Benny Mardones - Never Run Never Hide 1980 POLYDOR T10 8-TRACK TAPE
Never Run, Never Hide was an album released in 1980 by pop-rock singer-songwriter Benny Mardones. It included his only major hit, "Into the Night", which peaked at number 11 in 1980, and re-charted nine years later, in 1989.
In 1989, a Where Are They Now? Arizona radio segment spurred Los Angeles DJ Scott Shannon to add the song to his playlist, ultimately rocketing the song back onto the national charts, on May 6, 1989. Mardones' recording peaked this time at No. 20 the first week in July, adding 17 weeks to its previous run of 20, to add up to a total of 37 (non-consecutive) weeks, breaking the record set by Laura Branigan with her single "Gloria", which charted for 36 (consecutive) weeks from July 1982 to March 1983, for the longest-charting single of the 1980s by a solo artist.
The track "American Bandstand" was written about the music TV show of the same name and the presenter/host Dick Clark. The song was performed on the show.
"Hold Me Down" was originally recorded and released on Mardones' 1978 debut album Thank God for Girls.
Benjamin Ruben Armand Mardones (November 9, 1946 – June 29, 2020) was an American pop/rock singer and songwriter noted for his hit single "Into the Night," which hit the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice, in 1980 (#11) and again in 1989 (#20).
