RIP Ronnie Spector (August 10, 1943 - January 12, 2022), aged 78 And RIP Eddie Money (March 21, 1949 - September 13, 2019), aged 70 You both will be remembered as legends.
RIP ♥️ 🙏 to both legend s that was the real time music . It will never be like those good times I was born in 84 and my name is Ronnie much luv too all 👍♥️🙏
Without Ronnie - at best - this is a mediocre Eddie Money song, and the video would be absolutely lame. With her, it’s awesome. Thanks Eddie, for finding her back then in the 80’s and introducing her to an entirely new generation. That was a very cool move.
Had my nieces over a few weeks ago and they were confused by my record collection. We spent the next few hours listening to it while we went over some photo albums and I told them about how much their mom loved going to the roller rink. My sister called to tell me I'd created a pair of monsters.
I was 12 years old and one of my dad’s friends asked me what my favorite song is. I told him this song. He laughed and said you won’t remember Eddie Money within a year. Here I am 50 years old and still loving this banger!!! Piss on you Mr. McCullogh.
Admittedly, when this song first came out I didn't care much for it. But like fine wine, the older this song got the more I like it. I now consider it a masterpiece.
This song just proves three things, 1. Eddie Money was one of the most underrated solo artists 2. The saxophone is never a bad instrument to use 3. Ronnie was one of the best, rest in peace Ronnie and Eddie
You really had to be there to understand what it meant to see Ronnie actually in the video.She was our parents girl & they were so glad to see her still standing.Whoever wrote the treatment for this video was a genius building up to her finally popping up on screen.Eddie is tuning up his sax waiting for Ronnie to walk in 💔R.I.P to both legends 😍
@@micanikko well basically Eddie brought Back Roonie to the industry, one phone call and she went from a retired singer turned housewife, to a come back sensation, she even made a record called "un finish business" after this great song came out.
Hahaha yup. His facial expressions and his rock n roll antics crack me up. I always feel like I’m watching Saturday night live episode from back in the day
@@TheGeenat That's one of the things that made Eddie so endearing, that he didn't take himself too seriously. He was one of the class acts of the business, RIP.
The other two songs that were hits in the late 1970's but this one tops them both. I have heard it several times and thought it was great. I wondered who owned the girls' voice in the background it was a great mix. I forgot that she also passed away as well. I just found out it was Ronnie Spector. Oh yeah Eddie Money was fantastic in the brief saxaphone solo.
I don’t. Because back then you had to rely on luck and patience for videos like this to play on MTV. Now you can watch your favorite music videos any time you want.
RIP Ronnie Spector and Eddie Money, who collaborated on one the all-time best ‘80s songs. I hope you’re rocking out together-maybe with a sax?- somewhere.
I love listening to this on RUclips as they play the whole song. On regular radio, they always cut out her signature “nah-nah-nah-nah” at the end the song. Rest in peace Eddie and Ronnie!
@@firebladex8586 Trolls know everything and seriously if your so convicted to what you write here your doing a poor job convincing people otherwise since you know who actually goes to hell and who does not
Eddie Money was a freaking killer. I saw him 4 times. He headlined every time and he always made sure that the under card got to be the star of the show. He was a TRUE Rock Star and a Legend in my book! I was really sad to see him go! Rock on Eddie! LOVE YOU Brother!
The '80s were such a great decade to grow up in. Everything was new. From fashion to movies to music, etc. etc. all was kick ass! Punk rock, New wave, even pop was great. Skateboards got wider, mullets, unfortunately became a fad, rollerskating rinks, MTV had new videos for every new song, with no bullshit reality shows, thank God. Remember the first video on MTV? "Video killed the radio star". Seems like most people, younger than my old ass, think it was "Money for nothing" because it starts with, "I want my MTV". I'm rambling on, so Gen X was and is the best generation for everything!!!!!!!
I got to hear Eddie Money live years ago, great artist and this was the first time I heard Ronnie Spector, I wanted to hear more of her great voice, didn't know how famous she was. The 80's, what can you say, the onset of new computer technology, computer games, MTV and some of the greatest music ever produced!
