Orbison must have had the best male voice ever recorded. Love seeing Johnny Cash totally enjoying Roy's voice, almost in awe, but definitely holding his own, even when he loses track for a second.
Not to take away from your comment or from Roy Orbison, however, you have to consider Frankie Valli in the running as the best male voice ever recorded.
This is so wholesome. Roy changing keys for Johnny, Johnny apologizing for messing up the bridge. Theres just so much love and respect in this clip. I liked Cash's music, but my mom just loves Orbison. He seemed like a really nice guy, and what a voice.
It’s like the nerd geek and the badboy Yet they are both my heroes and I’m only 39. There’s something very tragic about the whole thing. I’m laughing and crying at the same time. Love you both man. So much
@@prr8755 In fact I’m gonna watch this again right now. This may offend most people but for me Roy is way above Elvis to me who was majorly overrated. The only thing he sang that blew me away was “If I Can Dream”. Had Elvis done albums full of songs at that level I would have loved him.
@@VinylSamuraisMusic - I love all of them. Idk what it is about Elvis, but I genuinely like him just a _tad_ better than Roy & Johnny. Roy & Johnny wrote many of their songs, unlike Elvis, but Elvis just has such a powerful, earth-shattering voice; that's what puts him above the other two, imo. But all three were great talents in their own ways & I love them all.
You’re so true mark, you should only listen to this type of music because it’s good and it’s in your comfort zone so it doesn’t require you to expand your taste.
Orbison had a vocal range that no one in popular music could match at that time and probably even today. That jovial performance made that fact abundantly clear. Roy knew it. Johnny knew it and now, the whole world knows it. But, man did they have fun!
johhny just loves this man haha never seen 'm laugh like this bob dylan said so himself too, he had the best voice of that period roy was indeed one of the best voices out there
When he inducted Roy into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fane, Bruce Springsteen said that when he recorded Born to Run he wanted to make a album that sounded like Phil Spector, had lyrics like Bob Dylan and sung like Roy Orbison. He soon realized that NOBODY can sing like Roy Orbison
Harry. B. Renner. jr, thank you! He was a very humble and shy man too. I read he also practiced good manners and was really courteous. That added to his appeal too.
That's for sure. I've worked in or owned recording studios for over 30 years and I've witnessed the decline of true musical talent over that time. It's become a time of computer-generated music(?), with groups fronted by people who can't sing. Country music was one of the few holdouts, but now we are beginning to see Country-rap with the younger generation, so I'm afraid it's only a matter of time. Truly sad.
Priceless. Doesn't matter if their ranges didn't match, Johnny forgot the lines of the song and the guitar issues. Just great to see these legends together! It's not as though they were recording an LP-just enjoying singing together! GGGRRROOOWWW.
Most who join the stage with John are covered in his shadow, he was always humble, but never the less it was hard to match the Man in Black. Roy does so effortlessly and John is so respectful and honored to sing with him. This is so wonderful to watch.
I love Cash. That being said, there is not a person who Roy was in the shadow of. In fact, he was really holding back and toning it down in this clip. Elvis and Tom Petty both said he was the best singer they ever heard.
Johnny had great charisma; so humble yet so strong. And Roy, always the gentleman, was guaranteed to be the best singer in the room. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!
Especially when you had music like this around. Not the BS people are putting out now all this Rap and Pop music makes me want to invent a time machine go back the the late 1960s and live the rest of my life out there. Enjoying the real music. Oh how I miss this music playing more on radios etc.. Now every moron thinks they can be the next Tupac, Or Beiber. Its BS phoney shit. And most of the shit so called musicians (you know the ones that actually play real instruments not this computer generated garbage) most of these modern tossers dont write thier own songs and probably couldnt read sheet music if their life depended on it. As a musician myself. Its people like this that gave me the energies to play and do what i do. Thanks guys. Chriss 🇬🇧
Holy cow. What I wouldn’t have given to have seen them both live, especially here. God they would’ve been amazing together…I was too young to see Cash live (I was 4 years old when he died), and I wasn’t even born yet when Roy died. RIP to them both.
My favorite part of this whole performance is at 2:24 where Roy stops playing at the place there should be a drum break and the band keeps going. It's funny when he hits the chord again a second later hoping the band will stop. Great to see two legends having fun together. RIP Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash.
sadly they are BOTH faking this, Roy starts playing in Blat, riff in F... (it's in A, riff in E) then reverts to proper key later in song on middle 8, total fake, probably so JC can sing along... VERY odd
Love this performance. It shows two amazing artists at the height of their careers singing a great song. And it's not the 'wrong key', it's just a different one. How can it be that wrong if it's Roy's song with him singing it. Anyway, I don't really consider this a full performance, I like to think of it of an 'unplugged' session between two of the greatest singers the world has ever known, just enjoying performing and each other's company!
@@bradhuskers Elvis certainly did not destroy Roy in any musical way. Roy had a much higher range and wrote many of his own songs. In fact, there is a famous story in which he was offered an Orbison style song and admitted that Roy could cover the notes better. Not to say that one is better than the other, as that is plain foolish in any form of art, but very few had Orbison's range... period. I think the song in question may have been "In Dreams." Listen to that song... I mean, really... listen to that song. Although, I certainly will give Presley a nod for the end of Maria's Her Name!"
@@robertpierson8206 Stop embarrassing yourself. In 1960, Roy was on his way to record "only the lonely", but stopped to offer the song to elvis, because at this time in elvis's career, his power and range were equal with Roy's. Elvis's "it's now or never" "surrender" etc...showcased his strong vocals in the early 60's. Roy knew this and thought that his song would be perfect for elvis. But it wasn't meant to be due to scheduling conflicts. Point being? Is that your low IQ caused you to display your stupidity in here. Elvis presley actually arranged several of his critically acclaimed gospel recording studio sessions. That alone speaks volumes about elvis's artistry. Here's another fact lost on a low IQ weak minded sheep like you. Roy lived decades longer than elvis, yet failed to equal the tremendous amount of critically acclaimed recordings as elvis. In a very very short career, elvis's critically acclaimed body of work in the recording studio, DWARFED Roy's. Despite Roy living longer. Elvis's body of work was in more genres of music as well. Elvis was light years more diverse than Roy. Just the sheer soul depth and diversity of elvis destroys Roy. At the end of the day, roy lived longer and still failed to match the sheer magnitude of critically acclaimed recordings. That speaks volumes. Ella Fitzgerald is another example of an artist far greater than Roy was. Ella Fitzgerald didn't write lyrics. Yet like a true iconic artist, she created masterpieces in the recording studio. Your low IQ prevents you from getting that reality. You are one poorly educated sheep.
@@robertpierson8206 I laughed at your first low IQ comment. Quote, Elvis certainly did not destroy Roy in any musical way" End quote. LMFAO LMFAO I laughed hard. Then felt sorry for your parents and kids. Two iconic artists come to mind. Ella Fitzgerald Elvis presley. Neither wrote lyrics. Yet BOTH destroyed Roy when it. Came to their critically acclaimed bodies of work in the recording studio. The sheer magnitude of their recordings, DWARFS Roy's Ella Fitzgerald's interpretations of the great American songbooks, are critically acclaimed masterpieces. The writers of those songs could NEVER equal the level of artistry that Ella brought to life in the recording studio. Not even close. Jerry lieber and mike stoller, two Jewish boys from NY, NEVER could've brought the artistry to the lyrics they put down. Had Roy's schedule lined up with elvis's in 1960, Roy would've handed elvis another blockbuster hit. In 1960, elvis's vocals were as strong as anyone's in the music industry at that time. And "only the lonely" would've been knocked out of the park! But it wasn't meant to be. However, your notion that elvis couldn't handle Roy's songs? IS STUPIDITY on your part, at a level seldom seen. You are very poorly educated.
I can barely remember Johnny's TV show but I recall all the people he had from various music genres and he always seemed like everyone had a great time.
@@vanessak.1100 He really wasn't. Vocal wise, this video just shows how once in a life time Roy was. Johnny couldn't shine his shoes and he knows it, just watch the video. Both legends in the exact sense of the word, both my idols and both different. Roy was one of a kind though.
@@marianng3950 both kings but johny couldnt shine his shoes, what sense does that make yea they are both kings but unique voices too johny had the best baritone voice out there, the best and most influential country singer while roy had an amazing voice too but he was more of an early rock singer

