I had no idea he based some of his compositions on Rachmaninoff, or that he'd toured with Ringo's All-Starr Band.

RIP Mr. Carmen.

He was a Beatles fan and admired Paul's singing voice.  He taught himself guitar by purchasing a Beatles chord book.  As a result, we got this when he was with The Raspberries in 1972...
