As another Lame Cherry exclusive exclusive in matter anti matter.
Perhaps if you are like me, you wonder about things, hidden things that you wonder about and then never look up, like the twirling girl on the Mannix opening. I still have people doing searches for that answer on the Lame Cherry.
This one though is about Eddie Money, a rock singer I appreciated greatly. His break out hit was Take Me Home To Night, but one line is JUST LIKE RONNIE SANG, and it is hard to figure out, because the New York accent sounds almost like "Just like a running song".
The mystery though is kind of neat in Ronnie. I always wondered who was the singer who sang the spectacular back up to Eddie Money as she is pure blues perfect. She is the Ronnie in the song.
"Take Me Home Tonight" is a song by American rock singer Eddie Money. It was released in August 1986 as the lead single from his album Can't Hold Back. The song's chorus interpolates the Ronettes' 1963 hit "Be My Baby", with original vocalist Ronnie Spector providing uncredited vocals and reprising her role. Songwriting credit was given to Mike Leeson, Peter Vale, Ellie Greenwich, Phil Spector and Jeff Barry.
Personally, I think Ronnie Spector hauls ass on Take Me Home Tonight. She out vocals all of her other work combined. I'm so glad that I looked this up, as her vocals reminded me of Bonnie Tyler, she sings White in this back up, and by White she is not wailing and shrieking like those Goddamn vocalists who all came out from New York like Barbara Streisand who sang Afro and that type just gets off on howling high notes.
Give me Ronnie Spector or someone like Rosie Langley who sang backs up on Jeff Lynne's ELO. Fantastic singers.
Veronica Yvette Greenfield[1] (née Bennett; August 10, 1943 – January 12, 2022), known professionally as Ronnie Spector, was an American singer who co-founded and fronted the girl group the Ronettes. She is sometimes referred to as the original "bad girl of rock and roll".[2][3]
Ronnie formed the singing group with her older sister, Estelle Bennett, and their cousin, Nedra Talley in the late 1950s. They were signed to Phil Spector's Philles label in 1963 and he produced the majority of their recording output. The Ronettes had a string of hits in the 1960s, including "Be My Baby" (1963), "Baby, I Love You" (1963), "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up" (1964), "Do I Love You?" (1964), and "Walking in the Rain" (1964)
OK that is your final Jeopardy answer but who watches that without Alex Trebec on there anymore.
