Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison (1936 – 1988), nicknamed 'The Big O' was an hugely influential singer-songwriter, guitarist, and a pioneer of rock and roll whose recording career spanned more than four decades.

By the mid-1960s Orbison was internationally recognized for his ballads of lost love, rhythmically advanced melodies, characteristic dark sunglasses, and his taut, powerful alto voice coupled with his occasional distinctive usage of falsetto, typified in songs such as Only The Lonely, In Dreams, Oh, Pretty Woman, Crying and You Got It.

Elvis Presley once said Orbison had the best singing voice he'd ever heard and wanted to sing with him if he had the chance. In 1987 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and posthumously in 1989 into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. ~ Wikipedia
