Singer/songwriter Michael Bolton had an extended, though non very successful, career under his real call, Michael Bolotin, before emerging in the mid-'80s as a major soft rock candy crooner. He turned up on RCA Records in the mid-'70s vocalizing in a ill-humored, Joe Cocker-like voice both his have blue-eyed soul songs and cover tunes. Neither record buyers nor critics were much interested by the result. He and then became the lead isaac Bashevis Singer in Blackjack, a heavy metallic element band that made two albums for Polydor at the end of the '70s and the startle of the '80s. In 1983, he changed his name to Michael Bolton, signed to Columbia Records as a solo act, and relaunched his calling.
Michael Bolton was released in April 1983, and made the Top C bestsellers, as did its single, "Fools Game." At the same time, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," which Bolton had co-written, became a Top 40 hit for Laura Branigan. Nevertheless, Bolton's second Columbia record album, Everybody's Crazy (1985), was a commercial floating-point operation. His breakthrough came with his third gear record album, The Hunger, released in September 1987. On this record album, Bolton derelict the more hard tilt aspects of his style to concentrate on blue-eyed soulfulness tattle: both on his have songs, such as "That's What Love Is All About," and on covers like Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." Those deuce songs became Top 40 hits.
Soul Provider, released in July 1989, turned Bolton into a genius, reach the Top Ten, merchandising four meg copies, and spawning five Top 40 singles, including Bolton's number unmatchable version of "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," and the Top Ten hits "How Can We Be Lovers" and "When I'm Back on My Feet Again." "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" won Bolton a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Time, Love & Tenderness, released in April 1991, was even more successful, striking number one, selling six zillion copies, and featuring iV Top 40 hits, including the chart-topping track of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman," and the Top Ten hits "Love Is a Wonderful Thing" (later the subject of a successful piracy suit brought against Bolton by the Isley Brothers) and "Time, Love and Tenderness."
Bolton won another Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for "When a Man Loves a Woman," just he had to put up with shout from two camps of detractors at the February 1992 observance. Just later Bolton had performed, pre-rock songster Irving Gordon won the Song of the Year awarding for "Unforgettable" and pointedly attacked songs that "screaming, cry, and possess a nervous crack-up" and singers wHO "receive a hernia" when they blab. Then, backstage, Bolton faced a hostile push corps of critics unhappy with his tendency to written matter outstanding soul singers like Redding, Ray Charles, and Sledge. Bolton suggested they apply their lips to a certain piece of his soma. He farther responded with Dateless: The Classics in September 1992, an record album made up totally of cover songs. It went to number unmatchable, sold three million copies, and featured a Top 40 hit in Bolton's version of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody." Bolton's side by side album of original material, The One Thing, came in November 1993. It hit the Top Ten, sold triad meg copies, and featured the Top Ten hit "Said I Loved You...But I Lied." Bolton released Superlative Hits 1985-1995 in the fall of 1995, which debuted in the Top Ten. The following year, This Is the Time: Christmas Album appeared.
Bolton returned with All That Matters, his number 1 album of unexampled material since 1993's The One Thing, in the fall of 1997. Instead of chronic his success, it was a surprise flop. Not only did it not bring forth a hit individual, it hardly cracked the Top 40 and fell out of the charts afterward 15 weeks. Its want of success didn't halt Bolton from turning his attention to My Secret Passion, a collection of opera and arias that he released in January 1998. By authoritative standards, the album was a dispatch, and the record standard a great trade of press and surprisingly good reviews. He supported the iI albums with a summertime tour co-headlined by Wynonna Judd. He voluntarily stepped gage for nearly four-spot long time, disappearing from the public eye until the spring of 2002 when he began promoting Only a Woman Like You, his number 1 album on Jive Records. After a brief sabbatical, he returned with Til the End of Forever, a hybrid new record album of seven-spot newfangled recordings and a live greatest-hits concert. In 2006 he released Bolton Swings Sinatra, a 12-song tribute to Ol' Blue Eyes that included a duo with fiancée/actress Nicolette Sheridan.
