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.
Ah man, Orbison is one of the best. I dont know about range compared to Elvis, but Orbison had a very unique style.

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