Elliot Easton was about six years younger than the rest of the Cars. They knew how bloody good he was so they protected him and encouraged him to be a great rock star.
At 40 Benjamin was a full blown sexy rock and roller. The band was so tight together and each one superbly talented. Their music is absolutely timeless. I so much appreciate all the work you have done to preserve and share these unforgettable moments!❤❤❤
Beautiful Benjamin with that amazing voice but David Robinson looks amazing here. Bedr drummer ever and so underrated. Met all the Cars except Greg Hawks. Thank you David Robinson for tickets and backstage passes in Boston and RI. I will never forget!
Os anjos vêem a terra para nós trazer alegria e proteção o anjo Benjamim Orr veio para nós trazer alegria e prazer ouvindo a voz dele a gente viaja se sente em paz 🕊️ eu agradeço a Deus por me dar a oportunidade de ouvir uma voz tão linda ele agora foi se juntar aos anjos como ele e alegrar ao criador que o fez tão perfeito todos tem uma missão nessa terra a dele foi nos fazer feliz com seu talento e o Ric Ocasek era um compositor incrível e abençoado
Great video of a gorgeous and talented man. The fact that Ben was so confident yet not arrogant made him all the more sexy. He is sorely missed, we are losing too many of our rock n roll heroes!!
+Lisa Knell Yeah, but we have American Idol to replace them. (That was sarcasm by the way). Today people are told who the "talented people" are and they follow like sheep.
Yeah, remember the live video, Just What I Needed -- The Midnight Special 1978? Benjamin had certain looks/mannerisms throughout that song, especially the first half of it when he would look away at times; so cool, with manly bravado: women wanted to be with him and men wanted to be him. I miss that guy!
Yes, he that sidelong glance. I saw him live with the Cars; he was unmistakably the front man. I was sorry to see him so relegated to the background in many of the videos. I would have resented that bitterly, had I been him. As for his looks - yes, the kind of mouth and eyes that would make women suffer! :-)
Same . ❤️❤️❤️ So blessed to have gotten the chance to meet him in 1980 after a Cars concert at Merriwether Post Pavilion in Maryland !!🤩❤️ I was on cloud 9 getting my picture taken with him!!!!!

