Music career
Money moved to Berkeley, California, and became a subscriber at the city clubs, where he got a record deal with Columbia Records. In the late 1970s, he charted with singles such as "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise". Money went on to succeed and took advantage of MTV's music video scene in the early 1980s with a video of his humorous narration for "Shakin" and "Think I'm in Love," but his career began to decline after a failed album in 1983, accompanied by his struggle with drug addiction.
Money made a comeback in 1986, and returned to mainstream rock spotlight with the album Can not Hold Back . Ronnie Spector's duet album "Take Me Home Tonight" reached the Top 10, as well as the hit "I Wanna Go Back". Money followed the album with another Top 10 hit, "Walk on Water" (1988), but his Top 40 career ended after placing the number 21 "I'll Get By" in 1992. During the 1990s and 2000s, Money continues to release many compilation albums as well as albums featuring new material.
Since 1992 Money has traditionally opened the summer concert season for DTE Energy Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan. In January 2010, he performed a medley of his hit singles during a halftime show at Liberty Bowl. He still toured regularly, often accompanied by other leading rock acts from the 1970s and 1980s.

Personal life
Money damaged sciatic nerves during a barbituric overdose in 1980 and required intensive physiotherapy to return to normal.
Money and his wife Laurie have been married since 1989. They have five children: Zachary, Jessica, Joseph, Julian, and Desmond.
