<p>Hi all, I was doing a bit of research on the internet and came across this interview/article. I don't know when this was written, although judging by the fact that Michael mentions "pen and tapedeck", it might date some, but I thought it was interesting enough to bring over here. Enjoy!

<p>Michael Bolton</p>
<p> </p>
<p> By Bruce Pollock</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shortly before he became Michael Bolton and released six multi-platinum albums in a row between 1987 and 1995, but after he was Michael Bolotin, going nowhere as a generic heavy rocker, Michael Bolton was following the career path of the songwriter, collaborating with everyone and stalking his contacts at the labels if there was a chance he had a shot at a single. His crowning moment was scripting the #12 hit for Laura Branigan "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" in 1983. It was at this heady juncture that I caught up with him to glean his hard-won insights.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Writing Hits</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anybody who says they're not trying to write hits is either in the wrong business or lying, because once you realize what you're up against - the odds of even getting a song on a record - then you'd better write a hit, or it's not gonna be on the record. Hit songs are the life blood of the industry. Every company is screaming for songs; the hit song is what keeps the industry alive, because that's all that radio wants to play. I didn't realize that until all of a sudden I started writing for other people. I've got a list right here of about 70 artists and producers who are looking for songs. Right now I've got songs on about 12 or 13 albums. I have no idea whether they're gonna be sung well, whether they'll be produced well, whether any of them will even be singles. But I'm hoping for hits.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Letting the Songs Go</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I didn't know anything about the publishing world until about three years ago. I was between record deals, between managements. A friend of mine, Patrick Henderson, had written "Real Love," with Michael McDonald, so I asked him if he had any more things like that hanging around. I flew out to California and we wrote three songs, with the attempt being to put together a record deal for me. The next thing I knew was that his publishing company said they could place those songs instantly. I needed the money, so I said, let the songs go, and all the songs were gone in a matter of weeks. One of those songs - the very first one I wrote, has been recorded seven times. It's called "Still Thinking of You." Larry Graham did it, Fran Jolie, Rachel Sweet. Through Larry, George Duke became a big fan of the song, and I suddenly realized how it's great to have producers really hot on a song. They're just gonna keep cutting it until they have a hit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Words and Music</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I write everything - music, lyrics, melody - and I don't like writing just one of those things. I have been offered assignments to sit down with a piano player and write lyrics, but I won't do that. I like to be there during the conception of the song. I like to sit down and start fumbling around with a melody, or some idea, until the song starts revealing itself, where the lyrics and music are creating each other at the same time. I don't go anywhere without a pen and paper and my tape deck. If I get an idea I write it down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>About 60% of the time somebody has an idea and they say, 'Michael will be real good with this one.' Once you've had a hit record, people start calling you up. I don't care if a guy's involved with a hit. What I'm interested in is knowing what he contributed to the song. Is he a melody person? Does he come up with a theme? There are a lot of writers who can come up with a song that sounds just like their last hit only sideways. The writers I enjoy working with want to write songs that will be around ten years from now. I just started writing with Randy Goodrum ("You Needed Me"). I felt a little intimidated by his success. But he's the kind of guy who writes forever songs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Levels</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>First you hear they're gonna cut your song. Then you find out they never did cut it. The next level is that they cut it, but never put a vocal on it. Then they cut it, put a vocal on it, but it didn't make the record. Usually when I'm told the song is on hold it winds up on the record. But I don't believe it until I hear it. Then they tell you it might be a single. When they tell you it's going to be a single, that's the only time I feel really comfortable that the song is going to be on the record. I don't believe it's really going to be a single until I hear the version of it. Once I hear the version of it, I can start making noise myself and have whatever friends I have at that label go to see them every other day and say, did you hear that track yet? I don't hype my work actively, but if I think there's a single there, I don't want to lose it. If it's not good enough to be a single, then I hope it's bad enough to be the b-side of a single. If it looks like it may be a single, they'll never put it on the b-side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, if it does get released as a single and it makes the charts, that's like going to the races. And they're off....</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Bruce Pollock has written ten books on music, including By the Time We Got to Woodstock: The Great Rock Revolution of 1969. In his column "They're Playing My Song," Susanna Hoffs, Jules Shear and many other songwriters tell the stories behind the one song that most impacted their careers.