Benjamin, a very beautiful man physically, with such a beautiful and soft voice. The Cars were a very god band,of excelent quality, all very good musicians. I love you the Cars forever !!! Cars
The Cars look so good all in black leather. Benjamin looks exactly like his Too Hot to Stop video. Except the sunglasses on top of his head & no makeup. Wish he would have had a guitar or bass in that video, would have been so much better. But this is really great. Gotta love The Cars !
Ric was smart enough to realize that his best written songs should be sung by the band's best voice: Ben Orr. He said as much at the Crock'n'Roll acceptance speech. The CARS were a great collection of individual talents that meshed into a super cohesive band. I never tire of their songs. Simply brilliant
@@animemanganet That was pretty much the last straw. Other members were feeling pushed to the side, Ric got tired of the whole thing and wanted to end the group, he hated touring. It had been building for a while.
I never thought that Ocasek gave Benjamin enough space and/or creative license. There's a couple of clips where Benjamin gives Ocasek the evil eye. Unfortunately, Benjamin is another great who would probably still be with us if not for freakin' cigarettes. RIP Benjamin, you were superb.
+drumsport - I agree! The songs on The Cars albums always had to be Ric's songs (as he admits in one of his interviews) despite the tremendous talent of the other band members. You would have thought that Benjamin would have been included in the writing, especially after his solo album charted higher than Ric's.
Ocasek's voice may have been a change of pace from Benjamin's silky vocals, and greased his ego in the process, but I never cared for it. I would have loved to hear ALL of The Cars songs re-recorded with Benjamin in the lead. I never met Benjamin, but back in '64, the bands I played in played some of the same gigs, and everyone dug the talented and cool Benjamin Orr.
@@daveratowski1473 This is from their last album Door to Door, and it was not a fun one for the group to record. They were having internal conflicts, and everyone had pretty much had it.
@@KittyGrizGriz what’s with the double negative? Don’t you mean ‘ was’? In conclusion, there are four definitions/ uses of the word ‘ boy’ ie: used informally or lightheartedly to refer to a man. Term of endearment such as ‘ lover boy’. 🤣 the more you know 🤣 Thanks for playing 👋👋👋👋👋
@@foxspurplelolli4318didn’t know this was a “game”. It’s how I choose to express myself sometimes and Ben is still fabulous even though he passed many years ago. Get over yourself 😉.
@@KittyGrizGriz hmmmm well if you are so believing in self expression why did you flap your gums about my original post? I was just expressing myself You’re a hypocrite Get over myself? Bitch I didn’t even know who you were till your ass decided to engage me!!!!
Loving it. Ben was sexy. Love the black leather outfit. ❤❤. Cherry lips and delirious eyes. What can I say? As a fledgling songwriter, I would never have come up with something like that. Ben's had the lips, eyes and all that. Sorely missed.
Since about 1963 actually. I believe it was Life magazine that wrote an article about him when he was 15. Also, I think he was in a band called the Grasshoppers that were the house band on a tv show, don't know the name of the show.
I really love this version of my newfound favorite song!!! You can watch what's happening on the stage. I thought Elliot Easton done and awesome guitar lead and Benjamin was spot on, as always!!!
EE was SO damn cool in this!!! He had perfected his thang. Loved him as the young expressive player but this more mature, cool dude is quite cool, as well. Benjamin, off the richter scale of hotness. Here's a seasoned, confident MAN: sexy, primal, gritty, ...... pshew!!!!! One of my favorite Cars songs for it's hard rock edge and unexpectedness.
Eva Pearlene Fulks, they pretty obviously played the studio recording without the vocals and faux played to it, while Ben actually sang live. They did this a few times with their televised performances. I have no problem with it.
Omg !!! I llloovvveeee this so, so much.....and guess what I am number 777 likes!!!! That's like.....a very good sign!!!! Xoxo to all Benjamin and Cars lovers!!
This song and Everything You Say, I think, are the 2 good songs on the album, BUT only in live versions! Ben made them rock out, he put life and swagger to them. He owns them and it's so great to watch his magic despite negative things that were apparently going on behind the scenes!!
Seven Seas17 There were two other songs that could have been lead off songs for Door to Door unfortunately Ric seemed to want it all but sadly the album as a whole was a stinker and you could see disention among the ranks in the video.
It looks they're performing the studio version and not playing live, except for Ben singing. He made a couple of minor lyric flubs, but he's so cool that they were improvements. This song is in my Cars all time top 5-- it's brilliant.
1louloubel l love the cars I got pregnant during one of their songs. I was like 21 in the late 70s I always thought that the cars were a really neat band. They had so many cool songs.
I hope Ben knows just how much we miss him, even after all these years.
Elliot's solo....God...I love this song for so many reasons.
It’s easy on the guitar.
Elliot Easton was about six years younger than the rest of the Cars. They knew how bloody good he was so they protected him and encouraged him to be a great rock star.
They weren't punk, rock, pop, or new wave. They were The Cars.
That's a good statement, they don't fit into any box perfectly, they are the Cars👍🏻🎸
And God they were great.
That solo by Elliot!
👏👏I Love ❤️ my Cars!
The Cars were and remain the band that always sounded better live than in studio. Amazing. Don't know who else I can say that about.
At 40 Benjamin was a full blown sexy rock and roller. The band was so tight together and each one superbly talented. Their music is absolutely timeless. I so much appreciate all the work you have done to preserve and share these unforgettable moments!❤❤❤

What was Ben like in person?
Here was Benjamin 40 years old and still beautiful man. Rest in peace gorgeous Benjamin. You are so missed by all of us.
Right?!?
@@selenadiaz2665 By all of his fans, of course.
I thought he was way younger!
I thought he was GORGEOUS. So hot. RIP Benjamin

