He achieved remarkable success in the UK during the "beat boom" of 1963-5 and experienced a resurgence with the Traveling Wilburys shortly before his untimely death at the age of 52. Inducted into both the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1989, Orbison's impact on music is undeniable.

With his unique voice and emotive songwriting, Roy Orbison captivated audiences worldwide. His contributions to rock and roll have left an indelible mark on the industry. Alongside his successful solo career, he collaborated with other legendary artists as part of the iconic supergroup, Traveling Wilburys.
