Re: John Denver and Roy Orbison.............
It certainly is a blast from the past. A lot of them had tragedy in their lives. I suppose that's why they wrote the lyrics they did. I remember going to see Roy Orbison at the Batley Varieties in Yorkshire as its not far from Leeds. That's where he met his German wife who was working there.Re: John Denver and Roy Orbison.............
Much of today's music is utter rubbish. For example, Leona Lewis was on TV the other day singing one of her latest songs in which the lyric consisted mainly of the two words "I hope" repeated umpteen times. Ira Gershwin would turn in his grave.Re: John Denver and Roy Orbison.............
I don't know any of Del Shannon and I'm not sure I know any of John Denver but I did, in later years, come to love some of Roy Orbison's songs (I Drove All Night being a particular favourite).
