FIRST TIME REACTING TO.....Righteous Brothers -- Unchained Melody (Live, 1965) - REACTION!!!!!!!!! 

They both sounded better live than on their records.

This performance all by itself was enough to make Bobby Hatfield a legend for all time.

Bobby Hatfield is magnificent and he gave us a masterpiece when he was on the Andy Williams show. It will never be forgotten.

Remember this was LIVE TV back in 1965. RIP Bobby.

"You Lost That Loving Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers

I was 10 years old when I saw Bobby on Andy Williams in 1965! This song still gives me chills and tears 58 years later! EASILY the best solo performance of ALL time, and I doubt any singer today could even approach the AMAZING voice Bobby had!

This is not a song. This is The Ultimate Anthem Of Love! And your reaction is just fantastic. Thank You!

Man wore the hell outta that pink suit too. 😎 Plus he was sick with a cold during this performance. LEGEND!! 👏👏

No auto tune here. No gimmicks just voice!

Nobody does this song better than Bobby

This is soul music … the term ‘blue-eyed soul’ was originated for Bobby and Bill. They were one of the first white groups to throw deep emotion into their singing and they were phenomenally popular in the sixties. Bobby’s high tenor (3 and a half octaves) was pitch perfect and Bill’s bass baritone could shake your bones. Their harmonies were uncannily tight and beautiful, but they started out in straight rock and roll. ‘Little Latin Lupe Lu’ , written by Bill was their first hit an covered by dozens of bands from Mitch Rider to Bruce Springsteen. Also ‘My Babe’, Justine!, and Koko Jo. They sang blues - ‘I Just Wanna Make Love to You’, ‘Summertime’ and gospel. Their first Billboard #1 was the ballad ‘You’ve Lost that Lovin Feeling’ and that song was the most played song of the 20th century, only overtaken in about 2015 by ‘Highway to Heave’. So these guys have a lot to offer and they sang together for 40 years, although Bobby died in 2003, his partner Bill is still singing to full houses. BTW … if you chose to listen to Justine, take the studio version…. It was a bit raunchy and when they sang it on TV they had to ‘sanitize’ it😁

the fact that his live recording, done in front of an audience, is objectively better than the actual recorded song speaks volumes to the level of talent this man had...It wasn't his song originally, and many MANY people have recorded versions of it since it was released. But NOBODY, will EVER, do this song better than Bobby did it. This is his song for all time. RIP Bobby Hatfield.

OMG when these guys came out in 1964 we went crazy over them. I was 15 yrs when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show in 1965. He owns this song. No one sang this song better than Bobby. RIP Bobby! 🙏💖

"You've lost that loving feeling " by Righteous Brothers

Bobby was nervous because his mom was in the audience.

"Soul & Inspiration" by the Righteous Brothers

Heartfelt and perfect

Blue eyed soul! Love them

Pure talent..no light shows,smoke etc

And they said he was nervous because his mom was in the audience. Wow

Summertime by Bobby. You will never forget it. You can’t go wrong with The Rat Pack and rubbing elbows in an Italian neighborhood lolll My dad introduced his 6 children to all flavors of music and this was a priceless gift. The 60’s rabbit hole Ray. Hold on tight , your in for a wild ride. I’m so happy I was awake for this reaction Thanks

Perfection 💕💕💕

This performance was on the Andy Williams Show, a weekly 1 hour variety show. I remember seeing it live. His Mom and aunt was in the audience and he was so nervous.

Nobody sings it better than Bobby. I've been an Elvis fan since I was 11 and I love him like no other but this song belongs to Bobby Hatfield. Thank you for another entertaining review. You make me laugh so much.

Oh my, young man, going down the rabbit hole of 60's music will literally blow your mind lol. I am 73 and this was the music of my teenage years. From Motown, the Beatles, Acid rock, Janis Joplin, the list goes on and on. The biggest make out artist was Johnny Mathis but this song would have been called a panty dropper, lol. If you like the rat pack you would love Perry Como and Nat King Cole. Just heard you say "panty dropper" and laughed!

