Billy F. Gibbons (Z.Z.Top) : One of the earliest and most specific memories of Roy Orbison's great work set the stage for slow-dancing at Junior High house parties where it found me and my sweetie hugging and listening to his big hit Crying. It was a privilege to meet him years later in his all too brief, brilliant career. He was as gracious a man as you could ever encounter and was delighted to be regaled about my earlier exploits set to his awe-inspiring sounds. A great artist.
