Very talented and handsome gentleman. His music will live on forever.

I’ve always loved his music and his voice. Gone too young. RIP Eric.

I loved his music but if 74 years old is "too young", what's the sweet spot?

[@user-lk3pb9pe9z]

Incredible songs from Eric. Will be greatly missed..his music elicits Many very Great memories. R.I.P.💓💓💓

[@brian-ld4vd]

I just found out about this today. Very Sad. RIP

[@lainkietaenusa184]

Yeah me too I remember him in the 80 with hungry eyes and 90 too he was very handsome 😮😮😢😢

[@lyndamck3446]

RIP. Loved All by Myself. Such sad news 😊

[@EdCollects]

Yeah I'm REALLY bummed, I loved his music 😔

[@DejaView]

Wow, Can't believe! How well I remember the start back in the early '70s. Did lots of great stuff. A lot of us really identify with "All By Myself"....😢

[@EdCollects]

He had so many great songs 😔

[@--ag]

Go All the Way, l still listen to that song today! Love that song! ❤

[@dukecraig2402]

Then you're gonna like this, the white 1965 Gibson Melody Maker guitar that he used to record the song and can be seen using it in all his early performances of Go All The Way including on a 1974 episode of The Mike Douglas Show which can be seen here on KZbin is the same exact guitar that Joan Jett recorded all her early solo music with, it can be seen being played by her in the music videos for all those early songs along with being with her on some album covers, he sold it to her in the late 70's and she used it pretty much exclusively for years, but one day some time back when she was looking at it she realized how much history it has behind it and she put it away and hasn't played it since for fear of something happening to it.

I’ve never seen a YT musician profile that without a commenter claiming the subject was “underrated”. If every single musician is underrated it’s time to change the rating system. SMH
