Roy Orbison had a tragic personal life. His first wife Claudette (of the Everly Brothers' song - the b-side to 'All I Have To Do Is Dream' - and who he married twice) was killed instantly in a road accident in 1966.
Two years later, whilst on tour in the UK, Roy's house in Tennessee burned down, killing his two eldest sons.
Dwight Yoakam said of him, "the cry of an angel falling backward through an open window."
Quite.
R.I.P. Lefty...
