Did y'all notice Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen behind him on guitar? This was an iconic concert. KD Lang, Jennifer Warner and Bonnie Raitt on background vocals, as well!
Jackson Browne on background, too!
@@brendaschmitt2281 Yes! How could I forget?
On top of all that, that's Elvis Presley's entire live band backing them all up - James Burton on guitar, Glenn D. Hardin on Piano, Jerry Scheff on upright "doghouse" bass, and the late, great Ronnie Tutt on drums.
you have great eyes. Roy was respected by artists from all genres for sure.
"You know what a love letter is?" Great line....
since my wife died of cancer in 2009 , in dreams is the only place i can hold her and tell her i love you
When Elvis Presley says you have the greatest voice ever ! That’s a hell of a compliment that’s what he said about Roy Orbison
I remember getting ready for work one morning in December of 1988, the man on the radio announced that Roy Orbison had died. I stood there and cried, just couldn’t believe he was gone.
I remember that day also, very sad day indeed. 😢
And he died at 52 years old from a heart attack, because he smoked 80 cigarettes a day. He could have lived 20 or 30 years longer, it's hard to believe it's been 35 years since he died. He had the most beautiful voice and his music will live on forever. ❤
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Crying" and "Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)"!!! A one-of-a-kind voice!!
Yep these 2 awesome too!
Yes I agree!
DEFINITELY the KD Lang/Roy Orbison duet on Crying is out of this world, but I also really love KD's version singing it solo. I feel like she holds back a little when she duets with Roy.
I was surprised at Ray Stevens performance of Crying on his 1970 TV show.
Don McLean did a decent cover of it, too.
My mom's favorite Roy Orbison song is Crying. Beautiful song. His vocals in that song make you cry.
The "wiggle" in his voice is called vibrato. I am a tenor (as was Orbison) and have done a tribute act to Roy. He was the inspiration for the term "one-of-a-kind!"
Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn talking about working with Orbison during the Traveling Wilburys sessions were repeatedly shocked at the ease of his vocals being laid down. Several times they thought he was just mouthing the words as a warm up, then on the playback, it was a flawless full power song on the tape.
He was special for sure.
Orbison can hit octaves that other singers can only dream of. His last album before he died is called Mystery Girl. It really is a great album and all you need is to hear 2-3 notes and you know it's him. He's that great and that unique sounding. One of a kind!!
Just love Roy Orbison songs! I still sing them and get teary eyed! “Pretty Woman!” Is a song I enjoy too!
Mystery Girl is such a great album. I love every song. It sounds to me like it would have been his most recent greatest hits collection, but it was all new songs.
@Robert Reichle absolutely, being in the Traveling Wilburys was like a whole new world of inspiration for him. After all you have to compete with your bandmates .. George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty!! What a band,what a singer and what a great album Mystery Girl indeed is!!! Shame he had a heart attack!! Old school but they would thrive in any era!!! Good is still good, be it 1956 or 2026!!!
Mystery girl written by Bono and the Edge. Theres a bizarre story about how it all came about.
@Steve lives didn't know they wrote that but I know so many rockers have orbison on their fav list. Do tell the story please would love to hear about it
If you get a chance, watch the entire Black and White Night concert. His backing band included Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther and T Bone Burnett. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt.
I was coming on here to mention the female background singers. Thank you!!!
I have the CD & the DVD. 😎💞
You also had TCB (Taking Care of Business), arguably the best backing anyone could hope for. James Burton on lead guitar, arguably the best guitarist of all time, Ronnie Tutt on drums and Glenn D. Harding on keyboard. TCB were the backing group to the stars. You knew you had made it to the big league when they backed you. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Emmylou Harris, Frank Sinatra, John Denver, Neil Diamond and many more all had TCB as their band for any live performances.
I still remember watching this on PBS for the first time back in the day and saying "Holy shit!" every time I recognized someone in the band. And seeing BI in the audience...
