Ric Ocasek

Ric Ocasek was the leader of the highly successful late 70’s sensation the Cars. But, when the Cars disbanded in the mid-80’s after 6 albums, Ocasek turned to production, and has enjoyed success ever since. In 1994, he produced Weezer’s self-titled “Weezer,” as well as successful albums by D Generation and other bands.
