[jsshotter3]

[trq54]

7 people r fucked up'd R.I.P. Roy on ur 75th B day

[iluvmyphilippina]

I have this cd-bx and it is just great! I listen to it every day. I saw Roy also a few times in concert, like for example at august 5 1982 in Austin, also his last concert in Akron New York at december 4 1988, and I even had a little personally meeting with him in Antwerp November 4 1986 in Elisabeth theater where he did also a concert which was in fact his come back and not the black and white show of 1987. In Antwerp he signed for me a few records of him . I never forget that

[JoeAverage000]

I like Elvis more personally, but it all depends on what you like. orison was great though.

[1bridlington]

Roys voice....no effort at all...R.I.P. Roy.

[beastyclarke]

There  are some bits on the whole of this vid that I havent seen before so THX so much for it..Glenda-Marie xxx

[10995]

I remember hearing a version of Roy Orbisons Oh, Pretty Woman on this box set that sounded a lot like his performance at the Diamond Career awards, But i cant find any info on that song anywhere.

[ninederbys]

The Most outstanding singer ever !!

[jockslugger]

You are so remembered dude!!! No way, no time, no where, will we ever hear such an amazing voice and talent for song!!!!!!! RIP ROY

[moosey62]

We certainly remember you mate

[gerryhiles]

I am such a lucky fucker.

I grew during the era.

I at least used to have three octaves and could easily sing Roy in a retro group, but could never have composed his music.

All I ever did was copy.

[hejhejhejhej287]

Roy didn't write his songs on his own.

[theplanetking]

@hejhejhejhej287

Elvis wrote 1 song..maybe 2..but so what ?

[hejhejhejhej287]

What does it have to do with me or this video?

[viirtju]

@hejhejhejhej287 You don`t know what are you writing about. Roy co-write several his songs, but he allso write may somgs in his own....In Dreams...Falling... here just acouple for examble, do you know these ones??? Still very stupid argument from you!!!

[beastyclarke]

@gerryhiles I was a singer too Gerry BUT could never have had 1/2 the voice.Love him still so much. Glenda-Marie xx

[gerryhiles]

Amazing man.

[Sammy117]

You're remembered. And revered; long after you left us, you continue to inspire...

[littlehelp2]

[rjknafla]

He was good

[mistyk281]

sadness and sorrow

[DjTomassi15]

[HoundmanV]

A man who made Beautiful music, and is Surely missed. 100 years of his talent wouldn't be enough.

[sayakaalessandra]

I love Roy Orbison!

[KimikoLPS4ever]

I LOVE ROY ORBISON!!

[puckett456]

i loved roy orbison.there will never be anyone that can deliver a song like he could. this is a wonderful video. i enjoyed it very much. 100stars. best wishes, margie

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

IT'S VERY SIMPLE "ROY" wrote and sang stuff that always had a hook to make you want to SING ALONG.

[els56]

There never was, or will ever be anyone else who can do it like Roy did. RIP Roy, we love you and miss you>

[jillyhawk]

Well...I know how to describe his sound...flippin 'brilliant, soul stirring & real....Ohhhh mercy....my heart was breakin'."t voice of a god, oh very yes!!!. My dreams of you....riddler out!

[doylesdolly]

I love Roy Orbison, I love all his songs, my favourite song of his is A Love So Beautiful. It reminds me of how much I feel for my first love and always will his name is Doug from Midland, Ont.

[51songbird]

God bless you Roy!Heartfelt thanks from all my family.rest in peace.

[graylyns]

Like the tradition of the ancient banshee, real emotive beauty comes from intense pain and despair, a life deeply lived. He was gifted with craft and delivery so few can ever have.

[stelian95]

amazing voice.

[alwayssme]

ty mark, this goes on my christmas wish list this year, thnx roy was always a fave of mine,,

[yezbok]

There will always be that "thing" we can't explain, until we pass through the "gate of god", when the world recognizes and affirms, yes, that is it, music was our messiah, and even those who never understood will cry "praise G-D for music!".

[TheLDLady]

My heart hurts to think he's not around anymore, there's no doubt this man is singing with the angels. I'm grateful he shared his magic during my lifetime.

[beastyclarke]

@TheLDLady  Mine too xxx

[patsym100]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I didn't know about this, will order it right now, Thanks for the link Mark, and thanks to royorbison for lettind us know about this man and his music

[Redheadedjo]

This is an awesome video, wasn't even aware it exhisted..........Mark: Thank you so much for sharing......it's almost like he is still around and I was there at one of his live concertt's..........Geeezzzzz how time slips away, did not realize it has been that many years since he left us. Jo

[magbrown1]

This is a brilliant video. I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks Mark

[garyco762]

Roy, the big O....an all time music legend. This is a great documentary video.... * * * * * 5 gold stars

[shangpush]

Just a thought: what would have happened if Phil Specter produced Orbison's records? Probably just as well he didn't--Orbison had more than enough talent on his own--but still, operatic voice, operatic Wall of Sound. .. just once!

