    Definitely! He was awesome. What a voice. Unmistakeable falsetto. He was Elvis' favorite singer.

    *** Is there an echo in here ?

    The Fabulous Big 'O'. he had a incredible voice, pity he had so much tragedy first his wife was killed riding a motor cycle , then lost two sons in a house fire, he was truly one of the greats.

    mycatsmom, whilst riding their motor bikes his wife was cleaned up by a semi, and when he was in england, his two eldest sons perished in a house fire, the poor guy had bad luck after bad luck.

    Roy Orbison was the absolute greatest  singer "back in the day". He was unfortunately overshadowed by Elvis Presley (who was of course talented in his own right) I do remember "Pretty Woman" being on WLS radio in Chicago when I was about 14 years old  for 8 or 12 straight weeks as Number 1 song, a new "record" of longevity at that time, perhaps even longer than 12 weeks...my memory has faded a bit!...(:

    THE BIG 'O' ""THhe late ,great ROY ORBINSON

    He was a Texas Boy. (*~*)

    yes i ,like more then elvis,{in dreams} pretty {worman}blue {byou}etc,etc,

    How could anyone not enjoy the talent and empathise with the tragic life of Roy Orbison

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    My niece's name is Karen. She's a great gal of 36 . She is an ordained Luteran pastor. So's her husb

    Roy is one of my favorite singers.  I listen to and read anything i can find on him.  Did you see his life story on, i believe, Biography.  I love his life and voice.  He had a lot of tragedy in his life, but what a gift of a voice he gave us.

    He was good. When younger I used to get mixup with Elvis  'cause to me they "sound" identical until I finally realized they were two different people. Dah ! 

    Hey! How about those Traveling Wilburys?


    Did it EVER get any better than that??

    It looks like a pube to me. LOL
    mycatsmom

    I wondered what it was, too. So, T Y, Eggplant for educating us. LOL

    I would like to hear Chyi Chin cover a few of his songs. I like "Wild Hearts           Run Out Of Time" a lot.

    I don't know them, will listen out

    Yes, all the time. One of my favorites.

    o heck  yes  He's the man

    Roy Orbison was one of the greatest! Very unique voice and his phrasing was incredible! he didn't write one tune that I didn't like. The sunglasses became his trademark by fluke. He wasn't much to look at but man that voice!! 

    Yes I do like Roy Orbison singing.
