The duo of the Righteous Brothers are made up of Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley. Only Bobby Hatfield sung Unchained Melody (which is a cover, and was sung by many other different performers before these two touched it) and Bill Medley didn't want to record his voice because he didn't think the song would be a hit. Little did he know it would become one of their greatest hits and considered the best rendition of the song ever performed. Ironically Bill Medley refusing to sing the song likely contributed to its success as it allowed Bobby Hatfield to use the full range of his voice without the need to harmonize with Bill's much deeper voice.
I was singing along to this when all of a sudden my dad burst in. I thought he was mad that I was playing my music too loud. Instead he was thrilled. This was the music of his youth, he said. We spent the afternoon mastering the harmony call back. Such an awesome bonding moment.
Funny thing, as a male from New Zealand who grew up with this music it makes me laugh, both of them are not only incredibly smooth but they make my knees go weak as well lol
I have enjoyed watching reaction videos to "Unchained Melody" as well as "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". A lot of tonsils from all of the jaws hitting the table. Girls trying to catch their breath.
I love the show. As a 70 year old baby boomer it ligjts up my heart when I see young people hear and appreciate great music. The Sixties will live on forever thanks to the music and people who are willing to experience the real thing. The young womans reaction brought me to tears.
How do you know you made a good song? When 55 years later, it reaches people on the same emotional level that it did when you released it. This is a timeless classic. It has transcended generations and is still one of the most played songs in music history. If you're looking for 2 more great songs, I would try Soul & Inspiration as well as Georgia On My Mind. Unchained Melody was an agreed deal between the two. They would get to record a solo track on their albums. Both of them wanted to sing it, and it came down to a coin toss. Love your energy. Looking forward to seeing more.
Years ago, before they were "discovered" they were booked into a black nightclub in the Watts area in Los Angeles. The owner of the club was really upset when he found out the "Righteous Brothers" were not black. They asked for the opportunity to just try us out first before saying no. When they went onstage, the crowd started booing and throwing things at them. They persisted anyway, and then the miracle happened! The crowd heard them and settled down to listen. At the end of their set, the crowd wouldn't let them leave, and wanted more! It was then that they earned the nickname "Blue-eyed Soul"
This was the "most played song on the radio in the entire 20th Century" according to BMI. It's great to see the young folks discover what I've known since I was a DJ and playing their hits in the 1960's. The Righteous Brothers were sensational, Amen!!
Hi I just wanted to say thank you for reintroducing me to music of my teens. I’m a 74 year old Scottish born Australian and when I watched your reaction to the Righteous Brothers I was delighted and remembered how great they were. I ordered a CD right away and am looking forward to rediscovering them. This was a good discovery as we have gone into a lockdown and can only leave home for essential reasons for six weeks. So thank you so much.
I'd STILL be that dude's woman for getting on his knees, even though he probably couldn't get back up without a lot of help. With a voice like that, I wouldn't care HOW old a dude was...right up there with Roy Orbison or Johny Cash.
@@davidwilliams6925 Women appreciate being wooed. They're flattered by a man making the effort, making the gesture, to show them how much they care. And a man getting down on his knees before his woman is surrendering his pride to show his devotion to her. Women rarely see or hear that anymore.
I watch every reaction to this song just to see the looks on faces when they get to the back and forth part of the song... and Bobby takes his voice to the heavens.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield make up the RightyBrothers. They each had Solo careers so don’t be confused. This song was the most played song of the 20th century. The 60’s has the real music.
You know you are old when you just assume that everyone has already heard this song. It's a joy to watch the younger generation discover all of this old music. I'd suggest watching the 'groovy' 60s live performance video of Dionne Warwick singing Walk On By.
It's HILARIOUS watching the REACTION to performances I watched and loved (and still do of course) over a half century ago!! This was a time in music that was PURE and HONEST loaded with raw TALENT and NO AUTO-TUNE.... The way TRUE music was always meant to be. Your generation is just now waking up to the REAL DEAL... Great job, and love watching ur expressions!!
All songs are spot on ! Soul , harmony , talented pure clean voices , no AUTOTUNE !! Bobby made Unchained Melody his own , still owns it today . RIP Bobby , angelic concerts now 😇🥰
Their vocal performances are so good, it's easy to overlook how good everything else is. The background singers, the percussion section is perfect, the brass section... the arrangement itself is a masterpiece. Not taking anything away from the Righteous Brothers, obviously.
Girl. your video just made my day. I'm only in my early thirties but this is the music I grew up with, from my father, and I love watching other people appreciate the magic.
They are called the Righteous Brothers. Sometimes they sing together, sometimes one or the other does a solo. Sometimes they used to flip a coin to decide which would do a solo song. They are both very talented singers and the control they have in their voices is amazing!!
