You are absolutely right in calling these recordings "treasure".
We played this song at our wedding in 1968. I'm 75 yrs. young. Love it, love you !!
Another great song of theirs that really highlights their vocal talents is "You'll Never Walk Alone" live on The Ed Sullivan Show. In fact Bobby hits a note so high in this song that it causes Bill's head to jerk away as if in pain!!!
The thing to appreciate here the most is back then there were no auto tune, voice, alterations, auto correct or anything other than a pair of microphones and some speakers the rest was just pure talent. Meaning they could go out and sing a song at a sunny school picnic, and it would sound just as good, because it was pure
Absolutely. Some younger folks, not all as evidenced here , now call it "Old School" [Golly gee what an original overused phrase -yawn] which I find completely insulting to the talent that was there and to those of us in an older age group. The revenge is in knowing after I am gone, some SOB is going to start calling todays younger generation's music "Old School" and I will be lmao from my grave, as I haunt them lol.
From another comment section I saw
"Also, there were plenty of other studio tricks that people used before autotune. LONG before autotune. Many of your favorite artists have vocals that are at the very least doubled (though often layered even more than that) to "thicken" them up, they do a million takes to get the notes right, you've got tons of effects to give voices width and depth that doesn't translate into a recording, FX + mic volumes set to make very quiet voices sound loud, and, when necessary, you could speed up or slow down a tape or whatever to tweak notes in sort of a primitive version of autotune. And when all else failed, you could bring in another singer to "sweeten" the vocal track by adding another layer below the main vocal. Not to mention all the "classic" songs and artists from any decade who were mainly talk-singing rather than actually singing. Also, let's not pretend every band from any time period was amazing. Every decade has trash. We only remember the good ones because the bad ones fade away (unless they make some sort of novelty song or one-hit wonder). This myth that every pre-2000s singer was a virtuoso and ever since then (coincidentally, ever since the "nostalgia bubble" of various commenters' teens and twenties ended) every artist has been a talentless hack is egocentric nonsense perpetuated by people who don't understand the truth: they're approaching mid-life, what they're actually feeling is the sadness of their youth slipping away, and they're projecting their existential anger at the relentless march of time on anything that's "different" from their prime years. They're shaking their metaphorical fists at the kids who are metaphorically walking on their metaphorical lawn. And they're blaming it on fences not working as well as they used to. The evidence of this? Literally every single generation feels the same about the music (and movies and fashion and culture) of their teens and twenties (back when life was simpler and the world was their oyster). For every commenter who says "the 90s was the best time to grow up and had the best music," there's an older person who thinks the 90s were garbage and the 80s were the best time. And an even older person who thinks the 80s and everything after were garbage and the 70s was the best time to be a teen with the best music, etc, etc. I still remember my maternal grandmother telling me that Guns 'N' Roses was "not music" because they were "just banging things together while one guy screams" unlike the music she grew up with, and my other grandparents telling me how Michael Jackson's "Thriller" wasn't music because "it doesn't have any melodies," unlike their Big Band music such as Glenn Miller and the like. "Good music" isn't an objective reality, it's a matter of perspective that the briefest glance at the eternally repeating pattern easily reveals. Talk to a Gen-Z kid (who's currently living the years that will eventually become the time they're nostalgic for) and you'll find they connect just as hard with the modern music many older commenters under reaction videos hate as those commenters did to what was popular when they were young. And, eventually, those Gen-Z kids will look back on the music, movies, and fashions of today as "the best" while they call everything that comes after garbage. Why? Because they're making their best memories with that music as the soundtrack and its that emotional/memory connection to music that makes it "the best." Whatever you were listening to when you were having your first loves, your first breakups, your good times with friends, your sad, lonely times, etc... THAT'S what's going to resonate with you, no matter the decade, genre, or recording technique. There have always been people who can sing really well live... AND there have always been artists who needed a little technological help. Heck, you can go all the way back to Janis Joplin--a legendary vocalist--and discover that, if you read interviews from the folks who signed her, they wanted to get her into the studio quickly because--while emotionally hard-hitting--her live vocals were not consistent or on-key enough to put on record. They