Today is a big day in the continuing legacy of Roy Orbison.
Alex Orbison will be on hand today as the University of North Texas honors Roy with a Distinguished Alumni Award.
“North Texas always held a special place in our father, Roy Orbison’s, heart,” Orbison’s sons, Alex and Roy Orbison Jr., said in a statement. “His time at UNT helped develop such a truly unique talent, and it was one of the cornerstones preceding a remarkable music career.”
