Dave Marsh recounts Roy Orbison’s journey and success as a songwriter and vocalist. Big hits such as “Only the Lonely”, “Crying”, and “Sweet Dreams” have shaped Orbison’s popular and influential songwriting and singing style.
Roy Orbison worked with his longtime producer, Fred Foster, with these renowned hits. Fred Foster particularly comments on the storyline of “Only the Lonely” and why “Sweet Dreams” was written and produced.
Bruce Springsteen comments on Orbison’s natural ability to write lyrical and soul touching ballads. Springsteen declares that “Crying” is a sophisticated work that “holds an adult’s emotion, but still has an operatic quality of young people’s emotions.”

The Elvis Presley Podcast - The ‘68 Comeback Special (Part 3)
On October - 8 - 2008
Elvis’ original guitarist, Scotty Moore, and drummer, DJ Fontana, rejoined Elvis to be part of the 68 Comeback Special band. Scotty and TV director Steve Binder recall how the spontaneous acoustic jam segment came together as organically as it looks.
The “sit down” set wasn’t even part of the original plan, but Binder knew he had to add this to the special once he stumbled on a backstage jam session. Although the broadcast only included less than 20 minutes of it, both full “sit down” concert tapings are included in the Complete 68 Comeback box set.
Many fans and critics agree that these “unplugged” sessions feature some of Elvis Presley’s finest recorded live performances. After seeing a screening earlier this year, LA Times TV writer Robert Lloyd wrote, “Elvis sweats real sweat as he sings the old songs with new energy…as raw and real as any performance I’ve ever seen.”
