Actually Eddie had another hit in the 80's called, "Put Your Mouth On Me." I'd decline that offer and the song! But he's had a helluva run on film!

Not to put you on blast but, "Put Your Mouth On Me" went to #27 on the US charts putting it squarely in the top 100. And it went to #2 on the U.S. R&B Charts making it as you say...a Top Ten Hit...in its own genre.

I am sure that Vh1 means well but, a hit is a hit! Eddie has had 2. And I don't remember mentioning "Top Ten" in my earlier post. I said that the song was a hit...which it was.
