AceShowbiz - Michael Bolton melted people's hearts with his hit ballads such as "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", which he originally co-wrote for Laura Branigan, but his music wasn't always that soft. During his earlier years, he chased success in the hard rock scene as the frontman of his short-lived band Blackjack.
Bolton gained his first major hit as a songwriter with "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". While Branigan's version was only a minor hit, he recorded his own version of the song and it went to claim the first spot on the Hot 100. He went on to perform more pop songs, including covers of Otis Redding classic "(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman".
