Ah man, Orbison is one of the best. I don’t know about range compared to Elvis, but Orbison had a very unique style.

Elvis Presley stated: "Roy Orbison is the greatest singer in the world."

A few other tidbits about Orbison:

The Beatles were the opening act for Roy Orbison according to the book, Dark Star. Roy played for a junior high school football team known as the Wink (TX) Kittens (quite appropriate for FR, eh?). His nickname in high school was Facetus.

Orbison’s later life was very hard, though.

I don’t know what this guy’s definition of range is. Elvis couldn’t touch Roy.