RIP Ronnie & Eddie. Was a kid when I first heard this song. Absolute magic. I think it is sheer genius the way this song incorporates the Be My Baby original
That woman was 43 years old at the time, she looked amazing! 🔥 Eddie didn't care for the song, but he did it for Ronnie. And it helped him as well, reviving both their careers
30 here and same, I was kid 6 out of TOO MANY 😂 back when having more than 15 kids was common and we got our asses whooped for fucking up and the street lights were our sign to get home
@@ashleyburford7032 straight up! Lol these kids have it way different now! Even raising your voice at your child may be considered child abuse depending on who they tell 😂
Listening to this again on January 12, 2022, after hearing about Ronnie's passing, and imagining them singing this together in heaven. (3:21) seems such a fitting shot now. She's been taken home. R.I.P. Veronica "Ronnie" Bennett Spector August 10, 1943 -- January 12, 2022). R.I.P. Edward "Eddie Money" Mahoney (March 21, 1949 -- September 13, 2019).
Yes. Very true. It was sad to hear that these 2 legends died. However, always look up. Because they are always looking down on us. ALWAYS. R.I.P Ronnie Spector and Eddie Money. We love you.
And one of the most important historical musical moments of all time. Ronnie coming out of the darkness both figuratively and metaphorically, and back into the light after over a decade of unspeakable abuse. Eddie had the biggest balls to take on Phil Spector at that time.
From the husky voice of Ronnie to the crushed-velvet croon of Eddie, from the slick synth playing to the pounding drums, from the lush sax to the hypnotic guitar, this song transcends mere "classic" status. It's a bloody brilliant piece of rock-craft. And despite being almost 40 years old, it still packs as much of a kick to the jaw now as it did back then.
Me 🙋🏼♀️ November 25, 2024. 50 years old , I grew up on this stuff, lol. This song is my brindle boxer/ bulldog Roscoe’s lullaby. He especially loves the parts Ronnie sang 🤣 be my little baby, baby my darlin’
I will always be a product of the 80's. No matter how successful and interesting I am in my 50,s, now, I will never be as cool as I thought I was in 1986...
My Baby Sista send me this song !❤ I was a Senior in High School when she was born 😍 !!! I married at 21 n had my son at 25. I remember my mom saying she was too old to have another child .. but she really loved being pregnant. So i use to carry my baby sista like my own baby. i felt the bond n so did she. When i moved away i broke her little heart n mind… but i couldn’t take her she wasn’t mine. She is Special n Successful n married to a great man n has a Beautiful family. I know my parents are Proud of her , as I am. Her name is Angelica Georgina but we call her “Gina” 🎉.. LOVE YOU BABY SIS,ALWAYS ❤
Same here I'm 39 so I grew up on the good stuff, heavy metal, big hair, a bit of disco, 90's rap, the music these days is a joke- (laughing at not with)
@@whore_knee I can’t speak for today’s teens, but the main difference I see is technology. Kids are glued to their phones, devices, video games, etc. When I was a kid, I left the house in the morning basically returning for meals. I played outside all day with my buddies. It also seems that kids nowadays are in a hurry to grow up. I don’t know, just my two cents.
I just learned about the death of Ronnie Spector, who performed with Eddie Money. Her loss will be felt all over the world. God, take her home tonight: To Heaven. She will be missed. Thank you. Rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏🏻😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I'm preparing for senior year ('86) at Newman Smith HS driving southbound on I35 In Denton heading to Dallas to move in with my dad. This song came on, it was pouring, I had bald tires, I was scared for my big move. So many great memories making that life change.
I've only recently become aware that it was Ronnie Spector singing backup and making an appearance; I had to do research online to discover that tidbit. I'm glad she accepted Eddie Money's offer (I mean, he's Money!), and I agree with you, she really brought something to the stage here with her "Be My Baby" update for the 1980s.
I heard he originally wanted Grace Slick to do the song with him but she suggested he use Ronnie Spector instead since she had done Be My Baby with her group The Ronnettes
The ETERNAL-struggle between man and woman and ESPECIALLY these days and I will not be biased to color-either! I am a baby of 1985 and yet I grew up with the 1980s. Define my generation!
