He authored the book The Time of My Life: A Righteous Brother's Memoir and continues to perform around the world to this day.
Medley's first musical group was a singing duo called the Romancers, which he formed with his friend Don Fiduccia. Two of their songs, "Womaling" and "Chimes of My Heart," were recorded by the vocal quartet the Diamonds. Medley and Fiduccia subsequently formed the Paramours with Nick Tuturro and Sal Fasulo. Later, they were joined by Barry Rillera and Mike Rider. The Paramours went on to land a contract with Smash Records, releasing such songs as "Miss Social Climber" and "That's the Way We Love."
Bill Medley was born on September 19, 1940 in Santa Ana, California to Irma and Arnol, who had a swing band. Brought up in the Presbyterian faith, he sang in his church's choir. Medley became even more passionate about music when he listened to R&B songs on black-oriented radio stations; among his earliest influences wasLittle Richard.
Through band mate and mutual friend Barry Rillera, Medley met fellow singer Bobby Hatfield in the early 60s. Medley and Hatfield went on to perform together alongside saxophonist John Wimber. In late 1962, the group released a single called "There She Goes (She's Walking Away)." Ultimately, the group was unsuccessful, and broke up. Medley and Hatfield subsequently formed the duo the Righteous Brothers in 1963 and released their first single, "Little Latin Lupe Lu." The following year, they performed at a show in San Francisco, California presided over by record producerPhil Spector, who was so impressed by the duo that he signed them to his label Philles Records. The Righteous Brothers went on to have their first number-one hit with 1965's "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." They had further hits with "Unchained Melody," "Just Once in My Life," and "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration."
The Righteous Brothers' music received unusually large boosts thanks to appearances in some classic films. In two cases, their songs became intricately connected to the movies. "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" was a centerpiece in the 1986 movie "Top Gun" and "Unchained Melody" was featured prominently in the 1990 movie "Ghost".
The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame byBilly Joelin March 2003. The pair performed together regularly until Hatfield passed away in November 2003. Hatfield actually died at a Radisson Hotel Kalamazoo, Michigan hours before a scheduled Righteous Brothers concert.
The Righteous Brothers' best known hit is probably "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin". According to BMI, the song has been broadcast over 20 million times, making it the most played radio song of the 20th century. Their single "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" was certified Gold and hit #1 in the United States in 1966. Bobby is also notable for his 1965 version of "Unchained Melody" which he performed solo, but is credited and was released as a Righteous Brothers song.
