Michael Bolton - Greatest Hits 1985 - 1995 Review

I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true

So tell me all about it
Tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I suppose to live without you?
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I suppose to live without you?
And how am I suppose to carry on?
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
(Some lyrics How Am I Supposed To Live Without You)

Conclusion

Do you know Michael Bolton? I knew him firstly when he sang How Am I Supposed to Live Without You and also i declare in my heart and my mind this is the best song of his till now. this song can feel all taste. The second song that impress me is Said I Loved You...But I Lied a lot of memory with this song. The video clip also good.

Missing You Now also this song is fresh me, and i like it. But for song When a Man Loves a Woman this song is very nice, easy to singit but quick to make me bored. And from new album Michael Bolton Greatest Hits Album, i like or impress only with song A Love So Beautiful this song is very nice to hear and can sing with easy (if me).

I bought this album in cassete on years 1996 when still teenagers. There a some tracks that good but some are boring. With having this album you can get all the best song of Michael Bolton. But there are minus point of this album, there is no song To Love Somebody that very famous in 1992, but it's okey. So i give score for this album is 4/5.
