  Eric Carmen - Biography - AOL Music
Eric Carmen has amassed an impressive amount of hit singles over his long career, whether it be as a member of the influential power pop outfit the Raspberries, as a solo artist, or as a songwriter for others.
Born on August 11, 1949, in Cleveland, OH, Carmen began his musical training at an early age -- by the age of six, he was taking violin lessons, and by 11, he was playing piano and penning his own original compositions.
It was while Carmen was a student at John Carroll University that he joined a local group called Cyrus Erie, who, apart from issuing several obscure singles for Epic Records, failed to leave much of an impact outside of the local region.

 Adrift in the Seventies - Eric Carmen, Boats Against the Current
It was with this backdrop that scrawny 5'7" Cleveland-boy Eric Carmen emerged from the shadows in 1976.
The record wasn't without its moments in which Carmen overreached: the singer proclaimed shortly after the album's release that he wanted to be "the Fitzgerald of Rock," by any measure one of the stupidest claims in pop history.
Indeed, Carmen embraces them, leaving virtually all of the sixties confections of his debut behind, dismissed as immature and reminders of the teeny-bopper past that he was trying so hard to escape, though he no longer needed to.

 Eric Carmen Lyrics
When Cyrus Erie and the Choir collapsed at the end of the 1960s, Carmen, Bryson, Bonfanti and Smalley teamed up to form The Raspberries, a rock and roll band who were amongst the chief exponents of the power pop style.
Carmen followed up with two more albums (and declining chart fortunes, though the single "Change of Heart" broke the top 40) until 1980, before temporarily withdrawing from the music industry.
Carmen eschewed the use of a band on the recording, playing most of the instruments and programming the drum parts himself.

(This bio provided by allMusicGuide) Eric Carmen was the lead vocalist and songwriter of the Raspberries, an early-'70s band heavily influenced by mid-'60s pop, especially the Beatles.

Eric Carmen's second self-titled album (his first came in 1975) sinks deep into the love-song quagmire without any attempts at freeing itself.
Scoring a Top 40 hit with the sultry, bedroom essence of "I Wanna Hear It From Your Lips," Carmen took his lush romanticism to extremes, combing each track with gentle, tender lyrics that equal that of what Air Supply or Bread hold in their repertoire.
Three years after Eric Carmen was released, he showed that could bustle things up a bit with "Hungry Eyes" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, the song that gave him his first Top Ten single of the decade.
