Performer: Michael Bolton
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: This 32-track, two-disc set provides a comprehensive overview of adult-contemporary vocalist Michael Bolton's career. Stretching back to 1980s hits like "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" and his cover of Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," the compilation follows his trajectory to superstar status in the early '90s, presenting both original songs and his dramatic interpretations of soul classics. Devoted fans will likely have most of this material on the studio albums or previous compilations, but ESSENTIAL also extends into the late '90s and early 2000s, covering both hits and choice album tracks from that era. The result is a well-packaged and wide-reaching Bolton sampler, ideal as an introduction or for casual fans looking for a one-stop purchase.
Making women swoon with his good looks and soulful voice, Bolton was a major pop star in the 1980s and '90s, winning Grammys and selling millions of records. In the '70s, Bolton was the singer for the hard rock band Blackjack, which also featured future members of Kiss and the Pat Travers Band, but he didn't break through until going solo. His outsized pop versions of soul hits like "Dock of the Bay" scored big with boomers and youngsters alike.
