It was in Las Vegas, though, that Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley met for the last time. One night in December 1976, Orbison was closing his show at Caesar's Palace, when Presley suddenly came on stage. Elvis announced to the crowd that Roy Orbison was “quite simply, the greatest singer in the world.”

The hair on the back of my neck shot straight up when he hit those unreal notes. When you hear a Roy Orbison song, you know immediately who is singing. Very few singers have ever had that ability. RIP Mr. Orbison, What a band Heaven must have. God loves music 'cause it projects joy. And Roy is the lead singer.