</div>
</div>
<div class="storyText"><p>(CBS News) <i>With a big birthday coming up, Michael Bolton is looking back on his career -- and sharing more details about his life. This morning he talks with Martha Teichner . . . For The Record:</i></p>
<p></p>
<p>If one hears the name Michael Bolton, there's a good chance you'll think the hair.</p>
<p></p>
<p>On his way to selling 53 million singles and albums, to winning two Grammys, to reaching music superstardom, his trademarks were that voice, singing love songs, and the hair.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"It became my look," Bolton said. "Not exaggerating, there was probably a good $50 million to $100 million in marketing that was spent on establishing my appearance."</p>
<p></p>
<p>How he came to cut his hair is just one of the stories he tells in his memoir, out Tuesday.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"It was traumatic, yeah, it was really traumatic, it really was," he said. "It was like a part of my childhood and my rebellion and everything I went through to wear long hair."</p>
<p></p>
<div style="width: 244px;" class="cnet-image-div image-CBSNEWS_GRANDE float-left"><img class="cnet-image" alt="" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2013/01/27/bolton2_244x183.jpg" width="244" height="183"/><p class="image-caption">Singer-songwriter Michael Bolton.</p>
<span class="greySplitter">/</span> <span class="image-credit">CBS News</span></div>
<p></p>
<p>Born Michael Bolotin in New Haven, Conn., in 1953, his rebellion was pretty dramatic. After his parents' difficult divorce, he lost himself in music, and dropped out -- literally -- at the age of 14.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He didn't go to high school. Instead, he hitchhiked to California with a band, then became a hippie, singing for change in Greenwich Village.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"I was in love with music, the one primary, consistent element throughout it all was this first passion that I was born with and that I held onto," he said.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He signed a record deal at 15 (or rather, his mother had to sign it for him) . . . the first of six over the next 18 years, that all failed to turn him into the rock star he wanted to be.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Bolton was broke, with a wife and three daughters, facing eviction.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"There were times in Connecticut when I would gig, if it snowed the clubs would close, and you'd get a phone call from the agent, who said, 'Sorry, but Friday night's off.' And it doesn't do you any good to say, you know, 'Yeah, but we have to eat. I gotta feed my family.'"</p>
<p></p>
<p>What finally saved him were commercials. Bolton did dozens of them through the mid-1980s. He called it "shaking the money tree."</p>
<p></p>
<p>At the same time, other performers -- Cher, Barbra Streisand, Kiss among them -- began recording the songs he was writing on the side.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," a number one hit for Laura Branigan in 1983, was life-changing for Michael Bolton.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Columbia, Bolton's record label, gave him a piece of advice: Forget rock and roll, sing your own songs. Don't give them to everybody else to turn into hits.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The result is all over the walls of his basement . . . gold and platinum.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Time, Love, and Tenderness" sold over 14 million, worldwide. A bittersweet blockbuster, because on it is this song, "Love Is a Wonderful Thing." Michael Bolton spent 14 years in court fighting and ultimately losing copyright infringement lawsuits brought by the rhythm and blues group, the Isley Brothers, whose song by the same name he swears to this day he had never even heard.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"What I have to live with is a piece of me torn away from me," Bolton said, "and a lot of, a sense of betrayal, and a loss of faith is probably the worst part of it. But, you know what? Things happen."</p>
<p></p>
<p>And he's written or co-written other songs -- more than 220 of them. "Basically, I just mess around until I see something start to happen that I like," he said.</p>
<p></p>
<p>His collaborators have included Lady Gaga ("Murder My Heart") and Bob Dylan ("Steel Bars").</p>

<p>Hi Kellie, Michael mentionned that Randy has been bugging him for about 6 years now, during the Reddit chat and there was even a video response of his saying that. Michael won't have enough of 3 lifetimes to do everything he wants to do, I think... :D Take care Kellie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada</p>

<div class="force_dir"><font><font lang="en" xml:lang="en">"At the beginning of the 90s, Michael Bolton was characterized for having a bad hairstyle and a muscular body that aroused the passion of women of all ages.</font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">He also shone as a hopeless romantic who questioned how could live without the love of his life ("How am I supossed to live without you?") or, with permission of its original interpreter, Percy Sledge, chronicled what happens when a man loves a woman ("When a man loves a woman").</font></font></div>
<div class="force_dir"><font><font lang="en" xml:lang="en">Those who succumbed to those songs, or perhaps fell in love around them, will hear how a renewed Bolton (Yes, the hair was cut) interprets them 20 years later, this Saturday at Casa Piedra.</font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">"The public will hear all my hits.</font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">Never I abandon them, especially when I travel away from home", ahead of the singer to the phone.</font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">"People don't have the opportunity to see me often and want to listen to songs that were important at some point in their lives.</font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">But I will also introduce songs from my new album.</font></font></div>

