Drive was my least favourite Cars song. Loved My Best Friend's Girl, You Might Think, It's All Mixed Up, Just what I Needed, Magic, Lets Go, Its All I can Do, etc etc

The Cars was a huge part of growing up in the 70's and 80's thank you so much!!!

If you watch interviews of him, he seemed so humble and down to earth. The polar opposite of Ric Ocasek who was also insanely talented but always came off as being a bit too full of himself.

The Lace is one of my favorite albums, I play it at least a dozen times a month. I was only 8 yrs old when it was released, but definitely remember "Stay The Night." Something about the album calms my soul & feels as if it knew my life's story. It's my best friend on sleepless nights & many, many more. 💜 I adored Benjamin since I was 6, but truly love him for giving us this album. 💜

A True Rocker!👊🏾💖 GOD Bless you Benjamin!🙏🏾 Rest in Power✊🏾💖

He was so lovely and died way too young. I despise cancer.

I was 22 when I crossed the river to us from Mexico went to San Francisco in 84 ,I didn't know no English but as we all know the 80s music is profoundly famous for great bands ,the language barrier to me was no big deal when it comes to music,that's when I started to listen the cars,I remember I bough me a tape w the song drive ,maaannn that song still sounds like the first time when I was working on 4th and Bryant auto body had my stereo and Benjamin and company always working with me ,great times,so my buddy Benny I hope you are now performing in heaven along with Rick ,God bless you all

One of my favorite bands, The Cars. His voice was one of a kind. Thanks for the back history on Ben, he is deeply missed.

I loved his solo record. It was in the cassette playing of my car for a solid year and a half. That song “When you’re gone” was everything. Ben was a legend and should have received more acknowledgment. RIP Ben.

Benjamin so deserves his place in the Hall of Fame. His vocals alone are thrilling. 53, it's too damn young. 💜✨

Un magnífico grupo y en especial su voz . Ellos tienen un tema que marcó mi juventud. Y hoy día lo tengo como tono de llamada. Ya saben n cual? El más romántico ❤️😍

I just listened to Bye Bye Love extremely loud. I’ve done that fairly regularly since that song first crossed my path in ‘78, courtesy of an album station in Rockford, IL. That song, to me, represents everything that was right with the Cars. Wish it could’ve stayed that way. Thanks, Ben, for such a defining piece of music.

Out of the entire band .... I followed him the most , his Solo Album was constantly played in German restaurants in Germany , my girlfriend and her friends would go to this neighborhood restaurant eat ,then chill to " Stay the Night " it made the Army so much easier. My girl , our time together and good memories with Mr.Orr's The Lace Album on that restaurants Jukebox ..... Excellent Memories. Rest in Heaven Benjamin Orr , You made alot of young couples happy. ❤️🙏🏾

Great artist . So sad that he passed but his music will live on forever.

LET'S GO..... you rocked us all while you were here Ben... that song and JUST WHAT I NEEDED were anthems of my youth.

We all loved The Cars. They were each great and together they were perfect. RIP Ric RIP Ben ❤❤
