Bobbie Hatfield Of The Righteous Brothers Sings "Unchained Melody"... (If you've never heard this, you have a huge treat in store for you.)
...LOVELY. He was only twenty-five and very nervous before he sang this song. You can tell by his breathless words when talking to Andy Williams with Bill Medley. But once he got into the song he relaxed, ~ and sang his heart. His sweet smile at the end shows that he knew he nailed it!... I'll always love you, Bobby. Rest in peace, beautiful singer. >>> Bobby Hatfield sang this magnificently beautiful song on October 25, 1965. His mother and new wife were in the audience and Bobby had a cold at the time. According to some sources, the notes he sang at the end of Unchained Melody are indeed high C. He changed the melody for the “I need your love” line in the final verse, singing it very high. He also claimed that he had not lost any of the high notes in his tenor range since the original recording, but had actually gained one note. Bobby Hatfield, a tenor, could sing an astonding four octaves with seemingly effortless ease. He was greatly praised for his warm, smooth, and luscious tone, his vowel choices, his transitions between registers, and his mix of soaring falsetto and rich, deep chest voice. He had a tremendous voice and talent, and his solo performance of Unchained Melody is considered one of the finest vocalizations of the song and one of the most beautiful love song renditions of all time.
Unchained Melody was written for the 1955 movie, Unchained, a drama set in a prison. An inmate sings the song about his wife, his longing to see her and his worry that, because of their separation, she no longer loves him.
People melted when young, handsome, sweet and humble Bobby Hatfield sang Unchained Melody. Women, and men too, dripped unashamed tears, saying they had no words vivid enough to describe the way his clear, powerful voice and his pure and honest way with the song made them feel. Myriads of couples in love claim it as their song.