Except possibly Nirvana Smashing Pumpkins Pavement Radiohead Oasis Pearl Jam PJ Harvey Red Hot Chili Peppers POE Garbage Gin Blossoms Wallflowers Counting Crows Soundgarden Alice In Chains Blur Weezer Foo Fighters Liz Phair Cranberries Jeff Buckley Alanis Morrissette Morrissey Sheryl Crow Green Day Beastie Boys R.E.M. I’m not necessarily a fan of all those artists, but I enjoy that era of Radio Rock much more than the Radio Rock of the ‘80’s.
16 years old but I am still so grateful to have a grandfather that exposed me to this golden era of music. If I could time travel, I would 🤘 R.I.P Eddie
I think everyone would lol. The 80s and 90s were of a time alot of stuff and tech was starting to happen. Everyone that lived through it may not even have noticed but looking back now it's crazy. It also was a much simpler time
Yes! I loved the 70s. Yet I felt at the time the late 60s and early 70s were the best. They still are! Yet in retrospect, that sound of the 80s cannot be bested! :-)
It wasn't just her voice.. she was something special. There was this guy John that met her and he fell head over heels in love. Of course Ronnie literally belonged to Phil Specter at the time. So it was over before it started. John was sad and decided to go "all in" when he met a conceptual artist in London several months later. The young artist's name was Yoko. Yoko Ono. The rest is history.
That's true sabrina the music industry won't even allow good content to make it unless it pushes somehow this new ridiculous agenda , we can always keep the real stuff alive nobody's stopping us freewill !
True artists leave a part of themselves in their work, especially in the music industry. Legends like Eddie Money, Tom Petty, etc. will live forever through their work. So long as there are those who will listen...
I was a teenager living in a dinky farming town in North Dakota when this came out and I LOVED IT!! While everyone else was listening to country, I was singularly listen to this type of music. It really has sentimental meaning to me… RIP Ronnie and RIP Eddie
This song never gets old. This is Money’s greatest hit. The Music Video says it all. I love the build up of Ronnie in the silhouette as you only hear her voice. When she shows up, it is a highlight that she is still as beautiful as she was 30 some years ago then in 1986. RIP to both Eddie and Ronnie. You may still be gone but you will always be missed.
I would love to go back in your Time Machine and I am always going back in time! I totally agree with you! I am a woman, but I love how Ronnie shines through the darkness and is highlighted in this song in a beautiful silhouette. Eddie looks hot, and I always love him and his voice. Eddie had much musical talent, (God I love him playing saxophone) and I love all of the songs, and I love this duet!❤️
God, I miss the 1980s. What a great era it was, and the more time goes by, the more I realize how good I had it.
🎉 100%
The only thing that I have loved about the 2000’s is my daughter being born. Other than that, I need the 80’s back.
I hear ya!..Songs like this take me back to some of the best times of my life
Back when the western world wasnt a third world hellscape
Was born 89... I try and brag and say I was alive for 8 months of the 80s. Will be 35 April 4th
This song wasn’t catchy…. It was infectious! One of the best songs of the 80’s.
Indeed!
Only if you accepted the silver spoon being placed in your mouth and didn't know where to look for better.
VIVAN los 80❤❤❤❤
agree! Ronnie in the video killed it
You spelled "all time" wrong.
Anyone here in 2025? This song will never get old!😊
RIP Ronnie Spector (August 10, 1943 - January 12, 2022), aged 78
And
RIP Eddie Money (March 21, 1949 - September 13, 2019), aged 70
You both will be remembered as legends.
Rip to the greatest of all time you will always be remembered
OMG I Eddie passed away but Ronnie I'm sad
RIP ♥️ 🙏 to both legend s that was the real time music . It will never be like those good times I was born in 84 and my name is Ronnie much luv too all 👍♥️🙏
Eddie Money, and Ronnie Spector, gone but never forgotten. Your music will always love on 💯. R.I.P. to each of you 🥹
ขอแสดงความเสียใจด้วยครับ
RIP Ronnie Spector! She added so much to this song!
She really did.
I agree. The song is just ok without her.
Just like Ronnie said, I wait for her part & love her voice 😍 ❤️
Her track hits so hard on this song!
Without Ronnie - at best - this is a mediocre Eddie Money song, and the video would be absolutely lame. With her, it’s awesome. Thanks Eddie, for finding her back then in the 80’s and introducing her to an entirely new generation. That was a very cool move.
