ROY ORBISON's Hometown & Museum | Wink TX

[@nyokoSalome]

oh mercy!! ;0 ohmigodzz jordan, TY so Very Much for covering my grammy's favorite ... :)) she =loved= roy... and all the others she claimed to have seen in that 'pre-amplified' era of rock-music (jerry lee, roger miller, even elvis i think!) back at the county fairs, way back when pre-60's!! really touches my heart to see the history of these folk... :) p.s. blows my mind that 'you got it' was posthumously released?!? that one sounds sooo 'in the day' of his best early work!! bittersweet... but, i'd hafta think... ;0 roy wouldn't want it any other way!! :) (plus, couldn't have anything to do with a few of the beatles being fans of you?? ;0 and pushing ya as friends to come back out onto the stage?? ;0 omg... =what a life= that man had!! :) ... coming to the end of your viddy... "i'm cryin'!!" ;0 happily, of course!! :) allll those wonderful memories in that museum... :)

[@choward1115]

So how great was the great Roy Orbison...?? I’ve spent the last hour just listening (on YT) to old favs song by Roy!! Oh that voice I ve never forgotten the sound. Oh this is my fav vlog Jordan... thanks so much I’m sure your fans & viewers so Appreciate this vlog! Be safe Jordan & Breck...

Roy Orbison's voice still reaches right to the heart of my soul. He turned the word "crying" into six divine syllables, forever transformed. What a voice! So happy to have heard him, as growing up to his music gave a way into another, more beautiful dimension. Heaven sent. Thank you for bringing the Wink here, Lion Man. ❤

[@tomtransport]

Well, this 4 year old video just popped up and I am subscribed. I found Roy to be one of my favorite singers back in the very early sixties with "CRYING". In the 70's I purchased and still have an original MONUMENT LABEL 33 1/3 double album, Roy Orbison's greatest hits. I own a 1961 Seeburg AY160 Stereo Jukebox. Holds 80 records (45 RPM) X 2 sides = 160 songs. Two in there by Roy "California Blue" and "IN Dreams". Another he wrote and had a huge hit with is in there too but my copy is the covered version by Linda Ronstadt "Blue Bayou" . Thanks Jordan, the museum small but big in heart.🤩🤩🤩

[@patsyguevara5418]

Im native Pecos Tx, just thinking someone so famous was my next door neighbor gives me chills and makes me so proud. People talk about what a nice and polite guy he was. This is good old fashioned bringing. 😊😊

[@braylenconner3]

This or the Buddy Holly Surf Ball Room has to be my favorite. This was actually the first episode I watched because I wanted to learn more about Roy and then I watched this and got hooked, thanks Jordon

[@jeanmetzger9359]

I am glad you did this one. Hopefully that town won't go under and become a ghost town. Glad you are helping keep the museum and town on the map.

[@karensparks2509]

I always loved Roy’s songs! Thanks Jordan!

[@profzoom69]

there will NEVER be anyone like Roy Orbison again.

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

I can close my eyes and listen to his music and I am back in those wonderful days........☺️

[@kellycoleman715]

When Roy and his teen band mates performed on KMID-TV here in Midland, TX on Saturday evenings, my mother would turn off the TV. His nasally voice while singing Oobie Doobie would annoy the heck out of her. From then on she would refer to Roy as Oobie Doobie . For her 80th birthday I hired a Roy Orbison impersonator. She got a big kick out of the joke. Roy actually lived here for a time and got his big break here when Elvis and Johnny Cash invited him to perform with them at a couple of concerts at Midland High school in the mid-1950’s. Roy also co-wrote ‘Only the Lonely’ when he lived here. I happen to be a big fan of his singing, unlike my late mother, God rest her soul.

[@mistydawn2717]

My mom loved Roy. When she was cleaning or driving she had pasty cline or Roy playing on her stereo..💜 every video is so detailed and always a joy to watch. I love each of these Ty dear.