Amber is describing what we who sing for a living do. We need to switch from chest to head, from low to high register, pretty much immediately. The best singers of pop music do this effortlessly. Why? Because they have been TRAINED that way.
Roy Orbison claimed in interviews that the lyrics for this song came to him in a dream; he wrote the music once he woke up. Typical of many Orbison songs, it's a heartbreaker: asleep at night is the only time he can be with the one he loves, as when he wakes up, she's gone.
Roy has a 5 octave voice. He is one of the best vocalist of all time. Listen to Crying and Running Scared. It will bring tears to your eyes!
Not sure about 5 octaves. But admittedly the man had a range.
Just looked it up. Roy had a 3 octave range.
It's Over is the one!
One of the most beautiful male voices of all time. I'm a forever fan of his.
In 1966 I had the pleasure of watching Roy Orbison sing this song live. It was in Lethbridge, AB, Canada. That was a day I will never forget because I took a 'first date' Adele to the concert with me. It was such a beautiful night, Adelle was flat out beautiful and attractive on every level... and I was nervous as hell not to screw the date up. I had never even seen her this close before, I had only passed her in the hallway at high school and as I recall I had never really noticed her before. Eventually I started hearing that she had eyes for me. And since that's always a welcome piece of gossip... I phoned her and asked her out. And 4 days later here we are. At the Roy Orbison concert.
We heard him actually sing all the way up into that "airy falsetto"... in real time. Holy shit, although it was in 'real time" it was also *unreal*... at the same time. Roy Orbison live was almost a "spiritual" event. Because at some point you start to realize that "I'll never get this opportunity again for the fest of my life to hear Roy Orbison sing 'live'. Sooo........ after the concert I just didn't know how to act with the lovely Adele... So
I took her home. Besides, I was bumming my dad's car and by then it was already ancient. So I took the beauty Adele home and I've never seen her since. I'm sure she's still a freakin' knockout though, LOL Sorry about the not-so-happy ending, but you know how it goes. You're the one freakin' out about it, not me. 🤣 😂 💗
A voice like velvet. RIP Roy - love you.
Blue Velvet.
He truly was the best singer in the world, his music is timeless and will live on forever.
Orbison had the most incredible falsettos! His voice was completely unique. With his 3 octive range he was a master vocalist!! Check out his song "Crying"
I thought it was a 5 octave range
It's 5 Octaves, the average singer has 3
While there is absolutely debate on his octive range (some suggesting it is 5 or even as high as 7) the fact is, when reviewing his full catalog of recorded songs, the range is actually 2.8 octaves.
Song with the LOWEST pitch:
That Lovin' You Feelin' Again (F#2-A4)
Song with the HIGHEST pitch:
Indian Wedding (C3-E5)
@@JohnnyXoz Falsetto is not usually considered a normal range for a singer.
It seems almost insulting to react to this when he was past his prime as it is a whole different song by then.
Mr. Orbison's voice transports you to another planet and it is so soft and relaxing. She rocks your brain. Listen to Leah's song from real candy and an angelic voice that only Mr. Orbison can sing.
The Black and White Night Concert is epic. They assembled a backing band of All-Stars. And what is so cool, they were content to be the backing band. Very little elbowing to steal the spotlight off of Roy. If my memory serves me correctly, Springsteen was there. kd Lang, Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer Warnes, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, T Bone Burnett.
A Black and White Night is an absolutely Legendary concert...not a bad song from all of it...Soo glad you guys have discovered this...Thank you...
Roy had one of the best voices ever. He put all of his emotions into his singing and playing.
“I Drove All Night” is another great one of his right before he died.
Nobody could sing better than Roy ... magical sounds which will last forever
I remember my radio alarm going off Dec 6, 1988. Instead of a song, it was the news that Roy Orbison was gone. I was a senior in high school. I turned off the alarm and cried myself back to sleep. My mom excused me from school, and we listened to his music all day.
