that song for more 55 years .
This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show, w Bobby Hatfield singing in front of his parents who were seated in the audience. Doesn't get any better than that performance.
This was before Electronics could adjust your voice to sound how they need you to. This was REAL RAW Talent, I remember when this version came out my sisters would just
keep repeat playing it for hours. Back when men would sing with emotion to women not speak a phrase at them. But it never gets old, Thanks for the memory's.
Amen, Brother!
A ten out of ten! Bobby Hatfield is personification of Blue Eyed Soul along with Bill Medley...not related brothers....just Righteous
That was the most phenomenal performance in 1965. It stunned my mom and dad, brother and sisters all in awe.
The Righteous Brothers were the duo Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. This was a live performance on the Andy Williams show. Many artists have done Unchained Melody but Bobby Hatfield's voice is unmatched. This is one of Bobby's solos, and it was produced by Bill Medley. RIGHTEOUS !!!!!!!
It’s called, “Blue Eyed Soul”.
He was singing , with his parents in audience .he wanted to do a good job. 3cheers from Canada
Allegedly it has been recorded over 1500 times and this is considered the definitive version
cant argue that............................
i grew up with them, that generation of music, and man, i grieve those days ;(
Just Divine they be :)
I LOVE seeing people's reaction to this UNBELIEVABLE song. One of the greatest songs EVER ❣❣💋💋💋
What would this world be like if more woman were still sang songs of love like this, instead of what they hear today?
I still get emotional listening to the song and I've literally heard this my whole life. Good job!👍
I've never heard a voice like Bobby Hatfield has this is his song for sure nobody can sing it like he does nobody such a great talent
I was so blessed to hear them through their career. Love them! So classy..
This song was a solo by the late great Bobby Hatfield. Covered by many but no one can touch this. Bill Medley will be in other songs. Try Soul and Inspiration, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. Thx
PS: I give it a 10 lol
Silky voice sweet melody.
I give Bobby Hatfield a standing ovation too! One of the best songs I’ve ever heard.
A beautiful moment in the past. We are so blessed to have this film. This is Bobby's solo. They are a duo, not blood brothers, but brothers none the less.
Also, this song is in the movie "GHOST."
Now 51 years later, and still a very powerful love song.
11 out of 10.
I was a child and my parents made us watch the Andy Williams show every week. That episode is the only one that stuck in my head
Kinda makes you wanna to leave this mess and go back home, wherever that is. A true masterpiece.
this live version gives me hot flashes every time
Might be the single greatest live T.V.performance ever!
This is a 10 in my books. Bobby was awesome. It still gives me chills just like it did in 1965 when it came out on the charts. I was in high school at the time. You need to listen to their other hits!
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary.
“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century.
"Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree.
In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
I'm a caucasian woman (73.5) who grew up listening to The Righteous Brothers who were often called (as a compliment) "The Blue Eyed Soul Brothers". When I hear them I realize a new that the music then was more elegant & tasteful. It wasn't vulgar. There was no reason for it to be vulgar. Today music often is vulgar. It's unfortunate. I loved it when you stood up. I have honored people like that. When you spoke of its perfection I thought of Etta James singing "At last". Sorry if my name icon comes up 2x-some sort of computer glitch.
This is a lovely comment Stephanie..thanx
There are still loads of songs today that isnt vulgar though..You just gotto look in the right places
NO NO. ITS A “ TEN” OUT OF TEN!!! The best version of this song ever! Play this song for your lady. She will melt into your arms!
This is one of the most iconic performances in music history. This performance still mesmerizes and melts women of all ages on UA-cam even today- it's still gong strong even after 57 years! You can name very few songs that still do this. In this song Bobby hits over 20 different notes.
One of the greatest songs ever
I heard they got their name because before they reached big time they sang in places close to El Toro Marine Base in Southern Ca and the black marines told them their singing was "righteous" and they took that as their professional name. But that song was 10/10 and always will be one for the ages!
I believe the marines said “You brothers sound righteous”.
It was "That's righteous, brother".
So great because it was LIVE. That is the amazing thing to me.
You know, I’ve never actually heard that version with the crazy high notes at the end. The recorded version doesn’t have those. Wow!
Yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was the cherry on top ! usually I don't like different renditions but this was Sublime !!
This is the only version available, it was never put on record, the original was sung by Al Hibbler in 1954.
I had a teacher in high school who was also a musician. On the side, he and his wife led the school choir. He used to say that this song was one of the most difficult for someone to sing because of how much range it takes.
No one has sung this song better then the late great Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers.' I have never seen an orchestra and a singer so in tune with one another then what is being performed here. The 'Andy Williams Orchestra' and the arrangement of this beautiful ballad is to die for. The strings are really kicking it in this the best version I have ever heard. Then you add the great vocals of Bobby Hatfield and together they created a masterpiece that will live on for generations to come. This performance alone has solidified Bobby Hatfield as one of music's, and rock & roll's greatest tenors. The rest as they say is history...
