Complete List Of Eric Carmen Songs From A to Z

His 1975 self-titled debut immediately established that new identity. “All by Myself,” built partly around Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, became one of the defining ballads of the decade, while “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again,” “Sunrise,” and “That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll” showed how easily Carmen could move between dramatic pop and the melodic rock instincts of his earlier work. Boats Against the Current followed in 1977 and produced songs such as “She Did It,” “Marathon Man,” and the deeply reflective title track.

Carmen continued recording through Change of Heart, Tonight You’re Mine, and his second self-titled album, while his music also became increasingly visible through other artists and film projects. “Hungry Eyes,” recorded for Dirty Dancing, brought him back into the Top 10 in 1987, and “Make Me Lose Control” followed with another major hit in 1988. He also recorded “Reason to Try” for the 1988 Summer Olympics project and performed a version of his own composition “Almost Paradise” with Merry Clayton during the Dirty Dancing concert period.

His final studio album first appeared in Japan as Winter Dreams in 1998 and was later retitled I Was Born to Love You for other markets. The record included new compositions alongside Carmen’s own recordings of songs he had written for other performers and covers such as “Caroline, No” and “Walk Away Renée.” In later years, archival releases expanded the solo catalog with previously unheard demos, live performances, and the 1979 recording “I’ll Never Be the Same Without You.” Carmen died in 2024, but the posthumous release And Now, Eric Carmen: The Arista Archive provided another look at the depth of his solo work and the material surrounding his classic albums.
