I was a little obsessed with George Jones as a teenager. I joined the Marines bc he was a former Marine. I got NO SHOW tattooed on my arm and I was drunk while stationed in Okinawa. I've read his book 5 times..... George Jones is the greatest singer ever. His voice was pure gold and we will never see another singer like that again. I got to see him twice in concert and I wish more youngsters will find his music so they can appreciate it too.
I last saw him perform at the Rutland fair in Vermont a few years before he passed and he still had it going on. I almost forgot to mention that Pam Tillis opened for him and after her show she stayed and signed autographs until the line was finished .
My mother and I saw him in concert and full on sobbed over "He stopped loving her today!" I've seen some insane concerts and never had a reaction like that. He made you feel his music
I almost forgot my sister who's a news anchor was supposed to interview him but he no showed twice. She got him on the 3rd try and said he was incredibly charming
I think you could add Hank Jr. fall from the mountain as part of tide changing. Because after that he really changed his style and approach to music. And with all the awards he’s won after that is proof.
@@acp865 I’m really surprised that it wasn’t mentioned. After that fall he had to learn so much over again and it changed his voice along with his look and out look on his music. And by doing that it changed country music.
What was so "shocking" about Charlie Rich's burning of an award card? It was obviously a light-hearted joke to get laughs at the expense of his friend, John Denver. It was just a joke--tame by today's standards. Why do we have to make a scandal out of everything these days? I grew up on Country Music, and I did not even know about (or remember) this incident until it was put on RUclips. It was just a JOKE!!!
Whose gonna fill their shoes... whose gonna walk that tall... Whose gonna play the Opry, And the Wabash Cannon Ball... (My #1 favorite George Jones song).
Was stringbean selling it in the joint too??? Any o. s person knows why men wore pants low like that !! Ur selling bootie, check it out with some old timers ,
Many of these moments I had in my memory but had long forgotten about. It was great watching this, it’s not just ‘rock and roll’ that has that bad boy image 😂. The best memory I have is dancing on stage with Chuck Berry at the Edinburgh playhouse! That’s my claim to fame and still pinch myself every time I think about it. Thanks, this was a great watch❤
Texas is notorious for violating all your rights not just civil rights. They do it and get by with it and there’s nothing you can do about it. Doesn’t matter how far up you go they are protected.
Very informative video. Thank you. This senior remembers most of this. As the video clearly states though some have had issues, those issues did not alter the fact that these were people of incredible talent and will always be sorely missed. So glad that though she is struggling with health issues, Loretta is still with us. May all the greats we have lost, rest in peace.
@@erichoward1974 each to his own! George sang about life & love. Mostly lost love but you felt every word! He was one of the best! Gerorge Strait rules the roost now! Great singer & so damn good looking! Never will anyone top this cowboy! All the greats are born & raised Texas!
I use to be a bartender in this dive bar years ago . This man who came in daily who was well in his 70's. I don't know how Randy Travis came up , maybe a song was playing. He talked about his distain for him. I questioned why. He said that Randy use to bag groceries for him in the small grocery store that he owned and Randy stole from him.
@Chris Bennett I don't care about his past either , I love his music. I thought it was funny how just he didn't stop at Randy Travis worked for me when he was young.
Johnny Cash was rock and roll through and through, in attitude that is, his music will always get me through life, & I challenge anyone not to get the feels when they hear his version of Hurt, I tear up every time. And his gospel stuff is amazing, I'm not even religious and I love it
Randy Travis is one of my absolute favorites. I seriously LOVED so many of his songs. I was devastated a few yrs ago when he had his massive stroke. It may have taken him out of the spotlight, but his music will be forever & ever amen. George Jones was a talented performer, but he obviously had his demons
It's definitely country! Outlaw county was just good ol county back then! They were Rockstars before Rockstars did there thing, these legends led the way for all genres!
I hear you , George was something else. Growing up on the Tennessee,/ Alabama state line , in the late 60s early 70s these ole eyes saw it all, tried to anyway. Raised in ethridge tenn n the tri-cities of Alabama.I will always love our country Men and women that i was raised on. Thanks y'all.vickie Laws
Thank you for mentioned the Stringbean incident. It's sad to think his name and character falling to the wayside of country music progress, I think he should've been inducted into the hall of fame years ago I doubt that will ever happen as so many in the industry don't know who he is anymore.
