Elvis once said of Roy Orbison that he thought Roy Orbison had the best singing voice he had ever heard.
Roy wrote " Only The Lonely " for Elvis but, Elvis said; Roy there's no way I can this song like you can, you need to record this song so, he did! He wouldn't let anyone else have the song! He and Elvis were close friend's! Roy was one of the GREATS, his fan's call him Big O. He was Elvis' favorite singer. They ask Elvis once what it felt like to be the GREATEST singer in the world, he said; IDK you need to ask Roy Orbison!
Roy was NOT blind, but he did need his glasses to see. While on tour in the U.K. he had left his regular glasses on a plane but still had his dark glasses with him. When he got off the plane everyone in England was taking pictures of him with the dark glasses and he decided to keep wearing them. His sons wrote a book about it, " The Authorized Roy Orbison."
He also kept wearing them because he had near terminal stage fright. For a long time he barely moved on stage because of it. On of the greatest voices ever.
I couldn't remember if he was blind or not. Thanks
There are also interviews with Roy on RUclips, explaining the story. A short, audio only, one is titled "Orbison, Roy TV Interview", posted on the Marty Sinclair channel (wish I could post the link, but RUclips seems to be deleting some posts with links). He left his clear glasses on the plane in AL, had to fly to NY the next day, on to Europe, to tour with the Beatles. The tour was huge, with photos seen all over the world, so as Roy said, "I was sort of stuck. Instant Image." I've never heard him (or anyone who knew him) give any other reason (such as stage fright) for wearing them.
I do believe he was "legally blind".
@@HemlockRidge Roy was not legally blind (nor "light sensitive", as some people post). He did multiple interviews over the years saying so. In one, titled; Interview Roy Orbison on “Good Morning Britain”, posted Dec. 11, 1987, he addresses it twice. At 3:30 he tells the story of the sunglasses. The interviewer says “There’s nothing wrong with your eyes, though” he replies “I need corrective lenses, but they don’t need to be dark.” At 6:36 he was again asked if there was anything wrong with his eyes. He said “no, I see quite well. I am a bit far sighted.” Roy just needed regular old corrective lenses, like millions of people.
Roy had one of the most tragic lives you will ever hear of.
"In 1966 tragedy struck when (wife) Claudette Orbison was killed in a motorcycle accident, with Roy riding just ahead of her when it happened. He found it difficult to write any more songs, but he kept touring. Two years later, a fire destroyed his house in Hendersonville, Tennessee, killing two of his three children. From that point on, he refused to attend funerals." Rolling Stone
I met Claudette's father, a few years ago. I don't know how we got on the subject of Roy Orbison, but he told me about the song about his daughter.
I remember that. It was the year after my family moved to Hendersonville. It was tragic.
Wow, I had no idea.
@@RayfordRaySiegel Can you share with us what Claudette's Dad shared with you about Claudett and Roy?
When you're ready for more from Roy Orbison, check out "Only The Lonely", "Crying", "Running Scared", "In Dreams", "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)", and "It's Over" among many others.
Definitely Only the Lonely and Running Scared before the others.
I am right there with you! Love those songs!
So many fabulous songs!
And as one of the Traveling Wilburys.
You know Roy well
Roy Orbison sure was great... Please react to his song "Only the Lonely" so you could hear his wide vocal range... it's truly amazing
Agree 100%! I TRY to sing that one- but I'm old!
Yes!
ROY ORBISON "CRYING",, "ONLY THE LONELY",, "BLUE BAYOU" & "YOU GOT IT"..ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR CLASSICS.
You can also hear Roy Orbison in the Travelling Wilburys with Petty, Harrison, Dylan and ELO's Jeff Lynne. I think Roy was a Texan.
Dang straight he is from Texas
Fun Fact: at one point Roy, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis were all part of tiny little Sun Records in Memphis. There is an album called “The Million Dollar Quartet” which was Johnny, Jerry Lee, Carl, and Elvis. They all were in the studio at the same time (by coincidence, only Carl was supposed to be recording that day) and began singing and playing around, being silly together. It’s just an incredible look into the past and we only have it because Sam Phillips was smart enough to realize how special it was to have those four in studio together and recorded them.
