TIME, LOVE AND TENDERNESS is Michael Bolton's most successful album, and understandably so. It's full of effective power ballads and such '60s-soul pastiche as the title song and "Love is a Wonderful Thing." Bolton seizes each song and effectively wrestles it to the ground, sweaty and panting.
Kenny G contributes a typically oily sax solo to the smash hit "Missing You Now." Best of all, Patti LaBelle guest stars on "We're Not Makin' Love Anymore"-easily the most thrilling celebrity duet celebration of a deteriorating relationship since Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand collaborated on "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." LaBelle and Bolton each give the song their all, and the result is a bit like watching Eric Roberts' attempt to steal scenes from Jon Voigt in "Runaway Train."
