abstract
  • %22Baby Can I Hold You%22 is the third single released by the American contemporary folk artist Tracy Chapman, released in late 1988. The song reached the top fifty in the United States, unlike its predecessor, %22Talkin' 'bout a Revolution%22, but it failed to become Chapman's second top forty hit, peaking at #48. It did, however, give her a second chart entry on the US Adult Contemporary charts, peaking at #19 in early 1989. (Her first adult contemporary hit was %22Fast Car%22, which reached #7 on the AC charts.) Given the commercial decline Chapman suffered following the release of her second album Crossroads, %22Baby Can I Hold You%22 also became her last top fifty hit until 1996's %22Give Me One Reason%22. Neil Diamond recorded the song for his 1989 album, The Best Years of Our Lives and became the first of many artists to cover the song. Chapman subsequently re-recorded the song as a duet with Luciano Pavarotti for the CD Pavarotti and Friends for Cambodia and Tibet. And it was re-released as a single in promotion of the hits package Collection which reached #3 in the United Kingdom in 2001.In 1989 for the song was notably covered by Jamaican Reggae singer Sanchez which became a staple in dance clubs internationally and still widely played on America urban radio stations.