[@mariaday712]

Sorry Jordan. Been in the hospital a few days. I'm catching up now. Great vlog. Great man. What else can you say? Thanks for bringing us here so we could see it. Sorry to hear the town in sinking. Good thing you got to vlog it before it disapear's. Safe travels for you and Breck and take care.

[@k8ekool133]

Excellent vlog. Such an incredible voice and beautiful songs. Thank you Jordan!

[@BoomerBlogging]

Well done Jordan! Roy, like Elvis, came from an obscure place in America and rose to be a legend. From dirt to diamonds - thanks Roy - you are so missed! As is Elvis!

[@pamelawooten3251]

Love his music and I have been lucky enough to know his first cousins that went to the same church as I do. They all resemble him and sing just like him. Wonderful family. Thanks for this vlog Jordan!

[@magz98610]

Roy had a tragic life but it made his music all the better.I can remember listening to his music in the 60`s and really digging it.He will always be remembered..

[@AH-rl9ev]

"She's a Mystery Girl" is one of my favorites that he sang. His songs just hit you when you least expect it....

[@ghostycat6675]

I am 37 and i grew up listening to Roy Orbison , Elvis , 60,70, and 80's music. Me and my younger sister had a really good childhood dancing around the house listening to records with Mum and Dad listening to all the time greats . This vlog brang back my great childhood memories thanks Jordan and Brock . In memory of Roy .

[@diorme7510]

I may be a living legend, but that sure don't help when I've got to change a flat tire. Roy Orbison · Another great Vlog...thanks!

[@redsloane879]

Wow. Just wow! What a fabulous video!! Love "Pretty Paper" (written by Willie Nelson), and is my fave Christmas song. Only other guy that can do a decent falsetto is Chris Issak.....have seen him many times. He does a mean rendition of Only the Lonely. It's a shame Wink is fading away, seems like a sweet town and the Museum is the best!! Thanks Jordan!

[@FirefighterKWann]

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he was so humble in life in everything he did. He came from such a small, humbling town, and all the stuff that happened in his life!!! Thanks for sharing this, this was great!!!

[@lbjordan9083]

I remember sitting by the lake, swimming & “pretty women” playing on my portable radio constantly. It was a good summer.

[@paulinerobles9364]

Wow!!??? what a fantastic video.I have lived in San Antonio,Tx all my life and I don't know where Wink Tx is.I saw a video of Roy's boys and they look like him. I love his songs.my favorites are Crying and Lelia. Have you ever heard Crying with Roy and KD Lang. Fantastic, look it up on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@delsaabbott6766]

I loved this video, Roy was probabaly my favorite songer, no one had a voice like him. Thanks Jordan

[@celestine811]

He will live on through his music . Really interesting vlog thank you so much Jordan ! :-)

[@thommcintyre2903]

In the 1980 feature movie Living Legend: King of Rock and Roll, Roy recorded the soundtrack album and provided the singing voice for the lead actor Earl Owensby.

[@sunshineharper4845]

And now I'm cryyyyying over Roy!

[@procopiojrpalacios9702]

Thanks for taking us on this vlog to Wink, Texas. Your admiration for Roy is genuine! He is one of the greats! Some of his peers consider his voice the greatest ever! "You Got It!"

[@kathymiglio8196]

Great!! You tried on Roy’s glasses wow!!!!!

[@cafdnw]

There will never be another Roy Orbison. He was one of a kind!! Great vlog Thanks Jordan and Breck 👍🏻❤️

[@mamiebobb4173]

Thank you SO much Jordan. I absolutely loved RO and this was a big surprise. It made me wish I had a spare billion$$$ so I could open a factory there - - - and a grocery store and a drug store and a medical clinic and a movie theater and.... "if you build it, they will come"

[@michaelstorm7552]

I have lived in the United States all my life and I love these travel vlogs of the United States we have so much more to offer than any other country

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Have you been outside the country at all?

