As one of the greatest rhythm and blues singers of all time, Bill Medley has served as inspiration to so many vocalists. With the monster success of the Righteous Brothers’ hit “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” Bill broke through the color barrier and ushered in a new era of “blue-eyed soul.” He has recently fulfilled a life long dream with the release of his latest record “Your Heart To Mine,” a blues album dedicated to all the greats that have inspired him throughout his career.
Surrounded by a host of talented musicians, Bill covers some of the very best with his own unique arrangements of these classic tunes. Bill is at home with the almost gospel feel of “Drown In My Own Tears,” a song made famous by Ray Charles and the elegant “For Your Precious Love,” a Jerry Butler and the Impressions tune. Medley can also grind it out with the sexy groove of “I Just Want To Make Love To You” and B.B. King’s “Rock Me Baby.” Closing out the album is a Bill Medley original, “This Will Be The Last Time,” a piano ballad that allows Bill’s vocals to envelop you and proves he is worthy of the company he keeps on this record.
You don’t just listen to the blues, you feel the blues and “Your Heart To Mine” allows you to experience exactly that.
