MY FUNNY VALENTINE

From MY FUNNY VALENTINE (single)

Written by Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart

“There are very few singers that excite me and live up to my particular expectations. Kelly fills the bill in every way. Her voice is stunning, her way of interpreting a song is exactly how I want to hear it and imagine it to be in a perfect world.  She’s beautiful inside and out and for sure this is a girl we are going to hear lots more from in the future. Good is the enemy of great—Kelly is not good, she’s GREAT!!!”

The first half of the Nineties was the most successful phase of David Foster’s career. He had an outstanding string of multi-platinum productions for Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Kenny G, All-4-One, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Michael Bolton, just to name a few. Foster’s collaboration with Bolton was one of the highlights of that era. A Foster partnership was meant to happen given Bolton ’s pop/rock and adult contemporary style, his powerful voice and Foster’s previous track record with acts like Chicago, Peter Cetera, Kenny Loggins, Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. Bolton ’s Timeless (The Classics) was released in late September 1992.

John Burk, who went to the Grammy podium in 2005 for his work on the late Ray Charles’ Genius Loves Company cd, produced Givin’ It Up. The record was a listening pleasure for music lovers who appreciated the classic, sophisticated sounds of two gifted performers. Both Jarreau and Benson were in fine form and gave noteworthy performances throughout the project.