Jay, its like watching you falling in love with Roy Orbison. He was wonderful. I've enjoyed watching you and Amber listening to him and your discussions. ❤
Roy's voice was like butter. No one like him since. So effortless and beautiful.
I saw him in concert in Seattle. He was better live than any recording I had ever heard. He only sang for an hour but the review in the paper the next day said that one hour of Roy Orbison is worth three hours of anyone else.
Elvis might have been "big" of the 50s and 60s but to me, Roy Orbison was the greatest singer of our times. Even said, "he was the greatest singer. Why? He had a voice that could do vibrato and sustain the notes even as he changes the notes in the song. He can sustain the vibrato each time. That is what Wing Pegasus who can determine pitch of a voice. He claimed this man was "unique" and strong voice to maintain his talent in vibratos. I love his voice and the higher the notes go you hear his unique talent that not many singers can do what he does. Check out "Blue Angel" as well as the song he wrote that Linda Ronstadt made it her own, "Blue Bayou." Wow - check how Roy Orbison wrote it and sang it to perfection.
This is from the Roy Orbison Black and White Special. The band the singers and Roy are ALL superstars. The list of singers and players are the best of their time.
An amazing voice that the Traveling Wilburies enjoyed his beautiful voice! Tom Petty asked him if he knew he was the best voice there. Roy answered simply yes ❤😂 love this song !❤❤
Well it wasn't Dylan.
'It's over' demonstrates his range even more (imo) - what a voice
Also, check out Travelling Wilburys song “End of the Line”; it’s after Roy had passed away; as a tribute you can see Roy’s guitar in the rocking chair.❤❤
In dreams is absolutely an all time classic, check out the movie Blue Velvet for an entirely different level of appreciation for this song.
Keep up the good work, love you two, love music!
My favorite Roy Orbison song is "Crying". Amazing. Period. You need to do a back to back reaction of Roy singing his song, and KD Lang singing it at the Grammys after Roy had passed. You will have goosebumps that will never go away. KD's performance is one of the greatest I have ever seen in my life.
Roy is a true legend taken from us too soon. Gotta check out "Crying". Few can hit the notes Roy could. His voice ranged from baritone to tenor, and music scholars have suggested that he had a three- or four-octave range.[
“Elvis was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business.
We got to be great friends and kindred souls”
- Roy Orbison
Fondest memories of my Dad singing this to me as a very little girl at night. Hard to hear without getting emotional. I miss him so much.
You have no idea how difficult this song is to sing. I know because I made a tape once with me singing it. Roy had such a wide range! This video is from "A Black & White Night", an iconic concert that was made in the 80s and it features all of Roy Orbison's big hits. It also features an all-star lineup of great musical talent, including Elvis Costello, who you guys were introduced to just yesterday!
And Roy had this range WITHOUT going into falsetto. That's what him so amazing.
Elvis costello haha you must be pissed
Check out joe vari vari on youtube...his cover is utterly godlike!
This was a special tribute to Roy called "A Black And White Night". He was joined by a star studded band of his friends. If you can, watch it. Excellent concert.
I love Roy, and this is my favorite song by him. And I fully agree with the below, Crying (and I'd like to see you react to the version he and kd Lang did together, which is really such a beautiful blend of two wonderful voices) and Only the Lonely are AMAZING songs he did - both wonderful examples of his vocal talents.
She's a Mystery to Me. Dream Baby. You Got It. Only the Lonely. Crying. Love Hurts. Working for the Man. Sounded amazing.
I think his slower songs, like this one, "Running Scared", and "It's Over", are some of his very best. His voice is magnificent. His remake of his own song, "Crying" with kd lang, will bring tears to your eyes. Their voices create a heavenly sound.
As for the question you asked, I prefer *any* other song by Roy over "Pretty Woman". It's been so overplayed, IMO. Great reaction!
There will NEVER be another Roy Orbison, he was so great!!
