Eric Carmen, the singer-songwriter known for the hit song All By Myself, has died at age 74, his wife has announced. He rose to fame with the power pop group the Raspberries before establishing himself as a solo artist. Hungry Eyes, one of his huge solo hits, featured in 1987 cult movie classic Dirty Dancing. “Our sweet, loving and talented Eric passed away in his sleep, over the weekend,” Carmen’s wife Amy said in a statement on his official website. “It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy.” The Ohio-born singer co-founded the Raspberries in the early 1970s alongside Jim Bonfanti and Wally Bryson, who were later joined by Dave Smalley after the departure of John Aleksic. After four albums together, the band broke up in 1975 with Carmen then embarking on a solo career. Among the solo tracks he is most well-known for is All By Myself. As a songwriter, Carmen had hits including Almost Paradise from the Footloose soundtrack, as well as Never Gonna Fall In Love Again and Make Me Lose Control.
