The Cars

I can't watch that interview either!!! Just makes me want to cry to see him in that condition too!!! I sure do love that man and I heard that Ric did drive him out of the group!!!! I know how much Ric loved/loves Ben and can hear it in his songs. You got that dvd just before Ben died? Wow!!!! I just wish I could've met Ben before he passed!!! He is my idol!!

No, right after he died. It was released exactly 3 weeks after he passed away.

Willie, for me the part 6 you posted was actually part 5 again, so I wanted to be sure everybody got to see part 6 because it's very moving. Here it is.

Thanks for correcting that, PM. I didn't realized I had done that.

I just came across this in my Photobucket account and thought I would post it here. I made it for Willie a couple of years ago.

Wow! That picture is awesome! I recently discovered The Cars thanks to OLM13 and I love them too! Last week I was watching my favorite tv channel (Radio Capital TV, only music of the 60's, 70's and 80's) and I came across the official video of "Drive" ... I've heard that song for years but I didn't know it was sung by them! Then I decided to watch their last interview ... but I think I won't watch it again ... it's very sad to see Ben like that ...

Glad to hear you've discovered them. They are an awesome band and have had so many hits. Most of the bigger hits were sang by Benjamin, and Drive being the biggest. A little info on that official video--- the woman in it is Ric Ocasek's wife. They met while doing the video-she was 19 and he was 35. They married in 1989 and are still married & have 2 sons. And the video was directed by Timothy Hutton, the actor.

I think many people don't realize that Benjamin sang many of the hits and just assume it was all Ric. I know of a couple members here that didn't know that till I brought it to their attention.

For the record, my favorite album is Heartbeat City. As for favorite songs, the top 5 (all Benjamin lead vocals) never waver but after that, I love them all.

Candy-O
Stranger Eyes
Drive
It's Not The Night
Moving In Stereo (the bass in this is awesome)