Roy actually heard the melody for this song while dreaming...hence the name "In Dreams".
All this is done without autotuning. He didn't need any help. His voice covered so many octaves with pinpoint note accuracy, autotuning would have diminished the end result. He was one in a million and his music still is.
Totally live, no effects, no studio stuff, just Roy singing with an orchestra and never missing a note. A legend. If you want to check out more Roy, try and watch more from this video which is from "Black and White Night", he plays all his hits with an all star orchestra behind him (Bruce, Elvis Costello, T Bone Burnett and many more)
As usual, Amber is once again spot on.
Roy Orbison was great. You should definitely check out "Crying" and his breakthrough song "Only the Lonely".
Roy Orbison.
The Incredible singer of stories.
In dreams. Full of Feelings Emotions and Love ❤️.
You absolutely need to listen to him sing Only the Lonely! At the end if that classic, he uses his voice unlike any form heard at the time!
I get goosebumps when I hear this song. My favorite from him.
It was used in the movie "Blue Velvet," where Dean Stockwell did a startling impersonation of singing the song. Strange movie though.
Asking to choose your favourite Roy Orbison song is exactly the same as asking which of your kids you love the most, it's an impossible question to answer, Roy could sing the phone book or a dictionary and he would make it brilliant
Did you notice everyone on that stage is a Rockstar? They all volunteered to play with their hero...there were many who didn't get in.
There's truly no other voice like Roy! Some of my favorites and some varying styles to try: "Only the Lonely," "Blue Angel," "Candyman," "Claudette," "Dream Baby," "Running Scared," and "Working for the man!" Such a great voice and I have a greatest hits album that I never skip a song on and the record I have too!
I endorse Running Scared and Working for the Man.
"Crying" is my favorite Roy Orbison song. His voice is incredible! ✌️
Y’all need to watch more videos from Roy Orbison’s “Black & White Night” concert, especially “Pretty Woman”. Roy’s is joined on stage by Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, and many more accomplished musicians.
When Elvis was asked who he thought was the greates singer ever he named Roy Orbison.
"It's Over" is a real emotional tear jerker.. not requested that often for some strange reason. He has so many many memorable songs. To stand there and hardly move or open his mouth to produce that sound particularly when he was young was magical. Never will be another like Roy Kelton Orbison. You must be pretty good to upsatge the Beatles for them to ask him to "go home Yankee"!!. Of course it was all in good faith, but for the crowd in England to keep asking Roy Orbison for encores and forget about the Beatles who had been on before is pretty special. He was by all accounts a really lovely humble guy. Sure miss the "Big O"
Springsteen says Roy was the greatest singer he ever heard. Some praise from the Boss.
This concert was recorded in Jan' 1988. Roy died that December. Musicians who had recorded with Roy, and Elvis P' play on this: James Burton, Jerry Sheff, Ron Tutt, whom you are less likely to know, by sight, rather than by ear. A number of friends and admirers joined: Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne on guitars, Tom Waits -keyboards -and a trio of Women on vocals, talents all: Bonnie Raitt, k.d. Lang, Jennifer Warnes. Roy recorded with the Traveling Wilbury's in April-May of that year, the album came out in October, so, he knew success in his final months with us. He worked on his last solo album, "Mystery Girl" during his final months, with his friends co-writing and playing on tracks. He died of a heart attack, at only 52 years.
"In Dreams" was from 1963. It was a top 10 hit. Roy toured England, with The Beatles as his opening band. The Lads were all fans of Orbison. (Why George H' could call him into the Wilbury's.)"In Dreams" returned to the minds of many, when it was featured in David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" in 1986, a disturbing misery into the dark personal corners of American small town life.