Thanks for info
@@ericmcavoy1108 There's pictures of them at the piano, Elvis was playing, the rest were standing behind him and to the side!
Not blind! One of the most iconic voices ever. Hit after hit after hit. Dive deep into his catalog, you won't be sorry.
Roy initially started wearing sunglasses onstage because the stage lights were so bright. Fun fact: When Elvis was just starting to get big in the 50s, you could book him to play a show for $100 a night. A concert promoter in Texas hired him to play five different cities in Texas in one week for $500. During that week, in two different cities, two unknown teenagers named Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly saw Elvis and decided that's what they wanted to do with their lives. So we owe Elvis, and that promoter, an incredible wealth of music. Roy, sadly, died at 52 when he was just starting to make a comeback with the MTV generation. No one sang about loneliness like Roy. Check out "Crying", "Blue Bayou", "In Dreams" or "Only The Lonely". Roy was a rock icon.
There are interview with Roy on RUclips explaining the glasses. One (audio only) is titled "Orbison, Roy TV Interview" on the Marty Sinclair channel (wish I could put in the link, but RUclips seems to be deleting some posts with links). In 1963, he'd chartered a private plane, for a concert in AL. It was bright on the plane. He put his prescription sunglasses on, forgot his clear ones on the plane & had to do the concert in sunglasses. The next day, he flew to NY/London, for a major tour with the Beatles. It was heavily photographed & the photos seen worldwide. By the time the tour was over, everyone recognized him with sunglasses. He said “I was sort of stuck, Instant Image.”
Orbison is a bonafide legend !
He wasn't blind. They became his trademark.
" People, even now, think Roy Orbison was blind.
He wasn't! He began wearing his trademark dark glasses in 1963, just before a British tour with The Beatles.
Speaking years later about his dark glasses and clothes, Orbison said: "I wasn't trying to be weird, you know? I didn't have a manager who told me to dress or how to present myself or anything. But the image developed of a man of mystery and a quiet man in black somewhat of a recluse, although I never was, really."

Notice how the band is dressed. Up until the mid 1960s bands were always well dressed but then times began to change. Sonny and Cher were the first act I seen where they were not dressed up and then Paul Revere and the Raiders started wearing costumes. At some point the bands just started wearing street clothes. I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s and this was my music.
Roy has such an emotive voice!
Elvis got the better looks, but Roy got the better voice and his good friend Elvis said as much. Roy Orbison has been my mom's favourite since she was a teenager and this first came out. She's 70, now.
One of the musicians that Roy collaborated with as a member of the Traveling Wilburys was Jeff Lynne, the lead singer and driving force of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). They have a massive rabbit hole worth of songs to uncover. You can start with "Roll Over Beethoven" "Evil Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky" and you'll get a ton of more suggestions along the way.
You can hear the influence The Beatles had on ELO. Jeff Lynne was also in the Tribute to George Harrison / While My Guitar Gently Weeps video with Tom Petty and Prince(completely worthy guitar solo). 3/5ths of the Traveling Wilburys = Harrison, Lynne, Petty. Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison complete the Wilbury.
He wore thick corrective lenses so he could see but dark glasses when performing! Orbison's songs do not disappoint!
Roy is SO missed! He was a legend.
Many many great songs
"Only the Lonely"
"Crying"
"It's Over"
And "You Got It"
To name a very few.
Roy Orbison was great. Van Halen even did a cover of this song on their 1982 album Diver Down.
Roy Had One Of Those Iconic Voices That Once You Heard It,, You Would NEVER Forget It
...R.I.P. Roy..Thanks For All You Gave Us..
Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten. 🙏 ❤
Check out his song CRYING. Great vocals on that song.
Also check out K.D. Lang duet with Roy Orbison on "Crying." KD Lang by herself is pretty incredible too.
I heard Paul McCartney when he was doing an interview with Howard Stern on Stern's show on Sirius/XM network. He other Beatles met Roy Orbison 1st time when Roy asked by Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein. If he can tour with the Beatles? Roy didn't know about the Beatles, but they knew him because he was one of greatest their idols. Roy was definitely one of the pioneers in Rock History. Someone mentioned about Million Dollar Quartet, and years later, Roy joined another Million Dollars Band called The Traveling Wilburys. The Traveling Wilburys were consisted of Roy Orbison, ELO's Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Beatles' George Harrison and Bob Dylan.
