  • Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988), also known by his nickname The Big O, was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his trademark sunglasses, distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads. Orbison grew up in Texas and began singing in a rockabilly/country and western band in high school until he was signed by Sun Records in Memphis. His greatest success came with Monument Records between 1960 and 1964, when 22 of his songs placed on the Billboard Top 40, including "Only the Lonely", "Crying", and "Oh, Pretty Woman". His career stagnated through the 1970s, but was revived by several covers of his songs and the use of "In Dreams" in David Lynch's film Blue Velvet (1986).
  • On the VH1 programme, where Peel was presenting his Ten Of The Best, he described Roy Orbison's 1985 gig as one of the best that year: "I was always liked the fact that he was a plain bloke. It's one of those things you reinsure that somebody physically not hugely attractive can make it do some kind of level in showbiz ... I saw him play live in Ipswich and when I think one of the music papers phoned me that christmas and said what was the best gig you saw this year. You supposed to say, incredibly hip, Sonic Youth, or something like that, but in fact I had to say Roy Orbison in Ipswich."
  • Roy Orbison was an American singer-songwriter and musician, known for his distinctive, impassioned voice, complex compositions and dark emotional ballads. While most male rock and roll performers in the 1950s and 1960s projected a defiant masculinity, many of Orbison's songs instead conveyed a quiet, almost desperate, vulnerability. His voice ranged from baritone to tenor, and music scholars have suggested that he had a three- or four-octave range. During performances, he was known for standing still and solitary, and for wearing black clothes and dark sunglasses, which lent an air of mystery to his persona.
