JUST MISSED!!! "Baby Hold On" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 20 weeks in the Top 100 in 1978. This record was also Eddie's debut record on the charts and it had entered the Top 100 on Feb. 25th, 1978!!!
please tell me im not alone when i say i was playing GTA Vice City Stories PsP and i heard this track come on for the first time and loved it instantly...i was driving on the beach to....good times....Im sending this song to my wife( well future wife anyway we are still gf and bf X3) but yeah. GREAT SONG.
This song never really had much significance to me what so ever, until it came on the radio in the car driving my mother back from her oncologist appt. Where she was diagnosed terminal. Three weeks later, she passed. As she grew weaker, this song lingered in my mind. At her passing; again it did. This song brings tears to my eyes, and has a whole other meaning. Wonderful song. It has helped so much with the grieving process..
I met Eddie at a concert in Ventura, Ca a few years back. He was the nicest guy. I was sitting outside with my hubby.we were the only ones there so late, lol. the security guard asked us what we were doing and we told him, and he felt sorry for me and gave me his back stage pass. I went upstairs to the dressing room and eddie was there with his family. he invited me in and gave me an autograph and asked if I was hungry! I told him my hubby was waiting and thank you for great concert.
the money man rocked binghamton new york spiedie fest last nite 8-5-2011 thank you eddie tommy glenn lee and chris you guys made the concert a moment in my life i will never forget.long live EDDIE 'CASH' MONEY. Love Peace and Happiness ;D.J.don
i hate all these little kids who think they're special cuz they're young and enjoy good music. congratulations, you're not completely oblivious. have a gold star.
What can I say...this song brings me back to the time when I was little boy in Juarez Mexico with my dad ,,,in his 1971 dart swinger, we where driving in el Chamizal in 1977... oh lord what can I say???!!!
The BEST part of this song is the hi-hat rhythm that plays throughout on beats 1 and 3. Also the 2 8th notes in the Bass Guitar throughout.
The chord progressions are nice. The background vocals are hot. The counter melody line that plays throughout (5th-#5th-Root-#5th-5th, etc. etc. etc.) is sweet.
For me it's the hi-hat rhythm and the 2 8th notes in the Bass.
@nudist1033 I agree. But, you know what beats that is that old "straight eight" beginning of some tunes in the 60's! "Where Did Our Love Go"- Supremes. And...."Daydream"...Lovin' Spoonful....check it out!
@1sniatsoop Not true he was actually in the NYPD academy but dropped out truth is he WAS a personal friend of mine but and then he showed his dick His Ex Wife Margo and Child are far better off without hiEddie is a Pure American Prick Case closed a EX Eddie Money Friend
@HistoryTours nope truth is, he totally was a cop for a bit, but then he was like, hey what am i doing, and became a rabid dog. stayed that way the rest of his life. tragic. good to hear you got some gold out of him though. make moneyyy
he played the taste of colorado a couple of years ago free concert with about 200 people in the park near downtown denver...that was one of the best concerts i have ever seen.he still has it for real.
Nobody worked harder or sacrificed more to be a rock singer than Eddie Money ! His story is amazing ! He once did a concert in a Park right outside my back door....what a treat !!
you all are correct. it's cool someone else noticed that. they actually do borrow from this song in both the guitar and drum riffs. they asked permission from eddie money.
this song, Pearl Jam's Last Kiss, Bob Segar's Fire Inside, and Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven were my favorite songs as a little kid. I'm glad my dad raised me on this music.
Saw Eddie in Chandler Arizona, last Saturday evening. He tore Chandler a new one. More panties were droppin' at the concert, than at the port o' lets. My Gramma, my Aunt Vicky, and my girl, all had that 'googlely' look in their eyes, when he hung around afterwards for pictures wth the fans. I had to get them out of there! They were out of control. The dude absolutely killed it.
great song didnt realize guy was around so long It s sad that this same song would never make it to the radio if it was mad in this day and age. Music isnt what it was
Boy this song brings me back. It was 1985 and I was 9. My mom took me to my first concert! I was a Money fan from that moment on. love you Eddie! I still have this record too..lol
I find hard to believe how Evans and Livingston sued Money. I can understand that kind of action when it comes down to the music; but because he took part of the lyrics? That's greedy. As far as I understand, Money wanted to pay homage to their song, and he came up with this nice tune. Evans and Livingston should have felt flattered.
@victorhbs17 ofc but if someone uses your music TRUST ME you get mad, you mus be paid. im an artist too, i know all the fuckin paperwork and all that behind the scenes shit its all dark man, and igs all about a buck.
I don't see what the fuss is about hearing good music on video games. If someone hears a song from a good artist on a game and then decides that they want to listen to more songs from that artist, then I consider that to be a wonderful thing.
Was at Eddie Money concert Saturday and heard a funny line when Eddie turned and faced the crowd and said "I sold over 27 million records. I guess I should have saved some of the money."
JUST MISSED!!! "Baby Hold On" just missed making the Billboard's Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 20 weeks in the Top 100 in 1978. This record was also Eddie's debut record on the charts and it had entered the Top 100 on Feb. 25th, 1978!!!
