Roy Orbison and his music have been the driving influence in my life since 1960. I was a vocalist in several bands over a 30 year period and although my vocal range was comparable to Roy's I have always been awed by the power and clarity of his voice. I f
rst met Roy in 1964 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He is the man in my life whom I will never forget. God bless him!! Brent

Comments:
I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Orbison on several different occassions at the home of his parents, Orb and Nadine Orbison, when they lived one block from me in Galena Park, Texas. I ran around with Roy's brother, Sam, until Claudette, Roy's first wife,
died in June of 1966. They moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee shortly after her death. My wife and I stayed in touch with Nadine and visited her and Wesley, Roy's son, up until about five years ago.
I have three records from the early sixties that Roy autographed for me. Wouldn't trade them for all the Elvis records there are.
We will always love and remember Roy Orbison and all of his family. We are planning a trip in the spring to visit Wesley Orbison who I understand now lives next to Johnny Cash. Roy gave Johnny and June Cash the property next to them after the tragic fire
f Roy's home that took the lives of Roy, Jr. and Tony Orbison.Johnny kept it for years and had an orchard growing on it and I read recently that Johnny and June gave it to Wesley to build him a home on. Wesley was the only surviving child of the tragic fi
e.
Love your website and will continue to view it for more Roy Orbison fan comments.

Comments:
Seeing Roy's memory being kept alive by his fans must be gratifying to his family. Whether it's Dave's photographs, Ab's incredible amount of recorded material or any other fan's recollections it's something deserved by Roy and understood by many!
Thanks to my career I had the opportunity to host three live appearances, meet Roy's father, brother sam and two sons. Thanks to Dave Shoenfelt for the chance to meet Wesley years later and come face to face with so many other true believers in the greatn
ss of Roy Orbison.
Top of the list of regrets is missing the Nashville party last year!

Best memory of Roy: My father reading the newspapers "Roy Orbison died, do you know him?" - "No, never heard..." | I have been a fan since:: 1988 (you got it-single) | Roy better than Elvis?: indeed, and much different |
Comments:
I just cite Tom Petty: "He was the greatest, you know, the greatest singer ever, that I ever heard, ever!" We all know the similar words of McCartney, Springsteen, Presley, Lynne...
Roy was and kept human and natural, noone from us knows how he felt in the late 70ies when 50 people visited his concerts only. Well, you never should think any person is naturalness, especially not if you have one of the very rare persons who used their
oices as an instrument, like Roy did! If the shares go well this autumn I may ask an artist to form a stone-statue in my garden with Roys appearance. It is interesting to listen to Barabara Orbison´s german interviews and her stories about Roy and Elvis j
king about "another Cadillac? another diamond ring?", so much we would wish to know about this man, how he mastered the loss of his beloved persons. Well, he exactly knew even if he would play for one person only, the generations would still know his work
is unforgettable, his voice outstanding, and his songs bringing us to butterflies (My prayer), cry (So young), astonishment (It takes all kinds of people), thinking about life (Southbound Jericho Parkway), cheering (Running scared), "Caruso in sunglasses
nd leather-jacket" (The crowd), desperation (Drifting away) and many more moods, doesn´t it?
He was and will be one of the most loved (seriously loved by the fans, no boygroup rubbish loved by teens still loosing their milk teeth!!) and normal-behaving artists in history of pop-music.
Greetings from Germany

I have been a fan since:: Aprtil, 1961 | Roy better than Elvis?: As a singer - Yes! |
Comments:
As a young lad of 15 in 1961 I bought my first 45 record. It was Roy's record 'Running Scared'. I knew nothing of him - where he was from; what he looked like; or even how old he was. All I knew was that I was captivated by his voice and his song. Fro
that moment I have been an avid fan of his and my record and cd collection bears testimony to this. I was fortunate to finally see him perform in an ante room at the Sydney Opera House in the early 1970's. There was nothing superficial about his show -
he just stood there and sang his songs. I couldn't get over how he sounded just like his records - which was exactly how I wanted it to be. I recall how I wished his show would just go on and on. I never tire of listening to his music and I feel indebte
to him for the pleasure he has given me continuously over the past 40 years. No doubt like other fans of Roy I often wished I had the opportunity to personally thank him for giving me this pleasure. Submitting these comments on your excellent site has m
de me feel that I have paid tribute to a great artist who thoroughly deserved it.

Comments:
Roy's music has been a big part of my life. I am known for three main things by all who know me. 1) I come from the Isle of Wight, England
2) I support Preston North End Football Club, and
3) I absolutely worship the music of Roy Orbison.
When I am feeling a bit down I put on my Orby records, have a good old sing along and without fail it lifts my spirits. Without Roy my life would be much more empty. One question though, I would just love to get Roy's version of Danny Boy on CD. Is it
vailable?
Good to have the chance to voice my feelings about the great man, thanks,
Mike Payne.

Hi Martin, It's been awhile. I'm really 'out of action' due to serious
family health problems but I never am totally out of touch...I wanted to
email you to alert you and fans to the following items: (Please forward
me your email address after this...): 1) Jerry Haymes, who played with
Roy in the 50s at Sun, as one of the backing Roses, will finally get to
pay tribute to his friend April 15-16 at VErnon, Texas. After many years
of trying to get a real tribute going at Wink, he has given that up and
turne to the larger Vernon, Roy's birthplace, where city fathers have welcomed
his show. He will headline along with the Texas Playboys (of Bob Wills
fame). Jerry will sing four Orbison songs, backed by the Playboys, talk
about his memories. Of special interest is that eldest son Wesley Orbison
has agreed to come to meet and greet fans. The city of Vernon has already
come up with a park named for Roy with a statue of Orbison--something the
smaller Wink never was quite able to accomplish... Fans can call 940-553-3739
for more information. 2) Larry Branson, the most well-known of the Orbison
tribute performers is moving into the States now with his road show, which
features his uncanny interpretations of the great Roy O. His next stops
are March 31, Leelanau Sands Casino in Suttons Bay, Mic igan and April
1 at Kewadin CAsino in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. For more info email

Roy has always been the legend of Rock & Roll. I was always
upset when he was not mentioned as the real King of Rock & Roll. I
always thought that I was alone in my respect for him until his death.
While sitting at a Rotary meeting in Denton, Texas. It was announced that
the greatest rock & roll singer in the world had died! Everyone at
my table spoke about how Roy had been a favorite of their teen years! It
was wonderful!

I really think Roy and Elvis were meant for their own individual
roles in music. I did like some of Elvis' music, and frankly feel that
Roy could not have done true justice to "American Trilogy," "In The Ghetto,"
and a few others. But then Elvis was "a it" pretentious. Give the edge
to ROY!

Comments:
I had occasion one time to see the final polishing of a huge glass
lens for a observatory type telescope. On edge, the glass was over 5" thick;
but viewed from above the glass was blown so so perfectly amazingly flawless
and clear that you had absolutely o sense of there being any real surface
to it-it was as though if you were to reach down to touch it your fingers
would go right through. To me that was the perfect example of The Voice
of Roy Orbison. The way he could "bell" that pure sound and make it r sonate
with a harmonic that brings you up short and concentrate your attentions
right completely, totally on, and in, the Moment will never be duplicated.
His voice and his music has saved my life. He had no sucessor; he will
have no equal. Thank you, Roy

night alone in my misery. Roy sang right to my heart. Luckily I had better
luck in the future than Roy had in alot of his songs.
