"Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)" is a 1960 song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. Produced by Fred Foster for Monument Records it became the first major hit for Orbison. As an operatic rock ballad, it was a sound unheard of at the time except It's Now or Never by Elvis Presley, described by the ''New York Times'' as expressing "a clenched, driven urgency".〔 It is seen as a seminal event in the evolution of Rock and Roll. Released as a 45rpm single by Monument Records in May 1960, "Only the Lonely" went to No. 2 on the United States ''Billboard'' pop music charts on 25 July 1960 (blocked by Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry") & No. 14 on the ''Billboard'' R&B charts. "Only the Lonely" reached Number One in the United Kingdom, a position it achieved on 20 October 1960, staying there for two weeks (out of a total of 24 weeks spent on the UK singles chart from 28 July 1960). the personnel who were featured on the original recording included Orbison's session regulars Buddy Harman on drums, Floyd Cramer on piano and Bob Moore on bass with Hank Garland and Harold Bradley on guitar. In 1999, "Only the Lonely" was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004, ''Rolling Stone'' ranked it No. 232 on their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. ==Cover versions== In 1969, country singer Sonny James recorded the song and had a number-one hit on the ''Billboard ''country music charts. In 1996, Rock singer Chris Isaak recorded the song, for his album Baja Sessions.
