Ben Orr, such a rare talent and voice. RIP
Beautiful voice.
Yes, Ben was beautiful and fabulously talented, and I cannot understand how anybody could confuse the melodic warmth and range of Benjamin's voice with Ric's - light years difference. From Patricia H. not William H.'
@Mr Blobby He died of a rare cancer, he may have been suffering from that.
@@vermontbred Pancreatic cancer ! My mom passes of that in 1986 so i can understand ! I Loved the guy and the whole band
@@vermontbred Pancreatic cancer isn't that rare, but it's almost always a death sentence. So sad.
Rest in peace Ric Ocasek!! May the good times roll forever!! 🤘
Which one is he?? I know Benjamin Orr, he's the frontman!
@@angelamings3031 Ric Ocasek is the other lead vocalist and guitar player, just not the one for this song. He sings Let The Good Times Roll, You Might Think, Shake It Up, Magic, etc.. He produced a bunch of legendary albums from other bands throughout the past few decades. Shocked you know Benjamin but not Ric. Sadly they are both passed away now and are hopefully still rocking in the hereafter!!
@@angelamings3031 0:49
Ditto . Forever !
@@thedude8747 Let’s not forget that he also produced Weezer’s music
First Eddie Money and now Ric Ocasek. What a terrible week, all my 80's music heroes are departing this earth. Rest in Peace rock gods.
I am with you! So many great memories to go with those great tunes.
Sadly stars die in three why this happens i do not know but its a sad realty.I pray it does not come true this time and we lose another great.
We are getting old
I was born in '77 and remember the 80s fondly. I feel stuck between the 80s generation and 90s generation.
This year it was Eddie Van Halen. So very sad.
One of the best bands ever.
i love this song. Its a masterpiece, never ever gets old. Just as good now as it was in 1978.
If we could only freeze time...
Masterpiece indeed
I remember the first time i heard this song on the radio in 1978. I had no idea who The Cars were at the time but they sounded like no other band. Hard to believe that was almost 45 years ago...

I hope Ben and Ric reincarnate as musicians and find each other in their next lives. The world needs more of their music.
I was lucky enough to play with a band at "Rockin' the Hills" in northern North Dakota in 2000. Ben Orr was playing bass for a band call, if memory serves, "Big People" a couple month before he passed. I was just off stage near Orr while they were playing. He had an oxygen tank behind his bass rig and would go back to it periodically. He played until the end.......he was a trooper and someone I try to emulate when I'm playing. RIP Ben!
A true masterpiece
I loved this song in the late 70's.
A great band, period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great version
Definitivamente uno de los más infravaloradas bandas de 80 they're the beat, Benji my love te conocí too late rip
Benjamin was so cute.
If you listen closely to this song verses the song with only the album cover you'll notice that the tone higher in this one
2024 🎉❤
Classic, ty for the songs😊
I love you, Mr. Orr. Much Love, Gayle Raye Bremer
Hard to believe that was live. If i won the lottery, i'd pay handsomely for a backyard performance.
As would I but only with both Ben and Ric.... R.I.P to two legends xXx
Did y'all know when 38 Special flopped with their first 2 albums that were generic southern rock albums and they needed something different The Cars was their biggest influence to progress into the 80s.
That has NEVER HAPPENED AND OUR FATHER KNOWS🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤😀😀🕊🕊🌍🌍🙏🙏🙏
sadly missed! :-(
Sigh....what is there to say about then?
I graduated high school 1985. 58 yrs old now and it all just went by too fast now its almost over. Just a blink in time
Today would have been Ben Orr's 77th birthday.

RIP the two members of The Cars
Ric Ocasek (March 23, 1944 - September 15, 2019), aged 75
Benjamin Orr (September 8, 1947 - October 3, 2000), aged 53
You both will be remembered as legends.
Orr had that voice too, what a shame
Pancreatic Cancer is a bitch.
Idk what killed Ric though.
@@joshv5376 orr was top notch, cant listen to ric's voice for very long
@@onyxsh0cks456 why?
@@فاصلااصاسااثوسعستسعوث he had a weird voice idk. Not a fan.
I was a DJ at my school in the Soviet Union in 1984. At the disco, I included this song three times in a row. The Сars band was one of my favorites on my playlist.
Interesting & cool! I always thought 'Western' music wasn't really available back then,in the USSR or other communist countries.
@@markhealey9409 This is true. It was quite possible to obtain recordings of famous Western groups in the Soviet Union at that time. Although vinyl records fetched huge prices on "the black market", tape recordings of these records were more affordable.
what other songs from the eightees were your favorite ones?
@@rockwhk , There were many groups. They mainly represent the style of synth-pop and new wave. I remember groups like Depeche Mode, Men at Work, Yazoo etc. But for some reason, in addition to the songs of the The Cars, I especially remember the song "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.
Men at work 🌏

