I was there that night. Sitting in the third row. I felt her voice in my chest. Remarkable!
That is truly remarkable. I wish I were there.
me too@@shetaz905
Her vocal cords were connected directly to her heart.
Well said. She sings with every feeling in her soul.
When an audience of music industry giants give someone mid-song applause AND standing ovation for their rendition of a classic, iconic song that was originally done by a classic, iconic performer...you KNOW you've seen a special performance.
No one has ever sung that song better and no one ever will. Amazing.
Wrong.. Roy sang it much better
Love your sentiment but lets not get carried away .. KD would be the first to agree.
You are right. She's the best singer I ever listen to. Absolutely.
No matter how many times I hear her sing this song (and it has been many) I still get goosebumps and smh at the incredible sound of her voice. No booty shaking, gimmicks and she's wearing a kinda homely uncomfortable looking outfit. What she presents to her audience is her God given gift of raw talent and that's all she needs to shock n' awe.
I'm with you. No gimmicks just fabulous music. She is amazing. Her outfit looks kind of comfortable though.
K.D. Lang in a dress.. pantyhose and those shoes... Nah not her style at all.
If I were to ever be with a woman...she would be THE ONLY ONE. I think she is totally awesome, and very beautiful. Watching her perform takes my breath away. I believe she is unbelievably great!!!
I had to laugh at your comment! I've listened to this particular performance a thousand times...and I'll listen to it a thousand more times...
I was actually thinking the same thing! I’ve never found other women attractive, but KD does it for me too!! 😅
@@Lillyofthevalley222me too ❤❤
Me too
kd lang is one of the most beautiful and talented persons who has ever lived.
Originally she went by kd Lang and the reClines. She likened herself to Patsy from the beginning. She used to sing with her band in a hotel in Calgary during the Stampede. They had a $5.oo cover charge (for charity). She wore a wedding dress, big horned rimmed glasses and hiking boots. It's always been about the voice.
pls elaborate, no irony
I saw this when it was first shown, and I remember the feeling of being blown away. KD lang has one of the great voices of all time.
Chills even now. One of the best performances ever
One of the best voices in the modern era> She also has a sense of humor.
I cried my heart out the day Roy Orbison died, my all-time favorite male vocalist and the best who ever lived ! No one but K.D. Lang will ever be capable of doing this song justice. I would give anything if K.D. did a duet with Adam Lambert, front man for the icon band QUEEN and the best male vocalist alive today. He was never accepted in the States either but has toured the world and has millions of fans. The States sure have a lot of hangups that we here in Canada don't.
Watching KD following Roy's death in the dress she wore for his special Black and White Night looking so small on that stage and showing the world a true voice on one of the most obnoxious, overblown award shows and audiences is truly inspiring.
I get the feeling this song was directed towards Roy himself. He will be missed forever RIP
The all time ultimate rejection song. K D knocks it out of the park.
Does it get any better? This performance is unbelievable, she made this song hers!
she did not .. not possible, but that she knew
This is my favorite performance of Crying. She sang this with so much emotion. She gave me the chills. I love it!
I feel like she was singing about Roy and how much he will be missed.
It can't be sung any better folks.
Perfection...she nailed this
I still think this is her best performance of this song ever. Not sure if it was because Roy had recently passed. Is so supreme.
When she sings it comes forth from the depth of her soul with passion and energy and her intent becomes laser-like. KD Lang is an exceptional singer.
I think this is one of her best performances and one of the best I have heard of this song. Ever.
This was the ultimate performance of this song..
Her voice is incredible, what what grabs me is the emotional investment she has in the song. She gets inside it.
I can't tell which is more gorgeous - watching her sing or hearing her sing.
It doesn't get any better than this! Love k.d. lang!
.
There is no doubting the emotion she conveys, Wonderful rendition.
What a fantastic version of Roy's song brilliant ❤
You cannot understand why I am crying. Orbison chose her, and how amazing he was to have done so.
Amazing, none better!
