It's 10.30pm Tuesday night 12/03/2024 and I've just flicked the T.V. over to Ch 9 in Sydney. They were showing The Raspberries "Go all the Way" I thought "Why are they playing that?" "Is Eric touring soon?" Then I thought "Oh no he hasn't died" "Has he?" My fears were confirmed by the news voice over person. "Eric Carmen was 74" Now I can't stop crying. Not only did Eric help create one of the greatest, mind blowing Guitar riffs in Rock history, he then composed some of the most tasteful Ballads of all time. Good quality Ballads are extremely hard to write. Thanks for the great music and the brilliant singing voice Eric. Eric lived a successful existence and died peacefully in his sleep. "Come on Baby!!!" RIP - Eric Carmen
Not enough kids (especially in the US) nowadays listen to quality music; they prefer the dribble and crap of today. Even today, since I discovered the superb vocalists overseas, I can never listen to US music the same way.
This is my favorite Eric Carmen song ❤️ I hate when people call this a Celine Dion song. No hate to Celine but you have to give credit where credit is due.
In 1976 my family drove from southern Ontario to Florida for a vacation. This was one of the songs we heard repeatedly on Top 40 radio stations along the way. Yes, 1970s music is hard to beat!
2:51 "he really seems lonely" ....exactly! That's the beauty and genius of his song and his performance of it. Something the cover versions completely seem to ignore, no doubt Celine has a crazy voice but her rendition of this song is such a drop from the original IMO.
He is the original...been my favorite song for 45 years! There have been a lot of covers of this song but his version is the most painful (passionate) and has that piano solo. Thanks for playing this 💞
Eric Carmen was a Beatles fan. The Beatles still the world's greatest band even after 50 years after their breakup. No autotune and they wrote and played all their instruments. The slide crying guitar sounds like George Harrison type guitar solo.
The very first song on this album "Sunrise" is a GREAT song. The whole album is a treasure. This man never got the recognition he deserved as a song writer. He was unique and very talented. He had a hit years later called "Hungry Eyes" but this was his debut solo album and the whole album is wonderful. I just don't understand why he didn't have a bigger career than he did. He is a very good artist.
Eric was playing in the Cleveland area at the same time my band was. We were competitors. He was very good. I'm not sure if I ever met him but all of the local bands were constantly meeting up and sometimes jamming with each other. I love this song.
Carmen was lead singer for the Raspberries from '70 thru '74. This solo album was released in late 1975. Song reached number 2 for three straight weeks in Jan 1976. The first of a string of Top 40 hits.
Wow! I've known this song all of my life and since it came out on the radio (1975) but I've NEVER heard this long version with the extended piano étūde! So cool that we got to react to it together!
@@capt.blueberry9719 damn it you beat me to it. Side note I think Eric Carmen didn't know the rules to global music rights and this song slipped through and had to pay for royalties.
Can remember when the Celine Dion version came out in 1996/1997 & being amazed that anybody would even try covering this perfection from my childhood-she stripped it of pretty much all emotion, as has every other cover I have heard of it.
Hi And yet, Celine somehow managed to turn in the definitive version. As evidenced by the numerous covers based on that version. Often imitated, never duplicated.
Listen to the original melody in the 2d movement of Rachmaninoff's 2d Piano Concerto. Eric did a great job capturing the incredible sense of melancholy that was in the concerto.
Eric Carmen was the lead singer of the group "The Raspberries". I think he also did the soundtrack to the movie "Dirty Dancin'". The song was 'Hungry Eyes'.
When they played this on the radio, they always cut out the piano piece in the middle (for time) This is the song you listened to after your boyfriend dumped you in high school :(
Eric was on the turntable in my bedroom for a long time when I was growing up. Turns out he is a great guy, too. He followed me on Twitter (along with many others). "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again," is one I love very much. I will be back to check out some of the other music you have. Thanks for noticing him. (Spoiler alert: he's had a beautiful marriage and life.) 🥰❤
I used to sing this to my son. Now he sings it to his little girls. He told us that one day the three year old was singing it to herself when she was put down for a nap!
Eric Carmen wrote lyrics to a Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. He took the music and added the words. Another famous piece is "Never fall in love again' is also a famous Rachmaninoff piece.
This was the original; I believe co written with Eric Carmen. Great songwriter, and singer; he even wrote under the radar for other artists. "Almost Paradise" was his from "Footloose" [1984] and "Hungry Eyes" from the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack [1987]
Raymond C Nilsson didn’t write ‘Without You’, it was written and first performed by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger. Nilsson made the best version, IMO.
When the Beatles broke up it seemed like the end of greatness in music and it left many of us wondering what direction it would go in. But it turned out that the Beatles had a very long lasting influence, inspiring a generation of singer songwriters who connected their personal experiences with all of us. The 70’s turned out to be a fantastic era of its own and looking back now I am in full appreciation
