Roy Orbison is the greatest voice I ever heard!! I'm 77 and I've heard them all. Nobody had such a beautiful and powerful sound. His passion connects to your soul. His song A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL is the most beautiful and would bring tears to anyone listening. I will never hear anyone that great again!!!
I saw him live in the late 60's in New Zealand. Got invited to his concert and being young I was like 'okay' not thinking much of him - to this day I am still enthralled by his presence, talent - he was absolutely amazing.
Not only did Roy perform at the highest levels he did it while suffering such heartache. His wife was killed in a motorcycle crash and 2 years later 2 of his 3 children died in a house fire while he was on the road. It take an inner strength to go on after that and he more than went on. Thank you Roy!
Roy , in an interview stated that (paraphrase) no matter what he did in life he would always be remembered for the tragedies in his life . No matter how happy I am . I have a beautiful wife and 2 young healthy sons . I have love and laughter in my life . Roy died on top .
One of the best live performers ever. Orbison never goofed off on stage or mumbled and fumbled his way through a set. He respected his fans and he gave them his best.
Such a sad song and yet she went with him and walked away to a beatiful future of ballads that made the world a happy place with a musical geunies roy orbson
One thing I notice about Orbison's later videos of his early songs. He sings them in the original keys. Many singers lower the keys as their voices age and they are no longer able to make the high notes. Orbison does them all as he originally recorded them....and can still kill it!!
I was lucky to have seen Roy in concert 3 times. The last two times at a small venue. He didn't need dancers, laser shows etc, he just stood there and sang. His voice would lift you out of your seat and drop you back down. I saw grown men with tears in their eyes (me included). Roy was the greatest and this is my all time favourite song.
No need to have lighting effects and backing dancers. He could just stand there and let his unique voice do it all. I cannot imagine how Hollywood has not made a movie of Roy Orbison . Think of the great songs that would feature in the movie.and the story of his life. This would be a possible Oscar winner if they pick the right person to play the part.
Finding an actor to portray him is one thing, but how are they EVER going to reproduce that magnificent soprano of his??! They'd have to utilize recordings...,
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, it always amazes me how a voice of that magnitude came out of his mouth! He barely opens his mouth! He was a soft spoken man, but he had one of the loudest singing voices ever!
Sarah Kinsey ...I know, right??? My hubby and I have talked about that very thing many times. Normally to get that kind of power behind your voice you have to open your mouth. How did he do it, without opening his mouth??? Don’t have a clue, but wow!!!
In my experience singing Roy Orbison on CZcams it has to do with breathing technique: try it yourself! Sinatra quoted in Nancy Sinatra bio "Daddy and Me" described learning his breathing technique from the brass players in Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra: "sneak quick inhale breaths" at EVERY opportunity to maintain bursting full lungs of air whenever not exhaling to play - or in a vocalists case, to sing - the notes. You may check out my Orbison covers on CZcams channel, Mark Redman. Thank you. God bless you. Wished for a Safe and Happy 2021.
The voice of the 20th century! Never equalled, totally unique and timeless. Thank you, Roy, for all the pleasure you gave to millions of your adoring fans and continue to give to millions more!
December 17 2019.....wowww...I literally got chills when the audience kept clapping and cheered when he returned for the final notes....Roy was and still is one of the very best ever in the music business
One thing I love about Roy is just how.. human he was. I mean, he had the voice of an angel, but we was humble, shy, even nervous, and his life was never really "glamorous." Love coming back to watch and listen to this. Roy was well before my time, but this is the first and only performance I've seen which actually sort of made me feel "there."
another humble, shy, not a glamorous life either, but still touring at 63 years young and writing songs and recording is Chris Isaak and his band Silvertone
You watch him, and he does what he does, and it looks like he is not even trying, it is so natural, and smooth, he is amazing, he makes it look so easy.
A performer of this caliber doesn't have to twerk, rub his rear end on people, grab their crotch or jump around acting like a fool. They stand and sing with such talent and heartfelt emotion that they bring up memories from your past, the good memories along with the bad. No everyone has the ability to appreciate their talent. Young people of today listening to garbage like rap with never understand. Too bad.
I agree 100% with what you said about Roy, but you clearly don‘t understand where hip hop came from and how it is deeply relatable to a considerable amount of people. I also agree that it‘s not necessary for a good artist to make a big show out of themselves when they‘re actually musically talented, but that doesn‘t mean that all those who do are talentless fools. You‘d have to agree that Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus are some of the best singers around. They don‘t have to dress or dance like they do to get attention, they just do it anyway. And no matter whether I‘m supportive of that part of the performance, I highly appreciate their singing abilities.
Am a very young 76, listened to Roy since the 60's + still amazed at his ability to perform those incredible high notes with such ease n yes a true gift from Rock n Roll Heaven...
Love Roy, the first time I heard him when I was a teen. I am now 72 yrs. young, and still the best singer I have every heard. Still sing with him on my CD's , going down the road in my car just like I was a teen again. Roy Orbison is in a league of his own, he was Elvis's favorite and mine too!!
