The late great Bobby Hatfield. I was 15 yrs old when I watched him sing this beautiful song on the Andy Williams show. He owns this song. Nobody sang it better than he did. RIP Bobby! You'll never be forgotten!!! ❤❤
Unchained Melody was written in 1955 for a film titled “Unchained.” It was about an incarcerated man longing for his wife. Jonny sang it live for the Valentine’s Day tribute on the Andy Williams Show, hence the coral colored suit. He looked stunning. A spectacular performance. He owns this song. No auto tone adjustments. No dancing and back up singers. He just stood and delivered this splendid performance. I am an 80 y.o. lady and it still thrills me to hear him! 🥰
What the world needs today is MORE Righteous Brothers, and LESS Cardi B. This Song is so romantic, and could be interpreted to fit so many different emotions., and situations. It is 100% cross cultural, and it actually engages you body , mind, heart, and soul. No fake auto tune, no fake artists, and no filth.
The song was originally written in 1948 and it was about a prisoner and a chain gang and was in the movie unchained. The brothers always did singles and their albums and both wanted to sing this they flip a coin and Bobby one Bill Medley after hearing him record it said he was glad he lost the flip
Totally agree, I'm listening to it since 65, loved it then and now! When Bobby teams up with other brother Bill Medley they sing great songs as You lost that Loving Feeling, Soul and Inspiration, For once in my Life, Nightime is the Right Time. Worth checking out. Best success on yr channel
I WAS there. Andy Williams show. Caught them in clubs and halls..was never an off night with them. Bobby's 6 octave range up to counter-tenor and Bill's power bass was magic.
I love and agree with everything you just said! Everyone has their own opinion, but this is mine: Best all-time live solo performance anywhere! (Along with Elvis Presley and Tom Jones and a myriad of others.) Thank You RR
THIS PERFORMANCE BY BOBBY HATFIELD BACK IN 1965 IS WHAT WE NOW CALL "X-FACTOR PLUS". RENAE, YOUR BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXPRESSION SPOKE TO US ALL. THANKYOU FOR YOUR LOVELY REACTION TO A WONDERFUL MUSICAL PERFORMER. TAKE CARE EM
Thank you very much Renee, for your honest reaction. And the information you had was spot on so you have little information to go by so that makes it easier for everyone so you did a very good job with your reaction I appreciate it.
Thanks for allowing us to appreciate your reactions without interruptions (as so many reaction videos do, and ruin the vibe of the song). The lyrics about time going slowly is expressing his anxiety that time has changed his wife's love for him has faded, which is why the next line is "are you still mine."
You should check out the Andy Williams show where he interviewed them before Bobby sang. You'll get a kick out of it......Also, their song, You've lost that loving feeling is the most requested and played song of the 20th century. If you listen to that song, you will understand why their music was called Blue Eyed Soul, especially when they do their back and forth. You'll know what I'm talking about when you hear it. Chow
You witnessed the best song and performance of all time. Your reaction was right on target. You got class yourself just like Bobby Hatfield. I subscribed right away. Be safe and take care.
HELLO RENAE, BOBBY HATFIELDS PERFORMANCE WAS TRULY AMAZINGLY B E A U T I F U L. THIS PERFORMANCE IS WHAT WE NOW CALL "X-FACTOR PLUS" A MAN WITH A GOD GIVEN GIFT OF BEING ABLE TO SING SO WELL.
A solo voice as smooth as warm honey. Words and a tune from 1955 songwriters who should be better known than they are. A studio orchestra that could compete with any symphonic band.
@@Mac40581 Hi, Mac40581 ... ORIGINAL version of the then-untitled song (1935) was in a prison movie titled "Unchained." It served at that movie's love theme (a prisoner singing to, asking his main squeeze who he hasn't seen since he was put in jail, "has time changed your attitude toward me? Do you still want me in your life?" After 1935's movie, somebody thought the title of the tune should reflect its use -- the melody used in "Unchained" -- and labeled it, simply, "Unchained Melody."
Here is a couple other songs from The Righteous Brothers You Lost That Loving Feeling and another song is soul and inspiration and another song Rock and Roll Heaven you might want to check those songs out they are really good
BOBBY HATFIELD SUNG THIS SONG SOLO AS HE HAD THE GREATER VOCAL RANGE THAN BILL MEDLY HIS MUSICAL BROTHER. BOBBY SUNG THIS SONG SO SMOOTHLY, CALMLY, ROMANTIC WITH SOUL GRIPPING POWER AND SO BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS SIMPLY CLASSY, PURE AND CLEAN AND SO VELVETY. BOBBY RECORD VERSION OF THIS SONG WAS IN THAT FAMOUS FILM "GHOST" STARRING PATRICK SWAYZE AND DEMI MOORE. THIS SONG VERSION AND THAT FILM WERE A PERFECT MATCH I HAVE HEARD MANY VERSIONS OF THIS SONG, INCL ELVIS, DIAMOND, HUMPERDINCK AND OTHERS, BUT BOBBYS VERSION IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. HE OWNS THIS PARTICULAR SONG I LOVED YOUR REACTION RENAE WHERE YOU FELT AND WERE MOVED IN YOUR SOUL WITH THIS SONG PERFORMANCE. BY THE WAY, WHAT A GOOD LOOKING MAN - RIGHT !!! TAKE CARE RENAE FROM EMILIO IN ADELAIDE CITY IN AUSTRALIA
Thanks for the info, I learn a lot from my comments from you guys . Thanks so much for watching I appreciate you ✨❤️ This was sung beautifully, I love it ❣️🎶
Back in the day we we had many men and women performers who could sing romantic love songs and had beautiful voices and the music had melody and wonderful instrumentation and arrangements that enhanced the their voices and the entire song. Nowadays it's just a bass back beat and boring Rap and Hip Hop that all sounds the same. So sad these younger people now don't have that, but they can have the same music from the 1960's if they just search for it.
