He was a classic performer! Growing up to his songs...listening to them now only makes me wish I could go back in time. Does anyone else feel that way?
Yes yes yes !!
Sure do!
well said
I think all of us do
Not only that its Coming bak
Roy's voice was a gift from God to the world of music.
Yes, it's true
One of the greatest voices, of all time! Never a strain, to hit any note. Amazing! RIP, Roy!
Roy could hit the highs with relative EASE.
you never said a truer word
One of the best voices ever , without a doubt
Roy is a machine!!! He had a 4 octave range and could hit notes that only a handful of male singers on earth can reach. What an amazing and gifted singer
I thought it was 6 octaves?
Three!@@StockDude
Who else is listening to this timeless classic while in COVID-19 quarantine? I hope I'm not alone...
Not alone 👍🇦🇺
Wonderful. Loved this in 1960 and still love it in 2020!
You're not alone.
We’re here too
Greetings earthlings.
One of the great Masters
R. I. P. Roy.
Rest easy in God's loving arms
My husband passed a year ago we were together for 53 years. Life just isn’t the same. I miss him so.
just know that he is not in pain and that he is watching over you. god bless.
Glad you had good times together at least you had each other
God is close to the brokenhearted
have you ever seen a parade?
when you are watching the parade go by you do not see the whole thing all at once
you just see each band walk by you
but God is like a helicopter pilot he looks down he can see the whole parade all at once...the beginning of the parade and the end of the parade at the same time
that's the way he sees Our Lives he sees the day we were born and the day we will die and anything we have done wrong that would keep us out of Heaven God took it all and put it on Jesus
Jesus has already paid it all the second that you believe this you can know that you are going to heaven please share this
Mary Alvarado same here my wife died a year bk after 50 years
Sorry for your pain. We lost our son recently so I know the terrible feeling.
Elvis rated this guy at the top, hard to argue
I was in high school when this song came out. I was going steady with a girl, who I married three years later. This was our favorite song. That was 51 years ago. Still married to the same girl. Greatest song ever made!
good for you mate ;)
Bless you, My Friend. May the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY shine HIS face upon you and your precious wife, and may you see your grandchildren love the LORD with all their heart, soul, and strength. Bless You.
Champ !
rpetrics fair play to you and your wife,mine passed 4/1/12 and it's still killing me,
Deirdre I have and will always love you,nite bunny bunny😘😘😥😥
rpetrics Mu 57...
I grew up listening to his music and it will always seem timeless to me
i,m born 1952 and i love this mucik
@@iwannilsson4367 I wasborn in 1943 when I turned 13 my parents bought me a record player for Christmas,I still have all my 45 records but I think I wore out the Roy Orbison ones,he will always be my favorites the most beautiful voices,gone but never forgotten
I was also born in 1943 and had 45 records,I probably wore his records in 1961 I met my husband and it was the first song we danced to great memories
Elvis once said he wished he could sing like Roy
Geez we lost him way to soon, but God love him still after all the tragedy he went through he gave us music that was the absolute best EVER!
VERY TRUE BETH...
I was 2 young to appreciate his voice.. My god.. I can't wait to meet him when I pass on.. Amazing
@@1bridlington p0k pññ¿¿me encantaanota,Cómo cantan
Listening with tears... spent many evenings with my Dad listening to Roy... missing my Dad so much tonight..... sending hugs to all R fans xx
What tragedy he went thru 😢😢
So proud and honored to be a member of the baby boom generation...we really did experience the best musicians and innovators of music. Timeless music...
To all those here and departed who will join that “hell of a rock and roll band in heaven”
Thanks for all you gave us....
Yes It was a very special time, we were Blessed to have been teenagers then
We certainly were.
Roy Orbison always been my favourite singer wounder songs ❤❤sings with so much passion and so much truth I just wish that good friendship ❤can people as they are
Listening this melody during Corona pandemic from home 2020!
Roy Orbison concert in my home
Me too from Australia 🇦🇺
This is proper music and can only be sung by the big O rip Roy and thank you for the music
Me too! From Brasil!
