Only the Lonely: The Life and Artistic Legacy of Roy Orbison by Alan Clayson
With his trademark dark glasses and unmatched vocal range, The Big O was an unlikely, almost unprepossessing, pop hero. Yet he began his climb to the top alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash; commanded an unbroken string of UK hits like Running Scared, Oh Pretty Woman and Cryin' during the heights of Beatlemania; and carried his legend to a completely new audience in the 1980s with the Traveling Wilburys.
In Only the Lonely, the first biography of Roy Orbison since his death, Alan Clayson talks to Orbison's closest friends and fellow musicians to unlock the mystery of a man whose voice and originality helped to mould the image of Rock' n ' Roll.
