Album of the Day

Following the massive success of The Cars' multi-Platinum debut, the quintet teamed up once again with Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker to record CANDY-O. The album was released in the summer of 1979 and became a huge hit, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Album Chart and eventually earning quadruple-Platinum certification in the U.S. alone. The 11 tracks include such favorites as “It's All I Can Do,” “Dangerous Type” and “Let's Go,” which was the band's first Top 15 hit on the Billboard singles chart. It was David Robinson who asked legendary pin-up artist Alberto Vargas to create the collection’s cover art, and we’ll give CANDY-O a spin now to wish the Cars drummer a happy 75th birthday.