knew she needed a studio with lots of takes to translate the "magic" of the potential they heard live. If they'd had autotune back then, Janis would've been autotuned all to hell and back. And, as long as Janis got close enough to the notes in the take, you'd probably never notice. The only artists where you really hear the autotune are (a) the ones who crank it up for effect, (b) rappers who can rap their buttocks off but can't sing a lick (nor do they really need to, as it's not their forte), or (c) producer-puppets signed for their looks and/or personality (looking at you, Britney Spears!) and who just plain can't sing anywhere near the notes, leaving the computer to do all the heavy lifting. Otherwise, for most, it's very subtle, shifting notes a half-step here or there to tighten up a take that has the "magic" in it but isn't technically perfect. Doesn't mean they CAN'T do it, just that they didn't on a take that was otherwise "the one." And why do that? Because it's faster and cleaner than the pre-autotune way of punching in or editing different takes together and trying to make them match (given how many takes they did and how much they tweaked stuff in the studio, the Beatles would've loved some autotune rather than having to splice tape together or punch in-again!- to a limited track recording that's already getting muddy). Taking an emotional step back, I think we can all agree that humans have a tendency to give a lot of leeway to live performances vs. studio recordings. If a band you like is slightly off time, off pitch, misses a note here, drops a lyric there, or hits a bit of a clunker along the way, you forgive it. Still, there's a reason that whenever a band releases a "live" album, it's almost always made up of performances taken from various shows on the tour and not all just taken from one show (despite how they present it on record to sound like a single show). They pick the best performed and leave the ones that fell flat on the cutting room floor. The biggest "problems" in the modern era are that (1) technology has democratized music and the traditional gatekeepers are losing ground, so more people than ever can put music out independently (or with a small label behind them) without necessarily being vetted for talent so, obviously, you're gonna hear more junk than ever, meaning the good artists--of which there are just as many as ever--get a little lost and harder to find in the suddenly much larger crowd; (2) technology allows more people than ever to enhance their actual abilities, meaning you'll get a lot more stuff that sounds decent as a produced track but which they can't replicate live; and (3) related to the first two, like everything else in the world, the people in the music biz have gotten more sophisticated at playing the game (and gaming the system) and, of course, the money people aren't going to pass up the opportunity to put someone with looks and charisma up front to make lots of money, even if that means they have to do some studio trickery to make the audio portion passable. Personally, I don't see these as problems. They're just different. The upside is that, without the traditional gatekeepers, we also get to discover a lot of artists we never would've heard otherwise because maybe they didn't have "the look" or some producer didn't think they had "it," or maybe because their chosen style doesn't match what's currently popular, or just because they didn't luck into the right place at the right time to be discovered. How many potentially great musicians from past decades never got heard because they just never got that break? And, finally, here's the other thing nobody wants to talk about: All these folks who say "the [insert decade when commenter was young]'s were the best time to grow up, with the best music, kids today don't know what good music is, and everything current is garbage"? Ask any one of them where they're going to listen to new music, what bands they've heard, what kind of modern genres they're digging into, etc. and 97% of the time you're going to get a blank look and vapor-lock. Why? Because they don't actually listen to anything new or seek out artists or songs other than what they hear a snippet of in passing somewhere. There are PLENTY of great and talented musicians today, just as there always has been, but these people who are complaining don't actually seek them out or have any idea that they even exist. They hear a sh***y pop song in passing and pass judgement on an entire generation. It's silly."
Ola, such a sweet, heartfelt reaction. The Righteous Brothers will do that to a girl. Bill's thundering baritone and Bobby's flowing tenor were magic together.
This era of music was magical also. When men wooed women by winning their hearts, and treated them with respect and dignity. This kind of music is timeless.
Thank you for listening tp your subscribers.
Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 ... Bill Medley , the deeper voiced " brother " had a terrific duet with jennifer Warnes . " I've Had the Time of My Life " ...from the movie Dirty Dancing .
Sadly Bobby passed away alone in a hotel room, for a cocaine induced heart attack.. I was blessed to see them perform back in the late 70’s.. been a huge fan of theirs for almost 60 years..
