Medley was born Los Angeles, California. He 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 “Ebb Tide”, “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration” and “Unchained Melody”.

The duo broke up in 1968, but Bill’s career didn’t end. He continued singing his hit songs with Virgil Beckham singing Bobby Hatfield’s part. Some fans of the Righteous Brother’s liked this better because Virgil Beckham is more of an all out, soulful singer while also playing lead guitar for the band. Bill 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 1968, he released “Peace, Brother, Peace” and “Brown Eyed Woman” both of which were Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also released several solo albums during the 1970s and 1980s.

Medley was tapped to do vocals for the 1973 film Emperor of the North, having recorded to Frank De Vol’s score.
