Benjamin Orr was a co-founder, co-lead singer, and bassist for the platinum-selling rock band The Cars. He was often considered the band's heartthrob, possessing an incredible voice, diverse musical talent, and rare stage presence. The Cars sold over 30 million albums worldwide and had fifteen Billboard Top 40 hits. However, within a decade of the debut album, Orr found himself adrift and without a band.
Veteran music journalist Joe Milliken has compiled an intimate portrait of Orr's life, including interviews with over 120 family members, friends, bandmates, and music associates, as well as unpublished and never-before-seen photos from private collections. The book sheds new light on the history of The Cars and reveals the rollercoaster ride that Orr's life took.
Orr's first performances as a house-band musician for the TV show UpBeat through his creation of The Cars with Ric Ocasek to his eventual rebirth with the supergroup Big People are all covered in the book. It immortalizes his legacy as a deeply kind-hearted and exceptionally talented musician who would stop at nothing to live his rock and roll dream.
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 musician who would stop at nothing to live his rock and roll dream.
