Timeless: The Classics Vol. 2 is an album of covers by Michael Bolton, released in 1999.
The album is a follow-up to Bolton's 1992 covers album Timeless: The Classics . Unlike that album, however, which reached #1 and ultimately sold over 9 million copies, Vol. 2 failed to chart altogether on the Top 200, becoming Bolton's first album to not chart since 1985's Everybody's Crazy .
"Warm and Tender Love" was not included on American releases of the album, which makes "Whiter Shade of Pale" the eleventh and final track on that edition.

The two singles from the album, "The Best of Love", and "Safe Place from the Storm" were disappointing in sales and radio play, and fans were disappointed that the songs were performed only a handful of times during Bolton’s 1998 tour in support of the album.