This is Bobby's song, no one sings it better. This was called blue eyed soul. An added tidbit, Bobby's ancestral family were "The Hatfields" of the legendary Hatfields and McCoys fued.

Bobby Hatfield has such a legendary voice, this was special for him as his mother was in the audience, he was very nervous at the beginning but absolutely killed it

The very BEST version of this song!!❤️❤️❤️

Bobby had a rare voice called a countertenor, which is the equivalent of a high soprano in a female singer. Most men who have had his voice were Italian opera singers called castrati which means they had been castrated to preserve the voice. That made Bobby even more special because he had it and didn't lose it. He'd probably still be alive if not for his having a cocaine induced heart attack in his sleep 21 years ago.

Imagine how many children have been produced with this song playing in the background.

Vibe, it's OK to cry. This song has been super since the 50s. When you chair dance go slow. ❤❤❤😂😢😢😢😢😢😎✌️

This performance was a zillion times better than the studio cut released on the B side of a 45 and charted twice. DJ's played it rather than the A side: Hung On You. Thanks for such a heartfelt reaction. Bobby and his talent will be forever etched in our minds and hearts. PS: the lyrics were written in 1955 for a movie, Unchained, about a man incarcerated.

Insane never realized it was just him singing very impressive

You lost that loving feeling is a good one to react to.

Effortless. Real talent.

Multi-Academy Award winning music composer Alex North who has written compositions for various movies like: Spartacus [1960], 2001 A Space Odyssey [1968], A streetcar Named Desire [1945], Cleopatra [1963], Dragon Slayer [1980], Death of A Salesman [1951], and Unchained [1955]. Alex North music composition and Lyricist Hy Zaret together wrote one of the greatest love songs ever in "Unchained Melody." They wrote it as the music score for the 1955 movie "Unchained." Ten years later in 1965 on the Andy Williams Show. Bobby Hatfield of the 'Righteous Brothers' along with the Andy Williams Orchestra gave the greatest live performance in the history of (Live) television. It was one for the ages. It has become the quintessential version of them all. The rest as they say is history...

I was born in the 50s we had the best music and awesome singers

The ultimate love song.. in my opinion

I love your reaction. This recording took place when I was an infant. I grew up listening to the Righteous Brothers. Even after hearing it many times, I am still affected by his vocals. Bobby didn't write this song, but his performance made it his. No one has been able to compete with him on this.

Just a phenomenal performance by one of the greatest voices of all time. Great reaction!

You’ve got to listen to the Righteous Brothers “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feeling” black and white stage version!

it's said that he had high anxiety backstage before performed this song 🎵. even threw up. his mom was in the audience, first time performing live, he slayed it.

Raw talent...Miss this, nothing like it today...Enjoyed your critique...

Back in the days daughters were told not to dance to this song at prom.

Thanks, Vibe! Bobby Hatfield was amazing.. LIVE.. with no screaming or straining (and of course, no "autotune") - just effortless timing and silk... and I also heard that he was nervous about this performance b/c his MOM was in the audience... lol

