Michael Bolton - To Love Somebody out now! To Love Somebody is a song I loved by the BeeGees. When I had to meet Barry Gibb we started speaking about our love of Otis Redding and Barry said that he heard Otis in his head when he was writing To Love Somebody. I immediately understood why I loved the song so much melodically, so I recorded it with David Foster producing. Michael Boltons version of To Love Somebody was released as a single as well as included on the album Timeless: The Classics and his version reached #11 on the US Hot 100 Chart in 1993. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recorded, some Ive written, a ...
Michael Bolton - Said I Love You...But I Lied out now! Said I Loved ...You But I Lied is a song I wrote with Mutt Lange, at his house in England. The power of the message came through the chorus — that could be very misleading if you took the title on the face of it Said I Loved You but I Lied. But if you listen to the rest of the lyrics its because the word love isnt big enough to describe what youre feeling for someone. Its probably my favorite recording that I ever made. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recorded, some Ive written, a lot of them hits of mine but that Ive been performing all around the world f...
Michael Bolton - The Prayer out now! The Prayer is a beautiful combination of classical and pop melodies and what I consider David Fosters masterpiece. He was the wizard behind this incredible song and production and the message I feel resonates with people everyone. Its a joy to perform live. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recorded, some Ive written, a lot of them hits of mine but that Ive been performing all around the world for about 35 years. Now I get to experience the width and breadth of the emotional content of the songs, transformed through this amazing group of arrangements that is this symphonic orches...
Michael Bolton - When A Man Loves A Woman out now! Theres a really funny story about the fate of When a Man Loves a Woman. I loved Percy Sledge as a kid. I knew the song really well and it was good for my range vocally. But when I delivered my recording to the label, a top executive there said I heard the new album Time Love and Tenderness and I think its fantastic, its going to be huge, but you have to take When a Man Loves a Woman off the album. I doubted myself for a moment but then pushed back and insisted the song stay on the record. It wound up becoming the second single and it went to #1 for 6 weeks. And I won a Grammy for it, best male vocal performance. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful a...
Michael Bolton - Soul Provider out now! Andy Goldmarck and I co-wrote were messing around with chords and ideas in New York in Andys apartment. And he said, you know I have this idea, I call it Soul Provider. As we started working on the lyrics I was loving the fact that its soul, S.O.U.L. provider and its only about good intentions, the deepest good intentions.

Michael Bolton - Time, Love and Tenderness out now! Time Love and Tenderness is a Diane Warren composition. She used to send me whatever she was really excited about, and this song came at a difficult and really intense time in my life, so the message really resonated with me in a powerful way. Great song about healing. Time Love and Tenderness. Excellent ingredients if you ask me. Released as a single from his album of the same title, the song reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming Boltons fifth Top 10 single in the United States during the summer of 1991. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recor...
Michael Bolton - How Am I Supposed To Live Without You out now! How Am I Supposed to Live Without You is really important. I talk about it during almost every concert before I introduce it. It was a pivotal song in my life because it was the first hit that I ever wrote for anyone. So in 1983 Laura Branigan released this beautiful version of it so that helped secure the end of rent checks bouncing. When you finally have a hit, the industry starts chasing you, calling you and you realize the entire industry revolves around the hit song. Hit songs are the life blood of every artist. So that was my first big one. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so muc...
Michael Bolton - How Can We Be Lovers out now! How Can we Be Lovers … if we cant be friends, I wrote with Diane Warren and Desmond Child in my apartment in New York City. I had a mini recording studio set up in Manhattan and Desmond is very big on the power of truth, so a simple question, a simple thought, turns into a powerful reality for people who are going through whatever they are going through. And how can we be lovers if we cant be friends is an interesting question considering the main thing you miss if your relationship doesnt work out or if temporarily it stops, who do you miss, you miss the best friend in your life. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs...
Michael Bolton - Georgia On My Mind out now! I was born a Ray Charles fan. Every time I heard the tone in his voice I would stop what I was doing. Georgia On My Mind is a Hoagey Carmichael composition and the definitive version was delivered by Ray Charles. I had a very big hit with it on the album Soul Provider. I love singing it, I love the way it makes me feel singing it, I love the way it reminds me of how Rays version just created such a fan in me, of the song as well of the artist. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recorded, some Ive written, a lot of them hits of mine but that Ive been performing all around ...
Michael Bolton - Steel Bars out now! Steel Bars was one of the most exciting experiences of my life because I wrote it with Bob Dylan. I dont know exactly what he said during the first two minutes of our writing session because all I was thinking was oh my god this is Bob Dylan, — I was just a complete fan, just a mega fan. I came up with a bunch of different options, chord changes on my acoustic guitar. And I was humming some melodies, and he said oh, Steel Bars, wrapped all around me and I said to myself thats so Dylan, I love it. Its an incredible experience having 60 plus symphony orchestra musicians playing these beautiful arrangements of some of my favorite songs. It brings so much more dimension to songs Ive recorded, some Ive written, a lot of them hits o...
Michael Bolton - (Sittin On) The Dock Of The Bay out now! Dock of the Bay is a song that I loved as a kid hearing Otis Reddings version and as a teenager, I performed it with my bands. When I finally started recording in New York City, I would hang out at this place called JPs uptown on the east side where all the greatest players would gather. One night someone invited me up to sing and suddenly I was on stage singing Dock of the Bay with this amazing all star band. People went nuts. So I produced it on my first solo album The Hunger and it became the second single for The Hunger. It got played on Pop, R&B, Adult Contemporary, and Rock stations. And Otis Reddings widow, Zelma, gave a rave review, saying it was her favorite version since her husbands and that she wa...
