On Roy Orbison’s “Black and White Nights” DVD, Tom claimed to have been Roy’s babysitter. :{)
Great DVD. James Burton and Roy Orbison deal with it.
Roy Orbison!! Now that was a man who could really sing! He was almost too good for Rock and Roll, but he made it work by techniques of production. Roy could have gone into opera, his voice, octave range and power were that good.
Roy knew how to write a song, full of ominous melodrama which lead to ecstatic release. Just listen to the song ‘Crying’. So simply done.
Phil Spector like walls of sound, in my unlearned opinion.
