Did you know today is Roy Orbison's birthday?

The Big O would have turned 87 today (April 23) had he still been living.

Yes

No

I heard this on Saturday. He gave one of his last performances in the city where I used to work, in fact the venue was right behind our building. Now I wish I had gone to see him.

I did not know that today is his birthday. Wow, so he would be 87! He was a great singer.

Same age that Elvis Presley would be, I believe.

I watched a documentary on his career last month. I didn't know it would have been his birthday though.

[ArrowheadSW]

@douride2 Where did you find the documentary? I'd like to see that.

[douride2]

@ArrowheadSW I think it was on PBS.

@douride2 Was it the one that had Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen?

[douride2]

@exitseven Yes I do believe that was what I saw.

[exitseven]

@douride2 I though it was well done. It was in black and white which gave it a retro feel.

[douride2]

@exitseven Yes when I first started watching I thought it was an older show.

Who is that?

[llorando]

One of the greatest singers of all times.

[Guy13]

That’s why…. I do Business numbers and you do notes. My instrument has a different rhyme and rhythm than yours.

[Likes2drive]
