Orbison has been a favourite since I was 17. That was the year I saw him in person (1964) Not what I'd call a riveting stage presence. In fact he looked quite unwell, but that voice! Imo easily the best voice in popular music of his generation.
His duet of Crying with k d lang still thrills me. Her solo cover is amazing.
Imo, the song which best illustrates his vocal range is 'The Crowd'. Be really interested to learn about any of his songs which you think do a better job of showing his range.
