Multi tasking musical genius ... ballads, yes, rock star, yes...for those too young to remember, treat yourself to checking out Mr. Eric Carmen as the lead man of Raspberries. You will be surprised esp if you catch some YouTube Live Performances from 73;74...
@speakwhnspkn2 Yes, you are right! That is Michael McBride, who replaced original drummer Jim Bonfanti for the Raspberries 4th and final album "Starting Over." Mike was also in the pre-Raspberry band "Cyrus Erie" with Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson (as young kids in Cleveland).in the late 60s. Friends from way back..
Eric Carmen is amazing! All of the band is amazing and they have done a good job on the background vocals. Its a pity bands nowadays dont use back-up vocals they forgot the beauty of this element.
@ortigasraymundo Because today all music is FAKE, empty, soulless, and void of happiness. Just like the people. All a plan to destroy American strength and sovereignty. The breakdown of society started with FDR, then was picked up again by LBJ, and next in line was Carter, then Clinton, and now we have the king 0bama.
If you are smart enough to figure out the common denominator, then I need say no more.
The 70's were a magic time that GOD blessed upon the United States.
@HHH100 jesus you miserable prick, there's plenty of great music outside the top 40 radio-i love the 70's too it doesn't mean i want to live there LOL.
@KOSMICKEN09 You would know what I mean if you studied harmonics and physics. Harmonics can repair DNA or destroy DNA. In other words used correctly, it gives life. Used incorrectly it takes away life. Learn what I am talking about, and you will then know the truth.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's a testament to the talent of that time that this never hit the #1 spot in billboard. If it were released today, it would shoot straight to the top of the charts. Guaranteed.
@gellerkyahoo It was the first thing I thought, too. It's not my type of music...uploaded for someone else that couldn't find it. Everything's on the intertoobs. ;)
I WON'T. I'M DONE.

The guy on the drums looks like the guy that replaced the original drummer in Carmen's old group, The Raspberries.

@grneyelove Why couldn't you just let it go at "great song?" No one cares about him looking gay or whatever. Eric Carmen was and is a superb talent.

I think Mr Carmen has probably the best hair in the business, even in his older age! C x

I remember watching this in 1976. Eric and his whole group looked so gay, but I didn't realize it then. Only after I came out did it hit me.
