The TRAGIC Life and Very Scandalous Ending Of Roy Orbison

What a voice. Such a talented man

He truly was one of a kind...his voice penetrated the soul ....🎶

Apache Junction Az 1985-ish, at a Circle K in the middle of nowhere I recognized his silhouette through a heavily tinted Volkswagen, his driver was in the convenience store, and so was my girlfriend. My girlfriend came out first and I told her who it was but I could not remember his name. There were Tennessee tags on the car. I said that’s the guy that sings the song pretty woman. So she went over and knocked on the window, he rolled it down and she asked him are you the guy that sings that song pretty girl… he laughed.. he said yes but it’s called pretty woman. This was in a gravel parking lot in the middle of nowhere. 🙂

There will never be another Orbison. the man defined the word Legend , an oft-used word seldom deserved by whom it was aimed at but in Orbison's case it was a true description.Many songs define that epic voice, Running Scared is a fine example which made the hairs on your neck stand with the intensity,Walk on,Love Hurts and Crawling Back are other fine examples. My own personal favourite is A Love So Beautiful as it is so full of emotion that it could break the hardest of hearts and even a grumpy old dog's like mine I have been an Orbison fan for more years than I can remember and I still love to sit and let his music wash all over me.

I always loved Roy Orbison. Fantastic songs performed by a Brilliant Singer

The Traveling Wilburies were the best supergroup every made and it was all in fun

I've been in love with Roy Orbison since I was a teenager of 13, I'm almost 60 now. Roy had a unique and distinct voice, unforgettable!! Rest In Peace!! 💜

❤in Melbourne Australia 🦘,we said he had the voice of an angel 😇❤

My heart dropped a country mile when Roy passed away, I had met him while moving furniture for a company that catered to music stars. A brief meeting meant I would never forget his voice and love it to this very day...

I loved his music, he was one of my favorites. I used to sing "Pretty Woman" to my wife! Great memories!

One my all time favorite.

What a voice, this man had, he was great,💕

I consider myself fortunate to have seen Roy Orbison perform live on two separate occasions. Although these shows were just a few years from what we now know to have been some of his final performances - he never failed to bring the audience to their feet and a wild frenzy when he hit those notes that everyone knew were coming. Many folks I know listen to music and only hear the tune, I hear the tune also but I pay close attention to the lyrics and the story the song tells. Nobody told better stories in their songs that Roy Orbison. Ask a hundred people what their favorite Roy Orbison song is and the predictable answer is "Pretty Woman" and while that is a great song and universally recognized as Roy's song, my all time favorite Orbison song is and will always be, "In Dreams". If you haven't heard it for some time, look it up nd listen, really listen to the story the song tells. Fabulous song writing and performance. Rest In Peace, Roy, you have earned it.

I got the chance to see him in concert in 1980. In my military uniform, was walking past the venue when someone asked me if I wanted his ticket since he had to work that night. Truly a blessing to get a chance that I wasn't expecting. To whoever you were that gave me that ticket, THANK YOU!!

Cried like a baby when he passed. Singularly the greatest voice in popular music…

From his struggle with personal tragedies to his unparalleled musical legacy, Orbison's story is a poignant reminder of the power of resilience and creativity.

Loved his music and sorry we lost him way too soon!! God bless him and his family.

I love all his music but the best for me is In Dreams. This man had a magnificent voice, and I listen to his music very often.

Amazing performances
