The story behind

Hold Me, according to DoReSol

The song Hold Me, with its duration of 6:02, was recorded with the participation of Michael Mancini as recording engineer, while Guy Charbonneau and Bill Schnee were responsible for the mixing. The overall production was handled by Michael Masser. This piece is part of Whitney Houston's debut album, released in 1985. Although the album had a quiet start, it experienced a significant boost in 1986, driven by three singles that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100: Saving All My Love for You, How Will I Know, and Greatest Love of All. This album became the most successful of Whitney Houston's career, selling 30 million copies.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston, born in Newark in 1963 and passed away in Los Angeles in 2012, was a multifaceted artist who spanned genres such as R&B, soul, pop, blues, and gospel, in addition to excelling as an actress, songwriter, and businesswoman. Recognized for her impressive vocal range, she earned the nickname "The Voice". Her career was marked by a deep influence from soul singers like her mother, Cissy Houston, and her cousins Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick, as well as her godmother Aretha Franklin. Her talent was discovered by Clive Davis, president of Arista Records, while she was singing with her mother in New York nightclubs. Whitney Houston is considered one of the best-selling artists worldwide, with over 170 million records sold including albums, singles, and videos.