Roy Orbison was the operatic rocker. His soaring voice was totally unique and gorgeous. This song was released in 1964. While touring with The Beatles in '63 he left his glasses on the plane and wore his sunglasses instead. It became his new look forever on. Elvis said Roy was the world's best singer. Sadly, died at 52.
You should check out Roy Orbison and K.D. Lang singing "Crying"
Amazing, both their voices blend into one and give you goosebumps!
OMG! Love Roy Orbison! Fabulous singer and musician!
Roy had so many big hits that have mostly been forgotten except for this one which really is a shame. Try his songs "Only The Lonely", "Leah", "Uptown", "Blue Bayou", "Workin' For The Man", "Blue Angel", "Pretty Paper", "Ooby Dooby" and so many others. He wasn't blind at all. He wore the dark glasses as he was very shy in person and it was his coping mechanism...like a security blanket.
Genial “The Big O”
Essa música toca na alma !
They called him the Big O. So successful and so well known, from my parents era to mine. Check out, Crying, In dreams. He was also one of the members of The Traveling Wilburys with other legends, Tom Petty, George Harrison (The Beatles), Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne (ELO). Check out, End of the line. Sadly, Roy passed away in 1988, before the video was shot
When I heard him do this song originally, I liked it as much as Elvis' music. Yeah, he was great!
This song was such a huge hit. Everybody old or young knew this song. Roy was excellent.
That's a Masterpiece.
He wrote this song in 15 minutes in a Restaurant.
After Roy started with Elvis, Johnny, Carl and Jerry Lee, in 1961 he was touring in England, his opening act, The Beatles. The Beatles were gobsmacked. Roy, Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Everly brothers, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard were all their heroes. Roy was not blind, but had to wear glasses, and for many years just had normal horned rims, He picked up some sun glasses to go with his black outfits, and the image stuck. Kinda like Angus young's school boy outfit for ACDC.
Check out Roy in the TRAVELING WILBURYS where he joins George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynde in a super group for an album.
He passed just as they finished around 1987 88.
Around 1964. I was about 13. I had my transistor radio playing late at night in bed, and Pretty Woman came on the radio.First time I had heard it. wow! And it has been one of my favourites ever since. As has Roy.
There are so many excellent songs from this man, my own favourite being 'Blue Bayou'
Happy you like some our country music . I'm 73 yrs. Now , grew up on that and other country music here in Alberta Canada. Thanks
Roy Orbinson is from Texas.
One of the greatest voices to come out of the '50's-'60's. Singing with the angels now.
Crying is my favorite by Roy
I was born in January 1965. I was a baby when this released.
He wasn't blind. It was kind of signature for him to wear his sun glasses when performing.
The signature dark glasses were an accidental marketing tool. While on tour with The Beatles in 1963, he left his regular glasses on the plane. So that night, he had to wear his thick prescription sunglasses onstage.
"Everyone was at the show, and they took these pictures. And they flashed around the world, and we became very popular after that," Orbison told the BBC. "And so I was stuck with the dark glasses. It was embarrassing at the time."
Listen to Roy Orbison Only The Lonely, Running Scared, Blue Bayou and In Dreams

❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ I thought the same thing about Roy the first time I saw him, but no, he is not blind. ⭐️ He is an amazing artist with MANY hits for you to discover … and I can’t wait!!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ With love to you both always, ~ Laura 💞
The best music was produced from the mid 1950's to the mid 1960s. You could understand the lyrics, the singers could actually carry a tune and there was no autotune....just God given talent. Roy Orbison was from Vernon, Texas. He passed away at the age of 52. RIP Roy.
He was just really nearsighted He could see but not without his glasses. I'm so happy another generation is appreciating his amazing talents. Miss Him.
The drummer, pianist & guitarist were from Elvis's band. Roy and Elvis were good friends.
Someone adked Elivis "What's it like to have the greatest voice" Elvis said "You need to adk Roy Orbison thar. Great reaction
One of the all time greatest voices on rock history! I hope you explore Roy Orbison a lot.
Roy looked cool as **** in this video . The sunglasses guitar slung around his shoulder .......and that commanding voice.....
