With Roy Orbison, what the world of opera lost, the culture of American pop music gained. Roy was a fantastic writer and performer of his songs. Pity that he had become blind by the end of his life. Whoever was producing and directing the music from Orbison’s early hits displayed a full mastery of essential skills.
roy is a **big** fave of mine...not only for the gifts he gave musically, but for his sweet, humble, vulnerable spirit. love mystery girl written by bono for him.
darkness falls and she will take me by the hand...
...take me to some twilight land
Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov and Ravel for me...Chopin was just awesome...I always preferred him to Mozart tbh...
The Polovitsian Dances by Borodin....aka “Stranger in Paradise”...
A very nice choice.
Ella, what a voice. never misses a note.
