James Burton (Ricky Nelson and Elvis' guitar player). Roy showed up at Graceland one morning. He had written a song for Elvis. They wouldn't get him out of bed so Roy said "the heck with this, I'll do it myself": "Only the Lonely". When Elvis' was asked why he didn't cover it he replied "Once Roy has done a song nobody can do it any better".No that was the first time. I loved it! I wonder who all those musicians were. It reminded me of playing on stage in cigarette smoke FILLED bars.
He has one of the most unique and beautiful voices!
Check out Chris Isaak (who I could listen to all day) covering some of Roy's songs. Like Roy he has great voice range!
