ong information

By the Summer of 1989 Tiffany's popularity was dwindling in the USA and Europe. The American leg of her "Hold an Old Friend's Hand World Tour" ended up being headlined by New Kids on the Block, meaning Tiffany was the supporting artist. In Asia, however, Tiffany and the tour were more popular than ever. Another reason for the strong backlash may have been that a lot of her fans were turning against her because she was dating Jonathan Knight from NKOTB. Tiffany attempted to make the song a hit by performing it on several U.S. TV shows, but unfortunately for Tiffany the song failed to make a crack on any U.S. charts. Although it did peak at #27 on the Adult Contemporary Chart

"Hold an Old Friend's Hand" is 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. Although it is an unusual song to be sung by a 17 year old (Tiffany's age at the time), as its lyrics seem to be sung from a perspective of many years' experience.
