Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody (subtitle in english/subtitulado español) (Live 1965) 

A man with a microphone on an empty stage, no dancers, no backing band, no explosions or other "effects", just this man and his mesmerizing voice! Artists of today: Watch this and maybe you learn a thing or two...

I am 81 and have heard several artist before Bobby’s version and several after. No one comes close to this, Bobby owns it. This version came out as I was headed for Viet Nam. You can feel the loneliness in the words and the way we felt as we were away from our families for one long year. Bill and Bobby always did one solo on each of their albums and while on tour. They both wanted to do “Unchained”, so they flipped a coin. The music was written as the theme for the little-known prison film “Unchained” (January 1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers. The movie “Unchained” is about a man in prison and longing for his wife and children. Hoping his wife will still be there when he gets out. So you can now understand the meaning of the song. The movie was not very good, or so my friends told me. But we were all teenagers so what did we know. Several artists sang it and it made the billboard top 100. But no one can come close to Bobby Hatfield’s version. Bobby’s version hit the top ten chart. And did it again when it was used in the movie “Ghost” It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by Bobby. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of "Unchained Melody" have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.

This is one of the most romantic songs ever written. It's beautifully sung too. How could 4100 people not like it?

truly one of the greatest singers No Auto tune No Special effects Just Pure Talent

Man, I forgot how inimitably grand this singer was. Indisputably one of the greatest voices in music in the last several decades. High praises.

This guy sings so effortless that makes you think that this song is easy to sing......

50 years on and nearly 40 million views goes to show there's still an audience for great singers singing great songs.

They could put this song on the charts every 20 years and it would still be number ONE.. Absolute perfection !

I'm a teenager but when I hear this song, I feel incredibly nostalgic. It always touches me to the core, just everything about it. What a great song!

It is amazing that singers back in the day sounded just as good live as they did on the record. That is real talent, no auto tune needed.

That was the first song my Husband played for me on our first date I fell in love with it then and it is one of my most special songs I play it almost every evening and it still gives me butterfly's my tummy XXX

What a gift this man had. Such beauty

This has to be one of the most difficult songs to sing. From the bridge just over half way through to the last six or seven seconds it's enough to shred anyone's vocal chords. Above and beyond that the lyrics are just simply beautiful.

50 years later when he hits that 'I need your love'.. I still get a chill.. What is the psychology of that? The octave interval is something primal I guess.. It's effective in 'Over the Rainbow' but more dramatic here.. Thank you Rightous Brothers and Phil Spector..

this song is immortal 2000 years from now when humans branch out to the stars they will play this song

This must be what angels sound like

I was born in 1950 and when I heard this story in song I knew it was going to be around for a long time. To be listening to it today seems like a dream, he's a great vocalist and I've never heard a better cover than his version. When I was in primary school I could hit high notes, he's in his late twenties and he has been able to sing this song, with what seems to be, effortlessly. I don't care if it was on the UK charts for how long, it's one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. He just makes it so much more, it was originally from a film about a prison. You can see where the song is trying to take you, just brilliant.

I'm back again to hear this beautiful song...still here in 2020.

When music was good ❤️ Absolutely beautiful

Nobody ever sang this song better. One of the best feeds of art in human history. I feel bad for those born deaf, to never get to experience this.

this still gives me chills every time I hear it.

He makes it look so easy.

I lost my grandfather last year this time and I’ve been staying with my grandmother to help her get through her grief. She’s played this song every single day since he’s passed. I’m listening to her playing it right now in the other room. I can only pray that I find a love like that.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

He owns this song. Absolutely an incredible performance that will never be equaled.

Genre: Blue-eyed soul....this was LIVE....if you can't feel this song....you are not human....chills...his voice is amazing!

This is so amazing wow. I can feel this song all through my heart and soul..

“You take care of those flowers wrong number”

I cry everytime i listen to this remember coming downstairs while my mum and dad were watching ghost, unfortunately my mum passed away aged 35 in 1994 from breast cancer and this was played at the funeral, years later after my dad brought 4 of us up my dad took his own life in 2007 to be back with her this was played at the funeral as me and my 2 brothers carried his coffin. miss them forever rip xxxxxxx

2021 and till forever. His voice is just perfect. What a talented singer. Gonna show this to my future kids and tell them this is how artist used to be, perfect!

One of the greatest performances in music history!!

Flowers from 1970... 😔😭😭

This song is so difficult to sing. As a singer your voice has to be perfection. To date I have listened to many artist do this song. Absolutely none came close to this

Wow, my Generation needs to step it up Live. What an INCREDIBLE performance. Just to confirm...this IS live, right?