Thank you for this information it was so nice to hear about all of the country music singers God bless them all I would like to hear more about this thank you
I remember when Olivia Newton-John won Female Vocalist of the Year in 1974, beating out the likes of Loretta Lynn, Anne Murray, Dolly Parton, and Tanya Tucker. I can't remember who announced that she won but I keep thinking maybe it was Flatt or Scruggs or maybe Bill Monroe, but anyway he pronounced her name as Ol-a-vee'-a Newton.... (and then after a lengthy pause he added) John. It was his way of protesting her win because he was in effect saying that she was such an unknown in the country music world that he didn't even recognize her name. He actually may NOT have recognized her name. He was not the only entertainer who was less than thrilled that she won and many fans were not real thrilled either. The odd thing is that one reason they were protesting so much was that she was born in England and raised in Australia and did not fit their idea of a "country" girl, and yet Anne Murray, who they apparently accepted wholeheartedly, was also not a country girl because she was born and raised in Canada. Like I said, very odd.
Johnny Cash said they banned him for life. Many years later they changed their minds. But they did warn me not to do it again.☺️ Johnny and Loretta have no problem telling it to you straight.
love watching shocking moments countdowns like this!! was just watching the vh1 shocking moments countdown show and they mentioned both johnny cash and george jones!!
I agree, and I like the story about he and grandpa Jones as neighbors were across the valley from each other used to wake each other up hollering, coffee ready and what not, they were good friends..
OMG that double murder was horrible!! I was an avid Hee Haww fan, but not till the 70s. I do remember Grandpa Jones very well. Roy Clark & Buck Owens was a staple in my house every Saturday night
Two glasses of wine and an Ambian does not make you blow double over the limit. I’m curious if Randy Travis’ stroke was a direct result of that night...He was once on top of the world. He still has many devoted fans, including me.
Merle did impersonations of his contemporaries better than anyone. Close your eyes and they were right there with the Hag. EXCELLENT ENTERTAINER, FINE SINGER.
I love everyone you mentioned, true greats, Charlie Pride would be someone to mention, he didn't look like what you heard on the radio in the 70's, he was great. PS. I like Loretta Lynn song choices 👌
You done an amazing job on this video. The video clips and the way you tell about each incident all went very well together. The videos I've watched so far from Country Cast have all been that way. Congratulations on the Vols necklace Upchurch gave you too... Keep On Keepin On and keep the country cast videos coming
he lied...he said he had 1 drink and his blood alcohol level was 0.21. AS someone that has lost a loved one to a pos drunk driver, Travis got off light.
I will always love Leonard Skinner ♥. W/Ronnie Vasant & His amazing band. Pure Country Rock & Roll. It drew you to your feet. And was some of the most Powerful music, I have ever heard !!!!!
I would like to see a documentary made on a country musician named Morris Taylor. He had a country western variety show that was the longest lasting locally produced show in television history. The Morris Taylor show on KHSL Channel 12 in Chico California. The show started in 1956 and ran till 1995, and ran in reruns till 1997. My grandfather took me to a live taping of the show some time in the late 1950s or early 1960s. He also had a radio show on KHSL-AM which was later called KPAY, which is still running to this day. Where I have lived for the past 20-some years behind a restaurant / bar with a stage turns out to be where Morris Taylor got his start performing live. He passed on January 2018 at the age of 93.
The year after Patsy’s plane crash, which also killed Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas, Gentlemen Jim Reeves died in a plane crash on July 31 1964 in Brentwood TN!
I'll never forget hearing about waylon blowing up the venue he had just played cause he didn't get paid! It was an old barn and he just happened to have some dynamite in his bus!
Hopefully you can do the next video with Mindy McCready in it, I don't know the whole story but I feel bad for the way she went out she was a really good singer, or maybe Jim Reeves for that matter, can talk about Jamie Johnson, or Tracy Lawrence run in with the law, or they always bad boy David Allan coe 😎
@@CountryCast when George Jones thought that he was a duck and old man and they would fight with each other, I have heard George and Nancy talk about this, plus the lawn mower stuff with George. Tracy Lawrence's troubles, David Allan Coe having a tiger on his bus! Heard Johnny Van Zandt talking about that
Jerry Lee was the coldest s.o.b to ever sit in front of a piano. George Jones and Randy Travis are the greatest country singers of all time and they pretty much could/can do no wrong 🔥🔥🔥
Nice to see Jerry Lee in the country hall of fame. But after being one of the most dominant country artists of the 70s and 80s I'm surprised it damn took em so long!
