Your Heart To Mine: Dedicated To The Blues

Bill Medley is a seminal figure in the history of American music. He is perhaps best known as half of the unmistakable duo, the Righteous Brothers. Their partnership lasted four decades, though Medley explored his solo options apart from the duo on occasion. He went on his own in the late-'60s for six years. In 1974 the duo reunited and resumed their hit-making ways with the prophetic ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN. In the seventies, their live shows continued to attract fans and gained the respect of a new generation of listeners. In 1987, Medley scored a monumental hit with another duettist, Jennifer Warnes, on '(I've Had) the Time of My Life, ' for the film DIRTY DANCING. #on March 10, 2003, the Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The induction came just months before Bobby Hatfield's unexpected death. Medley not only lost his singing partner, he had lost a close friend whom he'd known since his late-teens. After a period of mourning, Medley made the decision to continue touring as a solo artist. YOUR HEART TO MINE - DEDICATED TO THE BLUES is a CD dedicated to all the great R&B singers of the 50's who gave Bill Medley his inspiration. This CD includes songs by Ray Charles, Jerry Butler, Etta James, Sam Cooke, and several others. This also includes Bill's new original release 'This Will Be the Last Time'.
