This guy is such a class act. His voice is off the charts! His Opera performances, Rock performances, sense of humor, all of it, incredible! He (like Lou Gramm) set the bar so high. Both voices are characterized by that "extra gear" of intense high notes and such challenging tessitura. At 65, he can still pump it out.
Please, more Michael Bolton!! He's a gentleman with a Heavy Metal Soul and a unique Black Voice. I miss his Old Times singing Rock Songs but he can sing everything ♥... You're awesome Ken! 🏆
ikr! not many ppl know about his rock era or the fact he sings opera so well. he is truly versatile. I wish he wouldn't have been so boxed into pop, which was great but he can do so much more
He was a Client of ours when I worked for a Major Law Firm in NYC and I was given tickets to see him live where he Serenaded a friend of mine and I with this song!!! (He had the LONG Hair and NO "Bodyguards" with him then) I'll NEVER forget it!!!
Ken...at 3:30 you and Bolton hit the tightest harmonies! The best part is, you just jumped in to sing along with the melody and Bolton goes into his upper register to be tasty. It was flawless, borderline magical. I love these reaction videos, you notice and hear so many subtle things.... which is how I always listen to music. It's nice to see someone else who notices the little things that make songs so soulful and awesome!
Do it Ken! That one of the tweeter was extremely funny. For personal issues I was sad and you changed my mood before sleep. Thanks! Oh. And that version you reacted to was incredibly amazing. I knew bolton was awesome but I think that, expressively talking, he's better than ever. Pitch and tune sound dark bit perfectly fine too, at least for my ears. Keep rocking bro.
2yrs ago, MB put 3 voice lessons on TH-cam with his vocal coach he's had since the 80s. He had just returned from Italy, singing OPERA!! Talent with TRAINING = the success these guys have. I gotta get your level 1 classes/disks someday.
hello Ken and thanks for the little stories about recording and studios. Working in a studio is a lot of time spent on fixing problems than actually working. The laws of physics. Michael Bolton is a great voice WOW from my teen years... still going strong.
As a 31 year old, I can proudly say that Michael is my favourite singer, who also does my favourite song of all time. He has one of the most distinctive voices I've ever heard. Within one note, you know it's Michael. I remember requesting some MB a while back. Thanks for covering him, Ken!
Liked the video, couldn't watch past 2:07, my husband passed away 3 years ago and this was one of our songs back in the 80s, most of our rock music I can listen to but sometimes songs like this hit and I just can't... tears flow😭💔
Others with very unique, distinctive voices are..Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Lou Gramm, Peter Cetera, Steve Perry and of course, Chris Stapleton..plus many others. Oh, just thought of a few more, Roy Orbison, Bobby Hatfield, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Rod Stewart, & Johnny Maestro. Even though a lot of these were old enough to be my father, I still love the singers from years ago. I would know their voices anywhere! Sorry...just had to add a few 😊
KEN , I LOVE THE WAY YOU SPEAK ABOUT MICHAEL BOLTON 🤗,YES HE SURE IS MY NR I 🏆FORSURE❤❤❤FROM HEAVY ROCK TO SOFT ROCK IS AMAZING AND OUTRAGEOUS 💕💕💕I LOVE MIC AND RESPECT HIM SO MUCH 💝💝💝💝YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WAY OF TALKING GOID ABOUT OTHERS🤗MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU IN ABUNDANCE AMEN. BY THE WAY YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS 🤗

