The music world mourns the loss of Eric Carmen, a singer-songwriter who left an indelible mark on pop music with his soaring vocals and timeless hits. Carmen, known for his work as the frontman of the Raspberries and his successful solo career, died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 74. A Rich Tenor and Pop Pioneering with the Raspberries Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1949, Eric Carmen displayed a passion for music from a young age. Influenced by the British Invasion bands of the 1960s, he honed his skills as a classically trained pianist and vocalist. After playing in local bands, Carmen co-founded the Raspberries in 1969. The band's signature sound, a blend of pop, rock, and power pop sensibilities, found a dedicated following. Their 1972 self-titled debut album, featuring the hit single "Go All the Way," reached No. 5 on the Billboard charts and established the Raspberries as pioneers of the power pop genre. Though the band only released four studio albums before disbanding in 1975, songs like "I Wanna Be With You" and "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" remain fan favorites. "All By Myself" and Solo Stardom Embarking on a solo career, Carmen immediately captured the hearts of listeners with his 1975 debut album. The album's lead single, "All By Myself," became a global phenomenon, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving gold certification in the US and UK. The song's powerful melody, built upon Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, showcased Carmen's exceptional vocal range and songwriting prowess. "All By Myself" cemented Carmen's status as a pop music icon and continues to resonate with audiences today. Chart-Topping Success and Beyond Carmen's follow-up albums, "Boats Against the Current" (1977) and "Change of Heart" (1978), featured additional hits like "She Did It" and "Love Is All That Matters." While these albums didn't replicate the stratospheric success of "All By Myself," they solidified Carmen's reputation as a gifted songwriter and performer. In the early 1980s, Carmen continued to release music, including his self-titled 1984 album featuring the hit "I Wanna Hear It from Your Lips." However, his biggest commercial success in this period came unexpectedly. The song "Hungry Eyes," written by Franke Previte and John DeNicola for the blockbuster film "Dirty Dancing," became a global smash hit in 1987. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard charts and remains one of Carmen's most recognizable songs. Eric Carmen: A Legacy of Songwriting and Performance Eric Carmen's influence on popular music is undeniable. His work with the Raspberries helped shape the power pop genre, while his solo career produced timeless ballads that continue to touch listeners across generations.

How could I love you if I don’t know me? I wish I waited for the sun I stood too long in the rain I only ever wanted one But there’s no gift without the pain We let our guards down We stood before each other In shallow water we drowned Never loved another How could I love you if I don’t know me? How could I cross that bridge and not breathe? How could I know you if I don’t love me? How could I not see? In time faces change Our places shift And time remains the same These sails drift And forward we go Without direction or lust Towards anyone we know Forgetting our trust How could I love you if I don’t know me? How could I cross that bridge and not breathe? How could I know you if I don’t love me? How could I not see? #gaypoet #gaysongwriter #gayartist #gayman #hungryeyes #lgbtartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CodeU4Vua6c/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Veronique - The Red Dress from HungryEye on Vimeo.

The Red Dress has been in my wardrobe trunk for some time, waiting for just the right model. Veronique is that model. She looks so good in the dress, I almost didn't want her to take it off. I had a change of heart on that.

I did #laundry today, and this is what I wore. I don't know what it is, but there were many people passing in the hallway as I walked to and from the laundry room.. mostly #men Every single #man looked me up and down.. I have no idea if they were checking me out or judging my fashion sense and/or #hair Am I missing something that's different about me? I never got that many looks(counted 8) during the summer.. maybe I never noticed. I legitimately want to know what it is. #Pose #LaundryDay #CheckItOut #CheckMeOut #HungryEyes #Fashion #Judge #Sweat https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PvH6dDAJ5/?igshid=ei1uu2d3eebw
