Roy Orbison Quote on Elvis

January 9, 2015 by admin

“Elvis Presley was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business. We got to be great friends and kindred souls.” -Roy Orbison
