Classic Album Review: Michael Bolton | Timeless: The Classics Vol. 2

Somebody, please, stop him before he records again.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


If The Isley Brothers could sue Michael Bolton for ripping off Love Is A Wonderful Thing, why can’t Al Green, Bob Dylan and Procol Harum sue him for forever tainting their masterworks — specifically and respectively, Let’s Stay Together, Like A Rolling Stone and Whiter Shade Of Pale — by covering them on this unlistenable wad of shopping-mall muzak?

I would be happy to testify for the plaintiffs. In fact, I may launch my own lawsuit: Ever since I accidentally listened to him molest Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing, I have been nauseated and can’t stop shuddering. Somebody, please, stop him before he records again.