Oh, beautiful Benjamin...that smile, those eyes, the expressions, the looks he gives. And oh, his voice. Miss you sweetheart.
I always loved how Ben would step back into the shadows and let Elliot shine when he soloed on a song. Class act..
Absolutely. True Virgo there!!
I can’t believe he’s gone 22 yrs
You do realize that Ben and Elliot where indeed best friends !
He looks annoyed and bored during this performance.
me too! He never hogged the spot light! A true professional
nothing hotter than BEN
Too true.
This song is so sultry! Eastons solo is fire!!! Benjamin Orr..."cherry lips & delirious eyes" what else can one say???
That is a Rock Star guitar solo.
Great video of a gorgeous and talented man. The fact that Ben was so confident yet not arrogant made him all the more sexy. He is sorely missed, we are losing too many of our rock n roll heroes!!

I miss Benjamin ...Rest in peace humble man..
I love how they are all in black/ leather, especially Ben he’s heart-stopping!
Man that look at 3:15. One of the greatest voices and talents of all time
3:15
Good God.. He is so damn beautiful
And this is why we need a time machine.
Ooh. Ooh. Sign me up!
I'm in ! ❤
Oh gosh no matter how many times I watch Ben he always makes me melt

This was from the 1987 MTV Awards in September 1987. They did a two-song set including You Are The Girl. Double Trouble definitely had an edge...
Such a good looking man. RIP sir! ❤
I've watched a lot of Benjamin's videos and I think this video is his sexiest. He is so gorgeous here.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love Elliot Easton’s guitar hooks.... he’s so damn good!
Elliot is a master, make no mistake about that !
Great lead guitarist!
Very unique with a fluid mix of styles that becomes his own.
Is it my imagination or do a lot of women on this board seem to think highly of Benjamin Orr? What on Earth could it be? Hmmmm...such a mystery...
The man was sex on a stick!!! Lol
😂
Elliot Easton is one of the most underated guitarists ever. He was absolutely fabulous. Ben Orr had such an amazing stage presence. Great band.
Ben, what a Rockstar on every level, and so gorgeous to boot!
Always gorgeous ❤
A great song for Rock music. Heavy and thought provoking like all great Rock
Ultra rare video. We miss you Benjamin Orr. Rest in Heavenly Peace Brother.
The Cars look so good all in black leather. Benjamin looks exactly like his Too Hot to Stop video. Except the sunglasses on top of his head & no makeup. Wish he would have had a guitar or bass in that video, would have been so much better. But this is really great. Gotta love The Cars !
No way that the Cars could go on without Ben Orr! His vocals offset Ric's. Without Ben, they are not the Cars. I think that they realized that.
So true. Watched the "New Cars" on David Letterman only a few years' back. Ric sang most of the songs, very low, almost empty???
Very empty, he was lost without Ben to guide them. Ben was the heart of the band and it showed.
TOTAL TRUTH! Without Benjamin Orr, there are no CARS!
Not true and Benjamin Orr 💕 would agree. From Tracey
Ric was smart enough to realize that his best written songs should be sung by the band's best voice: Ben Orr. He said as much at the Crock'n'Roll acceptance speech. The CARS were a great collection of individual talents that meshed into a super cohesive band. I never tire of their songs. Simply brilliant
I haven't seen this before, love it! Anything Ben did was awesome, great performer!
Tenho 68 anos de idade eu nunca vi homem tão lindo como benjamim rro
He was the engine of The Cars
Wowza!!!!! Electrifying performance!!!! I can watch this a million times!!!! Beautiful Benjamin Beautiful voice
Benjamin sooo handsome and talent know wonder all the Women liked him he made magic with the Cars ! what a shame he passed to young ......Sad..RIP
They needed to do more Orr vocal songs. They went full Ocasek. Never go full Ocasek.
This album was controlled by Ric. He gave the band a cassette and said learn this. This is what eventually broke up the band imo.
@@animemanganet That was pretty much the last straw. Other members were feeling pushed to the side, Ric got tired of the whole thing and wanted to end the group, he hated touring. It had been building for a while.
Ben is such a talented handsome soul. Legends never die 🥰😍💗😘
In this video... the sexiest man I´ve ever seen. But even he alwasys looks so sweet and kind man!
i know, Clau!!!
so under rated, rock hall of famers right here
Love the Cars definitely underrated. Benjamin Orr and Ric Ocasek are truly missed.
Benjamin ❤❤❤❤
God, Benjamin is beautiful!!!! R.I.P. beautiful man!!!
Goci
oh yes sexy is a understatement ohh my lord addicted to Ben and cars mmmmmmm
Beautiful Ben love him to bits x
Benjamin Orr was 40 and so smokin' hot!! I especially love the looks from 3:13 to 3:38. And yes, I would agree that he's much sexier than Elvis!
Soooooooo damn HOT!!! This song has such a sexy swagger to it, and I really wish that they had made a music video for it.
Very sultry, but he just doesn't look happy on this tour.
I never thought that Ocasek gave Benjamin enough space and/or creative license. There's a couple of clips where Benjamin gives Ocasek the evil eye. Unfortunately, Benjamin is another great who would probably still be with us if not for freakin' cigarettes. RIP Benjamin, you were superb.

