"Baby Hold On", by Brooklyn-born rock singer Eddie Money, was his first big hit, and remains one of the songs for which he is best known. Co-written by Money, it was released in 1978 and reached the #11 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is unusual due to its cold vocal ending with the words "Hold On" as the song ends which kept disc jockeys on alert. Money was a New York City policeman before pursuing his music career that spanned over three decades. As an American Rock icon and multi-platinum recording artist he survived drugs and alcohol that almost took his life, but survived because of his perseverance, love of his art, tremendous humor, and gratitude to the many fans he calls “friends”. His blue-collar brand of Rock and Roll has managed to transcend generations and continues to move audiences today.
