Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in the summer of 1977 by Columbia Records. Although it did not reach Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart, it did spend a week in the issue dated September 17, 1977, at number 201 on the Bubbling Under the Top LP's chart,[3] which, according to Joel Whitburn, "listed albums that were on the rise in sales that did not quite achieve the sales necessary to make Billboard's main 200-position pop albums chart."[4] For its release in the UK, the album was entitled Sweet Surrender,[5] which was also the name of the song that was added on to the original track listing but had first appeared on his 1973 album Me and Mrs. Jones.[6] Sweet Surrender spent its one week on the UK album chart at number 55[7] but received Silver certification for sales of 60,000 units in the UK from the British Phonographic Industry on January 4, 1978.[8]
In 1995 the title track from the album was used in the film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar[9] but was not included on the soundtrack recording.[10]
