When musicians took their craft seriously. The formula for success is when u have a serious writer/composer & vocalist/performer in Ric & Ben. RIP fellas.
This is a absolutely incredible…. 25 years and I’m just discovering the best version of Candy-O. Ben Orr was special in every facet… Thanks for posting this!!!
Saw The Cars on The Panorama Tour.Been a diehard fan since the beginning. Ben is and always was and will be my favorite. Sitting off close to the side of the stage ( security let us sit there)....watching Beautiful BEN on stage so close was something l will treasure for ever.43 yrs.later still dreaming of him.Sweet Blessed Angel. BEN ORR.💜💜💜💋
I wish this version of Candy-O was on an album along with his unreleased songs from the '90s. Ben created some excellent music after the Cars split. He reinvented himself.
Actually, most rockers are very sociable people… Especially when they’re surrounded by people they trust, just like the rest of us. But as they become more popular, that circle of trust gets smaller and the dickishness is a defense mechanism against the idiots who hound them.
I love the cars and I always have from the beginning. Ben was similar to Ronan Farrow, they both have such Ethereal appearance / presence, so pure like angels, so very rare, it almost hurts to look at them
Has there ever been a sexier man with a sexier voice than Ben? I don't think so!!!! He left us way too soon!!! Love you, miss you always gorgeous Ben!!!!!!
Yes, Benjamin Orr was incredibly beautiful and sexy. But has anyone else noticed that this rendition of "Candy-O" by the Ben Orr Band is BETTER than the original Cars version? I love the psychedelic introduction, along with the extended guitar part at the end.
@@desertrose1226 I'm getting tired of the rutger Hauer comparisons. Benjamin Orr is Benjamin Orr. Off the scale in all his guises, legend, unforgettable.
Je ne me lasse pas de cette version si furieusement rock, la voix de Ben est magnifique , force tranquille et magnétique. Merci à vous Carolyn pour le partage!
MusicZombieGirl9999 this is a fucking heavy song period.....it was heavy when the Cars did it and it's heavy here....check out Electric Frankenstein's version, it is not only super heavy it also totally does the song all of the justice it is due
*When one hears just even BENJAMIN ORR'S singing voice -- one can totally understand and/or can picture what a Wonderful Person BENJAMIN was ...its just so so very very sad to me (and I'm sure to a great very many people and his fans when they heard of his passing...) that such a lovely Human Being like BENJAMIN had to be 'taken away' so soon like that. I like to suppose that some of us 'put' here on earth are just meant to become Angels in Heaven just a little sooner than others -- that's the only way I can make sense of it all to tell ya the truth...I just feel I must believe that...if not -- I'd be so utterly forever heartbroken & unable to function at all for the times I've had to 'lose' someone I had loved so purely with all my heart...* *~May God Rest Your Soul In Peace Forever More Dear Benjamin Orr~*
I've had a total crush on Benny since I was a tween....Unfortunately, I was only able to see him on random album covers, was way before MTV came about. And even then, the only actual video I ever remember seeing him in was "Drive"....He has a multitude of looks....Handsome, mysteriously sexy, and adorable, meaning just super cute (when he smiled big) a general babe, altogether. Although, he has blue eyes, in his more candid pics they look "a lot" more green than blue. And for some reason, my extremely green eyes appear blue in photos, just the opposite....I wonder why that is?? I could never figure that out....
Kelly S his eyes like mine are not really green or blue they are a hazel and depending on the clothing and background can appear either blue or green. As I get older they look gray like my hair.
Love this! Such an all round talent, and gorgeous too! So sad that he didn’t get to show us more. I do hope that the unreleased material will one day be published for us to enjoy and remember. RIP Ben Orr ❤️
here i go, the good little Catholic girl comes out in me when I'm overtaken with, er, admiration for Benjamin Orr. jesus, mary and joseph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a HOT song. Likely the hardest, most psychedelic song the Cars ever played! Except this is Benjamin's Orr Band I'm pretty sure I have seen a live video of this. The video quality is pretty awful and so I wasn't appreciating the quality of the playing and vocals as much. Plus, Benjamin was roaming around the stage and not with the studied, elegance and grace of the early days. Let's say it was a gritty, raw, loose performance, as far as stage craft went. But the audio of this, put to Carolyn's superb photos and effects puts this off the charts, raging mad-cool!!!!! WOW!!!
moodylicious I love your comment about this video. I think this is the reaction of many a gal who gets bitten by the Ben bug! Sometimes the gritty, raw and loose performances are the best!!!!
Went to Catholic school also 60’s early 70’s, those nuns pounded in our heads the seven deadly sins which lust was one, oh well can’t abide by that one when it comes to Benjamin. See you in purgatory. Haha.
The sonic experience of this recording is fantastic! I wish he would have released the harder rock Cars songs on his own solo record. I could listen to this 24/7. And for once his vocal is out front and, as always, perfect. And you’ve done a great job with the video and effects. Thank you 🙏
Candy-0 I need you sooooo!!!!! Loveeeeee loveeeeee loveeeeee this!!!! Fabulous!!!!!! Loveeeeed Benjamin !!!! Rock on Benjamin I miss you lots RIP Benjamin
Ben Orr sounds better than ever here . I actually like this more Hard Rock / Metal Version of Candy-O better without the New Wave Synthesizer . 🤗🤑🤔🙄🤙🤘💪👏💦👀🙉🙈🙊✨🌟💫🔥💥🙃👌😏😎
He was SO beautiful and handsome...like a hot mix of Rutger Hauer, Richard Page of Mr Mister with a touch of Tom Hiddleston as he got a bit older. Lovely Benjamin!
For any who may not know it, Orr's only solo album, The Lace, is filled with great songs just like the Cars LPs are. Check it out if you haven't heard it.
When musicians took their craft seriously.

Such an awesome version. Still listening and loving this song in 2024✌🏼
Another “day the music died” when Benjamin left us. Gone but never forgotten.
What a gorgeous and talented man!
Ben Orr,
So handsome and extremely talented!❤

They took the world by surprise, that's for sure! Always love this rock band!
❤❤❤❤❤❤benji orr 2023 forever
Always loved Ben Orr! What a great voice. 👍
I am sad I didn’t discover him earlier
He sounds amazing
I wish this version of Candy-O was on an album along with his unreleased songs from the '90s. Ben created some excellent music after the Cars split. He reinvented himself.
согласно на все 100%.👌🇸🇮
This awesome band's most hard rockin' song ~Candy O~ has always been my favorite of their many, many truly great songs. Rock on Ben Orr!
НЕДООЦЕНИЛИ БЕНА.ТАЛАНТ ЛЕГЕНДА. БОЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ГОЛОС БЕНА БУДУТ СЛУШАТЬ ВЕКАМИ. ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ МУЗЫКАНТ! 👌🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮2023г
This version, and this video are delicious! Thank you for sharing it with us. 🎶🎶🎶💯✨💃👌✨✨✨
One of very few rockers, who was a genuinely good person.
Michael Hutchence was another one
Andy Gibb was another star who was genuinely nice too. Unlike many ..like Jagger or Axl Rose.
Actually, most rockers are very sociable people… Especially when they’re surrounded by people they trust, just like the rest of us. But as they become more popular, that circle of trust gets smaller and the dickishness is a defense mechanism against the idiots who hound them.
"Very few great rockers?"
@@Classic_Rock_Station very true
He was and still all AMERICAN IDOL. You damn SEXY BEAST..! RIP Benjamin Orr..!😞
Omg I didn't think I could love this one more than the original.
I like this version of Candy-O. Rock on Ben!
I love the cars and I always have from the beginning. Ben was similar to Ronan Farrow, they both have such Ethereal appearance / presence, so pure like angels, so very rare, it almost hurts to look at them
This is one damn cool version of the song Candy-O... love it!
Que grande Benjamin con la versión rockera de Candy O ❤ 🔥
Has there ever been a sexier man with a sexier voice than Ben? I don't think so!!!! He left us way too soon!!! Love you, miss you always gorgeous Ben!!!!!!
No, Never, My God the sexist man ever!
I totally agree. So absolutely gorgeous!
No there has never been and I'm just now discovering him
No there hasn't, and there never will be again. He was one of a kind indeed.
I think Rutger Hauer (lookalike of Benjamin ) is close but Rutger doesn't sing.
Ben is one of a handful of bass players that got me playing bass. rest in peace brother
Total musician played several instruments.
Just hearing this version. Fucking Great!! 80's were the best!
He was a very sexy man with the most beautiful eyes.
He was SO BEAUTIFUL!!
I'm 60...this is one of my favs....it's badass.
Yes, Benjamin Orr was incredibly beautiful and sexy. But has anyone else noticed that this rendition of "Candy-O" by the Ben Orr Band is BETTER than the original Cars version? I love the psychedelic introduction, along with the extended guitar part at the end.
It's like a grungy heavier version. Absolutely love it!! When he died so did the Cars imo. He was one of my favs.
sorry don't agree, I love the late 70s version
I love both versions but yes this one is very cool! I really like how this video is made with all the neat artwork and graphics.
no its not just coz your creaming in your pants
Benjamin Orr is a true rock icon love the Cars
A very cool bass player from a very cool band. I miss those days.
Benjamin, he cuts me to the core. Love this harder version.
THIS HAS BLOWN ME AWAY! THE VIDEO IS AWSOME. BEN, COME BACK TO US! WE NEED YOU SO!
Omg my favorite live version of this song!!! Fantastic!!
Gorgeous, beautiful, sexy man. Everything about him was amazing...
He was a beautiful, sexy man, looked a lot like Rutger Hauer. I love your username btw...ORR-some!
The band CARS ,is still amazingly brilliant ROCK N ROLL ,FIRST TIME. I HEARD ON RADIO,EARLY EIGHTYS, STILL ENJOY THESE DAYS TOTALLY,,CLAUDE HUSSEY
@@desertrose1226 I'm getting tired of the rutger Hauer comparisons. Benjamin Orr is Benjamin Orr. Off the scale in all his guises, legend, unforgettable.
Ben Orr a class of his own, I don’t think he resembles another human being, just my opinion.
Je ne me lasse pas de cette version si furieusement rock, la voix de Ben est magnifique , force tranquille et magnétique. Merci à vous Carolyn pour le partage!
Omg that intro tho ❤💋
This is Ben's heavy rock version and I love it.

