    This was live, no retakes, no autotune. Bobby was sick when performing this and his mother was in the audience never hearing him live before. Bobby owned this song.

      Bobby Hatfield sang this only. Best tenor n that last note many women can't hit it. The other guy Bill Medley bass. I met Bill several years ago n he loves his fans. Bobby diedmany years ago but Bill is still singing in his 80's. I've Lost That Loving Feeling is another of their best songs n both sing this together.

      Yes !!!! My dad had a beautiful tenor voice and he and mom would dance while dad sang this song to her. They taught us how to dance close but not one of us 5 can sing like dad. When mom passed last yr at 88 y/o she'd been missing him for 16 yrs. I told my brothers we owed them staying well bc it was the 1st time, since they were 18, they'd been alone with no kids around. I told my brothers dad would say to us...wth you guys could we have an hour maybe ? 😂😂😂
      My dad taught me how worthy I was and I deserved to be treated with kindness and tenderness.
      I get teary eyed when I hear this song and any by Sinatra and Andy W.😢

      I'm really enjoying your exploration of music beyond rap.
      The man who hosted this show, Andy Williams, was also a very talented singer. I highly recommend Speak Softly Love.

    Yes. 1955. This song will always and forever be Bobby Hatfield's song. Live performance, his parents were in the audience and he had a cold. No pressure there. It is all down to one's own preference. Check out The Righteous Brothers' "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Ebb Tide".

    You had to have talent to sing back then .. no auto tune, no re-takes, no gimmicks .. just pure God given talent. Bobby is a counter tenor know as blue eyed soul! Check out You've Lost that Lovin Feeling (most played song of the 20th century) also Bobby singing Summertime and both singing When you Walk Through a storm

    • @pharamathews5152

      "When You Walk Through A Storm" is actually called "You'll Never Walk Alone" and the Righteous Brothers performed it live on The Ed Sullivan Variety Hour" TV show. "You Lost That Loving Feeling" was performed on the TV show Shindig. That's also where Bobby did his solo of "Summertime".

    This performance is considered one of the best LIVE performances EVER recorded. Remember, no enhancements back in those days. YT has shared that this video is among the most listened to ...globaly, if not THEEE most listened to. This song, by Bobby Hatfield was on the radio alll the time during the Veitnam war....many many young couples separated and yearning for each other. This was a BIG TIME WEDDING song in those days. Bobby was 25 when he performed this live, and his Mother was in the audience. He had a bit of a cold, and was so glad he got thru the song. So so so so so beautiful.

      When Andy asked them how they got their name and Bobby è😮, you can tell by his breathing that he was suffering not just a cold but serious stage fright.

    The Original was recorded in 1955 before Bobby sang it for a movie called unchained by Hy Zaret. It was recorded by over 670 singers worldwide. I love Elvis but no one can ever take this song from Bobby Hatfield. I grew up to this and I watched Bobby sing this the night it was on The Andy Williams show. No one has sung it with Bobby’s range.
    Bill was joking when he said he didn’t think it would be a hit. He has the deeper voice of the two. They often sang alone but together they were amazing and called Blue Eyed Soul. Try You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling or Soul and Inspiration to hear them together. Thank you.

      Whenever i watch the movie ghost it always makes me ,im being honest i cant help but shed several tears.
      .its a
      Very emotional sentimental song...its very strong with a lot of sentimental meaning...its one of the best love songs of all times, and there is guite a few, but im sure a lot of people dont remember, like from the movie Love Story, or Too Sir WITH Love...Which was a Big Hit At Every Highschool Graduation when i was in school, and that was like 30 some odd years ago...but if you get a chance to ever want to see a real true tearjerker movie than watch To Sir WITH Love...Starring Sidney Portia. But i might have spelled he's last name wrong. But please its a down right wonderful family movie to watch...You need a box of tissues 😢

    Bobby's original recorded version was the one used on Ghost. Bobby had a 4 octave counter tenor voice and was showing his range in this version on national tv. Bobby was 24 here, suffered from stage fright, was nerbous and dealing with a cold, and his mother was in the audience to hear him sing this song live for the first time. Bobby Hatfield owns this song. His rendition is a soft, gentle , beautiful love song and is the best. Elvis' cover of this is great and done in his style. There have been well over 650 covers of this song over the yesrs. The actor/singer, Jonathan Jackson did a version I very much like, but again, this is Bobby Hatfield's.song. Now this song came from a little known 1955 prison movie call Unchained. This song in that movie was the original and 3 other people covered it before Bobby's version, he took it to the next level; is the best and always will be. The violins and Bobby's voice are what makes this song. And remember, this was live in 1965 ( no autotune, no retskes). Its just a man, his voice and a tiny mic.

