The story behind
The energy of Don’t Let Him Go, with its duration of 3 minutes and 46 seconds, is felt in the way it was constructed. The main arrangement of this piece was handled by Kevin Cronin, who also collaborated on production alongside Kevin Beamish, Alan Gratzer, and Gary Richrath. The sound engineering, crucial for capturing that power, was carried out by Kevin Beamish, Tom Cummings, and Jeff Eccles.
This track is part of REO Speedwagon's ninth studio album, titled Hi Infidelity. Released on November 21, 1980, by Epic Records, the album became a phenomenon in the United States. It reached the number one spot on the Billboard 200 and remained there for 15 weeks, a notable achievement. Hi Infidelity was the best-selling album of 1981 and received a 10-times platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. Singles from this album included Take It on the Run, which reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Keep On Loving You, the band's first number one. The album title, Hi Infidelity, is a play on words with the expression "in high fidelity," which used to appear on record covers.
