He was only 74, which seems awfully young to me. I loved All By Myself.

And I think their album covers at one point smelled like raspberries. Oh man now I’m really giving away my age

I never really knew him from that far back.. just from the song Hungry Eyes in Dirty Dancing. I didn't even know he sang that song All By Myself. Rick Springfield put a long nice statement on his FB page. Apparently he used to open for The Raspberries and been friends ever since. I'm always singing All By Myself as a joke around the house if I am being ignored.. lol

Oh no...I love All By Myself. My adult kids tease each other with that song as my ODS is just always alone. So my DD belts that one out to him.

I was very sad to hear of his passing. I loved his music and songwriting skills. Rick Springfield posted a beautiful tribute to him as well as Shaun Cassidy who sang Eric's songs That's Rock n Roll and Hey Deanie two of Shaun's biggest hits. Hungry Eyes and All By Myself are such great songs.

Just listened to Go All The Way for old times' sake. It's a surprisingly complex pop song. I love harmony based pop. Funny, I didn't realize those later songs of his (Hungry Eyes and All By Myself) were done by him.
