Bummer. I used to see him all the time walking around in the Village in his leather and leopard skin. Always liked The Cars.

Big fan of the band! I saw all of those music videos at the time (yeah...I'm old) RIP Rick.

I had no idea he did not sing all of the cars songs. listening now I hear the difference in voice.
"drive" for example.

 

[Apollo]

Ric always said when he needed the vocal to be good he let Ben do it.

Ben Orr sadly passed away in oct of 2000

I had no idea he did not sing all of the cars songs. listening now I hear the difference in voice.
"drive" for example.

They were a great band to see live which I did many times.

The band was pretty much over when Ben passed away now that Ric is gone The Cars are truely no more.....

I was the same way for a long time. Their voices blended so well together, that I thought Ric had sung just about everything. I knew he didn't sing 'Drive', because of the video.

Condolences to Ric's family.

Great band!

Great times!

Great music!

Even today... most of their song are still as strong as they were when they were released.

Most of the music today is not built to last... its temporary at best. Filler.. not what will be remembered in 10-years... (boy do I sound like an old grumpy fart or what?) LOL

 

[Axlotl]

Have had this stuck in my head since I first heard the news.
My favorite Cars tune. The guitar is just rockabilly perfection.
