“It was a particularly close friendship too. We became like brothers right from the start… and we stayed that way until the end.”
-Johnny Cash talking about Roy Orbison
Roy Orbison’s dear friend Johnny Cash passed away ten years ago today. Here is one of our favorite photographs of Roy, Johnny, and his wife June Carter Cash taken by Barbara Orbison.
Roy Orbison married Barbara Jakobs on March 25, 1969 in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Barbara Orbison would become not only Roy’s wife and mother to sons Alex and Roy Jr, but also Roy’s manager and producer.
The two would have been married for 44 years today!
