first time reacting to the righteous brothers-unchained melody 

​@dunsonhouse Here is Another Song From the same time period. I think you'll like this one. Elvis Presley's "IF I CAN DREAM" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u-pP_dCenJA.htmlsi=8lL-UbDFgk7A_ycx From his 68 Comeback Special, this was Elvis's Heartfelt and Powerful Tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, after his Assasination in Memphis Tennessee where Elvis Lived. It is Based on the message of MLK's "I Have A Dream" Speech, and was written for him with this in mind. It also honored the Memory of Robert F Kennedy, who was also Assasinated during the same time period. This was a Turbulent Time in America, 🇺🇸 with the Civil Rights Movement, Protests and Riots against Vietnam War and it seemed as if the Country was being torn apart and Elvis wanted to bring a Message of Hope and Unity to the Nation. "If I Can Dream" is at it's heart, a Civil Rights Song.

The guys were in a 5 member group called the Paramours. A few black Marines from the El Toro Marine base in Orange county California heard there were white guys singing R&B in the club Jon's Black Derby in Santa Ana. They went to check them out and loved them. On weekends, during the entire time the guys were at the club, the Marines would drop by. One especially would shout out that's righteous, brothers after numbers he liked. When encountering them coming and going, he would say things like how ya doing righteous brothers. When Bobby and Bill recorded Little Latin Lupe Lu without the rest of the group, they needed a name. Bobby suggested they use the name the Marines were calling them. And so, the Righteous Brothers were born. (A total aside: Orange county has a very small black population. It's possible those Marines were the only black people in audience. I only mention this because you said the audience was predominantly black.)

I was wondering about that.

Me too. He seemed nervous but then he started to sing. Wow! ​@@janethards16

I think I read that his mother was in the audience, hence the reaction at the start.

He had an upper respiratory infection. This made him short of breath

68 and their on the Andy Williams show, first song 1962, you've lost that loving feeling on top gun and ghost all the songs of are era is played in movies

Facts

I concur

Works both ways... I remember first hearing Johnny Mathis and we all thought he was White.

Indeed

It was 1962 in southern California. Bobby was a fan of Sam Cooke, but his style is totally his own in all the genres of music that he sang.

Thanks for listening

Thank you! I've been watching many of these reactions on RU-vid and I kept thinking how it must have been a Viet Nam war anthem. It makes too much sense for it not to be. One female reactor here said her knees were shaking! lol My God but Bobby could sing! and Bill was also fantastic. I love his dry wit. Hilarious!

Many of the songs of this era we turned into 'our' songs. CCR holds a special place in our hearts. So cool that you see where I'm comin' from... Thank You.@@thepabs911

These days, there isn't any real singers, just electronic bs.

Bill Medley is phenomenal in that one!

Bill received those records for "I've Had the Time of My Life with Jennifer Warnes from Dirty Dancing! In 1990 the record company wasn't going to initially release Unchained Melody, so Bobby went in the recording studio and recorded a new version! Then the record company released the 1965 version and the Righteous Brothers became the only artists so far to have two versions of the same song in the top 20 at the same time!
