"Time, Love And Tenderness"
Michael Bolton makes his 2nd appearance on our site this week. (His first
appearance here was in 1998 --
Soul Provider.)
His 1991 release, Time, Love And Tenderness was in his heyday, when
he was very popular on the hit singles list, a "stud muffin" to the ladies,
and he had lots of hair. This album would include his last #1 hit on the
pop charts: A remake of the classic Percy Sledge tune (which Sledge himself
took to #1 in 1966), "When A Man Loves A Woman."
Along with his #1 hit, there were other popular songs from this album,
that were ranked highly on the hit singles chart, likewise Adult Contemporary
radio stations: "Love Is A Wonderful Thing" was rising high on the
chart, as I remember listening to the weekly countdown show, American Top
40, which was hosted by Shadoe Stevens. In fact, this song was on the
May 12, 1991 radio broadcast, reviewed on our site, the week of
January, 2002. "Time, Love And Tenderness was another popular hit
as well.
As I listen to "Missing You Now," I can't help but recognize the
famous soprano sax solos of Kenny G. Merging both Bolton and Kenny G together
was obviously a woman's dream, having two of the most popular love-song artists
together. "Forever Isn't Long Enough" is another crooning love song,
yet "Missing You Now" has more potential, being with Kenny G, and having
a more relaxing love song atmosphere.
"Now That I Found You" is a "mood setting" love song, where songs
such as this one, can easily flutter the ladies hearts. Which we can say the
same for the next 3 songs: The #1 remake "When A Man Loves A Woman,"
"We're Not Makin' Love Anymore" (a duet with Patti LaBelle), and "New
Love." "Save Me" has the Bolton upbeat pop sound, and the album's closing
tune, "Steel Bars" is another upbeat pop ditto.
For the Adult Contemporary fan and those who enjoy romantic love-songs,
Michael Bolton's Time, Love And Tenderness' album title is a good
description: Taking the Time, there are plenty of Love songs
for all, and each song is recorded with enough Tenderness
to make the album as a whole a good one, for those who enjoy this kind of
music.