In their younger days Johnny Cash and George Jones could have had an entire list of shocking events all to themselves, what with DUIs and drug busts and what not. And don't forget those Williams boys, Senior and Junior, or Tammy Wynette claiming she was kidnapped, or Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell getting kicked out of a hotel for fighting with each other while drunk (or high, or whatever).
One moment that isn't remembered as well as these shown here is the night Jeannie Seely performed at the Grand Ole Opry in a mini-skirt. It was the late 1960s and VERY shocking for the time because back then most female country singers still dressed in a similar style to what they'd been wearing in the '50s. So many people involved with the Opry got their noses a bit out of joint seeing a pretty young blonde haired woman showing that much leg that night.
I absolutely agree with you 100%. I don't get emotional when stars pass away, but when I heard about John Denver's death, I cried. My brother & I received JD's greatest hits album for Christmas in the late 70s (along with Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life) and we wore that album out. To this day, if a John Denver song comes on the radio, and my brother's in the car with me, we sing every word.
When they said that Randy Travis took an Ambien and it said off a crazy reaction I truly believe that, I know someone that was taking Ambien and they went plumb crazy one night I couldn't believe that person the things that that person done was unbelievable so yes I believe Ambien can make you do anything almost, I was wondering how Randy became naked with no clothes but after hearing he had taken the Ambien now I no longer Wonder
Same. When I was a teenager my ‘ole buddies mom used to get up randomly in the middle of the night and cook us food. Took us to Walmart once at like 2am…..we got ice cream. She took one every night. lol
@@swampdonkey4919 hey you're so right A friend of mine that was on that Ambien done some crazy stuff and had no clue that she done it, one night she got up and picked up a teddy bear that belong to her granddaughter building front of a mirror and started cussing it I'm telling you it was one scary sight the things I've seen there's no way I would touch that stuff
@@rodneystephens8859 I was prescribed the stuff in my early 20s. My dad, stepmother, and college dorm mates have a lot of stories about me, let me tell you. But at least nobody got hurt.
My sister in law got up took a bath & shaved one leg after taking Ambien. Next day she was so confused how her leg got shaved. On the show Rescue Me a Fireman went shopping & insulted people after taking one. It was really funny.
I am so proud of you when I saw that innocent you did I was not very happy but you changed your life around I'm always been a big fan of your music when I was a little kid I never stopped listening to I heard what what happened to you I always will keep you in my stay strong my friend always keep you posted your biggest fan Christobal Manriquez
They are people first with problems like everyone else. Some of the greatest singers ever especially compared to what we have now. Quit listening to country music when it became NOT country.
My mother and father split up when I was 4 years old. Mom lived in California & dad moved to San Antonio Texas. Around a year later he was coming to California to take us three kids back to Texas for 3 months. Summer vacation. Dad took us to see a country band while we were still here in California. Napa Ca. Dad paid and we walked in. No music yet they were just throwing out some sawdust so our feet could move to the music. The lead guitar player Carl Perkins the singer and Another guitar player was “Johnny Cash” That was at the “Dream Bowl in Napa California in 1956. Oh June Carter stood off to Johnnys right side and sang up a storm with Carl an Johnny
Jerry Lee’s Country music was right up their with the best of the genre. His 68- 73 period was top tier. His Sun Records era featured some great Country music ‘You Win Again’ ‘Fools Like Me’ ‘I Can’t Seem To Say Goodbye’ to name but few. Jerry always interpreted Hank Williams catalog with individuality and mastery.
I was in Germany in the early 80s. Jerry was in a package tour. Boxcar Willy was on just before the Killer. The crowd was crazy for him. Jerry didn’t get the reaction that Willy got. He got snarky and kicked his piano bench into the audience before stalking offstage. Got himself booed for that.
I don't think Charlie Rich wasn't protesting John Denver getting the award, because of the fact that he was reaching for his lighter before he actual read the winner on the card. (Of course, he could've possibly seen the name when it first fell out of the envelope, but I doubt it.)