To EDDIE MONEY and RONNIE SPECTOR may you both rest in peace.
Amen 🙏 ❤️
Ronnie sphincter 😂
And God bless you and the both of em!!☦️
Is both dead????
@@Najainshe died 2 years ago
There are certain 80's songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I agree. For me it's this song and SATURDAY LOVE from Cherrelle (1985??)
I was just thinking how it's sad I'll never get that time back, but grateful for the memories I have, so I know what you're saying
I was born in 96 but this song is AMAZING, simply timeless. It’ll transcend endless generations
Had my nieces over a few weeks ago and they were confused by my record collection. We spent the next few hours listening to it while we went over some photo albums and I told them about how much their mom loved going to the roller rink. My sister called to tell me I'd created a pair of monsters.
I wasn’t even born in the 80s and I get what you mean a feel good song tied to memories of the past
I was 12 years old and one of my dad’s friends asked me what my favorite song is. I told him this song. He laughed and said you won’t remember Eddie Money within a year. Here I am 50 years old and still loving this banger!!! Piss on you Mr. McCullogh.

Great Story 👏👌🔥⚡️
This song just proves three things,
1. Eddie Money was one of the most underrated solo artists
2. The saxophone is never a bad instrument to use
3. Ronnie was one of the best, rest in peace Ronnie and Eddie
The saxophone 🎷 was used a lot in the 1980s in most songs.
The most famous example of saxophone use in an 80s song is Careless Whisper by George Michael
@@93seronica That and Born to Run, RIP Clarence
I totally agree

They sure don’t make music like this anymore. Great song.
Nope
Today's music is shit!
Its almost like they try to make sht today. It would be cool if someone would make this song today. and make it.
They really don’t 😒
Rap sucks
Bellas almas que nos dejaron sus voces y está hermosa canción!

I love what you said
@@TheGeenat That's one of the things that made Eddie so endearing, that he didn't take himself too seriously.

Being a child of the 80's this song was my introduction to Ronnie Spector. RIP to her and Eddie.
I was 13 when "Be my Baby" came out and I fell in love with Ronnie then. .such an incredible talent and beautiful voice.
You gotta get Ronnette's Greatest Hits....classic!
With Ronnie's recent demise this video brings tears to my eyes. It will live on and on!
How old was she when she passed away? Anyone know?
@@bobbenbrown123 She was 78.
RIP to Eddie and Ronnie. Always a great song by two talented singers.
Absolutely so sexy!
Magic.
Between the Ronnie and the sax.. they made this song and video.. RIP Ronnie n Eddie 💔
They live on . Aliens never truly die 😂
Yes indeed!
Have loved Ronnie's voice for 50 years. 50
RIP Ronnie. This song is a tribute to your beauty and talent. Thanks, Eddie.
One of the best songs from the 80s......Rest in Peace Eddie and now Ronnie.
I echo as you said
Yessss 🙏
I just heard about Ronnie. 😪
Just watched this I can’t believe they’re both dead now😔

My oldest had a Spectrettes album, and i always loved Ronnie. hearing her sing this with Eddie was a treat. R.I.P.
RIP
It’s called a song that’s a classic, transcends time.
If it’s available to listen and see the video there must be a pretty good reason genius
I mean I’m sure Lil Shitty and OG Dickhead will have some classics 20 years from now
Omg nothing like the 80s. We didn't know what we had. I'm 56 now. "I want to go back"
54 definitely
I don’t. Because back then you had to rely on luck and patience for videos like this to play on MTV. Now you can watch your favorite music videos any time you want.
made those moments more precious@@Kazilikaya
U and me both
I’m the same age I’m with you I wanna go back
Ronnie just died. she and Eddie can now perform this together again.
'Take Me Home Tonight!' Now has new meaning; instead of meeting him in his lonely apartment or bachelor pad, she'll be meeting him in heaven; home.
No they can't. They're dead.

An era that will hardly be surpassed in terms of quality and quantity of good music created in the 80s.
I love that Ronnie Spector sings in background!!! ❤
Her voice is so beautiful!❤
Me too I hate that she’s gone. She had a beautiful voice
That also sounds like Cindy Lauper.
I love that Keith Richards still calls her Ronnie Bennett.
