Roy Orbison was an amazing and pioneering musician, and he is sorely missed. His influence continues though, and I think he was a natural pick for the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Has anyone seen his display there? I work for Positively Cleveland, and we’re getting the word out about the Rock Hall. I highly encourage all music fans to check it out. You can start on our website: http://www.positivelycleveland.com/visiting/things_to_do/cleveland_rocks/rock_hall. There are a lot of awesome upcoming events so it’s totally worth looking into!
Hope I haven’t overstepped my bounds by leaving this comment; just working to let people know about what Cleveland has to offer! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to Email me

To: Roy
I have loved your music and singing style since I was a teenager. We have been blessed with your talent for many years. You and “The King” (Elvis) have always been at the top of my “Hit List”. I am sorry we have been deprived of your (future) songs since you passed. You are sorely missed on the music scene…Blu
To Roy & Family, I followed Roy’s career starting as a teenager being only a few years younger than Roy. I got to meet Roy in between concerts in Cinti, Oh. in 1976 and attended his last concert in Cinti, Oh. on Aug. 1988, shortly before his death. All the great things said about him are true and his talent and music speak for themselves. He as a person and his work are greatly missed today. God Bless. TLC Cinti,Oh.

I have followed your singing voice untill God took you home where I am sure you and Elvis both sing yet today, I have sung your songs all of my life, and will continue to do so untill I am called to sing for God also. What a very sad day when you passed, I will love that beautiful voice forever and hope that one day I will be able to hear you singing in heaven, with the Angels. May you rest in peace now, you still have many fans that love and miss you and that hevenly voice.
