Bill Medley

Bill Medley is perhaps best known as half of the unmistakable duo, The Righteous Brothers. Their raw emotional rhythm and blues sound essentially created the genre "blue-eyed soul." In the mid-1960s, Bill and partner Bobby Hatfield became a fixture on Top Forty radio with their many hits.

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Orange County's Santa Ana, Medley always had a passion for music. His father led a big band and played saxophone and his mother played piano and sang. Bill gravitated to glee club and amateur singing contests during his youth, but when he heard the music of Ray Charles and Little Richard, the idea of making music for a living became his goal.

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.

Combining Bill's unmistakable baritone with Bobby's forceful tenor and the density of Phil Spector's "wall of sound" production, the Righteous Brothers defied traditional music labels with air play on both pop and R&B radio stations. Their partnership lasted four decades, though Medley explored his solo options apart from the duo on occasion. He went on his own in the late 60s for six years. In 1974, the duo reunited and resumed their hit-making ways with the prophetic "Rock and Roll Heaven." Their live shows continued to attract fans and gained the respect of a new generation of listeners. In 1987, Medley scored a monumental hit with another duettist, Jennifer Warnes, on "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," for the film Dirty Dancing. The song earned an Oscar, a Golden Globe, Video of The Year, and a Grammy, and the soundtrack became one of the most successful since Saturday Night Fever, selling 14 million copies and once again put Medley at the top of the Billboard charts. In 1990, the Righteous Brothers' classic version of "Unchained Melody" appeared in the hit film Ghost and again ran all the way up the Billboard charts, introducing yet another new generation to the works of The Righteous Brothers.

On March 10, 2003, The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction came just months before Bobby Hatfield's unexpected death. Medley not only lost his singing partner...he had lost a close friend whom he'd known since his late teens.

This year - for the first time since Hatfield's passing - Bill Medley has gone back into the studio to record an album that not only honors the legacy of their historic partnership, but also reveals the artistry of Medley in his own right. Damn Near Righteous pays tribute to a number of legendary mentors and peers - including Hatfield. David Wild of Rolling Stone Magazine, said of Medley's new album, "This gritty singer has delivered his finest solo album and the best thing he's done since the Sixties, period."

McKenna Medley

22-year-old daughter of the Righteous Brothers' Bill Medley...McKenna Medley started singing at age six. By the time she was 15, she was performing in Las Vegas with her own musical group made up of members from the performing arts high school she attended in Orange County, CA.

McKenna has performed at the National Rodeo in Las Vegas for three years in a row, singing the National Anthem on opening night in February 2006. She also performed on the Television hit "Dancing with the Stars" with her father, doing a version of his song "(I've Had The) Time of My Life" from the blockbuster movie "Dirty Dancing."
