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 and Pendergrass' first single since his near-fatal 1982 car accident. It was released as the first single off Pendergrass' Love Language album and eventually became a top 50 US and UK success while also becoming a top ten hit on the US R&B and AC charts, giving Houston her first taste of success prior to the release of her self-titled debut album. The song also found international success in some European countries outside the UK. It's most notable for contributing to Houston being rejected for a Grammy Award nomination in the Best New Artist category.
