Dollar - Loves Gotta Hold On Me
Review by Fred Godefroy
Loves Gotta Hold On Me, the third studio album by British pop duo Dollar, was released in 1981. The album showcased the duo's signature sound of catchy pop melodies and upbeat disco rhythms, with a touch of new wave influences.
The album's title track, "Love's Gotta Hold On Me," was a hit single, reaching No. 4 on the UK charts. The song's infectious chorus and driving bassline made it an instant dancefloor favorite. Other standout tracks on the album include "Takin' a Chance on You," a romantic ballad with a soaring chorus, and "Tokyo," a synth-heavy track with a futuristic feel.

If only David knew then that he'd be working a burger van few decades later in Brighton.
Love these excellent group
Special song. I was around 11 or 12 and recording TOTP's on my cassette recorder beside the small b & w telly in my bedroom (& really discovering music). I always remember this song. It takes me back to that time....
Cute x
Love this song
Thereza has an amazing voice
Absolutely love this song! ❤️
My overriding memory of this record is watching Dollar on Top of the Pops and wanting to thump David Van Day for doing googly eyes with Thereza Bazar.
