About this album
The Great Songs Of Roy Orbison is a strong compilation that showcases the singer’s gift for dramatic, heartbroken rock’n’roll. Released in 1970, it draws together songs from the period when Orbison’s soaring tenor and widescreen melodies made him one of popular music’s most distinctive voices. His blend of pop, rock and country feeling gave even the toughest heartbreak material a theatrical sweep, helping define the emotional intensity that later generations would admire. With songs such as Breakin’ Up Is Breakin’ My Heart and Ride Away, the collection offers a concise portrait of an artist whose influence remained immense long after his chart peak.
