Drive was my least favourite Cars song. Loved My Best Friend's Girl, You Might Think, It's All Mixed Up, Just what I Needed, Magic, Lets Go, Its All I can Do, etc etc
@@redrocket597 The best part is he's made it that far. No guarantees for you. Is that a bus running a stop sign? Is that an eighteen wheeler losing its brakes? Good luck 😂
I was 22 when I crossed the river to us from Mexico went to San Francisco in 84 ,I didn't know no English but as we all know the 80s music is profoundly famous for great bands ,the language barrier to me was no big deal when it comes to music,that's when I started to listen the cars,I remember I bough me a tape w the song drive ,maaannn that song still sounds like the first time when I was working on 4th and Bryant auto body had my stereo and Benjamin and company always working with me ,great times,so my buddy Benny I hope you are now performing in heaven along with Rick ,God bless you all
You can see now why It was very difficult for the Cars to ever Tour again! Benjamin Orr was the Paul McCartney of the Cars! His Voice was 50% of they're Hits!
That Photo of Ben wearing that Cleveland Browns jersey is tough to look at.. i think he died a month or 2 after that photo was taken. He was down to 125 pounds i believe. Pancreatic cancer is a horrific way to go. Benjamin R.I.P.
Always loved Ben's contributions to The Cars. What a voice and bass player. I remember hearing about his passing like it was yesterday. Far too young.❤
Her soul, her heart and her physique were so beautiful, and as sweet as her precious, soft voice. God bless your soul divine Ben! 🙏😇🙏🌹❤️🎼🎵🎶🎸🎙️💓💯💗💯🩷💯😍🤩😘😘😘🤗
When I moved to this country. STAY THE NIGHT. was a big hit I remember lisenig o. The radio all the time. Always will hold those beautiful memories in my heart God bless Benjamin for his music 🎶 and wonderful memories 💐peace in heaven 🙏
I loved his solo record. It was in the cassette playing of my car for a solid year and a half. That song “When you’re gone” was everything. Ben was a legend and should have received more acknowledgment. RIP Ben.
I just listened to Bye Bye Love extremely loud. I’ve done that fairly regularly since that song first crossed my path in ‘78, courtesy of an album station in Rockford, IL. That song, to me, represents everything that was right with the Cars. Wish it could’ve stayed that way. Thanks, Ben, for such a defining piece of music.
The Lace is one of my favorite albums, I play it at least a dozen times a month. I was only 8 yrs old when it was released, but definitely remember "Stay The Night." Something about the album calms my soul & feels as if it knew my life's story. It's my best friend on sleepless nights & many, many more. 💜 I adored Benjamin since I was 6, but truly love him for giving us this album. 💜
Un magnífico grupo y en especial su voz . Ellos tienen un tema que marcó mi juventud. Y hoy día lo tengo como tono de llamada. Ya saben n cual? El más romántico ❤️😍
Musica inolvidable y por su puesto tanbien Benjamin QEPD. La mejor musica de los años 80. Musica de mu epoca y que jamas olvidare. Siempre lo recuerdo a Ben con esa bella vos.😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ siempre lo amare.❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
If you watch interviews of him, he seemed so humble and down to earth. The polar opposite of Ric Ocasek who was also insanely talented but always came off as being a bit too full of himself.
OMGOSH we were born on the same day.. virgin Mary's bday... Them polish boy's are beautiful...same state miles away... There are fantastic videos of him
I thought I was the only one who would know about his birthday! I find that so sweet and comforting that he had the same day as the Blessed Mother. Yes he was beautiful
Thank you for the video. Last name is pronounced oshe-hovski. Polish last name looks difficult but is not. Same as Ric Ocasek last name as well or could be any other slavic Easter European. Great songs they had. Love that time of rock n roll.
Out of the entire band .... I followed him the most , his Solo Album was constantly played in German restaurants in Germany , my girlfriend and her friends would go to this neighborhood restaurant eat ,then chill to " Stay the Night " it made the Army so much easier. My girl , our time together and good memories with Mr.Orr's The Lace Album on that restaurants Jukebox ..... Excellent Memories. Rest in Heaven Benjamin Orr , You made alot of young couples happy. ❤️🙏🏾
The epitome of good people dying young. He would often drive his pick up truck around his town of Weston, Massachusetts, Plowing, neighbors and friends driveways after snow storms.
I had the hots for him when I was a young girl. I loved watching him sing. I grew up, life went on, forgot all about Benjamin Orr until about 3 years ago or so when I found out he died. I was pretty sad. What a sad ending for him and he was so young.
Watched this video and it made my hair stand on end. I’m one of the lucky few who has survived pancreatic cancer, so I know what this poor guy went through. RIP Mr. Orr
I remember when he passed 😔, listening to the cars was a big part of my life and I think that shake it up was my favorite..gone way too soon.. RIP 🙏 MY FRIEND...
His vocals on Drive are wonderful !!
Oh my gosh yes, such a great song!
Drive is one of all time favorite songs, and my number one favorite Cars song. It’s also one of my favorite songs to play on bass.