Yes! I've still got the LP! But got it on CD so I could play in the car on drives! I played this LP over and over until my parents bought me a different one just to they wouldn't have to hear it anymore! LOL!
This original version is so smooth and easy yet soulful. Celine is my favorite singer of all time but yet this is still my preferred version. I mean its the original and you can hear why it was such a hit.
Eric Carmen began as the lead singer and main songwriter for The Raspberries. A great band that was very popular in the early to mid seventies. He left them in 1975 or so. This song was released in 1976 along with another big hit for him, titled, Never Gonna Fall In Love Again. He's had a very good solo career. Teen idol, Shaun Cassidy, had big hits with two of Eric Carmen's songs. Hey Deanie and That's Rock and Roll...
I remember this devastating song. I was just a kid. But here is my take on this... he was happy just doing his own thing and using people, using girls. But when he got older everyone had went on without him and nobody cared. He was harvesting the devastating loneliness caused by his keeping people outside of his heart. But now he realizes how much they meant to him and it’s too late.
I had respected Eric for years after hearing him launch the song at 3:27 into Sergei Rachmaninoff's piano concerto in C minor. Songwriters plucked two absolutely gorgeous melodies from Rachmaninoff's concerto: Full Moon and Open Arms, and Eric's All By Myself. Eric did such a splendid job with Rachmaninoff, I often wished he would play the entire concerto. Regardless, I grew up learning classical music and totally broke loose when Rock, R&B, Funk, and jazz fusion hit the world. But I always had, and will have, a special place in my heart for such an emotive, accomplished, and sensitive talented musician and gifted songwriter. Honestly, Eric had it all, and it still irks me that he's often overlooked as one of the finest musical talents of his era.
Funny how they never got the national acclaim they deserved....same with the James Gang. Used to listen to them both at JB's in Kent in the early 70's.😂
t-m. d. r. I used to see them out at the old Hullabaloo in Chesterland, OH. I’ll never forget how Eric always walked through between sets with a hairbrush and a can of hairspray in his back pants pockets. Also very snobby and stuck up! But yeah, his voice was golden, so we loved him anyway!😘
He said “when I was young, I never needed anyone…those days are gone.” He wants to be with someone at this point. It’s more about the music than the lyrics. The music makes you feel so much. Go with it.
Eric Carmen...Great singer and songwriter. He wrote All By Myself using music based on a classical piece. Huge hit reaching #2 in the US and # 1 in Canada. Check out his album Boats against the current. Brilliant. Also any of his music with The Raspberries. Excellent. Love you inda!❤❤
This is wonderful, that this generation is being introduced to the past music 🎶 and artists, makes me so happy!!! And the music doesn't totally covef over the lyrics of the message in the skngs!!! Old music.. Is an EXPERIENCE !!!
One of my all time favorites. If you’ve ever seen Guardians of the Galaxy you’ve heard Eric Carmen when he was with the Raspberries. Its a song called Go all the way. He’s great
India you are listening to the original composure and lyrics of this wonderful song in the seventies Eric Carmen He was the lead singer for Eric Carmen in the raspberries during the 1970s which had several. Later on he produced the musical soundtrack album for dirty dancing and also composed one of his primary songs on the album which was hungry Eyes" has well as helping with the production of the other wonderful music and production on this movie soundtrack.forr the 1987 dirty dancing movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray.
The guitar solo was by studio musician Hugh McCracken. I had to look that up because I thought it sounded a lot like George Harrison. Bought this album as a teenager in 1975. One of my favorites, still listen to it to this day, all these decades later. Love all the homages to Rachmaninov on the album, whole melodies. No cover will ever be as good as the original.
This used to be my theme song. He's the composer of this composition. A very talented classical pianist. The musical interlude is hauntingly beautiful! Yes, through high school and long afterward, it was my theme song. 😞
This was the epitomy of the 70's "POWER BALLAD" this song was also covered and revived to a new audience by Celine Dion. Always used to belt this out with Eric back in the day Great Lyric great arrangement this is a true classic Nice reaction as always glad to see you getting exposed to so many of these old greats!
This is one of the songs I remember hearing at the Drive-in movies and they would play this on the speaker you hung on your car window. With the low quality speakers, gave this song an even more sad and Lonely. There was another song that was played and I can't think of it at the moment..........I'll try to think of it and post it later.............
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 12, we had just dropped my best friend with her parents to return to Augusta after visiting me in Savannah and THEN the news of Elvis passing came over the radio. Not a good day!
Eric Carman was original. 60’s/70’s was so great. I’m so glad you are discovering these oldies. Love watching your reaction. When my grandchildren are here and here my music they are amazed. I will continue watching you India