@@RavenFire4 Bobby needed bypass surgery. He was going to have that heart attack with or without that trace amounts of cocaine.
He was alone in the hotel room because he was on tour.
I was gonna say that song was written by Buffy Sainte Marie but I forgot she wrote that other Jennifer Warnes song up where we belong.
😂@@Aurora-tp3dy
Oh my, the Righteous Brothers! I was in high school when they came out in 1964. I have every vinyl record album they made. I still play their greatest CD hits in my car. Love these guys!!! RIP Bobby! ❤️ ❤❤
You’ll love Summertime (Bobby) and You’ll Never Walk Alone (both).
Such a great song. Thank you for reacting! 🎉❤
Your reaction when Bobby spoke the monologue was so beautiful, it melted my heart as well as yours.❤
I listened to these guys in the 1960's still great vocals better than anyone singing today.
Easy to fall for these two guys; romantic songs, heartfelt, and handsome, and classy. Listen to ‘Ebb Tide’, ‘Somewhere’, You’ll Never Walk Alone… more gold from the Righteous Brothers.
Please watch them sing You'll Never Walk Alone
My favourite song of theirs is Rock And Roll Heaven from the 70s.
The next reaction to Righteous Brothers the song never walk alone you will love. Thanks!
Your reactions to The Righteous Brothers (3 or 4 so far) are terrific. I believe that they’re the greatest all-time duo to ever grace the music stage, and you showcase them beautifully!
Your reaction is lovely....Bobby does ebb tide by himself but I think you'd like it
One everyone fails to mention is Bobby doing “Ebb Tide.” It will surely melt your heart away. Just make sure it’s Bobby though.because someone out there posted an imposter singing, but listing it as them.
You know , you got it Bobby when you're dead and you're still making girl's heart melt lol 😎😎😎😎
If only i could have 1/10th of their charisma 😭
You might want to check out their first hit record, Little Latin Lupe Lu. It's a little dance number that caught fire on LA radio and spread Nationwide.
It is wonderful to watch your reactions to real heart felt music that comes from the heart.
Bright Angel, you should have songs like this sung to you daily. I love your channel and your heartfelt commentary. Thank you for
all the hard work you put into bringing us such great content.
The very best!!!!
They were really good the Righteous Brothers they put out a lot of good songs

You are so precious reacting to the soundtrack of my life!

I just love your sweet reactions. Great music
Yeah, I fell in love with them too- and I’m the straightest of straight guys🤣
I enjoy watching your reaction...very sweet!
Yes she is fun to watch
Ha ha you can tell you are a Scorpio. You fall in love with everyone just like me 😂
Great reactions though keep it up and I think you will do well ❤
Such beautiful music. I’m so happy that I found your channel! I’m a very emotional person too and seeing your emotions from such a beautiful young lady just triggers my emotions even more. Thank you for sharing these wonderful songs for us.
What a Pleasant Reaction Channel. The Host Is so Emotional and we love it. Thanks for discovering the best Blue Eye Soul that ever existed. Thank You Righteous Brothers for inspiration that the hostess and all fans just adore your musianship. Hostess is sweet & kind and yes she's beautiful and herself is glowing with inspiration. Thumbs Up To Your Channel
I so loved your increible and genuine reaction. 😊
Top shelf. Great music in a turbulent world at that time.
Dont know why but when I listen to this I cry? possibly a combination of knowing Bobby died too young, and my lost youth.
Have you noticed his face looks slightly different, from earlier songs? He fell on his face in 1988 and had multiple injuries.
The Righteous Brothers were also known as Blue eyed Soul Brothers grew up listening to their music and still love it. I loved your reactions to their music.
Really...You're very good taste 😊
Love your reactions.
best song of 1966. all the guys and gals loved it.
Geez, what vocal powerhouses. And suave all over. Great reaction!
You would love EBB TIDE Bobby sings it solo
There is a song called Ebb Tide by these guys you should pay it You do a nice job keep it up wiith the oldies its real music
Would like to hear your reaction to ;
Volbeat- still counting Live open air in Wacken 2017
I read the other day that Bill’s ex wife was murdered. I didn’t know that before.
