Following “Oh, Pretty Woman”, Roy Orbison appeared for a tour in Australia in 1965, the year one of the greatest singers of all time endured some upheavals. He and his wife Claudette divorced in November 1964, but the two reconciled and got back together 10 months later. His contract with Monument was expiring in June 1965. While on tour again in the UK in 1965, Orbison broke his foot falling off a motorcycle in front of thousands of screaming fans at a race track; he performed his show that evening in a cast. But for now, enjoy this rare interview with the man, without sunglasses, too.

It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers.

Stewart Copeland: Where The Gods Live Mini Doc Is A Must-See For Musicians
Reverb had the opportunity to visit legendary composer and musician Stewart Copeland at Sacred Grove Studios. Their conversation began discussing his work as a drummer, for which he’s internationally known due to his work in The Police, but soon branched out to discuss his background in jazz, his adventures (and misadventures) uncovering rhythmic mysteries in Africa, and his work as a composer for film and ballet.

“There’s not much connection between playing drums and writing music, oddly. Playing drums is an instinctive, elemental participation in something. Composing is looking inside your mind and conjuring up something and creating a piece of music. Playing drums is an experience, it’s not a composition, it’s not an intellectual exercise. It’s something that you’re doing, and you feel it as you do it.”
