6 VOCAL COACH FIRST TIME REACTION TO RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS - UNCHAINED MELODY REACTION!!!😱 

Bobby Hatfield owns this song!

58 years ago, back in (1965). Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers gave what many considered the greatest (live) singing performance in television history. The host of the show "Andy Williams" in which this great performance was done. Said it best...Beautiful.

1965, no auto-tune, analog sound and recording equipment, omni-directional microphone technology, live performance, televised nationally, parents in the crowd, and Bobby had the flu. Talent.

A lot of artist have done this song since Bobby, but none have done it with the same style and vocalization as him. In my opinion nobody will ever be in his class at this song.

Would have loved to see their reactions to the last few seconds of the song, too.

I'm no expert but I do know enough about singing to hear the hours and hours Mr. Hatfield spent in front of a piano doing scales and intervals to get to this level of skill. I can't imagine how many hours it took but thank goodness he spent them.

He was one of the best singers. Underrated unfortunately, but he had a magnificent voice.

RIP Bobby! No one has sang this song like you did. I was 15 yrs old when you sang this song on the Andy Williams show.

And ladies and gentlemen, that’s how it’s done !! Beautiful

It's amazing how many people have heard this song but never actually listened to it

This song is BEAUTIFUL

Pure blue eyed soul

Love watching women's reactions to this - same as mine, fell madly in love in the first 10 seconds!

I danced to this in 1965 at my senior prom. Good memories.

He’s a countertenor.😊

No autotune at the time he had a cold

Robert Lee Hatfield (August 10, 1940 - November 5, 2003) Bobby Hatfield, who had a higher countertenor voice to Bill Medley’s William Thomas Medley (born September 19, 1940) baritone, sang lead on this track. It was his idea to record it, since Medley and Hatfield were each allowed to choose a song to sing as a solo vocalist on their albums. As Medley tells it, Hatfield knew the song well, and was a big fan of the Roy Hamilton and Al Hibbler versions of the song. In 2003, Hatfield died of a heart attack at age 63. *The Righteous Brothers version was a huge hit, but it was recorded with far more modest expectations. Phil Spector considered it album filler and released it as a B-side. The single had "Unchained Melody," with no producer credit on the label, as the flip to Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Hung on You," but many DJs preferred "Unchained Melody" and played that one instead. This infuriated Spector, who subsequently left no doubt as to which side of a Philles single was the A-side. * The famous climax of this song where Bobby Hatfield sings the high "I need your love" line wasn't how the song was written. In an interview with Bill Medley, he explained that Hatfield did two takes of the song, then left. He would often reconsider his performance and come back later to change it, and that's what he did on this track, returning to ask Medley if he could make an edit. This was no easy task, since with a maximum of four tracks to work with, you had to record over part of the original take, but Medley accommodated and Hatfield delivered that soaring vocal line. Said Medley: "I punched that in and he left. He said, 'No, I can do it better.' And I said, 'No, you can't.' [Laughs] And I think it's a big part of that song." * This was released on Philles Records, Phil Spector's label. Spector, known for his "Wall Of Sound" technique, did not produce this - Bill Medley did. In a 2007 statement to the Forgotten Hits newsletter, Medley said: "You have to remember that I was producing our stuff before Phil Spector... I mean I produced 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'My Babe' and all that stuff. Then when we went with Phil, Phil asked me if I would produce the albums because it was too time consuming for him to produce the entire albums. So he was going to do the singles and I would do the album. And so that's how that happened and that's how I produced 'Unchained Melody,' which Phil Spector apparently now takes credit for. He can have the credit. And I'm not a producer. I know how to produce. But it's obviously not a Spector production. 'Unchained Melody' was never intended to be the single... it was produced to be on the album. It was put on the B side of a Phil Spector single 'Hung On You' and the minute it was released 'Unchained Melody' just went through the roof."

Bobby did to women with his voice what Elvis did with his hips

My brain always picks up the tic-tic-tic of the staccato snare drum taps as they mimic the second hand of a clock or watch, to show how time is going by. The bass' plucked notes simultaneously slow down time with their less rapid tempo.

This was the last song that Elvis recorded before he died. Elvis's version does not hold up compared to this one by Bobby Hatfield recorded in 1965 or ones by Al Hibbler or Roy Hamilton in 1955. There have been at least 50 differend people record this song, Unchained Melody, which was a soundtrack from the Movie "Unchained".

Incroyable le coeur chante il avais. Une belle voix je danse et joublie lage mercie youtub😂❤

Hi Esther, I love your top.

This is the original but Elvis did sing it about ten years later. It was also in the movie GHOST staring Patrick Swazie

Plain and simple Bobby Hatfield owns this song. All other renditions dont come close.

12 years after Bobby Hatfield was when Elvis did his version of the song in 1977.

My goodness..Whoopie won an an OSCAR!!

Have you never seen movie GHOST?

Watch The movie GHOST

Elvis did a version of this song, but his version did not come close to Bobby Hatfield's. Bobby owns this song and no one does it better, not even Elvis.

Stop talking. Omg. We're trying to listen!!!

Die nit der Brille nervt.🙄

Esther he was singing that song to you.