@@In_His_presence4ever same from Australia too 🙂
very nice performance perfect one of my favorite singer from past decade watching from Philippines 😮😮😮 thumbs up ❤❤❤
How cruel that this beautifully voiced man was taken from us at 52. RIP Mr Orbison.
We are all going to die. Thats not cruel.
Ase ÒVERWIJK and live for eternity .. that is
He kinda made himself immortal with his music, i for one cannot say the same. But i haven't died yet, nor reached 52 yet..
He complained of chest pains for a Year b4, and never did anything about it.
@@pastordanielchristisking3375 I'm in my mid 60's...I dont know when I make my final curtain call...it will happen...when it happens ...
Why can't nowadays music be like this ?
Because it requires talent
Fritz Colburn There is tálent there-it's a case off getting through!
@@fritzcolburn The only talent today is either Dubious or doesn't exist..
@@terryofford4977 in "popular" music absolutely. The real talent is unsigned and in the subways.
Couldn't agree more
MY FIRST DANCE WAS TO THIS SONG, I WAS IN 8TH GRADE. I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN THE GIRL OR THE SONG!!! I AM 75 !!! LOVE 💘 ROY ORBISON !!!
I challenge anyone who is alive today to try to do a spot-on imitation of Roy's singing. No one ever has, no one ever will!
Okay "TiVoMan" who clearly is stuck in the technology of the past, there 100% has been. First, they're all over TH-cam, second, there are 7 billion people. Statistically, the chance of 1 person being able to is nearly immeasurably high.
Okay, "Doctor". Name One! Mr. Orbison's key changes and octave changes are totally effortless. In my short 68 years, I personally have NEVER heard anyone with his range. Whether an original song, a collaboration, or a cover version, I cannot recall a bad recording or any song he did not make his own.
Yeah no one was or is on Roy's level.
Why the dumb "challenge?"
Lewis C
I think TiVo was trying to bait someone. Unfortunately, the "Doctor" -- you know that techno-freak-- bit. I said "no one". Actually Jay Black came close with "Cara Mia", but could not hit the high notes with out hurting himself. Therefore, "NO ONE" is still valid.
When they asked Elvis who he felt was had the greatest singing voice, his reply, ‘Roy Orbison”
The Elvis vs Roy argument is interesting. It comes down to what a person likes. And singing is more that just vocal range. Otherwise Sam Smith would be at the top and I can barely stand to hear his voice. To me, nobody surpasses Elvis. He had the most beautiful voice I ever heard in rock and roll and he was the most versatile. He was a rock, country, and gospel star. Nobody including the Beatles had a greater influence on those that came after him. Don't get me wrong, I love Roy Orberson. But Elvis is the King.
Hahaaa! He also said that about Roy Hamilton. And Jackie Wilson. Elvis admired lots of artist. And many in turn admired his voice also. I can't imagine being surrounded by so much talent.
I think elvis was on a show in Las Vegas when he saw roy orbison in the crowd and he said to the audience that roy orbison is here tonight. The Greatest singer he ever heard
Willy Nelson and he didn’t lie even Roy’s remakes were AWESOME Case in point Crying with KD Lange
Elvis never covered a Roy Orbison song for a reason
I love the production elements in this. Back in the '50s and '60s, a song wasn't a song without vocal harmonies.
There was NO ONE like Roy. Period.
E-P-I-C ! Thanks to the Orbison family for uploading this.
Here's to one of the great voices to grace our ears. Thank you, Roy.
The greatest voice of all
A voice of a angel. Roy was the best of them.
M'n
Great great great honest singer. I think it's a shame they're using him in hologram concerts. It gives a whole false impression in action and feeling from the true man himself
And he wrote most of his own music.
When it was just Roy in front of a microphone (1965 Monument Concert) it was EPIC!
When it was Roy with an orchestra and all the accoutrements (A Black & White Night) it was EPIC! What did they both have in common? ROY! 🧨
Wow, starting at 2:10 when he hits those high notes and then right back down to the low ones is amazing! What a smooth and soothing voice.
I miss Roy Orbison so much. He is my Star.
I am very happy to have been a contemporary with them!
They made my life more beautiful!
Mine tooooo 🙏🙏
AMEN!, my friend. You speak for many more than just yourself.