Still think Benjamins voice is superior to ricks
It was.. rick said before he died that his songs where really good but when Ben sung he blew us away 💔 Ben died of pancreatic cancer at 53 rick was 76 I think. Ben was absolutely gorgeous too😢
Ric would agree. He said if you need a good voice, it's Ben
Benjamin was 1 of a kind, he was blessed with everything gorgeous eyes and that pouty lips and his handsome face. He’s one of a kind ❤❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Awesome song! Some songs you just can not copy!
It was never a contest. Ric wrote songs for both. Ben sang the more melodic ones and Ric liked the quirky, edgy ones.
The Cars were an anomaly. Little bit New Wave, little bit classic rock, and a whole lotta cool. No wonder their songs are still all over the radio.
The Cars rocked, I agree, one of the best bands ever. They jelled. Miss them and Ben.
Your right had a little 50s in it to
what is classic rock you interminable douche
@@nutsackmania Your name suits you. nutsack.
So cool to this day, I agree.
I thank God I grew up with this music.
u growed up yo?
💯😂
Nací en el año perfecto 1964 y vivi todo el rock británico EEUU y latinoamericano , gracias totales monstruos de la música
We taught God this music 😂
Thats actually a really cool way to think of it@Renee6261
I think I just found my mother in the audience. The dark haired lady in front center at the beginning with the Dorothy Hamill Haircut. 70% to the left side. 0:21
That synth tone is everything
A little dirty sawtooth, a little smooth square wave, recipe for happiness.
Ric Ocasek & Benjamin Orr will always be just what we needed. Rock in peace
RIP Ric Ocasek. Thank you for all the good tunes as I grew up.
Ditto!
R.I.P ROCKSTARS RIC AND EDDIE.♥️🌟
Rough few days between Ric & Eddie. At least they left us a lot of great music. Feeling sad though.
What did he die from?
@@charleshall9755 It's a long name I can't remember how it's spelled but it's artery blockages. He had surgery and was recovering and passed away a few days later.
He was with his wife and family and died peacefully in his sleep.
I have the same thing and no insurance so I'm not far behind him lol
R. I. P. Ric and Ben 💖🌹
What a beautiful voice! What a great song! What a great band! Among my best memories. RIP Ben and Ric.
ahead of their time! Elliot Easton, an underrated guitarist! 🎸👍
RIP Ben Orr... 😞
The entire band was Underrated..... Easton and his riffs were great but so was the band as an entire collective...... Hawkes on Keys was another unheard of but very talented and skilled as a musician.... again Great band and finally getting inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame...... RIP Ben.....
+Dave Peilt Correct. Each one of them are/were insanely talented. They were the perfect blend. SIP Benjamin
Show Ric all of the rock joints in heaven, will you, Ben?
Elliot better lefty than Hendrix in my book!
@@teddedolph6081 100% AGREE
Amazing song for the 70's, it sounded so different ot the other music at the time, Cars were really on top of the 80's pop sound before the 80's
No its70s sounds going into the 80s PERIOD 70s sounds started in the late 70dz
70s pop sound indeed
NOPE 70s Pop Going into the 80s
To me it sounds like a song that would come out in the 80s.
Was this a serious comment? Cars were in genre' All their own
Ben looked like he was top of the world, having a great time!
Yup
Coolest pic in rock - Ben with a rose stem in his mouth
I bet he was❤
Man
..they were the epitome of 80's before the fucking 80's
Iconic.
Yep, this. So many people think they're an 80s band, but they got their start well before the 1980s.
I love the way Ben smiles when he sings, beauty and masculinity
Ben Orr's voice is as pure as it gets and Elliott Easton is a totally underrated guitarist. Tasteful and dextrous...amazing.
Elliot is very much respected in the guitar community. The guy’s a fantastic player.
Love Ben's voice, so sultry and rockin
I'd agree. He's one of the reasons I play guitar. Wow. That's all you can say. Wow.
Yes perfect solo
Benjamin Orr's voice was unique......not modified by other sounds.......his voice was an instrument in and of itself. Beautiful.
I always thought Rik was British
This is really well said. Benjamins voice was unique.
Well said Martha :D
Benjamin Orr- so gorgeous and talented
It's funny, I like Ocasek's singing better, but most of my favorite Cars songs are the ones Orr sings.
Ben had the best voice in the Cars.
Ric Ocasek acknowledged that many times.
@@jcam42smart man
He most certainly did. God gifted him with gorgeous looks and so much talent.❤️❤️❤️❤️.
2024 anybody?

