Questions
Someone added that Roy Orbison recorded with John Lennon. I never heard of that and it is not in any list I could find. Perhaps the person who posted this could provide details....DW
My source records that Roy died while visiting his mother in Hendersonville, not in Nashville Tiles 08:01 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)
I think Roy Orbison´s voice is the best that I´ve ever heard. I would know if there exists a Roy Orbison fans club. I´m from Argentina. Un saludo pa´ Chechito que me está mirando.
Did Grady Lee Orbison die in Henderson, Tennessee; Henderson County, Tennessee; or Hendersonville, Tennessee? These are three separate places, which do not border each other. Orange Mike
I imported the article Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night from Wikinfo. Someone familiar with it might want to add an appropriate link here.—Eloquence 08:54, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
No biggie, but I was in the supermarket yesterday and they were playing the usual music, I believe the technical term is "horrid 80s caterwauling" when suddenly on came something by Roy from the Travelling Wilburies and I was at peace. Ortolan88 18:26, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
That Elvis Presley called Orbison "The Greatest Singer in the World" is mentioned twice in this article. The 2nd reference is more informational, IMO...
- OK, I used the 2nd reference to replace the 1st one in the paragraph with other artists' compliments.

Request for references
Hi, I am working to encourage implementation of the goals of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. Part of that is to make sure articles cite their sources. This is particularly important for featured articles, since they are a prominent part of Wikipedia. Further reading is not the same thing as proper references. Further reading could list works about the topic that were not ever consulted by the page authors. If some of the works listed in the further reading section were used to add or check material in the article, please list them in a references section instead. The Fact and Reference Check Project has more information. Thank you, and please leave me a message (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Taxman&action=edit§ion=new) when you have added a few references to the article. - Taxman 17:19, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
Editing?
I think this article needs to be copy-edited for comma usage (not enough). There are definitely places that seem to need a comma. --Anderal 01:29, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
FARC
Unless the below objections are adressed, this article will be removed from FA list: Brilliant prose relic. Inadequate lead (see Wikipedia lead). Half of the article are lists. Stub and bulleted 'Achievements' section. Single general reference (see Wikipedia:Cite sources). It wouldn't pass FAC today. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 09:30, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
