Was there any rock singer w/ more range than Roy Orbison?

I remember reading Roy's orbituary--it must been his son.

Nick: All three octaves on display in this one. A reviewer made reference to Orbison's range: Echoes of ranchera music offer bittersweet counterpoint from the lulling intro, through the aching verses to a finish that just seems to evaporate.

Here's a live version of the whole song; note the vocal range: link

Thanks, chick. I see Elvis Costello and Springsteen in the video.

Blue Velvet is one campy flick.If Hopper wasn't in it I would have bailed after 20 minutes. The lip sync actor is Dean Stockwell. He and Hopper were drinking and acid buddies.
