Career

In 1975, Bolton began recording at The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bolotin, his original family name, was used in this first album. Early in his musical career, he concentrated on hard rock, with his band Blackjack opening for heavy metal artist Ozzy Osbourne on tour. Bolton auditioned for, but was turned down, the lead vocalist position with Osbourne's former band, Black Sabbath, in 1983. "It's rumors that I auditioned for Black Sabbath was only a rumor," Bolton said later.

He became a big hit as a writer after anglicizing his family's name to Bolton, writing "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" for Laura Branigan, who was once best known for singing the pop hit "Gloria." Branigan, who narrowly missed out on the top ten on the US pop chart, rose to the top of the Adult Contemporary chart for three weeks in 1983. Both men wanted to work together again, and they were able to co-wrote "I Found Someone" for Branigan in 1985. Cher's version was just a minor hit, but two years later, she resurrected the song, this time in the form of her first singing career. Both singers co-wrote several others. In 1988, Bolton performed his own version of "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," a hit on the Hot 100.

Bolton's greatest success came in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a performer on the adult contemporary/easy listening charts. "Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" was one of his first major hits for Otis Redding's 1987 rendition. Zelma Redding, Redding's widow, said she was so moved by Bolton's appearance 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." Bolton's popularity with that album prompted him to tackle the classic "Georgia on My Mind," which was his second hit.
