Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Loving Feeling Righteous (REACTION) 

They got their name "The Righteous Brothers" from black Marines from the El Toro Marine base who used to visit the local Los Angeles night clubs. When they saw the RB perform, they loved their sound so much they started calling them righteous brothers. At the end of one performance a black Marine stood up and shouted, "that was righteous, brothers". And the name stuck.

Old white guy here... I love watching you young men "discovering" the music I grew up with.

I love that this reaction is exactly how the Righteous Brothers got their name. 60 years later, and they still have the same effect on people.

I love the fact that you guys pointed out that all these singers were not singing with the assistance of AUTO-TUNE THANK YOU TRUE RAW AND PERFECT SINGING CAPABILITY!

As you said. No autotune, no shouting, no cursing, no showing off, no hogging the limelight, pure class.

I’m a 70 year old white man and it brings me great joy to see a group of young African-American men have the same emotion and amazement that I did when I first heard this song back in 19 65❤

Thank you to all the young people digging these old songs, it makes them sound new again and we all feel younger all of a sudden. ❤

I'm a 75 year old woman. I loved them then, and I still love them now. I think I'll put on my 45 record I've had since I was a teenager and enjoy them again.

Close your eyes listen this is soul music, doesn’t matter what skin color pure gold

Guys I promise you women still get the chills when they hear these guys sing this song …AND Unchained Melody is the absolutely most beautiful love song ever recorded…Ever!!!

Not only was there no auto-tune, but many of these performances were done LIVE back then. You could not screw up, period.

I'm a 63 d year old woman. Love these songs. Don't matter what color we are. We still can enjoy some good music. Stay safe in this world young men. God bless.

“The Righteous Brothers” are considered by most to be the Greatest Male Vocal Duo Of All Time. I agree. Between Bill Medley’s Lows and Bobby Hatfield’s Highs they can hit every note on an 73 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 Andy Williams Show (with his mother sitting right behind him) Considered by most as The Greatest Live Male Vocal Performance In History... I agree. Bobby’s use of “Runs” is masterful. He created the style and set the table that all others have fed off of for decades. 7 notes just to say the word “I” is melodic brilliance. Their name came from doing a show near a marine base in So Calif and a black marine said to them…. You two guys are Righteous Brothers. Often referred to as "Blue Eyed Soul' 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 Feeling" - "Soul And Inspiration".... They were perfect, awesome, amazing, incredible......

The Righteous Brothers appealed to YOUNG people when they performed. The reason we OLD people love them so much is because we fell in love with them when we were young.

The most played song in the twentieth century!

70 yrs old - old lady! Thanks for reminding me that I grew up with the BEST MUSIC THERE EVER WAS!!!!

I'm 72 grew up in the 60's to this music and still love it above all else. Check out Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" if you haven't heard it.

Fun fact: the producer for this song was Phil Spector, famous for his "wall of sound". His assistant was "Sonny" Bono who included his girlfriend at the time in the backing choir. Her name, Cherilyn Sarcassian, later known only as Cher

No gimmicks, no gadgets, no sound box, just pure talent.

Remember that this song was produced by the late Phil Spector who was famous for that wall of sound. Bill and Bobby nailed this performance.

Every woman wants to be loved like the way they sing...sigh. Not just a quick tumble in the sheets, but a love that connects 2 people for decades and decades. Have always loved this song. Glad to see young men hearing it and appreciating the huge talent of the RB!😊💖

We baby boomers were so blessed to grow up in the 1960’s and hear the best music EVER!!! Priceless, matchless, ageless. ❤

I really think that any woman in the world who had this song sung to her personally, would bring back the loving feeling before the song even ended....thank you for reacting to this. It's a beautiful song, so romantic. Their voices are phenomenal. I enjoy you all so very much

Bill Medly ( the guy on the right)also sang the lead song from Dirty Dancing. I’ve had the time of my life with Jennifer Warne. You had to really be good back in the day. I happy to have grown up with the music. Real voices real bands. Glad you guys liked it!

No auto tune, just pure talent.

I just love it when the young people hear the music of my generation and appreciate it. ❤

I'm in my seventies now, and I still can sing that song word for word. I adored the Righteous Brothers! Love this kind of honest talent. No auto-tune, no computerized fixing...they were just plain talented! WOW!

Great music is great music. Doesn't matter how old. This is the most played song in radio history.

Now you young men understand why we older people love this kind of music! Thank you for venturing into the music we grew up with

One of the best songs ever made - their harmonies were insane!

You know it’s good when the guy in green starts to react

You young men are adorable. This music was from my time. I'm old but still enjoy all music.

*Hey hey!!* Vietnam veteran here (female too!) we had the BEST music 60's and 70s brings back memories hard to think that was over 50 years ago! Enjoy your youth!

All these years later and its still one of the greatest vocal performances of all time.

The year was 1974. My wife told me she no longer loved me and wanted a divorce as she had met the man of her dreams and it wasn't me. She filed for a divorce and I moved out of our home and into a little efficiency apartment. Several weeks later I discovered two things. One, I loved her more than I thought possible, and two I discovered the power of words in a song. You've Lost That Lovin Feeling was being played on the radio and I had never really listened to the words before, but I did that evening. I cried myself to sleep that night and many many more nights. That was 50 years ago and this song still brings tears to my eyes. If only she would have known how much I loved her,.........

My mother was born in 1954 she’s 71 today and I’m 33. I grew up with all of this. The greatest memories when she’d blast these oldies. Gives me chills watching others hear this for the first time.

no digital mastering, no auto-tune, and in one take - live.

This music is called “blue-eyed soul”, glad you enjoyed it! ❤

I'm an 80 y/o white male. I grew up in Anaheim, California. Hatfield attended Anaheim High School, where he was student body president. My sister-in-law and brother were fellow students of Hatfield. They say he was smart, friendly and popular. He was also a little clowish and prone to breaking into song, high-pitched, loud and not always at appropriate times. When the Righteous Brothers duo came to be and started showing up on the charts in the early/mid 60's, I had all the pre-sets on my little 6 transistor radio set to the 4 AM radio stations most likely to play the Brother's current hits. These guys were the only white artists I liked at the time. No 'Rock Around The Clock' for me. At age 10 (yeah, really) I became and still are, an incurable black 'R and B' fan. When Medley formed his new duo, after Bobby's passing I tried to like them, but.... However, when Chris Stapleton hit the music scene, he and the Righteous Brothers, along with many black R and B artists and traditional black regae dominated my Spotify faves. Blue-eyed soul works for me. Thank the heavens for modern electronic technology that allows us to enjoy all the fantastict music regardless of which side of the dirt the artist is on.

Dayum...."old as hell" Yep! I was born in 1964. There were no autotune, no NOTHING... Amazing, right?

No gimmicks,no makeup,no naked girls, no fireworks or light shows. Nothing to distract a person and mask mediocrity like today's music. All you have is a duet of singers and a band. They're selling you ONLY on the most important elements of performing..... THE VOCALS AND THE. MUSIC! These guys are the real deal and free of any studio tricks, electronic gadgets or any of that other b******* that they pass off as music today!! The Righteous Brothers and they are indeed RIGHTEOUS!!!

This was the most played song of the 20th century. They called it blue eyed soul.

The original "Blue Eyed Soul". Never to be equaled again.

Two of the finest male voices to ever grace modern music. Thanks for your reaction.

Hearing Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield for the first time is like seeing the ocean in person for the first time. Nothing will ever replace it. Great reaction fellas. I saw it moving through you.

I still get chills hearing this song. They were amazing. You'd be surprised how many white men had such soulful voices back then. I'm 64.5 and grew up on all of this. Motown blew it all out of the water. I miss those days for sure. Music definitely brought us together.

No auto tune no computer manipulation just straight up singin.

I was 16 when this song came out & I am 75 now, glad to see you guys loving this duo & their singing abilities. No special effects just pure clean voices. You made my day, thanks guys.

This my friends is what you call "Blue Eyed Soul"... No autotune. Just pure, authentic talent.

They had a reputation for spending thousands of hours practicing their voices and melodies. It's not "just" talent, it's talent and grit.

