@@ar3728 I'm listening to Don right now and I'll agree that he did a wonderful job with the song!! I think I like Roy or k.d.'ions better, I hear more emotion in their voi8ces all the way through the song.
I remember when they first did that song together on the Johnny Carson show in 1987. They barely knew each other ... but wow, what a rendition with two very powerful voices. I had goose hairs all over my body listening to it. My dad was a big fan and in 1982 I bought my mom and my dad tickets To a Roy Orbison small concert venue. My dad couldn't stop talking about it... it was the best gift I ever gave him and my mom... the tickets only cost $13.50 each. My Dad died the same year as Roy Orbison in 1988.
There have been many duets. There will always, only, be one of these. Music that transends, that transports us. This pair took me somewhere with this rendition and yes, I cried the whole way. Simply sublime.
Never ever thought that this song could be performed by anyone else other than Roy Orbison. But KD Lang proved me wrong. What a fabulous version of a classic song.
Roy was not your typical R&R or even country singer. Aside from his incredible voice with a range very few have, Roy was a great songwriter. Roy knew tragedy, pain, joys and all the range of heartaches and triumphs of this life. Being a shy person, everything Roy was came through in his songs and performances. KD's torch & twang powerful voice and connection with Roy's spirit made them a perfect duet.
Fyi.. Legendary producer and guitarist Pete Anderson who was Dwight Yoakams producer for 20+ years was the producer of this cut. I agree it was the best cover of the song ever.. Pete's talent as a producer along with the phenomenal talent of Roy & KD made it extraordinary!!
This collaboration was simply out of this World. Two huge voices that complemented each other so well with vocals that went hand in glove. Total respect to the legends KD Lang and The Big "O" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I LOVE IT! Roy knew talent when He saw K.D. and how only so very few like her in the world could have sang a duet with him.GREAT GREAT GREAT vocals.May you rest in peace Mr Orbison how the world was blessed with your music!
Duets like this don't come along every day. I'm glad that someone had the genius to match the power of k.d.lang with the timelessness of Roy Orbison on this classic song. The coupling of these two masters pales any imitators.
The cresendo effect at the end of this duette is simply amazing, literally breathtaking best appreciated with a good hifi system. Its a pity this duette is so short in duration, could listen to it being played over and over.....
My Mum died 28 years ago today, aged 52. This record was out at the time and remind me so much of her. Miss you so much Mum - I'm 53 now and I'll never forget you xxx
I’m on my way to see my hospice client. His final day. His family told me yesterday they grew up w him signing Roy. I’m making a playlist. It will be a beautiful day
My world stopped when this song, performed by two incomparable artists sing together. Everything stopped until they finish, leaving me speechless and dumbstruck.
Rarely does a re recorded song sound as good but this one does and KD voice is perfect in this song. A great duet for sure. The first time I heard it I had goose bumps. Great one here!
All these years later, still just as beautiful, and now it means more to me than words can say. My Mom loved them singing Crying together. She passed away a year ago last June 😢
This duet is one of the best examples of SYNERGY. I enjoy both singers as artists and each's solo version of this lovely song. But together they made something legendary! Perfection.
K.D. Lang and Roy Orbison fans will enjoy and appreciate veteran vocalist, Shirley Bassey, who performs one of her classic hits, 'I Am What I Am'. Bassey has, and still has, now in her mid-70's, one of the most powerful voices of her generation. This clip is from a 1987 concert.
KD Lang is one of the few performers who is in a league of the Great Voices of all time, her current band and live act is an example of what creative perfection is
Beautiful, haunting, heart-wrenching song. One of my all time favorites! Roy O. was an extremely talented writer and singer- he gave the world some great music. this is one of the best duets that I've ever heard- just magical!
Love them both so much 💞 and RIP Roy thank you for sharing your talent voice with us and I admire KT she has a powerful voice lol used to have a huge crush on her
Brings me to tears every time I hear it. R. O.’s passing Is such a tragic loss. K. D. Is a very dynamic singer and she gave 100% to a classic song and it showed up quite obviously. A true tear jerking performance.
Roy and KD singing this wonderful song. I'm not sure any other duet could have done it better. Roy definitely sang from his heart & I'm betting touched a whole bunch of people with his words and singing from his soul. He sang what we all felt at one time or another in our lives.
I never, never get tired of listening to him, and KD just makes it all the more sweet. Aclassic 50 years ago and it will be one 50 years from now. No one has ever had a voice like that.
Roy Orbison left this world way too soon - I grew up listening to him and got to see him perform at billy bobs texas a year or so before he died - I will never forget that - his songs will live forever - RIP Mr. Roy Orbison we miss you
What a fantastic duet. K.D. Lang complimented this song with Roy perfectly. I saw another video of them singing this song standing next to each other. The emotion in that video shown by K. D., standing next to her idol, singing this beautiful song was epic. I have over 100 songs sung by Roy Orbison, he was one of the greatist singing talents of all time. Such ashame he passed away at such an early age.
How can anyone give a thumbs down to this masterpiece? I've always loved this song but I have to admit, k. d. lang makes this the perfect duet. I get goosebumps everytime I watch this video.
No kidding! wow, Kd has the best vocal TONE I've EVER heard, one of my favorite vocalists. How this happened with a legend like Roy, makes me believe in fate totally....
After watching Hollywood Graveyards, I am appalled that this amazing artist had no grave marker. If his wife was upset about debt, why didn’t family or fellow musicians step forward like supporters have done. Did he not have a fan club?
Some people and some songs you never forget. These our the two people and the song. What great voices and what a great song. Roy, you will never be forgotten for what you did for the music world. I know they are enjoying your singing in heaven.
I must say : I have been in an R&R band for almost 40 years so i know a bit..... But I have to say ....when you listen to this song I get the feeling and I bet many do as well, that when the finale comes, K.D. is gonna step in for Roy and sing those incredible high parts..
To the arranger of this specific version … kudos And the lead guitarist accompanying … All of it … even the divine K.D. Lang There to support Roy Orbison’s mythological being in this song Tonelicious classic
I grew up with Roy Orbison back in the day when I was young and now I'm still heartbroken over his passing and I can't imagine what the world will do with out him around and I can't believe he died in the 1980's when I was in the 4th grade in 1988 and he was terrific at anything and I admire him for his music he made and I'm not over it yet but I think he was so talented and gifted at the same time in the years since he started performing in the 1950's to 1980's music and he may God rest his Soul forever!!
I was 16 when he died. It hit me hard, I absolutely adored him as he made his huge comeback. Still miss him. One hell of a singer and human being to have that effect on people.
who ever put the thumbs down must not know the magnitudes of these people roy orbison is one of the greatest singers of all time and kd lang also to have both of them together is just awsome!!! it will never happen again.. Roy Orbison will live forever in my heart,i practice his voice alot because hes just spectacular love Roy and miss you you have a fan for life!!!
k.d. lang is the only one I’ve ever heard that could even get close to matching Roy Orbison’s voice. ❤️🎼🎧🎶💙
I don't think there was ever another voice who could have matched Roy singing this song. Both k.d. and Roy had such powerful voices!
Str8
Don Mclean's version is also beautiful. Check it out.
@@ar3728 I'm listening to Don right now and I'll agree that he did a wonderful job with the song!! I think I like Roy or k.d.'ions better, I hear more emotion in their voi8ces all the way through the song.
I'm addicted to this song and its varieties of versions.