Hank Williams Sr took my mom home from a bar when she was 14. Her bro had hooked up and left her there alone. She said he was really nice. She kissed him on the cheek and got out.
George Jones might have had a drinking problem but he had a awesome career. Gorge and Tammy. There both in Heaven now singing together and talking about old times.They both were awesome.
George Jones and Randy Travis are too of my favorite Country singers today. Still listen to them every weekend. The two have amazing voices and George is dearly missed and Randy yr in my thoughts.🇨🇦🌹🌹
I'm a huge Rock and Roll fan. although I was raised originally in a Country music household. my brother and I were Johnny Cash junkies. we had all of his music and watched every episode of the Johnny Cash show. but when I heard the Beatles "I Want to Hold your Hand" I was hooked. but I have never forgotten the music that I originally was brought up on. probably because of the outlaw aspect of it. some of the musicians in this video were well known Rock and Roll musicians in their beginnings. such as Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny cash, though their association with Sun records. and others who were not shown in this video. such as Roy Oribson, Carl Perkins, and Conway Twitty. I have been asked many times why I like both genres of music. one reason is because I like a lot of genres of music. and the other is because the two genres are not that much different. both genres are based off of another genre of music the Blues. the only aspect of Country music that I don't particularly care for. is the tear in my beer aspect which can be a little bit depressing. an additional note; Roy Orbison was the greatest singer of all time. he and Johnny Cash were very good friends. and they very much respected each other. and Roy Orbison went though many very tough times in his life. and the Cash family helped him though them. and he is still very much loved and respected by many people in the music business. and by his many many fans.

No. He will not. He cheated on his wife with a married woman. Horrible individual. Both of them she had two young daughters.
Amazing voice I agree.

Everyone of us is human, We make mistakes. Believe me I really have made some doozies, We all deserve A second chance.
He’s a wonderful person. I visited with him in Reno, NV
In 2009 & he was just a regular guy with no frills.
Is he gay? I wonder
Some of the greatest entertainer's that the world has ever known. Love em.
Thank God for compassion Nobody's perfect.
AA is there for a reason.
I can remember the first time I met someone from AA that didn't have a southern drawl, I was like, what the hell?
Johnny was a rock star till he died and still is they all were like they say rock and roll ain't noise pollution rock and roll will never die
Very informative video. Thank you.

The String Bean murder was terrible and sad, most said, there really wasn’t nothing he wouldn’t do for others, all they had to do was ask..
I agree, and I like the story about he and grandpa Jones as neighbors were across the valley from each other used to wake each other up hollering, coffee ready and what not, they were good friends..
Stringbean should have kept his mouth shut about his financial business and he should have moved to a safer community. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

"Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud........All my roudy friends have rowdyed on down ..."
We all have.....
Three guesses who made that statement
Two glasses of wine and an Ambian does not make you blow double over the limit. I’m curious if Randy Travis’ stroke was a direct result of that night...He was once on top of the world. He still has many devoted fans, including me.

That was so sad about Stringbean and his wife.
I live in the town where stringbean is from we have a bluegrass festival every June round his birthday
Stringbean was not a very smart man. His ignorance cost him his life. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I'll never forget hearing about waylon blowing up the venue he had just played cause he didn't get paid! It was an old barn and he just happened to have some dynamite in his bus!
She ate per usual, she never disappoints. Their collabs are the best
1:55 I knew his grandson Cole in 05-06 and he carried that lighter everyday. Cole is fantastic guitar player/musician himself
These were the years when all the clubs had great music like this
One of the great things about being HUMAN IS WE MAKE MISTAKES AND WE LEARN FROM THEM....
Very well done!!!! Really like your speaking voice & the material you covered!!! Thank you very much…👍✋🙂❤️
Thank you for your support! Much appreciated! 🙏
Hopefully you can do the next video with Mindy McCready in it, I don't know the whole story but I feel bad for the way she went out she was a really good singer, or maybe Jim Reeves for that matter, can talk about Jamie Johnson, or Tracy Lawrence run in with the law, or they always bad boy David Allan coe 😎
We all have bad days, amen...
George just has Country written all over his face.
Johnny paycheck shot a guy in the face for a hat!!!
I don’t think it was particularly for the hat, it was bc he was about to clobber him with a beer bottle!!
