I've NEVER heard the VERSES on EDDIE MONEY - Take Me Home TONIGHT! Cigarette breath lol...

[@allenruss2976]

Now check out Ronnie Spectors Be my Baby(1963). That's her song in the chorus. Ronnie and the Ronnettes. Ronnie still looked good at 43

[@monkeygirl5346]

definitely need to listen be my baby!

[@tuffs4it]

Yeah, she did. As a teenager whenever this video came on my blood pressure rose.

[@gfaithowens1790]

Ok I think I read through most of the comments and can't believe no one has mentioned what was so cool about this song. "Ronnie" is of course Ronnie Specter and her terrible marriage to Phil Specter is the subject of a movie. But what I recall hearing on the radio was that Eddie had a very altruistic reason for this song and it's arrangement. Although "Be My Baby" in 1963, and her work as lead of The Ronettes should have left her reasonably set for life, Phil in addition to abusing her, also stole all her earnings. Here it was the 80s and she was very close to broke. He wrote this song and had her sing in the chorus so that she would earn part of the royalties. He saved her from near homelessness.

[@proudmoon3]

Yes, this! Black Pegasus, you need to listen to the song "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, a 60s girl group. Ronnie (the woman in this video) was the lead singer.

[@LibraAllWoman]

@gfaithowens1790 That's, absolutely, correct.

[@Mogogirl1967]

THIS THIS THIS

[@piedmontish]

Did I hear her say that money called her while she was at home cleaning her toilet and asked if she would be interested in singing this song and she burst out laughing! “Hell, yes!“ Another great one with a great video is “Shakin’”!!

[@gwydion56]

Eddie Money is not a one-hit wonder. 😄

[@creinicke1000]

20 years of hits.

[@ed.z.]

Truth.

[@jessicasmith5130]

Not even close to a one hit wonder

[@kevinshank512]

Ronnie is the lady singing Ronnie Spector

[@1bigrowdy]

Phil Spector's wife and member of girl band The Ronettes Ronnie Spector offering her fantastic voice

[@collinpillow4066]

Eddie had 23 songs in the Billboard Hot 100, with six in the Top 20, and two reached top 10. Loved his music!

[@ProfessorMystery77]

NOT a 1 hit wonder. And google Ronnie Spector…

[@chelseahaley8350]

Love Eddie Money!! 🙌 Two tickets to Paradise, I wanna go back, Walk on Water, & Baby hold on are all bangers!! That's Ronnie Spector, former nember of The Ronettes singing Be my little baby!

[@hk45c62]

What about SHAKIN?

[@sharonholsapple]

She is Ronnie Specter from the 60's!! She was married to the famed music producer/murderer Phil Specter!!! Eddie IS NOT a 1 hit wonder!!! He was a former NYPD officer!!

[@mlbw1966]

Thank God someone else knew the truth of the background BE MY LITTLE BABY ... Ronnie Spector of the Ronette's...my Mother putted that info to me Wisdom ❤❤❤❤

[@mlbw1966]

Thank God someone else know that's Ronnie Spector. Lead singers of the Ronette's. They sang BE MY BABY hit in 1963 64 B Pegasus reacted to the 1963 Ronette's... so I've been waiting lol til he reacts to Heuy Lewis and the News. Lol that's Ronnie singing the back up BE MY LITTLE BABY , Heuy introduces her .... "just like Ronnie said" ... that is Ronnie Spector singering and in his video .... Glad there is some brain with wisdom and reality. Luv Ya LOVED Huey I saw him in concert 1995 ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@joeykopack]

The original be my baby is actually a banger

[@ChefBarb58]

AND SPECTOR WAS KILLER.. TOOK A BEUTIFUL WOMAN. THOUGHT HE WAS ALL THAT.. THE WALL OF MUSIC ..I COULD OF DONE..

[@randywissler9923]

It's really urban legend about Eddie being an NYC cop, but he really wasn't. He was just a trainee that never went to the academy and worked as a clerk for 2 years. No real police powers or beat work or anything like that.

