Money attended the New York Police Academy in the early 1970s to become a New York police officer. He worked briefly at the NYPD, but soon found his calling as a singer. He moved first to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco where he joined with guitarist Jimmy Lyon to form the backbone of the distinctive Money sound. By 1976, he signed to CBS Records with the late promoter Bill Graham. In the subsequent decades, Money released more than a dozen albums, many of which produced memorable classic rock tunes that reached into the upper echelons of the music charts.