Part documents the incident
Johnny paycheck was my causing some of his songs was just ok to me
@@wilmaperry4045 as a
Yup
I really like this video, you have to do a part 2 of this!

@@CountryCast when George Jones thought that he was a duck and old man and they would fight with each other, I have heard George and Nancy talk about this, plus the lawn mower stuff with George. Tracy Lawrence's troubles, David Allan Coe having a tiger on his bus! Heard Johnny Van Zandt talking about that
Jerry Lee was the coldest s.o.b to ever sit in front of a piano. George Jones and Randy Travis are the greatest country singers of all time and they pretty much could/can do no wrong 🔥🔥🔥
These vids are sheer BRILLIANCE❣️Absolutely gobsmacking info😺
I was on duty when a bolo came across the radio, the two murders were caught and we never really found out why they did it
Oh wow! Thanks for your service!
Nice to see Jerry Lee in the country hall of fame. But after being one of the most dominant country artists of the 70s and 80s I'm surprised it damn took em so long!
am i trippin or isn’t jerry lee like the worst human being ever not named hitler or putin
What made Milwaukee famous...
These guys are all hardcore onstage and in real life no wonder gg allin loved country music lol
Charlie Rich was out there pulling a "Kanye West" move 2 years before Kanye was even born. 😂
A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.
In their younger days Johnny Cash and George Jones could have had an entire list of shocking events all to themselves, what with DUIs and drug busts and what not. And don't forget those Williams boys, Senior and Junior, or Tammy Wynette claiming she was kidnapped, or Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell getting kicked out of a hotel for fighting with each other while drunk (or high, or whatever).
Tammy wynette lied about her kidnap attempt. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
One moment that isn't remembered as well as these shown here is the night Jeannie Seely performed at the Grand Ole Opry in a mini-skirt. It was the late 1960s and VERY shocking for the time because back then most female country singers still dressed in a similar style to what they'd been wearing in the '50s. So many people involved with the Opry got their noses a bit out of joint seeing a pretty young blonde haired woman showing that much leg that night.
Learned things in this video Thank you!
Once was a thought inside my head
'Fore I'd reach 30 I'd be dead
Now somehow on and on I go
I keep on rollin' with the flow
George Jones was my favorite. He was the best
Jones the best to ever do it thanks for the memories rip jones we love and miss u
Chris, we want more songs like thiiiiis!
John Denver had such a beautiful voice and every song was great to this day, and always!
I absolutely agree with you 100%. I don't get emotional when stars pass away, but when I heard about John Denver's death, I cried. My brother & I received JD's greatest hits album for Christmas in the late 70s (along with Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life) and we wore that album out. To this day, if a John Denver song comes on the radio, and my brother's in the car with me, we sing every word.
Thank you for this info. Very interesting. ❤️👍🇺🇸
They should include the kick George gives to the cameraman in a video game, the George Jones kick
When they said that Randy Travis took an Ambien and it said off a crazy reaction I truly believe that, I know someone that was taking Ambien and they went plumb crazy one night I couldn't believe that person the things that that person done was unbelievable so yes I believe Ambien can make you do anything almost, I was wondering how Randy became naked with no clothes but after hearing he had taken the Ambien now I no longer Wonder
Same. When I was a teenager my ‘ole buddies mom used to get up randomly in the middle of the night and cook us food. Took us to Walmart once at like 2am…..we got ice cream. She took one every night. lol
yeah, that's scary stuff. you could walk into traffic or burn down the house and not even realize what you're doing.
@@swampdonkey4919 hey you're so right A friend of mine that was on that Ambien done some crazy stuff and had no clue that she done it, one night she got up and picked up a teddy bear that belong to her granddaughter building front of a mirror and started cussing it I'm telling you it was one scary sight the things I've seen there's no way I would touch that stuff
@@rodneystephens8859 I was prescribed the stuff in my early 20s. My dad, stepmother, and college dorm mates have a lot of stories about me, let me tell you. But at least nobody got hurt.
My sister in law got up took a bath & shaved one leg after taking Ambien. Next day she was so confused how her leg got shaved. On the show Rescue Me a Fireman went shopping & insulted people after taking one. It was really funny.