Hell yeah!

I was today years old when I realized there were 2 lead singers! Grew up on the Cars! Benjamin Orr was gorgeous! Where the Hell was I ???
I'm glad I scrolled down! I was also entirely today years old! I thought I was a New Wave master! Humbled...I love this pretty dude! 😅
Ben was definitely the "sexy" one, but he was also a wonderful vocalist and great bass player.
All of them were 😘
I’m just learning to play bass now. First guitar ever. Ben Orr is an inspiration to me.
His vocals on "All Mixed Up" give me goosebumps still
This is one of the happiest performances I’ve seen from Benjamin. You can tell he’s thoroughly engaged & enjoying himself~head bopping along. Great times!!
It’s not live - it’s the studio track They are miming it
@@flyingburritobro68 Are you sure? His voice sounds slightly different here.
@@lunaluck1060 It's mimed, sorry.
@@atomicwedgie8176 No need to be sorry... thanks for letting me know. Is there a live version of it on youtube?
@@lunaluck1060 Yes, several. Can't recall them offhand... sorry.
Never wastes my time listening to this feisty number.

Being young in the 80's was a great time.....
Love this song, always give me chills when I hear it, one of the 80's best songs. So many good memories.
It’s from 78 but I agree that it sounds more like a 81-82 summer hit rather than late 70s.
It gives me chills too x
Todays snowflakes listening to fake gay music, nursery rhymes, no talent "artists"
I dont know hold you are but this is a 70s song
This song is a masterpiece..
It was a privilege for me to have lived in the 80's...
Hi this was actually from 78 despite looking and feeling like the early 80s.
This song gave us a glimpse into the beginning of the 80s when everyone was still drunk on disco. (I still love disco).
High School 78-82 Best years ever! We literally went to every rock concert that came to town. Such fond memories. No better time than the 80's The Cars were so distinctive and original
I'm always trying to describe how great the 80s were to my teenage daughter. My words to her really can't do it justice!
@@lorri763 I can so relate to your comment ° I have told my kids when I die I want them to remember and find peace and comfort in knowing if I could have picked any century or decade to be a teenager GOD blessed me with the perfect time to come into this world graduating in 1983 because the late 70s and the 80s were the absolute BEST ♥️ I got to raise them listening to all the best music and now my grandchildren get to enjoy it 🥰 my grandson is 10 and my granddaughters are 7 and 1 with another on the way ° the older ones listen to their own music but also enjoy listening to the awesome music we grew up with ° what cooler GIFT could we give our descendants than strolling through the 70s and 80s 😎 I thought the 80s were the beginning of the BEST to come but sadly it was the END 😢 and not just music but great movies, sitcoms, primetime TV shows ° it's all GONE 💔 I'm so grateful that we have these MTV videos to show our grandchildren, the LIVE AID concert, and "We are the World" so many talented musicians were a part of that song and watching them rehearse it is awesome 🥳 knowing we were living the best years of our young lives through all that ° there are no more MTV music videos 😢 ° all good things must come to an END ...
А я родилась в 1976 году, слушаю и радуюсь.