Truly amazing
Absolutely stunning!!!! Roy Orbison would be very proud.
Outstanding performance. Such a beautiful and powerful voice
I had heard this song many times before, by Roy Orbison, by Don McLean, but not until kd sang it did I actually cry. She amazes me!
One of the best live performance I ever seen. Every time I watch this, it gives me goosebumps. Pure talent and brilliant interpretation of the song.
Of course the reason for that thunderous applause at the end, by hardcore industry types, was because at the iconic finish to 'Crying' Lang not only hits and attenuates "over" and then doesn't take a breath into the finishing "you"... which very, very few pop singer can/could have produced, certainly with that clarity and emotive punch ... and they certainly know a "talent singularity" when they hear one...
I fell asleep reading your long-winded dissertation. You rang in the ghost of Fraser Crane.
the Gracious Kathy Dawn making it look effortless.....as per usual......wot a treasure !!!!!! LUCKY CANADA - TREASURE HER !!!
We do!! We are so proud to call her one of our own.
That’s big stuff! Not many have the nerve nor the talent to pull this one off. Roy Orbison’s voice may very well have been the best ever and Miss Lang nailed it!! Grande Props young lady.
I always love you ❤ for all this years still listening to all your songs KD LANG 😍
If ever a previous song was written for a voice, this was it. 💖🎶
When I come to watch this amazing perfomance... I always get goosebumps. Really well singing and passion in it.
Forever beautiful! All these years ago. Still stunning. 🥰
I don't believe I've ever seen a more incredible performance. Impossible to not hit replay.
Only KD Lang can do Roy songs justice, frankly. I love how they both respected each other so much!!!!
I have waited 22 years to hear and see this performance again. It was cathartic experience for me. I had never heard KD Lang before. I sat in my livingroom watching my this tribute on my 13 inch color in the company of my 5 year old daughter. I was mesmerized with the power of it. I am very grateful for a second chance to experience this again. No performance since has had quite the power perhaps because she was doing for someone she truly admired and loved. Thank you langsense!
Oh god, got tears in my eyes. K.D. should be as well known as Adele. Amazing.
SHE SINGS WITH HEART AND SOLE BRAVO
I can't believe how hung up ya'll are on her clothes!! I had to go back and watch this again to find out what she was wearing after reading all the comments... I was too hung up in her talent!!! Her vocals are ridiculous in this song!! I found myself crying for no reason!!
Remember seeing this on tv at the time, so soon after the loss of Roy. It was a beautiful moment in my life and I'm glad to find it here. Thank you so much!
Now this is how you cover a classic song as this one.. what a incredible way to pay respect to a idol like Roy .. beautifully presented
WOW @ K.D. . . . Roy Knew What He Was Doing When He Picked You!!!
HE WOULD BE SO PROUD!!! I Cried BUT, one of those Good Crying!!!
I saw this program when it aired originally in 1989. It presented a lot of wonderful talent before a pretty jaded audience of industry people, but only 3 performers--all women---got standing ovations that night. People were simply blown away by K.D.'s performance, and I think even she was surprised by the reaction. The other 2 to get a standing ovation were Patti Labelle and Liza Minelli (doing New York, New York, of course). I still have the tape and treasure it. Thanks for sharing this!
greetings from Canada .K D Lang we are so proud of you
She reaches deep into her gut to express the pain and anguish we all feel at the angst and loss of true love. This is a memorable performance.
When I see and hear comments by the likes of Roy, Roy's wife, Leonard Cohen, Tonny Bennett, Joni Mitchell, and countless others, it confirms the greatness I felt of this rare talent. Understated.
As always and forever -- thank you kd!
I so well remember watching this. I wasn't very familiar with kd; she floored me with this, and, of course, left me Crying. Her "Hallelujah" at the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony did the same.
I've always marveled at Roy Orbison's fabulous voice but even Roy must rise to his feet wherever he is and tip his hat to best rendition of "Crying" that's ever been rendered.
I can't listen enough to this performance! Still speechless after all these years.
