"Roy Orbison"

Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison, born Roy Kelton Orbison on 23 April 1936 in Vernon, Texas, possessed one of the most distinctive voices in pop history – an almost operatic instrument of great range. Raised in the oil town of Wink, he received his first guitar from his father. His career began as a rockabilly singer with Sun Records in Memphis ('Ooby Dooby'), yet he found his true calling only a little later.

Having bought his way out of his Sun contract and worked as a songwriter for Acuff-Rose in Nashville, he entered, at Monument Records, the great period of his fateful, dramatically constructed ballads. Between 1956 and 1967 he placed 29 titles in the US charts, among them evergreens such as 'Only The Lonely', 'Crying', 'In Dreams', 'It's Over' and 'Oh, Pretty Woman'. With his dark sunglasses and motionless stage presence, the shy Texan seemed a mysterious outsider.

Orbison's private life was overshadowed by tragedy: in 1966 his wife Claudette was killed in a motorcycle accident, and two years later two of his sons died in a house fire. In 1969 he married Barbara, who came from Bielefeld. In the late 1980s he enjoyed a brilliant comeback as a member of the Traveling Wilburys, alongside George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. In 1987 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; on 6 December 1988 he died of a heart attack in the midst of that comeback.