Roy had a tragic life and it ended way too soon but he left us so much beautiful music. Rest in peace.
Roy wrote some of the seminal early rock hits and had a operatic voice of three plus octaves. A true pioneer. you knew within the first vocal line that it was the one and only Roy Orbison. He wore the black sunglasses to match his trademark black suit and black hair, but he was not blind, it was mainly to try and hide his stage fright!
Roy had an exceptional voice "Running Scared" and "Shadarobah" are two of my personal favorites. He started on the Sun records label. Same as Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash ,and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Crying is another great song of Roy's
When I was very young I loved to hear him sing but his songs were so sad. It made me so happy to hear at the end of this song that she walked back to him.
I hope it never changes .. Man love women, women love man and everything that goes with it....
Your reactions to Roy's purr were absolutely adorable LOL
One of the greatest rock vocalists and the sunglasses because it's cool he is the original proto goth
One of the greatest voices ever! Loved Him in concert!
Roy Orbison has the best Rock voice ever. A legend 🎤🎸
One of the greatest voices of all time. Look him up on Wikipedia. Roy had some serious hardships.
You should eventually listen to a lesser known Wilbury’s song, Not Alone Anymore, but there are many other well-known songs by Orbison to enjoy, Crying, being my favorite.
Orbison had talent that was highly regarded by top tier musicians in rock and pop industry. You will enjoy delving into his music.
As others said, Crying and Only the Lonely are Roy Orbison must listen to. As well as other songs but especially those two.
You Got It,By Roy O!
It's Another Of Masterpiece
Roy is rock's greatest (Texas) crooner.
This song was in the movie Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It is worth watching. A 90s version of Cinderella lol. This is so iconic...love his voice.
More Roy Orbison! God love you, Harlem woman, and many many more!
Thanks for playing Roy💖 He was a very big star, check out his other tunes 🎸!!
Roy was born and raised in Texas.
Roy was very shy and suffered from stage fright.....
Love you 2 and your channel!!
Roy Orbison was blind ! He’s a legend !! Crying, only the lonely, so many more
Roy Orbison song; Only the Lonely, Dreaming, Crying, Over You, Mean Woman Blues.

Roy Orbison is definitely one of my favorite singers! I'm ready for your reactions to the other songs by him! Only The Lonely, Crying, Blue Angel, In Dreams, You Got It,......so many❤😄
One of the All time Greats. song's from 1964
Theres a clip fromThe Dukes of Hazard, with Roy Orbison in the bar,singing Pretty Woman.
When he does the "rrrrow", he looks at Daisy Duke! Its cute.
I grew up listening to Roy Orbison music with all the albums that my mom had at the time.. I thank and if I remember right that Roy Orbison was born in Texas. He's a friend of Elvis. He's always wear a dark shade glasses on stage as well as his wife and him riding a motorcycle and even at the time when his wife had a motorcycle accident.. He stop singing for a while because of the accident but when he came back he dedicated a song that sing but I don't remember exactly name of the song as of now... Plus I don't know if anybody knows or remember that there is a song called (The fastest guitar alive) is also a movie that he made and he was in the movie
I saw a concert film on PBS in black and white that was great acoustically and had guys like Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello among others in the band. Well worth a couple hours of one's life.
