The 1950s Singer Angus Young Called the "Voice of a God"

Angus Young built his reputation as one of the most important guitarists in the history of hard rock. Still, when he talks about the artists he most admires, he often returns to the names he heard growing up. Among them all, there is one singer from the 1950s who holds a special place in his memory. According to the AC/DC guitarist, no one had a voice as impressive as Roy Orbison. Young even stated that Orbison had "the voice of a god", highlighting the power, vocal range and emotional capacity present in his interpretations. Songs like "Only the Lonely", "Crying" and "Running Scared" showed a rare ability to convey emotion without losing technical control. For Angus, Orbison was a unique artist because he could sound powerful and vulnerable at the same time. The singer's influence may not be evident at first glance when looking at AC/DC's aggressive style, but Young has always highlighted that great performers transcend musical genres. For him, Roy Orbison remains one of the greatest vocalists ever to appear in popular music.