Well said!😊
Roy Orbison ist ein fabelhafter Sänger ,👍🏻 alle seine Lieder sind große Klasse .🤗❤️
Inolvidable todos sus temas una voz muy aagradable y una presencia muy respetuosa que siempre viva en sus melodias amen.
Miss the music with so much heart. Miss his genius. So real, genuine humane being speaking from the heart.♥️♥️
Only Roy Orbison can get a backup lineup like this
Roy Orbison is the greatest. I never get tired of listening to his music.
j20tower me too but may black of the Americans is so good too
j20tower same here just love him😘😘
j20tower La
j20tower só quem viveu.
I realy agreed with u, his voise whs unforgetoble
One of rock's masters Mr Roy Orbison gone way too young. Rest in heaven Mr. Orbison.
One of the greatest songs of all time from one of the greatest rock singers of all time!
Roy... The big O... Still loving your music.... Brings memories....and happiness... Wow.... Love always... and to all Roy fans... Love you... it's been a odd year.. But we stand together...xxx ❤️ Lost my Daddy to kidney failure earlier this year ... but taking such comfort from you all... I love you all xxx...❤️💕
Roy Orbison was, and still is, the greatest artist in rocknroll. He was the complete musical package..Singer/songwriter/musician/performer. The best.
He will always be REMEMBERED
He is the GREATEST!!!!
Que bella musica y que bellos tiempos inolvidables❤
The smile on James Burton's face after Roy sings the first two lines says it all.
How wonderful it is to listen to the very best voice of all time, I adored Roy Orbison way back, in the early fifties, now I am 81 years old, and I'm still just the greatest admirer. RIP
77 next month, perhaps. I understand.
@OhYeah? The voice will always remain the best in my world. A beautiful voice never goes out of style.
It was a pleasure to be in his audience then to meet him . 3 My heart aches
What a voice! 🤤 The great Roy
I heard Roy's songs when I was young. The man's voice was an inspiration and I reveled in the magic of his music. I am old now, and I still respond to his music the same way. Except now, I have an appreciation of how enduring Roy's music is. Thanks, Roy. You've given me a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
When I hear Roy sing I'm in another dimension.
SuperDino2222 how many people's voices can you say that about?
Maravillosa cancion Roy has sido un magnifico cantante gracias Ellen xxxx
I'm waiting I can't wait to see Roy singing in heaven I'll be on the outside looking in or looking up to see Roy singing pretty woman with me to my pretty woman Alice you feel me
Super Dave man
Such great voice, I so love his music.
Une voix de velours Merçi Roy
A great song, a great singer!❤
Today I am 74 and tomorrow 11 October I will be 75.
I can't imagine that. This song remember my youth
Maria how do you manage being old the nostalgia ?
You might not need to take Roy with you.he is singing with the angels,his now backing group...I hope I meet Roy
In the next life
I’m in a hospital. I was tested me for the first test I had. The tested negative. I have one more surgery to have done my back. Please pray for me.🙏🙏🙏

How will prayers help ?
Elvis was envious of only one other singer and that was Roy. To me Roy was truly the king of rock pop during his incredible career and I had the pleasure of meeting him and spending some time with him.A true gentleman and enormous talent. He is in my top 10 of all time favorites..His songs will remain in our minds and hearts forever!
Elvis ruled and still does
@@rhondaclark3783 afraid not !!!!
I don't think he was envious. He was complimentary.
For sheer vocal chops it is very close between Roy and Frankie Valli. Elvis for as great as he was didn't have the range of these two.
@@csyelo6173 Agreed. Although I think Frankie sang more often in falsetto than Roy. I could be wrong. Elvis might surprise you with some of the songs on "Sunrise" if you can get a copy of that.
He was a very kind and gentle man who was respected by fellow musicians and loved by his fans. I was fortunate to see him in concert at Duluth(MN) Arena in Nov 1975. he was backed by the Duluth/Superior Symphony Orchestra. It was great and the house was sold out.
Starting the year with good music and health. Wishing to have more music like this.
U be pressed to find much better than this classic
The Voice of an Angel...Rest in Peace Roy
It's truly amazing, the amount of feeling this man could put into 3 minutes.
