Michael Bolton (Михаил Болотин) родился в семье русских эмигрантов Георгия и Елены Болотиных 26 февраля 1953 в Нью-Хейвене, штат Коннектикут, северо-восточной части Соединенных Штатов Америки. Также у него был брат Оррин и сестра Сандра. Michael Bolton американский певец русского происхождения, исполнитель медленных любовных баллад в стиле белого («голубоглазого») соула. Свою сольную карьеру Майкл Болтон начал в 22 года на студии "RCA Records" и там же он записал свой первый альбом Michael Bolotin . Альбом не пользовался особой популярностью, хотя критики и публика благосклонно отнеслась к композиции "Your Love". Болтон приобрел известность в возрасте 30 лет, написав известный хит Лоры Браниган «How Am I Supposed to Live without You». В течение нескольких последующих лет он поставлял песни для Шер, Барбры Стрейзанд и ряда других звезд. Болтон достиг всемирного успеха на рубеже 1990-х, покорив вершину американских чартов и выиграв несколько премий «Грэмми» за кавер-версии соул-хитов шестидесятых, таких как «When a Man Loves a Woman». Несмотря на незаурядные вокальные данные артиста, его пристрастие к перепевкам вызвало гнев пуристов соул-музыки, которые призывали бойкотировать его сочинения и слушать классические хиты, а не болтоновский «суррогат». Последний крупный хит Болтона, «Said I Loved You… But I Lied», был выпущен в 1994 г., а два месяца спустя творчество Болтона стало предметом громкого судебного разбирательства, в ходе которого было установлено, что в основу одной из его песен была положена классическая мелодия..

Amazon.com Known for a terrifying rendition of Otis Redding's hit "(Sittin' On The) Dock of the Bay" (among others), Michael Bolton tears up every classic soul tune he can get his hands on. Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" take on completely new meanings in the hands of this former hard rock singer. This 2 CD, 17-cut retrospective includes all the songs that catapulted him to mega-stardom and plenty of others that show him as just another sincere fool for love ("I Promise You" and "I Found Someone"). Just as Meatloaf turned up the juice on the histrionics of Bruce Springsteen, Bolton takes the soul singer out of the smoky nightclub and into the hockey arena for the whole world to hear. - Rob O'Connor
Georgia On My Mind - Кавер версия одной из известнейших композиций. Авторство песни часто приписывают Рэю Чарльзу, но на самом деле её написали в 1930 году Стюарт Горрелл и Хоги Кармайкл.
