Whitney Houston - Hold Me

About "Hold Me"

"Hold Me" is a ballad duet performed by American singers Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston. The song was originally recorded solo by Diana Ross for her 1982 album Silk Electric under the title "In Your Arms", with slightly different lyrics. The Pendergrass and Houston version appears on Pendergrass's eighth studio album Love Language (1984) and Houston's self-titled debut album (1985). It was written by Linda Creed and Michael Masser and production overseen by Masser. "Hold Me" was the first single release of Houston's career.

In the US, the song became a top five hit on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. It was a top thirty hit in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the Flemish region of Belgium. Houston delivers the song with both soft and soaring vocals. Ron Wynn of AllMusic highlighted this song when reviewing Pendergrass's album in 1984 and called it a good duet. With this song being released in 1984, Houston was ineligible for the nomination of Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 28th Grammy Awards in 1986, the year after her own debut album was released.
