I saw Roy at a concert in 1980…. Iconic would be a understatement. He controlled everything. It was a short concert but powerful, he gave everything he had. People were overwhelmed with emotion.
He was the most wonderful singer i have ever known, his voice made you listen and appreciate his singing, sent shivers down your spine when he reached high notes. He was wonderful and is sadly missed, he died too young.
I discovered roy around the time of his death sadly. I was aware of him but when the travelling wilburys and the song "you got it" hit, i was really blown away by his voice and talent
I miss Roy Orbison. He was too young to die. We were not ready for him to go because he had beautiful voices and beautiful family. I do love him because of his beautiful voices and my heart was throbbing. I was dreaming about him. He is gone. Rest In Peace! ♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘😢😢😢
@James Henderson Sad but true. I feel angry whenever I see him in a picture with a cigarette in hand. Such a waste. I HATE cigarettes - lost some loved ones to smoking.
I don't think he tried to kill himself because he had a lot of stressful issues. He worked so hard for everybody in the world. If he tried to kill himself he should have overdosed on drugs or kill himself with guns but not that it. He had lot of stressful.
@@joleerinehardt2676 That, and also, lately, I had a theory that maybe Roy had Deep Vein Thrombosis, where from sitting too long, a clot forms then breaks off, going to the heart. Just my opinion. He had been traveling a few days before he died.
Great interview. Thanks to the interviewer for focusing on the music--the early stuff in particular. Roy is very well-spoken. He chooses his words carefully and speaks proper English.
Elvis said Roy had the best voice ..How Blessed we were to have 2 of the Greatest voice's ever & still to this day no one can even come close to either one them.thank you Roy for all the beautiful music with your beautiful amazing voice. still the greatest music forever 8-25-22.
Great interview! I would love to be able to have a conversation with Roy. These questions were great, but I would ask my own, more personal questions for me, but this was great! Thanks for posting this.
Roy Kelton Orbison (Vernon, Texas; 23 de abril de 1936-Hendersonville, Tennessee; 6 de diciembre de 1988), conocido como Roy Orbison y también como Lefty Wilbury, fue un cantante, compositor y músico estadounidense, conocido por su estilo de cantar muy intenso y apasionado, con elaboraciones de sus composiciones muy complejas y la emisión de baladas emocionales y oscuras.
Just so annoyed that post Mystery Girl he really was on the cusp of being re-appreciated and it got cut short. I really think had he lived another 5 or 10 (hell now) he’d have ruled. Roy would have slaughtered Glastonbury.
It's a distinct accent common to Northwest Texas where Roy was from and Western Oklahoma. It is definitely a form of Southern US English, just not the most stereotypical one.
0:18-0:25 smoker cough i read that he smoked 80 a day from the early 50s to 1977 when he had a heart surgery at age 41 he then went down to 30-40 a day he was a fool for not qutting smoking and eating healthy food but we do have his music to enjoy

Who would've thought that soft, quiet voice could belt out tunes so fascinating and beautiful
Exactly I thought the same
52 is much too young to die, loved the music and the man
He was a chain smoker.
And ate poorly while on the road.
He was the most wonderful singer i have ever known, his voice made you listen and appreciate his singing, sent shivers down your spine when he reached high notes. He was wonderful and is sadly missed, he died too young.
I could listen to Roy's voice all day :-)
I listen to Roy quite frequently. I go to CZcams and play his music on my tv. I Love his tenderness. He was a beautiful soul of a man
What a dear sweet soul. Roy was so gentle & so gifted.
He had the voice for story telling and always seemed genuinely happy and grateful for everything he got to do and accomplish. What an awesome guy.
He had such a soft quiet voice so relaxing to listen to.
imagine just listening hear Roy talk all day. love his accent and hear him talking.
Roy gave us such a gift. He gave his music his everything. Listening to his voice is like unwrapping a present that never ends.
Up
Yess
What a lovely, gentle, thoughtful and well-spoken man.
I'm at school listening to Roy's beautiful voice, not getting any work done, and I have no shame whatsoever
lol
There’s a song writer in your comment. You got skills.
My god… this looks like it was filmed yesterday.
Dieser Mann war einfach gut,,heute gibt's nicht mehr solche Musiker schade Dankeschön roy Orbison vermisse dich,,Dankeschön fürs reinstellen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A great man, great voice, sad life with his loss but he still excelled.
I could listen to Roy the whole day. I love his personality.
Y3s
Oh my goodness. I’m loving this interview.
A voice of an ANGEL - thank you, Mr. Roy Orbison!
Mr. Orbison is NOW singing in HEAVEN - Along with Chuck, Bill, & Elvis!!

