A onetime hard rock singer with a distinctively raspy voice and four-octave range, Michael Bolton rose to superstardom by refashioning himself as a blue-eyed soul singer. He did so by reviving such '60s R&B standards as Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman" as well as by introducing soul-pop hits of his own, including 1989's "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Bolton went on to dominate the adult contemporary airwaves during the early and mid-'90s, racking up a series of number one AC hits that also peaked in the upper reaches of the Hot 100. He went all the way to number one on the Billboard album chart with 1991's Time, Love & Tenderness – a set of two covers and eight originals – and the next year's Timeless: The Classics, which consisted entirely of covers. The hit singles slowed in the late '90s, but he continued to successfully tour and record, scoring the occasional hit album, such as 2006's Bolton Swings Sinatra and 2013's Ain't No Mountain High Enough: A Tribute to Hitsville U.S.A. Bolton was still a factor on the Billboard 200 by the arrival of his 24th studio album, Spark of Light – his first all-original outing.
