All By Myself ... Overnight Sensation

I just learned that the talented Eric Carmen passed away last month.  With a segment borrowed from Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, he created this very tasteful piece called All By Myself in 1975:

Before going solo, Carmen was part of the band Raspberries, with this incredible Overnight Sensation in 1974:
