    Summer of 1972 and I was in Provincetown Mass with my girlfriend on vacation when I first heard Go All The Way on my little radio. Wow ! I heard the Beatles, Who, Small Faces and Beach Boys in that song but still with it's own signature. I bought all their albums over the years. One of my favorite bands.

    RIP Eric Carmen.. The raspberries played a huge role in my musical journey. I was not alive when they were around but their influence on my songwriting is all there..especially as I got more into power pop which is now my favorite sub genre. He will be missed and yes The Raspberries should definitely be in the Rock Hall Of Fame!…

    Raspberries were magic with melody - that was the key. Their melodies were catchy yet unique and often had well built-in dynamics that were unlike what anyone else was doing. In retrospect, the lyrics were a bit adolescent... but they'll always have a special place in my musical heart.

    i discovered Eric’s solo work first before i found raspberries and i couldn’t believe he was once a hard rocker who played a huge part in the power pop genre what a talented individual Cleveland’s own Paul McCartney!

    THIS is how you profile an influential, but often overlooked band like the Raspberries. Just enough information about their founding, career and aftermath. Relevant quotes from their contemporaries and admirers. Nothing about their personal lives. I have always felt that the online presenter's role was that of a curator, not an opinion-maker. Great job Bijan!

    As much as I Love the Raspberries, Badfinger was Recording Power Pop 3 Years earlier with their LP No Dice. I consider The Beatles, The Who, Badfinger, The Raspberries, Big Star, The Guess Who, Todd Rundgren and Cheap Trick as the Purveyors of Power Pop Music.

      Side note. It's interesting to Me that the Beatles, McCartney mostly, didn't further explore Come And Get It for Abbey Road. I think it would've been a way better choice to record instead of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, which I cannot stand. They might've slowed it down a bit, put some Heavy Guitar and maybe some Synthesizer for an instrumental break and then back to the Did I Hear You Say.... part and then an instrumental ending. Badfinger did a great job with it, per Paul's instructions.

    Not enough Material to make thee Hall of Fame.
    I do like Eric Carmen All By Myself.
    It's based on. Classical music by Rachmaninoff. The chorus is different.
    But the melody is clearly Classical music.
