This one Azure is a little less scary than the version from "Blue Velvet"

Re: Roy Orbison

Then remember he was a member of the Traveling Wilburys, even if they did fall about laughing when his trained voice came in.

Re: Roy Orbison

I love the Traveling Wilburys Vol 1, it is sad to think how much more could have been recorded with them if he had lived.

Re: Roy Orbison

I loved all his records, I didn't realise he was only 52 when he died.

Re: Roy Orbison

Indeed, very young. He never drank alcohol so his only downfalls were smoking and being a workaholic. I really do think he worked himself to death - refusing to stop even when he was very ill.

If he had only taken a break and sought medical advice he could have probably had another heart bypass (originally done in 1978) and lived at least to the 2000s.

Thank you so much Duke.

Wonderful with stunning pictures and graphics

Re: Roy Orbison

I'm a big Roy Orbison fan too. I remember the first time I heard his voice on the radio - He was singing Only the lonely and I stopped what I was doing just to sit there and listen. He had such a beautiful unique voice.
No other in the world like it.

Re: Roy Orbison

Its a favourite for me and Running Scared

Re: Roy Orbison

Then again Susan I would have perhaps gone before he did, his wife died in a motor -bike accident and then fire destroyed his house in Tennessee, killing two of his three children.
Guess he just had to throw himself into work to block out the pain.
