The Raspberries

They only had one big hit with "Go All the Way," but the Raspberries were one of the definitive power pop bands of the '70s.

Biography

Though they were the quintessential American power pop band of the 1970s, the Raspberries seemed cut from a more innocent cloth than that of the knowing skinny-tie bands whom they undoubtedly influenced. Taking their musical and fashion cues from the pre-hippie Beatles, the Raspberries donned matching suits, had puffy rockstar hair, and slayed audiences with their harmonies and killer three-minute songs. In their five years together, they had seven singles in the Top 100--including the heavenly hit "Go All the Way." Singer Eric Carmen went on to a successful solo career following the band's break-up in '75, and joined his original band members for a reunion tour and recording sessions in 2004.
