Michael Bolton

Michael Bolton, nome d'arte di Michael Bolotin (New Haven, 26 febbraio 1953), è un cantautore statunitense. È interprete anche di brani scritti da altri autori. I suoi successi comprendono 7 album che hanno raggiunto la top ten statunitense e 2 singoli al numero uno delle classifiche, oltre ai premi American Music Awards e Grammy. Nato in una famiglia russo-ebraica di New Haven (Connecticut), ha raggiunto il successo tra i trentacinque e i quarant'anni come solista vocale nel genere heavy metal, caratterizzato dall'impiego di melodie e tematiche che attraggono il grande pubblico musicale. Aveva avuto tuttavia il suo primo contratto con una casa discografica già dall'età di 15 anni suonando - con il suo vero nome - con un gruppo musicale hard rock chiamato Blackjack, del quale aveva anche fatto parte Bruce Kulick, chitarrista dei Kiss. Il complesso aveva realizzato un tour anche con il cantante heavy metal Ozzy Osbourne. Bolton, iniziò poi a registrare dischi con il nuovo nome d'arte nel 1983, dopo aver incontrato il successo come autore con la stesura del brano How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, scritto per Laura Branigan, già nota per aver cantato un classico della disco-pop: Gloria. Bolton ha tre figlie, nate a metà degli anni settanta. I loro nomi sono Isa, Holly e Taryn.
