"Making It Easy" by The Raspberries
The Raspberries were a pioneering power pop and rock band that rose to popularity in the early 70s thanks to the monster hit "Go All The Way." The song went all the way to #5 and was followed up by other chart hits like "I Wanna Be With You" (#16), "Let's Pretend" (#35), and "Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)" (#18). By 1975, lead singer Eric Carmen embarked on a successful solo career. Other members of the band founded Fotomaker. "Making It Easy" is from the band's third record, "Side 3" from 1973. A perfectly suitable rocker for the era that combines melody and harmony like few other bands could.
