Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953),
known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and
songwriter. Bolton originally performed in the hard rock and heavy metal genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo
albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. He became better known for his
series of pop rock ballads,
recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.
Bolton's achievements include selling more
than 75 million records, recording eight top 10 albums and two number-one
singles on the Billboard charts, as well as winning six American
Music Awards and two Grammy Awards.
When a Man Loves a Woman is one of the most
popular love songs of all time composed by Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright and
recorded by Percy Sledge and released in 1966. The hit was inspired by the end of the
relationship between Percy and his girlfriend, who tried a modeling career. The
song has already been re-recorded by several artists such as Michael Bolton,
Karen Dalton, Johnny Rivers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny Rogers, Art Garfunkel,
among others.

When a man loves a Woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin'else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd given up all his comfort
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on to your precious love
Baby, baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause, baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman (repeat...)
