<div>From an early age, Bill Medley had a passion for music. School glee club and amateur singing contests soon gave way to the albums of Ray Charles and Little Richard. That raw R&B influence would profoundly shape Medley's musical future. As the pioneering "blue-eyed soul" group the Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley and late partner Bobby Hatfield sang such huge hits as "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," "Unchained Melody," and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," the latter recognized by BMI as the most-played song of the twentieth century. Medley's duet with Jennifer Warnes for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," became a worldwide No. 1 single on its way to winning an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe. But Medley's story isn't just about the hits and the awards. It's about an immensely talented man who reached the pinnacle of fame, success, and excess, until the shocking murder of his wife, Karen. In time, this tragedy eventually helped him renew his commitment to both faith and family.</div>

The Time of My Life: A Righteous Brother's Memoir

Bill Medley

Da Capo Press

This is a short, pithy exploration of the world's major religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. What do they claim, and how their claims can be assessed? What can a reasonable layman learn about a "God" or an "afterlife"? A professional comedian, Medley delights in phrases such as "Raiders of the Lost Archaeology" and "The Dead Sea Scrolls - you ain't Essene nothing yet." The witty style and word-plays mask a serious intent. While he had once considered that "religion is for fools", Bill Medley came to believe that the Christian faith alone offers the answers he was seeking. In a series of provocative appendices he takes a shrewd glance at the Bible's authority, cults, the role of women, hell, the unsaved, and suffering.
