About this episode
We have the legendary Bill Medley in the studio, and we’re talking about everything from the shared characteristics and connections between The Righteous Brothers and The Cowsills, what it’s like to still be singing the songs we sang our 20s, and how we’re stretching ourselves (literally doing pilates!) to keep the music and our vocals alive during a pandemic.
Bill tells us the story of how he and Bobby Hatfield came to meet, forming The Righteous Brothers, and what it was like to record ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin Feeling’ and have it grow to be a number one hit!
Bill recounts their performance on the Ed Sullivan show, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, and his own brief but successful, career in country music. And finally, we talk about Bucky Heard, how they met, and Bill’s decision to revive The Righteous Brothers with Bucky in 2016, 13 years after the passing of Bobby Hatfield.
Song of the week: "Just Once In My Life"
