Miss him. Not only talented, but a class act. Never saw him acting like a fool or doing anything annoying. Been over 20 years since his passing and he is still missed.

Ben Orr certainly did do foolish things. Some of those Cars songs were promiscuous. And he married twice and had a son outside of marriage.

A beautiful man in talent, spirit and looks. So very missed. 🌹🎸♥️

Wonderful voice…. He could sing anything!!!!

Indeed the truth & some tough tunes that many others couldnt pull off.

…and he was handsome too❣️

Ben Orr was never in The Grass Roots!!! His group in Cleveland was The Grasshoppers!!!

Love the song he sang in 1985 at a benefit. "Drive" wow!

Did you mean at Live Aid 1985? The Cars did more than one song there, I think.

Rest in Peace Ben Orzechowski ❤

Title ? What's the mystery about Ben ? He was actually quite normal and grounded. And of courses incredibly talented.

Maybe grounded and kind are the mystery. Rare commodity for famous people.

Ben was in The Grasshoppers, not The Grassroots, a well known group...

Definitely a wonderful guy. I miss him terribly and was taken wayy to young. 😢

By the comments he was one cool cat. He always did exert that mellow gentleman aura. An impressive life force. RIP Benjamin

53, he was only a kid. RIP Ben and Rick ❤️

Талант Легенда! Великолепный! 👌😪😪🌹🌹🌹🌹

RIP Mr Orr. A Godfather of pre industrial metal. ✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺

Absolutely Stunning ❤❤

He was a private man.

So Sad, Ben You are missed!

Post cars Ben was so normal he would drive around after a snowstorm and plow out his friend’s driveways

Vou Te Amar Por Toda Minha Vida I LOVE YOU BENJAMIN ❤

I think he just wanted to be a regular guy.

Seeing interviews with Benjamin orr you can tell he’s a laid back guy with no ego

You must have been good friends. Nice to know he Had someone like you as a friend!

Two corrections (other than the Grasshoppers/Grassroots thing everyone else already mentioned): 1. He released two singles from his solo album, The Lace. The 2nd was Too Hot to Stop, but didn't break into the top 100. There is a music video for it, featuring a couple of Cars members, and it did make it to 25 on the Billboard Rock chart 2. The Cars didn't perform again after they broke up, but they did all meet for a final interview together a few months before he passed away for the release of The Cars DVD Musikladen

Loved Ben Orr’s beautiful singing voice & his on stage presence & charisma. He was a very private, kind person But where is the mystery ?

Benjamín otro no te olvidaremos!!!! R.i.p❤❤❤❤❤😢😞

Loved Benjamin Orr. He was the Cars

His mother was Rusyn not Russian. It is confusing. Not the same, though.

I remember crying when I heard he passed away. Lived in Boston at the time and got to record at their studio, Synchro Sound. I loved his talent, and what a beautiful voice…💙

So amazing and handsome Ben was...i miss you❤❤

He was awesome! So cool and talented !

RIP ANGEL 😇 Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia ❤❤❤

Orr was awesome but this video sucks because of the annoying robo-voice. A human voice is so much better.

Such Talent! Good Looking And Very Compassionate About His Work, Wonderful! Gone But Not Forgotten God Rest His Soul.I Simple Love That Song Drive. Never Get Tired Of Hearing It!🌹

I know Ric and Ben are sitting on a cloud in rock'n'roll heaven, sipping on Mai Tais, surrounded by hot chicks.

Great video

It is the 8th wonder of the world (to me, at least) that he didn’t sing lead on EVERY song The Cars made. Quite frankly I thought Ric Ocasik’s voice was abysmal. And Orr’s voice was conservatively 1,000 times better. I can remember saying out loud, hearing a Cars song for the first time where Ocasik was singing lead “Why?!?!?!? Why is not Orr singing lead?!?!?

Seems that is almost all we get now. We can not have nice things. Such as a human narrator. Sad.

RIP Ben

This video has several factual errors. The early band was The Grasshoppers, not Grassroots. And Ben did not perform with The Cars one last time in 2000 before he died, he participated in an interview with The Cars' former band members in Atlanta, then flew to Alaska to perform with Big People. That was his last public performance before he died. Just trying to set the record straight.

I’m not feeling a mysterious vibe...

NOT ONE mystery ...NOT ONE

Benjamin...one fine man!!❤

Ben was awesome

​@@johnnyxmusic It just feels wrong. I looked it up and it could be correct in this context, but it seems clumsy and certainly not common. The word I chose is a much better option. When I use the word, it's in more concrete terms, like the advent of the telephone. This is why words have slightly different meanings, so they can be used more appropriately.
