(Finished September 14th, 2019) A Tribute to Eddie Money, 1949-2019, His Best Songs

Hello,

Edward Joseph Mahoney (March 21, 1949 – September 13, 2019), known professionally as Eddie Money, was an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who had success in the 1970s and 1980s with a string of Top 40 songs and platinum albums. Money is well known for songs such as "Baby Hold On", "Two Tickets to Paradise", "Think I'm in Love", "Shakin'", "Take Me Home Tonight", "I Wanna Go Back", "Walk on Water", and "The Love in Your Eyes". Known for his husky voice and his blue-collar persona,[2] Money was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1987 for "Take Me Home Tonight". (Thanks to Wikipedia.org)

Not two of his finer moments, but still kinda funny:




A tribute to Eddie Money and clips of finding out about his stage 4 cancer.



I love when one artist pays tribute to another artist by covering his song in a non-ironic way. I hope that Carrie Underwood or Maddie and Tae pay tribute to the Money man when I see them in Salt Lake tonight. That would be very cool. Here classy and gravelly voiced Bryan Adams covers one of gravelly voiced Eddie Money's classics "Baby Hold On To Me":