I love"just like Ronnie said"
RIP Ronnie Spector and Eddie Money, who collaborated on one the all-time best ‘80s songs. I hope you’re rocking out together-maybe with a sax?- somewhere.
I remember he said NO one else could sing that 'be my little baby' line but Ronnie. And he was right. This is pure magic.
He asked someone else first, she said why don't you get Ronnie.
RIP Eddie and Ronnie ❤❤❤❤😂❤❤
Yes❤
of course, thats her line! Ronettes!
She's awesome ❤
I love listening to this on RUclips as they play the whole song. On regular radio, they always cut out her signature “nah-nah-nah-nah” at the end the song. Rest in peace Eddie and Ronnie!
Ronnie singing those "oh, oh, oh" refrains gave me the chills. What a voice!
Same here
you said it, classic!
Me TOO!
Would you know that she died the next day! Sad, a rock legend left us.

R I P Ronnie Spector. (1943-2021) I bet she and Eddie Money are singing their hearts out in Rock n Roll Heaven!! ❤️
1943-2022 you mean
Not really , the truth is they are in hell for all eternity. It was a nice sentiment though, so we can always pretend.

Me, please tellme it's true...lol

The '80s were such a great decade to grow up in. Everything was new. From fashion to movies to music, etc. etc. all was kick ass! Punk rock, New wave, even pop was great. Skateboards got wider, mullets, unfortunately became a fad, rollerskating rinks, MTV had new videos for every new song, with no bullshit reality shows, thank God. Remember the first video on MTV? "Video killed the radio star". Seems like most people, younger than my old ass, think it was "Money for nothing" because it starts with, "I want my MTV".

RIP Ronnie.
It'll be nice one day they can sing together again in the promised future.
They may already be singing together now, why wait...?
This will never get old. Makes me jealous as a Millennial ('89) of those who were teens in the 80s and were able to see all this Live.
From the husky voice of Ronnie to the crushed-velvet croon of Eddie, from the slick synth playing to the pounding drums, from the lush sax to the hypnotic guitar, this song transcends mere "classic" status. It's a bloody brilliant piece of rock-craft. And despite being almost 40 years old, it still packs as much of a kick to the jaw now as it did back then.
Oh f*** yeah
Absolutely
Hell yeah!!
This song is my age
Nicely written
Imagine Eddie laying into this in heaven and Ronnie strolling through the pearly gates singing this classic line.

RIP Ronnie Spector; now she and Eddie can sing this live again. ❤️
Listening in 2024 and thinking about old friends, lost loved ones and simpler times. Who’s with me?
With you
I will always be a product of the 80's. No matter how successful and interesting I am in my 50,s, now, I will never be as cool as I thought I was in 1986...
Right there with you friend
I feel the same😊
Damn did u steal my brain wave
My Baby Sista send me this song !❤ I was a Senior in High School when she was born 😍 !!! I married at 21 n had my son at 25. I remember my mom saying she was too old to have another child .. but she really loved being pregnant. So i use to carry my baby sista like my own baby. i felt the bond n so did she. When i moved away i broke her little heart n mind… but i couldn’t take her she wasn’t mine. She is Special n Successful n married to a great man n has a Beautiful family. I know my parents are Proud of her , as I am. Her name is Angelica Georgina but we call her “Gina” 🎉.. LOVE YOU BABY SIS,ALWAYS ❤
RIP Ronnie! Make some more beautiful music with Eddie!
Legends of the 80s both gone
But never forgotten
That's for sure and
Our promise.
Ronnie was a Legend from the 60's
RIP to both Eddie Money and Ronnie Spector
They are now reunited beyond singing this song together again
Money nailed this 80s rock anthem with Spector raising it to another level with her part.
I’m 55 & I sometimes yearn for my teenage years. This is one of the songs that always brings me back to those times. Such a wonderful time in my life.
If I may ask, how was it like when you were in your teens? How different is it compared to the teens in this modern age? I would like to know.
Same here I'm 39 so I grew up on the good stuff, heavy metal, big hair, a bit of disco, 90's rap, the music these days is a joke- (laughing at not with)
@@whore_knee I can’t speak for today’s teens, but the main difference I see is technology. Kids are glued to their phones, devices, video games, etc. When I was a kid, I left the house in the morning basically returning for meals. I played outside all day with my buddies. It also seems that kids nowadays are in a hurry to grow up. I don’t know, just my two cents.
