Description: BILL MEDLEY: “This is one of the most unbelievable interviews I’ve ever done in my life, and I appreciate it, and I thank you—I can retire now.  It’s been an honor, it’s been a lot of fun. You’ve asked me a lot of questions that I’ve never been asked before, and probably brought more out of me than I wanted to give--or should give--but hey, it is what it is, and I love you for it.”   Here’s just some of the many things Bill and I touch on in this podcast:    An in-depth discussion about their plan to have Phil Spector produce only the singles, while—believe it or not—Bill himself produced absolutely everything else; How they dealt with a management proposal from Brian Epstein after leaving The Beatles tour; A tremendous kitchen-sink-deep-dive into “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’”; The Righteous Brothers song that we share as our all-time favorite;  And an explicitly candid conversation about the damage Phil Spector did to the Brothers’ relationship.   Listen: https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠   I support a wife and a five-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.    If you’re a Righteous Brothers superfan like me, you’ll want THE DIRECTOR’S CUT of this episode.
