Roy Orbison was a highly influential American singer-songwriter, born on April 23, 1936 in Vernon, Texas. 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.

Influenced by artists such as The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly, Orbison's musical style encompassed elements of rockabilly, pop, and country. His timeless hits like "Oh Pretty Woman" and "Crying" continue to resonate with listeners today. Despite his tragic passing outside Nashville in December 1988, Roy Orbison's legacy lives on through his music.

180 Gram vinyl reissue. Best known for his trademark sunglasses, distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads, Roy Orbison is one of the few American artists to score significant British success during the 'beat boom' of 1963-5. This is the second album released by Roy Orbison in 1962. It was also his second album on the Monument record label. The album name comes from the 1961 hit song of the same name that in 2002 was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004, the song ranked number 69 on Rolling Stone Magazine's '500 Greatest Songs of All Time'. The album features nearly all original material by Orbison and some of the writers who frequently tailored songs for him, such as Felice Bryant and Joe Melson. The trademark early Orbison production flourishes, with swooping strings and full vocal choruses, are also present.