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield made up the righteous brothers. They each sang a song that highlighted their voice. The blonde Bobby Hatfield passed a few years ago. Bill Medley still performs in Las Vegas! All their performances were live.
In Vegas, it is still a duo. Bobby Hatfield died in 2003 and in 2016 Bill Medley decided to find a new partner, Bucky Heard, and continue tours until today. They are still fantastic shows and I highly recommend them to anyone who likes their music. Bucky Heard couldn’t have been a better substitute for Bobby Hatfield.
I was so fortunate to see them together before Bobby died. I just wish I had the chance to see them when they were young. I was born in 1950, so I was a teenager in the sixties. They were hugely famous through the sixties.
As an old fart who grew up listening to this music, it thrills me that you younger folks are discovering the amazing talent from that era. There was no autotune back then, no electronic correction; just a rudimentary reverb at very best. The recording equipment was not nearly the quality we have now, so what you just heard was pretty much what came out of those guys' mouths. Two amazing voices and boat loads of talent! I'm so happy you were touched by this wonderful music.
@@JohannesWOW they should have left auto-tune for what it was originally designed for. finding oil tables in sea beds. the history of it goes back further than music.
@@jameschio756 Getting tired of this generic response. There are plenty of extremely talents musicians out there, they just don't fall into your lap like chart topping music does. No need to drag politics into this discussion, it isn't relevant. We live in an age where practically every genre and subgenre has talented and committed artists contributing to the lexicon of music. RateYourMusic is a great resource to find these musicians, especially with the genre charts.
@@jameschio756 I don't know. Republicans are the ones that wine about silly stuff. Or make up stuff and say the left are crying about it when they aren't.
This was recorded before a live audience. It was a one time, do or die, fly or crash. There was no do over. What you did right there before the audience lived or died right there. The same with Unchained Melody.
Loved your reaction, that's because they also do solos and it fit their voices some signs to do together some by themselves but there's is a music that stands the test of time I can see it in your eyes when you heard it you are about to cry so I know it grabs you and held you. People just don't sing like that anymore and the world is a sadder place because of it
I’m so lucky to have been young when this beautiful music used to be played...so it’s been a real joy to watch your reaction and emotions as you heard it for the first time....we older people smile when we see how much equipment modern singers seem to have to use to get a record out these days...when watching them then..,they sang live, no miming just sang from the heart. Makes me wonder just how many modern songs will still be played in fifty years time? Really glad you took a step into the past, and discovered some true blue heart music, which is so rare these days. Bless you...keep listening to Golden Oldies...you will find real jewels 💎! 🙋♀️😘👏🏻👏🏻🥰💐☕️☕️💐💕
I remember my Mom playing Righteous brother's music everyday. I fell in love with this amazing duo as well !! Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley had it all. 💙💛💙💛💙💛
I love seeing people get turned on to new songs! The Righteous Brothers are soooo talented. This is one of those timeless, classic songs that will be listened to by many different generations✨. Loving it❤️
I never assume the race of a singer because I always felt talent does not have a color. So I’m always neutral even when I learn an artist true ethnicity.
I think Bill Medley, the deep baritone one, was heavily influenced by the the great black singers of the 50’s. Bobby Hatfield might say the same thing, but his voice range seemed to make him more of a standalone artist, but he also harmonized so greatly with Medley. Can’t believe that Bill is still performing and recording, albeit without Bobby who died back around 2003. I have been a big fan since 1965 when I was only in 7th grade.
@Bryan Wiley: We knew they were White. I remember watching them on television. My parents were big fans and had their records. You know, the 45 and 33 rpm records.
You know I’ve watched a few reaction vids and when they sing “ I’ll get down on my knees “ I see what it does to women . I’ll defiantly take that to heart and use it . Look out wimmins !
I am an old man and remember these songs the first time around. I believe their style of music was termed' Blue Eyed Soul'. Black people rather like them and some called out: 'you're righteous brothers'. Thus as the legend goes, that is how they got their name by black members of their audience. The reason why only one sung Unchained Melody was that they flipped a coin to decide who was going to sing it solo. Thank you so much for your reaction which I enjoyed. Bless x
I was 11 when these guys first hit the charts in 1964 with their Blue-Eyed Soul. They originally had a different name until they did a gig for a bunch of soldiers. When they finished, as the story goes, a couple of black soldiers yelled at the stage over the applause "Man you brothers are Righteous!!! ". The name stuck. They were consummate performers and despite their distinctly divergent vocal ranges produced some of the best harmonies I've ever heard. As someone else pointed out this was back in the day of no digital effects...no autotune. These guys simply had talent on loan from God. Poor Bobby Hatfield (the blonde) also had really severe stage fright..prior to every performance he'd throw up, compose himself and get out to the audience and along with Bill, proceed to effortlessly deliver greatness There's other great songs to react to.. Soul and Inspiration, Ebb Tide, and one real bluesy rocker that gets overlooked on reactions: videos: I Just Want To Make Love To You.
