    Its 1979 and I'm at the arrow lounge, scotch plains, new jersey, with Debbie Currie singing this to her. I was 19. She was 26. God did I love that woman. And those famous words. Keep singing baby and that voice of yours will get you to paradise. Thank you, guys. Another memory that makes life so special.

      She was a 32 year old American-Japanese goddess from Wenatchee WA, I was a 23 from Kansas City serving in the military in Oregon. There was no way it was ever going to work out, but it was pure bliss at the time. She said we were soul mates, but we both knew. Married for 34 years now to the right girl, but I still think about the 72 year old girl now and then. 😀

    Its 1980 and the first band i ever played in could rock this song. We couldnt play anything else, but we could nail this one. I thought i was the baddest bass player in the state woodsheding this line. Spent hours on the hook. We always started our show with this song and went downhill from there. Good memories and times.
    Thanks😎👍

    I love Lexington Lab Band, and this song brings me back to my High School years. I went to see Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and Eddie Money was the warm up band. At the time, I didn't really follow Eddie Money but I knew this song. Anyhow, as I recall, Eddie Money was awesome, especially when Two Tickets to Paradise was played, and also as I recall the Steelers were in the Super Bowl or something, and Eddie Money's guitar player came out wearing a team jersey which, of course, the fans went nuts over, and the guitar solo part just rocked. LLB has brought me back to many memorable moments and this replication of this song is one of them.
