This program is a celebration of the effortlessly cool five-time Grammy-winning singer. Roy Orbison’s career and close relationships with other musicians are charted through interviews and archive performances, some of them never before seen in America. 

From the sell-out international tour with The Beatles through his collaboration with George Harrison and The Traveling Wilburys, Orbison’s captivating legacy endures.
