And they all become hits--the proof is on GREATEST HITS 1985-1995.
It was Bolton's renditions of soul classics that first gained him an audience.

Among the latter is the remake of Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne's "A Love So Beautiful," a sweeping ballad on which Bolton pays homage to Orbison's unique tenor. Among the former are "When I'm Back On My Feet Again," "Time, Love And Tenderness" and "The River"--all by Diane Warren, all modern-day epics of the heart that place the fleeting, indescribable moments of ...
