Enjoyed his music. RIP

He was also a very patriotic American, MAGA-friendly, conservative, supported Trump, and was definitely not woke.

Loved his music.

I just found out there are major covers of the song "All by myself". One of them is from the GREAT Celine Dion.
They all butchered the song IMHO. Eric sang it from the heart. And that is his song. None else's.

 

[Squib]

No!!!

I loved the Raspberries! Grew up on them…Still listen to them today!

Also, my kids do too even though they’re all late 20’s early 30’s.

Sad. RIP Eric!