This whole mix of music makes me cry!!!!! And I’m a real man! Never again will we know music such as this! These millinials ** will never ever ever know a damn thing about life’s emotions and real true blue music!! I’m playing my drums along as we speak!!! God bless all the old timers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The little wry smile midway through the video was pure magic. He knew the audience was HIS and he could have sung the phone book and they would be ecstatic
I saw him at the Granada theatre in Harrow NW London in 1964. Standing still and not saying a word he sang with power and emotion and hit all the high notes in Running Scared. I remember the hairs on the back of my neck rising in response. I saw him again in concert at the London Palladium and Blazers in Windsor and again at the Adelphi Theatre in Hammersmith in 2018 (hologram). I still play his records today and have just downloaded “Wild hearts run out of time” from iTunes. At an Elvis Presley concert in Las Vegas Roy was in the audience and Elvis introduced him as “one of the greatest singers of all time”.
For the first couple of minutes this is very good, for the next 30-45 seconds it is great, when he comes back out and sings the ending again it is great ++. Talent on loan from God
He absolutely knocked it out of the park on that second go. I've never heard any other recording of Running Scared where he takes those extra steps up the register. And still so effortless!
Wow, The Man Had some voice, Listen to that ending , and he took it up a note higher at the end.What power. God gave Roy a great instrument.And he used it well. ..he vives me good bumps every time i hear one of his songs.
I can sing every note of this song. Perfectly. Except for the last note. The one he hits on “me”. And that’s what separates me, a decent singer, from Roy, who I have come to believe has the greatest voice that has ever been recorded.
still listening to this beautiful song & all his oher songs, Beautiful amazing voice,,,,,Dec.20,2022 love Roy Orbisin & all his music forever RiP beautiful man .....
What a heartbreakingly beautiful voice ... Imagine if Roy had been a handsome man .... Elvis (the indisputable King) called him the Voice and had deep respect for Roy Orbison.
YA HE WAS AN AVERAGE LOOKING MAN, NOT A HEARTTHROB - BUT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS VOICE AND WHAT IS SO COOL IS THAT EVERYMAN CAN RELATE TO HIM AND THE DIFFICULTIES HE SINGS ABOUT. EVERY HONEST MALE VOCALIST REALIZES ROY'S UNIQUELY POWERFUL AND GIFTED VOICE. ELVIS WAS ONE OF MANY STARS THAT EITHER COMPLIMENTED HIM OR TRIED TO EMULATE HIM. YOUNG PEOPLE HEARING HIM TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME ARE BLOWN AWAY. TRUE GIFTED TALENT--NOTHING FAKE OR CREATED.
Axl Rose (William Bruce Bailey Rose Jr.) has a vocal range of 6 octaves. People do not misunderstand the term ''vocal range''. Its not about screaming the ''hardest'' and having the most breath in your longs. While the broadest definition of "vocal range" is simply the span from the lowest to the highest note a particular voice can produce, this broad definition is often not what is meant when "vocal range" is discussed in the context of singing. Vocal pedagogists tend to define the vocal range as the total span of "musically useful" pitches that a singer can produce.
@TheOneAndOnly KC. You Know I'm Right, So F-ck Off. Elvis was a natural performer, while Roy was a natural songwriter. He was never totally comfortable performing, but he still could entrance an audience with his voice.
What a terrible tragedy it was to the world of music to lose Roy at such a young age. His remarkable talent that he shared with the world of music for so many years still lives on thanks to CZcams. Roy is a true Icon and Legend in the history of "Rock & Roll", and his great talent and beautiful voice will live on for many years to come.
roy orbisonwas my favorite singer . he had such feeling for his songs and such a beautiful voice. When my wife passed away i played his song remember the good and it was like it was made for me thank you roy
Compared to today's music morons...he puts everyone of them to shame, and then shames them again. A real person...a true heart...in a class all by himself. There is and will never be anyone ever again like Mr. Roy Orbison! Thank you brother...you are remembered...just like your only wish...
ongelooflijk die prestatie wat heb ik respect voor die zangers want deze generatie schreef de muziek die binnen vijfhonderd jaar nog zal worden gedraaid mijn generatie groeide op met zulke muziek en wij weten nog wat eer en respect is the big O rip with al those great musicians that are already gone man man gewoon zo schitterend
I used to ride my bike every week to the music store to buy his records. When he started performing at the Warwick Musical Theater in Warwick RI I would go to every event. He always ended every performance with Running Scared just like he did here! By far the Best voice ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure miss him! Thanks for sharing this!
Roy Is the best I have heard in my life and I'm pretty old.ROY THANK'S for some of the best music and MEMORIES anyone could ask for in a liftime.I am so glad I was born in this era of music what they have today is not music.Thank's Roy R I P ZEUS SEMPER-FI USMC
Even at an older age, Roy had a beautiful voice!! His songs and sounds were great always!! People do not know he FIRST had to PAY out his pocket for his songs to be heard! Hard working guy, a great champion NEVER to be forgotten! Elvis Presley admired him too! Love this video! Orbison deserves all the credit like the others who reached fame!! Roy had amazing talent!!
There will never be another Elvis or Roy. Thank you for all your SUPER music... we miss you very much!
The one and only Roy Orbison !!!
No one will ever replace Roy or Elvis 6-7-24, love them both & all their music.....
He was the greatest and he will be remembered !!! Such a humbled man, so lovely.
Roy Orbison is the greatest voice I ever heard!! I'm 77 and I've heard them all. Nobody had such a beautiful and powerful sound. His passion connects to your soul. His song A LOVE

