Keep Rockin Bro , I'm 61 and I've got My Granddaughter to all of the music from my collection of albums especially the cars . She's 12 now and I started her listening since she was 3 🎸✌🎸🎤
i'm 60 , and have been listening to the Cars since 1977 !! Oddly ... Only 1 Person in My Extended Group Liked them !!? Shout Out to Richard B for been that Person !!
Back in the day, the Cars were like the hub of a wheel. All the spokes (Punk, Heavy Metal, Dance, New Wave..you name it ) connected to it.Everyone loved the Cars
Benjamin Orr vocals were always in key. R.I.P. Ben and Ric Ocasek. Orr died at age 53 on October 3, 2000 from pancreatic cancer. The surviving original members of the Cars reunited in 2010 to record the band's seventh and final album, Move Like This, which was released in May 2011. Following a short tour in support of Move Like This, the band once again went on hiatus. In April 2018, the Cars were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and reunited to perform at the induction ceremony. It was the band's final performance with Ocasek, who died in New York at the age of 75 on September 15, 2019 of cardiovascular disease. The Cars were Ric Ocasek - lead and backing vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, Elliot Easton - lead guitar, backing vocals, Benjamin Orr - lead and backing vocals, bass, keyboards, Greg Hawkes - keyboards, guitars, backing vocals, David Robinson - drums, percussion, backing vocals
Thanks for the information I had not known Ben died so young TERRIBLE 😢 AHHH POETIC MUSICAL GENIUS WORLDWIDE SENSATION BRILLIANT MAN UR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER. REST EASY BOYS
I believe Benny 11 letters could play multiple instruments on top of his heavenly voice and oh so hot looks - each member made a valuable contribution and that formed the CARS - so thrilled I was a teen when they were at their peak ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
It doesn't matter how many times I have watched this video. I just can't keep my eyes off Ben. Those sunglasses would look goofy on others, but they look smoking hot on him. Only Ben can pull it off. What a stud.
ya got it or ya don't. ben didn't even have to work at it. although i'm sure he had a stylist playing with his hair and telling him to "try this on" guys wouldn't try the "partridge family" mom shag hair style. it did work for ben i must say.
These guys were not just rock stars, they were true musicians. You see how good a band is when they play live. These cats are always note for note!! Great songs and great performers. Ben Orr’s vocals are like silky smooth yet cut right thru. Easton has always been a guitar hero of mine who grew up in that era and played in bands and live. Great to see when good guys make it.
Who else immediately thinks of Phoebe Cates when they hear this tune ;) Was introduced to the Cars when I was seven (R.I.P. Dad) and they've always had a unique sound and place in my life.
I remember being at a bonfire in 1979 and jamming to “Let’s Go.” I was 15 years old; I’m 59 now. These great tunes bring back so many fond memories of my youth. Thank you for the music. 🎶🎤🎵
Between Greg’s eery keyboard skills and Orr’s voice, this was a masterpiece, and in my mind ByeBye Love/Moving in stereo/ all mixed up should never, ever be separated, anymore than Zeppelin’s heartbreaker/livin’lovin’maid..
From our teens....we blasted these 5 guys our our car stereo speakers....now we're all senior citizens.....still watching listening singing along with THE IMMORTAL 5: THE CARS
Miss this band - so much! When they first started, back in the late 70's, I fell in love with them instantly! Especially Ben....such great and talented musicians!
RIP Benjamin Orr. 🙏 A visionary who left us to soon. The musician who influenced the underground and pre industrial metal. Dark, moody, deep and the real front man of the Cars. We lost a legand and May he live forever. 🙏✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺
❤️❤️Still in love with Benjamin Orr! Is it weird that I am in love with someone who is no longer with us? I feel like he is with us in spirit especially when we are listening to his music. ❤❤
What more to add what Keith said other than the Cars were a truly unique sounding fantastic band with 2 singers that had incredible voices. After watching some of these videos I did not realize Benjamin Orr sang many of the songs. I have a solo album from Rick Ocasek that is one of my favorites. These guys really had a unique sound that other bands could not copy if they tried.
