The Hunger (Michael Bolton Album)
''The Hunger'' is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Michael Bolton. It was released in 1987 by Columbia Records, his third for the label. It became his breakthrough album, producing his first two Top 40 hits, the ballad "That's What Love Is All About" and the Otis Redding cover " (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay". Zelma Redding, the widow of Otis Redding, said Bolton's performance of "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" moved her so much "that it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me so much of my husband that I know if he heard it, he would feel the same." In a framed letter that hangs on the wall of Bolton's office, she called the record "my all-time favorite version of my husband's classic." The album marks a transition from the hard rock and arena rock stylings of his previous work into a softer more pop oriented direction, a transition which would be continued and furthered on his subsequent studio albums. Several songs from this album feature Journey ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Everybody's Crazy
''Everybody's Crazy'' is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Michael Bolton. The album was released in 1985 by Columbia Records.

It was reissued overseas in the mid-1990s with a then-current photo on the cover. The album was reissued on February 25, 2008 by Rock Candy Records, UK on CD with a 12-page full colour booklet with original and new artwork.

However, the title track was included on Bolton's entry in the ''Playlist'' series of Greatest Hits compilations. Background Producer Neil Kernon described how he became involved with the album: "Well, I got a call from Michael's manager asking m ...

As of 2021, the OCC still only tracks how many UK Top 75s album hits and how many weeks in Top 75 albums chart each artist has achieved. To qualify for the Offi ...
