...-recording, which I love because Zach will quite happily sing along with me in the car. 'Too soon' to know is the original 1966 recording. Although, in 1996, when I got the album, it was not the in thing to have DVD extras on music CDs, this CD has a 'hidden surprise', a song called 'Goodnight'.

I’d like to point out that this review is about show/DVD. It would be an injustice for me to try to give an account of the lifetime achievement of this performer within this review. However, in brief summary, Roy Orbison had string of hits throughout his musical career which spanned from the 50’s through to the 90’s. His earlier personal life however was laced with tragedy, where his first wife Claudette was killed in a motorcycle accident, and he later lost two sons in a fire which burned down his home. After believing he would never find happiness again, he eventually remarried some years later, to his second wife Barbara, whom he lived with up until his untimely death.. He sadly died aged 52 of a massive... Read review
