About The Record:

Hold Me was Laura Branigan's fourth album. The lead single, Spanish Eddie, was her sixth top 40 hit in two and a half years. A splashy video, featuring a newly-svelte Branigan, was a hit on the various music video programs of the day (NBC's Friday Night Videos, TBS' Night Tracks and USA's Night Flight among the biggest), but it was never in heavy rotation on MTV. The following single release, Hold Me, was a dance hit and her introduction of the rock ballad I Found Someone (co-written by Michael Bolton) reached even higher on the AC chart, the song would later become a top 10 single recorded by Cher in 1987. Despite the weak sales, the album has many of her fan-favorite songs. Not only did she continue to perform Spanish Eddie in concerts throughout her career, but she began a lifelong tradition of closing every show with an encore of Forever Young, the ballad that was later made a cult hit by the German band Alphaville.
