He had a very unusual voice, immediately identifiable. I'm a fan too.

I love Roy Orbison's voice and of course Elvis, who was a huge fan of Orbison and said he had the perfect voice and thought he was the greatest singer in the world. I don't know about that, but I've been a lifelong fan of both from the moment I heard each one sing...RIP

@goldensrbest,

I watched that same concert earlier this week! I loved Roy Orbison's voice, and play a CD of his music in my vehicle often; I was very sad when he died.

I love his performance of "Blue Bayou." I listen to his songs often.

ETA: My other big favorite is "It's Over."

I love opera and he was doing rock opera long before "Tommy." JMO--I am a big fan.

I had to google him, and he has a unique voice. You Tubeappears to have most of his live concert videos so for those who want to see him sing, venture on over to the tube.

Add me to the I love Roy Orbison list. I used to play his albumns all the time. So many of his songs that I love--------so hard to pick 1 favorite.

Loved Evergreen, Blue Angel, Only the Lonely, Crying and so many more.

Boy does his music bring back memories for me.

Last saturday evening we went to see a tribute to Roy Orbison and the guitar player was actually a member of his band, so he talked about him and their way of life a lot. Then I saw that PBS show on Sunday and realized that right behind Roy was the guy from the show we saw.

I really like Roy Orbison too. He has one of those voices that give me chills when I listen to him.

I used to watch LA Ink (with Kat Von D) and his son Alex dated Kat Von D for a while and she tattooed a portrait of his dad and himself on his arm.

He does have a beautiful voice. I'm glad you mentioned this. I have it on now.

I have heard of him but I thought Blue Bayou and Cryin were Elvis songs first so I learned something. He had a lot of tragedy in his life and still kept singing!

I too am a lover of Roy Orbison. I have the video of his Black and White performance with a very young Bruce Springsteen. If you haven't seen it you missed some great performances. We lost Roy way too soon and his beautiful voice is missed.

Love him and the Traveling Wilburys. He lost 2 sons in a fire and his first wife was killed in a motorcycle accident. Tragic. He died young. I love his duet "Crying" with k.d. Lang.

I love the duet he did with Emmylou Harris, "That Lovin' You Feelin' Again."

If you haven't heard it, it's on youtube.
