You really need to listen to Marcelito Pomoy singing "The Prayer". He does dual voices of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli...he is truly amazing and will blow you away!!
You'll love their songs "soul and inspiration," as well as "I just wanna make love to you." Their whole catalog was amazing. You might want to check out Bill Medleys hit from the movie Dirty Dancing, "We had the time of our life."
@@electrictroy2010 I'm sorry, but you're wrong. My aunt and uncle were at the taping of the Andy Williams show that night. Bobby just had that incredible voice, that's all.
@@gregengel1616 yes, there was a "wall of sound with the music, but it what these youngsters don't know is that there were multiple instruments...piano, violins, guitars...etc playing the exact same notes. There was no auto tune nor was there any manipulation of their voices. This was a live performance.
My dad always played the Righteous Brothers to my mum, to get in her good books, and it worked every time, he now has dementia but when mum plays this for him he sings it to her. ❤️ your reaction
That is beautiful...it brings tears to my eye because I know how healing music can be...if only we can convince many, many more of our friends that it is. May your mom and dad be blessed!!!
Studies have shown that music memory is stored in a different part of the brain than the kinds of memories affected by some kinds of dementia, so music therapy is helpful for people with dementia.
Bill Medley is the deep voice. Bobby Hatfield is the high voice. This was the most requested and most played song of the 20th century. Pretty incredible isn't it.? Love this song. It's timeless. ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Your simple explanation is the best I've seen -- to say Bobby's a counter-tenor and Bill is a bass-baritone is a bit much for many people.I (However, I said it anyway!)
@@jezebeljones659 thank you. You're very kind. And your explanation was so good and very intelligent. I wish I could have explained it that way but I didn't have the correct words. 👍
@@trudywolfe2795 Thank you, Trudy, but I still say your explanation of the whole thing is perfect. Not everybody is up on these technical terms, nr do they have to be. I think you nailed it in a way anybody could understand. However we say it, I think we all agree on this --Bill and Bobby rule!
1960's....not computers, no overdubs, no twenty studio takes... this is LIVE. These were the guys who the phrase " Blue eyed soul" was first uttered about. I saw a meme on the other days that said...." We grew up in the 60's and had the coolest cars, hair and.....MUSIC!!!" True very true...
@@tomholm4456 It might have been live vocals sung to the backing track, but I'm not certain. That was done a lot then. Phil Spector's thumbprint was all over this production.
@@williamvalentino8788 this one wasn't live. It was clearly the studio version. However, there is a live version you can also find on RU-vid and they sing it even better than the studio version
Bobby Bill and I grew up together. I started playing and recording drums with them when I was 15. Greatest guys you'd ever know. I left them to join Redbone ("Come and Get your Love")
Born in 1934 I was already in my thirties by the time these guys came along and I got a chance to sing back up.....I don't sing anymore, my lungs are gone, but what you youngsters have to understand is, simply, these recordings are LIVE not produced in a quiet room putting 150 tracks over each other....just TWO guys singing with soul and beauty. Love to know what was done years ago is still appreciated today.
now you know what your parents and grandparents mean when they say "they don't make songs like we use to".... no digital aids... no lip sync.... this was live TV.... just simply, raw talent... peace
You look up "perfect harmonies" and you'll see Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield staring back at you. Their unique individual voices blended incredibly well. Talents on loan from the gods.
@@MrVvulf I liked them as well.. Grew up listening to Phil & Don. I put Bill & Bobby in a different category however as the Everly's voices were extremely similar and their voices were in my inexpert opinion, "easier" to harmonize than the uncanny blending of the RB's baritone and tenor. Again, just my opinion but I see the Righteous Brothers as a bit more of lightning in a bottle.... but many of my favorite songs from that time were from both the Everlys and the RB. I feel blessed to have grown up during such a magical time for music. With VERY rare exceptions I see today's music as dreck... absent of heart & soul.
@@quentinmichel7581 Have you seen what passes for talent today? I watched a video by two gals and an "astronaut." and was immediately appalled., turned it off. I used to think that the Grammys owed Bill and Bobby an honorary Grammy. But I don't know if they belong in that sort of company.
@@dawnaberry8452 Don't even get me started on that...lol. I'm always giving my son grief about the less than stellar talent around today. Nobody pays their dues anymore. Everybody wants to be famous yesterday without natural skills or working at it. ... and counting on artificial enhancements to camouflage absent talents.
