Kauffman Center Presented The Righteous Brothers on Its Farewell Tour

Legendary singer Bill Medley took his Righteous Brothers show with Bucky Heard to Muriel Kauffman Theatre inside of Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Kansas City, MO on September 14, 2024. Entitled the “Lovin’ Feelin’ Farewell Tour,” Medley is set to retire and conclude the revival of the duo—in honor of his long-time friend and partner, Bobby Hatfield—that he started back in 2016. Medley and Heard treated fans to all of those emblematic tunes that The Righteous Brothers gave us throughout the ’60s and ’70s. In 1987, Bill Medley released an ever-iconic duet with Jennifer Warnes, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” from the motion picture soundtrack of “Dirty Dancing”—a huge staple film of the decade. Fans were over the moon as he shared it live alongside his daughter, McKenna. Also appearing on stage with him were Tim Lee (keyboards), Jess Gopen (drums), Russ Letizia (guitar), Aja Wilson (bass), Mark Tragesser (tenor sax) and Andy Ray (trumpet).
