Eric Carmen, Raspberries frontman and "All by Myself" singer is dead. He was 74.

The musician's death was announced on his official website by his wife, Amy, who posted that her husband died in his sleep last weekend.

Carmen rose to fame as the frontman of the 1970s band Raspberries, which had hits such as "Let’s Pretend," "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)," "I Wanna Be With You," and "Go All the Way."

After venturing out as a solo artist, he found success with some of his early singles including "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" and "Hungry Eyes," which appeared in Dirty Dancing.

Jerry Foley, who served as director of “The Late Show with David Letterman” from 1995 until the end of its run — died March 10 at the Albany Medical Center in Albany, N.Y. A family friend said he died following a ski accident in Vermont. He was 68.

Foley, who was the brother of director James Foley, directed nearly 4,000 hours of late-night television.
