NESTE MESMO DIA ... 26 ANOS ATRÁS No dia 6 de Dezembro de 1988 alou-se a melhor voz que o Rock conheceu; nunca, antes ou depois, alguém cantou como ele. The Rolling Stone History of Rock and Roll: his love, his life, and, indeed, the whole world [seem] to be coming to an end—not with a whimper, but an agonized, beautiful bang. Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel both commented on the otherworldly quality of Orbisons voice: he came from another world. Dwight Yoakam stated that Orbisons voice sounded like the cry of an angel falling backward through an open window Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees went further to say that when he heard Crying for the first time: That was it. To me that was the voice of God. Bob Dylan marked Orbison as a specific influence, remarking that there was nothing like him on radio in the early 1960s: With Roy, you didnt 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... He was 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 ... His voice could jar a corpse, always leave you muttering to yourself something like Man, I dont believe it ! Tim Goodwin, who conducted the orchestra that backed Orbison in Bulgaria, had been told that Orbisons voice would be a singular experience to hear. When Orbison started with Crying and hit the high notes, Goodwin stated: The strings were playing and the band had built up, and sure enough, the hair on the back of my neck just all started standing up. It was an incredible physical sensation.
