Righteous Brothers - Shindig Appearances (1964-1966)

- For the most of non-music fans, The Righteous Brothers sang only two songs: "Unchained Melody" and "You've Lost That Loving Feelin." This is understandable, considering the fact those songs were both used in hugely popular hit movies: the former in "Ghost" and the latter in "Top Gun" (Tom Cruise sings it at a bar, you remember?). But the fact is, The Righteous Brothers are much more versatile artists than you think, whose songs cover from ballads to blues and exciting 100 % ultra-pure rock'n'roll. Watch this video, and you will know.
The show begins with the sizzling "Justine," an Isley Brothers style number that rocks the studio. After that, the brothers' stream of songs never stops, including rock number "Ko Ko Joe" and of course "You've Lost That Feelin." During the course they even share a microphone with The Blossoms. Interesting thing is the scene in which "Unchained Melody" is sung -- I rather naively thought the number was sung by Bill Medley, but you see only Bobby Hatfield on TV.
Anyway, this volume is a good collection of songs, and as they sing the songs LIVE, the exciting feeling goes up double!! And if you're fond of the group, check out "Frat Party" of the same "Shindig" series. In that one, they sing one song "Let That Good Time Roll." Grooooovy, yeah!!

2024.... still the best duo ever...no one will ever match them.
I'll say it again....NO ONE can wail like Bobby and Bill!
Especially Bobby
Such a classy performance of Loving Feeling, in my opinion the best.! So handsome and Bobby smiling as always 😍
I had commented on the group, but there is no comparison to Bobby Hatfield. To me, he makes the duo and listening to him is like listening to an angel. I don’t know where one could find a voice like that anymore. He was a very down to earth, a humorous man with an incomparable voice and the world lost something when he passed away. I was very glad that I got to see him in Philadelphia.
Bobby Hatfield was a phenomenal talent in singing and dancing and entertaining. He was a born performer. A plus. I miss his beautiful voice.
Yes !! Janet I agree its hard to believe he suffered from severe stage fright you would never know like you said he looks like such a natural. He was amazing!! Miss him
Too bad he wasn't afraid of cocaine. Gone too soon.
Bobby had extraordinary charm, an extraordinary voice, was better looking than Cary Grant, talent enough for half a dozen men and was irresistible. Include above comments and we’ve just about covered it?
I watch this this I really miss Bobby so much. they made such a great pair ! ❤❤
As always Bobby Hatfield shines with his extraordinary talent & soulful delivery and on stage charm. Bobby can dance too!
Bobby is phenomenal in all areas with top scores including entertainment: he can do it all and he seems to enjoy it all
A killer smile, too.
Wow! What memories. Thank you for sharing this. 1964 I was 17 graduated Art school New York City. I remember watching Shindig. I’ve lived abroad since 1975 so seeing this is a particular treat.
What is also unique here is that we see black and white singers and dancers onstage together on television.
Most USA sponsors had vehemently rejected and objected to white people and black people performing together. That was why in the 50s the brilliant Nat King Cole show was cancelled. Pressure was brought to bear on the network by the sponsors . This was particularly a problem for shows that were broadcast nationwide which meant all of the most bigoted and racist states as well as the others.
Of course none of us knew this information back then except for television executives. Unfortunately.
there were some people who try to resist and fight this attitude. Ed Sullivan was one. But he had a lot of power and influence so he invited people onto his show whether the network or sponsors agreed or not but he was a rarity .
You're turning this into a black racism only issue, if you know about the RIbs they first performed to black servicemen, who only went to see them by accident thinking they were black. There were many black radio stations which refused to play them because they were white...it worked both ways, but the Brothers were colour blind, like most of us in the 60s. I lived in the UK and watched performers of every colour. The hate has been stoked for political reasons where it never existed.
Thank the Lord these two met. Fabulous singers!
Righteous brothers were for real! Power and great harmonies. All natural.
Incredible Righteous Brothers, I can't get enough of this era when they were singing and having fun, something they seemed to have lost in the Phil Spector years. Bobby's amazing talent as a solo artist was sadly never realised for reasons which seem inexplicable now. He was unique and for me Stay With Me (Baby) was the song he should be remembered for, although it went largely unnoticed. Beautiful song, beautiful man, such a loss to the world of music but thankfully, we still have plenty to remember him by.
What a great performance !They’re having so much fun! It’s contagious ! This game with the microphone is a brillant page in the history of tv, worty of an anthology ! What great ones !
