Brian Mc Carthy Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I think the finest vocal performance is If You Change your Mind A very soulful heartfelt sincere delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I was never a big fan of that song. For Eric, I'd go with Tonight.For me, the overall best vocal performance on a Raspberries song is Scott McCarl on Play On. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 "If You Change Your Mind" is killer!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 That's a tough one. I'd say "Waiting".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm with you, James. I love "Waiting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmichel Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Let's Pretend...Not easy to sing at all...But even harder to sing it and convey all the emotion that Eric did...And there was no AutoTune involved...I would challenge today's male or female singers to tackle this one...

missm Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Here, here danmichel!! Let's Pretend is a subtle vocal tour-de-force! But don't ask any current singer to takle this one. To do so makes me think of the Sam Harris version of Boats in a different forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahoodore Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 i have learned most of the raspberries repertoire over the years...and I would have to say that Go All the Way I think Eric's performance on it is spectacular....The melody is a jumping half-tone obstacle course...it is extremely difficult to sing (pitch-on)...Eric sneaks keychanges in without the listener actually noticing, then swings back to home key again inconspicuously....melody lines over changes like that are rare in rock, and most rock singers would not be able to be both accurate, AND interpret such a gutsy performance....the finally minor breakdown at the end (outro) in itself is mini masterpiece both vocally and musically...bahooP.S. Maybe I"ll try this one on my bathrrom session series next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can't pick one...its a tossup between GATW and Lets pretend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonecimar Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I Can Remember - A DEFINITE Favorite!!!! Although I hold "Starting Over" right up there as well...... To be honest, I absolutely love everything he sings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid C. Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 There are so many good ones that choosing any one is pretty tough. If I had to pick however, the run in "If You Change Your Mind" registers spinal chills like no other. And, like simone', I have to go with, "I Can Remember," the Raspberries masterpiece. Eric really romps on "Starting Over," an all time favorite, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy-Ann Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Golly gee wiz. Hmmmmm...All I can say is LET'S PRETEND that you know everything about me from the last 21 months on this board. Then, you'll know my answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
