EDDIE MONEY – Rest in Peace – September 13, 2019

Eddie was a one of a kind guy. I first started photographing Eddie in 1979, he was on top after his self titled 1977 debut album Eddie Money with his classic hits “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Baby Hold On”. I was only 19 working for the promoter doing trade photos. Eddie grabbed me after his performance at and asked me to take a photo of his good buddies Flo and Eddie who were also performing. I then asked if he would pose for a portrait by his cases he gladly agreed. Fast forward to the late nineties when I helped create and art directed his home video “Shakin With the Money Man” as well as shot a few album covers for him including “Ready Eddie” released in 1999 which was the last record of original music. He respected your craft and always had a joke to tell. He will be missed.. — Mark Weiss
