简介

小简介 Bill Medley原Righteous Brothers成员之一。Bill Medley低沉的嗓音是令人深陷而不可自拔的，这种感觉同样能在Leonardo Cohen身上找到。Righteous Brothers为Blue-eyed Soul赋予了新的定义，他们为人鬼情未了演唱的歌曲至今还是传唱中的经典 Best-known as the Righteous Brother with the rich baritone, Bill Medley grew up surrounded by music: his father led a band and played saxophone, while his mother sang and played piano. Medley himself sang in his church choir as a boy, with the glee club in high school, and in the early 60s in his band the Paramours. Soon after, Medley began singing with Bobby Hatfield as the Righteous Brothers, a partnership that spawned hits like Youve Lost That Lovin Feeling and Unchained Melody. When the duo parted ways in 1968, Medley pursued a solo career, scoring hits such as Brown-Eyed Woman and releasing albums like Soft and Soulful, Nobody Knows, and A Song for You. Medley reunited with Hatfield in 1974, then took a five-year break from performing in 1976. However, he continued to record throughout the 80s, scoring his most notable hit with the Grammy Award-winning number one single (Ive Had) The Time of My Life, a duet with Jennifer Warnes taken from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Meanwhile, the Righteous Brothers popularity rose again thanks to the inclusion of Youve Lost That Lovin Feeling on the Top Gun soundtrack and Unchained Melody on the Ghost soundtrack; Medley and Hatfield responded by reuniting again and touring the oldies circuit, which they continued to play throughout the 90s. Medley still found time for his solo career, releasing albums such as 1996s Christmas Memories and the following years Almost Home, while living with his family in Newport Beach. A decade later — and four years after the death of his fellow Righteous Brother Hatfield — Medley returned with Damn Near Righteous, which featured cameos by Brian Wilson, Phil Everly, and Medleys daughter McKenna.
