Thank you all for the love on this video! I love to hear your stories so please keep commenting and just know if you have seen him perform live then you have lived my dream! Roy is one of my favourite artists and I'm happy to do more covers so let me know what you would like to hear!
Pretty woman..
Did you forward this to Roy's son? Roy had an unusual, in some ways unique voice, but Glen Campbell used to love to sing his songs. He did Dream Baby on Shindig (it's on youtube) and Cryin' was on his Gentle on my Mind album and as an old man, when his voice was quite different, he put it on his PBS special; both are on CZcams. I only mention this because if you go to Nashville I personally think it would be great if you could connect w Glen's old bandmate, the great musician & producer Carl Jackson, who plays at the Station Inn on Monday nights; I don't know him personally, just through Twitter, but to me it would be awesome if he could work with you in any way. Connections w so much history are nice. There are so many people in Nashville who value live music and are connected in some way to so much of the music that you like--I guess they can be said to be all sort of like the heirs to the Chet Atkins magic. (Chet was an exec & producer at RCA when they acquired Elvis's contract and one of the great guitarists in pop music history.) Do you know who Roger Miller was? Roger was a contemporary of Glen and Willie Nelson and Roy etc, a singer-songwriter who had some smashes of his own and a lot of songs that others made famous--like "I Catch Myself Cryin'" I think that is a great song for you. Songs that are plainly emotional--up or down--seem to me like good ones for you. I LIKED what you did with Back to Black because you didn't try to sound like Amy, who has that punch-in-the-face belting voice--no one could out-Amy Amy. Your version was more plaintive and so it became your own song--in fact I had to look it up to remember whose song it was, which is crazy because I love Amy! Speaking of heartbreak songs, Lonnie Johnson's "Another Night to Cry" would be a perfect song to do with a master guitarist like Carl Jackson because the guitar part is hard and your voice would make the song into something else. I wonder how many more cryin' songs I can think of. Here is a video of Willie, Glen and Roger Miller, with the songs "Uncloudy Day" and "Old Friends," both very beautiful. "Old friends" would be a nice song for you to do with your brother and the other fellow, whose name I can't remember. whoczcams.com/video/811xFde7RmY/video.html&ab_channel=Davehenry55
How abou Elvis, thr Girl of my best friend, or his latest flame. Its now or never will do nicely.

@@corinafrancishincal9979 No, he's not Roy, but a valiant try. Brought back beautiful memories...
Roy Orbison was one of my favorite singers growing up! I’m 75. Your voice is wonderful like his. May you be as successful as he was. ✨✨💕
Il problema è che i gusti sono cambiati dai tempi di Elvis.
Kann und darf ruhig sein, aber PERLEN BLEIBEN PERLEN❤Bin 70 und ich höre ihn lieber wie Roland Kaiser, ist so❤
J'ai aussi 75 ans idem pour les chansons de notre bonne époque 🌴😇💔☘️
Yes I love his music you done a great job thanks
Couldn’t have said it better !
I am 77 and came to listen to see if anyone could even attempt Roy’s music……what a beautiful job you did! Bravo! Music is huge in my family. I am a singer, my daughter plays three instruments and is a Music Therapist, and my son plays drums trained by the director of music theater in Indiana, so I listen closely to music, and how it is done. I know good music, and this is beyond good! 🎹❤️
You have a gift from God, son.🙏 You brought Roy Orbison back to life. Thank you Elliot!
yes he is a gift of GOD
AH hello like his parents. Incredible parent given talent.@@giuseppinalentini2419
Please sing more Roy Orbison songs, love to hear you
Beautifully done, great voice❤
Jeez more god nonsense. Just accept the guy is talented - no magic sprinkle dust was sprinkled on him at birth 😝😝😝😝
Came across this by accident. It gave me shivers up and down my spine. What a fantastic voice, such a tribute to Roy Orbison . Really did his creation justice with this rendition. Great stuff.
I'm 73, and always loved Roy Orbison. I don't think I've ever heard anyone even attempt to sing his songs. You nailed it. You sing beautifully! Please keep doing what you're doing. You're a blessing!
I can’t believe a young man in this day and age of trashy music can sing like you and the style and purity you do it. Music good music needs you. Bless you.
You said just what I was thinking. He brought forth the purity of bygone music! Oh my heart
I'm from that era Elliot. Roy Orbinson was one of my favorite singers back then and young fella you made me cry. There will never be music like that again and it is so nice to hear a young man like youself, actually use his volcals. Good on you.
