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."
I think that's Michael MacDonald. Either way, it sucks.
All I can say about Bolton and Taylor is "Mommy make the bad men stop!"
"Draining the Soul" perfectly describes what these 2 do to their frightful rendition of the classics. I think of Joe Piscopo doing his lounge act on SNL...and Bill Murray singing "Star wars - gimme those star wars"