Absolutely beautiful he was and great voice
Nobody's voice lasts forever......
Ben fORRever!
Ben Orr was beautiful and talented with the voice of an angel. Gone way too soon. Cancer sucks!!!!
Shame all the greats are passing away. Loved Ric and Ben😭 80s music was the best era
What was cool about The Cars was that there's never been another band before or since that sounds anything like them. They were truly unique. That's _very_ rare in the music industry, where most ever band/singer sounds like everybody else around them, with the same "sound of the moment." And their music was incredible. Can't even believe this album is now going on 42 years old. The other day on my lunch break I was sitting in my car eating and listening to this very album, marveling at how kick ass it still is, and how much it eclipses present day music. Proud to say this was the music I was raised on. :)
Very true :) I agree, warm regards from Tasmania
I guess they're just what we needed.🎹🥁🎸🎤🎶📻😎
His voice wasn’t like that he could hit high notes and everything, but his sound is just amazing. The way he sings “as long as it was deep, yeah” and “you always knew to wear it well and you look so fancy i can tell”. Seriously, am i the only one who just can’t get over the way he says “and” and “yeah” ??
@@phebedezwart5870 Subtle and very effective.
listening to this very album, marveling at how kick ass it still is, and how much it eclipses present day music. Right on !...I cannot listen to the present computer generated synthesized garbage of today that is called music. Yikes !
Great band. Debut album was epic. RIP Ben and Ric
RIP Ric Ocasek, &...... Benjamin Orr. .....love this song and Benjamin on lead vocals.
45 years ago today.... this piece of magic was released...
I had no clue it was that old. I thought it was late 80s or early 90s music when I was growing up at that time lol
I also didn't realize they sang one of my favorite songs ever, Drive. 🙏
Stellar voice and performance. This and Drive are my 2 favs. Your voice lives forever Ben! RIP
God bless the precious memory of Ric and Ben. RIP and my heartfelt gratitude to both for leading such an incredible and important band. They were all so supremely talented. I don't know of a better example of a "whole being greater than the sum of its parts". As a native Clevelander, I've always been a little more partial to Ben, though. Always preferred his vocals over Ric's. I'll always be thankful that I got to see them early on at the Agora Theater in Cleveland (1978). What can you say? Elliott Easton is a gifted lead guitarist, David Robinson was great on drums, and Greg Hawkes did a little bit of everything from keys to 🎷 sax and everything in between. I'll always consider their debut album to be one of the most important and progressive albums in punk/new wave history. Not too many bands more deserving of a spot in the RRHOF in my opinion.
What if the surviving members of The Cars and The Police went on a tour called The Police Cars?
Sting would NOt Stand for it I remember him in Dune
spencer jacobs or maybe the car doors
Never without Benjamin Orr :( I could not bear it
Maybe cars police the.
I think there's already a cover band that plays songs by the Police and the Cars called "Police Cars." I think they even have some videos on youtube. :)
In my teens, I wore ribbons in my hair because of this song.
I stopped cos my man ripped them out whilst he was dragging me down the stairs

Love this video, Ben is looking real happy, they are very talented. Wish I saw them live.
That's called "that cool rock n roll style" that you either got, or you don't. It can't be taught, but it can be learned, maybe - Been Orr had more than most, and didn't even have to try.
I love how cheerful Benjamin was in this performance 😊
Because he was cooked 😂
May I say, I rather enjoy the Benjamin Orr songs.
Definitely the Cars signature song, so young at the time
These guys were a true gift to my life growing up!
The past 48 hours have been a real blow to the late 70's early 80's sound
First Eddie, now Ric. Sad past few days indeed.
No shit, huh....
@@crazyone67501 and sadly this trend is only going to accelerate as they age.
@@crazyone67501 Yep! 😭
A very tough one for me when I think of my childhood. Ric Ocasek was a genius.

This has to be one of the greatest rock love songs ever recorded, whatever category they want to put it in. There’s nothing like it anywhere.
I do not mind wasting my time listening to The Cars. Let the good times roll!
The Cars 1st album may be the greatest debut album of all time!
With appetite for destruction, van halen and else
Sure was!! Every song was a banger🎉
@@batmaneatspizza True, I saw Van Halen on their first American tour opened for Ozzie~Black Sabbath,,,fabulous band(s)😅
Rest in peace Okasic..and thank you for the music...it was just what i needed in my youth!
Rest peacefully. You're just what I needed. Won't ever forget your music with the cars. Fly high and rock on
Amazing how the live version sounds exactly like the record pretty much. RIP dudes
Don’t think this was really live.
The sound in this video is the studio recording pitch shifted up a half step. Not live. Kind of stupid that the uploader is calling this a "live" performance.
This music was ahead of its time!! Reminds me of later bands in Grunge that may have drawn inspiration from the Cars. RIP Ric enjoy your epic reunion with Ben Orr!
It's also why their music still sounds just a fresh today, as when it was first released all those years ago!
Lmao grunge bands?..u obviously know nothing of either the Cars or the grunge genre..idiot
@@c3po707 kurt cobain was a huge fan of the Cars
The guitar pieces between choruses and in the bridge sound SO much like Weezer
@@MikeAlwill Guess Ric couldn't resist injecting a little Cars influence when he produced them.
The dude looks like Luke skywalker, lol coulda been his stunt double
R.I.P. Ric Ocasek, you never wrote even one bad song, not even one, everything you did was solid! Today's music can't hold a candle to it.
Im getting so sad, I love Ben and Ric, I hate that time kills fun.
@@AlbericoSantos6 😂😂😂 yea deff
Time murders our heroes.
How many memories of my youth are intertwined with this song and others like it? The Cars did all of us a huge favor who had this song as a backdrop to our defining moments. Pounding out of the speakers as we cruised, giving us the beat at the prom, amping up the atmosphere on "that date with that girl". Amiright?
They gave us a soundtrack for all of the times of our lives that even though they weren't epic or amazing to anybody else, THEY WERE EPIC TIMES TO US because when Ric took us by the hand and told us this story...it was our story!
Play on, Ric! The thing you loved doing was just what I needed as I grew up. Peace, man.
Sweet peace.
The Cars were the first pop punk band. Think about it this sounds exactly like Stacy’s mom. If you told me this song came out in 2005 I would believe you.
The Cars can fall off the face of the earth. A copywrite strike against Rick Beato who was trying to draw attention to your "Sad Song[s]", and you want to shut him down?!? Come on, "Give Some Slack". He's trying to remind people of your music, but I guess you would just rather "Go Away" into oblivion. "Think it Over" and take it back, or well, "Bye Bye Love"!!!
That guitar solo is just.....sublime.
Do you hear the bfdi in it?
Agree
I agree, the solo is great. The funny thing is that I first interpreted sublime as subpar and was ready to write a very argumentative response, lol.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the radio... I had to find out the band's name. They became my favorite and all these years later, I still love them.
First show I ever saw was The Cars Heartbeat City tour at the Forum in Inglewood. RIP Ric.
That must have been amazing. In Ingelwood?
It’s coming up on 44 years ago that this song came out! May of 78! So hard to believe. It would be a hit if it came out today. And this fall will be 22 years ago that Ben passed. I can’t get my mind around it still.
If your a kid watching this
Bless your heart
And also thank you😊 I’m just a jojo fan
The song that said goodbye to the 70's and welcome to the 80's.
No, the sound of the 70s Going into the 80s. You can look at it both ways
Nah, the Stranglers did it before
The Cars had a unique sound that kinda blew away DISCO which was prominent in the 70s. They ushered in the 80s with that and unlike other bands doing synth at that time The Cars were more popular and radio friendly. Plus it didn’t hurt that Benjamin was a part of that band ❤️❤️
These guys were the soundtrack to my h.s. years; 78-82; and are still one of my Top 5 fav bands of all time. Every intonation, every drum break, every solo I still have memorized. Thank You Ric for providing so many memorable songs that I have connected with some of the best times of my childhood. You will dearly be missed. RIP Ric
I've watched this a thousand times'''''''''''''
Songs back then were just as great live as they were on their albums. Not today!
You need to check out Michael Kiwanuka. Genius composer and songwriter spanning a ton of genres.
Well, when a band is a real band they sound as good or better live! The Cars were a real band. I miss them.
This ain't live
Wow. They're so young here. Ben's voice sounds very youthful -- like he hasn't sung this 10,000 times yet.
carmenmandrews its the studio version of the song playing over the video. Maybe pitched up slightly, which gives it that “youthful” sound you’re hearing.
@@mrwassef you convinced me! Yeah just a tad faster. And that's how we got a slightly different version😉 Sounding good actually. These men were so talented...
Everytime a classic rocker dies I feel a little piece of myself went with them.
Music is the soundtrack of our lives and everytime we hear that song from our past we are back there when music had passion.
The Cars first album was so fresh and different then most other music out then .
It sucks to see most of our past classic rock hero's gone or in their last years but I will always feel blessed to be here when rock music was still golden.
Gone but never forgotten , thanks for bringing alot of joy to these ears .
R.I.P. , Let the good times never stop rolling .
RIP Benjamin Orr and Ric... Your music has stood the test of time!
Roller skating 1978…….
Best voice ever… and their sound… ♥️
One of my favorite bands, and favorite songs. 18 years now Benjamin💔. Ty for sharing your voice and music with us!!🌏💖💫
This is “just what I needed!”
One of the coolest songs ever, and possibly the best drum fill.
Drumming is letter perfect.