[@michellepearce5278]

That is Ronnie Spector. “Just like Ronnie sang”

[@honestone490]

One hit wonder? I think not. In 1987, Money was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for "Take Me Home Tonight". "I Wanna Go Back" and "Endless Nights"-two other singles from the Can't Hold Back album-peaked at No. 14 and No. 21, respectively. In 1988, Money released his Nothing to Lose album, which featured the Top 10 hit "Walk on Water" and the Top 40 hit "The Love in Your Eyes". Sadly we lost him way too soon.

[@aaroncoffman88]

I'm a country music fan and even I loved Money's music

[@elizabethfranco1284]

That Ronnie was the woman on the video. Be my Little Baby was her song from 1963 The Ronettes

[@kestrelle5345]

this

[@rons3634]

Two Tickets to Paradise was probably his biggest song. He was NOT a one-hit wonder.

[@marlew6629]

true dat

[@michaelvielhaber9342]

This song was his highest charting single, making it top 5. Two Tickets didn't even make top 20, not even the highest charting single on its own album. I would consider this song his biggest hit, but he had a bunch of hits.

[@huntercarter2073]

Baby hold on to me is beautiful. And it uses an augmented chord in the intro which is such a rarity in popular songs

[@Mr2012Ultra]

Ronnie is Ronnie Spectre from the Ronnettes

[@lisafolmar5321]

Also Shakin'.

[@michaelfredgren1342]

Take Me Home Tonight" is a song by American rock singer Eddie Money. It was released in August 1986 as the lead single from his album Can't Hold Back. The song's chorus interpolates the Ronettes' 1963 hit "Be My Baby", with original vocalist Ronnie Spector providing uncredited vocals and reprising her role.

[@davidw7]

Yes.... do the Ronettes iconic early 60s Motown with Ronnie singing lead "Be my Baby" The more LIVE looking at least performance. That song was Iconic 60s as this song was Iconic 80s and both are defining sounds of their decades as examples... at least Ronnie's for the Motown Do opp sound still part of it.

[@captainmoretokin2172]

and his kids are taking his legacy into the future. His first daughter is the lead singer i think.

[@cinb3448]

One of my all time favorites!! Eddie was a NY city police officer for 2 years before he decided to pursue music. So many hits, I think he took the right path!

[@user-yn1sf9mq3z]

a crazy dude from nyc told me billy joel and eddie money went to rival high schools and the fan bases are very competitive. do you know if there is any truth to what he told me?

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

FYI, Eddie was NOT a sworn in NYPD officer.. His dad was, but Eddie only worked at a police precinct, in an office capacity doing case filing work.. He never was a full fledged PD officer as many people think..

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

I think I’m In Love- Eddie Money. BP another banger from the early 80s from Eddie Money. Great reaction to this classic!

[@WyldPinky]

Eddie Money is incredible! One of my fav song is shakin'

[@matthewlaird5235]

The Ronnettes sang a great song in the 60’s called “Be My Baby” and Ronnie Specter was the lead singer.

[@barndude5562]

RIP to both of these music legends. Sadly, they have both left us. I'd do a deep dive into Eddie Money's catalogue. Shakin and Gimme Some Water are both great! So is Two Tickets to Paradise and Baby Hold On!

[@karensilvera6694]

He had 11 top 40 hits. So, no, not a one hit wonder. He also had a reality show, Real Money in 2017ish that ran for 2 seasons. Unfortunately he died in 2019 of esophagus cancer. He was a heavy drinker and smoker of all things. He was 70. He and his wife had 5 children.

[@karensilvera6694]

Oh my! I went to listen to Ronnie and just saw she passed in 2022. I didn't know. What a phenomenal star!

[@ssia6938]

Ronnie Spector is a legend. Her song Be my Baby was HUGE. Her girl group the Ronettes had the kids screaming in 1963.

[@MN_Cozy]

Yes!?? React to be my Baby by Ronnie Spector!!!

[@starlette570]

RIP Eddie - one of my all time favorites, check out his song "I Wanna Go Back". Bittersweet!

[@pollynicklas5220]

Two Tickets To Paradise, Walk On Water, I Wanna Go Back, Gimme Some Water(he said at a concert this song was a regional hit), others as well!

