Eric Carmen passed away this weekend (March 10 or 11). He scored a couple of hits in the late ‘60’s with his band, The Raspberries, including “Go All The Way” and “Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)”.

He also had success writing for other artists, evidenced by the hit, “Almost Paradise”, which he co-wrote in 1984 for Mike Reno (Loverboy) & Ann Wilson (Heart). He was 74.

The alto saxophonist was a highly regarded session player from the late 1960s onwards, playing with an array of well-known artists, such as James Brown, Bryan Ferry, Michael Stanley, Eric Clapton, Bobby Charles, Cat Stevens, Roger Daltrey, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Jaco Pastorius, the Brecker Brothers, Michael Franks, Kenny Loggins, Casiopea, Players Association, David Bowie, Todd Rundgren, Bruce Springsteen, Little Feat, Tommy Bolin, Bob James, James Taylor, Al Jarreau, Pure Prairie League, Kenny G, Loudon Wainwright III, George Benson, Joe Beck, Donny Hathaway, Elton John, Gil Evans, Carly Simon, Guru, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Joel, Kenny Garrett, Roger Waters, Steely Dan, Ween, the Eagles, Grateful Dead, Nena, Hikaru Utada, The Rolling Stones, Ian Hunter, and Toto. He certainly deserves recognition here (a yellow “special recognition” banner would not be inappropriate).

John Mayall deserves a yellow highlight.
He was one of the guiding lights of the British blues movement in the early to mid-1960s.
He is celebrated for the musicians he attracted into his band, the Bluesbreakers. Through his patronage of several important guitarists, notably Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor, he exerted an indirect but considerable influence on the course of rock music.
“So Many Roads”
Rest In Peace.