[@michaelstorm7552]

@@DazewithJordantheLion yes first time Manchester England my senior class trip 1989 was my first one and then I have been to Australia three times in the late 1990s

[@congruentacousticsdavescot9602]

I met Roy Orbison at an awards banquet in Nashville, Tennessee. He just shook my hand and we exchanged a few words but he seemed like a very humble and gracious guy. He did have a wonderful voice. Nice vlog, Jordan. I think it's important to remember people like Roy.

[@CindyLynn8470]

It was Hendersonville TN, and yes Johnny Cash lived right next door... I grew up there

[@leggettnada1]

This was amazing Jordan. Roy Orbison is one of my all time favorite singers. Elvis being the first of course.All the greats from the 50 and 60's died so young. I am so blessed for my family and you in my life. You give so much enjoyment in my life with your vlogs. I have learned so much from you with all the history and for this I will always be grateful. You definitely have a gift. God Bless you and always protect you on your travel's. Much love to you and Jah

[@sandramonaghan3130]

Loved Roy one of the best singers ever I had the privilege to see him perform when he came to UK I was really saddened to see his grave unmarked

[@robertaannmarziani8147]

Jordan - I REALLY enjoyed this vlog!! What a great museum! Thank you!! ✌😊❤🖖

[@shycheyenne9460]

Like the shades..This is another great vlog.. Enjoyed learning facts about him.. He was one of The Greats that's for sure... Thank You Guys And Be Safe!!

[@deniseconaway701]

That's was so interesting Jordan, Roy Orbison songs have always been around, when i was growing up, on the radio, tv, never knew anything about his life, no wonder he became a kind of recluse after loosing his sons and his first wife, total tragedy, glad he found someone to share the rest of his life with later, the museum, i hope after your vlog which was excellent, brings many visitors, and some much needed buisness, Thankyou that was a fab vlog, goooodbye xxx 😀

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

I never really knew who Roy was until 1984. In 1984 I worked for a night club in Denver, Colorado where he performed at. I went with my boss to pick him up at the airport. I was blown away by his music later that night. Roy gave me the Best Of Roy Orbison album and signed it for me.

[@oscarmadison8530]

Wow,so many positive waves.😎

[@jeanfeeley7786]

I grew up listening to Roy Orbison, loving his music. One of the greats! The museum is awesome, so many things and I never knew about his tragic losses. I graduated in 1965 and danced to many of his records. That’s for the memories! It’s so good to see Breck! Thanks for taking me along on this great find.

[@debbieclark7031]

I had no idea what a great illustrator Roy was. The museum was wonderful, so many interesting things to see. Wow looking through Roy's sunglasses what a treat.

[@savages4898]

Hi Jordan verry nice vlog Roy Orbison was one of my fav. lionheart for life Love to the Jahster.

[@lauriecoleman6361]

Oh Jordan, this meant so much to me! I remember the music video the traveling willburys did after Roy passed. It shows Roy's guitar and glasses on the train seat. Thanks from the bottom of my heart! 😎🕶

[@mmhthree]

Welcome to my home state, Texas! Enjoy, Jordan and Breck! 😎💯🎶

[@st0rmi965]

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

Love Roy Orbison’s voice and songs! Had no idea that his life was filled with so much tragedy. Thanks so much for this tribute. So cool seeing the museum and his rose colored glasses. His glasses look great on you. Thanks Jordan fantastic vlog today!

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Good for you Jordan going to Wink and vlogging about this wonderful man Roy Orbison. I hope the people of Wink will be safe from the sinkhole. Great moment for you trying on his glasses. Thank you Jordan

[@liktom]

Yesterdays video Roswell and Roy Orbison today, two really excellent videos. Your videos show more detail than others which make them interesting to watch like Roswell, I've never seen downtown Roswell. Love Roy Orbison.

