Take Me Home Tonight (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 reprising her role.
The song reached number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart; outside the U.S., it was a top 15 hit in Canada. It received a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Alongside its album, "Take Me Home Tonight" helped revive Money's career after a period of declining sales. It also allowed Spector to resume her touring/recording career after several years of retirement.
==Background==
By the mid-1980s, Eddie Money had reached a low-point in his recording career after several years of drug abuse. Columbia Records wanted to still keep Money on its roster, but restricted his creative control regarding his output.〔 "Take Me Home Tonight" was a song outside writers composed. Money hated the song upon being advised to record it, and continued to dislike it after its release.〔 His only caveat was Ronnie Spector sing the "Be My Baby" sample, otherwise he would have not recorded the song. Originally, Martha Davis of the Motels sang the lyric. Money reached out to Spector over the phone—she was washing dishes at the time—and she ended up featuring on the song.〔
The song allowed Spector, who was then retired, to have renewed success as a touring and recording act. "I didn't like the song, but () it helped Ronnie out and it helped me get some of my other material on the album across, so now I'm happy I did it," Money said in 1987.
