Aldo Nova plays on a cut from the cd "Back In My Arms Again". We played the heck out of this casette when it first came out. "She Did The Same Thing" was another big hit. We had a great college radio station that played so many great new artists. He had another hard rocker album called "Everybody's Crazy" from 1985, which is now out on cd. Then he hit it big with "Hunger" and off the hard rock train.
@carmital Are there any recordings of his earlier live performances during these years (apart from those 5 in Youtube uploaded by RawkTheNations and originalsin19)? I'm REALLY wanting to hear more of his earlier live performances.
@GoodGuitarSolos Honestly, I have no clue. This is the only song my friend and I ever got into and literally listened to it over 50 times, over and over again in my first car, a 74 Pontiac LeMans back in 1982.
I got into an argument with a guy from ZROCK about this album. They never knew Bolton did hard rock. Bob Kulick did the lead guitar. Don't recall the other musician's on album. Not one of rock's brighter moments.
/watch?v=qy2XMYh99js Michael Bolton-fans, check this one out: Bolton from early 80's as hard rocker. He sounds like mixture between Sammy Hagar and David Coverdale here, insanely awesome vocals.
/watch?v=kjj2LNuhhic Bolton's vocal range.
/watch?v=L72uh4u5WCw Another hard rock track by Bolton (he also had his hard rock band Blackjack, check them out)!
@headmonsterzero69 : If you have the original CD, from the early eighties, then you will notice that Aldo Nova plays some keyboards and also does some guitar work, on this disc with Bolton. Overall, it's a good CD, with more than a few catchy tunes on it. Also released just after this previously mentioned disc (that's just titled simply, "Michael Bolton") is another disc that is pretty good and has another catchy tune, the title track from "Everybody's Crazy". It was put out in 1985.
What pisses me off is that not one of his greatest hits/best of collections even have this song, if not only ONE. Gotta get this one from his 1983 S/T album at iTunes for 99 cents. I don't want his 1987-present soft rock stuff. I only want stuff from his earlier yrs.
@954cudaman Found it at iTunes. I only want 2 or 3 songs from the album. Wish the entire CD was posted at YT but Sony-BMG obviously won't have it. Damn RIAA!
@bucky468 Why buy only 2-3 songs at 99 cents each when you can have the Original Columbia 9 track release on CD with the artwork(all in mint shape) for less than $4? You will have the original which you can put on your IPOD or a friends endlessly.
I remember in 83 when this first came out on MTV! Wow-amazing! I never had heard of him(Bolton)before. I thought this song especially with his stage persona was fantastic. I expected great things from him&his band. Then he disappeared like many early 80`s one hit wonders of that era only to appear in the late 80`s with a totally different music style which earned him great success&a Grammy. I only wish he had stayed with the hard rock genre which lead to pop/glam/heavy metal as Bon Jovi did.
Great song..never saw the video until now. Looks like it was shot in the same place that Luke Skywalker fought Darth Vader in the Empire Strikes Back! I want the 80s back!!
I consider this tune to be the transitional song bridging his Blackjack years and his superstar ballad era. It peaked at #82 on the May 21, 1983 Hot 100 chart. He must have by this time changed his performing name to Bolton because people couldn't say his real name (Bolotin) correctly. It was 4 years after Blackjack's sole pop hit (Love Me Tonight) and 4 years before he resurfaced as the soft-rock crooner we all came to know.
Hey this is great.I remember this being the first time I'd heard of him back then...Whatever he sings-he's got the pipes to do it....even if some of it was kind of schmaltzy back in the day....At least he made a pile of cash;good for him.....
This is only "kick ass rock and roll" when compared to his other shit... I mean, this ain't gonna give Motorhead or Black Sabbath any sleepless nights... still pretty wimpy...
Actually, this whole album is awesome. It's difficult to tell people that you enjoy Michael Bolton's older stuff. Those people don't realize that he once ROCKED! Great tune here.
@Mr96tears Totally. Bolton's self-titled '83 album and Everybody's Crazy are two of rock's best kept secrets. Once I heard this song I instantly understood how prog purists feel about Genesis.
I remember it getting quite a bit of air play in Wichita in '83. Forgot about it, then heard it numerous times in Kansas City on 101 the Fox and KY 102 in the late '80s and early '90s. Bought the CD at Camelot in a sale bin, left it a my girlfriend's house, we broke up, never got it back, but luckily I found it again it a used CD place.
@scumbag1965 yea, the bullcrap soft shit made him alot of cash..do you really think he gives a fuck about what ya think??? make sure mommy makes your bed again....don't fuck with new haven conn.
@TXBluebird, Way back in 1983! I am NOT a Michael Bolton fan, but remember this song very well as they ran TV ads on his self-entitled album. I actually remember the ad slinging the album as "9 hard shots of straight-up, American rock and roll!" Ah, those were the days!
@TXBluebird -It peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in 5/28/83 at #82. Our album rock station played this alot in Indianapolis that late spring and summer,which kind of forced our top 40 station to play it as well(even though it didn't get national airplay). A friends brother wore the whole album cassette tape out. Right after this album,Bolton went mellow and didn't do any more rock songs.