[@proudmoon3]

"Shakin'" is another banger.

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@proudmoon3 my fav.

[@ericwagner1824]

Gimme Some Water is FIRE

[@genghis1971]

Sadly Eddie Money is one of those artists who around for a long time and you don't remember how many songs he had. When he died, 3 of his songs came to mind but then more kept coming to me. I remember realizing that he had a deceptively strong career that just kind of flew under the radar throughout my life.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Ronnie Spector from the Ronettes check out Be My Baby!

[@lorirobinson511]

I've never seen somebody so obsessed about somebody who they'll never meet for smoking!

[@DianaMiceli-Billingsley-kj4ln]

Absolutely, like how many times was he going to mention coffee and cigarettes?? I just thought, like us fine a** women back then would even look at him twice with that uppity attitude? NO!

[@MotorcycleUS]

Exactly! Like enough about her smoking for 2 seconds in the video! Who gives a shite?!

[@Kayellen]

That was a deal breaker for me too!

[@cog4life]

Ronnie Spectre from the Ronnettes is the voice over female. Fire!

[@lostlothbrok7156]

I love this song and Ronnie Spectre is awesome ❤

[@TheTexasRedhead62]

[@chrisfrench9257]

Two Tickets To Paradise is another hit of his if you're wanting to check him out.

[@ToddPro]

Eddie was so underrated, he's got a lot of really great tunes

[@danaberman6929]

I saw Eddie Money in concert back in 1986. What a great concert. He has many great songs...!!!

[@aprildavis-washington5734]

One of my favorite songs of his is - I Think I'm In Love. Great song! Also, another great song by him is If I Could Walk On Water.

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Friend of mine used to jam in a garage in the early 70's with Eddie Mahoney, before he became Eddie Money. Yes, that's his real name. Also in that garage jamming was Martha Davis of the MOTELS.. Good times in Berkeley and Richmond, CA back in the day. I had the privilege of seeing Eddie in concert in San Jose, CA about 5 months before he passed away.. His very rough and wild lifestyle when he was a young rocker finally caught up with him physically.. What a great loss to the music world.. By the way when he says "just like Ronnie sang" he's referencing Ronnie Spector (walking in the video) of the female group The Ronettes, who had a hit song called "Be My Baby" with the lyrics "be my little baby" found within. Go watch Be MY Baby by "The Ronettes" and you will recognize the voice in this video..

[@melissacepeda3683]

"Just like Ronnie sang".... Ronnie specter she sang be my baby and in this song. So he was referencing her most famous song as she sang in this song. I think you will love Be my Baby by the Ronettes. I literally just had this conversation with my husband as we watched this video. He literally said who's Ronnie and I explained this to him. He didn't know either.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love this song and I love Eddie Money’s music! That’s Ronnie Spector from The Ronnettes singing with him! “Be My Baby” was a big hit for The Ronnettes! Check out his hit”I Wanna Go Back”!❤❤

[@creinicke1000]

I loved eddy money.. I actually liked his later songs better.. very deep meanings.. "I wanna go back" is one of my favorites.

[@user-mo6tz6oh9i]

I can't believe that this is YOUR first time hearing this song! This was very popular in the 80's. Awesome reaction to an iconic song! 🤙👍

[@TigerLily00]

Ronnie is from the Ronettes. "Be My Baby" from 1963. It was super exciting to have her do this song and video with him. Eddie is definitely not a 1 hit wonder. Hit 2 Tickets to Paradise next. You probably have heard that one, too. Baby Hold On To Me is also cool. Don't worry about Ronnie smoking. She wouldn't have been into you, either. 🤣🤣

This was awesome with Ronnie Specter! She is super! I randomly saw Eddie Money in a total dive bar in San Leandro CA a day or two before his Two Tickets To Paradise came out.

"Take Me Home Tonight" is a song by American rock singer Eddie Money. It was released in August 1986 as the lead single from his album Can't Hold Back.