Where ever Amber went at the 5.13 mark is why we listen to "The Big O"
This was an amazing concert just one year before his very untimely death. At that time this song was over 20 years old and Roy just crushes it. Of course that’s also the best backing band ever created, just ridiculous. I have this stored on my DVR. ✌️
Definitely “I drove all night” ❣️❣️Blew me away the first time I heard it. “In Dreams “is my favorite song of the Legendary Roy Orbinson. One of the greatest, and most iconic voices of all time.♥️ The Bee Gees my favorite band of all time . Barry spoke a lot of the influence Roy Orbinson had on them. There will never be another three part harmony like them; and their songwriting is pure brilliance ❣️❣️🎤🎸🎶🎵
This was a tribute concert for Roy called "A Black and White Night". You need to find it as a whole concert and watch it. There are some Huge artists performing with him and they all admitted they were starstruck and really nervous about performing with him. One Crazy fact is that there was a big 5.9 earthquake the morning after this concert. The building the video and audio recordings were in was damaged burying the tapes. When the rubble was cleared the recordings were not damaged at all.
My young son and I would dance in our small kitchen while I made dinner. This is one of our favorites. He's 25 now and sometimes we still dance in the kitchen. Together we will cherish the music and dancing ❤
Ahhhh, my favourite Roy Orbison song! In Dreams parted with that voice is ethereal. It transports me to another world. The song is featured in a film by David Lynch called 'Blue Velvet'. The dream like quality of the song juxtaposed with the dark subject matter gives me chills. The studio version of In Dreams is worth a listen too.
"Pretty Woman" is more famous. Also, "Cryin" is amazing. He did a version with kd lang, two voices that were made for each other. She did a solo version that I prefer. You need to react to her a lot more. "Constant Craving" is one of her absolute best. She has done some country songs in her own style. Check out "Trail of Broken Hearts" and "Pulling Back the Reins." She's also covered "Crazy" by Patsy Cline who was a big influence. Live or recorded, she's gold. As flawless a singer as I've ever heard.
yes!!! omg when she sang it at his tribute...makes me tear up everytime!!!!
I wish they would go waaay back to kd lang & The Reclines "Hanky Panky"
Miss Chatalaine was an awesome song.
I totally agree with you about KD Lamb's version. The duet is crazy good, but I feel like KD holds back in the duet. Her solo version, especially at the tribute show, was heartbreakingly beautiful and soul stirring.
Whenever I think of Miss Chatalaine I think of her appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show" back in the day when she performed that song in a fluffy yellow dress and full makeup. He did not know how to react. It was hilarious. I think she was just messin' with him.
I love how this song keeps getting more intense until the crescendo at the end.
This is from a recorded concert, A Black and White Night, done sometime in 1987. Everyone in the band are famous in their own right: Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Brown, Tom Waits, J.D. Souther (You're Only Lonely). The lead guitarist on the more rockabilly songs was James Burton, who was the guitarist for Ricky Nelson; then Elvis. The background singers were already listed by Stefani.
Roy Orbison, A Black and White Night is a great concert to own. A stage full of Mega- Stars that will never be matched. It is seriously fantastic.
The voice of an angel… His song Crying is a must. An emotional masterpiece that will blow you away. Also, You Got It is another must. 💕✌️✨
Hey guys, I had an uncle who went to school with Roy Orbison and in his hometown I once put on his glasses, I could hardly see anything. Just love his music.
When I was a teenager my two favorite singers were Roy Orbison and Gene Pitney!! Roy never had a bad song!!!
roys voice is 1 of a kind.... love him...
When I was 12, a year before the Beatles came to America, I had a vinyl album of Roy's that I totally WORE OUT! Please react to much more! Try Leah next! Listen to the story he beautifully tells with Indian Love Song and sooo much more❤ Love y'all! 💋 😊
That whole concert "A black and a white night" was outstanding with supergruop level👍🙋🏼♂️
He makes the singing look so effortlessly ,just floats from his lips, heavenly 💞
Not only my favorite Orbison song but one of my favorite songs ever.
Dontt forget Linda Ronstadt singing Roy's "Blue Bayou" ! Its BLISS !
