This is, almost totally unarguably, the finest live vocal performance ever. Bobby's total control over his voice is astonishing and he utilises nearly every note in 4 octave range. I don't believe there's a singer alive who can do this without studio fakery. Even more so, this live version is even superior to the studio recording of this amazing song.
Seeing him bite his lip at the end, he knows he's nailed this, with his mum in the audience who hadn't seen him perform live since Bobby and his singing partner Bill Medley began enjoying hit records.
As for further exploration into the 1960s, absolutely yes. No decade has been more diverse, accepting, nor more creative than the 60s. It's a deep well of some of the greatest music ever done.

The quietness of the audience is total respect for the artist.

Bobby Hatfield hit 24 notes clear as a bell on live tv. I highly doubt any of our present day performers have the capacity to rival that

Bobby had an amazing talent. He to this day is still my favorite male singer.
They played this video at his funeral. What a great way to pay tribute to him.

This was my parents' song. My dad was a career US Navy aviator (27 years) and spent many many months at sea on aircraft carriers. Until his retirement in 1977, half their married life was spent apart. They are now slow dancing to this in heaven.

Not bad for a guy who never had any singing lessons, pure natural talent.

@edgarvilla3272 3 years ago

There is no question this is the best live singing performance ever. I view this just about every day.

@ruudversteege2868 3 years ago

I am Dutch, 63 years old and first heard this song in 1968 (Yes I was 8) and I was blown away. Since then I have heard this song thousands of times (also by other artists). But Bobby's version is not from this planet. The best ever. Ladies and gentlemen.... this is how you present and sing a song.

“You’ve lost that loving feeling” is the righteous brothers biggest hit and has them both singing

I love Bobby biting his lip at the end as if to ask the audience 'did I do OK?' He absolutely nailed it. It was magnificent.

No one has sung this song better than the late great Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. Done live in 1965 on the Andy Williams Show. Never has an orchestra and a singer was so well in sync then when Bobby Hatfield and the NBC Studio Orchestra performed this live 58 years ago in 1965.
This (Live) performance has been considered as the greatest live performance in television history. Great and honest reaction...

One of the most beautiful songs ever, Bobby's voice is unreal and soul piercing. Legendary live performance. Can't wait for your reaction Aileen. 🖤😃

The very best!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm living with my 91-year-old mom at the moment (by choice), and she sings this song every single day AND plays it on the piano, beautifully. I hear it sooo much I find it hard to believe there are people that have never heard it before. That being said, I love your reaction to discovering and loving it. Big Smiles hermanita.

It is wonderful to see young people fall in love with Bobby Hatfield’s ‘Unchained Melody’. His voice was perfection in this live performance.

@louremington6975 3 years ago

Probably, arguably, one of the best live performances ever.

@robertwestover2125 3 years ago

The grin at the end was towards his mother in the audience. He nailed it.

It's really bittersweet that Bobby chose his music over the professional baseball career he could have had. Had he chosen baseball, he might still be with us, but then we would not have his hauntingly beautiful music to listen to. Bobby truly did have the voice of an angel, mesmerizing, addictive, and just a pure joy to listen to. I could not chose a favorite from all his solos as they are all amazing. He will always be my favorite male singer and the owner of this song. There really never will be another Bobby! If you want to hear more of Bobby, listen to I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons) or Only You, or Stay With Me, or My Prayer, or Crying in the Chapel, or For Your Love, or Ebb Tide...just to name a few!

This is a LIVE performance - in 1964 - before there was auto tune and other computer-assists for tone quality. This is just pure, raw talent. He sings this and goes through his 3 octave range tenor with ease, effortlessly and so smooth! Bobby (RIP) owns this song. Arguably the greatest live solo performance of all time.

@badmedicine4352 2 years ago

I know no man that can rival Bobby's performance in this song his vocal range was astounding. I dont believe there's a male opera singer that can come close to this.
Way to go Bobby a lasting impression even today. This man had every female wiping the tears back when listening to this solo. A true artist
RIP BOBBY
