"Hold Me Down" by Benny Mardones

Singer and songwriter Benny Mardones was a one-hit wonder in the 80s, but his best known song actually charted twice. "Into The Night" hit #11 in 1980 and then returned to the chart in 1989 and reached #20.

His hit song came from the 1980 record, "Never Run Never Hide," which should have spawned additional hits like "Hometown Girls" and this jamming rocker one, "Hold Me Down." But the album remains an underrated gem known only to AOR collectors.

Mardones would continue to flex his powerhouse vocals throughout the decade and beyond, but never got another single onto the charts. He could have been as big as Michael Bolton, but one Michael Bolton was enough.
