Roy Orbison, nicknamed "The Big O", was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his powerful, emotive voice, complex song structures, and dark, emotional ballads. 

He achieved significant success in the early 1960s with hits like "Only the Lonely", "Crying", and "Oh, Pretty Woman". 

His career saw a resurgence in the late 1980s with the supergroup Traveling Wilburys and a new solo album. 

Tragically, on December 6, 1988, Orbison died of a heart attack at his mother's home in Hendersonville, Tennessee; he was 52 years old.

Bruce Springsteen wisely observed, 'Everyone knows no one sings like Roy Orbison'.
