Dang
Um it was a Dirty Dancing song.
Eric Cartman is dead? YOU BASTARDS!
No use pretending things can still be right There's really nothing more to say I'll get along without your kiss goodnight Just close the door and walk away Never gonna fall in love again I don't want to start with someone new 'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end Just like me and you No, I never want to feel the pain Of remembering how it used to be Never gonna fall in love again Just like you and me At first we thought that love was here to stay The summer made it seem so right But like the sun we watched it fade away From morning into lonely night Never gonna fall in love again I don't want to start with someone new 'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end Just like me and you No, I never want to feel the pain Of remembering how it used to be Never gonna fall in love again Just like you and me Never gonna fall in love again I don't want to start with someone new 'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end Just like me and you No, I never want to feel the pain Of remembering how it used to be Never gonna fall in love again Just like you and me Never gonna fall in love again I don't want to start with someone new 'Cause I couldn't bear to see it end Just like me and you
Suddenly the age of 74 seems “so young”.
Eric was truly talented.
Kind of a shock. Really liked a lot of his stuff. His music had a real poignancy to it that I connected with.
I being but a lad listening to his songs on the radio brought me a voice along with my own.I listened to the words and went from there. His songs were thought out and something everyone experiences at one time or another. I hope he passed quietly and is at peace.
Aw, man RIP.
Rest In Peace, Eric.
I wrote to him when he was on Twitter. He hit ‘like’ but I do not remember what I wrote. He went off it at one point. I thought it was because of something political but now I wonder if it was health related.
Ouch. Some of my first memories out of childhood were to his music.
They keep getting closer….😳
1970’s am car radio vibes
The Raspberries were the first concert that I ever went to. Ocean City, MD. Brownsville Station was the opening act. Good times back then.
Another very talented musician gone. :-(
It would seem he got his wish, though, in his final years, marrying and staying married until the end, so, not “All by himself (anymore)” ...
May he Rest In Peace, and prayers for his family and friends.
Big hits I recognize:
All By Myself
Hungry Eyes
Make Me lose control
Never gonna fall in love again
He stole from the second movement of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto #2 for "All by Myself." He stole from the third movement of Rachmaninov's Symphony #2 for "Never Fall in Love Again."
In doing so, he continued in the honored tradition of Neil Diamond and Alan & Marilyn Bergman, who stole from the second movement of Rachmaninov's Symphony #2 for "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And who could forget 1945's "Full Moon and Empty Arms," stolen from the third movement of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto #2 by Buddy Kaye and Ted Mossman?
Sergei Rachmaninov would have been thrilled to know that his music lived on in the popular form. (He loved jazz!) He would have joyfully hummed those melodies as he deposited his royalty checks in the Beverly Hills branch of United California Bank.
This is old news for some, but for those just now finding out: singer Steve Lawrence (of Steve and Edie) died last week at age 88. It was either Weds. or Thurs.
Last week, most news hounds were wrapped up in Uncle Joe’s state of the nation speech.
“Go All the Way” will be forever a personal favorite song. Good vocalist. Rest in peace.
