Customer Reviews The Best Of The MGM I have everything he ever recorded. I have been a Roy Orbison fan since 1959. In my opinion "Cry Softly Lonely One" was his best MGM album. This will not disappoint. I was well pleased with all of the re-issues of his MGM albums. There was no one like him, What a voice and what a great song writer. Tom Cleary Pine Grove, PA . A must-have for Roy Orbison fans Here we have two great original LP's both from 1966 recorded during the days the terrible tragedy struck Roy's life with the death of his wife, Claudette, on a motorcycle accident. While I wandered through Amazon's Roy Orbison CDs I saw that this twofer of the Edsel series about Roy had not been rated yet something I found the need to do so although I bought it 2 years ago. By the way, the song "Claudette", a hit by the Everly Brothers in 1958, was written by Roy and dedicated to his future wife. With such a loss, the songs of "the Classic Roy Orbison" and "Cry softly lonely one" are true special. Being one of the greatest ballad singer of all times, there are a lot of unforgettable beauties on this reissue from "Losing You" to "It's Time To Cry". One of the songs available, and almost unknown to the public, is "She" which to me is the best song of the whole Roy Orbison's catalogue existing of hundreds and hundreds of recordings from 1958 till 1988. I highly recommend the purchsae of this twofer which together with "Roy sings Don Gibson" is Roy Orbison at his best with that unique and beautifully mastered voice. . .
