It's genuinely heartbreaking that he only had so little time to enjoy his newfound success. My mother was a friend of his towards the end and looked after his surviving children. I wish I could've known him.
Roy Orbison's song-writing talents didn't leave him, as the "reporter" said. Popular musical tastes changed. He wrote and recorded some of his best songs during his wilderness years. Then musical tastes changed again and he was once again on top. He was and is my all-time favorite singer, and he ended on a high note.
@@frankarce2039 He had a number of songs "in the can" at the time of his death. In 1989, the year or so after his death, a fourteen-year-old boy was surprised to hear that I had heard of Roy Orbison, whose songs in 1989 were very popular.. I surprised him again when I told him I had been enjoying Roy Orbison since I first heard "Only the Lonely" (May 1960), when I was ten years old. Since that day 63 years ago, Roy Orbison has always been my favorite singer.
When my dad bought a cassette tape for him to listen I sit beside my dad and we both were listening to this great song and now I'm 41 year old but still listening to Roy he amazing
Loved these songs, loved this singer, never met him, never saw him, didn’t have any TV,, didn’t even know what happened to him. Your songs will be cherished forever. RIP. I’m still alive.
When i die i want to meet him again and enjoy all the songs he wrote while in heaven. I was only 13 years old when he died. And i found out much later. He would have been 86 years old now. He's the one that kept coming back again and again.
The GREAT Roy Orbison . A legend in his time . R.I.P. Roy . Am sure you're still loved , and missed by millions of folks all over the world . Myself included .
He recorded an amazing song with the travelling willburys called your not alone anymore. It wasn't released as a single but look it up, his voice was amazing.
The reporter didn't have a clue about how Jeff Lynne became important in Roy's life. He didn't even mention him as being part of the Wilburys. Lynne revived Roy's career...Wrote and produced for Mr. Orbison.
Beautiful man, a terrific dad being a lovely husband that just happpened to sing even better than those laurels i stated and will always be missed as a true gifted gentleman and artist, not an actor.
was only three then but loved his next hit You Got It. Still do. I didn't realise as I was so young that he had died just before it hit the charts. That's really young 52. Bless him
Domine Wimbury . Roy. Orbison. me. acuerdo. mucho de ti aunque. era muy joven. cuado. fallecistes. el. mismo. dia. que. mi. Papa. nunca. te olvidare. besos. Elln
I was just getting into Roy and singing his songs in clubs and he died amazingly near to my musical Hero Robert Calvert from Hawkwind, i was devastated, both gone
He smoked 3 packs a day until 1977 when he had a triple bypass at 41 (that should tell you something), and was told to quit smoking and eating healthy food no more yo-yo dieting, due to his ulcer (since he was 24) take better care of himself as he had bad genetics he went down to 1 pack a day and kept on eating unhealthy food, when not touring and when he was touring he would starve himself on healthy low calorie food, to be in a large calorie deficit and he drank alot of sugar rich drinks to feel full of energy, he complained about chest pains to Johnny Cash weeks before he died, he was told to go to the ER and get his heart checked but refused and hired a personal trainer to get him in shape, what a fool didnt take his health seriously he had 3 kids FFS but it was his choice R.I.P (1936-1988).
You hear people slagging off several singers , but i've never heard anyone saying anything bad about Roy. Ithink that speaks volumes of how good he was .

Elvis himself claimed that he wished he could sing like Roy. The three biggest stars of the early 60's were Elvis, Ricky Nelson and Roy. Although his music was equal to or even at times surpassed Elvis and Ricky he never really had the adoration or following. Because he didn't have the good looks he didn't really appeal to the girls as much so he had to rely on his incredible voice to reach out and sell records. But Roy was more than a gifted singer. Also a highly skilled musician and a superb song writer.

His second round of fame began in 1985 or 1986 and ended in 1988
I’m 15 and been listening to him since I was like 4 when my dad would play it in the car all the time. Best voice I’ve ever heard.
And that why he's a legend..

God! I forgot how young Roy was when he passed. So, so sad! :-(
A great singer royorbison was one of the best voices ever
Who can dislike this beautiful video ? For me it`s just beautiful
Priceless memories. RIP, Roy.
12/5/20 OMG what a sad life. LOVE Roy~~~ Sad for his boys

Well, you could explain further
I am able to play the guitar solo in you got it on piano
Technically he did mention him as being part of the Wilburys...not in detail but he did say "among others".
Beautiful man, a terrific dad being a lovely husband that just happpened to sing even better than those laurels i stated and will always be missed as a true gifted gentleman and artist, not an actor.
My heart just broke when I heard of his death 💔🥀 One of the BEST!!
Ditto 😪
Epic is the only word I can think of to describe Mr.Orbison.
A voice we will never forget
He will surely be missed (

One of the best
Saville won’t be sadly missed
He was in my area in 1988 and visited a hobby shop that belonged to my neighbor here in Seekonk Ma, I didn’t know he passed that same year
Greatest singer to ever sing your legion lives on
I was just getting into Roy and singing his songs in clubs and he died amazingly near to my musical Hero Robert Calvert from Hawkwind, i was devastated, both gone
Roy wasn’t a pretty boy....he just could sing like no other. A very rare talent.

The big O...the golden O..Roy the Boy....yeah !!
He would be 82 today if he was alive ;(
the day the music died
No that was the 3rd of February 1959 after the plane crash that killed buddy holly, Ritchie valens and the big bopper
Em 1977 perdemos Elvis Presley.

Ewww jimmy saville, it's a shame he taints this video
The last 'thing' in the world that has any right to comment on Roy's tallent.
You should edit out the Jimmy Saville bit, Everytime I see him
30th November 1988
Roy Orbison's Una gran voz. Es espectacular.Lastima que no se escuchen sus canciones es la radio. Bueno si. Solo una.

52…. Crazy! He looked 75
It wouldn't be BBC in the 80s without Jimmy Saville showing up
Ich hab gedacht, er wäre bei einem Flugzeugabsturz gestorben, da habe ich mich etwas verrechnet. R.I.P.
The worst day of my life an angel welcomed in heaven

Is there a biopic about Roy?
Go away Savile! 🤬
I wonder what year he had open heart bypass ,he was the best ..
January 1978

YOU ALL BE IN MY HART ROY I LOST MY WSIFE AND 1 YEARE OLD SON AS WELL IN ONE FLASH DEAR GOD
My wife left me 1 month ago. The pain so bad
3:37 well, this is awkward...
Was Kinda "Enjoying" These Tributes ......Until Thast GHASTLY Savill Gave His "Tribute" ........:-)
Agreed, vile creature!
Yet the vile, said Roy "was one of nature's gentlemen"- as far removed from that vile as is possible!
ariba hombre.Leprosy is a terrible affliction to wish on another human being but seeing as how this creature was not human it is very apt indeed.Well said.
Everything Jimmy Saville wasn't!
Yes that was an unfortunate choice of interviewee at the end. Roy though did seem like a very kind man RIP.
Well I'm 52 now. Oh no.
nice bit of savil
