Michael Bolton's tastes for stirring soul and big-tent rock made him a master of love songs. The Bolton-penned portrait of longing “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” was a 1983 hit for Laura Branigan; a few years on, his own muscular, passionate version cemented Bolton's place as a premier soul-pop crooner. In the ‘90s, Bolton's R&B-inspired originals like the Motown-tinged “Love Is a Wonderful Thing” and his reverent covers of classics like “When a Man Loves a Woman” lit up radios and wedding receptions; later, he went to the movies, writing originals and covering crowd-pleasers for Hollywood films, as heard on 2017's Songs of Cinema.
