Heartbreak Hotel

Apple Music Oldies

Speaking in an interview toward the end of his life, Roy Orbison—one of the greatest chroniclers of pain and loneliness pop music has ever heard—confessed that he wasn’t half as sad as his songs let on. In fact, he said, he needed to be feeling pretty good before he could convey precisely how it felt to feel so bad. These oldies—from torch-song-tinged pop to R&B ballads—cut to the (broken) heart of a blue mood with tenderness, precision, and an innocence that feels rarer as time goes on. We regularly update these tracks, so whether you're finding a new discovery or a forgotten favorite, add it to your library.
