Rupert Holmes - Him (1979 Album Version) HQ
"Him" is a 1979 song written and recorded by American singer and songwriter Rupert Holmes. It was released in January 1980 as the second single from the album, Partners in Crime. The strings on the track were performed by The Gene Orloff Section. The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained at that position for two weeks. It was Holmes' biggest Adult Contemporary hit, peaking at #4 in both the United States and Canada. Holmes had always expected "Him" to be the lead-off single to Partners in Crime, but after record executives heard the album, they concluded that "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)", a song Holmes composed mainly as album filler and never expected to be a single, would be a major hit.
