The Underlooked Bands - Raspberries 

Rest In Peace Eric Carmen. Thanks for all the music sir.

As a teenager in Cleveland in the 70s, I loved Raspberries! Thank you, Eric Carmen for the music.

AM radio fans loved Raspberries music in the 70's. I was at Charlotte High School in Rochester, NY in the 1970s when the Raspberries came out. I still remember buying their first self-titled "Vinyl" album with the "Scratch and Sniff" sticker on the front. Yes, if you scratched it, it smelled like Raspberries! They had a lot of great songs but my two favorites were, "I Can Remember," and "If You Change Your Mind." I had lost a high school sweet heart back then, and it seemed every one of Eric's words resonated with the feelings I was going through. After Eric left the band for his solo career in the late 1970s, I believe it was the Summer of 1975, I saw the remaining band with Wally Bryson on lead guitar, doing a show at the Hilton High School gymnasium in Hilton, NY. The Raspberries were Great with Eric and Eric had many hits alone and it was great they re-united in the later years to do great shows together again. Thanks for a Great story, Thanks Eric, Thanks Raspberries for Great memories... ♥✝🙏

The Raspberries don't get the respect they deserve, I've often heard them criticized for merely being a pastiche of their 60's influences but they really had musical talent and could rock as well. I'm a fan.

Well, for a year they had their moment of fame, but with a teenybopper image. When they tried to repair that (with a few fantastic albums and more singles), the teenies lost interest and the proggies had already dismissed them... A frustrated Eric Carmen gave up and went solo. Here in Europe, they never made it big but nevertheless got some airplay at the time and I became a super fan, and still am, they are an important part of my musical canon and love for power pop, with the likes of Badfinger and Big Star of course. Great they made such a fine reunion album, you're totally right, and thanks for your nice story💗

RIP Eric Carmen-Thanks to The Raspberries for such great timeless music.

I love the Raspberries...but I must also give a shout out to Badfinger.

I've been a big fan of The Raspberries since their first album. I still have all 4 albums. Eric Carmen was and is an exceptional song writer and singer with the band and solo.

Great band to me. Important part of my musical journey. Great video work too. Thank you for sharing.

A huge fan of your musical career Eric Thank You for bringing great joy and happiness in your music for myself and many Your music will continue to live on R.I.P.

So many more great tracks across the four you didn't mention. One fave of mine is Last Dance with their jangly Ricks. RIP Eric.

These guys are incredible

I loved them from when I first heard the opening riffs to Go All The Way in the Summer of 1972.

RIP Eric Carmen

The Raspberries were one of my favorite bands and I wore out their records as I worked on my drumming chops.

私の青春時代はラズベリーズのレコードを聴きまくっていました。エリックは後世に残る名曲を残してくれた偉大なミュージシャンです。彼が亡くなった事がショックですが彼の曲は永遠に残ります。ご冥福を祈ります。たくさんの名曲をありがとう。

The best of the power pop groups! I second your recommendation- I just love their Pop Art Live recording from 2017 of their reunion performance!

I used to see these guys play at JBs in Kent, Ohio

❤❤ Raspberries please do a tribute for Eric in Cleveland Ohio for free so we can come together and remember him ❤❤

Go to the interview with Dick Clark where he interviews Eric. Eric mentions Cleveland and I think someone in the audience says something. But Eric reminds them there are great musicians coming out of Cleveland. Stigma, thinking it had to be NY or LA.

Go Cleveland Love these guys glad they came back together One of a kind from mere talent

Love the Raspberries..hoping for another Reunion tour

.....EXCELLENT!!!!

Great review !!

Good call and great taste!!

Benjamin Orr dated Wally Bryson’s sister in the sixties when he lived in Cleveland.

Disagree, I LOVED them!!

Does anyone know what concert is going on at the one minute mark? Where they are singing I Want to be With You.

Common error.....it's just "Raspberries", not "The Raspberries".

Are they ever going to tour/play live again?

I miss the Agora
