DEAD AT 75. File photo taken on February 6, 2015 shows musician Ric Ocasek attending the 25th anniversary MusiCares 2015 Person Of The Year Gala at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles. Ocasek, frontman and lead singer of New Wave innovators The Cars, was found dead on September 15, 2019, police said.
They were among the early regulars on MTV, winning the"Video of the Year" award for"You Might Think" at the first Video Music Awards in 1984. They moved to Boston in the early 1970s, founding The Cars in 1976 after adding Elliot Easton on guitar, Greg Hawkes on keyboards and David Robinson on drums. The group broke up in the late 1980s, however, and Ocasek began releasing solo work as well as working as a record executive and producing for a number of bands including Weezer and No Doubt.
The group's polished hooks remained underpinned by moody, disaffected lyrics that gave their pop rock a jagged twist, and into his later years, Ocasek remained firmly committed to that vision.
