Medley met his singing partner Bobby Hatfield while attending California State University, Long Beach. The pair began singing as a duo in 1962. Their first single was "Little Latin Lupe Lu"; their first hit was "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", produced by Phil Spector in 1964. Follow-up hits included "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" and "Unchained Melody".
The duo broke up in 1968, but returned with another hit in 1974, "Rock And Roll Heaven", and they continued to appear together until Hatfield's death in November 2003. The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003 by one of their biggest fans, Billy Joel.
Medley also had a moderately successful solo career. In 1987 his duet with Jennifer Warnes, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", was included on the Dirty Dancing motion picture soundtrack album and the single reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won a 1988 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Beautiful
Bill Medley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like sunshine on the water
You made my world a better place to be
And where ever I may go
On this crazy road called life
I'll always keep a piece of you with me
(Chorus)
Beautiful
Angels before wings
Who touched my soul
And forever will
Make my dreams more beautiful
It wasn't always perfect
But my love was, was always true
And what we made will echo through the years
And the hope of edens comfort
Fills my each tomorrow
Somehow I found a rainbow in my tears
(Chorus)
Beautiful
Beautiful
Angels before wings
Who touched my soul
And forever will
Make my dreams more beautiful
(Solo)
(Half Chorus)
Yes who touched my soul
And forever will
Make my dreams more beautiful
La, la, la, hmm
