First Time Hearing Unchained Melody

This is one of those now ubiquitous YouTube videos of Black Americans listening to White singers singing Black-inspired popular music for the first time. (I am actually doubtful of the “first time” angle, but the trope still works. It allows viewers to appreciate the quality of the singing in a new way.)

In this case, a young Black woman listens to Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers singing Unchained Melody. (The duo recorded it in 1965, with Hatfield doing the vocals.)
