Just a reminder we all are going to go someday.

I have his cd somewhere in the house!

Another sad day in music. Not many good bands left. Even country is crap these days.

He was fortunate that he passed peaceably!

May he RIP !!

I went back to review his old songs. Two Tickets was his most famous.

His entire repertoire was very repetitive, very musically shallow. His lyrics revolved around getting some poor woman to take him home at night. That was about all he had. It reminds me of some black pop singers who seem to sing the same songs and same melodies and same lyrics, over and over. I can't really tell any Barry White song from another, they're all the same damned song. Eddie Money was like that. But maybe he had a good stage show or did fairly well at live performances.

Here's a 1987 version of Two Tickets from a concert.

Eddie Money.

I found nothing special about him, however I’d listen to his albums long before I’d listen to rap, hip- hop or that music that causes a person to dry hump their sister,country.

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of blues. Click on YouTube and listen to the entire Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart Live in Amsterdam video.

Brilliant stuff.

I don't mean to be especially critical but, decades after his career as a top singer of the era is over, you can look back and see he will be remembered mostly for 1-3 songs. I'm not a fan so I think one of those three songs was a good (Two Tickets) and the other two were just formulaic.

There really aren't that many groups or singers that have more than a few songs that will be remembered decades later.

The FNC headline accurately summed up his entire career: "Eddie Money, ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ singer, dead at 70"

RIP Eddie. I was supposed to see him a couple or 3 years ago at a free show at Wright Pat Air force base. It was canceled because of the weather. I liked his music.

I'm probably unfair in some ways. For a lot of groups and singers, I only know their hits, not the body of their studio work on albums. I'm a shallow music listener.

Most people are only familiar to any large extent with the genres of music and major albums that dominated the music scene when they were in their teens, twenties and thirties. It does take a lot of listening time to learn so much about all the groups, their albums, who wrote their music, their hit songs, etc.