I sang it one night at a karaoke bar. Everybody said, you sound like Elvis. I was heartbroken. I wanted to sound like Ben Orr.😢
AGREED 👍💯
they were a great band
Thank you for doing this for Benjamin. He is not forgotten.
Never forgotten! He was amazing! Thanks for watching.
And he never will be
Great take
Bruh!!!dats so dope.awesome band. Ya feel me bro?? ✊✌️👊🤙
Best singer too
The song ‘Drive’ is special
Depressing to think he and Ric are both gone.
Time flies…life is short
Drive was my least favourite Cars song. Loved My Best Friend's Girl, You Might Think, It's All Mixed Up, Just what I Needed, Magic, Lets Go, Its All I can Do, etc etc
@@ThouSwell-zx3fd So you liked only their top 10 hits. Wow, guy's dead and that's your contribution. You're a gem.
@@timapple6586 Do you even know what you're talking about? 😄
Ben war ein wundervoller Sänger und Gitarrist, er wird niemals vergessen werden ♥️🤗🥰💙 RIP Benjamin Orr 🙏🏻🕯️
@flyonbya..Yah..Truly..😢
The Cars was a huge part of growing up in the 70's and 80's thank you so much!!!
Who gone take you home 2nite, I still use that line till 2day
...I think they may have borrowed from Buck Owens WHO'S GONNA MOW YOUR GRASS...😅
Me too❤
Man, I'm 53 an feel life hasn't really started yet, my dad was 51 when he passed, cancer sucks
Life's been going for 50 years man it def didn't just start for you lol I'm half your age. I can say that, but 50? No your old bro
@@redrocket597 No, you're young, and annoying.
@@redrocket597
The best part is he's made it that far.
No guarantees for you.
Is that a bus running a stop sign?
Is that an eighteen wheeler losing its brakes?
Good luck 😂
@@redrocket597 do you think you’re special for that?
@sunburnz I agree. What a nasty thing that guy said !
I was 22 when I crossed the river to us from Mexico went to San Francisco in 84 ,I didn't know no English but as we all know the 80s music is profoundly famous for great bands ,the language barrier to me was no big deal when it comes to music,that's when I started to listen the cars,I remember I bough me a tape w the song drive ,maaannn that song still sounds like the first time when I was working on 4th and Bryant auto body had my stereo and Benjamin and company always working with me ,great times,so my buddy Benny I hope you are now performing in heaven along with Rick ,God bless you all
Good story!❤
I don't think anyone could of said it better about the cars and life..Thanks my friend as I really appreciated the story about your life...Rock On!!!!
Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst ways to go. So sad of a fate for a true legend
Yeah I've heard that. I'm seeing it more and more.
@@EdCollectsQuite a few celebrities have died from it... creepy and sad.
You can see now why It was very difficult for the Cars to ever Tour again! Benjamin Orr was the Paul McCartney of the Cars! His Voice was 50% of they're Hits!
Yes because even when Ben passed, ric could not duplicate the true Cars sound or feel.
A remarkably gifted talent, ridiculously good looking and a kind heart. Such a loss for all his family, friends, and fans.
Absolutely agree! Loved him!
Ben Orr was gorgeous.
I know ! I always thought so!!!
Oh yeah he was.. soooooo good looking..
Yeah. Not fair to look like that AND be in the cars!
Steaming hot! 🔥
Indeed he was!! ❤
Such a rockstar. RIP Benjamin
Today, October 3rd, marks 23 years since his passing.
To me Ben was the epitome of a rock and roll front man.
This man was so beautiful. One of my earliest rock star crushes
Yes Mkty, mine too🥰
Benjamin was an incredible talent. He was taken way too soon. R.I. P. Benjamin.
This one had it all, but mainly in his beautiful heart. Ben was a supreme talent. Poland did send us their best.
Poland?
Not Poland
Polish ancestry.
Interesting that Ben had Polish ancestry and Ric had Czech ancestry. Both from central Europe!
His mother was from Slovakia and father from Ukraine.
I had a big crush 🥰 on Ben. He was so dreamy. RIP Beautiful angel ❤❤❤
That Photo of Ben wearing that Cleveland Browns jersey is tough to look at.. i think he died a month or 2 after that photo was taken. He was down to 125 pounds i believe. Pancreatic cancer is a horrific way to go. Benjamin R.I.P.
Triste mesmo😢
@@estelapontellidesouzahauy5912- Yes, truly sad. ❣️🥀❣️
The true voice of the cars gawd I miss the cars
Who’s going to drive you home??? Tonight…
Excelente singer!!!
24 million albums with 6 albums!
Drive is a hauntingly beautiful song ❤
What a talent!!!
Thanks for sharing this!
Godspeed Ben🙏💯👍❤️
Rest in Peace Ben..never forgotten 🙏🌼
When I found out about him I fell in love and reading his biography he was already an angel 😭 fly high my love
Poor fella….gone too soon. Such a great talent and in my opinion…the Cars true frontman.
AGREED THE TRUE LEAD OF THE CARS
Always loved Ben's contributions to The Cars. What a voice and bass player. I remember hearing about his passing like it was yesterday. Far too young.❤
❤️the Cars and Benny with the most gorgeous face and voice to match RIP Sweetie.
