July 25, 1960 –
When The Everly Brothers and Elvis Presley decided not to record his tune, Roy Orbison decided to record the song Only the Lonely himself. It reach reached the No.2 spot on the US Billboard’s singles chart on this date.
The song was subtitled “Know The Way I Feel” to avoid confusion with another song called Only The Lonely, which Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen had written for Frank Sinatra in 1958.
