The Time of My Life by Bill Medley

The Time of My Life by Bill Medley

The unforgettable memoir by one of the most recognizable voices in popular music, Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers

"Bill Medley's voice resonates to this day--and his journey through life explains the depth and soul inherent in that voice"--Billy Joel "I thought I knew Bill Medley, and then I read his book The Time of My Life and realized I knew the singer but I didn't really know the man. If you liked him before you read this book, you will love him after. It is a great read about a special man."--Kenny Rogers "Bill Medley writes as he sings--with a heart full of soul and inspiration."--Paul Shaffer Mojo, April 2014 "[A] likeably conversational, anecdotal read." Blogcritics.org, 4/9/2014 "A fast-paced read...Like other such memoirs, it should deepen reader's appreciation for the creation of some of their favorite songs." Cleveland Music Examiner, 4/8/14 "In his new autobiography, The Time of My Life, singer Bill Medley comes across as an affable, down-to-earth fellow. The kind of guy you'd want to write a song with, have a beer with, and call neighbor." My Big Honkin Blog, 4/27/14 "[Medley] delivers on one of the things I love the most about these kind of bios, unique insights and stories from offstage and behind the scenes...While Medley details the ups and downs inherent in any music career, he avoids the formulaic Behind the Music roller coaster and focuses more on the positive. This is a great read for fans of the Righteous Brothers or any music fan." Bookviews Blog, May 2014 "Fans of their music will thoroughly enjoy [Medley's] account of growing up as the son of musicians in Orange County, California, where he recorded his first solo songs on two tape recorders in his living room." RockCellarMagazine, 5/6/14 "A fascinating read." Record Collector, June 2014 "A righteously good read...[A] page-turner of an autobiography written...in a relaxed, conversational style...The singer is open, honest and genuinely engaging." Buffalo News, 5/25/14 "Medley tells about it all--the good times and bad--in a fast-moving, at times very emotional memoir that pulls back the curtain to offer some interesting insights into the world of recorded music."

Bill Medley, along with the other half of the Righteous Brothers, Bobby Hatfield, has recorded such hits as "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration," "Unchained Melody," and "Rock and Roll Heaven." His worldwide #1 hit, "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," with Jennifer Warnes, earned him a Grammy, a Golden Globe, an American Music Award, an Academy Award, and Video of the Year honors. In 2003, Medley and Hatfield were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Billy Joel, and he continues to tour and perform to sold-out audiences everywhere. He lives in Southern California with his wife Paula. Mike Marino is an author, speaker, and musician. He was a member of several popular music groups including the McCoys, famous for their #1 hit "Hang on Sloopy." He lives in Orange County, California.
