Roy Kelton Orbison nació el 23 de abril de 1936 en Vernon, Texas, en el seno de una humilde familia. Desde pequeño, Roy mostró un interés innato por la música y, a la edad de seis años, su padre le regaló una guitarra que desencadenaría una carrera legendaria. Criado en el ambiente rural de Texas, su sensibilidad musical se nutrió de influencias del country y del bluegrass.
Durante su adolescencia, Orbison formó su primera banda, los Wink Westerners, mientras asistía a la escuela secundaria en Wink, Texas. La banda se destacó en el entorno local y comenzó a tener pequeñas actuaciones en programas de radio y televisión regionales. En 1956, la banda cambió su nombre a The Teen Kings y grabó el tema "Ooby Dooby", que captó la atención de Sun Records.
En Sun Records, Roy grabó varios temas que aunque tuvieron éxito moderado no lograron catapultarlo al estrellato. Sin embargo, Orbison no se desanimó. Su paso por Sun Records le permitió aprender y desarrollarse junto a figuras icónicas como Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis y Johnny Cash.
En 1960, Orbison firmó con Monument Records, un momento crucial en su carrera. Con la nueva discográfica, Orbison alcanzó un éxito fenomenal con el sencillo "Only the Lonely (Know How I Feel)". La canción no solo mostró su poderosa voz, sino que también introdujo su estilo distintivo de baladas melancólicas. Este

Barry Gibb/Larry Gatlin
You were a lady - like lady I was a boy running wild
The way that you used everything that god gave you
I gave you my heart like a child, one moment you took me to heaven
Took me back to earth and then before I woke up to the fact I was small you took me back to heaven again
And I remember the Indian summer how you held me, how you loved me (Loved me loved me)
The world may give me a million reasons but reasons don't make it wrong
Every lesson I learned has a price in return I was lost in my youth and to tell you the truth
I was empty and you filled me with a glow of love a loving loves may die
Just to hear you that sees me through, oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
So many hearts have been broken (Dum Dum Dum Dum-by Do Wah)
You had no trouble with mine like a fool I was there for the taking (but then)
It was only a matter of time you can lie in the sun with the warm wind blowing
Just knowing you've already paid but you can't live alone in an Indian Summer at 110 in the shade
And I remember (and I remember) The Indian Summer
How you held me in the moonlight
We were riding along on a silver dream never dreaming it off our head
and if I'd known I'd lose you the moment I found you I'd love you all over again
Cos I'm still empty (I'm still empty) Come fill me ( Come fill me)
With a fire of love your flame will follow flame Cos it's all I want to do
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you
Oh what I'd give to re-live all the Indian Summers with you-oooooooooooooooooo
