Even I Had Hair Like That In The 1970s* |
This Was Your Uncle DAZZ (Douglas E. Castle) in 1976. LOOK AT THAT HAIR! |
In the tradition of The Beatles, Badfinger and just a bit of The Turtles, Eric Carmen and the Raspberries put the book of rock in the blender and poured it out. The result was a wonderful mashup of twangy guitar riffs and loud, open stringed chords (that high E-string would ring out like a rock n' roll bell). Backed by kick-you-in-the-butt-drums and a heavy, simple and deliberate bass guitar, Eric stretched his voice (a la Roger Daltry, Paul McCartney, Steve Tyler and -- years later-- Steve Perry) to its nasal limits and led a band with a sound that was a joyous noise and a wonderful sing-along tribute to the School Of Rock.
Simple, pure and exploding with enthusiasm, Uncle DAZZ of The Radio DAZZ Blog is proud to offer up two of the Raspberries' greatest mainstream radio hits. Listen with the volume cranked up and try to keep from dancing. If your surrounded by other people in your workplace, subway terminal, or wi-fi equipped Starbucks, play them louder. People might not say it, but they'll be grateful. Jos. A. Banks personally guarantees it. Suit yourself, Dazzlexics!
