  • With Bill Medley
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 26, 2009 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS THE RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS WITH BILL MEDLEY LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE SATURDAY, JANUARY 16 When Bobby Hatfield passed away in November 2003, it was a fearsome blow to Bill Medley who co-founded The Righteous Brothers in 1962. Medley had lost a friend, a business partner and most of all, a singing partner with whom he’d been associated since his late teens. Some observers may have expected him to walk away from music … if so, they simply didn’t know him. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Orange County’s Santa Ana, Medley always had a passion for music. He taught himself to play piano which led to writing songs and he figured songwriting rather than performing would be his key to a career in music. But when he peddled his songs to other singers and musicians, they invariably declined to do them asking after they heard him sing, “What about you?” … and that was basically why he became a singer. In the early ‘60s, Medley formed a local group called The Paramours and was introduced to Hatfield who led The Variations. One night they put their voices together and the result was magic. They went on to record such hits as “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Just Once in My Life,” “Unchained Melody,” “Ebb Tide” and “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration.” Their partnership lasted four decades though Medley explored his solo options on occasion first going out on his own in the late ‘60s.

  • The Righteous Brothers Return to the Florida Theatre on Saturday, January 9, 2021
    The Righteous Brothers Return to the Florida Theatre on Saturday, January 9, 2021 Jacksonville, Fla. (July 7, 2020) – The Florida Theatre is pleased to welcome the return of The Righteous Brothers on Saturday, January 9, 2021. With a string of No. 1 classics, including the most played song in radio history, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts in four decades. After Bobby’s death in 2003, Bill Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world, but fans and friends pleaded with him to keep The Righteous Brothers alive. Says Medley, “No one could ever take Bobby’ s place, but when I caught Bucky Heard’s show it all came together – I found the right guy to help me recreate the magic.” The concert experience features their biggest hits – “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” “Soul & Inspiration,” “Unchained Melody”, “Rock and Roll Heaven”, Medley’s GRAMMY-winning Dirty Dancing theme “The Time of My Life,” and much, much more! Bill Medley is truly one of the iconic figures in American music history. His instantly recognizable baritone voice has anchored some of the biggest recordings of all time. He’s won a GRAMMY, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and an American Music Award. The Orange County, CA native began writing songs as a boy and had his breakout as a songwriter and singer when, in 1963, the Medley-penned “Little Latin Lupe Lu” became a regional hit for Bill and Bobby Hatfield, as their first release as The Righteous Brothers.

  • Unchained Melody: May 22, 2020
    Unchained Melody: May 22, 2020 Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, two young guys from Southern California, started singing together back in the early ‘60s. Once, when they were performing at a local bar, a black serviceman from the nearby Marine base stood up at the end of their set and shouted, “That was righteous, brothers!” The phrase stuck in their minds, and that’s how the duo got their name. In 1965 The Righteous Brothers had their second big hit (the first was “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’”). Thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can still watch Bobby Hatfield in a live performance recorded 55 years ago [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYj2hex99gY]. Listen to him sing: “Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time Time goes by so slowly And time can do so much….” “Unchained Melody” became one of the most-recorded songs of the 20th century. The Righteous Brothers wrenched it from obscurity. It had been written years before as the theme for a now- forgotten movie called “Unchained,” set inside a prison, about a prisoner mourning his separation from his wife and family. Bobby’s soaring tenor captures the intensity of yearning for someone precious who is beyond your reach. “Oh, my love, my darling, I’ve hungered for your touch….” To be human is to hunger for another’s touch. It’s a need that begins when life begins, and it’s with us to the end of our days. We know, now, that skin-to-skin contact benefits babies and mothers in the first hours of life, that it nourishes the brain and helps children thrive.