@@gregpiazza7150
Agree ! and the Electric Frankenstein version rocks too. Added to my playlist.
One of the most beautiful singers I've ever seen and what a voice!!!!
He sure gives Elvis a run for his money!
He was the best singer and beautiful man.
He had a David Bowie quality to his voice the way he could modulate it.
Wow, this is a great version! Just saved it; thanks! 🙏🏼

so much admiration for this beautiful man and PRO musician of so many talents.
So sad that a little more than three years later, Ben was gone.
Gone?

Pure talent Ben
Research Ben Orr, Ric oscak, his song, silver. I love my Cars. Much Love and hurt
Ben Orr sounds better than ever here . I actually like this more Hard Rock / Metal Version of Candy-O better without the New Wave Synthesizer . 🤗🤑🤔🙄🤙🤘💪👏💦👀🙉🙈🙊✨🌟💫🔥💥🙃👌😏😎
That was jolly well excellent
Absolutely majestic!
Just perfection! Why did you take him from us God?!? Why?!!!
I can't stop playing this...just damn..so hot.
A, beautiful man of less recognition. Hall of gamers, I mean, fake, fame, rethink this. Ben orr, I would love him.......
He was SO beautiful and handsome...like a hot mix of Rutger Hauer, Richard Page of Mr Mister with a touch of Tom Hiddleston as he got a bit older. Lovely Benjamin!
Hard to believe it’s been 19 years ..miss him ..
Great version of the classic Cars song, Thank you, Carolyn for adding this!
magical haunting... genius..🦋
Great voice!!
Much love .
Great retrospective. Awesome! Thanks.
He was perfection. Why God did you take him from us!?
Pancreatic cancer took him. Every time I listen to the Cars he is sorely missed! Now him and Ric.
Kashmir upgrade. Very cool version.
Needs more fans who loved em then and now! Shit is the shit!
Yaaaaah! Benjamin I'm baaaaack!
The best Benjamin
Had to stick around to look at all the photos! He's easy on the eyes!
For any who may not know it, Orr's only solo album, The Lace, is filled with great songs just like the Cars LPs are. Check it out if you haven't heard it.
Super som great songs eternos
Ben was a rocker at heart..
Badass! Thanks for posting CG. BO was baddass and were The Cars.

Ben Orr was 🔥
I agree❤
Love this version.
Digging this cool video where Ben is looking spectacular throughout.
Of course!
He reminds me of a young Baryshnikov
Rutger Hauer, sexy Dutch actor.
😢 YES!!!!
@@desertrose1226 and Yes!!!!! 😢
He reminds me of no one else
Yes.... I can see that.
