His powerful, husky baritone sold millions of albums and brought several songs on the top of the charts. Bolton’s singing style was much loved by worldwide audiences, but he was often severely criticized by music journalists.
From THE SYMPHONY SESSIONS

“Winter Games” was the theme song of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. This rousing track stands out as one of the most loved instrumental pieces of Foster’s entire career.

There was also a vocal version of this song entitled “Can You Feel It,” that was performed during the Olympic Games.

From THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

Neil Diamond’s “The Best Years Of Our Lives” was released in 1988, two years after “Headed For The Future.” It was probably his best work of the decade. Together with David Foster, the singer created an organic, flowing record that was true to his best tradition of pop ballads and upbeat songs.
