		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.

	The Orbison way
		Orbison, moreover, had recorded the song before the accident and it had been kept on the shelves because of the accident.
		Orbison kept his collection of vintage cars in the garage beneath his house, so the fire was very explosive.
		Orbison did not conform to these changes and stayed true to his roots, to be rediscovered later on by the same artists that brought about the musical revolution of the mid-1960's.

	Roy Orbison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the mid-1960s Orbison was internationally recognized for his ballads of lost love, rhythmically advanced melodies, characteristic dark sunglasses, and occasional distinctive usage of falsetto, typified in songs such as "Only The Lonely", "In Dreams", "Oh, Pretty Woman", "Crying" and "Running Scared".
		Two misconceptions about Orbison's appearance continue to surface: that he was an albino, and that he wore his trademark dark glasses because he was blind or nearly so.
		Record producer and Orbison fan Don Was, commenting on Orbison's writing skills, said: "He defied the rules of modern composition." Writer of many lyrics for Elton John, Bernie Taupin and others referred to Orbison as far ahead of the times, creating lyrics and music in a manner that broke with all traditions.
