A Loving Tribute to ERIC CARMEN

Eric Carmen 1949-2024

[@ebudae26]

Listened to all 4 raspberries cd's and the best of Eric Carmen yesterday. A super talent who should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Thank you for this heart felt tribute sir. I feel the same pain as you. I grew up listening to Eric and this may sound weird but I actually had a dream that I was at one of his concerts and the next morning after I woke up, I heard he passed. I've never dreamt about being at his concert before so it was almost like a premonition or something. I have been listening to his music non-stop since that day. There will never be another Eric Carmen.

[@matthewstreet1961]

I agree Jeff! Eric was brilliant, under appreciated, and will be truly missed! ✝️❤️

[@garywalden4009]

Recently, I ran across his song..."She Remembered"....it brought tears to my eyes, such a wonderful heartfelt song....may he rest in peace.

[@littlesister7021]

It's heartbreaking that the incredible Eric Carmen is gone. So talented. A fantastic singer and songwriter. One of the best. Plus, he was gorgeous. His songs will live on. I'm going to miss him so much. Love You, Eric, always. Rest in peace, beautiful and sweet soul. Heaven has gained another great voice. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Plus, all his fans. 🌹🙏

He was my "friend" on Twitter, I found him to be so intelligent, so humble and down to earth. What an incredible talent who I believe was under appreciated, perhaps because he didn't care about being politically correct. I'm sad to see him go, its the Worlds loss but Heaven just got a beautiful Singer and Artist 💔😔

[@alanstrom2221]

It's is really good to know there are other people on the Planet that are as passionate and emotional about music and the artsists that make it as I am. "Go all the Way" is a very important song in my life. The opening riff blew my 12 yr old head clean off when I first heard it. It was on a compilation album called "Explosive Hits '73" in Australia. 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

I think Eric was living in Paradise Valley, Arizona since 2020.Eric put his Gates Mills, Ohio home where he lived since the early 90's, on the market for sale several times since 2016 when he married 3rd wife Amy Murphy Carmen. I've listened to ERIC CARMEN since 1970 with "The Raspberries." Then followed all his solo music. My Uncle worked at A&M RECORDS, Hollywood from 1967-1999.I got to see so much music history being made. My condolences to Amy Carmen, his kids Clayton & Kathryn Carmen and his brother, Fred Carmen.

[@PeterByker]

Blue Oyster Cult frontman Eric Bloom, a big Raspberries fan, told a story very recently about both bands appearing on a random early concert bill, wherein the rowdy hard rocking B.O.C. fans gave The Raspberries no quarter, which in turn left Eric Bloom feeling mortified about the incident. He knew what a special, exciting band that they truly were, and deserved much more from the rabble. I too will continue to sing Eric Carmen's praises, help to educate the masses, and thank your for sharing your awesome tribute @Matthew Street 🕯

Another memorable artist close to my age has left the stage. While in college in 1972 I purchased the first Raspberries vinyl lp with the scratch-and-sniff sticker (still have it). And continued to buy his music through the solo releases. He composed so many memorable songs that will continue to be appreciated and enjoyed beyond now. “I Can Remember” was one of his best. He was such a talented musician. Thank you for making this tribute video.

Thank you for the tribute. Eric Carmen was one of my favorite artists. I have "Starting Over", "Boats Against the Current", & "Eric Carmen (1987)" albums. Great albums. Boats is easily one my top 10 albums of all time.

I hear you, Matthew. Such a sad loss in our musical lives. I’m only about 2 years older than you so I can relate to the stuff you were talking about… I carried my love for the Beatles/Monkees/Brit invasion//60s Top 40, etc. right through into the 70s and also got skewered most of the time for still liking bands like that , so when Eric & Co. came along, they were my new version of that great pop music… Never lost my love for it/them and never will… Long live Raspberries!

I was a little late to the Raspberry party. I bought "Raspberries Best" in 1977 when I was 15. I was pretty much "All Beatles, all the time" but the Raspberries blew me away and I wore out that album. My favorite song is "Let's Pretend" when Wally kicks that 12 sting in on the chorus.

[@matthewstreet1961]

[@nowhereman6496]

Carmen's talents very underrated. The Raspberries were a great band. I put them along with The Sweet, and Badfinger as those great early 70's power pop bands that put out a ton of great tunes. Why are the Raspberries and these other bands not in the Rock Hall?? Eric's first solo album is classic as well. I have it on vinyl and finally ordered it on cd. Have you ever heard the song he put out in support of trying to get Cleveland the Rock Hall. The song is called "The Rock Stops Here!". Great rocker from Eric. I bought a few copies on 45 back then and still have them. Wish I could find this track on cd. Anyway, great tribute Matt!

[@matthewstreet1961]

😢thank you!

I bought that Fresh Raspberries record when it came out. I previously purchased the 45s Go All The Way and I Wanna Be With You. Big part of my life soundtrack. Make Me Lose Control. Love that song.

This was the first I've learned of this. I tried to find out more information, but thus far, all we know is that he died in his sleep. His original version of "All By Myself" is on my personal '70s Spotify playlist. "Make Me Lose Control" is on my '80s playlist. It's good to listen to my favorite music without some disc jockey talking over the intro, or having to suffer through twenty minutes of ads, newscasts, traffic and weather reports.

Eric's music also meant same to me in 70s. It was AM radio thumbing its' nose at the upcoming FM music and the dream was still alive that AM could compete as staying power.

The first couple of times I heard "Hungry Eyes," it was in a public setting, and the song was being played over a radio that had bad sound quality, and I thought that it was Robin Zander singing.
