Show Notes
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.
