His greatest success came with Monument Records between and , when 22 of his songs placed on the Billboard Top 40, including "Only the Lonely", "Crying", and "Oh, Pretty Woman".

Retrieved August 15, American National Biography. Lynne later spoke of the recording sessions: "Everybody just sat there going, 'Wow, it's Roy Orbison!

He died of a heart attack in December that year, at the zenith of his resurgence. His life was marred by tragedy, including the death of his first wife and his two eldest sons in separate accidents. ^[1]

Orbison's vocal instrument bridged the gap between baritone and tenor, and music scholars have suggested that he had a three- or four-octave range.

The combination of Orbison's powerful, impassioned voice and complex musical arrangements led many critics to refer to his music as operatic, giving him the sobriquet "the Caruso of Rock." ^[1]

"What separates Orbison from so many other multi-octave-spanning power singers is that he can hit the biggest notes imaginable and still sound unspeakably sad at the same time.

All his vocal gymnastics were just a means to a powerful end, not a mission unto themselves.

And I think that somewhere between the time of "Ooby Dooby" and "Only the Lonely", it kind of turned into a good voice. Traveling Wilburys. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Roy Orbison didn't just sing beautifully—he sang brokenheartedly." ^[1]