Two things... this song was written for a prison movie- imagine a Prisoner singing this to his love on the outside.... Another thing, this was his first time on TV, and his mother was in the audience. That last smile, when he knew he had Hiten the note says a lot.
I love your reaction! Bobbie Hatfield was magnificent, gone way to soon…RIP
I'm extremely happy for you that you've found this. Been listening for 55 yrs, welcome aboard.
55???Wow, thank you!
They weren't a group, they are a duo. During their first few years together they could not think of a good name for their act, till one night, during one of their shows, a member of the audience stood up and shouted "That was righteous, brother!" Complimenting them on their soulful music. So no, it's not "Goodie-goodie" as you put it, it was actually very clever. You know nothing about them, so don't judge. These guys were amazing and down to earth people. Bobby Hatfield, who is the one singing this song, was often very nervous on stage, but he was also a very modest and very funny guy. No one could sing like him, and no one has ever been able to sing this song like him, not even Elvis.
Is it that you don't like humour or just choose not to listen to what people say at times? Where exactly have i judged anyone? I said interesting name and it sounded too goody goody.The humour was righteous being perfect.
What is wrong with goody goody if that is what they are? Is that judging? Where then where you when after listening to the first few minutes of the song,i made a comment that if you had a voice like that,you'd be righteous indeed?You conveniently ignored that right? When people say things,you should look at the intent and look at the humour.Everything i did in this video points to me showing immense respect for the talent of these guys.
Every other thing you said in your write up was great,till your "don't judge" and i know nothing about their lives comment and i find it VERY DISRESPECTFUL to my character.You are the one judging here for twisting my good intention.I really am.not happy with this.Thank you
@@HarriBestReactions Because calling someone "goody goody" means you're accusing them of being sanctimonious. Also, you make smart-arse criticisms like that on UA-cam and you expect not to get negative feedback? Grow up and stop being a baby.
@@nycot107 Out of almost 200 comments..you are the only one that came up with that nonsense! That says it all😀😀You need a humour transpant badly.I hope u get one 😂
@@HarriBestReactions Sarcasm isn't humour, or rather it's not good humour
@@nycot107 Great..lets just enjoy the music! Cheers
The greatest "B" side single of all-time! Yes, many great vocalists covered this song...only great vocalists can sing this!
Being able to see and listen to The Righteous Brothers' beautiful amazing voices over and over is one of the best things about the internet@ thank you for this reaction.
Thank you for stopping by..hope we see you more 😀
**MEN WATCHING THIS, PAY ATTENTION** 🥰 🥰 🥰 Loved your reaction!!!
Thank you Sandy
On top of my bucket-list. Genius performance. Love it
I give him 10 out of 10 it was stupendous.
When he bites his lip at the end knowing he NAILED it!
This was featured in the movie Ghost...
ua-cam.com/video/MhAE3lQ_FHg/v-deo.html
The same clip, but with singer Andy Williams asking why it was a solo!
ua-cam.com/video/FZZqf3AVJbE/v-deo.html
A bit more of that same show...
ua-cam.com/video/KGClv9GKYmo/v-deo.html
Definitely deserve standing ovation..
See "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and "Soul and Inspiration" to see both brothers being righteous.
You can feel Bobby's voice in your soul. RIP Bobby.
I love how you gave him a standing ovation. Righteous Bros weren’t really brother but there is another guy.
I listened to it everyday . 10. Times. A day what a voice n a.love. Song
Bill Medley produced this to feature his partners voice more. He pulled back the "wall of music" sound that Phil Spector usually featured for them.
10 out of 10. And it was LIVE!!
LIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow !
Considered, among those who would know, to be the best live performance of a song, ever.
This is called blue eyed soul. No autotune just pure talent. How do you give a standing ovation then only a 9 out of 10. I don't understand. Does he have to stand on his head and sing it out his butt to get a 10 out of 10. This song was in the movie ghost. Fun fact I was told I was conceived to this song As were many other babies. You've lost that loving feeling has both brothers in it and it's played in the movie top gun
You know a song rocked it when someone stands for ovation when they are listening at home, l know l have done. Their voices were perfectly matched and they picked perfect songs to sing.
Wings of pegasus channel, the british musician reviews unchained melody. He tells how many different notes Bobby Hatfield reaches.
👍👏
Yeah,Fil is the best when it comes to breaking songs down,and certainly knows his stuff.
Bobby Hatfield's singing is immaculate but, even more so, it is totally effortless. His expression hardly changes for the entire song. Perfection!
NINE out of 10? Where did he lose a point?
Bobby's mother was sitting in the audience, watching her son perform for the first time. That little smile at the end that Bobby gave was for his (undoubtedly PROUD) mother.
A 9 out of 10? Are you kidding me? More like a 10 out of a million or more! ✌❤
BLUE EYED SOUL...COME TOGETHER
I always love watching reactors listen to the first couple of lines of this song. So smooth and kind of a lazy tempo. I just want to yell at them, Just wait. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Unfortunately Bobby passed away some years ago. He was found dead in his hotel room. His songs will live forever in our hearts.