My mother loves this type of music. I wasn't part of this era, but this sure made me emotional also.
All I can say is fantastic!!!!
I attended 2 of Roy Orbison concerts .. the original .. you did great Elliot ! Superb rendition !! ❤
Absolutely fab wonderful voice😢
Elliot I am extremely picky about my music and I don't give compliments very often. In the few months I've been listening to you, you have reached new heights! Don't ever stop learning and practicing and don't take anything for granted. And above all, don't forget to thank our creator the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you abundantly!
Totally agree!
maybe your lord should stop wasting his time on pretty voices and maybe heal kids with bone cancer
You really think he needs to practise and learn mmmm perhaps you need to give more compliments 😊
MY JIMMY USE TOOO SING TOM JONES FROM 4 YEARS OLD AT THE TOP OF. HIS LUNGS OUTSIDE😂😅 AND LOVES. ROY ORBINSON ❤❤❤ ME TOO❤
@@MoesBusLifeGOD HELP U. HOW BOUT YOUR god. STOP ✋️. USEING CANCER???
70 years old here. What a lovely voice
You made Roy's song your own. Truly beautiful. Thankyou for the memory.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This young man is good. Very few people can pull off an excellent Roy Orbison cover.
so true. He's awesome!
What a fantastic voice ❤ I'm a84 year old widow and saw Roy Orbison at Bridlington Spa many years ago 😀 you sound like him 😅 Good Luck young Man ❤ XX
WoW! I got goosebumps hearing this rendition of "In Dreams" sung by Elliot James Reay! He was so close to Roy Orbison I thought I was hearing Roy himself. More, more!
I am so glad you were born with that beautiful voice. When Roy Orbison died, I thought we had lost that type of voice forever. We did not. Good luck with your career. 🌹👍🌈❤️🌺
I'm a Huge Roy Orbison fan , have been for many years. We played this song at my Dad's Funeral. You are completely on spot and your Voice is Beautiful. Love this ❤ I'm sure Roy would be in awe of your Talent.
My God, simply heavenly. Never thought I’d hear another pop voice as angelic as Roy Orbison. Beautiful and transcendent, Elliot. 💙👊👊
Elliot is amazing ,why have we not heard about him before. X
Elliot, why are you not on America's got talent?
People like yourself keeping the music alive.
I think roy would be so proud of you.😊
People like you, not "people like yourself"
S 4 B.🤪🤪
OMG! What a fantastic rendition of the man’s music I grew up with! I’m 71 years old and have NEVER heard a cover done so close to the same exact style of Roy Orbison in my entire life! Absolutely mind blowing…Roy would be so proud and honored to hear and see you perform this being only one of his many smash hits! Thank you for sharing! As Elvis would say, “Thank ya, thank ya very much”. ~Jim from TOTALLY RELAXED! CZcams channel ~
This is the absolute favor of all of your videos. I am 80 years old and love Roy Orbeson, but I love your beautiful voice even more. Keep singing. You have a bright career ahead. I also like the videos you post with your friends to let us get to know you better.
I am almost 74 and like the previous commenter said, you nailed Roy Orbison 100%!!! I want MORE!!! Please!!
Elliot, absolutely phenomenal! What a beautiful gift to Roy and those who love him. I’ve been listening to and appreciating Roy for 35 years since he passed away. You have genuinely embodied the spirit of that song. Thank you for honoring Roy with your extraordinary talent, care, and respect. You sing from your heart, and we are all the better for it. With gratitude and love.💙
Well said! This kid is amazing. God has blessed him abundantly. We should pray for him and his protection from the many vultures in the music business.
You can sing and impresiotor the si ngers unbeleivable you are great thanks keep on Elliott ❤❤❤❤Gigi Montreal
Elliott, you sing so beautifully God gave you a beautiful gift thank you for sharing it with the world also, love your style and look I wish more young men today could take note from you of what a young men should look like because it seems that's also disappearing not putting care and effort in ones appearance, you give me hope for the younger generation.❤❤❤
My step father was a huge fan of Roy Orbison. I live in Vancouver Canada and in 1980 Orbison performed there in a small venue of about 250 people. The tickets were 13 dollars each... and I thought ... Wow what a great gift for my mother and stepfather. Their anniversary was coming up. I bought them the tickets for their anniversary ... two days later they went to see Roy Obison perform and were blown away... they couldn't stop talking about him and his performance. I only wish I could have gone too! And only $13 dollars a ticket ... I would pay $1300 now. Thank you Elliot for such a great cover, you did Roy proud! I would love to hear you do Crying if you can... Roy Orbison's collaberation with Kadie Lange was epic. I know you can do it even better. Luv ya Elliot.
