Definitely! He was awesome. What a voice. Unmistakeable falsetto. He was Elvis' favorite singer.

The Fabulous Big 'O'. he had a incredible voice, pity he had so much tragedy first his wife was killed riding a motor cycle , then lost two sons in a house fire, he was truly one of the greats.

Roy Orbison was the absolute greatest singer "back in the day". He was unfortunately overshadowed by Elvis Presley (who was of course talented in his own right) I do remember "Pretty Woman" being on WLS radio in Chicago when I was about 14 years old for 8 or 12 straight weeks as Number 1 song, a new "record" of longevity at that time, perhaps even longer than 12 weeks...my memory has faded a bit!...(:

Roy is one of my favorite singers. I listen to and read anything i can find on him. Did you see his life story on, i believe, Biography. I love his life and voice. He had a lot of tragedy in his life, but what a gift of a voice he gave us.

He was good. When younger I used to get mixup with Elvis 'cause to me they "sound" identical until I finally realized they were two different people. Dah !

Roy Orbison was one of the greatest! Very unique voice and his phrasing was incredible! he didn't write one tune that I didn't like. The sunglasses became his trademark by fluke. He wasn't much to look at but man that voice!!
