Hold An Old Friend's Hand

Hold an Old Friend's Hand is the second regular studio album by Tiffany, released in November, 1988 (see 1988 in music). It was reasonably successful, with a platinum certification, peaking at #17 on the U.S. charts and yielding one top-ten single ("All This Time") and another in the top 40 ("Radio Romance"); however, it didn't equal the multiplatinum success of her first album, which had two #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

In her summer tour, where she was to once again have the New Kids on the Block as her opening act as she did the year before, the sudden popularity of the New Kids caused their roles to be reversed, with Tiffany opening for them, although they were officially billed as co-headliners.

The title track was actually a cover, though the original version (released by Tracy Nelson in 1974) was not famous enough to be widely known. It was written by Donna Weiss, who also co-wrote "Bette Davis Eyes", a hit for Kim Carnes (another artist for whom Tiffany's manager/producer George Tobin has produced records). It was an unusual song to be sung by somebody so young (Tiffany was 17 at the time), as its lyrics seem to be sung from a perspective of many years' experience.

"Hearts Never Lie" is a duet with Chris Farren, who went on to some country music success.

The final track, "Overture", is an instrumental acoustic guitar performance by Grant Geissman. It includes the tunes to several of the songs from this album, and is an unusual track to have on a "teen bubblegum pop" album, especially since Tiffany is not even involved in the track.

Tiffany Renee Darwish出生于1971年10月2日美国加州，幼时父母离婚，这名红发女孩从小就开始到处演唱。1983年她遇到伯乐──音乐制作人George Tobin，隔年后者成为她的经纪人，86年与MCA签约灌录首张专辑 ，87年发行，二单登上英美冠军一举成名，专辑也得到后座卖了数百万张，她成为热门青少年偶像。

继首专登上冠军后座在美热卖4x白金的销量后，Tiffany成为风靡世界的Teen Idol。1988年秋天趁热打铁推出第二张大碟〔 Hold An Old Friend's Hand 〕依然走Teen Pop，但比上张更加宽广成熟。专辑在美国排行榜上排名第17 位，并打出了Top10、Top40的两首热单，然而相比首专并没有延续其优秀的商业成绩。
