Roy Orbison was one of the true pioneers of rock and roll and one of the greatest singers to ever record rock, pop or country music. In celebration of his legacy, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum created an exhibit highlighting different aspects of his career and personal life. Orbison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, a nonprofit museum dedicated to collecting, preserving and interpreting the historical significance of modern music, will honor the legacy of Roy Orbison with an exhibit opening in April. The gallery will feature an intimate display of artifacts directly from the Roy Orbison archives. Handwritten lyrics, rare records, stage clothing, business documents and photographs will illustrate the life and work of one of the most enigmatic performers in rock and roll history.
Elvis Presley once said Orbison had the best singing voice he'd ever heard and wanted to sing with with him if he had the chance. In 1987 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and posthumously in 1989 into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
