WILMINGTON — The Wilson Center at Cape Fear Community College has announced the return of The Righteous Brothers on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 7:30 p.m as part of the duo’s Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour.
Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts for four decades with a string of chart-topping classics, including “Unchained Melody,” “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin,” one of the most played songs in radio history.
Medley has been entertaining audiences for more than sixty years. His bass-baritone helped earn The Righteous Brothers their place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He’s won a GRAMMY award, an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and an American Music Award.
The Righteous Brothers’ Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour will span the duo’s catalogue spanning the early days of rock and roll, the era of Blue-Eyed Soul, all the way to Medley’s contribution to the 1980s classic “Dirty Dancing” with “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.”
After Hatfield’s death in 2003, Medley continued to perform to sold-out crowds worldwide before Bucky Heard joined The Righteous Brothers.
“When Bobby died, a part of me knew I’d feel that hole in my heart forever,” said Bill. “I thought the Righteous Brothers were over. But it wasn’t until I heard Bucky Heard ten years later that I realized I wasn’t ready to give up what Bobby and I created together.”
Heard is an Alabama native and Auburn University alum. He’s been one of America’s most popular and versatile performers for several years, headlining countless shows in major venues.
