Don't pay attention to the previous reviews. With the exception of very few tracks such as "I've Had The Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, and the Rambo soundtrack version of "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother," this compilation is full of re-recorded hits, not good ones at that. Even the classic "Brown Eyed Woman" is a poor re-recording on here while the original is on Rhino's 2 CD set on the Righteous Brothers. Curb does so many shoddy compilations that in the words of a chat partner of mine online, Mike Curb should be gone.

Bill Medley is one of the few white singers who's able to sing rock as well as R&B and who can really sound black. His versions of "He ain't heavy he's my Brother" as well as those of "Bridge over troubled water" and "Don't you love me anymore" (on other CD)are excellent, stronger than the originals and than other covers. It would be great if he records a duet with Ronnie Spector, they both have that powerful sense of rock'n'roll that many people are claiming to listen again.

We, also have seen Bill Medley & Righteous Brothers in concert many times. He is so personable with his audience. We always are in the front row in Vegas & Laughlin. I enjoy watching him perform & he is great to look at

Met Bill and Bobby at the Rondevoux Ballroom in the early 60's and their
music will always be in my memories. Bill was a cool guy and was very approachable. I also used to frequent Medley's Club in O.C. not to mention Harmony Park. Great music, Great gentleman!

I listened to the entire CD and I'm left wondering why I even bought it? It's definitely not one of my favorites.

While I do not agree that these are the best Bill Medley has to offer, they are representative of the huge range of possibilities and talent he possesses. This is definitely one for the collection of every Bill Medley fan.

I have attended many of his concerts and enjoyed everyone of them. This CD is a continuation of his performances. Mr. Medley's music is timeless. Thank you for continuing to let us enjoy your music.

I have had the opportunity to see The Righteous Brothers and Bill medley in concert many times. I was thrilled when Bill came out with a solo CD. He does a terrific job with Brown eyed woman.He still has alot more to offer.I hear he's coming out with a new solo album at the end of the year.
