Five Best: Eric Carmen

We love doing these Five Best* features because they capture in a nutshell the significance of some of the artists who are not superstars.  Today, we look at a Cleveland singer/songwriter who we feel is greatly unappreciated.  He received classical music training at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and was once the lead singer of the Raspberries.  He then went solo in 1975, and here are Eric Carmen's Five Best* plus some treats, from Inside The Rock Era:

1.  "All By Myself"

 

 

  

 

 

2.  "Nowhere To Hide"






 

 

3.  "Make Me Lose Control"

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  "Hungry Eyes 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.  "Never Gonna' Fall In Love Again

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Sunrise"

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Boats Against The Current"
