Take Me Home Tonight



I caught the aging Eddie Money in concert recently, and he did perform today's featured video song, but instead of Ronnie Spector singing the "Be my little baby" line, Eddie's 20 year old daughter Jesse, who has some nice pipes and is easy on the eyes sang along with Eddie. Eddie performed all of his classics for the fans saving "Shakin'" for the one song encore. He was twirling his tamborine from time to time and can still play a mean sax.

He also let Jesse (one of his five children) sing about three songs that I think will be on her soon to be released album. Anyway, before Eddie was old and flabby, here is the man born Edward Mahoney some 59 years ago as I choose to remember him as along with Ronnie Spector (of the old girl group The Ronnettes) in "Take Me Home Tonight"