One of the best duets ever produced! Two powerful voices that made this song so meaningful and timeless!
Beautiful together.
KD Lang is waaaay under rated.
What a voice
Oh no, she has had a long and successful career, not ''underrated'' at all. Look her up. She's well respected in the music world.🥰
2024. This goes out to anyone who shed a tear for someone they loved and lost. Two great voices, one gone now. RIP
This has to be one of the best duets of all time.
I feel like this is not a song, this is an emotional experience.
Perfection.
Beautifully put
@@lisac4215 can you tell me how I find out who the musicians were on this version besides Roy?
@@hannahcress6289 her name is Kathryn Dawn lang
@@lestat305
NO 🔊 . The guitarists etc etc.. Of course she knows its K.D 😂😂😂
@@hannahcress6289 llll
There have been many duets. There will always, only, be one of these. Music that transends, that transports us. This pair took me somewhere with this rendition and yes, I cried the whole way. Simply sublime.
There’s another duet that’s special to me. Watch Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman and thank me later 🙏🏽
I'm there with ya. Beautifully said.
Yes. Absolutely amazing both
@@luisfigueiredo9906 I always thought this was very well done !!
Chills....two voices like liquid gold..touches the heart so deeply..
💖 said perfectly
You have a way with words, well said. A RO fan.
My thoughts exactly !!
I agree! Do you know who the guitarists are behind Mr. Orbison, please?
@@hannahcress6289
Google .. has ALL yor answers 🙏👍👍
Never ever thought that this song could be performed by anyone else other than Roy Orbison. But KD Lang proved me wrong. What a fabulous version of a classic song.
Love how their voices perfectly mesh at the end. Beautiful
kd lang is a goddess, Roy was a legend. This performance ranks as one of the highlights of all musical history. Irreplaceable.
Like Sineads OConnors tribute to Bob Dylan..
Roy IS a legend.
Seamless.. I am crying at the haunting beauty and
Poignancy of this performance…..…..two unbelievably talented vocalists! Real treasures….
Is there a single person who has ever had their heart broken, that is not in tears?
I love the versions of both of them singing this song individually, but together... I mean, this is magical. Just... wow!
Roy was not your typical R&R or even country singer. Aside from his incredible voice with a range very few have, Roy was a great songwriter. Roy knew tragedy, pain, joys and all the range of heartaches and triumphs of this life. Being a shy person, everything Roy was came through in his songs and performances.
KD's torch & twang powerful voice and connection with Roy's spirit made them a perfect duet.
K.D. Lang's voice fits this song GREAT!!!!
I don't think Anybody can sing this song Better than Roy or K.D.
This song never gets old. 2022
KD Lang - wow, wow, wow!!!!!
& 2023 as well...
Love kd lang
...2024
Best version of this song I have ever heard. Simple outstanding!!
Fyi.. Legendary producer and guitarist Pete Anderson who was Dwight Yoakams producer for 20+ years was the producer of this cut. I agree it was the best cover of the song ever.. Pete's talent as a producer along with the phenomenal talent of Roy & KD made it extraordinary!!
Might be the greatest vocal performance ever.
The best duet ever recorded, hands down. Vocal perfection!
I totally agree.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! SO BEAUTIFUL 🙏❤🌎
So was Wunderbares zwei wunderbare Künstler Roy mochte ich schon immer mit seiner schönen Stimme❤❤❤ danke schön für die schöne Erinnerung❤😅

