Default Re: Your Song

I found my ages old ELO cassette and brought it along for my OH roadtrip...brought back some memories!

There's a wonderful Orbison tribute on DVD -I think might be from his 1987 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. I've never been able to sit down and watch it in it's entirety...but I've caught most of it here and there.

In regards to anyone singing like Roy...well here's a quote from Bruce Springsteen from the 1987 induction ceremony, which appears on the back cover Roy's 'Legendary Performers' songbook that I have:

"In '75 when I went to the studio to make 'Born To Run', I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan that sounded like Phil Spector, but most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison. Now everybody knows that nobody sings like Roy Orbison." -Bruce Springsteen