I love all the stories you have for us about your experiences with artists or tech engineers. It’s a side of the industry most of us will never experience. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Good reaction, always honest and good technical reaction - kudos to ya Ken. Bolt has a nice smooth tone, way too much talent 😎. Thanks , greetings From South Africa.
Man, do another Michael Bolton. Lol Personally, my favorite vocalist. Dude is severely underrated. There is a Live version of Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay from the year I was born, back in '88 at a Unity Benefit Concert. Damn!
Michael has chops his range is ridiculous pure rock pure soul specially in his early years I agree some if not familiar need to check out his early stuff
Great react Ken. I seen Michael Bolton in his hey day back in 1992 at The Palace of Auburn Hills Oleda Adams opened up, was a phenomenal concert 🤘 He had a heavy minor hit with "Fools Game" back in the 80s. Thank you Ken
I know this is an older reaction, but awesome job breaking this down. I've responded to your stuff before. I love story telling about the music business. Take care Ken.
Always full of knowledge Mr Tamplin , OUTSTANDING channel I look forward to your videos and too hear your story's about your music experience. Thank you again
Wow Ken you are a wealth of knowledge and experience my friend, you truly are amongst the last breed of genuine, real deal music professionals 👍💪 you've done it all 👍 Old school rocks!!
If you are in South Africa...you are driving past a taxi loving their Michael Bolton and Celine Dion...I know he is a talented, one song is enough for me.
Man, gotta love Ken's stories lol, I swear you've got the most interesting music business related stories. Anyway, I digress, great reaction as always!!
I totally agree with All of what you taught me today. Way back when, he wasn't really one of my favorites, but wow(now Your lingo of), What a "ping" he still has. Thank you so much, Mr. Tamplin 🤗🤭🤙 (BTW, love the hair. Former hairstylist here) ♡have a good one!♡
I've heard Michael Bolton's songs when I was middle school student Korea😊 I forgot him for a while but I'll try to cover his songs soon cause of this lesson. Thank you for your great coach Ken🙏
Ken, in no way am I a singer, but i enjoy your exuberance. Bless your soul, bro. May you be only halfway through your earthly journey and the angels sing as you pass through the gates.
When Michael Bolton made his first appearance on the Today Show he’d completed his debut song, Bryant Gumbel walked into the screen to shake his hand and said, “You know one day we’re going to have to look into your genealogical lineage!”
KT, love your little side stories! I can remember hearing "Michael Bolton" first and then running across some of his metal/hard rock stuff while searching MTV for your Christian Rock/Metal videos. I think he was going by "Michael Bolitin" at that time and he sounded great doing that style too. Great stuff KT! Keep up it. God bless and rock on bro.
When I was 5 years old (1991) my sister and I attended a daycare center in Nashville. One day one of the older women working there introduced her friend to play his acoustic guitar and play us a few songs, he was in town recording some music she said. I found it a bit dull. When we got home my dad asked us what we did that day. We said "Someone came to play music. Some guy named Michael Bolton or something."
Hi Ken and Bob! In 1969, The Rolling Stones began calling themselves the world's greatest rock n' roll band. Since forming in 1962, now fifty seven years later they have proved through their immense body of work and countless concerts that they are indeed the worlds greatest band and performers of all time. The Stones set the bar for everyone to follow. I have no idea why I never see requests for the Stones; however, I would very much appreciate it if you could do many more vocal coach reactions to The Stones, perhaps one every other day (alright maybe that's a bit much but once in a while would be pretty sweet). Every time someone requests Dimash, please show a video of Mick Jagger instead. Thanks Ken and Bob. Keep Rocking!
Man this guy can really sing. What a GREAT rendition of this song. "Said I loved you but I lied" has always been one of my favorites. That was a great story Ken! Sometimes you just gotta believe a pro when they tell you something! Great Video Ken. Kevin O'Rourke
Hello, Ken! I`m a subscriber. I love your talent, knowledge---and your stories! I`ve had Mixed Hearing Loss since the age of sixteen, which makes for some "unique" interpretations of lyrics on my part ( ;-) ), and also makes it problematic to listen to certain music and artist`s voices. I know that Michael Bolton is a talented and gifted artist; I`ve just had difficulty enjoying his singing---until now. What a difference a key makes! Thank you for sharing this performance!
This guy is such a class act. His voice is off the charts! His Opera performances, Rock performances, sense of humor, all of it, incredible! He (like Lou Gramm) set the bar so high. Both voices are characterized by that "extra gear" of intense high notes and such challenging tessitura. At 65, he can still pump it out.
Yup,he's a class act, Michael Bolton's good too)))
@@GGSOG Absolutely
Please, more Michael Bolton!! He's a gentleman with a Heavy Metal Soul and a unique Black Voice. I miss his Old Times singing Rock Songs but he can sing everything ♥... You're awesome Ken! 🏆
"Black Voice"?? He sounds white ...to me.
he means soulful lol@@jessiem276
ikr! not many ppl know about his rock era or the fact he sings opera so well. he is truly versatile. I wish he wouldn't have been so boxed into pop, which was great but he can do so much more
He was a Client of ours when I worked for a Major Law Firm in NYC and I was given tickets to see him live where he Serenaded a friend of mine and I with this song!!! (He had the LONG Hair and NO "Bodyguards" with him then) I'll NEVER forget it!!!
Steve Perry and Michael Bolton are my 2 favorite vocalists
really want to hear Michael Bolton sing Journey songs..
Yes, greatest vocalists of all time. Michael on top in my opinion, but Steve is right there.
Ken...at 3:30 you and Bolton hit the tightest harmonies! The best part is, you just jumped in to sing along with the melody and Bolton goes into his upper register to be tasty. It was flawless, borderline magical. I love these reaction videos, you notice and hear so many subtle things.... which is how I always listen to music.