On their lp's they both sang an individual song (Georgia On My Mind, Unchained Melody) & a spiritual song, like In that Great Gettin Up Morning. I was honored to see them live in 1965, 1968, 1978, & 1990 thru 2003 In Boston & Vegas until Bobby's death. I got to know Bobby & the band thru all of the 90's until his death. He & the band were normal, regular people. No pretense! Bobby said he was honored & lucky to have had the career that they had & would continue to tour until he embarrassed himself. Little did we know that 10 years later he would be dead. He was very humble. I thank him & miss him for the VOICE he gave us! Thank you to everyone who has posted videos of The Brothers. It's so great to see them again when they first started out on Shindig. It's ironic that The Beatles took over the music scene, but The Brothers have the number #1 played song ever. Eat your heart out Beatle lovers. They couldn't hold a candle to The Brothers.
You are so right! I was 22 when the Beatles came here and could never understand the craziness over them.
Also even though they wrote some good songs, they could never equal Bobby and Bill.
Agreed about the Beatles, Bobby and Bill were so much better!!
@@nelitasciretta7101 I just listened to "If I Ruled the World." Let me hear anyone else sing any better.
@@dawnaberry8452 there will never be another duo like them!
Bobby Hatfield gets better every day. The world lost a phenomenal counter tenor. He wasn’t appreciated enough while he was alive and especially during the time from age 28-48 when record companies ignored him. Shame on them. We can have a much bigger library of songs with his velvet voice.
I agree Bobby was de soul of duo....but, Bill's voice also was so special deep varitone beautiful and together mede a magical sound nevera will be singers like theme....😢
Baritone
They both were the soul of the duo. Perfect blend of voices and talent. Rest Easy Bobby and keep on a rockin Bill!!
He was not a counter tenor
@@yvonnesanders4308 was Bill Medley a Baritone? and Bobby Hatfield a Soprano then? just wondering for myself, that said I really don't care what both of their voices were classified as both could belt it out 💯 and they both had incredible range but Bobby could really hit those high ranges and also no question in my mind how "soulful" they both were two classy gentleman for sure 💯 Respect to them.
I miss Bobby too. He had a haunting beautiful voice. He was the best
This music will live on forever. My favorite type of music. Absolutely great singers and entertainers. The voices are heavenly. Cant get enough of their music. Simply the best.😊😊
Great singers
Unbiased view (but I am from the UK so you may judge it as bias). I’m crazy over The Beatles because they were so talented and pioneering with their songwriting however Bobby’s vocal ability way surpassed any of the Beatles’ voices. Personally I wouldn’t compare the two, I think both The Righteous Brothers and The Beatles deserve credit in their own right. See that’s coming from someone who is a massive Beatles fan and also a massive Righteous Brothers fan. Why can one not like both, they are not comparable? I don’t rate Elvis, that’s just my choice but I acknowledge that without Elvis The Beatles probably wouldn’t have existed. I also think that Bobby’s 1965 live performance of Unchained Melody is the greatest live performance of all time. Why compare and criticise The Beatles, my sister loves Led Zeppelin and can’t stand The Beatles but acknowledges that they had a massive impact on music that came later, including LZ.
The sound on this video is soooo good. So nice to be able to listen these hits one after another. Thanks for posting this. These two guys were such a talented, classy duo. No one has come close to before or since their rise to fame with the talent, harmony and to remain such genuinely nice guys.❤
Wow! Thanks for posting! I’ve never seen all these Shindig clips. It makes me love and appreciate them even more. What charisma!
I miss that kind of music....
They are so exciting every time they perform
And so handsome!!
Soul and inspiration showcased their talents far more as they both sang together and separately
Four "squares" don't dig this. :-) Hell, The Righteous Brothers live version of Don and Dewey's "Justine" ROCKS! The high octane energy, that IS what rock n' roll is about!
And that was the ‘sanitized’ version for TV…..
BOBBY the king of the stage ❤
This is absolutely awesome!
Oh #BROTHERS!
just once in my life...truly wonderful
I watched Shindig back in the day, primarily to see them. What I find humorous now is that I didn't pay any attention to that girl named Donna Loren and that guy named Glen Campbell when they sang hits of the day -- because they weren't the "original artists" -- I was stuck on original artists. The Righteous Bros may have sung songs they didn't do but that was okay.
Thank you for this
I just love them as persons and performers
Uncomparable
I hope we can hear them in Heaven and that Bobby is singing a live song to our Father for me now
Wow wat fantastich de Righteous brothers zó te zien optreden geweldig,wát een variatie en beide jongens komen tot hun recht. Zó profestional en toch ook zó spontaan ,ontspannen en zo swingend. Écht super gaaf!!!❤❤ 🎉
THEY KILLED NIGHT AND DAY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss 💓Bobby. I wish
He was here creating more beautiful music.
Janet, we have all these wonderful videos and recordings, we all miss Bobby but he would have been long retired if he hadn't left us so soon. 63 was far too young, but he had a good life with Linda and left a beautiful family so let's be grateful for his life, his voice and his wonderful smile..
