Sad to learn of Rick Ocasek passing over the weekend. The Cars were a big part
of my childhood. My sister (8 years older) was a child of the '80s and listened to all of the pop music that the decade had to offer. She also loved The Cars and would often play their tapes in the morning getting ready for school. Though they had some huge hits in the '80s like Magic, Drive, You Might Think and Shake it Up, the songs I remember the most are the ones that were lesser-known hits.

Since Your Gone, My best Friends Girlfriend, Just What I Needed, Good Times Roll, Hello Again and so many more were so good. Lots of great memories.

Sad to realize that I am old enough now that a lot of these artists are passing away.

RIP Rick Ocasek, thanks for sharing your talent and voice with the world.

Still one of my favorites:
