Roy Orbison: The Soul of Rock & Roll
Apr 29 – Nov 28 Mondays–Fridays (11:30am–7:30pm) Saturdays–Sundays (10am–7:30pm) @ GRAMMY Museum at LA Live Best recognized around the world for his otherworldly voice and black sunglasses, Roy Orbison was both Rock & Roll pioneer and prototypical singer-songwriter, beginning with his first high school band (The Wink Westerners) and shifting into mass consciousness in the 1960s with a string of singles for the Monument label that defined an artist and helped launch a label. Bringing together more than 40 diverse artifacts, rare photographs and more, the exhibit features items from the private collection of Orbison’s widow, Barbara and family.