    What was so awesome was this was the first time that Bobby Hatfield got to sing to his mom in the audience listening! People not a vera get upset when they see live music and no one’s dancing around or enjoying themselves, but there were rules for TV back then and you were told to sit quietlyhe had dress appropriately, etc. just as you were going to the opera or something you know. Bobby had a very special. He had a five range and could switch in and out so smoothly and quickly. They were an awesome team together.

    This is one of my favorite songs that I’ve watched reactors react to. Then I discovered Dimash Qudaibergen . He has a six octave range and the most beautiful voice ever. He sings in 14 languages and plays 7 instruments. He is now 30 and has been classically trained, basically since he was five. Many reactors start with the French song SOS. Many reactors get chills all over their body with his singing. Also, I would recommend Sinful Passion. Every song has its own beauty and shocking surprises. His fans across the globe will flock to your channel when they notice you’re going to react to him. Good luck. ❤😊

    The Righteous Brothers were known as "Blue-eyed Soul" music. They were first popular locally on the west coast, had local hit record and hosted a local teen show off and on. 60 years ago they were asked to be one of 3 opening acts for the Beatles first big tour of America. But after a few weeks they left, they had gotten a recording contract, and the rest is history. Bill is still alive. Bobby died from a heart attack at age 63 in 2003 in a Kalamazoo MI hotel room on tour with Bill. Just 60 minutes from my house. as reactors on youtube go, the girls and women still melt in their seats when they see and her this performance. From the grave Bobby still has an extraordinary effect.

    Nobody covering the song could match Bobby for the pure raw talent, the clearness of notes, the range, the breath control, the pure ease of which he sings it. Bobby's is by far the best version of the song. This performance is also the best live performance of a song ever. No, not for showmanship, because he wasn't a showman, but for the raw talent of his singing of the song. No male singer has been able to match Bobby's level of pure god given talent. Few female artists have been able to match that level of pure vocal talent. Remember this was 1965 and yes, it was cleaned up, but, not enhanced. This was what you got from Bobby in a live performance.

    This came from the movie Unchained. It is on You Tube. Bobby Hatfield had a beautiful falsetto. Righteous Brothers are icons. This song is so beautiful. Bobby is no longer with us. RIP. Bill Medley is still here and singing. He and Jennifer sang the song Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing. This is another one you need to check out along with You've Lost That Loving Feeling. Love your reaction!

      Bobby did NOT sing falsetto! That note was well within his 3 (or more) octave range! Just because a man sings a high note doesn't mean it's falsetto. Once in a while, you are privileged to hear someone with a rare natural talent.

    I cried through the movie Ghost. Any movie that touches on someone losing a spouse or a beloved pet always makes me cry… so this song always makes me tear up when I hear it.

    There’s no debate, this is THE version. We need to get back to having singers and musicians like this, genuine talent performed honestly

    The song was written for a movie about a prisoner. The movie scene showed a black man sitting on his bunk singing about his lady and all of the inmates listening and missing their own ladies.

    This is one of my favorite songs that I’ve watched reactors react to. Then I discovered Dimash Qudaibergen . He has a six octave range and the most beautiful voice ever. He sings in 14 languages and plays 7 instruments. He is now 30 and has been classically trained, basically since he was five. Many reactors start with the French song SOS. Every song has its own beauty and shocking surprises. His fans across the globe will flock to your channel when they notice you’re going to react to him. Good luck. ❤😊

    I have always said this is the best vocal performance I ever heard.
    Just hitting the notes in the melody would be hard enough but the control in the runs is insane.

    There is no debate. The brothers own this song. Period. ❤❤❤❤ for context, this was for a movie Unchained, about a prisoner and time going by so slowly, hoping she will wait for him, gives a massive amount of context of how slowly time can go by as a prisoner and how well this was conveyed, in perfection by only Bobby! ❤❤❤

    This one IS the BEST -- and Bobby did it with a very heavy cold as shown by his labored breathing in the conversation before. Also, he was extremely nervous because his mother was in the audience, seeing him perform for the first time. Bobby's huge vocal range is known as counter-tenor. On a metaphysical level this song touches us deeply as it is the call of the loved to the Great Beloved.

    His mother was in the audience and was in tears by the end.
    Try their song "You've Lost that loving feeling " with Cher as a backup singer ... it is a heartbreaking duet.
