The Hunger, by Michael Bolton, was released January 1, 1987 on the Columbia label. This was his breakthrough album, with the hits "That's What Love Is All About" and the Otis Redding cover "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."

Several songs from this album feature Journey members Jonathan Cain on keyboards, Neal Schon on guitar, and previous member from their Raised on Radio '86-'87 tour Randy Jackson (of American Idol fame) on bass. During this time, there were rumors that Bolton might have been in the running as Journey's new lead singer after Steve Perry's initial departure from the band in early '87.

Also along for this album on certain tracks was then-current Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick.
