Brooklyn’s Eddie Money gave up a career in the New York City Police Department to play music. Money burst onto the scene with his eponymous debut album in 1977. Fans immediately fell in love with Money’s sound, and the album, which went double platinum, featured hits like “Baby Hold On” and “Two Tickets to Paradise.” Money followed the success of his debut album with a stream of Top 40 hits, as well as some of the era’s most creative videos for songs like “Think I’m in Love” and “Shakin.” In 1986, Money released Can’t Hold Back, which featured the classic, Grammy-nominated duet with Ronnie Spector, “Take Me Home Tonight.” The song reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went platinum and also featured the hit “I Wanna Go Back.”
In addition to maintaining a busy touring schedule, Money has been featured on hit television shows such as The King of Queens and The Drew Carey Show. In recent years, Eddie has been joined on tour by his daughter, Jesse Money, a talented and charismatic vocalist has chosen to follow in her father’s footsteps.
As the years have passed, Money’s blue-collar brand of rock and roll has managed to transcend generations and continues to move audiences today. Along with having sold more than 28 million records, Money’s songs have appeared in dozens of movies and television shows, and have recently been included in hit video games like Grand Theft Auto and Guitar Hero.
