Near the end of his life, (Orbison) became friends with k.d. lang after they recorded his hit single "Crying" (1961) as a duet.
His identification with Wayfarer sunglasses began when he went on tour to England in the early 1960s, and forgot his regular specs. His lenses were prescription, but some fans mistook Orbison for being blind.
Teamed up with Bob Dylan, Beatle George Harrison, Jeff Lynne from Electric Light Orchestra and Tom Petty in the group The Traveling Wilburys.