Up
@ he is so lively!
Roy's voice was 2nd to no one!
Can't confirm but I heard Elvis said he would never go on after Roy performed
Elvis said he was greatest voice ever heard and Elvis well was the 👑
Yes, he was!
Not only did Roy perform at the highest levels he did it while suffering such heartache.

That man still gives me goose bumps when he sings! Best singer of all time! PERIOD!😎

Goosebumps guaranteed with such a Singer and such Songs
Elvis called him "the greatest singer in the world."
YES, he was!
That's right! The "king" was once asked: "If you had one wish, what would it be? To which Elvis promptly replied: "To be able to sing like Roy."
one of the best vocalists ever in the history of music x
Soft spoken, humble, polite and unpretentious
His voice brings tears to my eyes xx
Christ Almighty!! That last note on the second call when he went above his normal finishing note.....Outstanding!!
You got it my friend, he went to the moon and back on that note !!!
That was really something...love Roy
This man was a legend. The crescendo at the end gives me chills every time.
Ditto!!!
The voice of an angel. RIP Roy
Saw him live in the 70’s at Caerphilly, he just stood there and sang one song after another, a brilliant night.
Only one word to describe Roy. Beutful.
The only man from WINK Tx to ever made it in the music industry, and boy this man deserves it,he was so talented
Such a sad song and yet she went with him and walked away to a beatiful future of ballads that made the world a happy place with a musical geunies roy orbson
Another. Of. Roy's. Fantastic. Beautiful. Songs. He. Was. Wonderful. To. Listen. To. Anytime. This. Is. Beautiful. !!!
As old as this gets, it never gets old. This man stands the test of time with the best.
Roy why did you leave us so soon
You had one of the most powerful and beautiful voices on earth. Heaven is richer with you there. Rest easy sir.
They don't make them like Roy anymore, class act! Legend!
They never did! One of the best of the best!
Loved him since I first heard this song at 13 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG, every time I get tingles. At 12 I first heard this song and fell in love with music 🥰❤️❤️ his Voice is magnificent 🙏❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Roy is a go to singer.
One thing I notice about Orbison's later videos of his early songs. He sings them in the original keys. Many singers lower the keys as their voices age and they are no longer able to make the high notes. Orbison does them all as he originally recorded them....and can still kill it!!
And I might add he sounds good or better here than the original. The high A he struggled with in 1961 belts right out like he owns it.
Nothing is better than this,,,
That man still gives me goosebumps when he sings! Best singer of all time! PERIOD!!😎03/11/22