You belong on the voice, I can see a 4 chair turn, and winner of the voice. Beautifully done. I know you made Roy very proud.
Roy is my all time favorite male singer and at 80, I heard all his songs. You did an excellent rendition of In Dreams. I was surprised at your vocal range, Roy’s difficult to copy.
Frankly, I nearly fell over backwards! Amazing gift and phenomenal performance!
Roy was Elvis's favorite singer.
@@harper626 Yes, they both had a voice of excellence you will never forget.
Awesome, this is not an easy song to sing and you nailed it. Roy Orbison had one of the more unique and beautiful voices ever, even Elvis said Roy was the greatest singer he ever heard. Great job.
He nailed! We need more singers/composers like this young guy! Ladies and Gentlemen here is a fantastic singer and composer!
Oh WOW✨✨✨❣️He sure brought back wonderful memories ❣️ what a great voice ✨✨✨
KUDOS❣️❣️❣️ THANK YOU and ALL THE BEST🕊💞🇨🇦
Sign him! Damn. Wow, just beautiful. Make Nana proud.
Wow, this rendition as much as I love Roy Orbison’s sounds even better. The clarity of lyrics and the perfect pitch is awesome. And he also does some incredible Elvis covers.
Total goosebumps. What a beautiful clear voice this young man has and what a fantastic cover. He has an abundance of major talent.🌟
As a teenager and in my early 20s,I worked with and for Roy, both in and out of the recording industry. A kind, shy, unassuming man and in the many times I was with him on tour I was amazed by the sound that came out of a mouth that barely seemed ever to open much more than a slit!! Ha! Ha!
He's on his way....
Has it all. LOVE HIS PURITY OF VOICE. HE HAS the GRACE THAT WILL
DRAW PEOPLE TO HIM. 🎶👍🏼
Your surname Reay means king in italian yes you are the king of beautiful voice ,keep singing for your fans and bless our lives , with that beautiful voice, and God will keep blessing you with such beautiful talent amen
I knew Roy well when he was here in England. I know that he would have applauded your rendition from the heart!! A fabulous memorial and for me, hearing you sing it thus, a real memento Thankyou!!!
I have loved Roy Orbison for over 60 yrs and could not imagine anyone being able to sing this song as he did. You have surpassed my expectations completely. I have goose bumps, this is so beautiful! You might do some more Roy Orbison since you have nailed this one completely. Only the Lonely or Crying are great songs.
Elliot.. new sub here. I was in 8th grade when Roy Orbison came on the scene... his unusual captivating style was irresistible, and we loved it!!! You covered this song and you nailed it!!! Thank you for what you're doing... you're so talented!!! God Bless you! ❤
Elliot you have an amazing voice!!! Roy Orbison is one of my favorite singers & you really do him justice. I'm sure that Roy is smiling down on you!!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!! 👍👍🎄
Wow Elliot, I literally stopped what I was doing to watch you sing this beautiful song which you did to perfection. 💯 Absolutely awesome and easily as good as Roy Orbisons version. You have an incredible voice. I'm so pleased that you're continuing with these classic songs and the 1950s as it suits you so well. 😀👍Pure talent! What a wonderful gift you have. 😃
You didn't copy Roy. You sang the song the way it is meant to be and with your own beautiful voice. What a talented young man you are. Thanks for the music. 👏🎶🎤🎶
It's great to see a young man like you perform these oldies. I'm 55 and can appreciate your performance and this song. God bless you!
Beautiful ❤
💙
@@ElliotJamesReay WOW ❗ Your beauty voice sounds divine 😊🎵 U are so gifted ❣️
Your voice shows great emotion! And you are very handsome.You reminded me of Elvis’s performances when he sang love or any kind of emotional song. The same tenderness! Bless you and may your career explode like his did😎
This popped up and I wasn’t going to bother listening but….wow that was Roy Orbison and looking like a young Elvis. 👏
❤❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful voice and delivery of a great song and what a blessed and talented young man thank you jesus for this person and his talents he has shared with the world Amen and Amen God bless you young man
I too am from the age of seven-plus-decades...and I appreciate this young man for this song. I am so appreciative of any of today's young singers who honor, and emulate the great singers of the past...a beautiful voice and a beautiful perfect job..Thank you thank you Thank you
Elliot, you are a tremendously gifted and talented singer. Thank you for bringing back sweet memories of music from my era. You are an old soul, I can tell. Roy Orbison, Elvis, and so many others were who I listened to, and I'd love to hear you sing "Suspicion" by Terry Stafford.
