Benjamin Orr - It's All I Can Do

twitter @benjaminorrfans
from 1979 Cars Candy-O album

[@kashesan]

He had one of the best voices in Rock

[@laurelwood791]

Quarter of a century later, after Ben Orr's passing.....we're all still here by the Thousands....Tuning in, looking up, listening, watching thee One and Only BENJAMIN ORR. That speaks volumes. I sure hope he can see the loyal dedicated fans, all because he simply was and will remain the immortal Benjamin Orr.

[@bobwirth9256]

Agree, We don't go looking for old music , we look for the memories they carry with us , music like this has no expiry date 🍷🍷

[@daveredinger1947]

Such a beautiful comment!! I am sure Ben appreciates you and all of us that love the music 🎶!!!

[@leahflower9924]

This got over a million views wow that makes me happy this is one of my favorite songs

[@supernova1652]

Hell yea man, you said it all!

[@magneto7930]

This and "All Mixed Up" are my 2 favorite Cars songs with Ben on lead vocals. I sure do miss him, and Ric as well.

[@alcondragon]

This song is mystical and pure magic. It opens portals....

[@alanhowe225]

I rushed out and bought the 45 of "Let's Go" the first time I heard on the radio. "It's All I Can Do" was on the B Side. I wore both sides out in short order. Thanks for the Great memories.

[@chimchim90210]

The most underrated Cars song IMO, and one of my overall favorites of any band anytime.

[@garygolfer3243]

Your opinion is shared by many. Very underrated

[@michelepaine8480]

That and Moving In Stereo. Epic.

[@garygolfer3243]

Michele Paine Ah yes, on the Pioneer Supertuner with Jensen triaxles in the back.

[@elcajoia619]

Strange, when Rick passed I opened a Bottle of Rye and sat in the back yard and reminisced High School in the late 70's. How I over looked this song baffles me, sure Rick wrote it, but Orr's effort is a next level memory for sure.

[@mattwilliam4803]

-I second that

[@user-hl9hm9he5q]

The Cars were one of my most favorite Bands. I saw them live in the 70's. Benjamin was my favorite. I thought he was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. I'm so heartbroken that he died so young. The fact that it was Cancer was a crushing blow to me. I lost my only son to Cancer when he was 32. Nobody deserves to suffer like that. I'll always keep listening to your music. Sending love and prayers to you Benjamin I hope you are in Heaven with Rick and my son Matthew. 😔💔🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️🎸🎶

[@FenderBassDave]

Sorry for your loss, my mom also died from cancer. I miss her so much!

Pancreatitis is a horrible disease pancreatic cancer is death my brother had it capsulated and survived 10 years but the doctor said we removed the mother the children will be looking for her it spread all over.

[@kmann7249]

David Robinson's drumming! He never seems to get much camera time, but he is integral to the band and gives every song characteristic beat!

[@mikecsiki22]

So glad I was alive when this was brand new. These guys were literally loved by everyone.

[@mrcoffee5909]

Greg Hawkes synth on this entire song is just incredible. The solo in particular is stellar.. 🍁🎶🍂🔥🔥🔥🌟💜📻🤩

He is good but it’s called a Band for a reason and they were a EXCELLENT BAND

[@sararichmond8476]

Yep WOW!!!!!!! 💥

[@bobkennedy5585]

Ben made the Cars. His voice powered my soul back then. Miss this legend wish he hadn't left us so young.

[@mightychuba4025]

May I humbly disagree? What made the Cars different is the keyboard player. Quite understated yet, take him out, and the music is quite ordinary. Please don't kill me😢😂

[@bobkennedy5585]

@@mightychuba4025 ha ha ha I won’t kill you. They keyboardist Greg Hawkes was amazing and was a huge part of their sound. I just thought Ben’s voice was the soul of the band. They were all great and gifted musicians. Take care my friend.

[@Hawkrvo]

Why divide The Cars with Ben is better crap.

[@zyrrhos]

@@mightychuba4025 I don't think Hawkes' keyboards made their sound as much as Ray Manzarek's made The Doors. It's pretty standard as far as new wave goes, but it beautifully compliments their sound. Now, Easton's guitar playing, on the other hand... very underrated.

[@kristenfahsholtz4029]

The Lord always takes...but he gave his music 🎶🎶🎶. I'm grateful.

[@harley7614]

You know that you were significant in life when strangers are still drawn to your contributions in your short time in this thing called life. Excellent song, excellent lyrics and just good music.

[@techtentactical2778]

I never get tired of listening to this song. A true masterpiece.