Hey Shawn and Mel, Im Ashley and Im a big fan of yalls channel and I love yalls love connection. You can see how much you love and adore one another. Yall remind me of my hubby Justin and I. My husband and I have been together for 19 years now. But we were just friends and co workers for the first two years when we met on the job and I was 16 years old back in early 2003. He was almost 7 years older than me and one of my bosses. I had already gotten my GED and had been in homeschooling and I was working full time 40+ hours a week same schedule as him. Most people thought I was 21 years old because I looked older than my age, I had always dressed more like a college student than a teenager. I grew up so fast and had alot of responsibility on my shoulders and I didn't act like other teens. I tried to date guys my age but they were so silly and immature and not always respectful. My mother gave me the blessing to date guys sometimes 4 years older than me cause they treated me a thousand times better than some silly 16 year old boy. I was not looking for some spring fancy or summer romance. I was always ready to commit to the right man and be a wife. I didn't have any wild oats to sow. But I wanted to find a man who was a good gentleman and shared my same faith and was respectful to me and we shared a lot in common and were each other's best friend. And I ended up finding everything and more in my guy best friend and coworker who happened to be one of my bosses. He had been divorced for 3 years because his wife of one year cheated on him and got pregnant by another man's baby. You could sort of say that he had trust issues and just never dated and only focused on work. When I started working there he felt an instant connection with me. We had so much in common including our faith and how much we loved or heavenly Father. We had the same taste in music, movies and the literature. And I come to think of him as a great best friend. Now I did date some during this time. And I even got engaged when I was 17. And just weeks before I was supposed to say I do, I found out my fiance was cheating on me. I was hurt obviously but I think I wasn't as hurt as I should have been. I had cared for the man and loved him in my own way but I wasn't exactly head over heels in love with him. And he knew that and was okay with that. I thought that our love would grow more strongly over time. I didn't expect to ever experience the kind of love that could compare to a fairy tale. But months after my engagement was cut off I did start to see that I was starting to have growing feelings for my best friend. And I just never allowed them to grow because I was always very faithful to any boyfriend I had in the past. I would not allow myself to entertain thoughts of anyone else when I was with someone because I'm very much against cheating. I would not ever want anyone to do that to me and I would not want to do that to someone either. But fast forward several months my feelings for my best friend at work started to grow even stronger. And before I knew it I had fallen in love with him. But I never dared to let him know because I knew he had been hurt in the past and I knew that he had not dated since his divorce 5 years ago. Little did I know he had fallen in love with me and been in love with me for one year already. And he was patiently waiting for me to turn 18 and tell me that he had feelings for me. It was always the perfect gentleman and he never let me know that he was in love with me. I had no idea that when I was engaged back then that he was in love with me. But he didn't say anything because we didn't think that I could ever feel the same way and then I got engaged and he didn't want to take away any chance I had for happiness. But when I became single he had hope that there would possibly be a chance in the future that he would get to tell me how he fell. But it required patience on his part because I was still 17 and liked a few more months turning 18. But sometimes he would join me and my mother for lunch on our break when she was in town and it didn't take long for her to realize that we were secretly in love but not say anything about it. My mother absolutely adored Justin and thought he was an amazing man and could tell that he really did love me more than just a friend. So she pulled him aside one day and had a heart to heart conversation with him, And she asked him if he had feelings for me and he was honest with her and told her that he was in love with me but he respected my age and didn't have any problem with waiting for me to turn 18. My mother said that I've practically been an adult since I was 14 years old. I've taken care of her And also my grandmother during times when their health was failing them. I never really got into any trouble And my teen years because I was so mature and obedient to my mother who I was very close to. So that meant she gave me a lot more freedom than what other teenagers got because I never once broke her trust. But even then I did not take for granted any freedom she gave me. My mother knew that she had raised me to be streetwise and have good judgment. And she trusted me and understood that I needed a more mature partner and someone who would treat me with respect and be good to me. And she could see Justin being that man. And all my mother wanted was for me to be happy. And so she gave Justin her blessing for him to ask me out. After all I was fixing to turn 18 years old in less than 2 months. And so he did ask me out the next day and we've been together ever since February of 2005. And we got married in December 2006 when I was 19 years old and he was 26. Our age difference never bothered us once. And everyone in our family and at work was overjoyed for us being together because they could see we were perfectly matched for one another. And I count myself truly blessed to have found such a good man who happened to be my best friend for 2 years prior, so by the time we started to date we were already in a serious committed relationship because both of us have been in love with one another for some time now. He didn't try to rush me into marriage but he made his intentions clear that he did want to marry me but he wanted to give me time and let me decide when I was ready. So that's what we did.
I had my mother and my grandmother walked me down aisle on our wedding day, since they were the ones who raised me. They didn't mind me being a teenage bride. They themselves married when they were 17 years old and their husbands was in their twenties also. And here in the south, I had several friends who were already married that got married when they were 17 years old and some of their husbands were around 4 years older than them. So it's pretty common you could say.
Now I'm 37 years old and my husband is 44 and we are still very much in love. We bring out the best in one another and we encourage one another to have a deeper intimate relationship with God as well. And it has made our marriage stronger. I always wanted to have a good God-fearing man who knew how to treat women respectfully. And I could not ask for a better husband. We have always been faithful, honest and loyal to one another.