Such a talented young man. Beautiful voice.
Thank you! 🙏
I discovered Roy Orbison late in life and, I quickly saw what an amazing talent he was from his spare but impressive lyrics to that wonderful voice. I can say that your version is beautiful, too, and I think Orbison would agree❤❤❤!
OH I Love this Song!! Roy Orbinson was 1 of my favorite singers. YOU DID ROY PROUD ELLIOT!! YOU ARE A GREAT SINGER. ❤
Excellent, most Excellent young man. Roy launched 3 major music careers in his lifetime, I'm 74 and grew up on Roy Orbison,,,real music, beautiful lyrics and a wonderful performer,,,
Elliot never ceases to amaze me. He is a fantastic singer. I much prefer his full cover videos than his short videos.
Omg you are amazing totally amazing. I’m 67 and this was always one of my favourite Roy Orbison songs and you sound so like him. Please release an album I’ll have it on repeat!!!! ❤❤. I pray you make it big
I saw Roy the Big "O" Orbison live at St. George Leagues club in Sydney Australia in 1983, just 3 years before he left the building.
He was F@#&ing MAGNIFICENT!!!
The most charismatic performer I have ever seen. He was getting double standing ovations before he even finished the songs.
You, young guy, have just drilled it. Keep the hits coming, I'll be tuning in to your channel.
Tx for taking me back there. Just great.
Elliot,
I'm nearly 73 and played Roy Orbison on 8 track all thru my teen years and have him on CD as well. You're nearly an echo of his voice. Please continue to use your God given talent wisely and remember to thank our Creator for all the blessings you have. Your voice is extraordinary and Roy would be genuinely flattered.
Best regards.
SteelmanK
I've heard so many covers over the years, but this is the only version I've heard which is actually on a par with the original. Excellent world class voice and singing.
My husband & I are Roy Orbison fans & you young man did him proud. Well done!!!
Loved Roy Orbison for decades. Young man you got it to be able to pull off his songs. Glad I found you. I’m a fan.
Young man..I am baffled!You are simply out of this world..thank you for taking me on this trip to the memories of my youth..I'm 70 yrs n wud have never thought to come across someone like you in my old days.plse don't stop..thank you sonny.
Roy Orbison is my husband’s favorite and I cannot wait to share your posts with him! ❤ Thank you.
Excellent !!!! -- and just Beautiful. Roy Orbison would be very proud to hear this !!!! 12 STARS ************************************************************************************
Unusually talented guy. Nobody can sing, let Roy Orbison, I thought. This kid has a future. Unbelievable very well done
This style of music isn't sung by many anymore. People have forgotten us older folks still love this music. To see a younger man doing an excellent job at this is heart thrilling.
Roy Orbison his back to life. Wow wow wow 👋👋👋👋
This is outstanding! Roy Orbison himself would undoubtedly have loved it. He’s one of the all-time great singers and you’ve done the song complete justice 👍🏻
Hi Elliot. Roy Orbison was one of my idols along with Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Platters and others, when I was in my teens and early twenties. How I remember those days. I have just listened to your rendition of Roy's In Dreams [ 4 times in a row now ] and for me, it was Roy Orbison singing. You have brought back long forgotten memories, of years gone by, of freinds and family passed on, and I thank you from my heart for making an old man very happy again. GOD Bless you my boy, I know you will be a great success.
Elliott, I am in my 70's and listening to you sing takes me back to my youth. Thank you!
Beautiful voice! You do justice to both the Elvis and Roy Orbison songs you sing! Thank you Elliot!
I strive to find a word that describes how awesome Elliott voice is. Magnificent incredible inspiring wonderful, just everything that's true magic!! You are a true star !! ⭐
Roy Orbison is one of my vocal heroes and inspirations and son...you nailed that rendition! WOW!!!
Wow!! I floated along on the waves of your beautiful melodic voice, waiting for that high note and you nailed it!! I'm 72 years old and I know Roy Orbison music and this is outstanding! Did you know that RO was Elvis's favourite singer? He said nobody had a better voice than Roy...He would have loved you!! Well done, take a bow! ♥♥♥
Beautiful clear voice, great interpretation, great presence. Everything was done with class. Simply the Best💕🍒
My favorite song flawlessly performed! ❤
Wow wow wow, I've always thought that no-one would ever be able to do a cover of a Roy Orbison song justice.......You young man have proved me wrong. Awesome
This guy is a Star... anyone who takes a Roy Orbison song like he just did. Is STAR and He did it so well...
