Ballads derive from the medieval French "chanson balladée" or "ballade", which were originally "danced songs". Ballads were particularly characteristic of the popular poetry and song of the British Isles from the later medieval period until the 19th century. They were widely used across Europe, and later in the Americas, Australia and North Africa.

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., Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format released in 1982 and co-developed by Philips and Sony. The format was originally developed to store and play only sound recordings but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM). Several other formats were further derived from these, including write-once audio and data storage (CD-R), rewritable media (CD-RW), Video Compact Disc (VCD), Super Video Compact Disc (SVCD), Photo CD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced Music CD.

Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it has remained the standard format for vinyl albums., Branigan is the debut album by American singer Laura Branigan, recorded in 1981 and released in March 1982 on Atlantic Records. , Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at  rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century album sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used from the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl., MPEG-1 and/or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression.

Two hit singles emerged from the album , the dramatic Martine Clemenceau `` Solitaire '' and her introduction of the ballad `` How Am I Supposed to Live Without You '' . The album improved performed better in the charts than her first album in the U.S. , Australia and Japan , and Allmusic later wrote that `` Laura Branigan 's full , expressive voice shows serious growth '' on `` a much more cohesive collection '' than her debut , commenting that `` this album does n't waste a single track '' . In addition to establishing Branigan as more than a one - hit wonder after the major success of `` Gloria '' months before , her second album 's two big hits began the careers for two then - unknowns who themselves became industry legends . While `` Solitaire '' was originally a French song , its English version provided the first major hit for lyric writer Diane Warren , who co-wrote many of Branigan 's early songs . Allmusic noted that the song , `` with its quiet beginnings and pull - out - all - the - stops finale , shows off just what chops this singer has '' . The second single from Branigan 2 was the ballad `` How Am I Supposed to Live Without You '' , which was the first major hit for its co-writer , Michael Bolton , beginning for him a successful sideline as a songwriter . He later wrote three more songs for Branigan . While `` How Am I Supposed To Live Without You '' barely missed the Top Ten on the pop charts , it spent three weeks at Number One on the adult contemporary airplay charts . Allmusic called Branigan 's version `` far superior '' to Bolton 's own hit cover from 1989 , `` simpler , prettier , and ( showing ) shades of emotion at which Bolton could only hint '' . Branigan 2 also included the ballad `` Find Me '' , uptempo tracks `` I 'm Not The Only One '' and `` Do n't Show Your Love '' , and a cover of The Who 's `` Squeeze Box '' . One of the album 's tracks , `` Deep In The Dark '' , was a newly written song to the music of Falco 's `` Der Kommissar '' .
