All by Myself - classic /

Very sad to hear and went too soon. The third Cleveland area talent to pass in the last half dozen years. Sonny Geraci, Michael Stanley and now Eric Carmen...

One of my favorites of all time

I remebered this when FM became popular in the 70s, this song came out was played in both contemporary and rock 'n roll stations.

I always loathed All By Myself, but adored many other songs with Eric at the helm. He was a talented composer, musician, and singer/performer. Many would recognize his song Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing. Take a moment to explore his music for a blast from the past. RIP Eric.

Dating my girlfriend (now wife) in the early 70's, we always chuckled about the high school couples that picked this below as "their song", encouraging all of us horn dogs to go where no man has before, LOL. Just celebrated our 47th., here's to my high school sweetie pie.......
Great beginning guitar riff: Sounds best LOUD

Rats, sad to hear this. I really liked a couple of his albums back in the day (c. late '70s).

 

[reemoeMO]

I liked his hit from 1988, "Make Me Lose Control."
