“Bucky and I did an album, basically to sell at the concerts; it was kind of a good way for Bucky to learn the show and get acquainted with all of those songs,” explained Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers as he talked about moving on after the passing of Bobby Hatfield, his friend and now stage partner Bucky Heard, movie placements and their current tour which sees them stopping at Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA and State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. "That is really what the album is, it is all of our old songs. I did a duet with Van Morrison on his new album and I get called quite a bit to do a duet or this and that and if I like the song, I’ll do it; I’m 81 so, I’m not holding my breath waiting to record. I feel very blessed that I’m able to still come out on the road and perform so, I feel like I’m way ahead of the game.”
Medley’s voice is perhaps the most recognizable in all of music; with respect to the crooners, opera singers, vaudevillians and his golden throated peers who came before him and since; there’s only one Bill Medley.
With the death of Hatfield, The Righteous Brothers faced uncertainty but Medley is driven; driven by the desire to perform, to continue binging decades of classic hits to audiences both new and old despite his own successful career away from the group. When asked about adding a new personality to this iconic sound and unit; he lauds the decision to do so while quickly pointing to the past.
“On stage, Bucky will be singing something or we will be doing something together that Bobby and I used to do and Bobby will come to mind but I’m always amazed that we are doing it so well,” he said with a large laugh “But it really feels like The Righteous Brothers singing and yeah, I think about Bobby all of the time both on stage and off stage. He obviously was a big part of my life and we went into a lot of wars together and came out of them and that creates quite a bond.”

“When on stage, we do all of the hits and have a lot of fun doing it, we kind of let the audience in,” he continued. “I’ve always felt that the audience is our partner. When you go on stage the audience is really your partner; we do all of the hits and have a great time and Bucky Heard is just an incredible singer and an incredible guy who has just become a really good friend even though we were friends for about five years before we got together. He is just great; first off you can’t replace Bobby Hatfield and that’s a tough position to be in and I’ve always told him, I don’t want you to sound like Bobby, I want you to sing like Bobby. He was a big Bobby Hatfield fan anyway so, it was very natural and easy and it just went together so easy and so well; he’s a great partner and a great singer.”
When attending a Righteous Brothers performance there may be a few surprises in store every now and again for their band; yes, their band. Unlike many acts these days, The Righteous Brothers employ their own musicians.
“Our shows last anywhere from an hour and fifteen to an hour and a half, that’s usually what they want for the theaters and that’s plenty and gets it all done but if we start horsing around and start taking requests it can drag on,” he laughed once again. “Once in a while people will yell out a song we haven’t done and we say, OK, we’ll try it. I guess it works out OK but not as good as if we had rehearsed it with the band (laughs). We carry our own band; two horns, two female singers, a rhythm section and there are actually six people who sing in the band and we carry our own sound man; we want it to be as right as it can be.”
Becoming “Righteous” wasn’t always the same experience for everyone. Some of us discovered their talents with “Unchained Melody” and others because they “Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” and still others who believed in “Forever” and a “Rock And Roll Heaven” but according to Bill when what was old became new again on the big screen; so did they.
“Oh yeah, it definitely revitalized The Righteous Brothers career,” he said emphatically when asked about the affect Hollywood had on their career. “You Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” was in “Top Gun” and the next year I did “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” for “Dirty Dancing” and then “Unchained Melody” was in “Ghost.” So, it was like having three huge hit records right in a row at the end of the ‘80s and we were back bigger than we were before. Movies make such a huge impression on songs; whether in the movies or on TV. “Unchained Melody” was a hit in the ‘60s and then they put it in the movie and it just became bigger than life; it became a huge song and a huge record.”
Every entertainer or artistic creative has a “Watershed” moment; a moment where they realize they are destined to share their talent no matter how big or small. Medley is no different because before you make it big you have to make it happen. Bill recalls his “Moment;” as if it was yesterday.
“When I was 15 in 1955, I heard Little Richard and it just changed my whole thought process of music; it was like the first real rock ‘n’ roll I had heard. A couple of years later, I went to a Ray Charles concert and it just blew me away and knocked me out. I can remember coming away from that concert and thinking, man, somehow or someway I need to do that; if I could do that, that would be incredible. Not like Ray Charles (laughs) because I couldn’t do that but I think that one concert was my watershed moment of, yeah, I’ve got to do this. It’s interesting, it’s really a shot of adrenaline or something that goes through you where you go, wow! It really overtakes your thinking and your emotions; I think probably everybody in the business has had a watershed experience.”
Oh, about that aforementioned most recognizable voice, he chuckled at the thought and offered some sound advice for others in the business.
“Wow, well, I don’t know, I guess I can blame it on bad sinuses (laughs). I get asked all of the time; does someone else in your family sing like you? The truth is, none of them do. My mom was a singer, my brother can sing but nobody has this baritone voice. I’m just blessed with it, I don’t pay much attention to it, I don’t really want to know (laughs). I’ve always said, listen man, once you figure out why you are successful then it is time to quit the business and if you don’t get nervous going on stage; you might as well stay home.”
The Righteous Brothers appear at the State Theatre on February 19 at 8 p.m. and ticket sales are swift. The night before on February 18 they are just outside of Philadelphia, PA at Parx Casino with another 8 p.m. show. The doors at Parx open at 7 p.m. and it is ages 21 and older to attend.