Stunning version. All the love, respect and admiration she had for Roy Orbison is
clearly nuanced in this incredible emotional tribute. God Bless you KD and you
too Mr Orbison. We love you

What a beautiful voice.You can bring me to tears.
no matter what she sings, it's always incredible. she gives me goosebumps!!!
I saw this on TV when it was on. I was totally mesmerized. She brought down the house. I'm glad I finally thought to CZcams this and find it. Yes, it's about the Voice.
I'm speechless, all I can say is PERFECTION !!!!!!
I love when she gives that smile at the end of her songs. Yeah, you know the one...the grin where you can almost see a dimple. That's when "we know" that "she knows" she nailed it. Yeah k.d. She's the best!
Best performance ever!
a legend before she was even in her 30's...
she still singe like this today...
incredibly awesome, superb, love her technique of cresecendos... very dymanic
Awesome . I'm an Orbison fan from way back but kd absolutely nails this .
Agreed.
I've fallen in love with her.
So much passion I get goosebumps
everytime i hear her sing, i get goosebumps
tears of both joy and sorrow and goosebumps from head to foot. She is amazing.
It was a nice moment
What a great tribute to the one and only - Roy Orbison.
The most amazing, beautiful singer ever
One of the great performances!
I'm speechless. Thank God this was caught on film.
Goose bumps from head to toe.
It's pretty incredible isn't it. There aren't many people in the entire world who can sing like that.
KD’s voice is pure magic! ❤❤
What a pleasure to listen to her voice!
A Canadian Treasure and Legend
She is so lovely her voice is wonderful
Perfection...
with Orbisons angelistic voice and kd's emotion, they compliment each perfectly. Miss Roy. He was Evis before Elvis.
Leap Year Day 2016 - saw her do this live and I was in awe. Don't understand why this performance has millions of hits which it deserves - Truly Amazing Performance!
One of the most expressive modern vocalists I've ever heard. Stunning.
This is her best version....☺
no one better
amazing version. have loved this for decades!
Roy hit 95% of the essence of the emotion of what he was trying to convey in that song. KD took it to 99%
She did this song justice and roy would be proud...too bad they made her wear a dress and not be her true self....beautiful rendition
Actually, kd wore a few dresses during her country music career. I believe she may have worn this dress also for Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and white Night, plus some other early TV appearances.
That was her dress. If you buy her best of video thing where she introduces each video - she talks about this dress and her cutaway boots. She didn't want to conform. I went to see her during her Constant Craving tour and she was so proud of her new tennis shoes. Very funny.
Ha, nobody makes kd wear anything.
This was the dress she was wearing as a backup singer in Orbison's "Black and White Night" television special.
When I watch this, I feel like Roy was standing there with her. I get the impression she was singing about Roy that night. RIP
I saw this when it aired on t.v. and K.D. 's voice just blew me away. I still get goose bumps whenever I listen to her sing. Definetly one of my favorites. Her voice reminds me so much of Patsy Cline. Just absolutely beautiful. Thanks for uploading this.
She's beautiful.
Just brilliant!
thumbs up for me.. awesome voice..
I love her voice.
When talent becomes art.
No words! 😮😢💓💓💓
She's gorgeous and looks great in a classic black dress and tights! She looks like Brent Spiner and Robert Pattinson. She sings every single one of her songs perfectly. She's never sung a bad song in her life! Her voice has been the same over the years.
Always amazing me. What an amazing woman.
Yes, on Jay Leno. Even as powerful as her voice is he still blew her away, but then Orbison blew EVERYONE away. He was the absolute best ever, even Elvis admitted it.
Spot on Roy orbison was truly 1 in a billion.. His voice was a gift from god
I choke up and cry every time I hear her sing. She is beautiful and her voice, truly a gift of God.
She makes us Canadian proud!
Made me cry....losing someone we love has to be the hardest thing in the world to work through. K. D. Lang sums it up....I loved the version she did with Roy Orbison just as much I think....but she's got that emotion thing going on. WOW
