This "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by the Righteous Brothers is the most played song on radio in the 20th Century by the Guinness Books of World Records. What more is there to say. Priceless!
You identified one element of the Righteous Brothers, and other singers from this era, that is almost lacking in popular music today -- class. Almost no one nowadays makes the effort to display such elegance and refinement.
An oldie but an absolute beauty. I'm actually surprised you went that far back. All music is generational so any music lover can go back far and find absolutely amazing music. Thank you for sharing this ❤🇨🇦💯
Nice reaction, nice you enjoyed. They aren't brothers. Bobby Hatfield hits the high notes. Bill Medley has the deep voice. A contemporary of theirs is Tom Jones. He had many hits in the 1960's. Have a good weekend!🎉❤
Enjoy! THIS song is a classic!!! These men were darn GOOD!! The contrast in their vocal ranges just makes it better!!!! Such a contrast. Check out Bobbie 's high notes!!! I am old enough that I remember when they were active.. They were wonderful.. YES, classy........
The Righteous Brothers, Bobby Hatfield the guy you already reacted to and Bill Medley the one with the deep voice, had a string of hits back in the sixties. Their style was considered "blue eyed soul".
They started in a group of five or six singers, one by one members left and these two, miracle of miracles, were left and formed a duo...in Southern California they were performing in a club near a Marine Base, I think in San Diego CA. Some African American Marines were in the audience. One shouted out after a song they did "Hey that's righteous brother!" and later they realized when they had a recording contract and a single done they needed a better name and remembered that guy's comment! So they are not really brothers, that's their stage act name. Bill is still alive, Bobby passed away in 2003 [age 63] in his hotel room on tour with Bill, in Kalamazoo MI, just 50 minutes from my house! i cried when Ii heard the news in the car on the way to work...I was a music teacher who grew up with this music.
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)
One of these timeless songs you can still play today 58yrs after release!! and enjoy, guess that makes it kind of a classic masterpiece.. not many song can stand the test of times like this.
A great reaction, and you didn't constantly pause to talk. You clapped too, this performance deserves it. Did you try the video " Soul & Inspiration ? It's as good as this .
They were both top tier singers, the greatest Duo ever in my opinion. There's more very good, great songs. For just once in my Life, Soul and Inspiration Ebb Tide. They were on 🔥🔥 FIRE doing Little Latin Lupe Lu and The Nightime is the Right Time Best of success on yr channel
Yes, they had style and they learned it from the best! Before they were famous they worked the 2AM shows in Vegas to earn money. Frank Sinatra caught their act and really liked their talent. He took them under his wing. He referred to them as "the kids". The Righteous Brothers credit Sinatra for showing them how to be true entertainers, not simply singers.💕 Here is a link to their performance on The Ed Sullivan Show singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xBTeyKtfrXw.html
I found this moments after I finished watching your review of Unchained Melody. I am sorry, I did not mean to come across as bossy. I am just much older than you. This music was mainstream back in the day!!! Their music was on the radio, the TV, and most everywhere! Was this special or what??? These men were great!!!! You never stopped smiling!!! And your eyes were shining!!!! I am going to search for more of your work. Thanks girl.................
I honestly love this song. Growing up my mom would always have an oldies radio station playing when she was doing things around the house and it's because of that, that I got into this music, 60s 70s etc, I love it lol
It is amazing to me that their harmonies are so good. Usually for a duo there would be more overlap in their voices, but Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield have such starkly different ranges that it is rare to find such harmony. If you liked this song, please react to Soul and Inspiration next. It was written as a follow-up to the success of this song by the same writers and features those beautiful harmonies of both "brothers", peaking at #1 for three straight weeks in 1966. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cwTdRpYTS4c.html And they aren't actually related. They got their name playing at a military base and some African-American marines shouted out "man, you sound righteous, brother!" They liked that so the name stuck!
There next song should be "Little Latin Lupe Lou" she was a girl Bill Medley liked in school. It is a faster song and I loved dancing to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great choice! Here is the link to them singing it on Shindig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ldVFC0tPBqw.html I love their performances on Shindig. Less polished, with the screaming girls, and the Shindig dancers! Here is another link for Bring It On Home from Shindig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mZVToeLPges.html
Hi dear Inna - the singer with the bass voice is Bill Medley - he might sound a bit familiar to you, because he sings the very famous song "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" together with Jennifer Warnes, it's a song from the soundtrack to the movie Dirty Dancing. In the interpretation by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, the song became a worldwide hit.
The blue eyed soulful duo and heartthrobs of teens in the sixties. What a time to be a teen from Ray Charles to the Beatles and the cream of the crop in the middle like the Righteous Brothers. Check out thier 'Youll Never Walk Alone' which highlights thier individual talents even better. RIP Bobby Lee Hatfield you are missed. 1940-2003
They are not brothers. They are just two people that got together to perform. Sometimes they sing together. But each of them do solo's from time to time. The shorter guy is Bobby Hatfield, and the deep voice is Bill Medley. I think I got his last name correct. Bobby Hatfield is died in his 60's.
Don't know who said they were brothers but they are not on of them is named Bobby Hatfield ,and the other one is named Bill Melody their name came from someone that heard them sing and said that is righteous brother
Bill Medley (the baritone) sang the theme song for the movie, "Dirty Dancing". He sang it as a duet with Jenifer Warnes. It is called "The Time Of My Life".
They both played piano but not in their performances. For the studio version of 'unchained melody' Bill was playing piano ... and also singing backup. Other songs to listen to... 'Little Latin Lupe Lu' was their first hit (written by Bill) and 'My Babe' their second hit (written by both of them) . Their bigger hits would be 'Soul and Inspiration'. 'Just once in my Life' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone'
If you like the Righteous Brothers, please do yourself a favor and listen to them singing "I Just Wanna Make Love To You." You will not be disappointed.
I've never seen anything on Bobby playing an instrument. Bill plays piano and did a lot of the arranging/orchestration on many of their songs. I bet Bobby could at least get by on some instrument. probably piano for learning melodies.
Bobby did play piano. He also played trumpet. They both sang in church choir at some point. In high school, Bobby was in choir (glee club). He was in a choir within the choir that was dubbed Mozart choir. Don't know about choir in lower grades. (To be picky, Bill produced records. He wasn't an music arranger. Others did that.)
Two things that come to mind that you don't try and copy and that's The Righteous Brothers and Peter Sellers doing the Pink Panther character. Those who have tried fail miserably, like the actors that tried to take on the Pink Panther character after Peter Sellers died. Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers made Unchained Melody, his, it's foolish to try and outdo what Bobby accomplished with that song. Glad you liked this music I grew up listening to, you get a thumbs up from me.
I have always been jealous of Bill Medley's singing ability. My voice is deep as well but I can not nearly sing as good as he can. This song I have known my entire life. My mom loved this song and so I grew up with it listening to it many times. And even after all this time I still get goose bumps when I hear it. Very different from the other two songs, this one makes you instantly want to dance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jg8q32s3dkA.html
This song is the most ever played on the radio in the 20th century.... FYI - this video you're reviewing takes the studio version of the song and 'grafts' it over a live performance video...
If I may, as you liked Bill's deep voice, please check out "I Just Want To Make Love To You". As a side note, "You've Lost..." was the most played and requested song of the 20th Century, according to BMI.
The tall, dark-haired one, Bill Medley, has been an amazing performer for 60 years, and still performs occasionally. He was the brains behind the group, and his baritone voice was wonderful. The shorter one, Bobby Hatfield, got a lot of credit for his very high tenor range, especially in unchained melody, but he was a drug user and died more than 20 years ago, having lost much of his range.
You talk like it's no big deal nowadays, just a part of life? Yet I know people that have been married for 60 years or more. They are more in love now, then when they were first married.
