The Soul Of Rock And Roll: The Roy Orbison Appreciation Thread

[The Chairman]

This thread is dedicated to one of the greatest singers, songwriters and all around badasses who ever lived, and someone whose contribution to rock and roll has unfortunately been obscured in recent years. Most people remember him mainly as the guy who sang "Pretty Woman," but he wrote some of the greatest pop songs ever ("Cryin," "Only The Lonely," "It's Over"), and covered a wide variety of musical styles (Pop, Soul, Country, Tex / Mex). And he had killer sunglasses.
