Tim McGraw Covers “The Cars”
Ric Ocasek, lead singer of the Cars, passed away on Sept 15th. Just weeks prior this passing, Tim McGraw covered one of their biggest hits, “Drive.” Check it out below…
The original Cars version was not actually sung by Ocasek on lead vocals, but that didn’t stop Tim from passing on his sympathies after news of the singer’s death.
Man…so saddened to hear about the passing of Ric Ocasek, lead singer of @thecarsband, and legendary producer to many. His music was inspirational to me. Our thoughts go out to all of his family, friends, and fans. pic.twitter.com/W1DxoNBKPG