One of the few songwriters who wrote about heartache and losing someone you loved.
There's only One Roy Orbison. Never get tired of listening to his music!
Awesome song and performance from the BEST. Enjoy Heaven, Roy.
Notice the audience here as they recognize and applaude the song after just a few notes. Again the audience reacts after three opening words "Only the Lonely" pass from Roy's mouth. His voice was always clear and understandable, his words chosen for perfection. He was a true and very accomplished professional.
fishinsolitude They should have reacted after the first "dum"
+TheOnlyOneKingElvis I was sent here by Odessa Texas...
+TheOnlyOneKingElvis I was sent here by Odessa Texas...
not Wink?
+TheOnlyOneKingElvis I spent the summer of 1960 in Odessa. Odessa claimed him even though he was from Wink.
To me there hasn't been another artist with his calibre of voice and talent to write the songs like him. He is terribly missed
and thank God we have his music that will live forever! RIP dear Roy!
Angela Carleton I watched an interview where he said he didn’t want to know what his range was because he didn’t want it to ruin it by thinking about it not being to continue to hit the notes. Some have called his vocal gift operatic rock
Their will never be another singer like Roy. A great singer.
At the very top of all artists in are era, can anyone name an equal, what a strong voice and a superb clarity. RIP Roy you are missed by millions of your fans.
Plus his song writing.
Floor Jsnsen. Im not kidding. Her voice control is out of this world. Listen to her solo tour setlist if you're not much into heavier, big pieces. Or watch they've in Wacken 2012 show, where she was only with the band for a few weeks. The 2018 Decades live show in Brazil is more recent, her voice matured and she totally adopted all the songs before her and sings a few of the first album she was the singer on. The fantastic song writer of the band totally knows how to appreciate her voice and show her capabilities.
Que voz tan delicada y bien modulada. Era (sigue siendo en su música), un genio. Melodías inovidables. Momentos sublimes en nuestras vidas!!!
Como este maestraso no hay ninguno,para mi la mejor voz en la historia de la musica..
fue el icono de la melodia en esos años ...fuew in
This song really says it all. What a guy, had to go through some really tough times in his private life, But it never stopped him doing what he loved doing, despite all his heartache.
I like how all these famous musicians stand back and support this genius. They know their place. They can't touch the man.
They are just happy to be on stage with the one and only Roy Orbison
I absolutely agree with you, love ❤️ Roy,
Beautiful Angelica Awesome Music AMEN Thank YOU GOD
I LOVE this. Wow! The memories this brings back!!! No body but Roy Orbison can sing this this Good!!!! Love him so much. RIP Roy Orbison!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Back when there was REAL music, this guy was one of my all time favorites.
He could sing the telephone book and make it sound good. One of the most unique and best voices of the 20th century.
Always was my favorite artist since I was a teenager in the 50's and now at 76 still is and always will be !!!!!!!
Predator1 what did he sing in the 50's?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbison%27s_Sun_Recordings
He should have been dubbed The King. For as talented as Elvis was....especially with his gospel, he didn't hold a candle to Roy Orbison.
sliat1981 - It's a little late for a reply, but I am also in my 70's and can answer your question. Roy sang almost all the same songs as these you can find on TH-cam now. He wrote or co-wrote many of them. In high school I lived 9 miles from Wink, Texas where he grew up after leaving his home town of Vernon as a small child. We enjoyed him as a local celebrity who had radio & tv appearances with his band The Wink Westerners, and cheered when he became a real star. We also wept when tragedy struck his family later, and at his untimely death at age 52. His music is timeless and surely will live for generations to come.
@@solitarybee3714 Thank you for the reply .
By far the most beautiful and pure voice we will ever hear,the one and only Roy Orbison.Thankyou
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
My brother in law introduce myself self to this guy and I absolutely love it thanks Paul from pam
Amazing vocals even in his older years! No auto tune, just pure raw talent!! Absolutely love it!
He has the best voice of any person I have ever heard.
maybe not as spectacular and moving, but also so unearthly smooth, Sam Cooke
Love love love September 2020 Victoria Australia 💜
Hello 👋 how are you doing.
No one has a voice to compare, you hear the pain in each note he sings.
