1965. Live. No autotune. just something lacking in so many of today's singers--TALENT. His mother was in the audience, and he was getting over a cold, believe it or not. In his grave now for two decades, and STILL making womens' hearts flutter...today they would be throwing undies at him on the stage...

Bobby was a countertenor. That's how he could hit those high notes so effortlessly while suffering from head congestion, nervousness because his parents were in the audience for the first time and out of breath from the previous song. You could hear how out of breath he was when they were talking but that seemed to instantly disappear when he started singing.

I’m so glad you showed the whole video with the chit chat with Andy Williams. Bill was kidding when he said he didn’t think it was going to be a hit. They flipped a coin because they both wanted to sing it on one of their albums. It’s only recently that I saw this live performance. The more dramatic ending blows away the studio recording which came out when I was 21.

The Andy Williams Orchestra was killing it with their beautiful string section and horns. Add the great voice of 'Bobby Hatfield' of the 'Righteous Brothers.' It is no wonder why this live performance done back 57 years ago in 1965 is considered by many in the music and television industry as the greatest live performance ever! The rest as they say is history.

@@CjJohnson-kf1oz The Righteous Brothers often played and joked. Phil Spector said and did toxic things that added to the mix. Bill Medley has offered much accurate authoritative information and he has also said some things which were contradictory to other things he has said and to what Bobby Hatfield has said, including about Bobby's choice of "Unchained Melody". Yes, Bill said many things in his book -- after Bobby has gone and can't say his side of the story of a complicated relationship. Many of us have seen, read, and researched and reject some of what Bill has said. One can and will believe what one chooses. I believe Bobby saying that the song was his choice -- which Bill has said, including as he humbly sincerely stated in an interview with them just before Bobby left his life in "The Righteous Brothers" on the Jeff Kreiner KZitem channel that he sang "Unchained Melody" with his original group The Variations and that "I had that one in my pocket". 🎶✨

That comment about it not being a hit was just stage-play … they both liked the song but recorded it as an album cut … it was Bobby’s solo and never intended for two voices. Bobby had a huge vocal range (B2 to Ab6) so he was well within his range here (G5). He was a counter tenor and did not need to go to falsetto. Bill is a Bass-baritone and their ability to blend those two disparate voices is amazing.

I am 81 and have heard several artists 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.

Bobby was 25 in 1965 when this was recorded. The song is from a 50s prison movie called "UNCHAINED." The real reason Bobby recorded the song himself was because they had broken up for a while when the song was recorded. They later got back together. They are in the rock & roll hall of fame. It was a couple of black marines in the bar who gave them their name. Bobby died in 2003 and kept his beautiful voice right to the end. RIP Bobby Hatfield.

As others have pointed out, Bill was joking about why Bobby did this song alone, They each did solos on their albums and they flipped a coin to see who got to do this one. Bobby won and so did the world! The producer (the famous/infamous Phil Spector) was the one who had no faith in the the song. He wouldn't even produce it, so Bill did He put it on the B-side of the single "Hung On You." Fortunately, the radio disc jockeys started flipping the record over. Once it became a hit, Spector changed the producing credit on future copies of it to take credit for producing it, even though he didn't.
