Orbison's unhip underdog look suited his music well, as his lyrics were marked by incredible vulnerability. At a time when rock music went hand-in-hand with confidence and machismo, Orbison dared to sing about insecurity, heartache and fear. His stage persona, which has been described as borderline masochistic, went a long way toward challenging the traditional ideal of aggressive masculinity in rock 'n' roll.

When Van Halen covered "Oh, Pretty Woman" in , rock fans were reminded that gratitude for the song was owed to Orbison.
Orbison died of a heart attack on December 6, His posthumously released comeback album, Mystery Girl , reached No. Although he was only 52 when he died, Orbison lived to see his rightful place in music history restored. Despite his sales, charts and accolades, Orbison is most remembered today as an improbable rock star who put his heart on his sleeve and moved people with his music.
