Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 - December 6, 1988) was an American singer and songwriter world-renowned for his deeply-moving emotional ballads delivered by a powerful and distinctive voice through complex compositions. His voice was once hailed by Elvis Presley as 'iconic'. The Beatles were dumb-founded in 1963 by his simple, non-animated delivery. Bernie Taupin is said to have written that Roy's music always made radical left-turns... It just goes on and on...

His amazing 4-octave range was so revered by his contemporaries that I feel compelled to provide the related links below for more information:
