THE UNRELEASED & RELATED

Baby, Hold On (Penridge/Criss Alliance, 1985)

---

Track Notes:
** The Penridge-Criss Alliance set up in Nashville in early-1985 to record a series of demos. While Peter's involvement in the band would soon cease, severing his relationship with Stan Penridge, this would one of the songs he would record lead vocals for. Produced and written by Stan "Doc" Penridge the demo would be recorded at Cinderella Studios in Madison, TN in early 1985. Peter Criss sings lead vocals and plays precussion. Band consisted of Stan Penridge (Vocals, Guitar), Alan Woody (Bass), Benny Harrison (Synthesizer, Keyboards, Vocals), and Tony Mercadante (Guitar, Vocals). Not a rocker, neither was the song soft, building more off tradition R&B energy and style. This song dated from a batch of compositions Stan had written in 1979.

[Verse]
Tell me you love me
Oh, show me you care
As long as you need me
I'll be there
As long as this feeling
Oh, keeps burning on
As long as we keep it...
Going strong

[Chorus]
Oh, baby hold on (baby hold on)
Just hold on to me, oh, hold on
Oh, never let go
Just hold on to me, oh, hold on

[Verse]
So tell me tomorrow
I'm gonna be the same
Tell me that nothing's...
Gonna change
So honey believe me
Oh, take this one last chance
By me it's really
True romance, yeah

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Oh, baby hold on (Won't ya hold on)
Just hold on to me, oh, hold on
Oh, never let go
Just hold on to me, oh, hold on
