1987 single by Eric Carmen
"Hungry Eyes " is a song performed by American musician Eric Carmen , a former member of the band Raspberries , and was featured in the film Dirty Dancing [2] Beachwood, Ohio in 1987. "Hungry Eyes" peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 3 on the Cash Box power ballad [3]
Songwriters Franke Previte and John DeNicola wrote the song, as well as another hit from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack , "(I've Had) The Time of My Life ".[4]
Background
[ edit ]
Eric Carmen, the performer of "Hungry Eyes", had been the vocalist of the Raspberries . In 1975, he released his first solo album Eric Carmen All by Myself ", but subsequently faced declining chart fortunes.
"Hungry Eyes" was written in 1984 by John DeNicola and Franke Previte, and originally recorded by Previte's band, Franke and the Knockouts for their album Makin' the Point , but did not appear on the album until its reissue in 1998. Jimmy Ienner , Raspberries' producer, asked Carmen to sing this song for the Dirty Dancing album because he was familiar with Carmen's musical style. Carmen was initially hesitant to produce a song for another film soundtrack because he believed that soundtrack music died "horrible deaths".[5]
The song, only his second Top 40 song of the 1980s, represented his biggest hit since "All by Myself". A few months after the success of "Hungry Eyes", Carmen released the Ienner-produced "Make Me Lose Control ", which also hit Top 10 in the US.
Music video
[ edit ]
The music video featured Carmen with Sally Steele in a short scene in a café at the end. Steele later founded Vegas Rocks! Magazine [6]
Releases
[ edit ]
The song was released commercially on 7" vinyl in many countries; plus, a 3-track 12" maxi single and 2-track cassette were produced. CD singles were a relatively new format; however, a 2-track Japanese mini CD single was commercially released in 1988.
