Hello Helena, I'll attempt to answer your questions if I can. Michael was born and raised in New Haven, CT but now he and his daughters all live in Westport, CT. His mom still lives in New Haven. Also, one daughter lives in NYC and goes to school/works. Michael has one brother Orrin, who also sings and just released his own album a few weeks ago (www.rockinhood.com). He has a great voice too..a bit different than Michael's. THey have one sister, Sandra as well. Sandra is not in the entertainment business. Michael plays the guitar, a bit of piano (especially when he is writing) and we found out not too long ago he can also play a bit of saxophone.

Oh yeah and yesterday, Michael became a grandfather!

Hope that answers your questions...if not keep asking!! ;) Gail

Hi Helena, just to let you know, there already is a discussion thread for Michael facts you may or may not know about:
http://www.michaelbolton.com/forum/topics/michael-facts
There is also another thread called “Inquiring minds want to know”:

Gail didn’t tell you that Michael’s the baby of the family. BTW, Orrin is the one in the picture with me on my profile page. :D In case you’d like to hear what Orrin sounds like, go here:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/orrinbolton
There you’ll hear samples of Orrin’s 2001 album “Freedom”. His latest album is called “Liv’n like a man” and was released on August 29. BTW, you might find more direct info about Orrin on www.orrinbolton.com
I’m not his agent or anything, but he’s a great guy… Well, there you go Helena, if you have any more questions, be sure to let us know. Take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Thanks Gail, Shannon and Sylvie!!

Sylvie, thanks for the links... I listened to the samples of Orrin's (that is an unusal name) songs and he has a nice voice! I especially like "Take a Vacation", God do I need one...LOL! It reminded me when I went on a cruise years ago and and we stopped in Jamaica...ya mon!

Has Michael even recorded or performed with Orrin?

Hugs,
Helena

Hi Helena, you’re very welcome! Yeah, I love “Take a vacation” but my favorite is the “Freedom” song on that CD. Incidentally, Michael wrote the song “Please come home” on Orrin’s album and Orrin performed it on Oprah in ‘95. Sadly no, the brothers haven’t recorded together, but I believe they’ve performed together at the “This close” charity events. It would seriously be my dream duet if they did. Glad you enjoyed Orrin’s voice! If you’re interested, you can buy all his CD’s on his www.orrinbolton.com site. Well take care Helena, any more questions? :D Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Well like you Shannon I have blonde hair and it also got darker as I was getting older, but I dye it and I'm still a blonde and blue eyed italian american girl...LOL! And my mother and I look alike, and everyone tells us that! Even though I'm italian I look more Irish, and have been told that a million times.... My bothers look more like my dad, dark brown hair and brown eyes..

Helena

I was just looking at the "Gallery" section of the forum and enjoyed the various pictures of Michael. Was wondering about some of the people he was posing with...are any of them members of his family? The two blonde hair girls, are those his daughters? There was a picture of him (it looked like a black and white photo) with a woman, could that be his ex-wife? The only picture I recognzied is the one with Nicolette. Would be nice to see what his daughters look like......

Nice weekend to all,

Helena...xxx.....
