He was a high school classmate of a friend of mine.

Sad news! RIP Eric.

 

[FunkHead]

RIP Eric.

 

[Michael Jewels]

Sad.

Part of my youth gone.

R.I.P., Eric.

 

[LowendG]

Such a great songwriter. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

 

[Bob_Ross]

Oh bummer. Yeah, "Go All The Way" was definitely a part of my youth; that's one of those songs that used to play on the AM radio in my mom's Volkswagen Beetle when I was a wee pre-teen that made me know I wanted to be a fulltime musician.

 

[Acoop]

All By Myself I believe was one of his.

So great. And what an unusual structure to this tune, yet everywhere it goes makes perfect sense.

[Bunk McNulty]

Such a great songwriter. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

He put the "power" in Power Pop.

 

[Chrisk-K]

He was a fantastic vocalist. “Never gonna fall in love again” is my fav EC song.

 

[bassman10096]

Too bad. Another one gone.

All By Myself I believe was one of his.

Why does ‘All By Myself’ sound like Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2? - Classic FM

Rest in peace, my fellow Eric. I've often thought "Hungry Eyes", though lyrically cringey, is musically brilliant. The production, chord structure and vocal talent on that track are all exemplary.

Ecstasy is a great Raspberries song as well.

 

[jchrisk1]

Damn. Now I feel like I'm All By Myself.

 

[TheCouchBassist]

My mom and dad had The Raspberries album “Fresh Raspberries”. I remember that album from when I was a kid in the early 70’s as the LP label (in the middle of the LP) was scratch and sniff to smell like raspberries. I remember “Go All the Way” from that same period of time.

Such sad news.
