Artist Bio:
Roy Orbison was an American singer-songwriter known for his distinctive voice and emotional ballads. Born on April 23, 1936, in Vernon, Texas, he rose to fame in the 1960s with hits such as "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," and "Only the Lonely." Orbison's powerful three-octave range and ability to convey deep emotions through his music earned him the nickname "The Caruso of Rock."
Orbison's career was marked by both commercial success and personal tragedy, including the loss of his first wife in a motorcycle accident and two of his sons in a house fire. Despite these challenges, he continued to make music and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Orbison's influence can be seen in the work of many artists, and his legacy as a pioneer of rock and roll and a master of the ballad genre continues to resonate with music lovers around the world.
