The Righteous Brothers’ raw emotional R&B sound not only created the genre “Blue-Eyed Soul”, but the very term was coined specifically for them. Combining the density of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” production with Bill Medley’s deep, rich, powerful baritone created a totally original sound that still resonates today. BMI ranked You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ 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, a Grammy, and was named Video of The Year.