[appapo3]

He would have made a great cross over artist opera and popular.Just as well, that never happened

[joanlagoy]

Nobody will ever come close to Roy in

my humble opinion...he's just got it!

I never ever get tired of him...I grew up

listening to Roy and have never stopped.

Thank you for this, joanie

[BrokenneckYgor]

I meeted Roy in Bogalusa, Louisianna, hacen meny jahren. I says, "Halo to youse," he jus look at me. He no say nothin g

[breezebro]

He probably just didn't understand you.

[Pickinbuddy]

I met Roy only once, in 1987 at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria...he was such a classy, humble gentleman.

There will never be another Roy Orbison...

[johnnystir]

I salute Roy's estate. Even though he's been gone over 20 years now, it seems like he hasn't been gone at all. Thanks for keeping Roy alive for a new generation of music fans!

[justlookin11]

I heard it said once if you grew up in "The Era" you were either an Elvis fan or an Orbison fan. Never really got turned on to Elvis; but Damn, could Roy speak to your heart. He taught me what loss was about before I ever lost anything. And his voice... it went where others only dreamed about.

[likekinds]

Powerful!

[airiesman]

He said "I would just like to be remembered" ... how could he ever be forgotten!!!

[zaaritha]

This is a proof of his best!

[mustanglady1]

My Dear Roy I miss you..

I wish you where here, ... You will live in our hearts forever. the sound of your voice is like an angel telling me that your still here I love you Roy R I P

[captainbones42]

pure pure 100% magic

[lennhart]

When I was a little kid, I met Roy once...it was a block party in Odessa, TX..

In those days, Roy and the 'Teen Kings' were doing clubs, furniture store openings and a local TV program that was broadcast on KOSA-TV in Odessa.

One of his first big hits --Ooby Dooby --was recorded first at KOSA - TV and is available on a CD consisting of other songs from those broadcasts.

This is rare stuff and excellent.

[BluntFella]

You're remembered Roy, you're remembered, I can assure you of that!

[joanlagoy]

I love Roy, always will....his music is

timeless....

joanie

[StarWarsFanatic99]

i have the box set and i love it.i'm 17 and i love Roy Orbison!no one can ever sing like him.

[Patriot12476]

roy orbison has some great videos posted on here, i usually watch some every day

[SDalton91080]

i really wish i could have seen this great man live in concert....

[parkssteve91]

wow.... this is great. I can't wait to buy this. Looks amazing

[JAKSurfnTurf]

You're awesome, Roy! I think this box set was the greatest ever. I own it! I recommend it to everyone!

[mcqueen5]

Roy was such a truly Beautiful singer and man, I preferred him to Elvis!

[johno934]

and a better human being he did so much for the homeless and the poor

[janisperla]

Roy Orbison..one Big!!!!!! Fantastic video!!

[sdavidh1021]

not only is he a phenomenal singer, but he is also a great, great songwriter.

[bourbonboy129]

i really like his music. all of his songs were great. i think that he should be recognized more throughout music for his great contributions.

[saintsfan1220]

I own this set personally, and it is the best box set I have ever bought.... It is the most inclusive, complete box set ever!

[ChoF1974]

....the Soul of Rock and Roll.... a perfect name, Roy Orbison was ABSOLUTELY that!!!

[SonyIceman78]

Roy Orbison put on a great show no matter where he played. He truly is an icon of Rock and Roll.

[ArtzyCoop]

All of Roy's talents made him THAT much MORE attractive! I didn't know he was an artist until I saw the postcards in the box set. He's amazing all across the board!

[steph5580]

It's just nice to see all the great things Roy's peers had to say about him. He had the respect of the entire industry.

[JAKSurfnTurf]

I love finding Roy interviews because he was so down to earth..... not like today's musicians, Roy Orbison was a great person.

[sdavidh1021]

Roy Orbison was a legend on the stage as well as a legend off the stage.... He was such a great, down to earth person. Long live Roy Orbison!

[Diamondbacks122]

i own this set and love every single track.... there are some classic songs on there that have never been released before.

[LeahSM726]

I really like how they got all these artists and producers to say a little something about Roy. He really was the man!

[Diamondbacks122]

It's true, his box set is one of the best box sets I have seen. That's the truth!

[Gordonian79]

This is such a great collection. The actual physical box set is amazing, but if you can't wait for it, you can purchase it on iTunes!!

Rock on, Roy!

[touchdownbears91979]

I have one word, "wow". What an amazing set put together for a great man. We love you and miss you, Roy!

[CMBraves00]

Truly a grand collection. Roy Orbison music is the definition of perfection.

