Non-Fiction Memoir
From an early age, Bill Medley had a passion for music.
School glee club and amateur singing contests soon gave way
to the albums of Ray Charles and Little Richard. That raw
R&B influence would profoundly shape Medley’s musical future. As the pioneering “blue-eyed soul” group the Righteous
Brothers, Bill Medley and late partner Bobby Hatfield sang
such huge hits as “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration,”
“Unchained Melody,” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,”
the latter recognized by BMI as the most-played song of the
twentieth century. Medley’s duet with Jennifer Warnes for
the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, “(I’ve Had) the Time of My
Life,” became a worldwide No. 1 single on its way to winning
an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe. But Medley’s story isn’t just about the hits and the awards.
It’s about an immensely talented man who reached the
pinnacle of fame, success, and excess, until the shocking
murder of his wife, Karen. In time, this tragedy eventually
helped him renew his commitment to both faith and family.
