Eric Carmen was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Though classically trained in piano, Carmen decided to teach himself guitar as well. He is perhaps best known as the lead vocalist of the Raspberries, with whom he recorded four albums, including the hit “Go All The Way.” Carmen embarked on a solo career in 1975 and had global success with his songs, among others, “All “By Myself,” “Never Gonna Fall In Love Again,” “She Did It,” and “Hungry Eyes.” Sadly Eric Carmen died in March 2024.
