He was all over the radio and MTV as I stepped into college. As usual, your backstory helps me appreciate an artist that I can’t say was “my type“ at the time. He did have the most amazing voice!

This was amazing to learn about how Michael Bolton got started!! I grew up in the 80’s listening to his music!

What a great story! I knew who little Mike was the moment the first photo of him with his big brother came up. Iconic face, and with that short hair it looks more like he's looked for the past decade or two. 😂 Once you mentioned he wrote the Laura Branigan hit, I can totally hear it! That's absolutely his "voice" in the music. Thanks for the dive into a crazy career for Mr. B!

Michael Bolton if only he had stuck to motorcycle racing.

I loathe his middle of the road, easy listening pap but even I can hear from that awful coke jingle it's the prince of the long outdated mullet, vocal chord strainer extrordinaire Michael Bolton. Few voices gives me the icks like his does. I think he's probably partially responsible for the stupidity of Maga voters, get em young and drain their ability to think critically and choose what’s worthwhile over what’s populist!
