After a rockabilly phase with already ambitious lyrics and melodies, Roy Orbison invented a new form of sophisticated rock, with refined and elegant arrangements. This friend and inspiration to both the Beatles and Elvis Presley was a great precursor of the creative explosion of the 1960s and one of the first to give rock an orchestral, lush color. An extraordinary singer, his romantic body of work, deeply original, remains emblematic of the opulent and progressive America of the Kennedy years. His story is evoked here by Bruno Blum in a 28-page booklet.
