Sadly We Say Goodbye To Eddie Money Today

Moments ago around the corner from office I heard my co-worker  Mike Adams exclaim, "Oh my God. Eddie Money died."

This was especially tender to hear from him because he is absolutely Eddie's biggest fan around here.

Whenever Eddie played Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom or Aura here in Portland, Mike was always there singing along.  

We will be honoring Eddie Money's incredible musical legacy today on WBLM. Please feel free to share your memories and requests with us on our Facebook Page and by calling 207-792-1029.

Here's my great memory of Eddie Money in the WBLM Studio on his 64th birthday.

Here's the news including a statement from Eddie Money's family according to Variety.  

"Eddie Money, the prolific singer and songwriter whose songs “Baby Hold On,” “Two Tickets to Paradise,” “Shakin'” and “Take Me Home Tonight”  soundtracked popular music in the 1980s, died Friday (Sept. 13). He was 70.

 

A statement provided by his family reads: “The Money Family regrets to announce that Eddie passed away peacefully early this morning. It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our loving husband and father. We cannot imagine our world without him. We are grateful that he will live on forever through his music.”
