Roy Kelton Orbison, born on April 23, 1936, and passed away on December 6, 1988, was a renowned American singer, songwriter, and musician whose remarkable vocal style, intricate song composition, and emotionally charged ballads left an indelible mark on the music world. Critics often referred to his music as operatic, aptly earning him the esteemed nicknames "The Caruso of Rock" and "The Big O." Notably, many of Orbison's songs exuded a sense of vulnerability, a quality that was uncommon in male rock-and-roll performers of his era who often prioritized projecting a masculine image.
