Originally released in 1960, this album marked Roy Orbisons first taste of superstardom. After experiencing only marginal success with Sun Records and RCA, Orbison moved over to Fred Fosters fledgling Monument Records in 1959, and thats when the big hits started rolling in. In 1960 alone, Orbison had two Top Ten hits with Only The Lonely and Blue Angel (both found on this LP), followed by six more over the next four years (and culminating in 1964 when his Oh, Pretty Woman made him a living legend).
