Orbison, though, transcended all the genres - folk, country, rock and roll
or just about anything. His stuff mixed all the styles and some that hadn't
even been invented yet. He could sound mean and nasty on one line and then
sing in a falsetto voice like Frankie Valli in the next. With Roy, you didn'
t know if you were listening to mariachi or opera. He kept you on your toes.
With him, it was all about fat and blood. He sounded like he was singing
from an Olympian mountaintop and he meant business. One of his previous
songs, "Ooby Dooby" was deceptively simple, but Roy had progressed. He was
now singing his compositions in three or four octaves that made you want to
drive your car over a cliff. He sang like a professional criminal. Typically
, he'd start out in some low, barely audible range, stay there a while and
then astonishingly slip into histrionics. His voice could jar a corpse,
always leave you muttring to yourself something like, "Man, I don't believe
it." His songs had songs within songs. They shifted from major to minor key
without any logic. Orbison was deadly serious - no pollywog and no fledgling
juvenile. There wasn't anything else on the radio like him.”
