ABOUT MICHAEL BOLTON:
If you made a list of performers who have sold more than 53 million records, won multiple Grammy trophies for Best Male Vocalist and countless other honors, earned a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and sold out arenas worldwide, Michael Bolton would be on that list.
But if you tallied all the artists who’ve sung with Luciano Pavarotti and Ray Charles, written songs with Bob Dylan, penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, played guitar with B.B. King and been sampled on a track by hip-hop superstar Kanye West (featuring megastar Jay-Z), Michael Bolton would be the only name on that list.
And he doesn’t take such dream collaborations for granted.
“Working with people who’ve inspired me so profoundly, like Ray and Luciano, it’s like an out-of-body experience,” the singer marvels. “These are some of the greatest moments of my life.”
Bolton’s achievements as a songwriter may surprise those who are only acquainted with his singing career. In addition to hits for Streisand, KISS and Cher, he’s written songs for Joe Cocker, Marc Anthony, Kenny G., Peabo Bryson, Greg Allman, Wynonna Judd and many others; over the years, he has earned multiple honors in this field, including BMI’s Songwriter of the Year, Song of the Year and Million-Air awards, ASCAP’s Writer and Publisher Awards and a Hitmaker Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
With every show, he reiterates, “It’s my honor to share this music – and these moments – with my fans.”
