"Take Me Home Tonight" is a song past American rock singer Eddie Money. It was released in August 1986 as the lead single from his album Tin't Concord Back. The song'southward chorus interpolates the Ronettes' 1963 hit "Exist My Baby", with original vocalizer 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.
The song reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November fifteen, 1986, and number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart; outside the U.Southward., information technology was a meridian 15 hit in Canada. It received a Grammy nomination for All-time Male Rock Vocal Operation, and was Money's biggest hit on the U.S. charts.[1]
Aslope its album, "Take Me Domicile Tonight" helped revive Coin's career after a flow of declining sales. It also allowed Spector to resume her touring/recording career after several years of retirement.
Background [edit]
By the mid-1980s, Eddie Coin had reached a depression-point in his recording career later on several years of drug abuse.[2] Columbia Records however wanted to keep Money on its roster, but restricted his creative control regarding his output.[iii] Tape producer Richie Zito brought Coin the song "Take Me Abode This night", and Money would recollect: "I didn't treat the demo [but] it did have a good catch line. When I heard [a snippet of] 'Be My Baby' in information technology I said: 'Why tin't we become Ronnie Spector to sing it?' [and was told] 'That's incommunicable.'" [4] Money invited his friend Martha Davis, pb vocalizer of the Motels, to sing the lines from "Be My Babe" on "Accept Me Home This night": Davis encouraged him to try to recruit Spector herself and Coin was somewhen able to speak on the phone to Spector at her home in northern California: Money - "I could hear clinking and clanking in the groundwork...She said: 'I'chiliad doing the dishes, and I gotta change the kids' bedding. I'm not really in the business concern anymore, Eddie. Phil Spector and all that, it was a nightmare'...I said 'Ronnie, I got this song that's truly amazing and information technology's a tribute to y'all. It would be so slap-up if y'all…did it with me.'" [5] The success of "Take Me Habitation Tonight" encouraged Spector to resume her singing career, and she released her second solo anthology, Unfinished Business, in 1987.[6] In 1987 Money would say of "Take Me Home Tonight": "I didn't like the vocal, but…it helped Ronnie out and information technology helped me become some of my other cloth on the anthology across, so at present I'g happy I did it."[7]
Music video [edit]
The video was directed by Nick Morris and shot entirely in black and white at the Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nevada. It opens with Money solitary with a metallic ladder and a folding chair on an otherwise empty stage. He sings and plays an alto saxophone to an absent audience, while Ronnie Spector is seen in a make-up room and then walking through a backstage hallway to the loonshit floor during cutaways. Spector'southward face is not completely revealed until nearly three-quarters of the way through the video.
Reception [edit]
The Los Angeles Times 's Steve Hochman, in a review of Can't Concur Dorsum, felt that Money did Spector a disservice, specially with the song'south "characterless production," commenting, "where Phil Spector built his wall with mode and grace, Money has erected a monolithic barrier."[8]
Accolades [edit]
The vocal was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Functioning at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb 24, 1987, only lost to Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Dearest".
In popular civilization [edit]
The vocal served as the footing for the title of the 2011 film of the same name. The vocal itself played in the theatrical trailer and on the menu screen of the Blu-Ray and DVD releases. Despite this, information technology never actually appears in the movie.
The song was sampled and interpolated past New Zealand rapper PNC in "Take Me Dwelling" featuring Mz J from the album Bazooka Kid.[9]
