VOLUME XXI-NUMBER 51 SEPTEMBER 3. 1960 While listening to a playback of his latest release, Roy Orbison coincidentally strikes a lonely pose that ties in well with his current smash single “Only The Lonely.” The Monument songster, who had shown great promise with many of his past recordings, made his first move on the charts with “Uptown” earlier in the year. Now “Only The Lonely” has established him as one of the leading newcom- ers on wax. Orbison is a twin threat, writing as well as recording hit songs. He penned “Only The Lonely” and is co-author of his latest single “Blue Angel” which has just been released with “Today’s Teardrops” as the coupling. Monument Rec- ords is distributed through the London Record Company.