This is the only Michael Bolton song I liked. After so many years and much more expanded tastes and knowledge, I have to say that this song is not that great. It is kind of cookie cutter of the era in which it was performed. It's like they were copying Aldo Nova. Aldo Nova had the skills on the guitar though.
Music since just before the grunge movement doesn't have any great guitarists who can do shredding solos anymore. Am I missing something?
I saw Michael in concert several times in the 90's and he never did this song. I always wanted to hear it "LIVE". I have the cassette and love the song !
No joke and you can research this....when Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi actually considered hiring Michael Bolton to replace OZZY. NO I'm NOT kidding
Ahhh the good music, I wish todays musicans would take lessions from these artists of the past and do music right instead of all the wierd stuff their doing. This was THE era of True good music take lessions and Learn, these are the God Fathers and mothers of Music for the Future...
Gotta agree with so many here. I really liked this song and remember it well when it came out in '83. Even played it on my college radio show! His best song , period. What followed was crap by comparison. Too bad he changed, although he made a ton of money with his truckload of ballads.
i think i actually saw this on mtv once. so if this was 1983, when (and for heaven's sake why, lol) or what year did he decide to drop this sound for sappy love songs. he's actually a few yrs. ahead of times with this song. light pop metal/hair band stuff started mid 80s.
I know this video since 1983(at 16 years old). I watched in a show called Disco Club in my country Peru, right after Cheap Trick's I want you to want me.............later came Dio
Yes sir!!! 1982. That's right ... before the sellout. No, but seriously, I guess the money wasn't there doing the rock n' roll thing .... sappy ballads anyone?
For a not too recent refresh check out "Hometown Hero" and "
to anyone who gives negative comments on his Pure Vocal abilities, maybe you should pull your head out of your ass, and listen to the range in his voice, he is an awesome vocalist, and i dont care what all you haters think, i have both of his albums from the early 80's and although almost all songs relate to somekind of relationship, he was an amazing singer, and his band had some pretty good players too !
@GranP I don't think you are being realistic. He sings like the back portion of his tongue is pushed further back in his throat the whole time. It's very limiting. I'm not a hater and this topic is going to be subjective unless you are an expert, but that has always been my perception of his vocals.
The vocals here rival any of the great rock singers and I saw this vid when it first came out and that THAT is kick ass. Haven't heard this since then. Talk about some nostalgia. Dude had pipes.
He sounds surprisingly like Eddie Money here. I love this song so much. I'd totally rock it driving down the highway under the streetlights late late at night.
@RockinRight I read an interview with Michael Bolton back in the 1990's. He said while he loved playing and singing rock, he was absolutely broke trying to support two daughters by working on being the next big rock act in the 1980's. With over 50 million albums sold, he found a niche that made and is still making him a lot of money. Last I read, the guy is still playing about 100-150 gigs a year. More power to him.
Pienso que Michael dejo de hacer canciones como esta porque necesitaba un cambio de direccion; no encontraba lo que esperaba (en cuanto a ventas) cantando este genero. De todas formas esta cancion me encanta y es mi favorita de este genero. Love you Michael!
I remember hearing this song back in 83 while growing up in N.J. Then you didn't hear anything from Bolton until he came out with that Dentist Office Music!
This song INSTANTLY got me hooked, then Everybody's Crazy. I recall a readup bio in Hit Parader magazine as well, or Circus. It was almost hard to believe this is the same guy. I have segments recorded from radio's Rockline interviews with Bolton back then!
OMG!!!! I had this video on a video cassette recorded over and over and over. I was IN LOVE with him,just from this kick ass song!!!!! I love this song, brings back sooo many great memories!
@navdad96818 Nah, I cannot possibly agree with your comment. have you listened to his newest stuff? It's amazing!! Go on I dare you, listen to his 'One world one love' album. You will love it.
this is my very favorite michael bolton song. i wonder how many of his fans know this song? my high school memories....i saw him sing this in providence right in front of me. then i got to have a pic taken with him! LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when you have a Tenor voice like Michaels~It's best to stop singing screaming rock and roll,your voice will burn out for good~This is great rock and roll but,I wouldn't want him to loose his beautiful voice~His ballets are as beautiful or even more than this~
I love Micheal Bolton"s Music! I've never heard this song ! Great tune!IF someone special Trying to send me a message? I made up my mind I'm waiting for You!ox!
Anyone remember when Bolton opened up for Whitesnake? Anyone remember people holding up signs that said "Bolton Rules?" Boy those were the days indeed!!
He still rocks ! I've seen him live. He's main goal is to make old ladies weep a little but he showed that he is still strong. And he has an impressive tenor voice too.
Dude, that ain't fucking funny, OK! I knew you were agreeing with me, but don't tell me to fuck myself when I didn't even mean to say anything offensive. Have a sense of humor for once and leave me alone!
I remember having the cassette tape of the album this song came from. It was one of my favorites. Later, I even bought it on CD. He was great before he turned into a pansy!

