Roy Orbison Documentary

We watched this last night. A moving insight from family and friends, well worth a look on catch up if you missed it. I had the chance to see Roy in concert many years ago and he was one of those amazing artists that are as good live as on disk. Amazing voice.

What has this to do with a Rover forum?
I listen to his songs in my car and attempt to sing along but can't hit those high notes! I can't even whistle them.

I too watched the documentary and that was preceded on BBC with a very interesting interview with Roy's son Alex, and this contains a couple of insights that many of us do not know of. All of this well worth watching.

“ In The Real World”. One of my favourite tracks.

One of music’s Legends.

Also watched it, you could see how loved his children were by him, and how much they love him in return.

A real talent.
