Band: THE CARS
Who: Celebrated American
rockers from Boston, MA

Active: 1976–1988, 2010–2011, 2018 / 7 studio LPs

Many people only know them for their heavy-hearted single
Drive (more than 420 million streams on Spotify) that touched
millions of people’s hearts when it was played, between the live
performances, on the massive Live Aid event-broadcast in 1985.

After releasing their successful single MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL (from
their self-titled debut LP) on 7″ vinyl in October 1978 the band re-issued
the very same single as the first official picture disc ever in music history
the next month, on 11 November, 46 years ago today.

“Oh, she’s my best friend’s girl
Well, she’s my best friend’s girl, girl
But she used to be mine”
