[@rebeccasingleton4688]

WE ALL WANTED TO HOLD ON TO BENJAMIN ORR, BUT NOW HEAVEN HOLDS ON TO HIM. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU! WE WILL WILL ALL CONTINUE TO HOLD ON TO YOUR MEMORIES AND MUSIC! THANK YOU BENJAMIN!

[@carolsutton1041]

Yes I really do believe a good genuine person and man. To me all the rest is secondary

[@jasonmorgan5058]

Yep hopefully he was saved

[@teresacruse8733]

Thank you for putting that so eloquently. He will always have my heart. It’s uncanny how many of his fans ALL say,think and describe him basically the same way don’t you think?❣️💔

[@annedupreez9882]

Yes i agree

[@SilverStarEyes]

God he was so so adorable ,he had everything ,the perfect man and I love HIS songs ,all of the harmonies not one bad song on The Lace,I bought my Lace album from the USA I am in the UK ,it makes me calm and relaxed and takes me to another place other than this era .

[@jonibrimley8369]

Love u, Benny

[@femix26]

this guy could write a chorus like nobody else.

[@nikisma]

my favorite song from the lace! i especially love how his voice sounds in his high register which he didn't use very much in the cars (except in harmonies). the man could sing the phone book.

[@williamhucker7797]

Yes! Yes! Beyond perfect. From Patricia H. not William H.

[@desertrose1226]

Benjamin Orr will forever be missed.

[@mstngcindy]

Come on, hold onto me, belong to me....Oh Ben, you are so missed!

[@reneechristopher2121]

DAMN! He was sexy in the leather outfit. ❤❤😊😊

[@purplesunflower8242]

Best looking Rock Star ever ! he knocks spots off them all ! Talent vibe everything about him...RIP xx

[@julenepegher6999]

Purple Sunflower very well said! Everything he sings just knocks it out of the park. This is ultimate Ben here all in leather. In my opinion.

[@williamhucker7797]

Purple Sunflower and Julene Pegher, I have probably already commented here somewhere, but anyway it deserves a second comment: He is beyond marvellous and I agree with everything you both have said about the sublime Ben. From Patricia H. not William H.

[@annedupreez9882]

I agree with you.

[@jackiejohnson6064]

It was a very sad day when he passed away Benjamin Orr a great looking guy and a voice of an angel

[@nickyhill7938]

Well at least he got to play with the cars one last time before his death.

[@tamponnebretagne6240]

FROM FRANCE.Un artiste complet injustement sous estimé et méconnu en dehors des USA.Surtout en france pratiquement pas de commentaires en francais.Je ne le 'ai découvert que cette année en juin 2021 et depuis je suis fan absolue.Cette voix ce physique

[@patriciasaavedra8468]

Completamente de acuerdo en lo que dices. Fue injustamente subestimado, mucha gente desconocía y aún desconoce que the Cars tenía dos cantantes. Benjamin Orr y Rick Ocasek. Aunque Rick también tenía muy buena voz, era el líder del grupo, siempre figuraba él en todo. Por lo cual Benjamin permaneció casi en el anonimato. También lo encuentro injusto porque, los dos formaron la Banda. Considero que todo los componentes eran muy buenos. Sentí muchísima tristeza cuando se separaron en 1988. Pero siempre los recuerdo a todos, en especial a Benjamin. Aún ahora 2022 continúo viendo sus videos.