@@caraRd203 I totally agree.
I feel you
Kinda wish we could bring back music like this to this generation now
I absolutely agree 🎉
Eddie Money was way ahead of his time. He was singing to a Covid audience even back in 1986.
haha. That's cute and funny
And they voted 80 million times for Bio-Bido Den
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
@@John231984and very special just like da creeper sniffer
Lmao
Rest in peace Eddie Money (March 21, 1949 - September 13, 2019)
Holy Moly Eddie had the same birthday like me. 21th March.
GNERD Corner gone on friday the 13th
I didn't know he passed. Rest in peace eddie. Tons of memory's from my childhood to your music.
Sad to hear that. RIP Ed
Holy crap - he died THIS year?
RIP Ronnie Spector. Your voice was magic.
yes it was
Wasn't she. RIP
Happy New Year. Ronnie's voice was magic Now she Estelle and Eddie are in heaven singing this song with the Angels
💖😞🌹
...And Eddie Money. So was yours!
Its a cold beautiful morning in vegas Dec 10 I'm 54 but feel 17 again when I dance with my grandson to this song
Back in the 80’s my sister thought she was singing “Feed my little baby”. Still cracks me up every time I hear this song!
;D* lol! Good comment..
It does sound like that.
😄
Lol thats funny 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
RIP Ronnie Spector this was a banger!
I just learned about the death of Ronnie Spector, who performed with Eddie Money. Her loss will be felt all over the world. God, take her home tonight: To Heaven. She will be missed. Thank you. Rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏🏻😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I'm preparing for senior year ('86) at Newman Smith HS driving southbound on I35 In Denton heading to Dallas to move in with my dad. This song came on, it was pouring, I had bald tires, I was scared for my big move. So many great memories making that life change.
Rest in Peace Ronnie. You and Eddie can duet for over. Enjoyed your singing.
I heard Eddie really had to beg Ronnie to collaborate with him on this song. I’m glad she agreed because it wouldn’t have been the same without her.
According to interviews with her, when he got a hold of her and sang it to her over the phone, she loved it and immediately agreed.
I've only recently become aware that it was Ronnie Spector singing backup and making an appearance; I had to do research online to discover that tidbit. I'm glad she accepted Eddie Money's offer (I mean, he's Money!), and I agree with you, she really brought something to the stage here with her "Be My Baby" update for the 1980s.
Woman was very tasty to say the least.
I heard he originally wanted Grace Slick to do the song with him but she suggested he use Ronnie Spector instead since she had done Be My Baby with her group The Ronnettes
@@jakethesnake-eb9zt Cool info.
The ETERNAL-struggle between man and woman and ESPECIALLY these days and I will not be biased to color-either! I am a baby of 1985 and yet I grew up with the 1980s. Define my generation!
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
One of the best decades if not the best for music
Facts
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Them was the good old days can we go back to them days
IT SHOULD. The 80's are long gone so move on lol
Actually this is one of the few songs and singers that was any good in the 80's
Ronnie was one of my first celeb crushes... RIP RONNIE & EDDIE
You gai bruh
Nothing will ever be as great as 80s music
Agree 10000%
Except possibly Nirvana Smashing Pumpkins Pavement Radiohead Oasis Pearl Jam PJ Harvey Red Hot Chili Peppers POE Garbage Gin Blossoms Wallflowers Counting Crows Soundgarden Alice In Chains Blur Weezer Foo Fighters Liz Phair Cranberries Jeff Buckley Alanis Morrissette Morrissey Sheryl Crow Green Day Beastie Boys R.E.M. I’m not necessarily a fan of all those artists, but I enjoy that era of Radio Rock much more than the Radio Rock of the ‘80’s.
Amen my brother
They both are gone but they left their love of music for us all. We miss you Eddie and Ronnie. ❤
16 years old but I am still so grateful to have a grandfather that exposed me to this golden era of music. If I could time travel, I would 🤘 R.I.P Eddie
15 and my grandfather just got me into this music again to lol
I think everyone would lol. The 80s and 90s were of a time alot of stuff and tech was starting to happen. Everyone that lived through it may not even have noticed but looking back now it's crazy. It also was a much simpler time
@@ryanprocunier85381973 baby here, I definitely noticed it and I’m still always amazed at what keeps coming.❤
I feel extra old now. 50 is very close, and the years go by quicker. Enjoy your youth.
