The Righteous Brothers Come To Van Wezel
The Righteous Brothers bring the "lovin' feelin'" back to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Tuesday, January 15 at 8 p.m. Bill Medley's signature baritone voice has earned him a Grammy, Golden Globe and an Oscar Award. Bill also recorded the chart-topping duet with Jennifer Warnes, "The Time of My Life," for the movie Dirty Dancing, which went on to sell over 32 million copies worldwide. Bucky Heard joins Bill Medley for a concert experience featuring the biggest hits: "Soul & Inspiration," "Unchained Melody," "Rock and Roll Heaven" and many more!
The original blue-eyed soul pioneers, Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, opened for The Beatles and The Rolling Stones on their first US tours and took the industry by storm with the most played song in radio history, "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'." Shortly before Bobby's passing, the duo was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Billy Joel, accompanied by a glowing 7-minute speech.
Following Bobby's death in 2003, Bill Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds around the world, but fans urged him to keep the Righteous Brothers tradition alive. Amazed by one of his live performances, Bill Medley asked Bucky Heard to join him for a Righteous Brothers tour. Headlining countless shows across the country, Heard has solidified his reputation as a gutsy rock and roll singer with an incredible vocal range. He has shared the concert stage with legends including Andy Williams and Glen Campbell.
