Group formed from late ’60s Cleveland bands The Choir and Cyrus Erie. Leaders of the early ’70s Power Pop Movement, their first single “Go All The Way” is considered that movement’s anthem. Broke up in 1974 after only four albums, Bruce Springsteen considers them an integral part of mid-’70s American rock ’n’ roll. Lead singer Eric Carmen went on to have a successful solo career as a writer (“That’s Rock ’n’ Roll,” “Almost Paradise”) and as an artist (“All By Myself,” “Hungry Eyes,” and “Make Me Lose Control”).
