You may recall that we ended last month’s Video Video by commenting on the fact that that VH-1, the “adult contemporary” counterpart of MTV, seemed to have had S a real hand in helping turn Simply Red’s ‘‘Holding Back The Years” into a national hit. The song, which came out last fall, had been considered dead by all the usual industry standards but, true to its lyrics, it did indeed ‘‘keep holding on”— thanks, in no small measure, to the fact that VH-1 kept the tune in its rotation months after its Release—and, eventually, the song caught a following and began its slow but steady rise to the Top 10.
