Who is Eric Carmen?
Eric Carmen was an August 11, 1949 born musician, composer, and balladeer. He composed the Raspberries' biggest hit to date, Go All The Way.
All By Myself and Never Gonna Fall in Love Again, Carmen's first two hits as an individual artist, were enormous smashes when the Raspberries broke up in 1975. He sold more than fifty million records during his career. Eric didn’t want to join the Raspberries in 1999, but when they reunited in 2004 for a performance at Cleveland’s House of Blues, he changed his mind and shared the stage with them once again.

“It is with tremendous sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Eric Carmen. Our sweet, loving and talented Eric passed away in his sleep, over the weekend. It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy.
