I still lose myself in this mans voice, his loss is felt, 100 years from now, people will still listen and say, his voice is so beautiful,soulful,so strong, from the heart.
He looks so handsome and shy with his smiling eyes. All the kids in the family were poor sighted and wore coke bottle glasses. I like Elvis but Roy has way more range than any singers he mentioned.. b arr none. He sings live as perfectly as the Recording studio...
+Wallace Morrison She probably got it from one of the biographies of Orbison, or an article by someone who knew what they were talking about. The 'accidental reason' was in late 1963 when touring in Alabama.He left his clear glasses on a plane, and had to perform and face the press wearing dark glasses. These images of him 'went around the world' Roy's words. He had to wear glasses from early childhood due to extreme short sight. Most. not all of the early childhood photos shows him in glasses. The 'image 'thing was that Roy was, lets face it beyond ugly. He was bizarre looking. Promoters left images off posters for his concerts because they were concerned that his looks would cut into ticket sales. he obviously wore thick lenses for a reason, and both biographies I have read confirm that.
Because he didn't move on stage. So it's very easy to sing. And Elvis' voice was way more powerfull. Roy had a fantastic voice but he sounds a little bit fragile in my opinion. Elvis had a lot of voices. Compare Hounddog to Blue Suède Shoes, Jailhouse Rock to Don't Be Cruel, Heartbreak Hotel to Are You Lonesome Tonight, Now Or Never to Suspicious Minds. Just listen to it. Different voices, same singer. And after that, listen to the 70's Elvis. He was a totally different singer compared to the 50's and 60's Elvis. He sounded so different. If we listen to Roy...we hear allways that same voice. That's fine, but you can't say Roy was the better singer. Elvis had it all. The looks, the voice and his dynamic way of performing. I must admit Roy had a great writing talent wich Elvis had not.
I met Roy Orbison back stage in 1983 . He was a gentle , quiet Texan . He was the “Caruso “of Rock N Roll . There are pictures with him and Marianne Faithful . She is wearing his glasses . Roy was a true singer ! 4 octave range . I met his brother Sam . He looked a lot like Roy .
Roy seems like he was really down to earth. Even with all of the tragedy that he had to endure, he's always positive in every interview that I've seen.
Blimey ! Very odd to see the late great Roy Orbinson without his trademark sunglasses ! Such a humble man and gentle soul ! And a voice like no other ! THANK YOU so much for uploading this groovy "blast from the past" for us to enjoy ! CHEERS !! :-)
He was pretty blind and one year he forgot his regular glasses on a plane so he had to wear his prescription sunglasses and he preferred those over his regular glasses i also heard he wore them because he was a shy person
Roy was one of the greatest pop singers of all time. He had an amazing voice which captured the hearts of millions of people around the world. He was a gentle and modest man who recorded many hit songs over his long career. It was tragic that he died relatively young. Sadly, his very poor eyesight couldn’t be rectified, and so he chose to wear dark glasses.
That was great! Thanks for sharing. Good job by Roy. I do wish he would have left those cigarettes alone and we may have had more good years from him but we are grateful for what we had.
Какой скромный и хороший человек,обладая такой популярностью и любовью публики,не испортил себя славой! Как жаль,что его нет,это уникальный певец и человек!
How can one not love this man? So gentle, such a great human being, not to mention his singing... Please, English is not my mother tongue and I have difficulty understanding some things. At 1:05 Roy says that someone is doing really well in the States at the moment, who is it? Thanks!
+Filmbrock Thanks! I couldn't figure out what it was Roy was saying (I did understand "Bobby", but not the surname). My English is quite defective when it comes to understanding other people (which is frustrating, especially when, like in this case, someone tells you the right words and you realise you did know them all, it's not as if they were new words for you).
+Filmbrock Thanks for your compliment on my English! For me, writing it has always been much easier than speaking it, and understanding what other people say is just a nightmare. I don't know whether Roy's accent is typical from Texas or not, but I can understand him much better than most US or British people. He speaks softly and slowly, and that helps.
this is great thanks royorbison is great and we love australia 2 and this is one of only 2 times ive seen him without the sunglasses cool takecare all thanks for this great video
When he died he had a home on Malibu Beach in Calif. He ended up doing VERY well financially. And he deserved it. A very hard working gent but yet with a wonderfully caring heart for others. May he rest in eternal bliss....

