Singer & songwriter

Roy Orbison

Wrote ballads that ignored the standard song structure entirely and had a three octave range to carry them. He lost his wife and two of his children within two years.

Roy Kelton Orbison was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist known for his distinctive and powerful voice, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. Orbison's most successful periods were in the early 1960s and the late 1980s. Many of Orbison's songs conveyed vulnerability at a time when most male performers projected strength. He performed with minimal motion and in black clothes, matching his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses.
