Eric Carmen, the former lead vocalist of The Raspberries and singer of “All by Myself,” is dead, according to his website. “It is with tremendous sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Eric Carmen,” a post on his website says. “We became immensely popular by going completely against the grain in 1970,” Carmen wrote in his website bio. “Critics liked us, girls liked us, but their 18-year-old, album-buying brothers said ‘no,’” Carmen wrote. Carmen declined to join The Raspberries when they reunited in 1999 to release the “Raspberries Refreshed” EP.
