The first songs they played were “Kaw-liga”, “Mexican Joe”, “Caribbean”, and “Under the Double Eagle”.
They were invited to tour West Texas with R. They learned some more tunes in a rush practicing at the Community Center, and started getting paid for what they liked doing. The pay for that gig was as good as a hard working week’s pay, so they agreed to do it even though they only knew 4 or 5 songs.

Roy asked Johnny for advice on how to get a record released and Cash gave him Sam Phillips telephone number in Memphis. Johnny Cash and also Elvis Presley came in town to perform around this time and appeared on Roy’s TV show. They got a second weekly local TV show on Saturdays from 4:30 to 5 PM on KOSA-TV, Odessa, Channel 7, which was part of the national CBS network. With a couple of new members they renamed themselves “The Teen Kings” as they were playing more and more Rock and Roll. Soon, the band moved in together to a duplex in Walnut Street in Odessa.
The single was released two weeks later circa March 19, 1956. This time, Roy and The Teen Kings, recorded The Clover’s “Trying to Get to You” and “Ooby Dooby”. Roy was anxious to take Rogers and Oliver up on their offer and Je-Wel’s first recording session was hastily arranged for Maat Norman Petty Studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
The guy on the other side of the line asked him to send him a copy. “Poppa” Hollifield liked the record and played it on the phone to one of his connections in Memphis. He was a well-know record dealer in West Texas.

The songs, the production, and the performance were key factors. The follow-ups, “Blue Angel” and “I’m Hurtin”, were cloned too closely from “Only the Lonely”, and it took another few tries for Orbison and Melson to come up with something special.That next magical success was “Running Scared”, and it climbed all the way up to number 1 in the USA.A few things contributed to Roy Orbison’s success. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Charts and became number 1 in the UK.The challenge to consolidate “Only the Lonely” was a difficult one. It had strings as opposed to fiddles, which were not very common in Nashville.The third single for Fred Foster’s Monument label was “Only the Lonely”, which became the first song that truly probed the frightening potential of Roy Orbison’s voice, and established his uniqueness.