Notice Benjamin looks over to Ric when he says "broken pride".
yes and? what do you mean
The beginning of the end of the Cars.
No why
And he curls his lip in Elvis style!
@@daveratowski1473 This is from their last album Door to Door, and it was not a fun one for the group to record. They were having internal conflicts, and everyone had pretty much had it.
Benjamin - pure molten sexiness 🌄💝💋💘🍑❤️💛💖🔥 made even more potent by the Cars really rocking out. Freeeeyowwwwww!!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥
Ben rocked! Love the Cars!
Ben Orr, the legend of the Cars !!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Único Benjamin !!!!!!!!!!
Que hombre más guapo y sexy. Su voz sólo lo hace más perfecto. Ríp ❤
Essa musica do Cars meu Deus é simplesmente visceral 💜❤️🩷
LOVE YOU BENJAMIN
Me too!!. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our Beautiful Boy Ben
Ben ain’t no boy, he’s a man.
@@KittyGrizGriz what’s with the double negative?
Don’t you mean ‘ was’?

There will never be an end to the Cars.
Benjamin's "Elvis lip" :)
+bluefawn98 - Benjamin's lips are "double trouble"!
I never saw the relevance of Ric to be honest. His rhythm is so quiet and his vocals not a patch on Ben's. Benjamin Orr was ''The Cars'
Well, he did write all the songs so there’s that.
I really love this version of my newfound favorite song!!! You can watch what's happening on the stage. I thought Elliot Easton done and awesome guitar lead and Benjamin was spot on, as always!!!
EE was SO damn cool in this!!! He had perfected his thang. Loved him as the young expressive player but this more mature, cool dude is quite cool, as well.
Benjamin, off the richter scale of hotness.
Here's a seasoned, confident MAN: sexy, primal, gritty,
...... pshew!!!!!

Ben had the best vocals.
I really appreciate musicians. There music is so much fun listening to. They are so talented.

Great The Cars song. This album didn't get much airplay. Sounds great though in 2021.
FABULOUS!!!!!!

Miss him ❤️
Bought this album when it first came out. Awesome
Such a nice voice
Happy Birthday Benjamin Orr.
Benjamin is smoking hot!!! RIP Benjamin
Ben looked and sounded like a melodic British singer to me while Ric talked his songs
Muito lindo!!!!!!
The Late Ben Orr I saw them during this year in the Twin Cities
Gone for now. But Never forgotten. "You'll be back. " Everything comes full circle. Everything of of this World is temporary. Except for love❤
