Eddie and The Cruisers: Tender Years
Thought I’d take a moment today and share one of my favorite songs with you. I’d heard it years ago when it was used in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers. It was billed as the fictional band, but it’s actually performed by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. The more time goes by, the more I love this song.

As always, my policy is that if anyone would like a download link for this song, just make a Comment below - I’ll hook you up with a link in a comment-reply of my own. Download links are automatically embedded in my RSS feeds.

Just want to say thank you for having such a wonderful meaningful song, this is one of my favorite song from the movie. I just love the movies that I watch them as much as I can, I just love hearing these kind of songs by someone who has a hot voice. A very Hot voice indeed, the kind of voice any woman would love to have their man sing like! I know I would. Keep his music going!!Rock on!!!
