With a career spanning over three decades, Rock icon Roy Orbison was one of the most influential musicians of his generation.
Rocking the sixties with hits like 'Oh, Pretty Woman' and 'Crying', Roy cemented himself as one of the leading stars of the 1960s, before finding a successful career resurgence two decades later. However, Roy’s life was not a bed of rocking roses. After facing numerous tragedies and eventually passing on at the peak of his career resurgence, his son Alex has finally come forward to admit what we've always suspected about his dad. What is it, you ask? Let's get right into it.

My Wife and I had the privilege to see Roy Orbison live at Lewisham Theatre. Sheer magic. An extremely gifted and very kind man, who had so many tragedies in his life. Fantastic vocal range. A heartfelt thanks to his sons for keeping this very special persons memory alive. Long may it continue. Thank you Lads. Best Wishes to You and Yours.

I'm a huge fan of Roy Orbison as I grew up from childhood. I'm disappointed, you failed to mention one of Roy's biggest hits, "Blue Bayou," and where it fell during Roy's music career. 🙏 RIP ROY ORBISON 🙏

The Travelling Willberries were great, not just their music but they all looked like they were having a great time. Shame we have lost so many of them. Thanks for the great music and memories. The tribute gig they played for George Harrison was unbelievably great especially for Dhani Harrison, he was a awe especially when Prince came on. OMG I will remember that for the rest of my life. ❤❤❤❤❤

It's amazing how an old '60s song can instantly transport you back in time to a specific emotional feeling, such as sadness, happiness, loneliness, or love.

There was nobody like Roy Orbison. His voice was one of a kind and loved by many. His music is timeless!

I saw Roy live in London and wow what a show, it was around 72 /73. I remember driving with a friend to a club here in Perth Western Australia when the news came over the radio about Roy's passing, absolutely devastating, he will live on forever with his music 👏👏👏🎶⭐🙏

One of the loveliest voices I've ever heard . so unusual.
-
One song that doesn't get much mention is Pretty Paper, a wonderful Christmas song written by Willie Nelson that Roy recorded on September 11th, 1963, while in London, England. Despite having a 102-degree fever, Roy, with the backing of the Ivor Raymonde orchestra, knocked it out of the park like only he could do with that God-given voice from the heavens. He left us far too soon.
-
I believe this man rates right up there with Elvis. In fact I have Roy’s music and no Elvis. He’s One of a kind. Rip

My wife and I saw Roy perform in a small Disney venue in March 1988. We had front-row seats less than 20 feet from the stage. His voice was as pure and perfect as his recordings going back to the '60s. That was one of the best live performances I've ever seen. In retrospect, his death later that year made the event epic.
-
Many people feel an extremely deep love for Roy's music. We do more than just listen to his music: it goes straight to our hearts. I'm touched by the friendship that lives among his three sons.
-
The most ethereal voice in music history. Unreplaceable.
