Artist Bio:
Roy Orbison was an American singer-songwriter known for his distinctive voice and emotional ballads. Born on April 23, 1936, in Texas, Orbison rose to fame in the 1960s with hits like "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," and "Only the Lonely." His powerful three-octave range and operatic vocal style set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him the nickname "The Caruso of Rock."
Orbison's career was marked by tragedy, including the deaths of his wife and two of his sons in separate accidents. Despite these personal losses, he continued to perform and record music until his death on December 6, 1988. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and remains a highly influential figure in the history of rock music.
