variety.com/2024/music/obituaries-people-news/eric-carmen-dead-raspberries-singer-all-by-myself-go-all-the-way-1235938937/May Eric Carmen rest in peace My all-time favorite songs by him are... Go All the Way (1972) with Raspberries, #5 AT40All by Myself (1975) #2 AT40Never Gonna Fall in Love Again (1975) #11 AT40Hungry Eyes (1987) #4 AT40Make Me Lose Control (1988) #3 AT40PS www.robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=6780Consumer Guide Album Electric Light Orchestra: A New World Record [United Artists, 1976] Eat your diploma, Eric Carmen--after years of floundering, they've gone all the way and made a Moody Blues album with brains, hooks, and laffs galore. My fave is "Rockaria!", about a lass who "loves the way Puccini lays down a tune." Granted, I initially thought it was strictly for those who got off on music appreciation in high school, like the lass. But now I think it's also for those who hated it, like me. B+

Sad news. Eric wrote several songs that went on to be classics, maybe not earth shattering ones but a whole lot better than most people could come up with. And of their genre, pretty much top of the tree.
RIP Eric