So beautiful Elliot. Your voice gets better with every song and your range is phenomenal. ❤
Elliot, I’ve already commented once about this song, but I just can’t stop listening to it. It is so beautiful. I really liked Roy Orbison but for some reason your version has a profound impact on me. Maybe it’s just your amazingly crazy voice I love listening to, or maybe it’s just because of being later in life. I’ve lost both of my parents, and the love of my life as well, over the past few years. This song actually makes me think of them, and wishing I had been a better person in their life. So you bring me to tears with this performance, but they must be good ones, because I can’t get enough of hearing it. Thank you so much my friend. You definitely do it justice. Your voice is addictive and what I wouldn’t give to see you live. You are a beautiful amazing young man. Thank you for what you do. This world is such a better place with you in it. Please, never give up on your dream. You have no limits as to how far you want to go in this world with your talent, and you will always have fans. Please come to the Chicagoland area sometime.
Brilliant example of Roy's song. One of my favorites of all time.❤❤
When I listen to Roy Oborson sing, now listening to you sing this wonderful song of his, I could feel your heart & soul in this, my heart was truly touched by your singing... Thank you
Perfect phrasing/vocals, Elliot - Roy would be impressed. Cheers, Les.
❤Wow! A fabulous job and I believe you are talented like Elvis was just stay true to yourself. Thank you for sharing your gifts. You make the songs your very own and many times they are better than the original. I am ❤ getting to be a fan of yours. You are an amazing young man you have it all to make it big.
Oh wow, how could I forget this Roy Orbison song... fabulous and timeless, what a beautiful rendition., thanks.
Hi Ellliot, thank you for doing this Roy Orbison‘s (one of his greats & my all time fav)… I enjoy singing karaoke but struggled with this one but after watching you, I felt inspired & think I can manage it now… thanks once again… keep it up👍🤗
Not to mention your versatility in covering a pretty wide repertoire of songs (from Elvis, Righteous Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, Simon Garfunkel & of course my favourite Roy Orbison & the list goes on & on…
Oh wow! Such a great talent you are!👍👍👍
Your voice is positively hypnotic. So smooth. So soothing.
Everytime i listen to your songs I melt and cry because you are so amazing ❤
Dear Elliot, you have an extraordinary talent. You know how to touch people and convey emotion like the greats who left their mark did. Roy Orbison was one of them and your talent brings it back to life. Thank you for this gift.
My grandfather listened to Roy Orbison all the time.. you are amazing I love it✨❤️✨
. . . congratulations! That was very good! I´m 82 and from Germany and I grew up with the songs of Roy Orbison, The Platters and their Only You, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Conway Twitty and so on. In that years these songs from America where not played in German radio. So I was listening every night AFN - American Forces Network Bremerhaven. I heard also Cliff Richard with his first record "Move It". I knew from his first tone, he will become a world star!
OMG Elliot. You are an amazing talent. They are very rare, as in maybe once in a generation. You have been given a very special gift, and us, the world, your fans, are so fortunate to see you grow into a superstar. Amazing voice
77 years old great rendition you are great Thank You you will go far.Dont ever stop
Love your voice! I’m 80 years old and remember listening to Roy Orbison as a teen… it’s wonderful to listen to you!! Keep singing!!
Omg the chills ! You’re so blessed with that. Live and I could listen to it all day . Love it ! ❤
Beautiful excellent performance Elliot! You have such a beautiful voice! Well done👏🏼❤️
You're Roy Orbison song is perfect.
I grew up listening to Roy Robertson. I still do.
I honestly got goosebumps listening to this, just as I do with Roy himself. Fantastic cover!
❤ Salutations from coastal Mississippi. I enjoy your music. Dreams are the memories of the heart ❤
I can’t tell if I’m listening to Elvis of you….
I’m an odd teenage girl that listens to 1950 music
I’m glad someone’s trying to bring back the style!
Music was so much more clean back then.🦋
Well said Janie. What an incredible talent not to mention beauty. The last time this kind of talent emerged his name was Elvis who praised the big O as the best voice he had ever heard. I think there could be a bit of reincarnation going on here folks. Thanks Elliot. Take care of yourself young man.m
Wow wow I loved Roy what a beautiful rendition of this beautiful song and the loss of his first wife and children thank you your voice is beautiful
Music from my generation. Music that will live forever! Love this. Thank you!
