Eric Carmen was born into a family of Russian-Jewish immigrants, and grew up in Lyndhurst, Ohio, being introduced to music from a very early age.

Eric Howard Carmen Quotes

• Diane Warren, to my knowledge, has no great knowledge of music theory, and had no classical training, and she is an absolutely great songwriter. I would doubt that Holland (Brian Holland), Dozier (Lamont Dozier) and Holland (Eddie Holland) had classical training. It’s not necessary. It doesn’t hurt. It certainly helped me. But it’s not a prerequisite.
• I thought that it’s a crime that there are some spectacular melodies in classical music that the general public doesn’t get exposed to. I thought this was a way for me to bring some of the classical music that I love, incorporate it into a pop song for a new decade of kids, and introduce them to those beautiful melodies that they might not otherwise hear.
