Roy Orbison begins a week of shows at The Variety Club, Batley, England, UK, Europe. During this week, he will meet German student Barbara Annemarie Wellhonen Jakobs in a Leeds' nightclub. They will later marry.Full article:
Barbara Orbison : Roy was in England from July until September which was when the house fire at his home happened. I was a student and I had a friend who was at architecture college in Leeds, and that’s why I was there.
He had a concert somewhere that night but we met in a discotheque. We didn’t dance, though, we just talked.
It was a terrible time for him though, because just a few weeks later he was going to play a show in Southern England when he heard about the fire at his home in Nashville and he flew straight back.