@@anitabingamon cigarettes , and bad diet . I feel the same way . I wish he had stopped smoking after his first heart surgery .
@@brendajohnson3120 He had a very bad diet / he ate to much sugar and smoked 2 packs aday . I think food and sugar was his drug of choice .

Roy is one Beautiful man inside & out. I just love him & his family 6-1-24
Brilliant, down-to-earth, relatable and honest.
Thank you for sharing this rare interview with one of the greatest voices of all time.
Roy, other than Elvis, seemed to be able to tell dates, years and happenings from the past quite accurately and in the right context.
I've read that he had a very long and accurate memory.
@@sandracollins4320 Who, Roy or Elvis?
why compare to Elvis?
@@HelloooThere They are both in the top 4 of my favourite musicians, together with The Everly Brothers and Green Day.
@@v-g-z3689 Well that's your opinion. It has no bearing on Roy and his good name!
Flawless! Elvis and Roy. The best of the best and the greatest of all time,
new "artists" could learn a lot from this interview. Mostly about Humility, Honesty, and kindness while maintaining integrity.
If THE LORD carries,people will be singing Roy Orbison songs one hundred years from now!
Love Roy, same love for George and Tom.....
Incredibly informative interview
Very awesome video, Roy is was excelente artist🎶, rest an pera dice 💙😇 I just started listening to his music. 🙌
Wow das ist so great thank you for the upload💐💐
Great interview! I would love to be able to have a conversation with Roy. These questions were great, but I would ask my own, more personal questions for me, but this was great! Thanks for posting this.
god i love this man im a heavy rock chick but for me this man will br number one
he's really unique.
Seems like a very humble man.
Imagine being around to see rock form, and help develop it.
He is timeless

i wonder if Roy ever sang some opera or art songs, some classical stuff. Imagine him hanging out and caruso comes on and he sings along
He did, only in private.
@@joueuruno it's a nice thought
It's weird to hear his normal talking voice with that slight Texan accent, compared to how he sang. RIP
Just so annoyed that post Mystery Girl he really was on the cusp of being re-appreciated and it got cut short. I really think had he lived another 5 or 10 (hell now) he’d have ruled. Roy would have slaughtered Glastonbury.
He had such a unique accent, that is not southern sounding at all. Considering he grew up in Texas
No, he did have a distinct southern accent.
Each state has its own drawl. Alabama being the thickest accent. Texans speak faster and it's not as deep.

When was this interview? Just curious
1986
September 1986. You can see the date on the clapboard.
can anyone tell me what kind these awesome sunglasses are?
Ray Bans.
@@wozza2942 ive since researched it and no they werent ray bans. It was some obscure make that is long since gone.
I've read he first started wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses.
They are prescription glasses with tint,so whatever brand manufactured some that resemble that black plastic frame.
@@dmer-zy3rbYou can still get them, the company got brought back by a distributor, Courtland Eyewear. It’s called Faosa.

@@jiwbink lol just said the facts smoking killed him
@@hvafaenskaljeghete1800 shut up you're jealous
*Shake rattle and roll* 💀
The volume for this vid sucks.
Turn it up then.
