The Cars lead singer Ric Ocasek dead at 75

Ric Ocasek, best known as the founder and frontman of the iconic new wave band The Cars, has died, the New York Police Department confirmed Sunday.

He was found unresponsive at his East 19th Street residence in Manhattan on Sunday, according to reports from the NYPD. The NYPD didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ocasek released seven studio albums with the Cars between 1978 and 2011, beginning with their hit self-titled album featuring the singles "My Best Friend's Girl" and "Good Times Roll."

Ocasek also released several solo albums, including Beatitude (1982), Fireball Zone (1990), Troublizing (1997) and Nexterday (2005). He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on April 14, 2018.

    Let the good times roll
    Let them knock you around
    Let the good times roll
    Let them make you a clown
    Let them leave you up in the air
    Let them brush your rock and roll hair
    Let the good times roll
    Let the good times roll
    Let the good times roll
    Let the stories be told
    They can say what they want
    Let the photos be old
    Let them show what they want
    Let them leave you up in the air
    Let them brush your rock and roll hair
    Let the good times roll
    Let the good times roll-oll
    Won't you let the good times roll
    Good times roll
    If the illusion is real
    Let them give you a ride
    If they got thunder appeal
    Let them be on your side
    Let them leave you up in the air
    Let them brush your rock and roll hair
    Let the good times roll
    Won't you let the good times roll-oll
    Let theā€¦