In case you didn't know, this incredibly sad song is about his tragic life. His wife died in a motorcycle accident next to him, and his 2 young sons died in a house fire while staying with their Grandparents. Just listen to the heartbreaking lyrics again... 😢
This was filed at Eli's Hard Rock Cafe, in L.A....it was the last time we'd see him alive..Damn the fates for taking such a beautiful man from us..After all he'd been through, he deserved to love so much longer!! (Note all the stars on-stage with him..He was so loved they jumped at the chance to play with him!)
Yes!!! This is my favorite Roy Orbison song and has been since my childhood. The "wiggle" in his voice is called vibrato, and his is perfect. He has so many great songs. Listen to Cryin and his version of Blue Bayou.
This was filmed in Black & White at the Old Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles Ca in 1988 the Year ROY Passed Away in December of '88. This
was called " A Black & White Night " Special Notice the many musical STARS...in the BAND!! ELVIS Called him the GREATEST ROCK N ROLL SINGER HE EVER HEARD.....
" A Black & White Night "
I'm jumping in with 100% agreement with surlechapeau - "Crying" and "Only The Lonely" - Yes!
Roy’s songs speak to the soul. They’re either reaching down to the depths of our pain in a love that’s been lost, or he’s taking us to the heights of ecstasy in a love that’s been won or redeemed. Either way, no matter what human experience you’re going through, Roy makes every word count.
Personally, this is my all time favorite Roy Orbison song. Not only does he show his incredible range, but he also revolutionizing the structure of the song. There's no regular chorus, or refrain. His voice is just constantly rising. To be fair, as wonderful as his voice is in this video, its even more amazing as a younger man. Magical.
OMG Roy Orbison and Friends 1988 one of the best and most iconic television concerts ever. Featuring:Bruce Springsteen,KD Lang,Bonnie Raitt,Elvis Costello,Jackson Browne,Tom Waits,Jennifer Warnes . Recorded September 1987 aired January 1988 Roy would pass away that December. In Dreams was originally released in 1963
The Beatles are my main band but Roy Orbison is without doubt one of the top 3 vocalists in Rock and Roll, so distinctive and without compare.
His original recording of - crying is a masterpiece
Oh yeah, got some Roy again! He has so many fantastic songs, this is a great concert…have it on cd. Both songs you mentioned are tops, but my favorite is “You Got It”, live performance. The percussion is just terrific! Roy’s voice is just iconic, nobody is even in the same category.
Roy was in a band called the traveling wilburys with tom petty, George Harrison, and I don't remember the rest, but some of the biggest names in music. I think you'd like their stuff.
@Jay and @Amber one of the 25 Greatest voices of all time :) Lovely song
One of the greatest singers of all times, Elvis said this also!👍👏👏👏💜💖🌸
I saw Roy at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1977. If I remember correctly, he had been away from live performances for a few years, and it was a part of a comeback tour of sorts. He was in somewhat of a melancholy mood because Elvis had died just a few days prior. He had a full compliment of strings and backup singers, and he put on show for the ages with his voice. I also was extremely fortunate to see Little Richard at The Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood in 1969, and Jerry Lee Lewis at The Palomino Club in Los Angeles in 77 or 78. You should also listen to his studio recording of In Dreams from the early 60s. You guys do a great job.
Roy wrote and recorded Blue Bayou. When he toured the UK in the early 60s the Beatles opened for him. George stayed friends from that time. Jeff Lynne produced and played on his last album, Mystery Girl. Another Wilbury conx.
Y'all must hear "A Love so Beautiful."
"You know what a love letter is?" Great line....
This takes me back my dad absolutely loves Roy, and I know every single song. He was a gorgeous singer.
"Running Scared" and "It's Over" are bucket list songs. You haven't lived until you've heard them.
This entire concert video is wonderful. Every song was a smash hit.
I heard this song for the first time only yesterday and I now can't hear it enough, his voice is just mesmerising. From London, UK
