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.

There will never be another band like them.

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.

As a songwriter, Overnight Sensation is an anthem and a mantra. Just one song to remember me by would be all I could ever want. The Raspberries had more than a handful of memorable tunes, and the songwriting was a cut above many of their contemporaries. If you ever get a chance to experience Overnight Sensation, strap on your headphones and get ready to bask in the glow of studio magic that radiates from every stanza and chord change. Springsteen is correct in his summation of the ditty, as it still can give a person goosebumps! Seriously, use your headphones. You're gonna wanna hear every nuance of this beautifully constructed and wonderfully produced journey inside the music maker's head space... Enjoy! \m/ * * \m/

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!…

Thanks for sharing that...that's really why they need to be in the RHOF...their impact and influence are unmistakable. Thanks!

Ecstacy, Tonight, On The Beach, If You Change Your Mind, I Reach For The Light.....a consistent catalogue of well crafted hooky melodic songs and they could really rock!!

I loved this band when I was a kid. Constantly playing their records over n over again to learn the guitar parts. Overnight sensation, I wanna be with you, go all the way. Awesome music. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

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!

@poprocksradio 7 месяцев назад

I came to learn about them the same way...for the longest time, you never really heard much about Raspberries. I'm glad to see that has changed over the years...such a great and influential band. Thanks for watching!

@wilsoncrosby7451 8 месяцев назад

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!

@poprocksradio 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, Wilson, for your kind words! My hope with these videos is to expose these bands I love to our own little corner of the internet and let the music speak for itself. Thanks for watching!

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.

@poprocksradio 11 месяцев назад

Totally agree...Badfinger has never gotten the credit they deserve. Such a great band. Putting the finishing touches on the Cheap Trick video right now, btw! Thanks for watching!

@carlweaver3243 11 месяцев назад

@@poprocksradio 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.

@poprocksradio 11 месяцев назад

Great point about the volume of their material! My thought is that there is a Musical Influence award that would be perfect for them…Big Star, too. Thanks for watching!

@jackwezesa1081 10 месяцев назад

Todd Rundgren , Big Star ….

No mention of Free? Just as influential and a bit more talented, I think.

@poprocksradio 11 месяцев назад

Super talented, for sure. Paul Rodgers is easily one of the greatest vocalists in rock!

@alanlafromboise3156 6 месяцев назад

Free are a great band but In no way are they considered " Power Pop"!

Mott the Hoople, Al Stewart, Joe Jackson,and others. Super talented and yet largely unappreciated. Oh well.

@robbielux8353 3 месяца назад

I wouldn’t say more talented…as Eric Carmen was not only a phenomenal singer and songwriter but also a classically trained pianist.
