NEW YORK - Ric Ocasek, frontman and lead singer of new wave innovator The Cars, was found dead on Sunday , police said.
The New York Police Department said it received a call at about 4pm"for an unconscious male at East 19th Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene", and the body was identified as Ocasek.Under Ocasek's leadership, The Cars brought quirky electronic effects of new wave to classically structured pop songs, generating a string of hits such as You Might Think, Shake It Up, and Drive in the 1980s.
After breaking up later in the decade, the group reunited in 2011 after Ocasek wrote new songs he believed would sound best if played with his old bandmates, USA Today said.
