I felt the same way listening to Michael Bolton massacring "My Girl" and "Sittin at the Dock of the Bay".

What a travesty!

LOL. That reminds me. I seem to remember reading that Otis Redding's wife liked Bolton's rendition. I thought "he must be paying her".

You have hit on one of my visceral grievances. You could throw in his version (I think it's him) of the Four Tops "Reach Out, I'll Be There" for good measure, or bad measure if you prefer. Musical sacrilige, and people will hear that and think it's the real thing. And I won't even start in on James Taylor draining the soul from "How Sweet It Is."
