    "Anything at all---???"

    When he sang. He sang. Vibrato and all, his tenor carried his songs.

    I don't know him much outside of "Pretty Woman" and the Traveling Wilburys, but he was a good singer.

    I just played the riff to Pretty Woman the other night. We do Dwight Yoakam's Fast As You and at the end, I throw in that riff because it's very similar. Kind of like the Day Tripper riff at the end of In The City on HFO.

    Miley Cyrus does a great version of Roy's It's over. It's pretty dang good and I didn't think she could sing well...

    I do not like the way she presents herself but her voice on that song was great, IMO.