"grandfather"!!
Nothing can compare to this sound of the 80's...👍
Yes! I loved the 70s. Yet I felt at the time the late 60s and early 70s were the best. They still are! Yet in retrospect, that sound of the 80s cannot be bested! :-)
@@carewdjc Feb 28, 2014
@@garycarr3857what ?
1970s can
The 80’s was THE DECADE!
RIP Eddie Money and Ronnie Spector. One of my fave songs 🎵 ❤️
I just found out who Ronnie is. D@mn. Decades later. But it's so fulfilling!
Is it just me or is her voice freaking awesome?
PHUCKING AMAZING!...
He was fantastic but if she was not on this song it would not be the same ❤
It wasn't just her voice..
she was something special.
There was this guy John that met her and he fell head over heels in love.
Of course Ronnie literally belonged to Phil Specter at the time. So it was over before it started. John was sad and decided to go "all in" when he met a conceptual artist in London several months later. The young artist's name was Yoko.
Yoko Ono.
The rest is history.
@@GayleTate I have to agree! But the push is I believe. Eddie would've arranged it differently.
I come back to watch this video / song often. I was just thinking Exactly the Same thing…
Eddie Money is Great BUT…. Ronnie Owns this Song 🎶
The legends are all gone now.. But thanks to all of us we can keep them alive through the music they left behind
That's true sabrina the music industry won't even allow good content to make it unless it pushes somehow this new ridiculous agenda , we can always keep the real stuff alive nobody's stopping us freewill !
Kenny logins is still alive, but we have lost some greats
True artists leave a part of themselves in their work, especially in the music industry. Legends like Eddie Money, Tom Petty, etc. will live forever through their work. So long as there are those who will listen...
Ronnie Spector is still alive
Word'em up!😎
I was a teenager living in a dinky farming town in North Dakota when this came out and I LOVED IT!! While everyone else was listening to country, I was singularly listen to this type of music. It really has sentimental meaning to me…
RIP Ronnie and RIP Eddie
It's awesome being that one little daisy in a field of hay! Lol! Rock on!
Shout out to small town ND folks! Some of the nicest people in the world!
I'm from the F/M area
Eddie and Ronnie, timeless
RIP Ronnie Spector. You were the angels voice in a sea of utter crap.
Hope she finds Eddie.
It's been a year since Eddie Money died. But he'll always be remembered. Who are in favor of him and his songs? I am.
R.i.p
Yep. We have lost a few good ones recently. There are no replacements.
Technically, he died two days before The Cars member Ric Ocasek died at age 75.
Hard to believe 😢
@@CrystalClearWith8BE omg 😲
This song never gets old. This is Money’s greatest hit. The Music Video says it all. I love the build up of Ronnie in the silhouette as you only hear her voice. When she shows up, it is a highlight that she is still as beautiful as she was 30 some years ago then in 1986.
RIP to both Eddie and Ronnie. You may still be gone but you will always be missed.
The way they introduced her into the video was really, really special.
I would love to go back in your Time Machine and I am always going back in time! I totally agree with you! I am a woman, but I love how Ronnie shines through the darkness and is highlighted in this song in a beautiful silhouette. Eddie looks hot, and I always love him and his voice. Eddie had much musical talent, (God I love him playing saxophone) and I love all of the songs, and I love this duet!❤️
The 1980s: Best decade ever. Best songs, best videos, best outfits and best hair-dos.
RIP Ronnie... you will be missed!
Still, after all these years, seeing Ronnie walk in like that just makes me all warm and fuzzy.
Eddie is home now. Home where its safe, sane, loving. He is with his musical heroes and his family. he is home.
You said it, bud.
@@matthewharvey1963 yes he is with Jesus now...however, I really miss him here. I'm glad he is at peace. One of my favorite singers of all time.
P0ppojkkkkkp
At least he didn't see the year 2020.
Yes he so is !!rocking in after life !!
❤ Who's here October 2024!? Wishing you fellow survivors All the best that Life has to offer. Take Care 🎉
