“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” is considered to be one of the greatest Rock & Roll recordings ever produced. The Righteous Brothers, formed by Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield in 1963 were originally part of a five member group called The Paramours. After the group broke up Bill and Bobby were performing at a Marine Base in California. An audience member shouted, “That was righteous, brothers!” after their set – The Righteous Brothers were born. Bill Medley’s rich baritone combined perfectly with Bobby Hatfield’s tenor – igniting their blue eyed soul career.
“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” was produced for The Righteous Brothers by Phil Spector in 1964 , followed by several other hits, including: “Unchained Melody”, “You’re My Soul and Inspiration ”, “Ebb Tide” and “Rock and Roll Heaven”. Bill Medley achieved solo success with the Grammy-winning duet “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” with Jennifer Warnes. He also wrote a successful memoir, *The Time of My Life*. The Righteous Brothers have earned their place in Rock & Roll history.
BILL MEDLEY will be our guest this Saturday 8/19/24.
