I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight's mystery artists were actually partners for almost ten years before they finally formed the band that would catapult them to stardom.  Think you know who they are or the name of their famous band??

According to Rolling Stone Magazine it was Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr who had been partners for nearly a decade before creating ‘The Cars’ which would catapult them to stardom.
The story 'The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll' tells: Ocasek took up the guitar at 10 and immediately began to write songs; he started working as a musician after he'd dropped out of Antioch College and Bowling Green State University. He met Orr —who as a teenager had fronted the house band on a TV rock show, Upbeat —in Cleveland, where Orr worked in a studio as a producer and session musician. After working together in various bands in Cleveland, New York City, Woodstock, and Ann Arbor, they settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the late '70s.
As part of a folk trio, Milkwood, they released an album on Paramount in 1972, with Hawkes as session keyboardist. Ocasek and Orr continued to form bands, while Hawkes worked with Martin Mull and the Boston group Orphan, and wrote music with progressive rockers Happy the Man. In 1974 Easton joined Cap'n Swing, Ocasek and Orr's band at the time, which became popular in Boston but broke up when no recording contract was forthcoming. Hawkes rejoined, and Robinson, formerly of Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, DMZ, and L.A.'s the Pop, completed the Cars in late 1976. And the rest is history.