Qué hombre tan lindo y sexi era Ben Orr. Su bonita voz siempre me cautivó y todo él. Siempre lo encontré adorable. No me canso de ver sus vídeos y escuchar su voz. Cuánto lo extraño. Adorable Ben Orr RIP.
I'm watching this concert on u tube tv right now!!! I can watch this over and over again!!! Hello hello again!!! Electrifying performances!!! Rock on in heaven on your 75 th birthday 🥳🥳🥳 today my beautiful angel 😇💖😘 I miss you dearly 😭😭😭
The Cars are still one of my all time favourites. Had their songs playing at my 21st, wedding, 50th, 60th and who knows they're on the list for my funeral
@@jacknewman9256 Ben died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. He played gigs with his other band right up until he died and he sounded amazing believe it or not. He played a gig in Alaska 6 days before he passed away from terminal cancer. Now that a rock star!!
The more I watch them I realize - they were the freakin greatest band ever. I was a kid in their heyday (born in 69), always assumed Ocasek sang all the songs, didn't appreciate their musicianship. They are amazing.
When I listened to The Cars first album in 1979, it became one of my favorite albums and still is today. Tho, growing up I preferred the sound of Heavy Metal, but I always found time to listen to The Cars.
Life's the same moving in stereo life's the same except for my shoes life's the same your shaking like tremolo life's the same its all inside you!!! Loveeeeee loveeeeee loveeeeee this song!!!! Loveeeeed Benjamin!!!! So wish I could have been there!!!! Electrifying performances!!!!
Love the Cars. I’m from New Zealand and I am coming over to the states for a holiday. I’m so excited to go to Ohio to go to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. We are also going out to see Benjamin Orr’s grave. Can’t wait.
Today I decided to take a look back here on UA-cam at my favorite Rock band from my teenage years... ❤ The CARS always and will forever be a favorite of mine!!! Those are some great musicians right there... Gone to soon RIP
They both passed away. Ben in 2000 from pancreatic cancer, and Ric in 2018 from cardiovascular disease. Very sad...no more cars reunions. But they live on in the hearts and minds of their fans that loved them so much...
Saw them with Wang Chung in 1981. What a great concert. Still one of my favorite bands to this day. Every member were great musicians… they were flawless live
Such great songs and the structure and solos were tight as a gnat's chuff. Delivery always spot on and full of understated excitement. There will never be a better band than the Cars.
Wow- amazing… I was a junior in hs at this time… So entertaining, such talent. But I wish Ben would’ve raised his sunglasses so we could see those EYES 🥹
5 songs listened to back-to-back reflect the early music of Ric. Magic, Drive, Emotion in Motion, Soon, and Take Another Look. We were young 10 years before The Cars. His unpublished music was absolutely beautiful. Nothing like Cars music. Ric achieved what he set out to do. He was my friend.
What a fabulous group of very talented musicians; they hit the New Wave scene running with all the pistons firing. Love Ric’s songwriting, kinda reminds me of Bowie’s quirkiness,,,genius. Me Likey! Saw them in ‘79 great show.
Ben Orr ❤ el auto más genial. No sólo era buen cantante, su voz era hermosa y todo él. Un hombre atractivo, encantador y muy agradable. Siempre lo recordaré con mucho amor❤
Mahlhammer says…. Great band to be jamming to at 16 on 8-track and then cassette tapes in my 68 Chevy Nova ! First 2 Cars albums wore them out my son ! Good stuff !
The talent was just so deep in this band. Legendary. Ben Orr was a f’n rockstar
Ditto, exactly
💯💢💥👍
So many memories. Being a graduate of 1983 this stuff was it. Takes me back to cruising in our cars through NoCal. Good times!
Amen...