@@MrVvulf I love the Everly Brothers too but their voices do not hold the contrast of Bill Medley’s smooth deep bass voice blending seamlessly with Bobby Hatfield’s perfect pitch tenor voice
I'm 71, and listening to this...made me cry. I remember being 14 and clueless about love, but so touched by this emotional song. I got chills. As you said, pure, raw talent. LIVE! No electronic tinkering, no soul numbing studio crap, just voices full of heart and melody and soul. One of the most beautiful performances ever recorded.
One of the greatest songs in history. Peerless performance. Never to be duplicated singing. Freezes your attention. Perfect wall-of-sound production . Background choir effect breaks your heart. Simple lyrics, the essence of “less is more” poetry. Thanks for the great reaction. It sounded real and genuine.
My father went to school with these guys back in the late 50's, early 60's in Santa Ana, California, and he told me that many a young lady lost her virtue to the dulcet singing of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield.... This is what REAL singing sounds like- No recording studio tricks or digital fabrication. Just honest to goodness talent.
Grew up with these guys in the 60"s. Motown was on fire and these 2 guys came in and were nicknamed. 'Blue Eyed Soul". Sound as good now 55 years later.
BLUE EYED SOUL AT IT'S FINEST !!!! Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. They are true talent. I feel sorry for today's young people not having as much true talent as we had in the 60's 70's and 80's. I was a teen when this was recorded.
Your reaction was priceless!!! You're gonna want to react next to "Soul & Inspiration" by The Righteous Brothers because they always deliver "the goods!!!" These soulful brothers hit you with their "Thunder" (Bill Medley = deep baritone voice) & "Lightning" (Bobby Hatfield (R.I.P.) = high tenor voice) and their voices blend together so perfectly, they are like "peanut butter & jelly!!!"
They called it blue eyed soul for a reason hun. The brothers could flat out bring it. Saw them live in reno , no auto tune needed just GOD given talent
They are NATIONAL TREASURES! Best Harmony Duo Ever, song most played on radio ever! Still going,! They are EPIC!!! Lots of babies conceived to them!!! No big surprise! Loved reaction! Thanks! ✌🏼🤟🏼
I enjoy watching these younger people's faces and reactions to all of my favorite Righteous Brothers songs I use to play back in the day and listened to with my girlfriends at the time between 1964 - 1966. What a time it was to be a teenager.
A teen in the 50's, early 20's in the 60's, great music, Bill and Bobby! What more could we have asked for?? They were great as a duo, and equally as great as soloists. We miss Bobby so much, but Bill is still with us and still singing.
Your reactions are priceless. LOVED THIS! If you watched Top Gun, this was the song they sang in the diner. Also, if you ever saw Dirty Dancing, the song, I've Had the Time of My Life is Bill Medley from the Righteous Brothers. They are truly Blue Eyed Soul.
I loved watching you react to this great song. I was 16 when this hit the charts in Dec. 1964. WOW !! Your eyes an told the story of how much you enjoyed the performance !! Love it !!
He's still alive AND he was actually on tour when the COVID lockdowns happened, just a couple of weeks shy of coming to my hometown to perform. Hopefully I'll be able to see him on the rescheduled concert date!
This song came out when my mother was just 4 years old. I'm 44 now, and I grew up listening to this on the radio and had absolutely no idea how old the song was until I started seeing people react to it on RU-vid. It's pretty timeless. Music like that is the best music because it simply never goes out of style.
Back when I was younger, I took my date to the Righteous Brothers concert. That was many decades ago and I still remember as if it was yesterday. Yes, Bill Medley's voice had the amazing baritone voice and Bobby Hatfield complimented their duo. As I approach my 70th birthday this year, I will always have those memories.
I just subscribed. I was born in 1965, so I was too young to hear this on the radio when it was brand new. But growing up, l always heard it on the radio. The point I want to make is that you should never be jealous of people who were exposed to previous eras of music. You have access to ALL of this music now. Back in the day, we would have to wait hours or days for our favorite song to come on the radio. Today, you can call it up any time you want. Today, it's a challenge to know what music to experience, but because of technology, ( RU-vid), you have people to guide you to great music! How amazing is that???
The most played song of the 20th century, it was estimated that this song hit the airwaves some 8 million times,i ur reaction was fantastic, ur facial expressions to each of the singers and their harmony was both priceless and spot on. Ur ear for talent cannot be questioned. If anyone says otherwise, tell them that a 63 year old peckerwood said , shut up, the woman is good, actually. Way better than good. Love ur reaction darlin...
This song is slamming because it's actually called Blue eyes soul. Lot of people now know it because it was used in the movie top gun. But the righteous Brothers was one of the few blue-eyed soul Stars that passed every line including the racial line.
