Embark on a melodious journey where we celebrate the musical mastery of Eric Carmen and the echoes of his influence on heartthrob Shaun Cassidy. Strap on your nostalgia goggles as we share fascinating tidbits about Carmen's classical roots that blossomed into a rock sensation with the Raspberries, and chuckle over the misheard lyrics of "Go All the Way". We'll pull back the curtain on his role in penning the soundtrack anthem "Hungry Eyes," and how his artistry shaped the hits that made Cassidy a household name.
As the needle drops on this episode, get ready to sway to the rhythm of Carmen's captivating hits from the '70s and dissect the genius behind the power ballads that still tug at our heartstrings. Revisit the infectious "She Did It" while uncovering how his music weaves in homage to legends like the Beach Boys and Hall & Oates, proving his prowess as a songwriter. Revel in the tales of Carmen's impact on the music industry, as we marvel at his absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and discuss his broader influence including country music, cinema, and even the Olympics.
Finally, take a seat alongside us as we zoom in on personal stories, like a photographer's mission to immortalize Carmen in the perfect portrait, and reflect on his stirring live performances and songwriting collaborations.
