Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2006, 'The Definitive Collection' serves as a comprehensive retrospective of Eric Carmen's solo career following his time with The Raspberries. By this point, Carmen had already established himself as a significant figure in pop rock, having enjoyed success with hits like 'Hungry Eyes' and 'All by Myself' in the early 80s. This compilation highlights the evolution of his sound from the early glam rock influences to polished adult contemporary.
