Ronnie's Voice was so unique. No one sounded like her. Absolutely legendary sound.

[@deadred80]

Uh ? If you say so ... I mean She sounds like I'd imagine a 50 plus year old smoker to sound to be honest .Same with eddie money. Not saying I don't like the song as it is a song from my childhood and brings back so many memories .However There are and have been far better duets in the history of rock and roll music .

[@tita4ewaz]

This song never gets old, 80’s 4 ever 💙

[@randallreid424]

If i could turn back time I would find my way back to the 80s I don’t know why I did the things I did but if I had a chance I’d do it all over again, my very first bootleg was of Eddie Money and it was this tour from Pittsburgh and the tape didn’t last very long I believe I played it until it came out of my cassette deck on it’s own

Just after I turned 60 last year, I have realized that most of my best years are behind me and time is closing to an end soon. Looking at these two great artists sing is a great joy. They remind me of those good old days. Sadly they are gone now. Life is truly short. Don’t waste time thinking it will last. It don’t. Get all the things done that you want done. Travel, learn a new language. Experience all that you need to do. Because in the end, time is all we have left and for some it’s not enough. RIP Eddie and Ronnie..

[@c.t.4837]

I get sad thinking about how we can never go back to this ❤

[@FloridaManRacer]

I'd check out the Retrowave music genre if I were you... The midnight, FM 84, Timecop 1983, Sunglasses Kid and a LOT more are putting a fresh face to the 80's sound and have been for a few years now. It can never be exactly the same, but these bands are giving us Gen X and Xennials a small piece of it back.

This performance of THIS song should be Rock and Roll Legend. The band and the vocals are just spectacular. What a combination. I have watched the video many, many times. It NEVER gets old.

[@krysti2]

My sentiments exactly 💯

[@thestraydawgs]

I also think that Dave Letterman has not received enough credit for having great music and musicians on his show. In addition to well known artists, he also had many great singer song writers on that not many people knew about. He gave them a chance to be in the limelight. @@krysti2

He’s not off beat, he’s just being himself and not doing some idiotic over the top choreographed dance that the studios force upon their artists. He’s also a big guy in case you haven’t noticed, Dave is 6’-2” and he’s way bigger than him.

What a blast from the past….and the classic 360 trademark spin on Letterman. Wow. I saw Eddie Money twice during the 90s when he toured w/ Rick Springfield, Loverboy, and a couple of other rotating 80s acts. Even in the 90s, Eddie would do the spin, but at that age, it was always a 370 and came back 10 degrees to square up with the mike stand. He had so many classics. Take Me Home Tonight is as anthemic as 80s hits get and is still my favorite. RIP, Eddie.

I did the same during the early 90s when I would stay the night st my babysitter. She had a vcr and csble!!! I recorded a lot of star trek tng and mtv. I had maybe 3 vhs and I would could record 3 hours and 6 if I set the vcr a certain way. I stayed up all night during the summers there from 90 to around 93. Then my aunt got cable and lots of vhs.