No COVER, NObody comes close to this Eric Carmens song...
Is a MASTERPIECE
Actually, there is a good cover of his song never going to fall in love again. takes place in a japanese piano bar of all places, worth checking out

Thanks for the great music and the brilliant singing voice Eric.
Eric lived a successful existence and died peacefully in his sleep.
"Come on Baby!!!"

It's fun to watch kids today rediscover the old popular music.
I love it!
Not enough kids (especially in the US) nowadays listen to quality music; they prefer the dribble and crap of today. Even today, since I discovered the superb vocalists overseas, I can never listen to US music the same way.
It is the best.........
It sure is!
Agreed and then watch them react x
This is my favorite Eric Carmen song ❤️ I hate when people call this a Celine Dion song. No hate to Celine but you have to give credit where credit is due.
In that case, thank Rachmaninoff. This is from his Piano Concerto No 2.
@@devinup3981 yes! I totally agree!
Is the same with Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Johnny Cash and Céline made their best
Agree agree agree!
Does it make you lose control?
I'm telling you girl. 70s music was the BEST!!!!
Agree🍻👍
@INCOMUDRO JJPG IV I went from 9 to 19!!
10 to 20 .....perfect!
In 1976 my family drove from southern Ontario to Florida for a vacation. This was one of the songs we heard repeatedly on Top 40 radio stations along the way. Yes, 1970s music is hard to beat!
Preach
Harry Neilsson ''without you'' beautiful powerful singing along the lines of this song
Oh yes! Perhaps the best song of all time
I was thinking of recommending it to her and then I read your comment
peteypete1216 written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger who recorded it as well. Same deal. They never got the public credit they deserved.
2:51 "he really seems lonely" ....exactly! That's the beauty and genius of his song and his performance of it. Something the cover versions completely seem to ignore, no doubt Celine has a crazy voice but her rendition of this song is such a drop from the original IMO.
Throughout the years this song has pushed me to keep going many times when I felt all alone and abandoned
The missing element in modern music?Real musicians playing real music.
On real instruments.
No shit!
Yup.
Computer music is too easy...no soul.
Not to mention writing their own music.
Oooo I absolutely love Eric Carmen. This is one of those songs you have to listen to with your eyes closed.
He is the original...been my favorite song for 45 years! There have been a lot of covers of this song but his version is the most painful (passionate) and has that piano solo. Thanks for playing this 💞
Eric Carmen was a Beatles fan. The Beatles still the world's greatest band even after 50 years after their breakup. No autotune and they wrote and played all their instruments. The slide crying guitar sounds like George Harrison type guitar solo.
Rarely hear this song any more - thanks for covering it. The 70s decade had the best music IMO. xo
Scarlett O'Hara 70’s definitely was the best. So glad I was a teenager then. 😀👋🇦🇺
Your are a cutie and learning about MY music, I am 71!!!
Isn't she?
I love Celine, but I grew up listening to Eric's haunting voice on this one! beautiful piece of music!
The very first song on this album "Sunrise" is a GREAT song. The whole album is a treasure. This man never got the recognition he deserved as a song writer. He was unique and very talented.