STILL one of the most beautiful ever. The first time I saw them perform this together was on the Tonight Show and it sent chills -- still does.
I feel you
zYou get Goosebumps Invoking feelings Inspiring emotion You Let be Dormant. Roy Thank you!
I agree! Do you know who the guitarists are standing behind Mr. Orbison?
@@hannahcress6289 probably one of his long time band members or studio guy

Eines der besten Lieder mit dem absoluten Duett ever ...
Ein Geschenk!!!
My Mum died 28 years ago today, aged 52. This record was out at the time and remind me so much of her. Miss you so much Mum - I'm 53 now and I'll never forget you xxx
God Bless Stevie 🙏🙏
My Mum died last year at 91 and this is my song for her too xxx
Stephen ... Fifty two; too young to pass away ... my most sincere condolences ....
Today is my mama’s bday. She introduced me to kd. Roy was her favourite. My mama has been gone almost 8 years. 💔
Sorry for your loss.
One of the most beautiful duets. Can’t believe he was just 52 when he passed. He was magical.🖤
The world was just re-discovering Roy's talents and re-learning his wonderful songs when he died. What a loss. Just as he was making a comeback.
I LOVE that every one of his songs ends in a beautiful crescendo!
I’m on my way to see my hospice client. His final day. His family told me yesterday they grew up w him signing Roy. I’m making a playlist. It will be a beautiful day
Two of the greatest voices to ever Grace a song. They are perfection. Rip Roy. Love you KD.
The note Roy hits at, "For you DON'T love me." Perfection. Goes right through you.
I know what you mean.
Yes absolutely
He literally sounds like an angel. Or how I’d imagine, at least, haha!
Yes!!!!!
Crying. It's all here. Tears of loss. Tears of sadness. Tears of astonishment. Tears of anguish. Tears of joy. This performance evokes all of these.
My world stopped when this song, performed by two incomparable artists sing together. Everything stopped until they finish, leaving me speechless and dumbstruck.
Rarely does a re recorded song sound as good but this one does and KD voice is perfect in this song. A great duet for sure. The first time I heard it I had goose bumps. Great one here!

