Carmen became a solo artist with a number of hits in the late 70s and 80s, but I remember him best as the leader of The Raspberries. Loved that band, still listen to them occasionally in my truck, great driving music. Clip from their 2007 reunion.

Very sad, I enjoyed a lot of his music over the years.

Quite sad indeed. I'd been on a Raspberries/Carmen music binge on Spotify of late, reliving my youth in the 70s. RIP.

One of the great songs of the 70s.

Talented guy and too young to go.

He served some time for drunk driving in our jail. I spoke to him a few times. He was a really nice guy.
Not minority enough!

I noticed it too, have at least one LP I think. Hate hearing losing those in this age group now days.

How did he get the car in the jail?

He had quite the career, I put on a Spotify playlist of Eric Carmen last night on my drive home and never realized how many hits that guy had. I didn't realize he did "Hungry Eyes" for the movie Dirty Dancing too, I thought that was some other artist.

The man was one of the few rock stars that was MAGA. He did catch a lot of shit from fans and musicians for his Tweets. He was suspended/banned at one point after Jan. 6th, had posts removed.

Although he's most well known for All By Myself, to me, Hungry Eyes was much much better, and is great still .

There’s a request by the owner of the forum AKA Para to stop using that acronym here.
