Watching Roy Orbison 'The Lonely'

[Bobbisox1]

A fascinating insight to this unique singer and the tragedies that befell him

[andy-hughes]

He had such a sad life, and every ounce of pain and emotion found its way into the way he sang his songs.

[Bobbisox1]

Well worth watching if you haven't already Andy , he's one of a handful of artists to reach such a high octave

[Dagman]

Enjoying it now. Greatest singer ever!

[Dagman]

Sorry, in fact, I'm watching a concert now on sky arts!

[Bobbisox1]

Dagman, I agree , not another one in his style

[Arrods]

Can't get better than Barry Steele's tribute to the great man.

I love Roy Orbison and I found it upsetting to visit his grave which is unmarked.He deserves so much better.

this one? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5599198/

[fiction-factory]

Yes. Apart from It's Over I never really appreciated him until hearing him with the Travelling Wilberries

[fiction-factory]

^ or Wilburys

[Bobbisox1]

Georgiesmum I never knew he lay in an unmarked grave, that's tragic ,unless of course it was of his request to his family ? Or maybe his family didn't want millions of people coming to see it like they do Presley's ?

[Bazile]

Why is his grave , unmarked ?

[Bobbisox1]