Koko Joe : Too funny ! Magnificent !🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mari Sol Cormier - I’ve never seen this song performed before. Bill and Bobby always had fun, but this was just epic! 😄😂❤️
Beautiful man and beautiful voice ❤😢
Great doesn't begin to describe these two WONDERFUL ENTERTAINERS.❤¹
WHAT FEMALE
Bobby's smile makes my day, he and Bill were timeless performers.
The Blossom's effing killed it! Arguably the best backup singer ever.
If you ever have the chance to see Darlene Love, run don't walk to get a ticket. I saw her two years ago in Palm Coast, FL. at Christmas &
at 80 she was on stage in 5" heels for 45 minutes. She took a break and came out with the high heels still on & sang for another 45 minutes. I'm originally from Boston & I noticed she was recently in Beverly, MA. She is still fantastic and didn't miss a beat. I hope she comes again to Florida.
Look, one mic for each group (Justine). BTW shindig was live. not stereo yet so a lead mic and a backup mic. The mixing was done on stage.
The best blue eyes soul Duo 👍
Thank you for sharing this Roy!
God put them together.
R&B at it's ultimate ..The Clovers,The Midnighters,Johnny Ace,Joe Turner,Little Esther, Willy John,."Man the list goes on from late '40's to now in a few respects..50 and 60 were the time of great groups..even rock&roll has it's merits..Real Talents....
Thanks so much for posting this video! Wonderful to see these guys. Treasure every one! The best duo of all time. Miss Bobby so much.
Thank you, thank you from Italy! I wish they were better known here, absolutely love these two, particularly these beautiful performances from Shindig and the sound quality is brilliant! Bobby Hatfield was such a talent it's hard to realise he's gone, gone, gone. 😥 Together he and Bill are simply irreplaceable.
Bobby is great. I miss him
At 18:22 is their best rendition of Koko Joe. Lots of energy, and an awesome lead guitarist. The dancers really worked on this one.
That was awesome, thank you so much for sharing! I would sit through a blizzard or the scorching sun just to hear Bobby Hatfield!
Thank you for your kind comment.... it's comments like yours that make uploading videos like these a pleasure.
@@RoyGardnerra your welcome, I love listening to their music and Bobby is just my hero!
I would sit through a blizzard in a bathing suit for Bobby Hatfield
2024 from Detroit Amen to that 71 yrs old
Thanks for sharing, great memories.😊
Thank you for posting this amazing record of a lovely and inspiring moment in time that will never return… nor fade❤️🩹
This is awesome!!!
First time seeing this....absolutely fantastic. Bill and Bobby's voice were a perfect match for one another. And what can you say about one of the greatest voices of all time....Miss Darlene Love.
Great performance!
I’m 33 and I’ve secretly always had a huge crush on bill medley when he was this age. Omg was he gorgeous and that booming voice 🥰
Thank you for uploading this. Love it
Looking at the credits at the end it took me by surprise how many of the 'groups' I used to watch live in the West End of London had appeared on Shindig. The Animals, Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, The Beatles ( not the Stones for some reason, The Small Faces (Rod Stewart), The Yardbirds, Manfred Mann and Steve Winwood, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, and so many others, including Aretha Franklin live in Cardiff too in the 90s from my balcony opposite the Millennium Stadium...what a performer. But I'd swap them all now for a chance to see Bobby and Bill live...there was no-one who came close for me, especially Bobby Hatfield....nothing but regrets he passed me by until it was too late.
What a great song and boy they really rock it.
Thank you for this.
I love the music 🎵 and the musicians too, and the horns!
Love the back up watusi dancers
I seen this video quite a lot but just now I saw what looks like something in Bobby's hair. Towards the back.
Thanks for this! Such great memories, and wonderful performances. BILL MEDLEY!!!!!
thanks for this..
Phenomenal talent developed after years of performing SOCAl nite clubs featuring a combination of Rock, Blues and early soul styled after Don and Dewey. Bobby emerged as the Deacon with the unmistakable gospel wail with 1st tenors vocal acrobatics often singing out of his range with Bill carrying the lower baritone leads, impeccable pairing. I used to call them a “white Ruffin to Kendrick”, but they were original trendsetters in melodic Pop and early Soul. Another detail, notice late Fanita James stealing the show with her part on Nite and Day sounding like a toned down Etta James., I knew she was spectacular, just never heard her blow like she owned the show. What a beautiful group of performers, all 8 of them.
Hört sich seht nach .....Laving
Feeling an.
