No disrespect intended and he has my sympathy but calling him a singer is a stretch.
There's certainly been much worse than Eddie. he had some catchy hits that most people can sing.
The start of this video is a little ironic, now:
Artist: Eddie Money
Album: No Control
Song: "Think I'm In Love"
June, 1982 Columbia Records
Artist: Eddie Moneywith Ronnie Spector
Album: Can't Hold Back
Song: "Take Me Home Tonight"
August 16, 1986 Columbia Records
Money would recall: "I didn't care for the demo [but] it did have a good catch line. When I heard [a snippet of] 'Be My Baby' in it I said: 'Why can't we get Ronnie Spector to sing it?' [and was told] 'That's impossible.'" Money invited his friend Martha Davis, lead vocalist of the Motels, to sing the lines from "Be My Baby" on "Take Me Home Tonight": Davis encouraged him to try to recruit Spector herself and Money was eventually able to speak on the phone to Spector at her home in northern California: Money - "I could hear clinking and clanking in the background...She said: 'I'm doing the dishes, and I gotta change the kids' bedding. I’m not really in the business anymore, Eddie. Phil Spector and all that, it was a nightmare'...I said 'Ronnie, I got this song that’s truly amazing and it’s a tribute to you. It would be so great if you…did it with me.'" The success of "Take Me Home Tonight" encouraged Spector to resume her singing career, who would release her second solo album Unfinished Business in 1987. In 1987 Money would say of "Take Me Home Tonight": "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."
....then again, there's this:
Artist: Eddie Money
Album: Eddie Money
Song: "Baby Hold On"
February 1978 Columbia Records

Oh man, I had a 67 Firebird that I'd kill to have back. Hood scoops and tach on the hood, 400 HO motor, 400 turbo hydromatic tranny with a shift kit and 390 positrac rear end, red on red on black. That car would scream. I installed a cassette deck in and thought I was the shiznit. I wore out 2 or 3 copies of Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger.
I guess I'm a music snob but I never considered him to be a serious artist.

I had a beautiful white mid-80's Trans Am (before all the extra added plastic) 5.0 that purred and roared. T-Tops and a fun car at that time.
