I remember when I was about 10 or 12 my mother got a Roy Orbison CD. At the time I was far too young to appreciate him. Now that I am a bit older, I am struck by the haunting power of his voice. Youtube, as always has a wealth of clips. Do try to look at "Handle with Care" and "End of the Line". These are two songs that he performed with the Traveling Wilburys (Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynn). He died before the video for "End of the Line" could be filmed. His is a profound musical legacy.