[orbison76]

tres tres beau

[monicalewis429]

He was such a modest, loving man.... what a genuine person!

[LeahSM726]

Lovin' the interviews! They just show how much respect the entire industry had for Mr. Orbison!!

[Everdeane75]

Just got this on iTunes!! Roy Orbison is the greatest ever!

[steph5580]

I must say that this entire box set was put together perfectly. I think they did an awesome job!

Roy Orbison is a legend!

[ChoF1974]

Barry Gibb is right, "Crying" is such a great song.... It has to be one of my all-time favorites.

[GlossyPorsche]

And now the soul of rock and roll is on iTunes! yesssssssssss

[BayTide75]

I can't get enough of this video. What a perfect tribute.

[LCaldwell85]

What an incredible life that this great singer had.... I'm glad to see he's making a return to the pop culture scene!

[Walker4Orb]

This is such an amazing set.

[stuballs42]

Never before ,never since,never again ,a Roy Orbison!!!

[cherryblssom1983]

"...my answer was that I would like to be remembered."

and you will never be forgetten. I love and miss you Roy, always and forever.

[steph5580]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this box set is such a great tribute. It was put together so well, showing the passion that his family has for him. I hope his music lives on forever.

[GatorBabe831]

What a great tribute to a great man, The Big O.

[ski84girl]

The guitar he as at 1:27 is that classic Roy Orbison Gibson.... Roy Orbison is so classy!

[SonyIceman78]

...... this was one of the best musical purchases I have made in a long time....

[MarionSun288]

The soul of rock and roll is right!

[Everdeane75]

Very well done on this set. I have seen many box sets in my life, and I must say that this one was one of the best. It was put together so well, and I am so glad I purchased it.

[StarryEmma]

Not Alone Anymore is such a wonderful song!

[DudeRockabilly]

He's STILL gettin great reviews for this all over the place!

[ArtzyCoop]

Roy, you make me happy.

[Theadore77]

Bono is right, Running Scared really showcases Roy's true talents.

[70sarah]

This is a great clip put together to promote the box set. I love you Roy!

[LCaldwell85]

Watching this makes me realize how important Roy Orbison was to the music world. Without him, the pop and country music genres wouldn't be the same.

[steph5580]

I own this and it's awesome!

[malcjow]

I GOT IT TOO - LIKE YOU SAID ITS GREAT

[StarryEmma]

I would know how to describe your sound, Roy. Like angels singing!

[SunRecordsGrl]

I love every single song on here. The best box set i've ever bought!

[MarionSun288]

Do NOT fall for the scams on Amazon. The box set should NOT cost $179 dollars!! It's worth that much :) but it should not be priced that high.

[JAKSurfnTurf]

I love videos like this that go behind the scenes and show how an artist is viewed by his peers.

[SonyIceman78]

I love all the interviews and little quotes that they put in the box set. Well done!

[Everdeane75]

I just got the Blu-ray version of Black and White Night and it is awesome. 100% definitely worth the purchase!

[flemmingsbrian]

Goodbye2romance, that was really cool of you to videotape your reaction! These are four great CD's for sure!

[Theadore77]

Bono is right, Running Scared is an awesome, awesome song.

[DudeRockabilly]

The Soul of Rock and Roll!! This set rocks!

[jhilson68]

My friend just told me that he was flippin through the channels and saw Roy live from Australia on tv. And I'm stuck at work :(

[BSUBroncoTC]

What an awesome singer, and what awesome interviews they got. Roy influenced so many people.

[70sarah]

I love this set! I love Roy Orbison!

[c15art]

Roy,a popular music genius.period

[truthformeandyou]

For me at age 68, Roy Orbison still stands alone as the premier Rock-and-Roll singer. He just knew how to put emotion into a song so that you really felt it. His voice was perfection. I think he must have influenced the Bee Gees, because I get the same feeling with their music. Check out "Crying" with Roy and k.d. lang. It doesn't get better than that.

[sdavidh1021]

I must say, that footage of "Crying" is awesome. I wish i had a hard copy of that.

[LeonAbilly]

I love that girls video response.  It's great to know that Roy still touches peoples hearts!

[ChoF1974]

Listening to the Box Set right now Roy, and I love it. They really did a great job bringing back your legacy!!!

[StarryEmma]

Best quote in the book = "But Heroes Don't Die". Love ya Roy!

[LCaldwell85]

I think Bruce Springsteen makes a good point that Roy Orbison's voice was so perfect, he didn't need to put on a whole show to entertain the crowd.

[MarionSun288]

I like reading what Fred Foster had to say about the first time he was supposed to meet Roy, and noone had told Roy about the session--he was sleeping in his hotel room! That is funny!

[littlekidsrock]

A True Rock n Roll Legend!

ROY ORBISON will always be missed

[Theadore77]

Getting all the celebrity anecdotes is such a cool feature to this video. I am so glad I came across it.

