Elvis said he was the best singer he ever heard, and I agree. He absolutely was in my book. I've heard many names thrown around, but Orbison without a doubt has the most beautiful range without the need to substitute volume for power.

Not an expert beyond the hits but what hits they were, and what a voice.

Man, what a line from a song. And what a voice singing it.

I visited his(unmarked)grave a few years back. I know it’s the family’s wishes, but it kinda sucks that he doesn’t have a headstone.

Elvis said he was the best singer he ever heard, and I agree. I've never heard a Roy Orbison song that I haven't liked. Roy is by far, one of the greatest singers, songwriters, musicians, performers and recording artists that has ever existed. Roy was and will always continue to be a true musical genius. I even greatly admire Roy's 1979 song "Hound Dog Man" which Roy had written, recorded and performed in honor of the memory of his friend Elvis Presley. Roy and Elvis were good friends from the mid-1950's all the way up until Elvis' tragic death on August 16, 1977 and they always had such a great amount of respect for each other. Roy has both Elvis' and the Honky Tonk Man's official endorsement.

I don't listen to him, but there's a few of his songs I really enjoy, and he had maybe the best voice of his era.

I am particularly fond of You Got It. His last hit and what could’ve been a road towards a big comeback.
