Hold On - Performed by Jennifer Holliday - Music & Lyrics by Lewis Flinn

“You gotta hold on, don’t let go- in the morning when the lights are low”!  For all of us who wake up in the middle of the night, wondering when things will start getting better, this is for you! 

The legendary Jennifer Holliday recorded this song back in 2002 (and then I did a different version for “Lysistrata Jones” several years later but we used this track as a “Bonus” on the cast album).  The amazing background vocals on this track were arranged by Biti Strauchn (who was also the “featured vocalist” in the Lysistrata Jones B’way band).  An interesting side note- when Jennifer recorded this song, she sang only to a dummy piano version and a click track.  I then produced the track around her, added the band and drums, and finally the background vocals around her ad libs.
