I never met Roy Orbison, but saw him in concert in Austin, Texas on Auditorium shores music venue, 4 months before his death in 1988. My writing partner and I thought he'd make a great subject for a bio-pic on his life. We got in touch with Barbara Orbison and Joe Melson who owned almost all of Roy's recordings. They were hip about it, so we started writing a screenplay. Along the way, greed instead of need took over and our work was halted. Barbara called me while I was driving, I pulled over and we had a heart to heart about the movie being made. Then SHE died at 60 and her sons took over the project to no avail because of legal bullshit that may never be sorted out. There may still be a picture on his life and I'm sad to say I won't be a part of it. God bless Roy Orbison and his place in music history.

It's a crying shame and sacrilege that Roy's grave isn't marked. No gravestone is big enough to pay tribute to the massive talent, soulful voice and sheer stage presence of Roy. End of the Line by the Travelling Wilburys showed his guitar rocking in the chair as his vocals sounded alongside his picture, which ensured an emotional experience. He was just amazing, I loved him

What's up with all these negative YT vids on how terribly some celebrity's life ended? It's a downer, bringing nothing of value to the table. Bad message to spread. How about celebrating the positives? Enormously talented & influential, for starters, Orbison maintained a calmness & humility that transcended any 'tragedy' he experienced in life. A model for us all. LL

Roy was an icon he sang his way till. The end his life was good nothing like him in the world, l always folowed him magazines newspaper it was a thing, and l could always talk to my gramma, l use to say why did God give him such bad luck, because my gramma said the day he was born God knew what to do, he was a great singer he was well loved and he was a good person sometimes what we think is wrong it's what God thought was right, his luck was no luck because he lost 2 boys l remained 2 wives and both gone, he sang his life away till the day 52 massive heartatack and what killed him broken heart of losing 2, woman and 2 boys, he died it was the. Heart and it was full of tears and sadness and he sang beautiful songs which listen to them forever, he is always an icon his life was shorten but not lost we have alot of yo be thankful for every mornent every song is in our ❤ hearts forever and ever

He did. He was at his mother's house when he passed. I saw him a few days before he died. It was a Saturday night at a club called the Channel in South Boston, Massachusetts. I believe he played there on Friday night too. I said to a friend let's go see Roy cause you never know how much longer he will be touring?? So we went to the Saturday show which was great. And don't you know he died at his mom's house in Tennessee on Mon. Or Tues. I'm so glad I got to see him. What a great talent and voice like no other. I was so happy for him cause he was having so many great things happening. With the Traveling Wilburys and his new solo album that just came out. The Black and White video is just awesome. I was so happy for him. Love his music. Sad he died so young.

@user-pp4ve6qo1b 5 ай бұрын

@@robertmayer2748 WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Why post nonsense and lies??? Utter bullshit coming out of your so-called brain. Any idiot can find the truth, and it ain't coming from YOU, liar. From Wikipedia: Orbison performed at the Front Row Theater in Highland Heights, Ohio, on December 4, 1988. Exhausted, he returned to his home in Hendersonville to rest for several days before flying again to London to film two more videos for the Traveling Wilburys. On December 6, 1988, he spent the day flying model airplanes with his bus driver and friend Benny Birchfield and ate dinner at Birchfield's home in Hendersonville (Birchfield was married to country star Jean Shepard).[117] After he excused himself to go to the bathroom, Orbison collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, where he died of a heart attack at the age of 52.[118] Have anything to say about that?? Huh?? C'mon smarty pants, give your all and put me in my place. What a dolt.

I love Roy Orbison but one thing I can't stand about this video is linking the MTV poser, mediocre talented and establishment leach , Bruce Springsteen with a true legend and artist such as Orbison. Springsteen bought is way onto Roy's Black & White special and shouldn't have shared the stage with these true legends, such as James Burton. That was an embarrassment.
