Roy Orbison Essentials

Roy Orbison was one of rock's founding fathers. He became the hero of the heartbroken, churning up the deepest, darkest emotions—paranoia, regret, despair—in heart-shredding pop epics like “Only the Lonely," “Crying" and "Running Scared." But then Orbison could turn around and growl out "Oh, Pretty Woman," the ultimate libido-unleashed rocker, dripping with sweaty sensuality and escalating the temperature of the nation.
