REMINISCING ... ROY ORBISON

Roy Orbison and Pat Boone both attended North Texas State University.
 
Roy Orbison never performs without wearing sun glasses. This habit began in 1964 when the English press reported this as Orbison's trademark. 
 
Orbison played the lead role of Johnny Banner in the 1967 Civil War movie The Fastest Guitar Alive.

Orbison has the unique distinction of having toured with both Elvis Presley and The Beatles when both were just beginning their careers. He has also toured Australia with The Beach Boys and the United States with The Eagles. 
 
Tragedy was a part of Orbison's early career. Two of his sons died in a fire (196S) just two years after his wife Claudette died in a motorcycle accident (1966).