@@kittykixbootie
same grad 1983...we would spend weekends partying all over Central NY park grounds camping
Elliot Easton is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time!
Yes, so sad really
I'm a pro guitar player and everyone I know recognizes him as a bad ass
I have to agree.
I'm 74 years old and listen to The Cars a lot. Love these guys
I'm 52 will listen forever.they have unique different sound ..peace
Hugs

Seen them twice back in the day. Awesome group 👏
Yes,,, thank you very much,, ,.there music will live on,,, fo sho…
Rick died om 9-15-2019 so I domt know where you get your info but this band is one of the best;

@@kbtube8125 According to Ben’s 2nd wife, he cut his own hair!
@@VintageLPs i can;t imagine ben knowing how to do a shag cut. what do i know though.

They were all business on stage .. Berklee trained .... nobody missed a f'n note.
I've always loved Ben's voice. When the internet came and I saw his videos I love The Cars even more.
Damn the Cars were soo fucking good, even today their music is still relevant.

79 I was 18 jamming to these guys and still are 😅
I was 17 ;)
Eric Sipes house for a kegger every weekend. And the Cars on 10 😂
I was at a bonfire too in Cheshire Ma listening to the whole Album at the same age.
WHAT A FANTASTIC SONG-BEN ORR WAS PERFECTION
Between Greg’s eery keyboard skills and Orr’s voice, this was a masterpiece, and in my mind ByeBye Love/Moving in stereo/ all mixed up should never, ever be separated, anymore than Zeppelin’s heartbreaker/livin’lovin’maid..

Yeah I did too
Miss this band - so much! When they first started, back in the late 70's, I fell in love with them instantly! Especially Ben....such great and talented musicians!
Me also, and im not even gay...lol
Yeah I got my first car in the late 70s and had all of their 8 tracks 😆 great band love them
RIP Benjamin Orr. 🙏 A visionary who left us to soon. The musician who influenced the underground and pre industrial metal. Dark, moody, deep and the real front man of the Cars. We lost a legand and May he live forever. 🙏✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺
Have you noted that? They dress up so properly and be the best as they can be!
Damn! How fucking cool we’re these guys?
They were cooler than dry ice and down like four flat tires with ahh spare with out air
I'm upset that I never saw them live 😢
❤️❤️Still in love with Benjamin Orr! Is it weird that I am in love with someone who is no longer with us? I feel like he is with us in spirit especially when we are listening to his music. ❤❤
I wonder if Benjamin Orr knew how gorgeous and talented was?
Omg…he will never be forgotten ❤
Only if he was here the music love
Ben certainly was a rock god, such a babe, Devine eye candy, wish I’d seen them, thank The Lord for videos ❤️
😢
Saw them 3 times at the Capital Center in Landover, Maryland. They were unique and Masters of their Art !!!
I agree. As crazy as I was for this group I never got to see them. But I would have fainted anyway once I got a glimpse of Benjamin!❤
Ben Orr had it all looks great voice and a all around nice guy he was very humble.
What more to add what Keith said other than the Cars were a truly unique sounding fantastic band with 2 singers that had incredible voices. After watching some of these videos I did not realize Benjamin Orr sang many of the songs. I have a solo album from Rick Ocasek that is one of my favorites.

Elliots short solo on this song is mesmerizing! So good
Yeah 👍🏼😎
What a beautiful man. HOT!!!!
That mouth 👄
“Sexiest mouth in rock & roll” - that’s what I say anyways.

I hear Just What I Needed & I think immediately think CARS! just a fan. 🌹
Benjamin Orr was a true Rock Star.
The Cars are still one of my all time favourites. Had their songs playing at my 21st, wedding, 50th, 60th and who knows they're on the list for my funeral
You are a true CARS fan ❤️
No clue the greatness that was the Cars and Ben Orr. Perfection. Born just a bit late. Sigh.
The boys were on fire this night!...