He is one of the funniest guys I know. And he is playful. Not to mention handsome. He has blue eyes and blonde hair and is 6'3 tall and people say he looks like Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys.
He also knows how much I love this song and how much I love the movie Pretty Woman. Also have a little bit of an obsession with vampires so the growling has definitely been introduced in our marriage for sure you could say. I think the GROWL worked for women back then just as much as it works for some women now. I tell some guys that they should definitely practice it and try it on their special lady. If she's anything like me she will get a kick out of it.
It always makes me blush and get tickled and feel flattered whenever my hubby growls and says, "Come here baby".
It's not on a every day basis but it does happen occasionally.
This December is our 18 the wedding anniversary. I certainly expect some growling and loving for sure! 😅😂
We certainly have no problem keeping the passion in our marriage burning for one another.
Roy wasn’t blind. Just a fashion choice. Unique voice
I cried listening to this, because my Dad & i would listen to 60's music nearly every day when I lived with my parents, this summer, to help my mom take care of my Dad. Dad had been diagnosed with Brain Cancer. I'd dance, holding my Dad's hand, to his favorites, even when he was unable to leave his bed. My Dad passed away in September. Even tho it made me cry~ I thank you for reacting to Roy!!
Thank you,
~Jenn
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of you dad. He sounds like he was a really special man. May God bless you and give you comfort to you in this your time of sorrow.
@@johnniekilgore9413 Thank you so very much!💙 I pray the Lord watches over you and your family! 💙
HUGE hit from the 60's
Roy was great. Crying, Only the Lonely, Claudette
Roy was'nt blind, those shades became his trade mark by accident! Keep going down this rabbit hole, you won't regret it I promise! Here are just some of his great hits:
ONLY THE LONELY
RUNNING SCARED
DROVE ALL NIGHT
BLUE BAYOU
CALIFORNA BLUE
YOU GOT IT
And so many more! Roy was from Hicks Texas!
He was from Texas and not blind. He wore the glasses because he was shy and they looked cool 😎 Great voice and songs.
Roy accidentally left his clear glasses on the plane when he was starting a tour in England and all he had was his sunglasses. He just ended up always wearing them because he liked the look. They became part of his trademark. You should check out his work in The Traveling Wilburys and his last hit, You Got It. He died way too young, at 52. There is a story, don't know if it is true or not, that Elvis was asked what it was like to have the best voice in rock and roll. He said, I don't know, ask Roy Orbison.
Pretty Woman went number one in 7 countries at the same time. It was a world wide hit!! Even ousting the Beatles at the time.
From Wikipedia "According to The Authorized Roy Orbison, the family moved again to Wink, Texas in 1946.[7] Orbison described life in Wink as "football, oil fields, oil, grease, and sand"[8] and expressed relief that he was able to leave the desolate town.[a][10] All the Orbison children had poor eyesight; Roy used thick corrective lenses from an early age. He was self-conscious about his appearance and began dyeing his nearly-white hair black when he was still young."
Listen to You got it and I drove all night more great Roy’s songs
Orbison also sang the song that played over the end credits of The Hateful Eight (There Won't be many coming home), an anti-war song.
Plenty of great songs from this guy!
I sang this song with a busker at Heathrow airport. What fun!
The song- 1964; the movie- 1990 written by Roy orbison
No he can see, he has a lot of great songs, one of the all time greats
Check out his grandson who was 3 at the time singing and playing guitar with Godfather Joe Walsh (*from the Eagles ) doing Rocky Mountain Way. After leaving his thick eyeglasses on an airplane in 1963, while on tour with the Beatles, Orbison was forced to wear his prescription Wayfarer sunglasses on stage and found that he preferred them. ... His first wife died in a motorcycle accident, his 2 eldest sons died in a house fire.
Roy had a unmatched vocal voice, when you here something of Roy's you knew it was him, nobody had a voice like him! React to " Running Scared " OMG! You want be sorry!
Roy Orbison must listen- “Crying”
Funny to watch these two......hearing Orbison for the first time it seems....shit, has it been THAT friggin long??.
The best voice in pop music bar none
Classic, for all time!!
so so love the drummer on the record it was the late Buddy Harmon
