Biography - Ric Ocasek
Ric Ocasek (born Richard Otcasek on March 23, 1944, died September 15, 2019) was the vocalist and frontman for The Cars and a producer for several other groups, including Bad Brains, Suicide and Weezer.
Ocasek released his first solo album in 1982. Beatitude is a somewhat more experimental variation of The Cars' New Wave rock sound. A more synthesizer-heavy follow up, This Side Of Paradise, was released in 1986. A minor hit, "Emotion In Motion" accompanied the album.
