Michael Bolton 这是一位非常著名的美国摇滚老歌手。

53年生于康尼迪克州（Connecticut）的New Haven。80年代末起，Bolton 成为了最优秀的摇滚乐歌手之一。

在Bolton的成长过程中，他一直喜爱骚灵音乐，喜爱听 Steive Wonder, Ray Charles和 Marvin Gaye的歌曲。早在他十五岁时，便登台演唱，在家乡的一些酒吧、俱乐部中献艺，这为他以后的成功打下了坚实的基础。

起初，Bolton的歌运并不很理想，推出的几首单曲以及两个专辑都没有引起什么反响。70年代末，Bolton 成为硬摇滚乐队“Blackjack”的主唱，注重从属风格摇滚的发挥，后来乐队解散，Bolton转而进入哥伦比亚公司以求发展。

为女歌手Laura Branigan在1983年作的《How Am I Supposed to Live without You》一炮打响，红遍歌坛。接着他又翻唱了已故灵歌巨星奥蒂斯·雷丁的名曲《Sitting on the Dock of the Boy》，获得成功。接着Bolton又重唱了《How Am I Supposed To Live Without You》，听来令人激情荡漾。这首90年代初排行榜上的冠军歌曲，使他获得了该年度的葛莱美流行男歌手奖。从此开始,推出了一系列碧浪灵歌《How Can We Be Lovers》，《Love Is A Wonderful Thing》。91年的专辑《Time Love and Tenderness》一经问世，迅速荣登榜首，在数月里保持在前十的位置。

Michael Bolton凭藉独特的演绎和声线，以及极富创意的作词、作曲的才华，赢得了乐迷的欣赏，成为80年代到90年代乐坛炙手可热的巨星。
