Eric Carmen, Hungry Eyes and All By Myself singer, dies aged 74

Raspberries frontman, who had several big solo hits in the 70s and 80s, died in his sleep on the weekend

Eric Carmen, the frontman of the powerpop band Raspberries and singer of solo hits including All By Myself, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again and Hungry Eyes, has died aged 74. Carmen also had a hit with his contribution to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, Hungry Eyes, which put him back at the top of the music charts in 1987, reaching No 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the 1980s, Carmen’s singles did not reach the charts again, though he would tour with Ringo Starr and the All-Starr Band in 2000 and again with Raspberries in 2004, when they briefly reunited for some live performances.
