| Michael Bolton
is no fool, and when he broke through to platinum sales with
The Hunger, nobody had to tell him to record a follow-up devoted
to more of the same.
Bolton produced most of the record
himself, and he teamed with the cream of the era's romantic
rock ballad writers, people like Diane Warren (who gets five
co-credits here) and Desmond Child, while the R&B copy this
time was Ray Charles' version of "Georgia on My Mind."
He also reclaimed "How Am I Supposed
to Live Without You" from Laura Branigan. The result was five
Top 40 hits and millions of albums sold.
Maybe Bolton wasn't the king
of the hockey rinks, but his voice was now stoking the romantic
fires in bedrooms across America, which is nice work if you
can get it.
