Time, Love & Tenderness is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Michael Bolton. The album was released on April 23, 1991, by Columbia Records; it was produced by Walter Afanasieff and Michael Bolton. To date, the record has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album of his career.

The album topped the Billboard 200 chart and produced four Top 40 singles: a cover of Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Love Is a Wonderful Thing” reached No. 4, “Time, Love and Tenderness” reached No. 7, and “Missing You Now” reached No. 12. All four singles reached the Top 40 in the UK as well, as did a fifth single released only in the UK, “Steel Bars”, which was the result of Bolton’s songwriting collaboration with Bob Dylan.