I remember hearing this song back in 83 while growing up in N.J. Then you didn't hear anything from Bolton until he came out with that Dentist Office Music!

He had another great song called She did the same Thing. Both were played on KLOS, I think he stopped doing rock when he began losing his hair.

This song INSTANTLY got me hooked, then Everybody's Crazy. I recall a readup bio in Hit Parader magazine as well, or Circus. It was almost hard to believe this is the same guy. I have segments recorded from radio's Rockline interviews with Bolton back then!

I didn´t know he ever sang songs like this one, powerful, not the shitty soul stuff he got into later on... I kinda like this!

This is the best song this guy ever did. Everything he did afterwards was just "cookie-cutter" fluff.

@navdad96818 I've thought the same thing for 25 yrs. He should have kept going in this direction.

SilverCloak09 2 years ago
when you have a Tenor voice like Michaels~It's best to stop singing screaming rock and roll,your voice will burn out for good~This is great rock and roll but,I wouldn't want him to loose his beautiful voice~His ballets are as beautiful or even more than this~

He didn't go to the dark side, the Michael Bolton you see nowadays is "Mirrored Bolton!"

He still rocks ! I've seen him live. He's main goal is to make old ladies weep a little but he showed that he is still strong. And he has an impressive tenor voice too.

One of my favorites by Bolton. Too bad he stopped rocking and started covering. His career could have been so different.
JannaMontanna 2 years ago
What a sell out this guy is. He used to rock. Then he started screaming and appeasing old ladies drinking glasses of wine with dinner.

Joe Lynn Turner did backing vocals on the album..As he did on Cher's three Geffen albums.....

Actually, JLT didn't appear on Bolton's first two albums, but they did hang around in the same circles. Another phenomenal vocalist.

Michael sounds like a soulful version of Paul Stanley in his early rock career, especially in this song.
