    Just 25 years ago I was enroute to St Louis from Las Vegas, somewhere over north Texas or sowest Kansas, had a walkman on, with FM a station would last about 4-5 minutes. This came on and played entirely before the station was lost. Now, old, retired, melancholic, I will never forget this piece and will always feel very sad hearing it. You are a genuine bud, benny11letters, and I thank you.

    What a terrific talent was Ben. No one else quite like him. I selfishly hoped he and Rick would be with us much longer than fate allowed. But I guess they were required to be elsewhere. Aside from his immense talent, he was a beautiful soul.

    I was fortunate enough to see The Cars in concert several times and this video brings back happy times / memories. They were not a flashy band but they were a band that when they played their songs they did sound like the studio versions. This song was made for Ben's voice. I can't picture anybody else singing this classic and one of the best songs ever recorded.

    Saw this Heartbeat City tour in summer 1984 in Richmond, VA. Remember, when this song began, there was a hush in the crowd, just like here, likewise, when the song ended, we screamed with teenage delight. What a fantastic concert to witness. The memories iof being 17, not a care in the world & the incredible Cars in concert !!!!
