Description:
Roy Orbison remains as one of rock's true legendary figures. The remarkable canon of work recorded by Orbison is tied not to any one decade but virtually to the entire lifespan of rock 'n roll. What he lacked in photogenic looks, Orbison made up for in spades with his quavering operatic voice and melodramatic narratives of unrequited love and yearning.
"In 1975, when I went in to the studio to make Born to Run, I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector.
But, most of all, I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison." - Bruce Springsteen

ooohyouarenice Roy Orbison was one of the few genuine geniuses in music who was all substance and had a unique style which many have attempted to emulate but just fail miserably, poor imitations... I just can't imagine holding faith in music if Roy Orbison hadn't existed.. I wish I had been born earlier, just to see Roy perform
