Crash Course: Benjamin Orr


Benjamin Orr was the bass player/singer for The Cars. He had a great voice and did a fine job holding down the rhythm section with Dave Robinson.   I think Ben was under appreciated for his contribution within The Cars. The Cars recently released a new album which is fantastic, and within the liner notes it says, "Ben, your spirit was with us on this one." The album is a wonderful tribute, but I only imagine what it would of been with Benjamin Orr playing and singing. Recommended songs: Drive, Just What I Needed, Let's Go, Cruiser


Benjamin Orr died on October 3, 2000 from pancreatic cancer.