His texan twan in his voice is so cool and makes him 100times better when he sings.dolly Parton has a voice like Roy's and that woman from Fleetwood mac stevie nicks have voice s that just make u want to hear more
Quelle bonté se dégage de son visage, j aime voir ses yeux...et quel sourire si doux.... MERCIIii Monsieur Roy j aurai découvert votre beau regard.... Merci beaucoup Monsieur Avec Admiration et merci pour votre réserve et simplicité , deux valeurs qui font les grands Hommes, celui que vous êtes... Admiration et Prières d AMOUR ❤
Interviewer: "Where do you see yourself in the entertainment world?" Roy: "I've never looked at myself in a position with the other artists. If my own career is doing good, I'm satisfied." Interviewer: "...So number one or number two?" 🤦♂️
There was one poll around that time that ranked Gene Pitney as the top male singer, with Roy #2. They met only twice--once in an airport--because they appealed to the same audience, and were seldom on tour at the same time.
What a Legend. Shy and introverted yet confident, brutally honest and humble... Rest In Peace, Roy....
Perfect description.
You said it all about him. I like his humble yet confident nature. He's honest because of his integrity, but never brags.
spot on description....
Roy Orbison is no introvert
At least not anymore. Not that I would have any idea. I didn't know the man personally @@strumminandwrenchin9162
I still lose myself in this mans voice, his loss is felt, 100 years from now, people will still listen and say, his voice is so beautiful,soulful,so strong, from the heart.
Absolutely..Amazing singer.
A gentle and gifted human being.
Roys voice/song writing…hauntingly beautiful and he will never be forgotten.
What a sweet guy. His tragedies are heartbreaking. I'll love his music for all my life.
I’ve never seen him without sunglasses before, very handsome!!! I love his hair!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and of course, his voice is awesome!!

His shyness and modesty was endearing. I agree with your comments on his voice- had more of a range than even Frank Sinatra!
I don't think he was ugly or bizarre looking at all. He looked interesting.
Well said and well put ! Enjoyed your insightful comment so much ! :-)

No doubt about it - The greatest pop singer of all time.
Totally right Frank!
I perform Orbison songs when i do caberet music, obviously not as good as him, does that make me second best pop singer of all time lol
@@neonskyline1 no
@@jackwynne2823 it was a joke
His normal voice is so nice, I could listen to Roy read the phone book.
yes, me too ❤

Marianne Faithful? Mick Jagger's gf?!
Wow, you lucky, lucky person.
Aw he's Wow.. So gentle.. So genuine. True legend
Most talented Man I've ever seen in 50 years and an utter Gentleman he was incredible ❤️
love this man was a gentleman it seems
How true ! He was very humble and kind hearted. Bless his soul...
Absolutely he was.
Roy seems like he was really down to earth.
Even with all of the tragedy that he had to endure, he's always positive in every interview that I've seen.
His humility is humbling. These interviews just make you want to cry.

That Southern accent is gorgeous. Love Roy.
The greatest legend of all time, in a few hundred years they will still still listen Roy when we are all but dust.... and rightly so... Thank you Roy
forever love for this man and his songs
He seems like kindness personified. Thank you Roy ~ for all of the amazingly wonderful music.
he is /was soo cute!
Rach Hs. sure was
Why did he always wear shades?
Roy Orbison passed away in 1988 from a heart attack. He was just 52.
Aww I know, so shy and gentle.
He was pretty blind and one year he forgot his regular glasses on a plane so he had to wear his prescription sunglasses and he preferred those over his regular glasses i also heard he wore them because he was a shy person
I wish I could have seen him perform live and could have met him! He was such a sweet soul. RIP
He seems to be so genuine, a real human being, down to earth, just a nice guy rest in peace Mr. O.

"GOD LOVES YOU"-the highest pitch goes into this song,done by Mr.Roy Orbison....cry when I hear it.....Anaheim....
That was great! Thanks for sharing. Good job by Roy. I do wish he would have left those cigarettes alone and we may have had more good years from him but we are grateful for what we had.
Simply one of the most underrated singers of all time.
❤ The great Roy Orbison!
OMG he had eyes! This is a great video. Thanks for posting it.
Of course he had eyes. His vision was poor, but he could still see.
He must be humorous and funny in life.I can see that through his expressions.What a humble gentleman.A little bit shy as well.Love Roy forever.
Какой скромный и хороший человек,обладая такой популярностью и любовью публики,не испортил себя славой!
Как жаль,что его нет,это уникальный певец и человек!
He is so awesome. Love all his songs! He is so smooth, May his soul Rest In Peace.
Great Historical Video ! We have made it our video pick of the week here at Rock-it Radio :)
Wow he's so cute! ❤ he was a very gentle and soft man I love his voice
Such a dear, sweet man. Lacking conceit. I loved his smile ❤
his songs scared me, but i have gotten over my fears. he is now my favorite.
Roy Orbison's speaking voice was somewhat different than his singing voice, so soft and nice...he was just 29 here, and already a star in America.
I saw Roy Perform in Sydney in January 1965, and again in April 1967.
Roy Orbison...he was so great. Thanks from Italy
Божественный голос! Слушать одно удовольствие! Высший класс! ❤️❤️❤️🥂
What a cool interview. Love him.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 73yo Aussie fan.
this is fantastic, good old rage.
emc4lsd Glad you enjoyed :)
Thanks for sharing this interview.
Even 60 years later, he's melting girls' hearts 💕
He's melting mine for sure!
That last dig at Elvis was perfect. Go get 'em, tiger lol

+El Gos Coix Well, Roy was very soft spoken and also had a West Texas accent. Your written English is very good. Much better than my Spanish.
+Filmbrock Thanks for your compliment on my English! For me, writing it has always been much easier than speaking it, and understanding what other people say is just a nightmare.

