This biography reveals the rock music legend's dramatic life story, from his Texas youth and rise to stardom to his personal tragedies and untimely death.
A true legend of American popular music, Roy Orbison perfected the soulful rock ballad, recording such perennial hits as "Only the Lonely" and "Crying." In Dark Star, biographer Ellis Amburn reveals the stories behind his achingly beautiful sound. Amburn explores Orbison's rockabilly roots, his first deal with Sun Records, and his numerous Billboard Top 40 hits.
Amburn then delves into the personal tragedies, including the sudden deaths of his wife and two of his children, that led to his obscurity. His return to stardom is also covered in detail, including his work with the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and his posthumous hit single "You got It."