Happy New Year! 🎉
I love Micheal Bolton! Great voice! Underrated!
Indeed!
I love him too... But selling 75million CD's and 2 Grammy Awards is hardly underrated...
Just Love the stories of back in the day that you tell😍
Haha. I've got a million of 'em.
Do it Ken! That one of the tweeter was extremely funny. For personal issues I was sad and you changed my mood before sleep. Thanks! Oh. And that version you reacted to was incredibly amazing. I knew bolton was awesome but I think that, expressively talking, he's better than ever. Pitch and tune sound dark bit perfectly fine too, at least for my ears. Keep rocking bro.
I ❤😍❤😍 Micheal Bolton. His opera album is my go to relax in the tub music.
Always loved Michael Bolton's one of a kind voice! Hoping you'll keep sharing your stories with us...love listening 💙
Best whisper rasp in the business! ❤

Best male vocalist of all times

25 here, been my favorite my whole life. He’s incredible.
I have always loved Bolton's singing. "Soul Provider" was one of the worn out cassettes I had as a teenager.
Otter 👍

Oh Michael Bolton long hair short hair his voice is like butter and I love hearing your stories you're so knowledgeable!
Love Michael, too! Thank you!
He can sing! Love him!
He sure can!
Bryan Adams and Michael Bolton, two great singers with marvelous, very characteristic, original and unique voices.
Others with very unique, distinctive voices are..Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Lou Gramm, Peter Cetera, Steve Perry and of course, Chris Stapleton..plus many others. Oh, just thought of a few more, Roy Orbison, Bobby Hatfield, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Rod Stewart, & Johnny Maestro.

Michael Bolton have a very unique voice and now I regret that I did not get to see him live in concert in my city, it was probably a unique chance
3:31 all of a sudden, a beautiful harmony just comes off
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
In my opinion this is the best male vocalist there's ever been! He owns his voice and is so soulful! Incredible!

"Everybody's Crazy" is one seriously underrated rock / metal album Kerrang magazine used to call him Sir Michael Bolton in those days
Michael Bolton also wrote the music Forever with Paul Stanley from Kiss
If you are in South Africa...you are driving past a taxi loving their Michael Bolton and Celine Dion...I know he is a talented, one song is enough for me.
Haha! Thanks Nicole!
Great job..👍👍👍👍

When you find your woman and really fall in love. You are blessed.

Love that song 💙
When Michael Bolton made his first appearance on the Today Show he’d completed his debut song, Bryant Gumbel walked into the screen to shake his hand and said, “You know one day we’re going to have to look into your genealogical lineage!”
you gave me an education I never knew I needed on Bolton, within the first 30 seconds.
I love his voice. And I love the duet he did with Lara Fabian ♥️ They sang "The Prayer" it was so so good.
Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🍾🎈🧨
More Michael Bolton please, especially some of the covers on Immortal Songs
Great Reaction and Explanation
Thank you, Josh!

That's great to hear, Santosh BK!
Michael is awesome. But your ear for the music / vocals is incredible. You're vocals are incredible too.... love the side stories btw!
Ken i think you live in concert with some of your students would be awesome to watch 😲 Man, that would be cool 😎👍

The best version is the David Foster concert where Bolton does this one and Seal does Man's world. Go, now!
Awesome!
ELVIS the king 👑
Michael the Prince for me.
Bravo.
