Played 'Hungry Eyes' many times in bands, very hard to sing it in the original key. Great performer. RIP

'Hungry Eyes' is well-remembered now, but wasn't a UK chart hit at the time.
I much prefer 'All By Myeslf' which was a top twenty hit in 1976.
R.I.P. Eric Carmen.

Gambon did a bit on his Radio 2 show about Carmen last week.
He had quite a career, but all I remember him for was Hungry Eyes and hadn't realised he wrote and did the original of All by Myself.
He made his breakthrough in a band called The Raspberries in the early 70s.

I watched a TOTP episode from 1976 last night and Eric popped up for a very brief chat with Noel Edmunds to plug his new single, All by Myself. Which was currently the American No1.