Me too...1988...Seattle...he died 6 months later...too soon
very nice!
JUST THE BEST
A legend , a very modest man .
I love this song and I appreciate Roy orbison's talent !
J'ai 43 ans et je vient de l'écouter et je me retrouve dans cette chanson,une époque que j'aurais voulu connaître et qui ne reviendra jamais
there never has been anyone in the known universe, nor will there ever will be, who can do this song like Roy!
absolutely one of the best singers you and I will ever have the privilege to hear singing,,,, brilliant
A one off was the big O.... A legend?? Absolutely....
This was Elvis's favorite singer, and millions and millions of others no doubt, this is Roy Orbison !
The last concert me and my late wife saw. Elvis called Roy {"the Voice".He did three encores for us that night.
One of the best musical talents in history. This song is incredible
No need to have lighting effects and backing dancers. He could just stand there and let his unique voice do it all. I cannot imagine how Hollywood has not made a movie of Roy Orbison .

no auto tune, no reverb, no audio effects. just Elvis's favorite singer.
Absolutely. Nobody did it like"The Big O"
No reverb? Are you kidding?
No one could ever cover my fav song by Roy, and do it justice, not even Elvis. That song is LEAH. I like both guys and many many more.

Simply put - INCREDIBLE! The voice, the lyrics, the story. None can compare.

I totally agree. I am only 18, but I love Roy! He was such a good man who lived through too many tragedies. I wish i could have met him.
another humble, shy, not a glamorous life either, but still touring at 63 years young and writing songs and recording is Chris Isaak and his band Silvertone
Vicki Foster Chris is freaking amazing. He and Raul carry on the the magic that Roy gave us. Roy would be proud of both!
Roy was only 52 when he passed from a massive heart attack. You never tire of that voice. Unique and special.
What a fantastic song , pure class .
This brings the tears almost immediately. There are about 5 of Roy's songs that do that to me. RIP, Roy Orbison! Heaven is now your new audience!
Cannot wait
First record I heard on Radio Luxembourg Am 208 ...I was hooked and still am after 60 yrs.
You watch him, and he does what he does, and it looks like he is not even trying, it is so natural, and smooth, he is amazing, he makes it look so easy.

My biggest regret was never seeing this amazing man in concert. Good man with the best voice ever........ God has him now
Elvis said it best" If I had a voice like that, I might have been something".
Yes, not just 'the King', but GOD!
No one else can touch Roy💔
There is no god, but our Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and Roy and Elvis would tell you that.

A true original. what a voice,without peer. This here is Triple Octave range, folks, enjoy it , you will never hear a voice as perfect as his again.
This brought me to tears wow
The little wry smile midway through the video was pure magic. He knew the audience was HIS and he could have sung the phone book and they would be ecstatic

I remember the hairs on the back of my neck rising in response. I saw him again in concert at the London Palladium and Blazers in Windsor and again at the Adelphi Theatre in Hammersmith in 2018 (hologram). I still play his records today and have just downloaded “Wild hearts run out of time” from iTunes.

No words to express Roy's voice,maybe Angelic? Definitely a God given talent.♥
That's what Roy called it.
Melodic for sure. Had Roy become a star in the 1940s, he would have been called a crooner.

the best vocal range of any singer ever fact!!!!!
Even Elvis is on record as saying Roy Orbison had the greatest vocal range in the business.... Roy had a 5 octave vocal range...that is very rare...
Axl Rose (William Bruce Bailey Rose Jr.) has a vocal range of 6 octaves. People do not misunderstand the term ''vocal range''. Its not about screaming the ''hardest'' and having the most breath in your longs. While the broadest definition of "vocal range" is simply the span from the lowest to the highest note a particular voice can produce, this broad definition is often not what is meant when "vocal range" is discussed in the context of singing.
