      He was much bigger in Europe than in his own country, that happens to some performers. Laurel and Hardy is another example, massively popular in Europe, not so much in America.

    If you would like an example of how big an impact on music he truly had, there is a concert video he did just a few days before his death called Black and White Night. The sheer amount of rock royalty that was there that night in support of him is astounding. Amazing performer and King of Cool.

    Roy Orbison had one of the most smooth powerful voices. He could sing real high falsetto & also low. Elvis Presley loved Roy's voice. Roy had lots of hits in the 60's such as "Only the Lonely", "Running Scared", "Pretty Woman", "In Dreams", "Love Hurts", "Blue Bayou" etc. In 1988, he co-founded the Traveling Wilburys (a rock supergroup) with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, & Jeff Lynne. They had a lot of great songs such as "Handle With Care" & "End Of The Line".

    Welcome to the world of Roy Orbinson. He was one of the four of Sun Records - he, Johnny Cash, Elvis and Carl Perkins. No re-mastering done. Roy had a vocal range that few could come close to. Take an evening and watch "Black and White Night" as it has many of his hits and look at his band members who are great artists in their own rights. Compare this version to his and kd lang's duet as well as kd's solo video of Crying. He had a huge impact in the UK. Many have said he was a musician's musician. Mr Orbison's last album, King of Hearts, was released after his death by Jeff Lynne who worked with Roy in The Traveling Wilburys which also included Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan.

      Yes he did need the glasses, he had worn very thick glasses for years and was very self-conscious about his glasses. He started wearing prescription sunglasses to hide the sickness of the prescription that he needed. You can find pictures of him when he first started out and see how thick his glasses were.

    Roy was an immense talent, one of a kind. No one sang about heartache like Lonesome Roy. He wasn't blind. He started wearing sunglasses because of the bright lights onstage and it became his trademark look. True story: When Elvis was just starting out, you could book him to play a concert for $100 a night. A concert promoter in Texas - I wish I knew his name - booked Elvis to play five shows in five different Texas cities in one week. At two different shows that week, two young Texas boys saw Elvis and decided to start making music themselves. Their names were Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly. We owe that promoter so much.

    Roy was the very first singer that I fell in love with. That voice is so iconic. You really don't know what you've been missing. He was the only singer my older brother ever cared for and still does to this day. I have introduced his music to many younger generations and they all still love his catalog of songs 🎶. You can pick anyone of his songs and they are gold. You might try his collaboration with Canadian K.D. Lang on this same song. It is beautiful and when she finishes it people have said "Elvis has left the building and shes beautiful." 😆 As Dagmar stated he later towards the end of his life joined an iconic band of legendary musicians called The Traveling Wilburys and they put out some great music that was cut short by Roy's passing. A sad day it was indeed. But his beautiful music lives on. Pretty Woman I think is the most recognized. Thanks for your great reactions. 🥰💜🎶💜

    Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline have that same trait of having so much power in their voice that they barely demonstrate that it takes any effort to project. Check out the supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. In the group is Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, George and Dhani Harrison, and Jim Keltner. Tom Petty's group was the Heartbreakers, Jeff Lynne's group was Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), George Harrison of the Beatles and Dhani is his son, and Jim Keltner was a studio drummer who played with so many great artists. One of the songs they recorded, End of the Line, was recorded just before Roy died. They did a video for the song after his death, and it has his guitar sitting in a rocking chair. Great video, check it out.

    Can't believe 9 mos ago (2023??) you had never heard Roy Orbison. Your life has not been complete...as you now know. He was a gift from God.

    I was scrolling through the comments when I heard you start reading the lyrics, and I don't know who put those lyrics there or why, but they're not the lyrics to this song; they're lyrics to a song called 'I Drove All Night,' which was originally written for Roy Orbison, but was eventually recorded by Cyndi Lauper.

    Him and Bono were singing in the studio and they kept stopping. The producer says whats up and Bono says Roy isn’t singing. They played the tape back and Roy’s voice was perfect. He just sings really quiet.

    Roy had one of the most beautiful voices of his time and that is why it has endured. Even the great Elvis once said Roy had the most perfect voice and referred to him as the greatest singer in the world during one of his Vegas concerts. That’s a big endorsement.

    Unbelievable voice!! And a shy, truly kind and sweet guy in his personal, and professional life!! ... Researching information about Roy, and reading all four of his biographies, I've yet to find anyone that had a bad word to say about Roy Orbison!! But like all of us, I'm sure Roy had his faults! But very few, if any people complained about how he conducted himself. ... Why do you think all those super stars in the entertainment industry came out to support Roy for his Black & White Night concert? It was because he as a truly nice guy, and they all wanted to be there for him in thanks for his contribution to the world of music.

    When you ask about remastering, do you mean something like autotune?
    His voice was amazing. He certainly didn't need autotune. Most of them back then didn't.

      Remastering is simply cleaning up the audio- EQ, compression, panning, volumes, noise removal etc we don’t change the sound we make it clearer. Old recordings like this were pre digital so it has been remastered, upscaled in quality, bitrate etc

    His mid-'60s hits like this one, "Oh, Pretty Woman," & "Only the Lonely" influenced _everyone_ from the Beatles to Elvis...to Bruce Springsteen and Prince. He was pulled back out of obscurity in the 1980s via membership in The Traveling Wilburys and had his last huge hit ("You Got It") right before his death in December 1988. You really _need_ to hear more!

    It's a video now but back then it was film. The speakers and microphone's were excellent . Electronically taped recording from 1965. It was all good.
