Happy Birthday to Roy Orbison.
What a bad ass dude if you think about it and I gotta say I freaking loved him all the way to the Traveling Wilburys.
That jiggly voice and glass breaking pitch are distinct as it gets. “Crying” gets me every time. The less cool, less suave, less bad boy side of early rock and roll was born 74 years ago today.
Part of the Sun Studio crowd who gained cult status popularity in the 80s when David Lynch mondo bizzaro film maker used some of his works in soundtracks.
So whatcha gonna listen to? You could be safe and go with “Pretty Woman”(he wrote that for me btw) or better yet try “In Dreams”.. its much more gut wrenching. That boy knew pain.
Angel food cake to Mr Orbison
