My Dad loved Roy Orbison and played his records frequently. That man had a 10 octave range. My Dad has been gone for 6 years now and every time I hear one of Roy’s songs I remember my Dad and I listening together. I hope you met Roy in Heaven Dad.
Hey Hirdy...I don't know a thing about Roy, noticed sunglasses...was he blind? My oldest son Jason Roberson performs INSIDE, with sunshades on! Was wondering...this man is magical sounding to me!
No Lucy Roy wasn't blind, he wore prescribed glasses and once left them on a plane and was forced to use his prescribed sunglasses for a show. It worked so well he decided to perform in them permanently. Elvis Presley described Roy's as 'the greatest singer in the world and said that he had a perfect voice. Roy was also a great composer and wrote most of the songs he recorded. He suffered much tragedy in his life, his first wife was killed in a motorbike accident and he lost two young sons in a house fire. His second wife Barbara worked hard to maintain his legacy but sadly died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 61, 23 years to the day that Roy died of a hear attack at the age of 51. Incidentally he and I were both born on April 23, useless information that last bit I know, but I kind of like it!
Wow hirdy...I sure could see the sadness even with shades! I remember on stage especially in 70' Elvis bringing his name up a few times and the way he did it, you could tell he had fondness and repect for him! I just didn't know who he was! Could you tell me a few of Roy's songs he did?
Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, Blue Angel (My favourite), You Got It. there were heaps more. Give him a listen, if you have the good taste to like The King, you will enjoy Roy's work.
the 2 dislikes came from the producers of the x factor and american idol they know that if Roy was alive today they would be out of buisness because no one can sing like Roy Orbison could
Thanks for sharing- I saw him live in Louisville,Ky. He's one of the few performers that sound the same in person or on record! He and Elvis were in a class of their own. He left the world and us way too soon.
Elvis'S Best singer was ROY ORBISON......He Also Died way 2 young, In the 80's of A heat Attack & he was not on Any DRUGS...He did the best songs...R.I.P. ROY
Heard him today on the Golden Oldies Jukebox Show broadcast from Akron, Ohio. Such a effortless vocalist. I remember dancing to this at Sock Hops at Cleveland South High School.
Good job Larry from Lorrie Dovich cab driver from New Westminster Royal City Taxi 1985 I talked to you about doing Roy Orbison good for you Merry Christmas to you and your family
I love this song and roy is great elvis once called royorbison the greatest singer in the world the beetles opened for roy and roy talked the beetles into comming to america we miss you roy takecare all
One of the best ballads of all time, the ending blows it away. Tender yet strong in its security . check out the phrase at 2:10. Love it , one of the best vocal phrases sung in music... ever.

My dad did too and he's also no longer with us.
I had the honor of hearing Roy Orbison live in 1986, he still takes my breath away.... have mercy!
You're a lucky person
@@thewolf81lobo86 Indeed I was, he is an absolute favorite of mine! I was so sad that he passed shortly afterwards.
Elvis was right, Roy Orbison is the Best singer in the world.
The man had voice like a musical instrument.

How can one human being make so many beautiful sounds?
I love his style ... his voice and those glasses that was Roy. Timeless legend!
Roy was a real special man and we all were the less for his passing...RIP Roy...
But the world is a far better place for his having been here, although so briefly.
You are so right...
An amazing voice,bless him,he left us far far to early,but OMG did he leave us some fabulous musical memories.
