Before his trademark dark glasses and “Oh, Pretty Woman” made him a legend, Roy Orbison was a regular performer along Rock 'n' Roll Highway 67. As a recording artist with Sun Records in the 1950s, he was among the musicians who thrilled young audiences in northeast Arkansas. A native of west Texas, he began his musical career singing the cowboy songs of Roy Rogers and others, then moved into the growing rock 'n' roll scene and earned the notice of Sam Phillips at Sun. After signing with the label, he scored an early hit with "Ooby Dooby." Later in his career, the dark glasses he wore helped his very poor eyesight, but during his performances on Rock 'n' Roll Highway 67 he removed his thick glasses before taking the stage because he thought that would be more appealing to the girls in the crowd, and he often had to be led to his microphone. This created a dangerous situation at the Skylark Drive-In at Pocahontas, where singers performed atop the concession stand roof and he needed help to avoid falling from the slippery edge. Orbison and his band, the Teen Kings, are credited with originating a dance called "The Bug," in which they pretended to throw a bug onto one musician, who danced as if it were crawling on him, then passed the "bug" from one band member to another to the crowd's delight. Remembered for his distinctive and haunting tenor voice, he was also an outstanding guitarist who often backed up other artists in studio recordings. His biggest hits came after he left Sun Records and its rockabilly style in 1958, including "Only the Lonely," "Dream Baby," "Crying," "Blue Bayou," and "It's Over." He later enjoyed a career resurgence in the 1980s as a performer with other rock legends, including George Harrison, in the Traveling Wilburys.
