Bob Slydell: I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, it doesn't get any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".
Samir: Hmm... well why don't you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.
sorry, couldn't help myself.

My name is Mick Mansuetto and I am a performer with the 60's act The 1910 Fruitgum Company. I am sure you will remember our biggest hit record Simple Simon Says. We had 3 gold records and several top 40 hits in 1968 and 1969. I am writing in hope that we can get to perform at your summer venue this season. We are a New Jersey born act and still reside in NJ. I have listed below some information on the act and sincerely hope we can work together.Thank you for your time and a happy Thanksgiving to you.