Luv watching the younger people see our music for the 1st time. And keeping it going.

Hey Guys! you mention the Ruffins, I knew Jimmy and David Ruffin. I have met and jammed with Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield. I was born and raised in Detroit. I was always a really good drummer and percussionist. I have jammed and worked with hall of famers. The Righteous Bros have that MOTOWN sound for sure. I was born in 1950 guys. I feel 30 in my mind but somebody went and put mirrors in my house so I scare myself back to reality. We listened to AM Radio, no calculators, no color television, no internet. We played music and were awesome musicians honing our craft. I had a '63 split window corvette, a good job, and owned 2 homes by the time I was 28. $$ went farther. There are thousands of great musicians you never heard of that are 10x better than most today. No auto tunes, no lighting or special effects to be proud of BUT WE had great fun. Riding bikes in our pre teen years, no gangs or fear of violence. I saved my money from working at the corner store. This was before the fast food craze. You could send your kid to the store with a couple dollars and not worry about them. It was simpler, sweeter, and a more wonderful time that I wish we could get back in the USA today and for our children.

100 years from now this song will still be a banger or whatever they call it at that time

Proper singers don't need auto tune, anyone can sing with it. Talent doesn't need it

When the Living God of all Creation handed out soul he didn’t just bless black people, he blessed white folks, brown folks, Asians, Pacific Islanders, etc!! Soul is something that comes from the heart!!

66 here. So cool that the brothers approve 65 years later gives me goosebumps.

Breaking hearts for damn near 60 years. That, neighbors, is greatness.

Wow!!! This song has endured for generations; never gets old. Love this❤️

The backup singers included a young Cher and Darlene Love. They were with a group called the Blossoms.

I’m an old white guy. Grew up with the Righteous Brothers and so many other soulful talents. Great times back then. Love your videos guys, keep exploring

Hey. Ol’ white lady here. I don’t remember the first time I heard this. But, I can feel it again watching you guys hear it for the first time. My heart is just bursting right now.❤

The good old days when people sing with pure talent and others clap. Nowadays people can't sing without Autotune and we call it God Given Talent...

Yup, no auto tune. We had great music. My husband and I were at a Captain Morgan party as I was walking to the bar he got down on his knee and sang this to me, the whole party stopped 😳

As a child in the 60's my mother would say don't dare touch that Radio. She loves the Righteous Brothers. She also loved Unchained Melody.

I’m not sure which I enjoyed more, the song or watching you guys bobbing your heads to this classic song! Thanks for pure joy, boys!

Music brings generations together; thanks for doing this. Making 60 year olds smile 😊

Righteous Brothers are a dying breed of musicians. Harmony & range like no other.

This is *the* most requested song on the radio for the past 30 years! BIll Medley sings baritone and Bobby Hatfield sings tenor and counter-tenor (not falsetto!) Their harmony is perfect! Check out Soul and Inspiration next. I know you listened to Bobby's solo of Unchained Melody already. Bill sang Time of My Life in the movie Dirty Dancing (1987, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey). You guys would love that movie if you haven't seen it.

I was 13 when this hit the radio airwaves in ‘64. The Righteous Brothers were HUGE!…and we absolutely screamed when their 45 played at the sock-hops. They were most definitely swoon worthy.

It goes to show you, good music transcends generations

Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were two outstanding singers and musicians. This song was one of two top ten hits they recorded.

It's nice to see a bunch of young men go back in time and appreciative good music.

Love seeing young brothers appreciating real music...NO AUTOTUNE ❤

G'day boys I am Pete from Australia, I am a child of the 70's, back in our day there was no, oh they are pink, purple or what ever, it was just grove to music, cause there was so much fantastic music to enjoy, there was even a young Japanise bloke name of Kyu Sakamoto singing a song called Sukiyaki, sounds good, I reckon you blokes might like it, well guys take care, all the best Pete

Older people love these songs because we can understand the words! 😂😂

You guy's have no idea what you missed! The 60's through 80's , even the 90's was incredible. Always rockin ! We had awesome tunes to rock to. I'm 67 and still rockin! Righteous Brothers, Chubby Checkers, Aretha Franklin, Aerosmith, Journey, Pink Floyd, just to name a few. You guy's seem to like music and I feel bad that you actually missed those years!!! Rock on forever!