I am so proud of you when I saw that innocent you did I was not very happy but you changed your life around I'm always been a big fan of your music when I was a little kid I never stopped listening to I heard what what happened to you I always will keep you in my stay strong my friend always keep you posted your biggest fan Christobal Manriquez
What a talented person he is and was when this happened sitting there with no britches on..
It doesn't get any darker than Gary Stewart's life story
He Stopped Loving Her Today. Might make a good country song.
@@jray5363 : Did he really?
I’ve always thought his story would make a good movie.
@@stephenhopkins9541 I couldn't agree more.
@@daylaneedels-whitworth1575 he's my favorite
They are people first with problems like everyone else. Some of the greatest singers ever especially compared to what we have now. Quit listening to country music when it became NOT country.
My mother and father split up when I was 4 years old. Mom lived in California & dad moved to San Antonio Texas. Around a year later he was coming to California to take us three kids back to Texas for 3 months. Summer vacation.
Dad took us to see a country band while we were still here in California. Napa Ca.
Dad paid and we walked in. No music yet they were just throwing out some sawdust so our feet could move to the music. The lead guitar player Carl Perkins the singer and Another guitar player was “Johnny Cash”
That was at the “Dream Bowl in Napa California in 1956.
Oh June Carter stood off to Johnnys right side and sang up a storm with Carl an Johnny
No show was the greatest RIP GEORGE JONES 🤘R.H.E.C
String bean was the man
George Jones,the best and always will be
Jerry Lee’s Country music was right up their with the best of the genre. His 68- 73 period was top tier. His Sun Records era featured some great Country music ‘You Win Again’ ‘Fools Like Me’ ‘I Can’t Seem To Say Goodbye’ to name but few. Jerry always interpreted Hank Williams catalog with individuality and mastery.
And, I LOVE Loretta Lynn!!!
I was in Germany in the early 80s.
Jerry was in a package tour.
Boxcar Willy was on just before the Killer. The crowd was crazy for him. Jerry didn’t get the reaction that Willy got. He got snarky and kicked his piano bench into the audience before stalking offstage.
Got himself booed for that.
Love the clip of George Jones.. especially after watching Tales from the Tour Bud lol
I don't think Charlie Rich wasn't protesting John Denver getting the award, because of the fact that he was reaching for his lighter before he actual read the winner on the card. (Of course, he could've possibly seen the name when it first fell out of the envelope, but I doubt it.)
I never thought of John Denver as a country and western artist. When I think of him I remember his duets with Plácido Domingo and Julio Iglesias.
Hank Williams Sr took my mom home from a bar when she was 14. Her bro had hooked up and left her there alone. She said he was really nice. She kissed him on the cheek and got out.
Cool story!
Kissed his “Cheek”🤣🤣🤣
Something for her to tell her grandchildren!
Wow!
George Jones might have had a drinking problem but he had a awesome career. Gorge and Tammy. There both in Heaven now singing together and talking about old times.They both were awesome.
George Jones and Randy Travis are too of my favorite Country singers today. Still listen to them every weekend. The two have amazing voices and George is dearly missed and Randy yr in my thoughts.🇨🇦🌹🌹
My years began in 1948 , so this music ment the world to us veterans of the ugly Vietnam War & the real rock tunes , back then !!
I'm a huge Rock and Roll fan. although I was raised originally in a Country music household. my brother and I were Johnny Cash junkies. we had all of his music and watched every episode of the Johnny Cash show. but when I heard the Beatles "I Want to Hold your Hand" I was hooked. but I have never forgotten the music that I originally was brought up on. probably because of the outlaw aspect of it. some of the musicians in this video were well known Rock and Roll musicians in their beginnings. such as Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny cash, though their association with Sun records. and others who were not shown in this video. such as Roy Oribson, Carl Perkins, and Conway Twitty. I have been asked many times why I like both genres of music. one reason is because I like a lot of genres of music. and the other is because the two genres are not that much different. both genres are based off of another genre of music the Blues. the only aspect of Country music that I don't particularly care for. is the tear in my beer aspect which can be a little bit depressing.
an additional note; Roy Orbison was the greatest singer of all time. he and Johnny Cash were very good friends. and they very much respected each other. and Roy Orbison went though many very tough times in his life. and the Cash family helped him though them. and he is still very much loved and respected by many people in the music business. and by his many many fans.
