Roy Orbison sing, making the voice ring, and I just kept doing it. And I think that somewhere between the time of "Ooby Dooby" and "Only the Lonely", it kind of turned into a good voice." Its success transformed Orbison into an overnight star and he appeared on Dick Clark's "Saturday Night Beechnut Show" out of New York City. When Presley heard "Only the Lonely" for the first time, he bought a box of copies to pass to his friends. Melson and Orbison followed it with the more complex "Blue Angel", which peaked at number nine in the US and number 11
Roy Orbison Jr. He was also the co-writer and co-executive producer of the documentary "Mystery Girl: Unraveled". In 2017 Orbison co-authored the book "The Authorized Roy Orbison" with music journalist Jeff Slate, his two brothers and with research by Marcel Riesco. Orbison became a father in 2016 with the birth of his first son Roy Orbison III, with his wife Asa, whom he married in September 2017. His son was featured playing on a toy guitar and tambourine with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra during a rendition of his grandfather's song "Pretty Woman" in May 2017, at the age of 10 months.
