Michael Bolton

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Grammy Award-winning artist Michael Bolton will perform during the NAB Education Foundation's 17th annual Celebration of Service to America Awards, held tomorrow, June 16 at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. The gala recognizes radio and television broadcasters for outstanding service to their local communities.

Michael Bolton is a multiple Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and social activist, who has sold more than 55 million records worldwide. Bolton is also committed to humanitarian causes through the Michael Bolton Charities, now in its 22nd

year.

In recognition of his artistic achievements, Bolton won two Grammys for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance (nominated four times), six American Music Awards and a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As a songwriter, he has earned more than 24 BMI & ASCAP awards, including Songwriter of the Year, nine Million-Air awards, and the Hitmakers Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Bolton has written songs with some of the greatest and most diverse talent of our time, including Bob Dylan, Paul Stanley, Lady Gaga, Diane Warren, Desmond Child, David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, and “Mutt” Lange. Bolton's songs have been recorded by KISS, Marc Anthony, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Kanye West, Jay Z and other renowned artists.

Bolton’s songs and performances have been featured in numerous television and film soundtracks, including the Oscar-nominated theme song “Go the Distance” from Walt Disney’s blockbuster animated film “Hercules” and the forthcoming Russell Crowe film “Fathers & Daughters.”

Recently, Bolton became a viral video sensation in The Lonely Island’s Emmy-nominated video, “Captain Jack Sparrow” that launched on “Saturday Night Live” and has racked up nearly 140 million views on YouTube. Bolton has made comedic appearances in several episodes of CBS’s hit series “Two and a Half Men” as well as the FOX network hit show “Glee,” HBO’s hit series “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” and ABC’s new series “Repeat After Me,” executive produced by Ellen Degeneres. He is also featured in TV campaigns for Honda, Starburst and Optimum and has ongoing campaigns with American Greetings.

As previously announced, this year's Celebration of Service to America Leadership Award will honor renowned actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise for his ongoing commitment to raising awareness and support for veterans. Host of the nation's top-rated syndicated newsmagazine "Inside Edition" Deborah Norville will serve as master of ceremonies.

Members of Congress and other officials will serve as award presenters, including Senators Richard Burr (NC), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Rob Portman (OH), Thom Tillis (NC) and Ron Wyden (OR); Representatives Keith Ellison (MN-05) and Jim McDermott (WA-07); and Federal Communications Commissioners Michael O'Rielly and Ajit Pai.

Hi Robin, OK, the least complicated way for you to retrieve the video is to go to this page:

http://www.michaelbolton.com/forum/topics/michael-in-the-studio-in-...

Scroll down the page where Gail posted: she attached the video as an attachment to her post. The title of the video starts with the number 43 and ends with mp4, so I think you need to have ITunes on your computer. Good luck sweetie, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie :D

'As usual, girl, I've not been able to retrieve these videos yet. Like you, I'm techno illiterate. Thanks girl. I really appreciate all you send to us. Oh! well! Darn. Would have love to have seen those videos.

Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while since we’ve had interesting news outside of Michael’s touring schedule, but here it comes. Sylvia caught a tweet from Michael:

"Michael Bolton ‏@mbsings  7h7 hours ago

Sneak peek of recording session!I'm gonna do a live stream tonight on http://www.whosay.com/l/iTeaEWT  @MBsings tune in & chec… http://www.whosay.com/l/QpbaEWU

"

tune in & chec…

“

Sylvia says Michael has also done a FIRST "Periscope" video of himself live in studio last night.  Periscope is a new app for cell phones but it can also be broadcast on Twitter by the user and it allows them to video themselves and show it live as in a livestream facility.  The video is on his FB page:

https://www.facebook.com/MBsings?fref=ts

Heehee, Michael’s video is a test and more a tease than anything, but it’s fun that he’s trying new things. Being tech-challenged myself, I hope dinosaurs will have access to the videos too. :D That’s the news for now. Thanks for reading, sincerely, Sylvie :D

Hi everyone, I have  a couple of items of interest today. First, from last Sunday April 26th's John Varvato’s 12^th annual Stewart House benefit event, here’s a video interview Michael did on the red carpet:

http://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/video/michael-bolton-on-the-event-...

...and here’s another 10 second video:

http://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/vid%C3%A9o/michael-bolton-at-the-j...

Now my second item is the polar opposite of seriousness. Gail posted this on the “Miscellany” thread. First, a short article with picture, tying in with today’s release of Marvel’s “The Avengers, Age of Ultron” film, where someone had the idea of casting 90’s celebrities in Avengers roles. It’s all in fun and I personally loved that they cast our Michael as Thor, since he was always my favourite Avenger as a child... :D Here are the links to the short blurb on Michael and second, the complementary article and link:

 

The Avengers As '90s Pop Stars Is OBVIOUSLY Something You Want To See- Michael Bolton as Thor. That's all you really need to know.:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/30/avengers-90s-pop-stars_n_7...

If 90's Pop Stars Were Cast As The Avengers

Hope you enjoy. That’s the news for now, thanks for reading, sincerely, Sylvie :D

Hi everyone, Michael was among the A list celebrities to attend the opening of the John Varvatos' store in Detroit April 17. Here’s an article Sylvia shared with us:

http://opportunitydetroit.com/blog/rockin-varvatos-party-attracts-a...

Most likely, there should be some footage of it in Michael’s documentary. BTW, here’s a link where you can see/hear and even download video clips of the event:

http://www.image.net/JVDetroit

For Robin R, you need to click on “play” to hear a montage of video clips. It takes a few seconds to hear, but you do hear Michael speak in a couple of clips. There’s also a press release and many pictures for the sighted. :D That’s the news for now. Thanks for reading, sincerely, Sylvie :D

Hi Sylvie, Loved it. I had to really laugh at the last part how he put all those words in to end the song. :) Thanks.

Comment by sylvie boisvert on April 13, 2015 at 5:40pm

Hi everyone, well here’s something our Michael had apparently been keeping under his hat for a while. Michael was on “Last week Tonight with John Oliver” on HBO, in an interesting funny segment about the IRS last night. The entire segment, including about 13 minutes of John Oliver’s report is here on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_Zln_4pA8&feature=youtu.be

Michael’s rewritten version of “How am I supposed to live without you” song to the IRS ends the segment. Most of only the song can be found  here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_Zln_4pA8#t=864

...and a bit more of it at the end of the program is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tktWrakWz4&feature=youtu.be   ... 

Finally, this is for those who can’t access YouTube:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1-HG5giVb1AX2lmZkE4bDB3bUk/view?p...

   Thanks to Sylvia, Petra and Florin who shared these links on this site and Facebook. That’s the news for now, thanks for reading, sincerely, Sylvie :D

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I had something important to post, but here goes. Michael and Chideo are offering the chance to go see him in Trinidad and  Tobago, be serenaded by him, get an M&G and more! Here’s the link to all details:

https://www.chideo.com/experiences/michael-bolton-concert?utm_sourc...

The contest is open until April 28, you have to donate to MBC through Chideo to enter and it’s void in a list of places, including Quebec Canada: quelle surprise! At least I enjoyed the video presenting the contest:

That’s the news for now, thanks for reading, sincerely, Sylvie :D