Ben Orr ! Amazing! Then,and now!
Agreed, he was great then. Now? I suspect that fella doesn't sound so good.
He passed in 2000.
I realize he is no longer with us. I just meant his voice,and the music is as great to listen to now,as it was then.
@@Lucygoose40 agreed
@@jacknewman9256 Ben died in 2000 from pancreatic cancer. He played gigs with his other band right up until he died and he sounded amazing believe it or not. He played a gig in Alaska 6 days before he passed away from terminal cancer. Now that a rock star!!
Benjamin is just what I needed I miss him so much
I like when bands have two singers, makes for interesting songs. The Cars are unique amongst other bands.
Nice observation. Same with Supertramp
Kim Mitchell also has a bass player who sings better than the front man. Check out All We Are.
@@blader45bc A bass player/singer who is the frontman.
@@miguelbarahona6636 Since the Band is named Kim Mitchell I'd say Kim is the front man. He sings most songs
it's kind of like squeeze in that way except with squeeze they had one guy singing down exactly an octave on all the songs
The more I watch them I realize - they were the freakin greatest band ever. I was a kid in their heyday (born in 69), always assumed Ocasek sang all the songs, didn't appreciate their musicianship. They are amazing.
Ben Orr sang almost ALL the hits on Billboard. He’s the Man.
Ben jammed right up until he passed. He was one of yhe absolutely best.
When I listened to The Cars first album in 1979, it became one of my favorite albums and still is today. Tho, growing up I preferred the sound of Heavy Metal, but I always found time to listen to The Cars.
Same, always loved hearing them on my way home from a Sabbath Concert
Funny you said that I was huge sabbath fan and I do like the cars a lot too
Greg is one of the best keyboardist's!!
Life's the same moving in stereo life's the same except for my shoes life's the same your shaking like tremolo life's the same its all inside you!!! Loveeeeee loveeeeee loveeeeee this song!!!! Loveeeeed Benjamin!!!! So wish I could have been there!!!! Electrifying performances!!!!
U missed dah boat BIG TIME
My God they were so spot on Live, and Ben was a STAR!!!
Love the Cars. I’m from New Zealand and I am coming over to the states for a holiday. I’m so excited to go to Ohio to go to the Rock and Roll hall of fame. We are also going out to see Benjamin Orr’s grave. Can’t wait.
You will enjoy both. Don't give up on Ben's burial site . It is in the country.
Wow the guys look so fantastic here. Wished they had stayed together. So sad that ben is gone.
What sis he die of?
@@spottss pancreatic cancer
@@Rose-Rae and far too soon.
Today I decided to take a look back here on UA-cam at my favorite Rock band from my teenage years... ❤ The CARS always and will forever be a favorite of mine!!! Those are some great musicians right there... Gone to soon RIP
Each and every member of this band adds so much. They make up the complete package.
Back in 1980 I air brushed the inside of my custom van.the cover of the candy-o album cover.huge cars fan
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉brilliance❤❤
Love this group really good legend never die and lovely singer Benjamin Orr the cars really my 2 favorite band ❤️❤️
Ben Orr what a talent, one of my favorite songs Moving in Stereo❤
I love his voice
Being from Detroit Michigan helped me to understand music rock and roll Cars all the way man.
Loved Benjamin Orr with all of my ❤️ sad day today 😭😭😭 Happy heavenly birthday 🥳🥳🥳 my beautiful angel 😇 Benjamin Orr 😇💖😘🥰
Their backing vocals are seriously on point here. 🤟
Cant beat that 80s enthusiasm
My most favorite Cars song ❤️ I love Ric but I also love Ben❤️ I hope they are happy and singing today🎶🎶🎶🎶
They both passed away. Ben in 2000 from pancreatic cancer, and Ric in 2018 from cardiovascular disease. Very sad...no more cars reunions. But they live on in the hearts and minds of their fans that loved them so much...