When you can sing with such a tremendous voice as she has, who the hell cares who she happens to sleep with? She is an amazingly talented woman.
2023 I love the f-rigging little smile at the very end. “We nailed it.” 🕶️
Amazing collaboration of two great singers! Still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. RIP Roy 🙏💕
CRYING = THE GREATEST LOVE SONG OF LOSING SOMEONE OF ALL TIME! This duet is magnificent and I still miss Mr. O!
Roy and KD singing this wonderful song. I'm not sure any other duet could have done it better. Roy definitely sang from his heart & I'm betting touched a whole bunch of people with his words and singing from his soul. He sang what we all felt at one time or another in our lives.
Roy Orbison has been One of the best performersand balladeeers of all times. Unforgettable
The most awesome duo ever , so beautiful
I never, never get tired of listening to him, and KD just makes it all the more sweet. Aclassic 50 years ago and it will be one 50 years from now. No one has ever had a voice like that.
Good grief, those two just compliment each other so well. An outstanding song performed so well.
I love it how they share a smile at the end; like they know they've just recorded a classic.:)
Right!
My all-time favourite singer Roy Orbison together with the superb k d Lang its never better than this. RIP Roy. 77 year old UK fan.
How about those two cute smiles at the end? Two very powerful and yet gentle singers. The best of our generation. Thanks for posting RO.
This is my all time favorite! It makes me go out of body and embrace the whole universe with an overwhelming emotion.
The most powerful, sad and beautiful song about unrequited love. OMG this duet never fails to send shivers up and down my spine.
Can't be any more complimentary than what's already been said ❤
Roy Orbison left this world way too soon - I grew up listening to him and got to see him perform at billy bobs texas a year or so before he died - I will never forget that - his songs will live forever - RIP Mr. Roy Orbison we miss you

I lost my Mother, my bestfriend, June 2006, I'm still not over it. I still cry at least 5 times a week. I miss her so badly.
Roy is still the man folks and K.D. Lang really added to this great song for the ages!
Eine der großartigsten Gesangs-Stimmen überhaupt !!
WOW!!!!! Tears in my eyes! The "big O" never lost it to the end!!!
How can anyone give a thumbs down to this masterpiece? I've always loved this song but I have to admit, k. d. lang makes this the perfect duet. I get goosebumps everytime I watch this video.
Wish I could give this 2 thumbs up. The great Roy Orbison and K.D., Bravo.

Great duet. K.D. has quite a voice
A-FREAKING-MAZING! I am beyond blown away! It brought tears to my eyes, and gave me goose bumps! Their voices sound fantastic together!
ALWAYS SENDS CHILLS UP MY SPINE !!!!!
Agreed. Orbison was THE voice of his generation in rock music. Miss him.
This version of Roy Orbison and kd Lang is in my Ten top favorite songs sung of all time. May be in my top two.
No kidding! wow, Kd has the best vocal TONE I've EVER heard, one of my favorite vocalists.
How this happened with a legend like Roy, makes me believe
in fate totally....
This is one of the most profound versions of a song I ever heard. Total Brilliance.

Tonelicious classic
This duet always brings me to tears since I lost my husband in 2014.
He had a wonderful and haunting voice. Loved his songs.....
Love this version even more with them both. 😢
The harmonization between these two is exquisite! Very moving and powerful...
When a song moves you to goosebumps and a teary eye, it's amazing. This song does it, I LOVE it!
Can't stop listening.
They killed this song. Miss Roy so much
I Remember when they did this.....magical!!!