I love seeing younger people rediscovering older music. The Righteous Brothers were such an amazing duo. Bill Medley (the bass) is still alive and will be on tour this winter!

They call this Blue Eyed Soul, but White people have green & brown eyes too, so I just like to say, a soul, has never had a color, & The Righteous Brother's were a once in a lifetime treasure, for our ears & our souls.....loved your reactions, and so glad to you are enjoying your musical journey 😊

Fire and Ice!!! PERFECT description. I’m old enough to be your grandma and never heard it better. You young men are truly awesome and give us old ones hope for this world and life! I love that you listen to all music. ❤

Blue eyed soul

These guys enjoyed Unchained Melody so much it caused them to check out more Righteous Brothers. Totally cool.

No more music like that anymore. Definitely gives me way more appreciation of my grandparents era. That music is amazing.

One of the best groups ever! I’m 78 and loved all of the music in 60s and 70s. THAT was real music. ❤️

A truly beautiful song in every aspect. To only think that their voices sounded so mature at 24 years old each in the video was astounding.

No electronic enhancements, no auto-tune, just pure, great voices.

No one can sing this like the Righteous Brothers. I would like to here these young men sing it.

In 1965 my high school sweetheart & love of my life, Sharon, and I, saw them at the Community Concourse in San Diego. The place was packed. Black & White folks were there. They came out in tuxedos & had an orchestra. WOW. After the first song the whole crowd was looking at each other like they couldn't believe just how good they sounded. When they sang Little Latin Lupe Lou, people were standing and dancing in place. Everyone was smiling & singing along. It was a night i will NEVER FORGET. After the concert Sharon and I went to our favorite parking spot. Back then everyone had a favorite place to oo and. hmmmm. .MAKE OUT.😁 That was the icing on the cake. I went into the USAF. & off to Vietnam. She got married & I got married but we ALWAYS kept in touch..We had that special FIRST LOVE you never forget. Her husband recently died & I am divorced. We are in different states but when talking on the phone, it's still there. God maybe has a plan for us to be together after all these years. She still is so beautiful to me. I am still in great shape after being an athlete & gym rat my entire life...& don't need viagra either. Our plans aren't always God's plans. Aee shall see soon when we meet face to face again. Here recent photo is awesome. If you pray, pray for us. God may give us some years together

70 years old here, takes me back and it’s so cool to see you younger guys enjoying what I grew up with. 👍

I love your reactions. It's a nice break from the craziness going on in the world. Keep it up.

The emotion they put into it. That soul hits you hard in a good way.

Phenomenal performance! Wish we had talent like this today 😢. Legendary duo.

Soul with a Capital "S:" Produced by Phil Spector and his wall of sound. This is why they are ALL in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, ( Bill, Bobby & Phil)

Love it when people of all ages, backgrounds, colors, can come together over something great.

They were both in their early 20s in this video. Bill Medley was 23 and still kicking today at 81 years old. Unfortunately we lost Bobby Hatfield years ago!

Welcome to the Golden age of music: '60s rock, melody, and Motown. Got me thru high school.

I am 79 years old and I love your reaction to the great music we used to listen too.

The MOST played record of that year by a country mile, they compliment each other so beautifully. Love that blue eyed soul. Righteous indeed

When you have the most requested and the most played song on the radio of the twentieth century, performed by the greatest male duo of all time, THAT'S A BANGER!!!

47 Mexican American from So Cal. This song came out when my parents were in grade school In Santa Ana. I was exposed to this song from Top Gun. That’s when I learned they’re from Santa and Anaheim. This song is great. I’ll crank this shit to this day. IDGAF. Bill Medley went to the same school a few of my family members went to. So many more great artists out there. Keep looking things up. Expand your mind. I was born in the late 70’s and my music taste goes all the way back to Cab Calloway in the 1930’s.

This is the most requested song on radio & TV for the entire 20th Century. More than 8 M requests according to BMI.