[@monnybzar80]

Isso faz bem para os espíritos deles e para a alma de vocês. Continuem. Que Deus os abençoe sempre 🙏❤🎶🎸🇧🇷🎤🎶

[@Ommm2z]

Benjamin Orr An underappreciated wonder I do what he tells me to do Because of everyone I ever came across I trust him the most

[@denisem270]

I loveeeee this song!!!!! Benjamin's voice so beautiful!!! Gorgeous !!!! 💖💖💖🎸🎶🎶🎶😍⭐⭐⭐⭐😘😘😘

[@annedupreez9882]

Best voice ever goes right thru me the lady who had his Son was so lucky. I wonder if he looks like Ben. Xx

[@joanRooney-x8j]

Someone should make a movie of his life, I'd go see it a hundred times over!!! ( hard part would be finding someone to play him, there was only ever one Ben Orr!) ❤

[@Ommm2z]

He would not like that

[@debbiebrockway4768]

Yes that would be a Great movie. Young Roger Taylor the drummer from Queen kind of reminded me of Benjamin back in the day. Happy Heavenly Birthday dear Benjamin. We miss you❤️🙏🏻

[@anniehiggins2063]

When Ben's photograph is zoomed in on at 0:29, it makes me tear up a little bit. It really reminds us of what's gone. This is an amazing video. I just wish that Ben and Ric were still here.

[@carolebarker2195]

I know, Annie. It's such a beautiful photo...it's so HIM!

[@arielle1121]

Don't walk ahead of me I may not follow Don't walk behind me I may not lead Just walk beside me Hold my HAND And be my friend

[@denisem270]

We all wanted to hold on to Benjamin !!! I loved him so much and I miss him so much with all of my heart 💖 loveeeee this song💖💖💖

[@Ommm2z]

Anyone who can bring you to tears And humble you Without being cruel Well ...

[@moodylicious]

This is a very nice song. Gosh, it sounds like something you'd hear from Abba back it the day. Love it.

[@candacecotton7410]

Hello again Ben orr😊😍 he so hot

[@privatepenguin3137]

I remember this song very well...it reminds me of being in high school. It got some pretty good radio play on WBCN in Boston.

[@brendakrieger7000]

que hermosa cancion y que linda vos del bellisimo benjamin

[@glynisjones8128]

Timeless!!!!

[@Ommm2z]

Give it up I'm feeling something Beautiful Loneliness Was starting to become Suitable To me

[@Ommm2z]

And then it became a permanent thing

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I believe the 80s sound peaked at the time of this release. After 1986, things began changing and a new sound for the early 90s was developing. REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others were up and coming.

[@April-pw5ub]

From what I’ve read, he was offered the chance to record a solo album in 1984. It took him two years to release it because he wrote his own music but relied on his girlfriend to write the lyrics. She had no experience doing so, but for some reason he wouldn’t work with anyone but her. It took a long time to write the songs . I feel the album could have been a bigger success if he had also worked with professional writers. I think the delay made it lose momentum. 4

[@MisterMikeTexas]

@@April-pw5ub Perhaps Ric Ocasek should have allowed and strongly encouraged Ben to develop his songwriting skills. It kind of seems Ric was keeping Ben down, and not willing to give up any of his control over The Cars, or the prior projects. I guess Ben could have gotten with David Foster and his connections, but then the result might have been another Survivor or 80s-ized Chicago-like album. Complete with Toto's rhythm section.

[@christineahearn4087]

@@April-pw5ubyeah, the gf was trying to capitalize on his fame and when the cars broke up she dumped him.

[@April-pw5ub]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@christineahearn4087 She was trying to set herself up in the music business. She hoped that her and Ben could be a songwriting team. They had a contract with a music publishing company, but didn’t finish it.

All the hurtful days Are finally vanishing Making all your fantasies Realities

[@carolki1315]

Does know anyone know why Ben called his album The Lace?

[@April-pw5ub]

I heard him answer on a radio interview posted on YT. It’s from the lyric “the lace that got away.” from the song titled “The Lace”. Funny, because for being the title track, it wasn’t released and I’ve never performed it when he went solo in the 1990’s. I get the impression neither he nor the record label liked it much.

[@robyngargett2167]

I think Diane Grey Paige liked it better. ❤

[@Ommm2z]

It refers to being The One who got away The Lace that got away I won't explain anymore than that

[@Ommm2z]

​@@robyngargett2167I sincerely doubt it

[@arielle1121]

I don't know much about life What I know I learned from him
