Raspbernie Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ERIC CARMEN 2nd Career Happiness Eric Carmen is considered to be a triple threat by his record company, Arista Records. That is, he appealed to AM and FM as well as in person. In person he is currently supplementing his chart situation traveling with a seven piece band to show everybody that he is not just a Raspberry (his former group.) As a solo artist he locked in with producer Jimmy Ienner, who has a strong track record, and together they came out with Arista's Eric Carmen album plus the chart single, "All By Myself." Ienner and Carmen are currently in the studio whenever Carmen gets time off from his touring to produce the next Carmen album—hopefully in May.

LC Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 As someone who's worked in magazine publishing a long time, I'd say: Great cover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Unlike Billboard, where "All By Myself" only managed to reach #2, Eric's hit song sprinted to the coveted #1 spot in Cashbox the week after his cover story on March 13, 1976.

Kirk Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have that issue in storage. During that time, I would usually buy only Billboard; when I saw this issue of Cashbox right next to it, I had to have it Record World (the other biggie back then) had ABM at #1, also. Great pic and great memories. Thanks, Bern! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 To : Eric CarmenFrom : JamesDate : January 6, 2009RE : Stalker Repellent I wanted to again advise you that there is a chick stalker repellent that has worked well for James. It's available to the masses, and it's called White Castle Hamburgers. It works great. After taking a dose (or 18) it is physically impossible for a chick to get within 100 feet of you. Hope that is helpful.. Sincerely, James President Fellas At Risk From Stalker Chicks, Inc. ---------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna R Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nothing would work James. He could smell like Jabba the Hut and it wouldn't keep us ladies away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle4ec Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 That's right, Anna. Oh, and personally I like the smell of "hot" beef and onions frying together...and the way those little sandwiches make your hands all glisteny and slick after you eat one...maybe that's why they call them slidHERS... Eric could be the King of my "White Castle" any day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelina Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Oh My God...the famed "slider defense". That James is a smart dude!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ATTENTION: All Stalker Chicks Before you become overconfident, please let James clarify some science (you always have to clarify science with chicks). It is not the smell of the White Castle Hamburger that provides our defense, it's the "chemical reaction" that ensues after the White Castle Hamburger has been enjoyed. The results of any attempts to pierce this defense will not be pretty.