<p>A comienzo de los 90, Michael Bolton se caracterizaba por tener un mal peinado y un cuerpo musculoso que despertaba la pasión de mujeres de todas las edades. Brillaba también por ser un romántico irremediable que se cuestionaba cómo podría llegar a vivir sin el amor de su vida (“How am I supossed to live without you?”) o, con permiso de su intérprete original, Percy Sledge, narraba lo que pasa cuando un hombre ama a una mujer (“When a man loves a woman”).</p>
<p>Los que sucumbieron ante esas canciones, o tal vez se enamoraron en torno a ellas, podrán escuchar cómo un renovado Bolton (sí, se cortó el pelo) las interpreta 20 años más tarde, este sábado en CasaPiedra. “El público escuchará todos mis grandes éxitos. Nunca los abandono, especialmente cuando viajo fuera de casa”, adelanta el cantante al teléfono. “La gente no tiene la oportunidad de verme seguido y quieren escuchar las canciones que fueron importantes en algún momento de sus vidas. Pero también introduciré temas de mi nuevo disco”.</p>
<p>Bolton se refiere a “Gems the duet collection”, álbum de covers que saldrá a la venta en junio y en el que comparte créditos con Seal y Chris Botti, entre otros. “Interpreto una canción que tocaré en Chile: “Pride, in the name of love”, de U2. Mucha gente no sabe que fue escrita para Martin Luther King Jr. y él fue un héroe para mí durante la infancia”.</p>
<p>Pero el artista se emociona cuando le mencionamos el dueto de la canción de Sting, “Fields of gold”, que interpreta junto a Eva Cassidy, una cantante que, tras morir a los 33 años de edad, alcanzó la categoría de artista de culto.</p>
<p>“Mucha gente no sabe quién es. Ella murió sin conocer la fama. Se presentaba en un pequeño club de Washington DC, llamado The Blues Alley, sola con su guitarra. Cuando la escuché me enamoré de su voz. Entonces surgió la idea de cantar sobre su versión de «Fields of gold»”, explica Bolton con emoción. Su gusto por Cassidy es tan grande que piensa revivirla mediante tecnología para incorporarla en sus futuros shows. “La tendremos en pantalla, cantaré con ella. Quiero que todo el mundo conozca su música”.</p>
<p>“Me gustaría grabar un disco con el productor de AC/DC”</p>
<p>Pese a que, junto a su amigo Kenny G, Bolton es representante de la música “easy listening” de alta carga sentimental, el cantante no tiene problemas en hablar de su pasado como metalero. De hecho, fue vocalista de la banda Blackjack y llegó incluso a telonear a Ozzy Osbourne. Más tarde también escribiría una canción llamada “Forever” para la banda Kiss.</p>
<p>“Muchas cosas han cambiado desde entonces. Por ejemplo, ya no sigo la música como solía hacerlo. Estoy de gira 8 meses al año y el resto lo dedico a componer. No escucho rock como antes”, ? confiesa Bolton. Pero lanza una revelación que podría devolverlo al mundo de las guitarras distorsionadas.</p>
<p>“Con Randy Jackson (ex bajista de Bolton y jurado de «American Idol») hemos hablado de la posibilidad de sacar un álbum de rock, con un dream team de músicos pesados. Queremos gente que toque bien en vivo y que también sean disciplinados en estudio. Me encantaría que lo produjera Robert Lange, responsable del disco «Back in black» de AC/DC y también de los álbumes de Def Leppard”.</p>
<p>Los románticos chilenos que no se alarmen porque Bolton no tocará música pesada este sábado. Será una velada romántica y cargada de recuerdos del pasado en la que el cantante tratará de comunicarse íntimamente con el público. “Me gusta estar atento al sentimi? ento de la audiencia”, explica. “En cualquier momento puedo mirar a mi guitarrista o a mi director musical y cambiar el set en medio del show. Es lo bueno de tocar en vivo”.</p>
