Rate Your Music score: 2.62 out of 5!
I didn't set out to do a blog full of adult contemporary ballads, but when a performer strongly resembles your high school principal, you just can't help it.
Bill Medley is best known as a member of the Righteous Brothers and for his chart-topping duet with Jennifer Warnes "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life." I heard "Right Here And Now" on the radio quite a bit back in 1982, but it was 5 years later when Bill and Jennifer's duet was a hit that Bill's resemblance to my principal was first noted.
I started high school right when "The Time Of My Life" came out. What great timing! One day, we were watching TV at home, and that video came on. A family member noted that Bill looked quite a bit like the headmaster of my school. All he needed was a pair of tinted eyeglasses.
Incidentally, my principal was a titanically incompetent clown, and was one of the worst people I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. I was forced to put up with him for almost 3 years.
Because Bill Medley looked like my principal, this blog wouldn't be complete without him. But I damn sure wasn't going to include "The Time Of My Life", because after all, this blog is for lost hits. If you don't understand why "The Time Of My Life" doesn't belong on a lost hits blog, ask an adult.
