Fifteen years ago, it turned out that the number one single played in the history of American radio was none other than the Righteous Brothers’ hit title “Lovin Feeling.” Guess what, it still is.
That is part of the ageless legacy of Bill Medley, the surviving half of the famed Righteous Brothers, who will be coming to the Avalon on October 24th.
From the mid-1960s, when he and his Righteous musical partner Bobby Hatfield became a fixture on Top Forty radio with hits like “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin,” “Just Once in My Life,” “Unchained Melody,” and “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration,” through the ‘80s with his Grammy- and Oscar-winning hit “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” for the film Dirty Dancing and beyond…Medley has shaped the soundtrack of American life for decades.
Having lost his partner Bobby Hatfield in 2003, Medley has returned to the studio and the road to universal acclaim. Rolling Stone says of Medley’s new album: “This gritty singer has delivered his finest solo album and the best thing he’s done since the Sixties, period.”
