About Playlist
Roy Orbison was a highly influential American singer, songwriter, and musician. His early interest in music led him to form a band, The Wink Westerners, during his teenage years. Orbison's journey to fame began when he signed with Sun Records in 1956, but his breakthrough came with Monument Records in 1959. In 1960, Orbison released "Only the Lonely," marking the beginning of a series of hit singles that would define his career. His hauntingly beautiful voice and emotional ballads set him apart in the rock and roll genre. Some of his notable hit singles include "Crying," "In Dreams," and "Oh, Pretty Woman." Throughout his career, Orbison collaborated with various artists who contributed to the richness of his musical legacy, in particular the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys which also included Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. Roy Orbison's impact on the music world extends beyond his chart-topping success; his emotional depth, vocal range, and unique style continue to influence generations of musicians. Orbison passed away on December 6, 1988, but his music remains timeless. Photo © Orbison Estate
