Roy Orbison would've been 76 years old today. I don't know about the rest of you, but I still get tingles up my spine listening to that voice of his. From his early days of revolutionizing the structure of a rock n' roll song so that it didn't always have to be verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus, to his final days jamming with fellow rock legends in The Traveling Wilburys, old Roy's crooning voice still rings across the airwaves as a staple of American music history.
I've always loved this video, and the tribute they paid to Roy posthumously with the guitar in the rocking chair.

A bit of trivia also...Roy Orbison was born on April 23rd, the same day as William Shakespeare, who also died at the age of 52.