I 💖💖💖💖 your reactions 🙌 You are a joy to watch, no joke 💯 Plus listening to you makes me nostalgic. Not a New Yorker, but originally I'm a Jersey girl 😁 But all the guys my Dad used to work with and hang out with were all Brooklyn guys. Anyway, I grew up listening to all kinds of old- school music that was before my time. I absolutely 💗😍 this type of music. Not to say I don't also appreciate other kinds of music, I do. I'm pretty open- minded when it comes to music actually. So just a little FYI: "Unchained Melody" was actually written by Alex North and Hy Zaret back in 1955 for a little known film called "Unchained". The plot was centered around this man who got arrested and convicted and was conflicted about whether he should just do his time and hope his wife was still there waiting for him or if he should escape and take his chances in an effort to be with his wife and live life on the run. A Black- American opera singer by the name of Robert Todd Duncan was actually the first guy to sing this song and he first sang it in the movie, playing a bit part as one of the inmates. Robert Todd Duncan was something of a trail blazer, actually. He was one of the very first Black- American opera singers to sing before integrated audiences back in the 1930's. (He refused to sing in theaters where audiences were segregated.) Another Black- American singer by the name of Roy Hamilton would soon cut his own version of "Unchained Melody" on the heels of the release of Robert Todd Duncan's version. The movie didn't break any waves but the song "Unchained Melody" for the movie became a hit. Roy Hamilton was actually one of Elvis's idols and Elvis got to meet him in 1969 at American Sound Studios. There's some film footage and some pictures of Elvis and Roy hanging out. According to Bill Medley, it was Roy Hamilton's version of "Unchained Melody" that was both Bobby's and Elvis's favorite. They both admired Roy Hamilton as a vocalist. Bill Medley is a bass- baritone and still alive and still does live performances and is still putting out albums. Bobby Hatfield was a natural counter- tenor and died in 2003. The other guy in the pink turtleneck was Andy Williams. Only song I know of his is "Moon River". (My elders weren't fans of his, obviously). Now as for more Righteous Brothers suggestions: "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" "Soul And Inspiration" "You'll Never Walk Alone" "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" "Brown- Eyed Woman" "Ebb Ride" "Guess Who" "Justine" & those are just off the top of my head. My Dad loved The Righteous Brothers. So I grew up listening to them (amongst a lot of other old- school greats). If you want other reaction suggestions of this type of music, I'm gonna put in two requests now: "Since I Don't Have You" by The Skyliners & "Up On The Roof" by The Drifters. Two of my Dad's personal favorites right there. Thank you, thank you, thank you oh so much to whomever requested this one & a big thank you to you, Mr. Vibe, sir, for reacting to this one 💪👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹 My sincere well wishes to you & yours 💕

The man interviewing them is the legendary singer Andy Williams who is well worth reacting to ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I so enjoyed this your reaction. He make ot look so effortlessly when he hits his notes. It actually looks like he is holding that voice back...

So much talent

Bobby had the rarest vocal range. He was a countertenor, which allowed him to reach the soprano range with no strain, no falsetto.

They both sang “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling”. Gotta do it.

I love them!!!❤️🔥 One of my favorite songs by them!! Definitely listen to You lost that love and feeling!!!

Love the way you describe his voice as butter pouring out of his throat, and silk you can drape your face in. It’s exactly that ! Note also that, as much as his voice is pitched very high, it is smooth and buttery throughout the registers - never edgy or freakish. That makes his middle register actually sound low. Only Elvis had that kind of seamless transition between registers.

Check out the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'." And "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration."

Love this era. "You lost that Lovin Feeling" 🥰🥰🥰🥰💃💃💃💃

My mom took my sister and me to a dinner show in our early teens in Tahoe. I didn't appreciate her music then but listening to Elvis, the Righteous Brothers, and so many other artists really makes me appreciate some wonderful music. Our mom would kick us out of the apartment on Saturday mornings so she could clean (we didn't do a thorough job - lol-and no job is worth doing, if not doing it well - but that says more about my upbringing than the song.) Great lyrics, though!! I'm glad that you played it!

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling." Also Elvis did both of these songs too. I'm sure you'll get to those since you're on this Oldies Goodies trip like I am.

Originally sung in an old movie. The scene, a man in prison singing about being incarcerated and longing for his wife. "I'll be coming home, wait for me"

"You've Lost That Loving Feeling: by the Righteous Bros should be next!!! AND...if you would deign to consider it..."Bernadette" by the Four Tops. Motown, baby!!!

You've lost that loving feeling by the Righteous Brothers....Also, I would love to see your reaction to another set of brothers called, The Teskey Brothers. They are an Australian blues, rock, soul band. I would suggest these three songs to start with, Rain (a colors show), Pain and Misery and Hold me.

