"Gene Pitney and Roy Orbison..."
I loved the music of both. Both had amazing range. Roy could've done a bang-up job of "Half Heaven, Half Heartache" or "I'm Gonna Be Strong". Try listening to him doing them in your mind. Sounds great, doesn't it?
You're right, beelzepug. Not hard to imagine at all. Out of the same school as "Running Scared."
