Mel Carter cut "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" for Imperial in 1965, and it gave its name to his album that year. Harry Noble's song had been around since the early '50s, but Carter, a singer who also acted, made it his own so thoroughly that his is the version most people know, a plea spelled out right there in the title and sung like he means every word of it.
It stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for 15 weeks and rose as high as number eight, went all the way to the top of Billboard's Easy Listening chart, and in Canada reached number two on the RPM Play Sheet and number four on the CHUM Hit Parade.
