Michael Bolton & Seal bring the soul to “When A Man Loves A Woman” / “It’s a Man’s World” mashup

David Foster's concerts consistently attract celebrity performers, and his Las Vegas show at Mandalay Bay proved this tradition continues. Michael Bolton and Seal joined forces, delivering an unforgettable blend of "When A Man Loves A Woman" and "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" while Foster played piano and directed his expert musicians through the polished arrangement.

Bolton started the show with his rendition of "When A Man Loves A Woman," performing with intense emotion. Around two minutes into the song, Seal made his unexpected entry, stating, "Well Michael, you know that was pretty sensational, but I have a slightly different take on things." Seal then guided the band into "It's A Man's World," delivering a soulful interpretation that arguably overshadowed Bolton's powerful opening.

The shift between songs flowed perfectly, with Foster and his musicians performing excellently that evening. Later, Bolton and Seal collaborated again on "When A Man Loves A Woman," this time using the R&B rhythm established during "It's A Man's World." The pairing of these vocal giants created a truly special moment.

The musical competition seemed to intensify as Seal's performance pushed Bolton to increase his vocal intensity, creating an exceptional show. This video became the most viewed on Foster's YouTube channel, reaching 101 million views. Another highlight from that night featured Foster performing with Earth, Wind, & Fire on "September" and "After The Love Has Gone," attracting 5.5 million views.

Online viewers praised the Bolton-Seal collaboration with comments like "Impossible to not feel the soul pouring from these two. An instant classic of a performance" and "World class. Truly amazing singing, but let's not forget the perfect arrangement – those musicians are on another level, too."

"When a Man Loves a Woman," composed by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, first gained popularity through Percy Sledge's 1966 recording, which topped US charts. Bolton's 1991 version also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
