Raspbernie Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 From left to right (clockwise): Eric, Wally, Jim and... John! That's right, original Raspberries member John Aleksic is pictured in this rare posed studio portrait of the new band when they started playing gigs in and around Cleveland, Ohio.Listen to 'em sing: RASPBERRIES — LIVE AT THE AGORA (1970) IMHO, Raspberries were the original Fab Faux! Wish I got to see 'em back in the day. Some of you did...lucky dogs!Bernie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 What a Great photo, Bernie! A rare one in suits for sure. If I wouldn't have known they were musicians, I would have thought they were some of my ice-hockey friends I grew up with during ten whole summers in Ontario, Canada. That's the hair style some of them had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Wynn Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They look like a recent crop of MBAs from John Carroll U. instead of four guys who rocked the Agora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelina Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They look like a recent crop of MBAs from John Carroll U. instead of four guys who rocked the Agora. I had a very similar thought as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Maybe Eric can correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like John is singing lead on that track with Eric and Wally singing harmony.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