I had to wind that back too and I thought he said The Beatles lol
What a honey. My Mom loved him. Miss her madly n I listen to him now a lot
His voice was just fabulous fabulous fabulous
Thank you so much!! this was OrbisonTastic!!!
The Most Wonderful Voice had Mr.Roy Orbison like if Good had a Voice,should sound like Roy Orbison (R.I.P. 1988)
The most HUMBLE! without any question 🥰
I love roy he looks good with glasses or with out them he has beautiful hair and he could of had any good looking woman just with his RRRRRR MERCY !!!
Interesting to see Mr Orbison without the trademark dark glasses. A great singer and a gentle man
this is great thanks royorbison is great and we love australia 2 and this is one of only 2 times ive seen him without the sunglasses cool takecare all thanks for this great video
RIP Roy…never comfortable in interviews he was a lovely man .
Wow. I've never seen him without glasses. Cool. Thank you ☺️
I hope Roy eventually got the million dollars he had on paper.
Me to he was such a gifted and sweet human being!
Check out his house on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". I'd say he did alright.
I agree he was x
When he died he had a home on Malibu Beach in Calif. He ended up doing VERY well financially. And he deserved it. A very hard working gent but yet with a wonderfully caring heart for others. May he rest in eternal bliss....
Good, he did so deserve the money he earned.
Very humble. Such a talented man and sad he was taken so young.
Thank you for this post.

Priceless memories. RIP, Roy.
Roy must have come over from Australia to Britain,because I saw him at the Finsbury Astoria on February 15th,that same year!
His texan twan in his voice is so cool and makes him 100times better when he sings.dolly Parton has a voice like Roy's and that woman from Fleetwood mac stevie nicks have voice s that just make u want to hear more
Mr. Orbison you didn’t know that you would be such a super star!!!
Cool video of him younger and without glasses. I wish he didn't start smoking at all so he could still be alive right now.
Thanks I enjoyed that!!
Not seen an interview with him before seems shy but he has a fabulous voice one of the best ever in the world
His eyes though, they’re beautiful.
a down to earth person.
One of the greatest voices
Such sweetheart! RIP Roy!
Quelle bonté se dégage de son visage, j aime voir ses yeux...et quel sourire si doux....
MERCIIii Monsieur Roy j aurai découvert votre beau regard.... Merci beaucoup Monsieur
Avec Admiration et merci pour votre réserve et simplicité , deux valeurs qui font les grands Hommes, celui que vous êtes...
Admiration et Prières d AMOUR ❤
Super die besten sterben jung roy und Elvis ihr werdet niemals vergessen dafür ward ihr zu gut,,Dankeschön für alles vermisse dich,,,❤❤❤
Sos unos de los 100 x 100de los grandes de la historia. Bendiciones!!!Saludos y un gran abrazo de Argentina.
good honest answers from Roy.
He was and is the number one!!
Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Jussi Björling , Maria Callas, Pavarotti, Roy Orbison !
I don't know what I could write more !
Great singer very nice person
My heart
he is so polite
Such funny questions. They must've got this guy from the sports news or something. Ha. But Roy rolls with it nicely
Roy had not yet discovered, by accident, his trademark dark glasses. There was something very special about his voice.
Roy Orbison the best of the best !!
Interviewer: "Where do you see yourself in the entertainment world?"
Roy: "I've never looked at myself in a position with the other artists. If my own career is doing good, I'm satisfied."
Interviewer: "...So number one or number two?" 🤦♂️
It was nicely done.
Where is the rest of this interview? 😫
I can t believe it.... this hair was REAL!!! löööl
R.I.P. Roy.
He was very real and authentic!
1 million in 1965 is equivalent to 8.2 million in 2021
Wow!! That was a heap of money!!
What a scintillating interview.
There was one poll around that time that ranked Gene Pitney as the top male singer, with Roy #2. They met only twice--once in an airport--because they appealed to the same audience, and were seldom on tour at the same time.
I was born on this day!!!
hadnt even turned 29 at this point
Wow he must have felt really comfortable with that Aussie journalist to take off his glasses
Nice humble guy
I was born 151 days after this day.
Handled those intrusive questions with style, and dignity. ... I can see why the girls liked Roy. His soft spoken gentleness is very attractive.
Good old Ooby Dooby!!💯
Amazing
