Who recorded the hit single "Hold On" in 1995?

Jamie Walters recorded the hit single “Hold On,” which became a major chart success during 1995. The song was his debut single and showcased the actor-singer in a polished pop-rock and adult-contemporary style.

“Hold On” was released in October 1994 as the lead single from Walters’s self-titled debut album, but its strongest chart activity and radio visibility continued into 1995. It reached No. 16 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. The music video was added to MTV playlists in February 1995.

The date can cause confusion: the single’s formal release year was 1994, while the question identifies it with 1995 because that was the year of its breakout chart run. Walters co-wrote the song with Stephanie Tyrell, Kevin Savigar, and Steve Tyrell, who also produced it. He was already known to television audiences, including for his role on “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
