	Roy Orbison - Biography - AOL Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Roy was a capable rockabilly singer, and had a small national hit with his first Sun single, "Ooby Dooby." But even then, he was far more comfortable as a ballad singer than as a hepped-up rockabilly jive cat.
		After a brief, unsuccessful stint with RCA, Orbison finally found his voice with Monument Records, scoring a number-two hit in 1960 with "Only the Lonely." This established the Roy Orbison persona for good: a brooding rockaballad of failed love with a sweet, haunting melody, enhanced by his Caruso-like vocal trills at the song's emotional climax.
		Roy, after all, was still writing most of his material, and his early MGM records were produced in a style that closely approximated the Monument era.

	Roy Orbison -- Music By Roy Orbison & MP3 Downloads, CDs, DVDs - music.
		Although he shared the same rockabilly roots as Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison went on to pioneer an entirely different brand of country/pop-based rock & roll in the early '60s.
		He had even toured with the Beatles in Britain in 1963, and John Lennon has admitted to trying to emulate Orbison when writing the Beatles' first British chart-topper, "Please Please Me." But Orbison's fortunes declined rapidly after he left Monument for MGM in 1965.
		Their successful album set the stage for Orbison's best album in over 20 years, Mystery Girl, which emulated the sound of his classic 1960s work without sounding hackneyed.

		Spurred in part by his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as well as his collaboration with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne in The Traveling Wilburys, Orbison added a fitting capstone to his career with the posthumously issued Mystery Girl.
		The album boasted a backing band that included T Bone Burnett, several members of Fleetwood Mac, and a hodgepodge of Heartbreakers and Wilburys along with material that was penned by Elvis Costello as well as U2’s Bono and the Edge.

	Oh, Pretty Woman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orbison posthumously won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his live recording of the song on his HBO television special Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night.
		The 2 Live Crew sampled the distinctive bassline from the Orbison song, but the romantic lyrics were replaced by talk about a hairy woman and her bald-headed friend and their appeal to the singer, as well as denunciation of a "two-timing woman."
		Orbison's publisher, Acuff-Rose Music sued 2 Live Crew on the basis that the fair use doctrine did not permit reuse of their copyrighted material for profit.

		Roy Orbison always spoke poorly of his Sun sides and his whole experience with the label, but in truth he had little reason to be ashamed of the music he made there.
		The medium-tempo ballad "Devil Doll," meanwhile, was a harbinger of the Orbison to come, both in sound and temperament.
		And his longing reading of "Tryin' to Get to You" was in a league with Elvis' own version no matter how much Roy claimed he was uncomfortable with rhythm and blues.

		I know--I should probably be listing "Willie and the Hand Jive" from the Johnny Otis al- bum, and I should definitely have at least two or three Roy Orbison songs.
		I don't think it works that way with Orbison, though, who's the same kind of lightning rod that Billie Holiday is: he so overwhelms most everything he sings, he's not someone who inspires a measured response.
		One of the many great things about the Pet Shop Boys is that the melancholy heard on "Flamboyant" and "The Samurai in Autumn," you can hear it almost as fully formed in "West End Girls"; the elegiac phase of their career basically started from day one.
