    Elvis was in awe of Roy and respected him so much.
    When Elvis was asked what it was like to have such a great voice" he replied "I don't know, you need to ask Roy Orbison that question"
    He never sang one of Roy's songs.
    His dream was to be able to sing like Roy.
    Roy had such a tragic life in reality xx

      Just outstanding (as is this channel). Forget Spotify, I'll just listen to this! This song showcases Roy's incredible range. There are few who could surpass him (except Freddy of course). It's my second favourite Roy Orbison song (if you exclude the Traveling Wilburys "Handle With Care") - my favourite has to be "Everything You Want (You Got It)". I didn't know Jeff Lynne produced this song but it makes perfect sense. Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison - such outstanding talents and sorely missed. As for ELO - come on Jay and Amber - review "Hold on Tight" (czcams.com/video/UkekqVPIc2M/video.html ) please!

    Roy Orbison was considered to be one of the best singers who ever lived. There are so many Tunes that you need to hear. He was the master of expressing what it's like to have your heart broken. Only the Lonely, crying, it's over, Running Scared just too many to list. You can never go wrong with Roy orbison. Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to him on the first song of the Born to Run album, Thunder road, when he sang, "Roy Orbison sings for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only." Later in his career, Bruce got to play with Roy which I can't even imagine what it was like for him. You can see it on the video of the concert film a black and white night, where so many of the great artists of the day joined him for a tribute concert.

      Roy didn't write the song. "I Drove All Night" is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and originally intended for Roy Orbison. Orbison recorded the song in 1987, the year before his death, but his version was not released until 1992. John Waite recorded the song in 1987 as well but decided not to release it.

    At the time of his death, Roy Orbison had just started working on a new album with Rick Rubin, the producer responsible for Johnny Cash's last albums that gave us Johnny's song "The Man Comes Around" and his cover of "Hurt." Those albums sparked a resurgence of interest and appreciation for Johnny Cash in the last years of his life, and Rubin most likely would have done the same for Roy Orbison. Tragically, Roy passed away before work on the album really began, leaving us all wondering what magic Rubin might have worked for Roy at the twilight of his life.

    Roy wore glasses but when he went on tour to the U.K. In the early 1960’s he accidentally left them on the plane. He still had his prescription sunglasses with him so he was forced to wear them to his concert and they were a big hit so he wore them ever since. Also a big headliner like Roy would usually have an opening band. Which band do you suppose was lucky enough to open for him? The Beatles!

    Roy had a wonderful voice. My favourite song of his is Mystery Girl - written by U2, I believe.

    Although Roy recorded his version first, Cyndi Lauper's recording was released first, in 1989. Orbison's was posthumously released in 1992. Jason Priestley and Jennifer Connelly are featured in the video.

    In my humble opinion Roy O. had one of the most powerful voices back in the day, matter of all my friends were crazy for Elvis. I was a fan also. When I heard my first song by him on the radio I was blown away. From that day on I preferred listening more to Roy Orbison and another powerful vocalist by the name of Gene Pitney. Still liked Elvis though. 😁

    Funny. There is an artist from Finland called Stig and he has made a Finnish song called Roy Orbison. And the lyrics go something like "And I'm driving all the night... just like Roy Orbison and my heart is pumping wild... " :)

    Amber, good catch on the soaring voice over the driving beat. When he had his incredible run of early 60s hits, you will notice that his voice soars over a backbeat. It’s his sound.

    My personal favourite of Roy's (and the Traveling Wilburys) was "Not Alone Anymore" which IMO never got the recognition it deserved. David Lynch made great use of Roy's "In Dreams" in "Blue Velvet" and Roy's "Black and White Night" film of a concert with a stellar group of performers not long before his untimely death is always a great watch.

    As the daughter of a mother who's a fan of Roy Orbison (I was a bit indoctrinated, lol) I was very happy to see popular actors of that moment, Jason Priestly (teenage soap Beverly Hills 90210) and Jennifer Connelly (film Labyrinth) in this music video. Now you did this song maybe you can also react to the version of Cyndi Lauper. And as well the original song ”Blue Bayou” by Roy Orbison of which you reacted to the cover version by Linda Ronstadt.

  • @brianpowell6058
    @brianpowell6058 Před rokem

    You should watch "Roy Orbison & Friends 1988 A Black and White Night."
    Its a concert given by Roy and lots of really well known musicians, including Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen.
    He had the best ever backing singers in Bonnie Raitt, KD Lang and Jennifer Warnes.
    The group Roy was in was "The Travelling Wilburys."

    I love the reactions you guys do to Roy Orbison's music. In my opinion he was and still is the best singer n pop/rock history. Please do a reaction to Crying, the duet version with Roy and K D Lang. It is one of the most beautiful songs you will ever hear. Both of their voices are incredible in this song and it is like his voice got even better with age. Thank you so much. I love your channel.

    Speaking of driving all night. Bruce Springsteen gave the speech for Roy's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Here is an excerpt from right at the beginning. "In 1970, I rode for fifteen hours in the back of a U-haul truck to open for Roy Orbison at the Nashville Music Fair."
    He had this to say at the end of the speech, regarding his going into the studio to record Born to Run. " I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector’s productions, but most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison. Now, everybody knows that nobody sings like Roy Orbison.”
    Here is an excerpt from his speech: I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector’s productions, but most of all I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison. Now, everybody knows that nobody sings like Roy Orbison.”

    I wish that I can hit the like button on this more than once. As other people have stated, Roy recorded this first, but didn't immediately release it. Cyndi Lauper did a cover of it which he released and it was phenomenal. I remember when I first heard her version of it thinking that this sounded like something. I absolutely give her version my highest recommendation. She goes a different direction with it, and her vocals are kind of smokyy and ethereal. But she also hits those soaring notes that Roy did. You won't be disappointed.

    Elvis famously said that Roy Orbison was the most beautiful voice he ever heard. But much less known, Roys next door neighbor as a teenager made the same statement. His neighbor and child hood playmate was Johnny Cash. Let that sink in.

    As soon as I heard the drums I knew it was Jeff Lynne. That *specific* thundering drum sound is a Lynne trademark and can be heard on "Twilight" by ELO, "Into the Great Wide Open" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and "Free as a Bird" by the Beatles, and you can hear a similar sound on George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You".
