I bought my first Roy record while in high school--a long time ago. I had his early SUN recordings (Ooby Dooby)and the first LP on Monument. He came to Escanaba for the UP State Fair in 1960. He could sing. Early on in his recording life Mickey sounded a bit like Roy, and Mickey's songs fit with Roy's voice and style. Fortunately, there are lots of recordings so Roy's performances live on-- and a great DVD called "Black & White Nights" with Roy and numerous guests (Springsteen, Waits, Raitt etc). He will not be forgotten.
