Michael Bolton / All That Matters

Michael Bolton released good blue-eyed soul album in 1997, which was the first studio album since the album “The One Thing” released in 1993. On this album, Bolton was supported by many black contemporary talented musicians such as Babyface, Tony Rich and Barry J. Eastmond. As the result, some kind of brand-new another Michael Bolton's world was there with full of Bolton’s emotional and soulful vocals. Commercially, the album was not successful very much.
