The Righteous Brothers' raw emotional R&B sound created the genre Blue-Eyed Soul, a term coined specifically for them. Bill Medley's deep, powerful baritone created an original sound that still resonates today. BMI ranked "You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” as having had more television and radio airplay than any other song in history!

In 1987, Medley scored another monumental hit with "I’ve Had the Time of My Life," from the film Dirty Dancing. The song earned an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy and was named Video of The Year. In 2003, The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We are proud to welcome Bill Medley to open the 2011-2012 Walker Center Season!
