    Ben Orr RIP!

  • Ben was loved by those of us who came behind him in the Boston music scene. He was one of the very few who wanted to help. He is still my example of how to treat fellow musicians!

  • great remix of candy-o & a great tribute to Ben Orr my fave member of the Cars, RIP Ben

    Thank you..

    Ben you Rock!!!

  • Great remake of the original song,the different layers of sound are superb!,need more pics in the vid like the green eyed girl and the candy lips though.

  • Pretty rockin'...check out the Melvins cover as well.

  • Sorry,this can't compare to the original for me in any regard.Great song though.

  • I agree too..

  • wow!that was an amazing version, i think i like it better than the original.

  • Ben freaks me out!!

  • Candy-O has been one of my favorite Cars songs since I first heard it back in '79 and I have to say that this is a good remake of it. Nice work. Great Tribute.

  • I'm just happy he DID it! This is such a great and overlooked song...way ahead of its time.

  • Very good.

    The music rocks, but you needed a voice modulator to even come close to Orrs sound.

    But I still liked it.

  • frickn awesome!

  • @frankzito1 three years ? damn im getting old

  • Pretty tight brother :)

  • I made a note to find a download of your version, grea job. Powerful!

  • The music sounds great. pretty close and a bit better then the original. But the singers voice has got to go.

    Sorry bud. You can replace the music, but Ben Orrs voice is like no other.

  • fantastically executed! brilliant... just close enough to the original... really great sensibility there... a slight nietzsche resemblance there at points too!

  • Why, as a real a man, do I want to sleep with Ben?

  • because he is pretty.

  • Great! Love that song,,,,Check out the MYSPACE page for Benjamin Orr and Yahoo Photo dedication Pages with over 600 some rare and never before seen photos!