A band, a man, and the voice of an angel, rest in peace Bobby

One of the most beautiful voices of all time.

My god he could sing

when I was a little girl, I was told my Daddy wouldn't be coming back home to me from Vietnam like he had promised he would the last time I saw him. I know for a very long time I would sit in my rocking chair in front of the stereo and listen to this song over and over again, wanting my Daddy to come home and love me.

Quem não arrepiar com essa música tão linda, não é gente!❤❤❤

No autotune needed, just pure talent and a great voice

Let's take a minute to appreciate the fact that this is a live recording with zero edits or auto tuning. CRAZY!!!

reminds me of my mom!! she passed away 17 yrs ago!! she love hearing this song!! 😞 May she rest in peace!! R. I. P MOM

I love this melody, even after 57 years it is this melody that still touches the heart.

Man this song gives me chills. I love it❤️

My husband and I born in 1940, growing up, hearing the best love songs, as well as the best movies. Was really the good time. This song touches our heart, even after more than haft a century, it's still very popular. You sing it very well too! Thank you!

My husband wooed me with this song in 2007, he gave me a CD and said "Listen to number 13", I fell in love with him and this became our song, so many great memories, we've been happily married for 7 years now 💕

We played this at our wedding.then six weeks later I had it played at her funeral. God bless darling love you and miss you always love you and miss you.

This song is just beautiful

Absolutely beautiful. RIP Bobby. No one will ever sing this the way you did

still one of the best songs ever made

To stand up and deliver a pitch perfect vocal with no "voice enhancers" etc as you get nowadays. Pure and simple genius.

The best version of this song ever recorded!

I am on my grandads account he died five years ago and I saw he was subbed and saw this video I feel so sad and happy knowing that he made this account in 2013 before he died this account is so special to me

An immortal wonderful song and voice! It's very emotional and romantic!

Essa música é linda demais.. e a voz dele é incrível!!

*who's still touched by this, and crying* me❤️

my grandfather died in 1967......I can still hear my grandmother crying......I was in the back yard....too young to understand the hurt......I just needed to tell someone

i am searching for and listening to all my mum's favourite songs online. I am crying as I listen to each of them. Mum RIP, I love and miss you so much

I swear I can feel the chills going up and down my back when he hits those high notes. I feel like crying knowing that this amazing man is gone.

One of the best 'slow dances' in the 60's!! Remember it and her, so well...

one of my all time fav's well before that iconic scene in ghost - and i still play it today !

No one can even come close to bobby Hatfield singing Unchained Melody! He owns it...one of the greatest vocal performances ever recorded!

Someone can sing higher someone can sing longer and sustain the notes. But Mr bobby Hatfield sang this perfectly.. no one today can sing it as perfect as him. I'm a Mariah Carey fan and I've always wish she could have covered it as a tribute... Thank you Mr hatfield for your voice and passion.

Still one of my favorites..

One of the best love songs ever 2020 listening

Bobby in his pink suit will forever hold this song immortal...

this is a classic that should never never be lost

Que voz, que música linda!

This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard.

Holy shit. This is music.

I am 47 and this still my all time favorites. This song touch your soul.

This song is fantastic and timeless. And the performer has a fantastic voice, it’s a transitional period and this song has characteristic of both the fifties and sixties.

Yeah, no special effects .He is the special effect 🌻

WHAT AN AWESOME VOICE. LOVE IT. YOU. JUST DON'T HEAR MEN HIT NOTES LIKE THIS. BOBBY HATFIELD NAILED IT.

This live version at the time is unbelievably brilliant, so emotional, not for the faint hearted if you're going through a bad time though. 👏👏👍👍

insane! who can compare?? nobody !

If you placed thumbs down. You don't know music.. Just a great singer and microphone.. No autotune. Like today's music...

Now you know that once upon a time, in the same room, of the same house, fifity years apart, Clay and George loved each other

Beautiful song, beautiful words, love it.

This is the very best version of "Unchained Melody" I have ever heard. What a wonderful tenor he was! RIP my beautiful Bobbyxx

How lovely for us oldies to have You Tube to listen to these songs of our youth. Thank you x

In the Era full of new songs I still listining this masterpiece.. (Tears in my eyes)

Pasaran los años por décadas por milenios pero está magnífica canción se mantendrá en el top ten de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos a nivel mundial

Another timeless immortal classic. Gee, I wonder how many rap songs will be remembered 55 years from now. Would any songs from today's recording artists be remembered 55 years from now?

This song was released in 1965, I was 11 years old and falling in love with the girl next door in Little Italy, NYC. Here I am 52 years later, and this song still makes my hear tremble.

One of the most beautiful songs ever sung!
