Still on all things digital music, and confirmation yesterday that the back catalogue of Roy Orbison will finally be available online. Orbison Records, who administer the catalogue of the legendary singer's music, have confirmed a deal which will make tracks available via both iTunes and the official Orbison website - http://www.royorbison.com.
Roy's widow Barbara, who runs Orbison Records, told reporters this week: "Roy Orbison is a true American icon. Elvis Presley considered him the greatest singer on earth. During his career Roy produced hit songs in every decade from the 1950's until today. I have long been a believer in the benefit of legal downloads as a powerful distribution tool for Roy's music. Our relationship with iTunes makes it easier for Roy's fans to access his music, rediscover his hits, plus find those rare tracks that true fans crave."