[@kevinbee1006]

Sometimes when a band member dies no matter what you do no matter how hard you try that sound is gone forever... that was Ben, I have heard nothing but great stories of this man over the years he sounds like a sweet man and I wish I could have met him his music has influenced me in the beginning years RIP Benjamin you are truly loved and missed...

[@MrAlbatros2]

I enjoyed so much reading this. Greetings from Constance lake in Germany from Croatian lady who is one of the biggest fan of our unforgettable Benjamin.

[@coindude69]

What a beautiful tribute to Ben. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I wholeheartedly agree! I miss him and the Cars so much! I'm so happy i was a preteen/teen in the 70's!

[@tannawallace4619]

And easy on the eyes!

[@moodylicious]

one of Elliot's most magnificent, soaring solos at 1:55 One of the most perfectly crafted songs The Cars ever made!!!!!! David's drumming!!!!!!!!!! Greg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Layers of Elliot's lead. Ric's melody and lyrics!! and that delicious voice of Benjamin Orr. Once in a lifetime, or twenty, do the stars align for such as this.

[@carolebarker2195]

Thank God the stars did align, Moody!

[@joevanseeters2873]

Ben's vocals are incredible as always, but Greg Hawkes needs mentioning here as his incredible keyboard playing just makes this song! Greg's keyboard playing throughout almost all of The Cars songs through the years had a lot to do with the "sound" of the Cars. They were a unique blend of Pop, New Wave, Rock, and other styles that just worked and created one of the greatest bands of the late 70's and 80's.

[@michaelperez5475]

Joe Van Seeters I respect your comment but to me from the first time I heard the Cars They became my favorite band for eternity. That good

[@derickarnold3301]

Michael Perez the car is just absolutely Kick-Ass

[@michaeldupree4360]

Totally agree! Greg Hawkes really brought a lot of different but awesome sounds and energy to the cars catalog!

[@michaelatoz580]

To me the Cars helped make MTV part of my youth and an imprint on my brain forever!

[@joeyricci3796]

The entire band was amazingly tight. The complete original lineup was the best.

[@joenagy6803]

Ben Orr in his prime. what talent.

[@seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

Benjamin Orr IMO is the most underrated vocalist in the history of the planet .What a a vocalist, damn he could sing

[@freddafox6265]

[@FIGGY65]

I vote a tie for Frank Black/Charles Thompson !

[@alakazamela]

This song is exquisite. It has such a wistful loneliness I get a bit of a lump in my throat every time I hear it.

[@carolebarker2195]

Beautifully put. Ben's voice is almost child-like in this. He doesn't sound like this in any other song.

[@sandrinebonnaire5786]

Damn, Ric and Ben both gone :( :( . Today's young peeps don't understand how heartfelt, creative, real, and organic rock was back in the late 70s and 80s. Now it's all auto-tune of pop schlock and violent sexual lyrics of rap. ;(

Lol, it never happened but that is youth, this tune takes me right back to those bittersweet days.

[@EarmuffHugger]

He talked and sang at the same time kind of like alot of famous vocalists such as Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and many older crooners of by gone eras. It was apparently natural for him. His vocals were extremely unique though, like no one else's. His smoothness and ability to put feeling and meaning into each word is unsurpassed in the Rock genre.

[@davidshanahan7937]

Hate to admit it Elsiegirl but the same for me!

[@chairmanmeow3693]

+Elsiegirl That's the way Ric wanted it. He knew after he wrote a song who would sing the lead.

[@desertrose1226]

Earmuff Hugger yes, I do agree with this. Benjamin had a unique voice, style and pronunciation of words when he sang, it's lovely to hear him sing on "Stay The Night"... It's a sweet typically 80s love ballad but to me it's different from the run of the mill ballads of the time. It's become one of my fav tunes ..."Drive" being my ultimate fav 80s hit..

[@luvbasses5487]

When I was young with that...impressionable mind, it was the early 80's...and this song was ALL OVER the airwaves. Out of many of their huge hit songs it was THIS SONG that was left behind in my mind only to bang around in there for the next thirty years or so. It still sounds fresh even today. I think that's what every musician tries to achieve- a song of lasting quality that has tremendous "staying power." Ben was...."a natural" when it came to grabbing ahold of a musical idea and transforming it into a wonderful catch-hook and ultimately, a hit song. I absolutely adore this band.

I agree! Back then, we saved our money, bought the albums, found time to blast them when our parents were out. The Cars weren't a New Wave band but a whole phenomenon of the modern Rock era. They were in the class of "The Greatest Rock Bands Ever" with whole albums full of great songs. They incorporated the keyboard too, so did Boston, but not like this! New Wave at the time was Missing Persons. Not everyone liked them, but EVERYBODY loved The Cars.
