Don't Want To Say Goodbye
"Don't Want to Say Goodbye" is a song written by Eric Carmen and Wally Bryson that was first released on the Raspberries 1972 debut album ''Raspberries''. It was released as the first single from the album and reached No. 86 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Reception ''Record World'' said of "Don't Want to Say Goodbye" that it's "a ballad with just a touch of the Beatles sound. No ifs, ands or buts, this one should hit. Impressive beginning." ''Cash Box'' said of it that "Lighthouse producer Jimmy Ienner blazes a ballad trail, setting new Cleveland quartet in a fine light of its own. Tune should appeal to Top 40 and MORs." ''Wichita Beacon'' critic Paul Baker called it a "beautiful song" despite not charting as well as hoped. ''Elk Grove Herald'' critic Tom Von Malder noted the song's "exciting changes of tempo." Music journalist Mark Borack said that the song is "papered with pretty piano passages and melodies." ''Ultimate Classic Rock'' critic Dave Swanson rated it as the 9th best ...

Raspberries (band)
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." The members were known for their clean-cut public image, with short-hair and matching suits, which brought them teenybopper attention as well as scorn from some mainstream media outlets as " uncool". The group drew influence from the British Invasion era—especially The Beatles, The Who, The Hollies, and Small Faces—and its mod sensibility. In both the US and the UK, the Raspberries helped pioneer the power pop music style that took off after the group disbanded. They also have had a following among professional musicians such as Jack Bruce, Ringo Starr, and Courtney Love. The group's "classic" lineup consisted of Eric Carmen (vocalist/guitarist/bassist/pianist), Wally Bryson (guitarist), Jim Bonfanti (dru ...

Raspberries (band) Songs
The raspberry is the edible fruit of a multitude of plant species in the genus '' Rubus'' of the rose family, most of which are in the subgenus '' Idaeobatus''. The name also applies to these plants themselves. Raspberries are perennial with woody stems. World production of raspberries in 2020 was 895,771 tonnes, led by Russia with 20% of the total. Description A raspberry is an aggregate fruit, developing from the numerous distinct carpels of a single flower. What distinguishes the raspberry from its blackberry relatives is whether or not the torus (receptacle or stem) "picks with" (i.e., stays with) the fruit. When picking a blackberry fruit, the torus stays with the fruit. With a raspberry, the torus remains on the plant, leaving a hollow core in the raspberry fruit. Raspberries are grown for the fresh fruit market and for commercial processing into individually quick frozen (IQF) fruit, purée, juice, or as dried fruit used in a variety of grocery products su ...

''News-Press'' critic Mark Marymont called it "a respectful retrospective of a band that should have been bigger."

Raspberries' Best
''Raspberries' Best Featuring Eric Carmen'', more commonly known as ''Raspberries' Best'', is a 1976 compilation album by Raspberries. The album contained songs from each of the group's four LP's, which were recorded between 1972 and 1974. Most of the tracks on this LP were among their seven charting hits. The group had already disbanded when this compilation was released. ''Raspberries' Best'' was well received by critics; Dave Marsh called it "an exquisite anthology of Seventies pop rock that's a throwback to the heyday of the Beatles and Beach Boys", while Robert Christgau said the compilation "performs a needed service by compiling cuts from the group's first two (flawed) albums".

Ecstasy (Raspberries Song)
"Ecstasy" is a song written by Eric Carmen that was first released by the Raspberries on their 1973 album '' Side 3''. It was also released as a single but did not chart. Background Carmen said "Ecstasy" had a " Who/ Small Faces feel" although on songs from ''Side 3'' like "Ecstasy" and " Tonight" he felt that the band was able to be the Raspberries without being derivative of influences like the Who and the Beatles. "Ecstasy" was drummer Jim Bonfanti's favorite Raspberries' song, particularly because he "really got to let loose and play" and guitarist Wally Bryson similarly said that it was one of the greatest things the Raspberries had done. ''Anderson Daily Bulletin'' critic Randall L. Rohn described the song as starting with "very Who-ish" drums and guitars, similar to " The Kids Are Alright." Rohn said that "The band breaks into a three-part, almost syrupy-sweet chorus as the guitars and drumming churn stronger and stronger in the background. The decibel level builds until ...

Bee Gees
The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful in popular music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers in the disco music era in the mid-to-late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The group wrote all of their own original material, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists and have been regarded as one of the most important and influential acts in pop music history. They have been referred to in the media as The Disco Kings, Britain's First Family of Harmony, and The Kings of Dance Music. Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the ...
