So...anybody a fan of The Cars???

[glamfly]

Yes, I too love The Cars. Did Benjamain Orr die?
I think I remember something about it, but not sure. I like his solo hit "Stay the Night" too.
Is that whole album good? I have a copy of Ric's solo album, with "Emotion in Motion", and there's some decnt stuff on it, but Cars are way better. i think it was the collaboration of the two that was "Magic".

yeah, Benjamin Orr died back in 2000. i think he had cancer of some sort.

i know he was a HUGE part of the Cars sound and their success but i don't think it will be as hard to replace him as it would be if he was the front man/focal point to the band. and yes i know he sang on a lot of tunes but when you think of the Cars you think of Ric. i'd be there if they ever toured again.

I didn't know that he died. [img]frown.gif[/img] He was a major part of the band.

Wow, didn't know that Orr sang lead vocals on Just What I Needed and Drive. Thought Ocasek did all their leads.

Loved em' and Rick Ocasek produced two brilliant Weezer CD's, Blue and Green Albums respectively.