He was absolutely beautiful with a mellow sexy voice
I loved the 70's and made so many good memories listening to The Cars during them. Thankyou for your beautiful music.
Great singer and bass player and a good lookin' dude too! RIP
He had it all!
@@EdCollects Sure did!
Kind of hard to miss his looks. Plus he was so mellow and sang beautifully
Pancreatic Cancer is so viscous and unrelenting. I am so sorry that he died so young.
Yeah, that's rough to die so early.
One of my favorite bands, The Cars. His voice was one of a kind. Thanks for the back history on Ben, he is deeply missed.
"Stay The Night" is still one of my favorite songs.
I just listened to it since you mentioned it. I haven't heard it in years, yeah, it's a great song!
Drive....a great song....
It's so good!! 🤘🤘
Her soul, her heart and her physique were so beautiful, and as sweet as her precious, soft voice. God bless your soul divine Ben!
🙏😇🙏🌹❤️🎼🎵🎶🎸🎙️💓💯💗💯🩷💯😍🤩😘😘😘🤗
When I moved to this country. STAY THE NIGHT. was a big hit I remember lisenig o. The radio all the time. Always will hold those beautiful memories in my heart God bless Benjamin for his music 🎶 and wonderful memories 💐peace in heaven 🙏
That tune always got to me too....
I so wanted to have me some of him! I love the CARS music. RIP Ben.
My fav member of The Cars! 🎶
Love all the songs he sung
🤘😇🤘 Rest Easy
Yeah me too, he was great!
Yeah he was the best
Loved listening to him sing. Easy on the eyes to. Such talent.
RIP Ben. You were a great singer and bass player. From what I have been able to discern you were also a credit to the human race. 👊
I loved his solo record. It was in the cassette playing of my car for a solid year and a half. That song “When you’re gone” was everything. Ben was a legend and should have received more acknowledgment. RIP Ben.
Ben was awesome - what a voice.
He was so lovely and died way too young. I despise cancer.
I just listened to Bye Bye Love extremely loud. I’ve done that fairly regularly since that song first crossed my path in ‘78, courtesy of an album station in Rockford, IL. That song, to me, represents everything that was right with the Cars. Wish it could’ve stayed that way. Thanks, Ben, for such a defining piece of music.
Yes, that's an amazing song! 👊👊
A True Rocker!👊🏾💖
GOD Bless you Benjamin!🙏🏾
Rest in Power✊🏾💖
Benjamin so deserves his place in the Hall of Fame. His vocals alone are thrilling. 53, it's too damn young. 💜✨

The most handsome beautiful talented soul on the earth.. We lost an amazing person ❤
never realised how much talent the Cars had.
Yeah, they were great!
One of the best. Love the band The cars.
Yes! They were so good!
Un magnífico grupo y en especial su voz .
Ellos tienen un tema que marcó mi juventud.
Y hoy día lo tengo como tono de llamada.
Ya saben n cual?
El más romántico ❤️😍
Absolutely one of the greatest
Yes, so great!
gone far too soon, incredible talent, and def the prettiest man in rock. RIP.
Yeah I hate that he died so young.
I saw the cars in nashville tennessee when they were touring the candy o album. I never will forget how spot on they were.
A Great Human Being -R.I.P.
He is definitely missed!
Beautiful man!!!
Musica inolvidable y por su puesto tanbien Benjamin QEPD.
La mejor musica de los años 80.
Musica de mu epoca y que jamas olvidare.

What a good singer. And he Sangs the most famous Song by the cars „drive“. That’s an 80s classic
Such a beautiful looking man. Great voice ❤
If you watch interviews of him, he seemed so humble and down to earth. The polar opposite of Ric Ocasek who was also insanely talented but always came off as being a bit too full of himself.
I love the cars. They were popular in Australia in the eighties.
Yeah I love them a lot also!
I truly miss him
Me too, he was amazing!
Loved this Guy.
What a great singer..So much talent..sad
gone at 53- sad - so much life to give
Inolvdable Ben ❤Fuiste un grande❤ te llllevo dentro de mi corazón

I thought I was the only one who would know about his birthday! I find that so sweet and comforting that he had the same day as the Blessed Mother. Yes he was beautiful
@@April-pw5ub❤ that's cool that you new.
Not Polish - mother was Slovakian and father was Ukrainian
What a gorgeous man, he was! RIP
Great artist . So sad that he passed but his music will live on forever.
Thank you for the video. Last name is pronounced oshe-hovski. Polish last name looks difficult but is not. Same as Ric Ocasek last name as well or could be any other slavic Easter European. Great songs they had. Love that time of rock n roll.
Thanks for watching 👊👊
He meets in buddy Rick 0kask in. Heaven ,may he rest peacefully ,thankful I saw the Cars at mountain aire , angels camp cal

I'm so jealous, I never got to see The Cars.
RIP Ben! Beautiful man. Definitely gone too soon. ♥️♥️♥️
The Cars was My fave band back in the day. I look at them when they were young and feel like I'm 15 again. Their music is awesome and timeless!
I love Benjamin Orr! I always remember him! Stay the night my favorite song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
