Posted on September 25, 2018 By Editor

Roy Orbison’s voice is among the most distinctive of all time and the Texan icon is not only regarded among the Greatest Artists Of All Time by Rolling Stone, but is also included in five different halls of fame.

He was best friends with Johnny Cash, mentor to Bono, an inspiration to John Lennon and even formed a supergroup with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty.

And while Roy died back in 1988, his musical legacy very much still lives on.