Bobby's mother was in the audience, and he could see her and so wanted to do an especially awesome performance for her, that is why he smiles at the end as well. He surely did and knocked right out of the park. Here is a couple songs they sang, My Soul and My Heart's Inspiration, You've Lost That Lovin Feeling.

I like the butter analogy, I've always thought velvet.

Awesome!.. The one & only Bobby Hatfield.. I was 12 at the time; 70 now... He had such a lovely smooth voice, hitting those high notes.... Always gets me emotional.. 🙏🙂

I JUST FOUND YOU! The energy you are throwing out from the screen is awesome love your channel man!❤

Love them 🔥❤️ I think it’s always interesting to listen to people talk back then, such an intelligent and graceful way of talking. Makes us seem like heathens 😂

Btw, we used 19 cent a can Aqua Net hair spray from the days of the bee hive hair do. Use enough and your hair wouldn't move in a windstorm, lol.

The Classics are the best❤❤❤ Beautiful ❤❤❤

Do "you've list that loving feeling" its pretty amazing

Glad you watching Righteousness Brothers BEST

Soul and Inspiration, You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling. Listen to some BeeGees, Staying Alive. Too Much Heaven ❤️

Summertime by the righteous brothers great song must play this

His rendition of EBB TIDE

Thank you - I enjoyed watching & listening. :D My favorite song/recording of all time, altho I love a lot of songs/recordings - lol.

From the film "ghost" with woopi Goldberg, demi Moore and Patrick swayze. The baroness from denmark, with love.

Bobby Hatfield did the best cover of this song by far. But the original was from ten years earlier by Todd Duncan. The lyrics is about an inmate locked up hoping that his love is strong enough for her to wait.

I love your face. It shows how this moves you. ❤

This song was the anthem of our servicemen in Vietnam Prato g that their wives and girlfriends would still be waiting for them when they got home…if they even made it.

Soul & Inspiration

The delicate percussion beat and relentless bass line, to me, sound like a clock, measuring the time the "singer" and his "main squeeze" have spent apart, the time they must face apart in the future as well. He's got to ask her if the time they've been separated has changed her mind about being together. He's GOT to know!

Johny Mathis also has a silky voice

YOU`VE GOT THAT LOVIN` FEELING...OFF THE HOOK.. SAME BROS

Your reaction was the best man ever

Tell me how he made it look so effortless, he didn’t even look like he was really trying.. Lawd, I was born in the wrong generation..

I really enjoyed your reaction, and I've seen scores of reaction videos to this performance.

That old school smooth will never come back around, what a shame is old guy are …. Well getting older 😂

Grew up with moms blasting this in the 80’s &90’s must be why I was told I had an old school at such a young age???Errr once younger age lol And yeah- errybody know the song. They just don’t know who was actually singing it until they watched. Hell- other than mommas vinyl record, I ain’t know either lol. All I knew was Motown but maybe that’s bc moms is half n half? I ain’t got a clue but I knew good music when I heard it!

You'll Never Walk Alone video from the Ed Sullivan Show is another one that I enjoy.

This song is the greatest love letter ever written.. fight me. IDC. Lol. Bobby Hatfield was a legend.

Excellent reaction

Excellent reaction! I’m still keeping my eye out at flea markets for that one 45 RPM still around without the grooves worn off. I’ll be a rich man.

Watch "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" and you'll get to hear both brothers from different mothers and fathers.

I love the two ways you can get that high note...!

You go Ray feel that music and let your body move

Ha! Great reaction 😂

I love your reactions! The best! 😂

Bring some Four Seasons or Ole Blue Eyes to the channel for these young people. Great song and reaction.

Just so you are aware, Hy Zaret wrote the lyrics and Alex North did the music back in 1955 for a prison movie called Unchained. I'm thinking that's probably why the other Righteous Brother thought the song wouldn't do well...lol

Btw, in my neighborhood we called it the same! Just need to say. For what it's worth, I really dig your reactions. ❤️✌️

This is fun to watch!

What they saying is called blue-eyed soul
