    We wanted to open up our top 10 Raspberries songs list with a really good one. The band’s great song “Tonight,” featured so much of what we loved about The Raspberries. These guys could really rock when they wanted to. This band was great. Listen to Jim Bonfanti kill it on drums on this track. The man was so good. The harmonies are spectacular. “To...

    The Raspberries song “Come Around And See Me,” is a deep album track that defines why you should check out their albums and not just their greatest hits packages. The band’s four albums were brilliant pop rock records filled with great songs like this one. “Come Around And See Me,” was released on the band’s first album. The song was written by Wal...

    The Raspberries song “Let’s Pretend,” defines the sweet side of Eric Carmen’s melodies and hooks. At times, songs like this are what made many critics and fans define the Raspberries as more of a bubble gum band than a serious rock act. Still, the song proved to be popular on the charts as it reached the U.S. Billboard Top 40 in 1973. It was the th...

    Yes, I know what you are thinking, if you actually listened to the video. This is The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” The band admitted that the album was heavily influenced by The Who. Well, they didn’t have to tell us that. Nonetheless, despite the complete intentional rip-off of the Who in the song’s introduction, this song smokes. It’s pure Ras...

    When I first heard this song, I thought I was listening to an unreleased track from an early Paul McCartney solo album. Eric Carmen had an incredible talent for writing gorgeous melodies. If he only had a John Lennon by his side to keep him from drifting off too far into the bubble gum world, who knows what he would have done? “I Saw The Light,” wa...

    Continuing with our top 10 Raspberriessongs list we turn to the band’s first single entitled “Don’t Want to Say Goodbye,” This was always one of our favorite Raspberries songs. The melody and arrangement were a bit more progressive in nature than some of their more sweet-sounding pop songs. This one was really special. Listen to that great chord ch...

    Eric Carmen’s beautiful ballad “Starting Over,” stood as a preview of where he was heading in his solo career. This was the final song on the band’s final album titled Starting Over. The song seems to owe much credit to Elton John in many ways. The song’s piano riff in the verses is very similar to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.” However, the song’s me...

    When Eric Carmen wanted to let loose, he had the pipes to stand with any great rock lead vocalist. Like many of the Raspberries’ songs, “I’m A Rocker,” starts out heavy but finds its way leaning towards more of the pop side of the band when the verse meets the chorus. The Raspberries song “I’m A Rocker,” was released on the band’s third album entit...

    This spectacular song was probably the band’s most mature work and easily their best production. If it weren’t for the legacy of the song “Go All The Way,” we would have listed this one as number one. It’s just so great. There’s sort of a Beach Boys“Good Vibrations,” vibe also happening here in terms of arrangement, production and harmonies. The so...

    By far, The Raspberries’ most popular song was their big-time 1972 hit “Go All The Way.” The song was not only the Raspberries’ biggest hit, but it stands as one of the most cherished songs of the 1970s. It’s an iconic pop gem. The way the verse transcends into the song’s chorus riding on the wings of Eric Carmen’s legendary lead vocal is one for t...

  1. Jan 14, 2015 · The debut single "Don't Want to Say Goodbye," stalled, but the follow-up, "Go All the Way," a magnificent fusion of Who-inspired guitar snarl and Beach Boys-styled vocal harmonies, went on to...

  2. The Raspberries were an American pop rock band formed in 1970 from Cleveland, Ohio. They had a run of success in the early 1970s music scene with their pop rock sound, which AllMusic later described as featuring "exquisitely crafted melodies and achingly gorgeous harmonies."

    • Don’t Want to Say Goodbye. This is a beautiful, slow piano song. Eric Carmen’s voice shines. Even though it’s more melancholy than many of their songs, it’s one where their voice shines; this song is the epitome of a lilting ballad.
    • Go All The Way. This song was banned in the UK because of its questionable lyrics. The smoothness of it translates the lyrics well. Although it’s stereotypical of the time, it’s a song you’d hear while watching the stars with someone you’re dating.
    • I Wanna Be With You. This is another song with a smooth 50s feel, something you might hear at a school dance. Most of The Raspberry songs have lyrics about love and relationships, which doesn’t deviate from that trend.
    • Last Dance. This song has an Eagles feel. The lyrics are a light romantic ballad. It’s something when you’re new in a relationship but are still unsure of your feelings—part of the song fade into bluegrass before circling back to light rock.