[@montemichelbleu]

A former band mate of long ago went on to become a back-up singer for Roy's touring band in the 1980's. She said he was completely genuine in his kindness and very unassuming about his amazing talent & gift. That gift keeps on giving! Thanks for this great vlog - It will surely bring many new listeners to his music.

[@reapercrew3159]

Another great video I'm a Roy Orbison fan i always loved his music.

[@JamesLee-lk4kx]

Extra cool vlog today jordan,roy orbison is up there on my old favorites,right by del shannon.thanks again for all the work you put into these videos,its appreciated.

[@3dwag]

Such wonderful ballads, and that voice! The first record I ever bought was his "Oh, Pretty Woman" on Monument Records -- I still have it. If you haven't already, you need to watch and listen to his Black & White Night on a proper home theater system, full throttle. Thanks, Jordan, for a most excellent vlog!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you. Yeah, that is a great one!

[@joshuawaltz9484]

[@katherinejohnson7179]

I absolutely loved this guy. Ty so much for sharing this with us and hugs and kisses to Jah for me.

[@zipshed]

Roy Orbison was very unique in his music and was done in his own way, He was truly one of musics great ones. I absolutly love the traveling Wilburys and have since they formed in 1988. I actually had to stop this vid and go watch them play "The end of the line". Ive learned a few things of Roy off todays vlog....Thank you Jordan...Very cool!

[@jabcrr58]

Jordan, this was a great, interesting piece. I love Roy and his music. I wish you would sing one of his songs along with your guitar.

[@debbiebrister3461]

Roy Orbison was one of my all time favorites! There will never be another voice like his! It just goes to show you not to ever give up on your dreams! They said he couldn't sing and Elvis should go back to driving a truck! Thank God they didn't listen!!

[@missourimom9140]

Gosh, your vlogs just keep getting better and better, Jordan! I've loved every one this week. Thank you and please be safe on your travels. Best wishes from Missouri!

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Such a beautiful voice Roy had. My mother just loved him. Pretty Woman was a great song. Sink holes can be incredibly scary. Thank you for another great vlog. Much love to you and Jah ❤❤❤❤🦁

[@nancibeam3289]

Incredible vlog Jordan. I was raised in West Texas, in a small town near Lubbock. Loved Roy too. My mom always played his records. Learned a lot of cool facts from this vlog, but then again, I do from every vlog you post. We appreciate all of them! And of course, we miss Jah!

[@GorillaKidGT-q7q]

You did an incredible job on this vlog! I loved every bit of it and I can’t believe that you not only saw his sunglasses, but got to try them on too! I was thrilled for you and so envious. I liked Roy’s music even as a young child. You did an amazing job capturing his life. I really enjoyed this!

[@sandyfatland3141]

Such a special vlog about a one of a kind talent. Thank you Jordan

[@annesantos5104]

Wow, this small museum has everything! I am very impressed. I hope you will be able to return for the tribute festival one day. I have always loved Roy Orbison. I didn’t know much about his personal life, so was very sorry to hear of the personal losses he suffered. How cool you were able to try on his sunglasses. I love the Elvis shades, too! Great vlog, Jordan. The first of your Texas vlogs is awesome!

[@jeffkidd7409]

Very cool Jordan. I enjoy listening to Roy Orbison. Great that you guys made this a stop. Often those things in small town go un noticed, but many great things happened in small towns in America! Awesome you were able to try on the glasses. Not something you get to do everyday. Thanks as always for sharing the interesting things you discover with all of us!

[@rhondahill4664]

Love your vlog, I grew up in the 60s n my parents played in a band,n I played drum's,n can remember always playing to him,Patch Cline, thank you for bringing back such good memories that family Life,takes us so far away from our past.

One day you should come during our summers last blast, Cruise Night we have every year at the end of summer the whole town gets into it and we have a lot of classic cars drive down the main road and we pretty much go back in time and the car show starts at our Roy Orbison Park. You’d definitely enjoy it!