I agree 100% it’s such a great album and boats against the current too
Oh my goodness, a real blast from the past. Took me right back to being a child in the 70s.
Me too...but I was in Brazil...
Gotta listen to Go All the Way... by his group The Raspberries
Yes.love that song
Great song. Don't think I knew that was him.
Along with several other good songs like "I Wanna Be With You," "Let's Pretend," and "Hit Record: Overnight Sensation" just to name a few.
love the raspberries
My favorite of his songs. Banned by BBC in the 70s for being too risque. lol If we only knew then how music would evolve...
Eric Carmen was lead singer of the Raspberries "Go All The Way a big hit. There's a Midnight Special live performance of that song and it's great
Eric was playing in the Cleveland area at the same time my band was. We were competitors. He was very good. I'm not sure if I ever met him but all of the local bands were constantly meeting up and sometimes jamming with each other. I love this song.
My childhood is flashing before my eyes. I miss the 70's
Same here. This song was just so epic & perfect for a tween or teen. Lol.
Yeah today's music has a lot of technology, 60s 70s 80s we had magic. Greatest music ever.
He also sang "Hungry Eyes" from Dirty Dancing the movie.
One of my favorites!
Carmen was lead singer for the Raspberries from '70 thru '74. This solo album was released in late 1975. Song reached number 2 for three straight weeks in Jan 1976. The first of a string of Top 40 hits.
BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL E. CARMEM The Best....The original...🇧🇷🇧🇷🇵🇹🇵🇹
Eric Carmen had another rely popular song out called Make Me Lose Control. You will love it I'm sure.
Wow! I've known this song all of my life and since it came out on the radio (1975) but I've NEVER heard this long version with the extended piano étūde! So cool that we got to react to it together!
Yeah, I’ve never heard the extended piano version either.
Yeah he played it on 70s live too.
"Make me lose control" was another hit of his that was rather popular back in the day.
Celine Dion did a remake. Eric Carmen did the original.
No. The theme is a piece of Sergei Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2, 2nd movement. Composed around 1900.
@@capt.blueberry9719 damn it you beat me to it. Side note I think Eric Carmen didn't know the rules to global music rights and this song slipped through and had to pay for royalties.
@@cameranmanner4701 Didn't knew that. But it's true. He got sued and had to pay 12% royalty fees.
indeed
@@capt.blueberry9719 but the lyrics and most memorable part is his original lmao
I'm a HUGE fan of Eric Carman. You should hear Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing and Lose Control.
Eric played the piano also so beautifull

Hey girl friend, you are listening to one of the greatest song writers and singers of all time. Eric Carmen's music is so pretty.
I used to sing this to my son. Now he sings it to his little girls. He told us that one day the three year old was singing it to herself when she was put down for a nap!
love this song. Hungry Eyes is a good song of his or Never Gonna Fall in Love Again
with this song you are getting the best of classic and modern music.
He wrote this. The album is heart wrenching.
Original singer, original songwriter. I love Eric
LOVE this song and Eric Carmen!!! 💖👍
another lonely love song from 70's. this is eric's original song. great song. top shelf singing.
Song was played during the opening scene from the first “Bridget Jone’s Diary” movie....”you have no new messages”...
Eric Carmen solo hit after his band " The Raspberrys"- , ..try his "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again"
Great song! And "Sunrise" and "Everything" This was an incredible debut solo album. Still have the LP.
Eric Carmen is everything ❤️❤️❤️
Eric Carmen wrote lyrics to a Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2. He took the music and added the words. Another famous piece is "Never fall in love again' is also a famous Rachmaninoff piece.

@@lcozzarelliI stand corrected 😜 and agree about nilsson excellent version!!
Eric was in a great band called the Raspberries. They had many good songs like; Go all the Way, I can Remember and many others. Check them out.

He is a prolific music composer. He has written for so many artists.
Stand tall by Burton Cummings.
Thanks, I'd almost forgotten that one.
He also sang “Hungry Eyes” that was on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

The pride of Cleveland, Ohio, The Raspberries.
Funny how they never got the national acclaim they deserved....same with the James Gang. Used to listen to them both at JB's in Kent in the early 70's.😂
t-m. d. r.
I used to see them out at the old Hullabaloo in Chesterland, OH. I’ll never forget how Eric always walked through between sets with a hairbrush and a can of hairspray in his back pants pockets. Also very snobby and stuck up!
But yeah, his voice was golden, so we loved him anyway!😘
Some of the best powerpop ever made.
He said “when I was young, I never needed anyone…those days are gone.” He wants to be with someone at this point. It’s more about the music than the lyrics. The music makes you feel so much. Go with it.

May I suggest....Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again, Naturally. Or, Janis Ian - At Seventeen. I think you will like these.
I agree Janis Ian please! I love her singing "At Seventeen" I'm a guy and i can feel her pain in that song.
One of those sad, but very beautiful songs. Fantastic voice and lyrics.

i highly recommend Eric carmens album " Boats against the current " its brilliant and sadly Eric was and is underrated.....
India, don't let yourself get too caught up in the lyrics. Just let yourself feel. This song has gorgeously "moody" piano.
beautiful! i think you would love 'go all the way' by the Raspberries...
Anybody remember , Run Joey Run'. That song had me terrified to bring boys around in the 70's.
Great singer and artist.
This used to be my theme song. He's the composer of this composition. A very talented classical pianist. The musical interlude is hauntingly beautiful! Yes, through high school and long afterward, it was my theme song. 😞
Welcome to the Sappy 70s! You couldn't get away fro, them, you had to just sit back and let them play, enjoy it.
Eric Carmen is on Twitter! I checked this album out from the library in the 11th grade--so I could copy it onto an 8 track tape!
This was the epitomy of the 70's "POWER BALLAD" this song was also covered and revived to a new audience by Celine Dion. Always used to belt this out with Eric back in the day Great Lyric great arrangement this is a true classic Nice reaction as always glad to see you getting exposed to so many of these old greats!
The original of this song, written by Eric, I knew him years ago of the leader of the Raspberries, Go all the way in 1972 !
Please go all the way......master piece by Eric Carmen
This is one of the songs I remember hearing at the Drive-in movies and they would play this on the speaker you hung on your car window. With the low quality speakers, gave this song an even more sad and Lonely.
There was another song that was played and I can't think of it at the moment..........I'll try to think of it and post it later.............
Try Harry Nilsson - Without You and/or Everybody's Talking. Both are great songs.
"Never Gonna Fall In Love Again"....another classic by Eric. This is like the Blues genre.....somehow it is uplifting.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 12, we had just dropped my best friend with her parents to return to Augusta after visiting me in Savannah and THEN the news of Elvis passing came over the radio. Not a good day!
Heart wrenching song to me but beautiful none the less.
One of my favorite songs of all time🎶💕
Great singer. Also sang with the Raspberries.
He's amazing! Listen to Love is all that matters and Boats against the current!!!
The 70’s was the best music ever!!!!!!!!
He has so many great songs and when he was on the raspberries
