      I too brother. I'm headed rapidly to 73 yrs old. Once in a blue moon of blue moons I hear something I have not heard even on Mr. Orbison compilation albums. BUT not many. The Raybans were initially to hide behind but he found he could see the audience past the spot lights and kept them as a trademark.

    When Roy Orbison joined The Travelling Willburys (George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan) they all were in awe of him. Elvis was a baritone. Roy was a counter tenor. Elvis would have killed for his range.

      What a crooner man is tone is immortal. He went on to have a very long productive career moved into production and also resurfaced when he joined the Traveling Wilburys which was Tom Petty George Harrison himself and the primary songwriter for the Electric Light Orchestra whose name eludes me right now. Excellent band as well

      He was not blind but he had very poor vision. Wearing sunglasses was his trademark. He was Elvis's favorite singer. Girls were somber because they were in awe of his voice. I was a teenager in the 1960s, and Roy was really popular.

      @Windowswatcher 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      Sorry, Roy wasn’t a countertenor…he was a tenor. “Countertenors are, give or take, able to sing the same range of notes as female contralto and mezzo-soprano singers. Contralto falls within the alto range and is the lowest range of female voices, while mezzo-sopranos are somewhere between altos and sopranos, not being able to hit the lowest notes of the former range nor the highest notes of the latter.” There are plenty of good examples on TH-cam…and Roy Orbison wasn’t one.

    “Elvis was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business.

    My dad used to play Roy Orbison all the time growing up.😊 They were pretty close in age. Maybe about a year apart. Elvis Presley was a big fan of Roy orbison. Elvis even once said that he thought Roy had the most perfect voice in the world. Elvis even said that he'd never record one of Roy's songs because he wouldn't be able to do it any better.

    Roy was not blind but he did have poor eyesight. He forgot his normal glasses for a performance once so he wore his prescription sunglasses instead and that became his signature look. He was also self-conscious about his almost white hair from a young age and dyed it jet black. Incredible singer and musician.

      This is actually not true that he had poor eyesight. It was just more speculation from him wearing the dark sunglasses all the time on stage. He had stated several times in interviews that he never had a stylist or anyone like that so he wore whatever he was the most comfortable for him. He wore the dark sunglasses because the made him more comfortable on stage, with the lights and even having to look into large audiences. So it was a lot of rumors and speculation that just wasn’t accurate. I have no idea about the hair thing, I have never heard that before.

      Same with Stevie Wonder, they Were legally blind which means they couldn't see farther than , 2 feet in front of them. Elvis after he got glaucoma was the same after 1973.which makes it even more amazing how he performed on stage! The lights hurt Elvis eyes so bad that it caused him alot of pain . It was tears streaming from his condition, not sweat like people thought streaming down his face. There was always someone waiting in the wings to lead Elvis out to the car from the stage because he was blind from the lights!

    Roy was not blind. He had a condition that made him very sensitive to light. Elvis’ first national hit was heartbreak Hotel in 1956. Roy Orbison’s first national hit was in 1961, with Running Scared/Love Hurts. Roy started performing in 1956. Elvis started performing in 1954 but didn’t go anywhere. In 1956, he recorded That’s All Right, and his career hit the big time.

    According to Roy Orbinson's son, Roy forgot his glasses when he went to do a show in Europe. This was before easily replaceable glasses with plastic lenses or easy quick deliveries. He only had his prescription sunglasses to wear. So he wore them in place of his regular glasses. He wore them even during his performances.
    Later he decided to continue to wear dark glasses for subsequent performances even when he had his regular glasses. The dark glasses became his personal trademark during his performances.

    Elvis was first, they both recorded at Sun Records, along with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. They all came after Elvis was famous and they were all greatly influenced by him. Almost every singer that came after Elvis was influenced by him. He changed everything about popular music, dress, culture, etc.❤

    Elvis was 10 years earlier, in 1955. Elvis said Roy was his favorite singer. Roy came on the music scene in 1961 with his hit, Only the Lonely.

    Roy Orbison was amazing! I was a teenager in the 60s! It was a time of excitement, opinions, turmoil and war! I feel lucky to have been a part of that generation, although we haven’t done well by yours! We are now old men and women who have lived good lives and we are leaving you in times that are very much like the sixties, both the good and the bad! It looks different but feels much the same.

    No, he was not blind. But his eyes were very light sensitive. So he the dark sunglasses to help him see on stage. And if you have ever performed on stage, then you know how bright they can get.

    I watched this video when it was new. I loved your reaction and appreciation for Roy and his music. I'm an Old Broad (b.1954) so I remember hearing Roy on the radio when I was quite young. Only The Lonely and Pretty Woman were on the radio then. I felt so bad for him--he sounded so hurt. Turns out he was hurt-more than folks should be: he lost his wife in a motorcycle (I believe) accident, and 2 of his children in a house fire. He could try to hide that pain behind sunglasses (and poor eye-sight), but he couldn't hide the pain from his voice.

    In the 1960s, Roy Orbison was signed to the Monument Records label. This Monument Concert was a TV special broadcast in the UK, featuring Monument Records music artists. Roy Orbison’s set was the main event of the concert.
    Roy Orbison was a major influence on The Beatles’ early songwriting. This was most likely Roy Orbison’s first television performance in the UK, so this was a major television event for British music fans in 1965.

    My personal favorite of Roy's is Running Scared. My personal connection to that song involves me heading home after my first game playing for my HS football team, after we won, my dad was driving me home listening to the oldies station (this would have been 1988) and that song came on as we pulled out of the parking lot and the song just hit me that (the other teams) "they were running scared".
    Unfortunately that was our only win of the season we were terrible. LOL But that song and memory stuck with me.

    Music scholars say that Roy Orbison has three-or four-octave range and his powerful, impassioned voice earns him the sobriquet “the Caruso of Rock.” In fact, he and Enrico Caruso (opera) were the only 20th century tenors capable of hitting E over high C

  • @carylagerard5808
    @carylagerard5808 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The song “Crying” was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. It was first recorded and released by Roy Orbison with Bob Moore’s Orch. & Chorus in 1961. Later, it was covered by various artists, including Don McLean, whose version went to number 1 in the UK in 1980. So, Roy Orbison sang “Crying” first. 😊Yes, Elvis Presley also covered the song “Crying.” His rendition was released in 1976 as part of his album “From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee.” While Roy Orbison’s version remains iconic, Elvis added his own touch to the song, showcasing his powerful vocals. Both artists brought their unique styles to this emotional ballad. 😊🎶

    Check out the song "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaac and you'd swear it was Roy reincarnated. excellent song was very popular When I first heard it on the radio circa 1990, I thought Roy had another hit we didn't know about!

  • @Frostrazor
    @Frostrazor 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Check out Roy in his later career with a group of LEGENDS called "Travelling Wilburys".
    He's in the music video for "Handle Me With Care".
    There's another video they made "End of the Line" but Roy passed before they shot the video, so they used an empty chair with just his guitar in shots where he was the vocalist to honor him.
    Both songs are great - and are masterpieces with some of the greatest rock and roll artists all time: George Harrison (Beatles - RIP), Tom Petty (RIP), Roy Orbison (RIP), Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne (of Electric Lights Orchestra aka ELO).

    I've been following rap fans reacting to other type of music for a while now. It struck me that you would probably have an interesting take on poetry as well.

    Roy Orbison wasn’t blind, but he and all his siblings had very poor eyesight. He had to use thick corrective lenses and was self-conscious about them so he always wore sunglasses.
