motley Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 About a week ago I found some information online suggesting that Eric Carmen had been working together with drummer Joe Franco (Good Rats, Twisted Sister, Widowmaker, studio musician).I had never heard of this before so I contacted Joe about it. Joe confirmed that he had been playing on one song with Eric but he didnt' remember much about it.He didn't remember the song title and he didn'tknow if the song ever had been officially released. What he did remember was that this was probably in the early nineties and he also said that the record label involved was Arista.Does anyone here know anything about this. Since I am a big Joe Franco fan I would like to get hold of this recording if it ever got officially released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a link to where I originally found the information http://www.scribd.com/doc/67287335/Modern-Drummer-145 . It is some pages down in the news section and plus that Joe confirmed it himself. The list you provided only seem to list official releases, perhaps the collaboration between Eric and Joe never made it onto an official release.

Kirk Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 That was probably the time right after Eric's two mega hits (Hungry Eyes and Make Me Lose Control) where Clive wanted Eric to do some songs by other people. Eric had a ton of momentum, and Arista let it slip away with a bad idea. Another 'what if' moment, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Eric probably knows exactly what session this was. Now, if only he'd check in and tell us.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Time to use the "red phone" Bernie. Probably, a "Lips" phone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Is that the silhouette of a grand piano I see in the night sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motley Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Is it common that Eric is answering in topics in this part of the forum? Perhaps this topic should be moved to the "The Inside Story" section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