86-year old Shirley Bassey, whose many hit songs include: Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, For All We Know, Never, Never, Never, Day By Day, With One Look, As If We Never Said Good Bye, Love Story, and more. You Tube them when you get a chance, you’ll discover more great tunes, and your listeners will appreciate your reactions!
Bill Medley is still performing at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. Seen him several times.
Thanks great song. Great reaction
Tall dark haired baritone is Bill Medley..the blonde tenor is Bobby Hatfield..my favorite.
See Shirley Bassey, who many consider he greatest female vocalist of all time - “For All We Know,” “Diamonds are Forever,” “Where Do I Begin/Love Story, “ “Light my Fire,” and many others you’ll learn about when you google her for live performances. Performing for 60 years.
another great song by them is I JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE TO YOU
The Tall One with the Deep Bass Voice is Bill Medley and the other is Bobby Hatfield !
Watch Bobby sing Summertime
You’ll really enjoy reacting to Bassey. And Johnny Mathis. Both still performing in their mid-80’s
Another deep voice singer u should check out is JD Sumner with Elvis Presley singing Why Me Lord?
You have a ton more to discover and I'll be on the journey with you. Luckily all the screaming from the fans has been edited out so you can actually hear their brilliant vocals. They were also a couple of young pranksters. There's a video of their Shindig performances and in one clip Bill is playing keep away with the mic and Bill ends up sitting on the stage scooting across on his butt while Bobby is following him around and nearly tackles and drags him around but they never stopped singing. Laughed until I about wet my pants.
This song has producer Phil Spector's "Wall of sound". Another nightclub two step for
Wendy and I.
It was produced by Bill. It was there first after leaving Spector's record label.
Ola, I think would Love this>.. Bobby Vinton - Mr. Lonely or Blue Velvet
💙💙💙
The only FM station I listen to pretty much anymore plays 60's & 70's hits. All the best music was made on the other side of 2000, 20th century had some great music. It's rarer to hear anything worth listening to in the last dozen years. Just their hits alone is just iconic vocals, epic lyrics.
❤❤🥰🥰
react to the bee gees 'too much heaven'
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for Ola! Ever see the movie "Dirty Dancing"? Bill Medley (Righteous Brother) sings with Jennifer Warnes... *(I've Had) TheTime of My Life* Enjoy!
This video has the studio recording replacing the live audio. The live performance is available. It's the one where Nancy Sinatra introduces them.
LISTEN TO SEE THAT GIRL FROM THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS
Girl you love thes😮 too you like flan😅do
I’d like to see you do some songs from the group called tool. A good start would be the pot.
Try you lost that loving feeling by your new favorite the king Elvis the live version 👌
I love seeing you young kids discovering the super stars from the past. I was in high school (yep, I'm really old) when this came out. They've been melting girls hearts for a really long time. If you want another guy to fall in love with, try Tom Jones.
Bill Medley is the tall one and Bobby Hatfield is the shorter.
Take a listen to “ Ebb Tide “ you will not be dissapointed 🔥🔥👍
Please play I Just Want To Make Love To You by the Brothers
I Wanna Make Love to You next.......the song 😊
Try Bobby on the summer time song 😮
Back when both men and women were looking for a long and loving relationship. Not power and control… it was the basis of a happy life …
You should check out an early blues tinged song called I just wanna make love to you- a little spicy for the time
It's too bad that the most popular videos of theirs for You've Lost That Loving Feeling and Soul & Inspiration are not the actual live performances. They've had the studio recording dubbed over them. Which is fine, but the original live performances are great as well, and are often being overlooked.
Someone recently uploaded the last part of their appearance on the Andy Williams show (the one that Unchained Melody is taken from) singing a cover of "What'd I Say". It's a fantastic showcase of their talents, and also their personalities. I'd highly recommend that you check it out - czcams.com/video/zcqEjWvjAm4/video.html
I really want you to check out "I Just Want to Make Love to You" by them.
They wear suits not ripped jeans.
The only thing to look forward to is the past...
Bobby would probably still be alive if not for a cocaine induced heart attack in his sleep.
It was a wonderful time for all these beautiful songs an you missed it, sorry!!
