		Though Orbison isn't often thought of as a signature Nashville artist, he lived here for decades, and nearly all of his hits were recorded at RCA Studio B. Even as the lushly orchestrated Nashville Sound helped country artists make marks on the pop charts, Orbison was a bona fide pop star working on Music Row.
		He was also a songwriter in a songwriter city, a fact that's often overlooked, says widow Barbara Orbison, because at his peak he was not frequently covered by other stars.
		Barbara Orbison: âAt one time before Roy passed on, an interviewer asked him how would you like to be remembered.

		The moment came early in every concert Roy Orbison gave for the last two decades of his life; in a way, it was as electric a moment as the instant Elvis Presley stepped onto a concert stage and found himself blinded by the glare of a thousand Instamatic flashbulbs.

		When Roy's chores were finished, Barbara Orbison - who for the past year and a half had been her husband's manager - remained in Germany to visit with her family.
