Benjamin Orr and The Cars
When Benjamin Orr, the co-founder, co-lead singer, and bassist for the platinum-selling rock band The Cars, found himself adrift and without a band within a decade of the debut album, veteran music journalist Joe Milliken drew together interviews with over 120 family members, friends, bandmates, and music associates from Orr's life, as well as many unpublished and never-before-seen photos from private collections, to reveal an intimate portrait of one of classic rock's greatest talents. Orr, often considered the band's heartthrob, possessed an incredible voice, diverse musical talent, and rare stage presence, all balanced by an enigmatic personality and a relentless determination to reach rock stardom. Selling over 30 million albums worldwide with fifteen Billboard Top 40 hits, The Cars certainly achieved success.
From Orr's first performances as a house-band musician for the TV show UpBeat through his creation of The Cars with Ric Ocasek to Orr's eventual rebirth with the supergroup Big People, this definitive account of Orr's life is a rollercoaster ride that sheds new light on the history of The Cars. Orr is no longer able to rock with The Cars, but the music he made with them continues to attract new generations of fans. Coinciding with the band's 2018 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this first-ever biography of Benjamin Orr immortalizes his legacy as a deeply kind-hearted and exceptionally talented musician who would stop at nothing to live his rock and roll dream.
As for the quote, "When Ben got out of the hospital he said, 'When I fall down and can't pick myself up we'll know it's over. Until then, we rock!'" - Jeff Carlisi, it provides a poignant glimpse into Orr's determination and resilience, even in the face of adversity. The quote suggests that Orr was unwilling to give up on his rock and roll aspirations, even as he faced challenges that could have derailed his career. His unwavering commitment to his craft and his refusal to be defined by his setbacks are a testament to his enduring spirit and his lasting impact on the music industry.
