A few months later, Medley's lifelong friend and co-founder of the group, Bobby Hatfield, passed away suddenly while they were on tour. Bill Medley has also had a successful solo career and an unparalleled knack for timeless music. In 1984 and 1985, he charted 5 singles on the country charts with the biggest of these being the Top 20 country hit, "I Still Do". In 1987 his duet with Jennifer Warnes, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life", was included on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack album and the single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won a 1988 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Among his other notable songs are "Most of All You", the closing theme to the movie Major League; "Friday Night's A Great Night For Football" from Tony Scott's movie, The Last Boy Scout; and the theme song for the Growing Pains spinoff, Just The Ten of Us. Medley also recorded two songs for the soundtrack of the 1988 Sylvester Stallone movie Rambo III, which were "It Is Our Destiny" and a cover of The Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother". Only the latter made it into the movie.
