Roy Orbison one of the best male voices ever

Chris Isaak is a decent imitator.

In Dreams: The Greatest Hits [Virgin, 1987]

From the reunited Everlys to Chuck Berry on Mercury, rerecorded best-ofs such as this seldom deliver magic or chops. The youthful buoyancy that kept the melodrama from getting soggy is in short supply with comparatively little tradeoff in the standard interpretive nuance. A quarter century later, his voice still socks and soars, and even if it's clear that on some songs only the artyfact will do ("Crying", "Running Scared", and "In Dreams"), nobody who wasn't there will swear to the authenticity of these marginally more tasteful recreations. After all, just how great were his hits anyway? Crowning him rock's first neurotic is as overwrought as damning Donald Duck for a protofascist--pop-rock (cum countrypolitan) self-pity has its own conventions and he is their slave. As a heretic who was there, and as someone who's not sure that Phil Spector was good for rock-and-roll, I'll stick with the artyfacts. They're certainly no worse. And versions you don't need. B

16 Biggest Hits [Monument/Legacy, 1999]

Not counting imports, there are now 13 best-ofs on 10 labels by this opera singer from the wrong side of the oil rig. Unless you worship Scott Walker, rockabilly, or both (a big unless), you need precisely one of them. There's no Sun ooby-doobie-booby here, just 16 of the 20 tracks on All-Time Greatest Hits of You-Know-Who, where you pay a buck apiece for four expendables, including Roy's third hit, which peaked at 27 while the other four went 2-9-1-2, wonder why. Here you get what you want: amazing vocal range, a beat that would give Scott Walker lumbago, the mystic miracles "Blue Bayou," "Only the Lonely," and "In Dreams," lesser product slow and fast, and one of the greatest records ever made: "Oh, Pretty Woman."

Eddy Arnold, Ray Price, Sonny James, Righteous Brothers , Everly Brothers...

Maybe not as smooth but all the same style.

>>74676916
Traditional pop and rockabilly, a small facet of the 50s. Don't say "everyone".

>>74675999
Did he have pipes?

>>74677518
You could say they were serious.
