Righteous Brothers -- Unchained Melody (Live, 1965) (Picture and Sound Restored)

Visit my reaction channel! Search “Radio Reactive One.“ Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers performs his classic hit, “Unchained Melody.“ This is a live performance on NBC-TV’s The Andy Williams Show in 1965 when the song was hot on the top 40 charts. The Righteous Brothers were a duo comprised of Bill Medley (the tall, dark-haired guy with the bass-baritone voice) and Bobby Hatfield (seen as a solo performer in this video). When the two performed together on such hits as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling“ and “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration,“ magic happened. Their two very different voices created amazing harmonies that helped to define the sound that came to be known as “Blue-Eyed Soul.“ But when Bobby Hatfield soloed, as he did here, his incredible range was on full display. Sadly, Bobby died in 2003, but not until after he and Bill Medley were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. RIP, Bobb
