Michael Bolton - Greatest Hits 1985-1995

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Known for a terrifying rendition of Otis Redding's hit "(Sittin' On The) Dock of the Bay" (among others), Michael Bolton tears up every classic soul tune he can get his hands on. Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" take on completely new meanings in the hands of this former hard rock singer. This 2 CD, 17-cut retrospective includes all the songs that catapulted him to mega-stardom and plenty of others that show him as just another sincere fool for love ("I Promise You" and "I Found Someone"). Just as Meatloaf turned up the juice on the histrionics of Bruce Springsteen, Bolton takes the soul singer out of the smoky nightclub and into the hockey arena for the whole world to hear. --Rob O'Connor

3 out of 5 stars My Mistake.......2007-07-06

I never really heard Michael Bolton before and though I give it a chance.
Sorry, but none of the songs are original and he adds nothing to the old mix or creating trying a new one.

3 out of 5 stars Good Cd.......2007-01-30

I bought this cd for my dad. From what I heard, it's pretty ok...

5 out of 5 stars My favorite CD.......2006-10-08

I have a gazillion CD's but this one is my absolute favorite. I hate loud music but when I put this on I crank it up, can't get enough of it. No one can come close to the power and soul in Michael's voice. I am a professional singer myself and am a pretty good judge of vocal ability. I strongly recommend this recording.

5 out of 5 stars Puttin' the GREATEST back in Greatest Hits.......2006-09-29

This album is a must-have for any Michael Bolton fan. The essence of his amazing abilities are captured in this compilation. Although I find it strange that the album is called "Greatest Hits 1985-1995," yet there aren't any songs from 1985. Hmmmm....

Simply an awesome album. Thank you, Michael Bolton.

5 out of 5 stars Five stars is not enough for Michael Bolton.......2006-05-17

Please tell the Amazon.com review writers that five star is excellent and a single star is terribly poor performance. So that when they write glowing reviews they will use the right stars to represent what they have to say. They gave the man an overall score of less than five stars for goodness sake. However, when you read what they have to say, they are swooning and drooling like lovesick puppy dogs over the man's songs. Although I do understand the swooning and drooling - Michael Bolton does that to you. So do the review right or do not write at all.