[PburghCoal]

Buy it. Love it. Live it.

[steph5580]

Wow, I must say that live version of "Crying" (at 2:00) is awesome. Roy's voice floats like clouds in the sky.

[ArtzyCoop]

Listened to this all throughout the holidays!

[touchdownbears91979]

Bono is right, Running Scared has such an awesome ending.... those vocals are amazing.

[PburghCoal]

Great reviews on Amazon.

[ovrit2]

four disks guaranteed to fullfill your every Roy desire!

[BSUBroncoTC]

That quote at the end (4:38) is probably one of the best quotes I've ever heard. Well-done, Roy.

[ArtzyCoop]

I love the hand drawn postcards by roy himself inside!

[JAKSurfnTurf]

I love how they got some great musicians to say a little something about Roy.....

[jhilson68]

The question is...Who DOESN'T own it? It's great!

[cmbraves33]

Very nicely done! Can't wait to get my hands on this incredible collection. Does anyone own it yet???

[70sarah]

20 years later and he's still selling out!

[GatorBabe831]

I own the box set, and let me just say how awesome it is. They did a very nice job putting it all together! A good tribute to Roy.

[MarionSun288]

I would have LOVED to see him. How was it?!

[frankothemountain]

Roy was the coolest and I miss him. I was lucky enough to see him live two times. Simply amazing.

[ItalianRedGirl]

This box set has all of Roy's greatest songs, inlcuding more! I love it!

[sdavidh1021]

Wow, the soul of Rock and Roll. What a fitting title for the most deserving man in music. We miss you, Mr. Orbison!

[StarryEmma]

Roy's always a good christmas idea! I picked up a few of the best of soul of rock and roll cd's for my fam :)

[ski84girl]

Yeah Marion, there are also some other cool extras included in the Box set.... It really was a great purchase. I bought some as Christmas presents....

[MarionSun288]

Wait a minute...the postcards included in the boxed set were drawn by Roy??

[goodbye2romance]

yep... For the high school year book

[70sarah]

This is an amazing boxed set!!

[flemmingsbrian]

I really want you to get that stamp that was advertised in your box set!

[bartman2090]

wait arent there postcards 2?

were they drawn by Roy?!?!

[chaschas7]

thank you  why so long

[bartman2090]

were those postcards drawwn by him?

[ChoF1974]

Yes they were, in high school, and they're awesome. In fact, the whole set is pretty sweet, and a collector's item.

[SonyIceman78]

I really do love all the testimonies of famous people... Roy really was a legend.

[waffen2]

the pride of wink texas. the voice of god

[BayTide75]

It's always neat to see stuff like this, people coming out of the woodwork to say what they really think about the origins of Rock.

[jaredhoffman5]

Great name for the box set! I'm surprised it hadn't been used before! But then again, noone deserves that title more.

[Diamondbacks122]

It is definitely a must have for any fan of rock and roll!

[MarionSun288]

Yes, I agree. And I just saw that this box set is the #2 seller of box sets on Amazon. Which means that a lot of people are starting to recognize :)

[jhilson68]

Man, this is the greatest box set I have ever bought. Roy had a voice that doesn't compare to anyone else. Rock on, Roy. Rock on.

[StarryEmma]

Good stuff! Thanks duderockabilly! And thanks to you too, Roy.

[DudeRockabilly]

This box set it absolutely AMAZING. I just picked up the blueray of Black and White Night too. I appreciate that Roy still has new additions coming out. As long as they keep coming, I will keep buying.

[StarryEmma]

And if you haven't heard the box set yet, just go on Amazon and look at the reviews. They will give you a good look into what other people are saying about it.

[MarionSun288]

I still love the box set. It's still playing. It always will.

[steph5580]

I did get the new Box Set - The Soul of Rock and Roll, and it is absolutely awesome!! I love how the CD's take you through a history lesson, teaching you the musical biography of the great, Roy Orbison.

[Theadore77]

Mr. Orbison, thank you for everything you have contributed to the musical world. I wish that today's musicians and entertainers were as passionate about their creations as you were. You are definitely missed by popular music. Your legend will live on forever.

PS - the new box set is awesome!

[torontobear73]

We miss you Big O. Thank you for your great voice and music.

[FriedEggsandChips]

Wonderful

[pattypork]

Roy will always be remembered...i love turning people onto his music and watching their expressions

[SunRecordsGrl]

I love you, Roy.

[Walker4Orb]

He will be the other role-model for my son. Me being the first. Thanks Roy.

[ArtzyCoop]

I visit this page at least 4 times a week and can't stop commenting. I want the whole world to know that ROY IS THE BEST!

[MarionSun288]

Thank you for delivering an outstanding box set. I listen to one of the four disks everyday and my grandchildren dance to it everytime!
