🎼 The "Rockabillies": Roy Orbison, The Lonely One
(April 23, 1936 - December 6, 1988)
Genres: #Rockabilly #RocknRoll
#RoyOrbison was one of a kind in the Rockabilly era: he was called "The Caruso of Rock'n'Roll" for his fantastic voice and in times when his fellow music mates were rivaling for masculinity and setting stages afire, Orbison was singing only about loneliness, broken love and vulnerability... plus he hid behind thick sunglasses 😎 for his stagefright!
Also incredible how his 2 major hits belong to the 1980s: his 1964 "Oh, Pretty Woman" was already his biggest number, but it sold millions in the 80s, first after 👉 Van Halen's cover and most notably after being the soundtrack to the iconic movie of the same name with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere!
The other big hit "You Got It" came out only in 1989, released posthumous after Roy's death... and was massive!
