Often overlooked as a solo artist, Benjamin Orr (1947-2000) is best known for being one of the main vocalists, and the bassist for 80s new wave group The Cars.
Yes. His song STAY THE NIGHT (1986) is excellent!!

I got an "unofficial" copy of what would have been his 2nd album off ebay. Titled "Even Angels Fall", it is finished quality and the songs are all really good.

It would've been a worthy 2nd album.

Definitely a shame he didn't make it till the reunion. His voice is greatly missed in the Cars.

Ben Orr was so irresistibly good looking and so talented. The rock world lost a true legend the day he died. From everything I read, he was such a great guy too.

For anyone interested, there is a recent book out about Ben. I highly recommend it.

I love watching Ben during the The Cars' Live Aid performance.
