MICHAEL BOLTON "soul provider" cd,1989.

yeah i know....cringeworthy Bolton!
i used to like this when it first came out, dont like it as much now though.
Michael Bolton, the piano rock/pop balladeer, probably more famous for his mop of hair than anything else nowadays, but he did have five US hits on here...surprised that the woeful rendition of Ray's "georgia on my mind" actually made the pop charts in the US though(#36)...terrible IMO, takes a lot to come anywhere near Ray and Willie's versions IMO.
MB recieved a Grammy for best male vocal performance on "how am i supposed to live without you"...my favourite one here, which incidently was originally a Laura Brannigan song, remember her?, i doubt it, she only had one hit outside of the US in "gloria", then she dissapeared to perform in South Africa against an international embargo against the aparthied regime there, and was never heard of again in the western world on radio...
half the album recieves a 'do not like' score for me, but that is purely the songs, not his voice...i like his voice a lot, just his songs that seem to put me off them.
