Eric, I am sending you a VERY Happy Birthday through my friend, Darlene. My birthday is also August 11th, and I will definitely be wishing you many happy returns. I have always loved your beautiful music and am very happy for all the successes coming your way. Wishing you a beautiful year of many more.

One evening in April 1976, watching Top of the Pops, started a part of my life where I have never looked back. Discovering a guy called Eric Carmen singing All By Myself on a small black & white tv, has influenced the friends I have made, general events, even finding the perfect husband. It has led me to discover Raspberries music, and along with your solo tracks, the best music in the world, and meeting four of the loveliest, loveliest guys. I have now had some amazing adventurous travels and had my dreams come true, with memories to cherish forever. I have also gained a treasured gang of friends that have become important to me as family. The past few months have been incredible. The past 29 years have been special. And for all of this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you the happiest birthday ever.

Keep safe.

From your faithful fan until the end of time.

Eric,

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

The first time I heard "Go All The Way" I was hooked. And I knew this was not a "passing fancy". I have followed your music up until the present and have played your songs on the piano all the while wishing I would have the chance to see you perform again. My dreams came true. Your music says what is in my heart.

I wish you a very Happy Birthday, I wish you all the luck the world has to offer, but most of all, I wish you love.....

Eric,

I'm guessing this birthday will be quite the occasion to celebrate...

Your return to the spotlight with the Raspberries has made so many of us beyond happy...

It's also a big reminder to those of us who hold dearly the truly gifted people who give of themselves through their art, that you can not take these things for granted...

Your performances since November were some the most moving things I've ever experienced and I hope that 56 will bring more of that artistic fulfillment which you so deserve...

It's great to see you guys believing in a Hard Day's Night again!!!!!

p.s. thanks again for the call-in on WRSU...

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Eric!

Though I've been a huge fan for over 25 years now

I've only discovered your site recently

and am overwhelmed how great things are going.

I wish I'd gotten to see you in NYC; maybe Jersey!

Thanks forever for the music!

Happy Birthday Eric...and thanks for the music...with your music...you gave voice to many of the thoughts and concerns i had in life in my teenage years...your music went far beyond the current music of the mid to late 70's...and made me expect more from a pop song...now...far from the teenage angst that first led me to love "all by myself" and "never gonna fall in love again"...i can still enjoy those songs...because they speak to people of all ages...they were produced in such a manner that now...many years later...they still sound fresh...and current...you built those songs to last...and they have...i can't wait to see what is coming next from you...i know it's gonna end up being bigger than you think...go for it!

To Eric,

Happy Birthday! Those 2 shows in NYC were outrageous! We're so very glad that you decided to write and play popular music instead of unpopular music (ha ha).

Also, thanks lots for stopping to chat with Tom and me in Lucille's before the BBK show on Saturday and for signing our shirts. Really meant a lot to us.

Best wishes for health, happiness, and continued success!

All The Best,

Joyce

Oh Eric,

What an incredible year you have had!! Can't imagine what more you could possibly wish for when you blow out this year's candles- maybe just another amazing year surrounded by the love of your family, friends and fans!!

Thank you so much for being a part of Raspberries reunion and giving so many of us the opportunity to see you perform live! I feel like every show I attend is one big, magnificant birthday party for everyone in attendance! The shows sure have been some of the best presents I have ever received!

May the music continue to play on! Have a wonderful birthday! Love, Julie R.
