1980 Jackson Browne – Hold Out
Hold Out is the sixth album by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, released in 1980. Although critically the album has not been as well received as other Browne recordings, it remains his only album to date to reach number 1 on the Billboard chart.
The song “Of Missing Persons” was written for Inara George, the daughter of Lowell George (formerly of the band Little Feat), a songwriting collaborator and longtime friend of Jackson Browne’s who died a year prior to the release of Hold Out. The phrase “of missing persons” was derived from a line in a Little Feat song, “Long Distance Love”.
The album was certified as a Gold and Platinum record in 1980 by the RIAA. It reached Multi-platinum in 2001
