“Tonight You’re Mine” is the fourth solo album by Eric Carmen. There is speculation that its title was inspired by the opening line in The Shirelles song “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, though this is not confirmed. It peaked at #160 on the Billboard album chart. It contained the singles “It Hurts Too Much” (#75 Billboard Hot 100) and “All For Love”.
After scoring a massive solo hit with 1975’s dewy-eyed ballad “All by Myself,” Eric Carmen spent the remainder of the decade recycling the same treacly formula, effectively scrubbing the last vestiges of the Raspberries’ immortal power pop from his DNA in the process. While the ludicrous S&M-inspired cover art of his final Arista effort, Tonight You’re Mine, may promise a return to edgier fare, the album itself is pure pabulum – ballads like “Foolin’ Myself” and “Sleep with Me” are excruciatingly sappy, and even rockers like “Inside Story” are shockingly tepid given Carmen’s past glories. That dumb-ass cover notwithstanding, if anyone here deserves a good spanking, it’s Carmen himself.
