Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953), known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and songwriter. Bolton performed in the hard rock and heavy metal music genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. His early career also saw him as a successful songwriter, co-writing hits like "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" for Laura Branigan, which he later recorded as a solo single.
Bolton achieved peak recognition as a pop ballad singer in the late 1980s and early 1990s with notable collaborations with songwriters like Diane Warren and Desmond Child. During that time, he covered such songs as Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman". Despite his commercial success in the adult contemporary genre, Bolton faced criticism for being derivative. In 2000, he faced a controversial legal battle with the Isley Brothers over plagiarism, which resulted in a substantial financial settlement.
In later years, he ventured into various other media, including television and film, often appearing as himself. Bolton also participated in Dancing with the Stars and produced the documentary American Dream: Detroit. His personal life includes a long-term relationship and broken engagement with actress Nicollette Sheridan and a 15-year marriage to Maureen McGuire, with whom he has three daughters. Bolton is also known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly through The Michael Bolton Charities, although he has faced criticism over the way funds raised by the organization have been allocated. He has been recognized for his contributions to music and charity, including receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Bolton has sold more than 75 million records, and recorded eight top 10 albums and two number-one singles on the Billboard charts, as well as winning six American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards. He has performed with artists including Lucia Aliberti, Patti LaBelle, José Carreras, Tony Cetinski, Ray Charles, Celine Dion, Plácido Domingo, Renée Fleming, Wynonna Judd, B.B. King, The Lonely Island, Luciano Pavarotti, Percy Sledge, and Zucchero.
Lyrics:
Don't know how the spell was broken
But you got me speaking words I've never spoken
How did you do that?
How did you do that?
One heart drifting in the ocean
Living in my own world, going through the motions
That was all I had
That was all I had
I don't wanna waste more time
You took me so long to find
And I
I don't wanna spend my life wondering
Packing up my heart and just running
And I
I used to care a lot about nothing
Now all I really know is this one thing
Baby, you and I, we could be something
Love to watch you while you're sleeping
You give me a reason, something to believe in
Everything is better
Everything feels better
I don't want to waste more time
It took me so long to find
And I
I don't wanna spend my life wondering
Packing up my heart and just running
And I
I used to care a lot about nothing
Now all I really know is this one thing
Baby, you and I, we could be something
Something so strong
Something so right
Baby, we could be something for the rest of our lives
And I
I don't want to spend my life wondering
And I
I don't want to spend my life wondering
Packing up my heart and just running
And I
I used to care a lot about nothing
Now all I really know is this one thing
Baby, you and I, we could be something
Something, something, something
