Roy Orbison - Greatest Hits DVD

NEW YORK (Eagle Rock Entertaiment press release) - Eagle Rock Entertainment brings together some of the greatest performances by arguably the most unique singer/songwriter in the history of popular music with the release of Roy Orbison-- Greatest Hits, on DVD. Roy Orbison may not have had the gyrating hips of Elvis to attract fans, but what he did have was a voice so emotional that his audience would sit in total silence to savor every note he sang, with his semi-operatic vocal range complimenting his song writing talent to perfection. This special DVD features unique performances including "Only the Lonely", "Blue Bayou", "It�s Over", and "Pretty Woman". Special features include the music videos for "She�s A Mystery to Me" and "Crying" (featuring k.d. lang).

Throughout his career, Orbison toured with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis recorded his songs, among others. Orbison�s influence in the music business continued even after he suffered a fatal heart attack in December 1988, the same day You Got It was released. The album Mystery Girl was released shortly after his death, as well as a duet version of "Crying" with k.d. lang.

Orbison earned many top honors during his successful music career, winning his first Grammy for the 1980 duet with Emmylou Harris, "That Lovin� You Feelin� Again". In 1987, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, The Traveling Wilburys invited him to join the group, earning him another Grammy in 1989 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. He was awarded yet another Grammy in 1990 for Best Pop Vocal Performance for "Pretty Woman". The music industry recognized Orbison�s contributions by bestowing upon him the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.