@@DrewsClues Please react to a 1974 jam released by jazz legend Miles Davis' wife: *They Say I'm Different* Betty Davis I think you might be pleasantly surprised. 👊😉
My wife and I had the blessed opportunity to see the RB live at the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange Co, Ca. in 1967. We also watched Bill Medley perform in a small nightclub in Huntington Beach Ca in 1973. They were fantastic live and this song was the most played song in history on the radio in the 20th century. I recall that it was #1 on the charts in 1964 for something like 16 weeks. There has never been a better singing duo than these two talented guys.
These guys give you hope for humanity! ----- with the help of music like this maybe we can survive the idiocy around us today and live on as a nation and as a people!!!!
Yes! They bring back that inspiration we used to have! It is a reminder of what we once had, but possibly can attain again. The tears streamed when I heard this again.
One of my absolute favourite songs, just started learning how to play this on my acoustic guitar, this song always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it 😊
Loving your reactions. Watching your face and seeing the emotions while listening to their music takes me back to being a teenager and hearing them the first time. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane of feelings.
OMG , This the BEST react i ever seen. Many people watching this , with a face of stainless steel . Your react is a 10 out 10 . You are Amazing ! Go on , beautiful lady .
I feel compelled to add two more comments. First...I grew up with this kind of music. My generation had so many different artists to appreciate back then. So as I watch "younger" people enjoying the songs that were of that era, I can't help but feel a little sad that they don't have anything to compare to this today. Second....no one ever reacts to what I find is just as fun in this video as the music itself. Did you notice how "cool as the center seed of a cucumber" Bobby is just sitting back there waiting for his turn to sing? It's as if he's thinking: "Well, time for me to get up and join in now"
Just subscribed. Love your genuine reactions. You have a lovely spirit and shine bright. I love looking back in time with these old videos. Brings back wonderful memories and helped many of us get through 2020. You are a blessing. Thanks from South Carolina.
South Carolina is Sooooo beautiful...I am happy you enjoyed your time with me! We need all the help we can get to make it through these days...thank you for subscribing❤️
I'm well known for my ability to discern what other people are saying when they are trying to hide their true feelings--its like a sixth sense. I'm picking up that you rather liked this! : This was the first record I bought with my first wage when I was 15,and it STILL sounds terrific ( the performance, not the record, a vinyl 45RPM, after i'd played it to destruction, it crackled and banged more than WW2! Great reaction., so good to see someone your age getting the same you from this that I did. Well, not quite, I got to dance to it with chicks at the local youth club hop!
Oh...I like this alright...I can’t really describe in words what it does but there is feel good thing about this music...I would to this anytime...it makes me want to hug...smile...you know what the song itself makes me feel like it is hugging 🤗 me!!!❤️
@@DrewsClues I could describe in words what it does to you--it makes you yearn for romance with a man who would love you deeply. I hope you find it :-) Btw, your "LIke" button doesn'y work, I clicked it, Doesn't bother me, but I'm letting you know in case it effects your monetarisation or search ranking?
Just a great reaction.....now for you, dear, is to explore ALL the great talent the 60's and 70's had to offer......now YOU go and enjoy...it's ALL there for you.......you're welcome, from a child of the 60's....
The best reaction videos are when the person reacting is really overwhelmed by the excellence of transcendent talent. For too many reactors it's about them. You can tell. They're thinking too much about how they look and if they're cool enough. When someone is blown away and just enjoys it then it's truly enjoyable to see. Good job.
How good and popular were The Righteous Brothers back in day you ask"--Well when The Beatles arrived and captured the hearts of America they began their American concert tour in 1964 and who did the Beatles ask to be their opening act for this historic tour?--that's right it was the Righteous Brothers who opened for the Beatles in August & September 1964. By the way one of those background singers in this song that you saw on stage toward the end of the song was a not yet famous young lady named CHER!
Yes Cher is one of those singers. Phil Spector was the producer of the song and he had formed a group of background singers called "The Wall of Sound" that he would use on many of the songs he produced at that time and Cher was an unknown singer who Spector knew and heard sing and asked to become a member of The Wall of Sound! As I mentioned in my second comment Bill Medley gave what I consider to be his very best singing performance ever in their #1 1966 hit "Soul & Inspiration".
I have been listening to the Righteous Brothers since I was 6 years old in 1964 if not earlier. There is no such thing as getting tired of them. They are probably the best duo in my 63 years of living. Also check out Bill Medley singing time of my life from the movie Dirty Dancing. He's doing a duet there I can't remember the lady that he singing with but they kick it out of the park.
