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.

True dat on Roy Orbison's voice. The man sounds like a gospel organ.

The first time I heard him was the Travelling Wilburys volume 1. Well... I mean, I heard Pretty Woman on the radio before, duh. But the Wilburys album is when I spent time really listening to and appreciating his voice. 

Odd as it may sounds to say of someone with an extraordinary voice, he really shines on backup vocals. Doing "ooohs" or "ahhhhs" in the background.... it really showcases the "gospel organ quality" of his voice.

Oh well, this song is dedicated to Ahriman and the condition he is currently in



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

We may be cool, but we'll never, EVER be Billy Gibbons cool.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

From a little spot down the road.  For every time I wanted the drunks to shut up so I could hear the band, there was a time or two I listened to the drunk talk more than the song.
