There were a lot of great singers and Roy Orbison is DEFINITELY one of if not the best! I like many a singer but Roy's voice gives me this special feeling that I just don't get from any other male singer. As for women singers it's Patsy Cline that does to me what Roy does. She was really something too! It was an absolute tragedy when she died in that plane crash on March fifth which happens to be my father's birthday in the year of my birth.
@DK2820 Roy was the only U.S. artist to top the british chart for nearly 2 years when the Beatles came in. He had 32 hits. Don Maclean sold 3.5 milion copies of roy's cover 'crying' in the uk alone. elvis never wrote a single song, was very good looking, charismatic and sexy - Roy did it without those attributes, just his voice & his songs.
@thfcyidz probably. I like music like pop and hip hop and lots of stuff (it would be a lot better without Justin Bieber in it) and I still think this is awesome. Im working on a biography project about Roy. I've been listing to his music almost the whole time ive been working on it.
It is very debatable whether Elvis Presley or Roy Orbison are the "KINGS of Rock'n Roll Music Classic". I personally like more "Roy Orbision" as the KING and Elvis Presley as the Greatest 1950s' Classic Rock Movie Film Star!!Each man is KING one in Music Videos, Roy Orbison and the other KING in Music Movie Productions is Elvis Presley!!
We love Elvis, too, but yes, he was right saying that Roy had an amazing voice, hope they are both singing their hearts out still, love them both always.
@yasrah both kngs of their own domains - while Elvis produced songs (certainly in the later days) for big commercial gain, Roy produced songs that meant something to him. For example, do you know he wrote this in a motel room after losing his wife in a car crash? His wife was called Claudette in case you didn't know, look up the song of the same name . . . . . . .
this song was written and recorded long before J.D. Souther did "You're only lonely", right? Both are great songs and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This video is posted on Facebook page called "Golden Tunes - Sound of Oldies", so if you have fb account and some time, check it, i guess you will like it :) Page is for everyone who like like warm cozy sound of evergreen music.
Like "RainbowHorror" this is the first Orbison song I heard & was a fan for life. His 5 octave voice is missed. Glad he left us so much music for his fans to enjoy over & over.
Loved Roy Orbison....This song has special meaning for me. If ever I want to cry . . .all I have to do is to kick back and listen to the words . . . tears will fall ever so softly.
Hey dude whats going on. Justin Bieber has so much more soul in his voice. In 40 years we will all be saying, gosh those were the days when Bieber sang.
@DK2820 Roy Orbison had a special voice, I don't remember what it was called, but he could hit notes Bieber can't, his songs had more melody, more meaning, and in forty years, we will still hear this and say "Damn I miss Roy Orbison..."
just saw a true fact me and Mr. Roy share the same bday wow... that is so cool cause we share the same bday as Mr William Shakespeare how cool is that.. just love his music..not trying to be anyone special..OH pretty woman
I've always had a fondness for Orbison, it's only seeing a doc. on his life recently that I realized what an amazing human being and truly amazing musician he was...In dreams I walk with you. Not to mention the unbelievable loss he suffered during his short life. What an angelic voice! True artist.
Would u agree this artist was the most successful singer songwriter of all time? Think about it he had successive hits over many decades and continued 2 have hits up till he died i drive all night was his last the same year he passed. How many singer songwriters can compare 2 his longevity of writing hit songs?
@TechnomancerMorhion Elvis was an amazing artist, one of the best. But his title "The Kind of Rock & Roll" is self-proclaimed and undeserved in my opinion. I can think of several others that are more deserving of the title.
@april84862 Apparently, Elvis thought so too and was of the opinion Orbison was the one man who could take all his fans away from him, that;s what I heard!
@april84862 Elvis did indeed say that Roy orbison had a fantastic singing voice, however I think both of them are fabulous singers, and different people will have different views of who was best,I just think we were lucky to have both of them to enjoy.
his songs are beautiful, mysterious, and his voice unforgettable. Does anyone else see how he could be a serial killer? I mean this with all do respect; I love roy orbison. Refer to Blue Velvet to see what i'm talking about. He is almost too perfect, too reserved, sunglasses and standing still, to be normal.

as there is always hope and love of life in his songs

when "The Beatles" toured UK with Roy Orbison in 1963, John Lennon said once
backstage when Orbison had just finished his "ENCORE"
"how the .... do you follow that"! He loved Orbison's voice and lyrics, and was very influenced by Orbison.
Orbison's life was so tragic in many ways, and his music refleted this as it should with any great artist, but it always had HOPE and intense beauty
