A prolific and timeless songwriter, U2 front man Bono once commented about Roy Orbison, “The thing people don't talk about enough as far as I'm concerned is how innovative this music was, how radical in terms of its songwriting. As I become more interested in songwriting, you hit a wall where Roy Orbison is standing."

Roy Orbison was one of the few established hit-makers from the late 1950s and early 1960s whose popularity rivaled the British Invasion.  He maintained his popularity through music which displayed an extraordinary variety of themes, structure, tempo and rhythm and an authentic, emotional connection that transcended mere craft - just listen to Roy Orbison’s signature classic, "Oh, Pretty Woman,".  The song became Roy's biggest hit and is one of the most recognized and popular songs of all time. Released in August 1964, the song hit the #1 slot in virtually every country in the world where people had record players, selling some seven million copies that year.

Roy’s songs have been performed or recorded by such diverse artists such as The Beatles, Celine Dion, U2, KD Lang, Cyndi Lauper, Credence Clearwater Revival, Linda Ronstadt, Nazareth, and The Everley Brothers just to name a few.   Several cover albums by the Roy Orbison estate have also been released showcasing original cover versions by indie artists spanning generations, countries, genres and styles.

The list of Roy Orbison songs that Casablanca represents is an extensive list of hit songs that have become part of popular culture and include:

Only The Lonely

In Dreams

Oh, Pretty Woman

Blue Bayou

Running Scared

Casablanca Media Publishing Inc. hosted a songwriters' retreat at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville Ontario. Co-sponsored by SOCAN, fifteen songwriters from Casablanca, Universal, Sony, EMI and the independent songwriting sector, collaborated over three days to create and record sixteen amazing, diverse and synch-friendly songs (listen to some of them in our Featured Audio Clips section).

In addition to the songs born out of collaborating with like-minded, talented people, the songwriters were also given the choice of writing to task for specific upcoming commercials, network television series episodes and promotions that Casablanca had received through discussions with music supervisors from the US and Canada. "The songwriters were excited that there was a sync-driven focus to the retreat", said Jana Cleland, Director of Music Publishing at Casablanca. "It really helped to fuel and focus their creativity, and as a result they wrote some really fantastic songs that will have a long life in commercials, TV and film and will also be covered by artists."

The event was wrapped by live performances, as well as some hot dancing moves, at an industry showcase in Toronto at the Gladstone Hotel. The incredible collaborations marked the beginning of some great writing teams that will be creating more future chart toppers.

I was very impressed by the debut album of Brandon Chandler and his band, The Revival, titled After All This Time. The album is a very catchy and soulful tracklist of summery tunes, like something you’d hear gracing the background at the neighborhood backyard barbecue. Chandler’s voice is reminiscent of the vocal style of Jason Mraz and Ray LaMontagne, and as a big fan of those aforementioned artists, I found Chandler and his band’s work equally appealing. He has a bluesy, feel-good vibe, paired with beautifully written lyrics and excellent guitar sound. I loved the diversity of instruments used, from guitars to pianos to organs, all mashed together into the wonderful harmony of sweet-sounding soul.
