time for him at the same time.

When Roy was there, we had a saturday night stage show, and

at the Saturday night stage show, there were two guys from the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity

that had

a little song that just drove

the whole

audience ...

They were just crazy about it.

this song was called "Ooby Dooby."

Singing: "Hey baby, jump over here. When you do the Ooby Dooby, I just gotta be near! Ooby Dooby ..."

And Roy

started hanging out at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity

because he wanted to get their permission to record that song.

And that did turn out to be

the impetus, if you will,

for Roy's career.

Roy Orbison speaking:

I made a demonstration record called "Ooby Dooby"

and uh...

sent that thing to Sam Phillips in Memphis, Tennessee.

He asked me could I be there in three days

and so I grabbed my group together and we made the record.

Sam Phillips

recorded

"Ooby Dooby" for Roy, and he told him,

"Roy, go get you

a Cadillac."

Roy comes back to North Texas on Cloud 9. One of our

classmates,

Priscilla Vincent, told me that Roy

drove up to her in this white Cadillac and said,

"Priscilla, you need a ride?"

She said, "Where did you get that car?" He says

I just recorded

"Ooby Dooby" in Memphis, and we're going to open a tour

of the western United States

for the Everly Brothers.

Roy

would be, I think,

very

humbled and honored

that North Texas

would be recognizing him at this point in time.

He could not have imagined that when

he was at North Texas