Both greats, just one is on his own level
Wink, Texas is where Roy Orbison was from, which is 6 miles from my hometown of Kermit, Texas! His band played at my Dad's oil company party before he got famous.
This was such a treat. Granted, Johnny had trouble remembering the verses, but that only added into the fun. I laughed the whole way through because of how well these two get along. This truly shows the deep friendship these two great musicians had.
Yes, and also I shoud note that I'd never seen Cash showing such reverence for anyone before. I guess any singer would feel the same in Orbison's presence :-)
I noticed it too! I've seen docus of other singers/guitarists talking about Roy and they all had this reverence in their voice when they talked about him.
And this was filmed around a year after the fire. From what I've read, Johnny was a great help during that period in Roy's life. He bought the land the house used to be on and planted an orchard there. I think John Carter Cash married Roy Jr. and his wife, too.
'You did fine John' was probably the best compliment Cash got, the one that matters anyway. When Roy says that, you're not so bad. But you'll never be Roy Orbison. People claim him to be so modest, and forget that he isn't deaf.
so much class together, still cracks me up that Johnny didnt want to sing te high notes, his voice was so deep he could have just arrenged those parts to him, but still pure gold from the great Roy and this improvised duo.
I went to the Texas State fair in Dallas in 1977; saw that Roy was about to put on a concert. Since I had an 8- track (look it up you younger folks) of his greatest hits, I thought I knew what to expect. When he came out and started to sing, there were very few people in attendance, but his marvelous voice soon filled the place. I don’t think anyone stayed sitting down long. Fantastic voice; much better in person than his recordings.

Also shows a true mastery of his craft to just change the key and keep it rolling.he was the real deal.

And this was filmed around a year after the fire. From what I've read, Johnny was a great help during that period in Roy's life. He bought the land the house used to be on and planted an orchard there. I think John Carter Cash married Roy Jr. and his wife, too.
@@enopfa catch Johnny with Roy Clark and his antics, no shortage of respect there either, for another great Roy.
Where has this video been all my life!??? Too much greatness for one stage.
Lovely to see the big O performing with a fan
Saudade.desses dois formidáveis.cantores !!! Bravooo !!
Me to. They where brilliant
Two good friends having a good time here. They lived next door to each other.
'You did fine John' was probably the best compliment Cash got, the one that matters anyway. When Roy says that, you're not so bad. But you'll never be Roy Orbison. People claim him to be so modest, and forget that he isn't deaf.
so much class together, still cracks me up that Johnny didnt want to sing te high notes, his voice was so deep he could have just arrenged those parts to him, but still pure gold from the great Roy and this improvised duo.
I went to the Texas State fair in Dallas in 1977; saw that Roy was about to put on a concert. Since I had an 8- track (look it up you younger folks) of his greatest hits, I thought I knew what to expect. When he came out and started to sing, there were very few people in attendance, but his marvelous voice soon filled the place. I don’t think anyone stayed sitting down long. Fantastic voice; much better in person than his recordings.
