for Elvis Presley in Orbison: In Dreams
Suggested by mr_blue_sky
The story of perhaps one of the most tragic musicians in all of rock. Roy Orbison, born in Texas on April 23rd, 1936, started his career in the late 1950s, and quickly became a popular icon in the early days of rock and roll. Although not as popular as, say, Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash, Roy still found plenty of success on par with the two, being praised for his impassioned singing style, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. His songs conveyed a level of vulnerability rarely seen before, whereas most other musicians at the time chose to be more macho. He performed with minimal motion and in black clothes, matching his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses. With hits including "Crying", "Oh, Pretty Woman", "In Dreams", "Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)", "Running Scared", among plenty of others, Roy grew to be an iconic singer. Even when his first wife Claudette tragically died in a motorcycle accident on June 6th, 1966, and his two eldest sons (at the time) died in a house fire on September 14th, 1968, Roy eventually found his way back on his feet in the late 80s, when he re-recorded his most iconic songs and joined the Traveling Wilburys in the last year of his life, even hitting the charts posthumously with his swan song, "You Got It". Roy died of a heart attack on December 6th, 1988, at the age of 52, but his legacy still lives forever. After decades, his story is finally told, showcasing both his triumphs and tragedies.
