This great song is a bit of forgotten 80's that deserves a mention. Benjamin Orr was the lead singer & bassist on most of The Cars early work which made them popular. He passed away in 2000.

I wasn't "today years old" when I found this out, but it wasn't that long ago. Their voices are district once you know, but they are similar enough that you and I didn't catch on. Three that I would have sworn were Ric Ocasek but were actually Orr are "Bye Bye Love", "Drive", and "Just What I Needed".

Yeah, I definitely thought those three songs were Ric Ocasek. I’ll definitely be listening a lot closer from now on.
