5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for the Boltheads,
If you enjoy his music, this album is great for the collection. “To Love Somebody” was the highlight of the album, and his rendition of “Drift Away” was magnificent. And all in between was great. Great for Boltheads.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Michael Bolton sings a song, it`s TIMELESS!,
What a fantastic album! Michael Bolton`s voice is as gorgeous as the timeless songs he is singing. He has given fresh new lives to these songs.
“To Love Somebody”, “Knock On Wood”, “Bring It On Home To Me” are favorites of mine, but I love the others songs as well. A perfect choice for a wonderful singer!
This album is truly a classic and no one sings with more emotion than Michael Bolton!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Classic Michael,
When I first heard of this album, I imagined it would be a greatest hits collection. But its actually a collection of covers for Michael Bolton. Michael goes easy listening with SINCE I FELL FOR YOU and Paul McCartney’s classic YESTERDAY. Michael goes soul with HOLD ON I’M COMING and REACH OUT(I’LL BE THERE),with Michael receiving moral support from the Four Tops on the latter song which they originally recorded. Michael scored a hit with the Bee Gees’ composition TO LOVE SOMEBODY. YOU SEND ME,BRING IT ON HOME TO ME,DRIFT AWAY and KNOCK ON WOOD are full of soul also. Michael pays a tribute to the late Irving Berlin with his Christmas classic WHITE CHRISTMAS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance at Home,
This album is a favorite at our house. We like to make dinner, break out a bottle of wine, light the candles, and listen to this album with the volume up. All the songs are familiar old favorites and Bolton’s voice is rich.
