Roy Orbison: In Dreams

Rated: NR (Not Rated)

"Roy Orbison is the greatest singer in the world." –Elvis Presley. Roy Orbison: In Dreams is the definitive chronicle of Roy Orbison’s incredible career, told in his own words as only he could tell it. This revealing program includes classic music performance, personal home movies, photos, location footage and interviews with the stars Roy Orbison touched with his music. The remarkable body of work by Roy Orbison is tied not to any one decade, but virtually the entire life span of rock ‘n’ roll. He began his career in the 50’s, a friend and contemporary of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, and scored eight Top Ten hits between 1940 and 1964 with songs like Only The Lonely, Running Scared, Dream Baby, Crying, In Dreams, It’s Over, and Oh, Pretty Woman, becoming one of the only American artists to ride out the British Invasion. He was inducted in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame and joined the Traveling Wilburys alongside Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and George Harrison in the 80’s. In the 90’s, his posthumous album, Mystery Girl, became the biggest selling album of his illustrious career. "In 1975, when I went into 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." – Bruce Springsteen. "His great gift was to turn the pain and bad luck that he experienced into groundbreaking songs. – Bono.
