Yeah, that was my jam, as well.

First song that I remember which had the audio go from

one ear to other...I’m sure there’s a technical name for it...

ASMR videos are famous for it.

Soo strange, I was just listening to this album on Amazon Prime Music two nights ago, don't ask me why......

Oh, no.

First Eddie Money, now Ric.

I can't take this, losing both these great singers.

Love Ric and his music.

Benjamin Orr, co-founder of the Cars also was gone way before his time, love the track Drive.........

Met wife Paulina during making of Drive.

A great cultural loss in the music world.

The Cars' music had a profound influence on fans and fellow artists.

The wonderful melodies and creative lyrics will live forever.

I always loved going to the village at Manhattan. There was a gourmet grocery store called Balducci's I would often shop at with my sister back in the seventies/eighties.

One time I went in on my own while my sister waited outside, I just wanted to buy water.  A very tall slim dark haired guy was walking toward me and he knew I recognized him by the look on my face, it was Ric Ocasek. I sensed from his look he didn't want me to make a scene, not that I would have so I smiled and nodded and he smiled back and nodded in return.  Of course I was excited and thrilled and as he walked by I couldn't wait to tell  my sister and  didn't even get my water!  

I never forgot that day and how excited I felt.  I am so sorry  to hear Ric has passed  and know his music will live on and The Cars have made their mark in music history.  Thanks for the memory, Ric, may you be at peace with God.

So sad!

He was amazing.

I had no idea he was 75.

Oh, No.  Godspeed Ric.  Another fiber plucked from my heart.  The music lives on.

@SydneyH  agreed. Loved Drive.  Did you ever see the movie Ladyhawke?  I was struck by the thought that if Etienne and Isabeau had a son he would look like Ben.
