With the passing of Hatfield and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2003, Medley could've easily rested on his laurels but instead, he chose to honor his late partner and continue the duo's "Legacy." So, after taking some time off, Medley recruited the talents of Bucky Heard and the two, along with their band have been thrilling audiences of all ages ever since.
"We've been together for 11 years and we're having a great time," he said with enthusiasm. "We put together a band in Las Vegas and it's pretty much the same guys; we've had a couple of people change but it's pretty much the same band. We do anywhere from an hour and 15 minutes to an hour-and-a-half; it all depends on the audience really, if they're having a good time we're having a good time. So, most of the time, we are on for an hour-and-a-half and we do all the hits. We do all the songs, we know why they are there so we do them and we love doing them. Sometimes I think that some of these cover bands that I go see, they're about as good as the original guys and you know you're gonna hear all the hits because that's what they do. I can remember when I was young, I'd go see the acts that I loved and they wouldn't do their hits or only do a couple of them because they were always pushing their new stuff and yeah, it was a little disappointing."
When asked what it feels like to look out from the stage and see generations of fans, parents, grandparents, grandchildren and 20-somethings knowing that some of their songs are far older than an ever growing younger fan base, Medley is thrilled but like many, thinks that the state of music itself in this day and age may be part of the reason.
"Absolutely right, it's just wonderful to see younger people in the audience digging it and liking it," he quickly agreed. "Listen, it's great when anybody likes your music (Laughs) but it's really interesting and wonderful for younger people to love this music because music has changed so much over the last 20 years. So, we feel really honored when the younger generation likes us. It's very interesting because I don't know what they're gonna be dancing to or having sung at their weddings or graduations; they're not putting out that kind of music today and the younger generation are saying, wait a minute, THAT was music and what I'm listening to today; people always want to be touched, myself included. When you hear music, you want to be taken back in your mind about a great time or when some girl broke your heart (Laughs) or whatever and I just don't see a lot of that today."
One might think with all of their experiences and accolades that picking a standout memory would be difficult and although he momentarily hesitated, Medley fondly recalled something from early on in Righteous Brothers lore.
"I think it was in '66, Bobby and I opened for Jack Benny (Laughs) and we got to do like a 20 minute monologue with Jack Benny and we just loved it. The Righteous Brothers were just a couple of years ahead of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. So, we kind of came up enjoying and loving that era. We were huge fans of Jack Benny, Martin and Lewis and that whole bunch. So, I think working with Jack Benny in '66 probably was our biggest thing, probably because we were pretty young and it was kind of an out of body experience being on stage with somebody you idolized and it was great."

A Massachusetts native mentored by legendary drummers Alan Dawson, Arthur Taylor, and Jimmy Lovelace, Farnsworth has appeared on nearly 400 recordings and performed with an astonishing array of jazz masters, including McCoy Tyner, Benny Golson, Pharoah Sanders, Cedar Walton, Harold Mabern, and Wynton Marsalis. He is also a founding member of the acclaimed hard bop collective, One for All, alongside longtime musical associates tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, trombonist Steve Davis, the late trumpeter Jim Rotondi, and pianist David Hazeltine.
