It was announced on Monday 11th March 2024 that American singer/songwriter Eric Carmen had passed away aged 74.
Eric of course was best remembered for his time with The Raspberries (circa 1972-1975) plus an extensive solo career from 1975 onwards.
Technically, a very accomplished musician and songwriter, who left a legacy of great songs over the years including 'All By Myself', 'Never Gonna Fall In Love Again', 'Hungry Eyes' (not one of his own tracks though he did sing it), 'Almost Paradise' plus his Raspberries hits 'Go All The Way', 'I Wanna Be With You' and 'Overnight Sensation'.
Thanks for the memories Eric.

The original review from Geir might come across as indifferent. But much of this album is really good. 'Escape' and…
Terrific, obscure Hi-Tech AOR in my book.
Great to see this album getting some love. 💜
