Bill Medley is an American singer and songwriter who has a net worth of $60 million dollars. Bill Medley was born Williams Thomas Medley in Los Angeles, California in September 1940. He is best known for being one half of The Righteous Brothers. Bill met Bobby Hatfield at California State University, Long Beach. The pair performed as part of the group The Paramours. They started singing together as The Righteous Brothers in 1962. They recorded from 1963 to 1975.
The Righteous Brothers’ best known hit is probably “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin”. According to BMI, the song has been broadcast over 20 million times, making it the most played radio song of the 20th century. Their single “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration” was certified Gold and hit #1 in the United States in 1966. Bobby is also notable for his 1965 version of “Unchained Melody” which he performed solo, but is credited and was released as a Righteous Brothers song. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame by Billy Joel in March 2003. The pair performed together regularly until Hatfield passed away in November 2003. Hatfield actually died at a Radisson Hotel Kalamazoo, Michigan hours before a scheduled Righteous Brothers concert.
Bill Medley has also released 14 solo studio albums. His song “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” with Jennifer Warnes from the movie Dirty Dancing won the pair a Grammy Award in 1998. He authored the book The Time of My Life: A Righteous Brother’s Memoir and continues to perform around the world to this day.
The Righteous Brothers’ music received unusually large boosts thanks to appearances in some classic films. In two cases, their songs became intricately connected to the movies. “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” was a centerpiece in the 1986 movie “Top Gun” and “Unchained Melody” was featured prominently in the 1990 movie “Ghost”.
