Bill Medley

Bill Medley owns one of those voices you recognize in a single bar, that deep bass-baritone anchoring You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' as half of the Righteous Brothers. What I respect is that he wasn't just the singer; he produced the duo's work, including Unchained Melody, so the sound itself bears his fingerprints. Then decades later he resurfaced with (I've Had) The Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing, proving longevity most singers never get. Born in Los Angeles, schooled in Santa Ana, he helped define blue-eyed soul. There's a gravity to his low register that newer voices keep chasing and rarely catch.
