You asked how many times it took to get this perfect take and as others here have mentioned it only took one take because what you heard and saw was the LIVE version of this song which Bobby sung on The Andy Williams TV Show. The studio version was different and didn't have the great ending that this live version had. The studio version was done in two takes. The fact that Bobby simply grabbed the microphone and gave this masterful performance in one try shows how truly gifted he was.

I assume when he did do his rehearsal it was before the show started and before anyone from the audience was there and probably rehearsals was for the stage crew as well so they would know where to place their cameras. Maybe rehearsal was a couple or few hours before the actual event. Either way, I am really impressed

Yes, I was referring to when they recorded it in the studio. To get that version of the song that has so many iconic moments that people can sing along too. Naturally he sang an embellished, more improvised version for the live performance though. He's definitely a very gifted singer

Yes he was a very gifted singer and I grew up just ten miles from where Bobby did. The Righteous Brothers also did another live performance of a well known song called "Never Walk Alone" on the Ed Sullivan show and at the end of that song Bobby hit a note so high that Bill's head involuntarily jerked away as if it hurt his ears. You of course don't have to do a reaction to the song if you don't want to but as a singer yourself you may want to go ahead and view that performance to further appreciate Bobby's talent.@@LisaGrandLand

@@Mr54nomore correct, and that’s not really the issue. When today’s artists record in the studio, not only do they use auto tune, but they record it hundreds of times and pick and choose from all the tape enough to patch together a reasonable version. You can practice all you want, but being able to deliver the entire song perfectly, and not exactly like any other rendition at that, is a very rate talent. Doing it with such an amazing voice is rarer still.

You got most of the true information about this song and about Bobby. The cool thing about the live performance was the fact there were no "redo's". It was "one and done". One thing I don't see mentioned was the fact his mother was in the audience. This, combined with the fact Bobby had stage fright, really added to the performance. He wanted it to be perfect for his Mother. He nailed it. And as has been said, he hit that G4 (G5-?) note at the end, with ease. The studio release version was at a lower octave. This song is 56yrs old at the time of your review. It has and will withstand the test of time forever. Why? Because, "Class Never Goes Out Of Style". Let's see if Cardi B's "WAP" is still around 50yrs from now!

"Now, I think she was in love with me, too, but I was too shy to do anything or even talk to her," Stirrat says 67 years later.... Stirrat wrote the words to "Unchained Melody" in 1936 when he was on a summer scholarship at Yaddo’s Triuna Arts of the Theatre School... www.dansher.com/unchained/unchained.html

So the studio version was done in 2 takes with Bobby adding whatever it was he "heard.". This is a live performance on The Andy Williams Show. One take. IMO, and many agree, though the studio version is fantastic, this live performance is superior.

I was fourteen when this song came out and I was blown away also. I couldn't play it on my record player along with all their other songs. But to watch you smile all the way through the song and let out some precious giggles along the way was just touching. Your explanation of what was going on during his performance delightful and informative. It gave me a better appreciation for the skill it took to do what he did. In the way of a side note, I heard that how they got their name was that while performing at a club where service men who were station at a nearby military base someone said " Wow, that's righteous brother" they heard it and they became The Righteous Brothers. Thank you for giving them some love and for being such a sweetie pie!

The 60's were about a time lost... of a growing up... a time of becoming aware of the ugliness of life crashing down on innocence. A time where the norm was not good enough. The music of that era was special because of songs and sounds like the Righteous Brothers. Bobby Hatfield's version of this song will never be eclipsed by any other. It IS the gold standard and has a special place. I love people's reaction simply because they get lost in the melody...! Bobby's vocal treatment was so exceptional in that he was able to emotionally convey angst and longing and desire. No song has achieved that ever since. The song was used in the movie “Ghost”, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. As for influenced by black singers of the day... Motown was VERY Under-Appreciated... But was LOVED by way more than just the black population...! I loved a lot of songs that Motown produced.

Lisa, loved your reaction video. In this live recording (lowest note being D above middle C), the last note sung is the highest. Bobby runs the scale up at the end from the 2nd C above midC to end the song 4 notes higher on the 3rd G above midC. But in the studio recording (the one heard in movies), he sings his highest note, the 3rd E above midC, on "need", two lines before the end. The last note he sings is actually 2 notes lower, the 2nd C above midC. Then the orchestra, holding his note, plays a slightly different melody and jumps up to the G to end the song.

I know Bill always says Bobby suffered from stage fright, but there's never a hint of it when he's performing, he's dancing, laughing and goofing around just before this gold standard performance, he doesn't look at all nervous to me. But just saying, does any grown man have the right to be so downright adorable? RIP Bobby, you were so loved.

I like your style girl, you explain more in a song/artist review than others. Keep it up, now subscribed. This era, my era had real talent and style without circus showmanship/

Bobby nailed it; his mom was in the front row. How cool was that😁

What you are saying between the lines is, There are no singers today that can perform and sing like the singers of the 50s 60s 70s, plus they cannot write songs and lyrics like they did in them days, No auto tune, No vocal corrector, we had to know how to move the mike away from our mouths when we went for the high notes, we had to have our stage presentation spot on, Dress spot on, pity those days are gone, I loved being a performer.

I agree with your assessment of the song. The only thing I would add is that not every "good" singer can be taught to sing like this. Much of this comes from the heart and soul of the person performing. PURE RAW TALENT. Emotion in every chord.

I'm glad you noticed the trills during the section of the song about "lonely rivers flowing to the sea"; that little detail jumped out for me after I had heard this version several times. To me, it is just another small thing that passes unnoticed usually, but adds a lot to the song. I read somewhere, but have been unable to verify it, that the arrangement for this live performance was done by the other Righteous Brother, BIll Medley.

One take. Live performance. No autotune, no dubbing, etc.

I must say, lovely young lady, that was one of the best reaction (analysis) of this iconic classic I have ever watched. Your break down of his runs, trill and imagery, created with the verse, shows an astuteness in your ability to analyse. Extremely well done Miss Lisa.

Really? My voice on getting out of bed is 5 octaves lower, guttural, and likely understood only by great apes.

It is said when he finished the first take in the studio, Bobby said he thought he could do it better. His partner Bill Medley said, no you can't.

As far as I know, he never had any vocal training......just a natural voice. The greatest version of the greatest love song ever written.
