Music Monday Obituary: Eric Carmen (1949-2024)
Posted By RichC on March 18, 2024
Five years ago for Music Monday I posted on Eric Carmen and a memory … well Brenda’s memory really, as he used her pharmacy in a NE Ohio decades ago. This past month his wife Amy Carmen shared that he passed away at the age of 74. ☹️
From MDB March 2019 (also shared an EricCarmen.com addition as a comment):
Brenda and I were talking about my blog and the fact that I include music with the occasional memory that it triggers.
She wondered if I included Eric Carmen, a singer/songwriter (and original Raspberries lead) that was a customer at her pharmacy in Shaker Heights, Ohio when we lived in east side suburbs for Cleveland, Ohio (University Heights, Aurora and then Hudson)?
“Nope I did not” … but even if the music wasn’t exactly my taste, it does make for a good excuse to include the above video and the below, Hungry Eyes from the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing. By the way, it was recorded in Beachwood Studios (Beachwood, OH).
Eric Carmen – Hungry Eyes | 1987
Raspberries – Go All The Way | 1972