The world will never see anything like the combination of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield again. We were truly blessed to have been a part of beautiful music history that is/was the Righteous Brothers.
This is the type of song that makes us forget about all the troubles of the world. And for a brief moment, people of all walks of life can come together and put aside the hate that is so unnecessary. Props to THE JAYY SHOW for letting us into your world and showing us your reaction to this most perfect song.
“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duet Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 88 key piano. No other male singers can do that. Legendary. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin” was the most played song on radio in the 20th Century. "Unchained Melody" - Bobby Hatfield Live 1965. Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby's use of "Runs" is brilliant. He is the master of the technique and started the trend. 7 notes just to say the word "I".... Their name came when they did a show in a smaller venue and a black man told them…. You two Brothers are Righteous. They created the sound and set the table that all Soul Music fed from for decades to come. In 1983, in Newport Beach O.C. Calif. Bill and Bobby at the Jolly Roger Restaurant . I was 13 feet away for... "Unchained Melody"- "You've Lost That Lovin’ Feelin‘" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......
"Oh, that started right away." Yes! We are immediately into the vocals, in fact, before the very first instrument. Another reviewer nailed it when he called this song "relentless" - instead of repeating the first verse, as we'd expect, it goes into a new tune and new lyrics. Then they add on the harmony... and keep driving forward. I really enjoyed watching your reaction, Jayy. You helped make this song fresh and new again.
Now those are what concerts are really about. No theatrics, no over the top routines, just an artist coming and straight bringin it! Letting their talent be all the entertainment needed.
Them doing Soul and Inspiration is even better, songs like this just aren’t made anymore. In groups back in the day it was common for someone to step up for a solo as was done for Unchained.
I was born in the 80’s but always loved the righteous brothers thanks to my mom playing their cassette tape in her van growing up. I’ve been enjoying your videos so much these last few days. You’re amazing so I subbed 🙌
Bobby Hatfield is the one you heard singing Unchained Melody by himself. He is the tenor. He passed away in 2003. Unchained Melody is in Ghost. Bill Medley is the taller baritone. You've Lost That Loving Feeling is in Top Gun and their song The Time Of My Life is in Dirty Dancing. Two amazing voices, who were influenced by Motown.
The Dynamic Duo never disappoints! This was the #1 song requested to radio stations in the 20th century. What even enhanced the great sound more was legendary record producer Phil Spectors "wall of sound".
Uh-huh, yeah girl, that's it, this is who we lost our hearts to sooo many years ago, and now you hear what we did. Their voices are in a whole other realm. So beautiful. So romantic. To this day their voices make me want to cry. Thank you. I am subscribing, and I am recommending your channel. I like the way you do things. You are real.
That was in 1965, aside from some problems we had back then my generation produced the best music, clothes, cars and yes the girls were uh well they were woman.
The DYNAMIC DUO doesn't disappoint! Hard to believe Bill Medley is 81 still performing now with Bobby Heard. Bill had a solo hit Brown Eyed Woman in 68 with Blossoms with Darlene Love, incredible! She's a great singer also.
This is the music we loved and listened to in the 1960's. We had so many great singers in that era and so many dances in High School. It was a wonderful time to be a teenager.
Jayy....you cracked me up when you said, "I do, I do!" lol Thanks for your reaction. Even though I have listened to this song hundreds of times, I always enjoy watching a reaction to it. Take care and be well.... Peace.
Never ever, ever....... will there be 2 guys that can sing & harmonize like The Righteous Brothers........no tricks, just God given talent! Just beautiful!!
This was one of my favorite songs as a kid....That and anything sang by Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Petula Clark.....sigh. What a time that was. AND it is sad when it ends so you play it over and over and over....wanting to get that loving feeling.
My love - you just heard greatness. So happy you enjoyed it. These 2 blue eyed soul brothers were as popular as the Temptations and almost Elvis( but not quite).😀I dated to these songs on the radio then. So romantic if the DJ played this song after you saw a movie together - while on your way to the beach for a nighttime walk on the waters edge. Hmmm. I can see the moonlight on the water now as my heart raced as we stepped up into an empty lifeguard stand.Those were the days.😀👍❤️
Your response is exciting to watch like a child opening something you wrapped that you know that they will love. Unchained Melody was a solo but they usually sang together with Bobby Hatfield doing the high notes and Bill Medley the deep ones.
Bill is 6’8-9” and Bobby was 6’4-5. My ex met Bill in Vegas in the late 60s. He stood to shake her hand and she swore she was looking at his belt buckle. She was 5’. I met him in Vegas in the late 90s and told him the story. He got a good laugh at it. A real nice guy and great voice.
Darlin remember this was 1964. Live. I remember watching this on live TV back then. After all these years I still enjoy listening to them. For eleven and a half years until my late wife passed away I sang there songs every day.
