He and his musical partner  the late inimitable Bobby Hatfield  formed the Righteous Brothers in 1963 and forever changed the sound of popular music. The term \"blue-eyed soul\" was born.  After the Phil Spector-produced \"Youve Lost That Lovin Feelin\" hit #1 in 1964 and Bobby Hatfields sweeping solo vocal turn on \"Unchained Melody\" enchanted millions  the Righteous Brothers found themselves in the thick of the musical and cultural changes sweeping the nation. They toured with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones  became friends with Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys  and brought rhythm and blues to the largest cross-over audience it had reached to date.  The Time of My Life is an affecting and vivid memoir of those times and beyond  an unvarnished look at Bill Medleys personal triumphs and tragedies through the filter of five decades of musical  television  motion picture  and live-performance success. Medley opens his head and his heart  sharing his thoughts and feelings about the great African-American music that inspired him  his loving yet tumultuous and complicated relationship with Bobby Hatfield  the murder of his first wife Karen and his struggle to raise their son alone  his close friendship with Elvis and its sad ending  his deep depression over losing his voice (and how he got it back)  his smash duet with Jennifer Warnes on \"(Ive Had) the Time of My Life\" for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack  and how he learned to settle down and become a family man and enjoy a nearly thirty-year (and counting) marriage.  But Medleys story isnt just about the #1 hits and the awards. Its the story of an immensely talented young guy who lived the rock star life and reached the pinnacle of fame  success  and excess  and how he was eventually able to renew his commitment to both his faith and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944938598453,"sku":"ByrdShop_0306823160","price":28.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780306823169.jpg?v=1769862213","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-time-of-my-life-a-righteous-brothers-memoir","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