Absolutely stunning, what great a great performance with superb orchestration. Jackson Browne singing background vocals. The world misses you Roy!
among others, also JD Souther, a great Orbison interpreter ; on guitar, Elvis Costello, another Roy admirer
i will say it again. cant get enough of him and his music
Elvis said he had the most beautiful voice he'd ever heard and he envied Roy.....Elvis was NO slouch either...would have been great to hear a duo with them.
Elvis’ voice never could hold a candle to Roy Orbison~IMO
both good/Roy over the moon 🌝 🌙
one of the best live gigs of all time... respect
On a December night in 1988, I was returning to Providence, Rhode Island from
a hockey game at Boston College. I was riding shotgun in the front passenger
seat, and the car radio was playing wall-to-wall Roy Orbison.I was enjoying it and then I realized that there was only one reason the radio station would be airing constant Roy Orbison. Roy Orbison had died that day. For the rest of the ride, I continued to listen and continued to enjoy the sound of Roy Orbison.
Is there any other place to ride shotgun?
Tom Connel
RIP, Big O.
Very true it was 5th,,,,December 1988,,,, rem it went well
Yes, gone but not forgotten! These beautiful songs sung with that voice live on.
Эталон красоты в голосе и в музыке! Шедевр!!!
simply te best song he ever made and ten his orginal versie off the 60 s,supertalent....miss him 2022
The back-up band, including singers, have 25 to 30 Grammy's among them. I lost count. Most of them are stars in their own right. Only someone like Orbison could bring them together.
The only male singer that makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. No one will ever touch that golden tone again. Simply brilliant.
Roy era magico poeta.y era un maestro de la musica Decansa en paz co mi amor que te amaba mucho.Ello xxxxxxx
Omg that's funny! I just said this to my mother and flipped the scrolling down to this!
I sit and listen to him for hours. Such an angelic voice. No one has ever come close to that voice. I must say he is my #1. My #2 is Barry Gibb. And they did a few songs together, thought I was going to die. Roy lives in my heart forever. RIP Roy. Love always.
Totaly agree
I love this song! Here Brazil!
Hello Dora 👋 how are you doing?

What a BAND!!! Whomever produced and organized this should get a lifetime achievement award.
Shane Dial Well said Shane. Well said.
I think it was JD Souther
I grew up listen to this man, I remember being 7 years old and my dad buying his album in the record shop next to the jewellers where he’d taken me to have my ears pierced..... It takes me back to being up in bed and my dad having friends over after the pub and they’d play the records and sing along, we(me and my brothers) would sit at the top of the stairs trying to hear who was down there and working out what chance we had of being aloud down! Many happy memories
This song and Roy Orbison himself remind me of my father as well. My dad LOVED him. My memories are so bittersweet because sadly my Dad passed away on Oct 27, 2020. It's the worst day of my life thus far. R.I.P Dad. 💔💔😭😭
I love this c/d. Great music, so much talent, songs are great, Ambassador Hotel, sad that is gone. Great d/v, Roy Orbison & all others, brings nostalgia to me in this covid19, fr L. A. CA., GREETINGS
We need a movie for Roy Orbison..
Roy Orbison added so much to the Traveling Wilburys as well.He voice will always be missed.
Lefty Willbury I have the c.d,s
I love Roy Obison , his style of music ,his voice ,what a true icon he really was 😃😁
The sound balance on this video is absolute perfection.
Un gran músico, saludos a los que gustan de esta música. Desde San Luis Río Colorado Sonora México...
BERN RAMIREZ* Hello from Wisconsin. Great taste in music.

I will always just adore his sweet kind mannerisms, beautiful voice, I am 62 so I listened to his older music, I was so grateful he come back, and graced us with his sounds.
They don't make Songs like this anymore that melt the heart.
The one act that Elvis wouldn't follow. 'Nuff said.
I can’t thank my father for having the best taste in music I wasn’t even born when he released his Music ... I’m 51 and I adore this velvet voice no one can match it
Me too imy dad loved him and his music, x
There are very few artists I hit the 'like' button for at the beginning of the video. Roy Orbison is one of them.
MK Same here!
Got to love Roy and all the people who did this!
