Hootie on the Late Night show with David Letterman
November 19, 2018{September 2, 1994} A few months after CRV’s release, television host, David Letterman heard ‘Hold My Hand’ on the radio during his morning commute and was so impressed that he invited Hootie & the Blowfish to be guests on his late night show. Letterman introduced them by saying to his audience, “if you don’t have this album, there’s something wrong with you,” and Hootie followed with a live performance of ‘Hold My Hand’ for their first TV appearance!
Following the episode’s airing on September 2, Cracked Rear View weekly album sales more than tripled and the album continued to move up the Billboard 200 Album Chart!
