Then during the golden years of `60-`64 he scored nine Top 10 hits with "Only The Lonely", "Running Scared", "Dream Baby", "Pretty Paper", "Crying", "In Dreams", "Falling", "It's Over" and "Oh Pretty Women". Roy Orbison was the only outstanding American artist to ride out the British Invasion. He toured with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, whilst suffering the personal tragedies of the death of his wife and two sons. In the `70s he was reduced to play at clubs until his reputation began to soar via covers of his earlier works by Linda Rondstat, Emmylou Harris and Don McLean. Finally, through his renaissance in the `80s with The Travelling Wilburys, his star shone strongly and brightly until his untimely death in 1988.