@@anndriggers6660I think they meant happy and playing music in heaven.
all these decades I thought ric ocasek was the singer in the Cars they’re musicianship is up there with the other greatest I believe.
Ben and Ric sounded soooo much alike!!!
@@troyowens2903 ric had that more funky vocal I think
@@troyowens2903Ben was by far the best singer and Ric knew it. They sound nothing alike.
@@VintageLPs I disagree. On some songs yes..they sound very different. On others...it's hard to tell... "Here She Comes Again" for example.
Noone has to Give up when we have Faith and Music like this
Can we please go back in time .
Who could ever forget Moving in Stereo in Fast Times!😎
Saw them with Wang Chung in 1981. What a great concert. Still one of my favorite bands to this day. Every member were great musicians… they were flawless live
Such great songs and the structure and solos were tight as a gnat's chuff. Delivery always spot on and full of understated excitement. There will never be a better band than the Cars.
Ben was very alluring!
when music was music .... the greatest U.S band for me 😀
Wow- amazing… I was a junior in hs at this time…
So entertaining, such talent.
But I wish Ben would’ve raised his sunglasses so we could see those EYES 🥹
A friend of mine introduced me to The Cars during the late 80's and im so glad that he did!
5 songs listened to back-to-back reflect the early music of Ric. Magic, Drive, Emotion in Motion, Soon, and Take Another Look. We were young 10 years before The Cars.
His unpublished music was absolutely beautiful. Nothing like Cars music.
Ric achieved what he set out to do. He was my friend.
Cara srtudo
Their combined talent is like a supernova!
Oooooh mercy......Greg is so cute and cuddly! 💖💖💖
I can remember plugin this 8 track for the first time ,blew my mind
What a fabulous group of very talented musicians; they hit the New Wave scene running with all the pistons firing. Love Ric’s songwriting, kinda reminds me of Bowie’s quirkiness,,,genius. Me Likey!
Saw them in ‘79 great show.
I remember hearing this when it came out back in the day, just blew me away!!! Especially if you had a really good stereo to play it on!!
Their music stood the test of time.
Glad I got to be able to drive around and play some 8 tracks of them 😂😂
Велика вдячність Бенджаміну.
Він дуже талановита та ще й красива людина.
These guys are rock and roll
I love it!!!!
Enjoy everyday don't focus on anything but the Beautiful things ✨️
Awesome band
Ben Orr, mr cool
Way beyond there time this could come out today and be #1 hit
My favorite version of Just want I Needed. Ben is so damn good
love the Bass break.
The Cars are my favorite band. It has been that way for me for forty years. I never get tired listening to them!
The Cars were a big time.
Ben makes me shake like tremblo!!!!!!
Me 2!
Greg Hawkes worked on this track too. You see him enjoy it in a rather rare fashion here :)
BEN FOREVER!!!💔🇵🇱❤️
Ben Orr ❤ el auto más genial. No sólo era buen cantante, su voz era hermosa y todo él. Un hombre atractivo, encantador y muy agradable. Siempre lo recordaré con mucho amor❤
I must have those sunglasses!
😊
I should have gone seen them during this time period. I was 18-19.
They're so cool.. great voices from Ric and .Benjamin
OhmyGod Ben is soooooooooooo HOT!!
Mahlhammer says…. Great band to be jamming to at 16 on 8-track and then cassette tapes in my 68 Chevy Nova ! First 2 Cars albums wore them out my son ! Good stuff !
Saw them in concert in Dallas and Austin. Great new music ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So glad I got to see them in concert in the early 80s. So good!
Best band to come out of the 80s new wave scene imo, and from my hometown Bostan!
Ahhh poetic musical genius worldwide sensation brilliant man nuff said HOLLAR
The Cars were kicking ass in their hey-day here!!!
Definitely one of the best live acts to ever grace a stage!!!
Benjamim era o homem mais lindo do mundo amooóo😍