[@astonsfan]

This is one of the smartest songs ever written.To take an old song and place it in a new one and get the singer from the old one to sing on it.....GREAT !!! I saw him a few times and he would come out and sing a few songs then thank the crowd for being there and letting him live his dream to be a rock star.

Sonny Bono and Cher were among the backing vocalists on the original 1963 recording of Be My Baby.

[@user-vv3tg5vt6n]

He a rabbit hole you need to check out

[@oswaldmontecristo1035]

Baby Hold On To Me off his debut album is one to plug into. His guitarist Jimmy Lyon is highly under-rated. He later was in the Greg Kihn Band and also played with Tina Turner. "Ronnie" is Ronnie Spector, who had a 60's hit song, "Be My Baby" with her all-girl band The Ronettes. Born Veronica Yvette Greenfield in 1942, she was also made famous by her marriage to music mogul Phil Spector in 1968 and divorce in 1974. Her career slid, and this song helped her revive her career with the reference in the song. Eddie Money also featured his family in a reality TV show called Real Money in 2018 on AXS TV. He passed away in 2019 of esophageal cancer.

[@kerryjacques3254]

Eddie Money wasn't a one hit wonder. He used to be known as Officer Edward Mahoney of the NYPD. The lady singing on the song with him was Ronnie Specter from the group The Ronnettes and she was previously married to Phil Specter. Both of them were great, but both of them are now deceased unfortunately.

Ronnie Spector was an American singer, actress, writer, and music department member. She was the lead singer of the 1960s girl group The Ronettes, known for their hits "Be My Baby" and "Baby, I Love You". The group's style included pencil skirts, thick mascara, and sky-high beehives. Passed away Jan 2022. Amy Winehouse took her look from Ronnie.

[@jrdlabs]

A Number One national hit. Originally, Martha Davis, lead singer for The Motels, very big at the time, was supposed to song the 'be my little baby' part. Eddie said..."we have to get Ronnie Spector", and they did. Ronnie sang lead for the Ronettes, an early 60's girl group whose biggest hit was "Be My Baby" (another #1 song) where she, famously, sang "be my little baby". Made the song. BTW, Eddie was former NYPD.

[@xcellent-records]

Ronnie.... is famous singer from the 1960's girl group The Ronettes who had a hit song "Be My Baby"... this song Take Me Home Tonight (Be My Baby) was almost like a mash up... the female was singing the melody of her hit song from the 1960s

Eddie has so many great tunes!

[@maryalbrecht5602]

Baby Hold on is a great song

[@BB-yh5rd]

Money had a bunch of songs you don't remember are great until they come on and it reminds you that Eddie has some great songs. Two Tickets to Paradise comes to mind. Some song like "I Want to Go Back" I think. I wasn't a dedicated follower of King of Queens but it would come on in the rerun slot and Eddie Money made a cameo in one of the episodes. Main character and his friend won some money and they decided to blow it on a private showing of Eddie Money. That was pretty funny.

[@jamesmcdaniel9601]

You should now check out I Wanna Go Back. Eddie Money is one of the greats. I didn't appreciate him when i was growing up. But his music is absolutely incredible.

[@kenrk]

The female singer is Ronnie Spectre from the "Ronettes" in the 60s. This is a homage to her hit "Be My Baby".

[@laurencaulton103]

This song features Ronnie Spector, girl-group legend. "Be My Baby" is the song being referred to and repeated. When she sings "be my little baby, whoa go ho..." That's "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes. That record, produced by Phil Spector, who became her husband, uses his "Wall of Sound" style.

[@toddellison5128]

Ronnie Spector was like 43 during this video. Cute story that goes something like this, "Eddie called to ask Ronnie if she would sing with him. She was like, no, I'm busy. She was washing dishes at home when he called, taking care of her kids. He convinced her to do this recording and we ALL got to enjoy it. It was one of my favorites when I graduated HS in 1986. ;-) Ronnie, by the way, while with the Ronettes, was sometimes referred to as the OG "bad girl of rock and roll."

[@jerrymiller2891]

Never was really into eddie money. Saw him at speed street in charlotte. He was drunk as a skunk but he never missed a beat. He was amazing. He is on my favorites list now. Rip. Eddie.
