Roy Orbison

[Ezekiel 25:17]

 

 

Money.

[rondeco]

One of my heroes.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I love Orbison, especially with the Wilbury's a true legendary musician.

Beautiful song, my favourite from the wilbury's at a push is probably :

 

YouTube - TRAVELING WILBURYS - your not alone NEW

[Rex Banner]

one of the greatest voices of all time

[Tom R]

When I hear The Traveling Wilburys I think of being in the passenger seat of my Dad's big car, blasting down the down the dock road to town at warp speed, and believing that my Dad was the biggest man in the world.

 

Ace.

 

I'm off to play some Wilburys right now...

[She Knows It]

Wasn't he a child molester? Or was that Jerry Lee Lewis? Or both?

[RJ Fan club]

Wasn't he a child molester? Or was that Jerry Lee Lewis? Or both?

 

 

I think Lee Lewis married his young cousin and don't think the Big O was the pre cursor to Paul Gadd or indeed Jonathon King.

[Rex Banner]

Wasn't he a child molester? Or was that Jerry Lee Lewis? Or both?

 

don't think so, 2 of his kids 2 boys I think died in a fire at his house and his wife died in a motorbike crash as well if im not mistaken.

[Newport]

One of the best love songs ever. I know there are other versions of it, but this is by far the best one:

YouTube - I drove all nigth

[Tom R]

There's a story that Roy's family had a curse on it. He suffered so much loss during his life it was unbelievable.

 

When Roy Orbison died the Wilburys asked Del Shannon to take his place for one last album. Del Shannon then promptly dropped dead, adding further to the "curse" legend.

[King Emlyn]

one of the greatest voices of all time

THE greatest in my opinion.

I concur.

[Owen]

Roy! Clingfilm! Disturbing!

[RedKnight]

He's no Todd Mussburger.

This song, for me, is his greatest.

A candy coloured clown they call the sandman, tiptoes to my room every night... just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper... go to sleep, it'll be alright.

Also one of the greatest scenes in a movie ever!

Really ??, I heard he ran away.

[Tom R]

Really ??, I heard he ran away.

 

Nice.

[DT]

Really ??, I heard he ran away.

 

I heard that as well, but then I wa-wa-wa-wa-wondered if it was true.

[Sugar Ape]

Fucking leg. So much pain in his life. Bona fide legend.

Blue Velvet! I have it on dvd, this thread has prompted me to watch it again and dig out his greatest hits album.

Tragic about all his family dying but great art demands great sacrifice and when he sang about loss the feeling came from deep within like no other performer.