Now that I have found this video, I listen almost daily. It shows their differences and why they are so great. Besides their voices, Bobby sings with his body and Bill with his eyes. Love Bobby's moves but it is Bill's eyes that get me every time
So good happy day
Great Singers have sung this song...From Todd Duncan to Al Hibbler,Jimmy Young,Roy Hamilton,Lex Baxter,even Liberace on piano. Yet most popular version is Bobby Hatfield's..Which made Alex North and Hy Zaret mighty popular and oh yeah happy too.1955.
Roy thank you for a superb quality video. You do an excellent job. If you have any other Righteous Brothers or Bobby Hatfield I would love to see them. Thanks again. Miss you Bobby thanks for all the wonderful music. Rock on Bill.
❤💙💙
Was there simply never a live performance by Bobby Hatfield of "Ebb Tide?" I can't find one on UA-cam. There is a live performance by a guy who looks like and even sounds a lot like Bobby, but it's not him. I would love to find a live performance of Bobby.
Also, "Just Once In My Life" was cut off here. Was that an edit choice you made? Or was it broadcast that way? I'd love to get a nice clean copy of them doing that song. I think it's one of their best.
Just checked and confirmed this UA-cam rip was from the original Rhino Home Video re-release. From memory the American Dairy Association sponsored this show and their short adverts popped up all the time. I think the end of the song was cut short to allow for the commercial. Hadn't realised what a good song it was until I re-listened to it.

never heard him do Ebb Tide.do you mean Unchained Melody ?
FunkyMarcel - No, I mean “Ebb Tide.” He had a hit with both songs. Both in 1965.
@@ProdigyBowlersTour you are right...i forgot about that one..
There is a live performance of Bobby singing "Ebb Tide". It's on UA-cam. It might be on the RB 70s concert rare
SUPERB!!!
I have all there albums they the greatest pure soul I enjoyed these two guys so much
😋
Everybody having fun
I still listen to Bill with daughter mckenna
Que maneiro ❤
Blossoms back singers
This is what is known as "Blue-Eyed Soul." If you like this one, then I highly recommend listening to "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" by the same guys. It will absolutely blow your mind!
Darlene love of the blossoms is the middle singer of whom bill dated for a few years.
My owner says he used to watch them all the time and I believe him cause he has all the same moves.
Парни, блеск!
A m e i !!! 👏👏👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️
'I need your loving everyday' is missing but a great collection, thanks! Any chance it could be included as I think it was performed on Shindig?
Хорошисты, отличники, все принадлежит им!
21:10
You're welcome
I came here specifically looking for this full version of Unchained Melody. Other channels have poor quality footage and have the movie ghost spliced in. Bobby is sooo smooth and suave in this performance with his moves and of course an extra helping of his "Blue Eyed Soul" in this performance compared to others.
I think of the version on The Andy Williams Show as romantic/spiritual and of this version on Shindig as sexual/soulful, and he has a sexy twinkle in his eyes when he sings "I gotta have a little of that love". I love 💕 both versions, and other versions too.
Can I ask the title of the last song that plays after the song Unchained Melody? the song at 24:29?
in that great getting up morning fair the well
17:00
As gatas gritando por causa deles rs
Warum nicht auf deutsch😢
They seem to be having a lot of fun with their playful lip-synching on Justine.
Shindig was live. Lip - synching wasn't done
@@DianeAccettullo-yr1ht Says who? There is no way that they could be playing with the microphone like that and have their voices still sound that perfect. With no mic noise. Look at 2:25! Bobby's mouth isn't even moving when that lyric kicks in.
They mix the sound right on the stage. I looked at Bobby he yelled Justine on cue. Another comment mentioned that Shindig was live. Maybe you are looking for things not there. Dislike the Righteous Brothers or the song ?
@@DianeAccettullo-yr1ht That 2:25 isn't "Justine". It's "Do you feel alright", which is not at all synched up to the video. Maybe you need glasses and/or a hearing aid? They absolutely do perform live on some Shindig appearances. This isn't one of them.
Just because the video is out of sync doesn't mean the performance was lip synced. Also, the old microphones picked up everything around them. @@WhatHaveIMade
The only sad thing on these shindig shows is the dancers. Theyre so stiff and controlled by the moral compass of the times in white america. But the Brothers loosened up that stiffness.
Those dancers don't look stiff to me! Sounds like you have a jealousy hangup...Also it's good for people that live in a civilized country to have a moral compass....You also seem to have a problem with white America back then but in any event it was hands down better then morally and culturally then it is now with the disgusting Twerking and girls talking and singing about WAP! Some people like Trash and being around Trash...Not Me!
Now Run Along Marilyn!!
Back when music was MUSIC, and NOT the CRAP they're trying to equalize nowadays. ... cheap imitation AND covers... can't blame "THEM" for trying...
The dancers ? for Justine ,shouldn't of been there, annoying and they were blocking the band and back up singers,
distracting
