As far as unlikely collaborators go, I'd say these two are at the top of the list. Lady Gaga has written a track (or maybe a few) for Michael Bolton's "comeback" album.
Metro UK reports: "Bolton, 56, said it was Gaga who first approached him. And he was won over in just one listen of her catchy chart-toppers. 'I was taking a break from production when my manager and the labeltag-teamed me on the phone about writing with a young artist named 'Lady Gaga' who I had never heard of – but they were raving about -they said that she was a huge fan of mine and wanted to write with me,'Bolton revealed. 'No one I knew had heard of her,' he said. But Bolton was quickly wonover: 'Less than a minute into 'Just Dance', I thought 'this CD is gonnabe huge!"' He added: 'When I met her in the studio later that night, I realisedshe was not only about to have a big hit record but Gaga was asuperstar about to launch – her energy was so high and her focusexcited me. She reminded me of a young Madonna – with more exuberanceand emphasis on the art rather than the marketing.'"
