UK rhythm guitarist Ian Gomm had a hit in 1979 with this song, which was another in my long list of favorites for that year. The guitars and slick arrangements here give this track its own distinctive sound, which is just wonderful--I never get tired of listening to it. It's a pity that most people don't remember this awesome song, which was actually included in Ian Gomm's 1978 debut album Summer Holiday, that was retitled and remarketed as Gomm With The Wind, adding two extra tracks that weren't in Summer Holiday.

Hold On peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1979, but I really wished that it went higher.
