Even when he was older and not feeling well, he still had it. I only wish KZbin and social media was bigger when he passed away; we would have way more "modern" content from him. There are a few bad quality videos that exist, but not much from before he passed away.

Ric usually virtually planted himself stage left (on the right for the audience). What a time to choose to go rambling around on stage! Yet, a comment I saw recently said Benjamin and Ric each stepped back when the other was singing lead, to “share the spotlight.” I guess Ric didn’t get the memo.

I have to wonder if Ben's looks made Ric jealous. He hardly ever sang backup when Ben was singing lead either. I think Ben has the better voice and wish he sang most of the songs. So what if Ric wrote them, doesn't mean he needs to sing them. Jmo.

[@kato64]

Jason Phelps - I their last interview before Orr’s passing, Ocasek said when working on the songs they’d normally both take a go at the vocals, and then decided who’d take on the lead vocals, but if he (Ocasek) knew the song “needed a good voice” Orr automatically did the lead vocals. I have to say I’ve always thought their voices sounded alike. But Ben Orr was the one who made the ladies weak at the knees.

[@mk5224]

[@dvelilla]

Not true. Ocasek got most of the attention because he was the primary vocalist and wrote every song. To say Orr was the soul of the band diminishes the roles of the other members. Who are The Cars without Orr, with his subtle bass lines and dramatic, melodic, seductive vocals? Without Easton's concisely potent and memorable solos. Without Hawkes signature synth lines. And finally, who are The Cars without Robinson's infectious backbeats and rhythmic fills? They are but a shadow of the super group they became. But together they are the sum of their parts.

Of the Top 40 songs Ric sang 10 to Orr's 3 and of the 18 Top 100 songs Ric sang 13 to Orr's 5. That's 72% for Ric. Like I said, Ocasek was the primary singer.

It’s just a known fact that there’s no primary singer at all really, it’s all based on who thinks what. They’re both singers of the band, and now they’re both dead.

So much BS over Queen and Freddie's sing-a-long which was idiotic. He sings a bunch of scales, the audience responds and at the end he yells "fuck you" and the crowd roars!!??...Really? Is that art or music? You want me to yell "fuck you" ? That's mob mentality spiced with booze and drugs....stupidity!

Damn right!

Ben was boyishly adorable that day. His enthusiasm was all over that performance as he rocked on his feet.

[@carolebarker2195]

What a lovely way to put it!! Wasn't he just! I love the way he sings "that you wear". So unusual.

[@julenepegher6999]

Isn’t he just the cutest? The wind blowing his hair and rocking in those tennis shoes!

Ben Orr born 1947. He would have been approx. 38 at this performance. How can a man look that good at that age ?

[@carmenmandrews]

@@Bruce15485 Thirty-eight is still a hot age for a lot of men. (A lot of women too, TBH.)

[@AMilo-qm4ed]

@@Bruce15485 technically he was still 37. he would turn 38 in September...this was on July 13, 1985...

First concert I ever saw was The Cars in Philly at The Spectrum in August of 1979. I was 12 years old, and just about to go into Junior High School. My father took me to that concert because I listened to that first album 'non stop'. Fast forward 6 years later and Live Aid happens, and I'm 18 delivering pizzas in the Philly suburbs just before college. Live Aid was playing on my radio in my 1973 VW Beetle, and EVERY house that I delivered pizza to had Live Aid on their TV sets. I never missed a beat! It was a HOT day on many levels! Good times.

Aww Ben!! 😍 Love their music..

Orr was a blessed individual. That voice, those looks. I am not envious often, but sheesh this brother had it all.

"He had all the blessings except the length of years" Taken too young. Cancer sucks.

Benjamin Orr one of the most beautiful guys in rock and roll. Also, a great singer and kick ass bass player. Gone too soon.💝💖
