- Roy Orbison and this all-star cast of friends (Bruce Springsteen, k.d. lang, Elvis Costello and more) perform Roy's "Blue Bayou," recorded on the Monument Records label. This video is from "A Black and White Night," available on Blu-Ray and DVD at RoyOrbison.com!
It's 35 years of his passing but today I'm still listening to his song.God bless his great soul.
This man always conducted himself with coolness, calmness, humbleness and classiness.
+Bill Bass attributes we should all live up to. Good call Bill Bass, good call.....
+Bill Bass definition of cool

And he could hit the high notes with barely a stir. How?
I totally agree such a talent and true gentleman total respect R.I.P. Roy.
Might be one of the best backup bands ever assembled. Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt... and even then everyone is glued to Roy. Truly one of the best performances in music history.
Yeah, take Bruce Springsteen out and I agree with you.
@@littleswissman Cry more. Your jealousy is so yummy and tasty.
You forgot the incomparable James Burton.
I agree but you also forgot J D Souther!
i didnt realise jackson was on this
And on the 8th day God created Roy Orbison's voice.
Roy Orbison is the one that I have a problem getting in my house with and it’s a big deal for my kids 4 years ago I don’t have a car 🚘 I just want a house I have to be a
@@davidazzopardi360 Huh?
Put the bong away and try that again later.
Also on that 8th day, Elvis' voice. Lind's, too.
Roy's vocal talent was incomparable. Additionally, he was genuine - a man with real CLASS. He was kind to everyone. He suffered terribly losing -- his wife and sons, yet he went on. What an example to be admired forever. RIP Roy and thanks for the treasures you left us.
I am from Latin America,we have really great singers but none is on Roy's Orbison level,for me he is the greatest voice ever,(sorry for my english)
Thank you. Didn’t know that
I was only 4 or5 years old when Momma started listening to him! I still I'm at 67 years old!
Me too, 67, strolling down memory lane remembering the best
@@grandmalizard4056 78 and a quarter hours of sleep in the last hour and I am so exhausted
Roy's voice makes you feel like your in heaven, then he kicks it in and you feel the vocal power he possessed. He brings out your emotions like no other.
Put in Indian summer. Roy with Larry Gatlin and Barry Gibb
I'm here again because I love and miss Roy Orbison. RIP Roy.
He is the best,loved him since 1960s,still love him, always will, his voice has got me through life.God bless you Roy.
I'm not religious, but Roy Orbison makes me believe it could happen that angels walk the earth sometimes. Not only an immense talent as a songwriter and singer, but also a very humble and gracious man. I remember I cried the day he died. I'm no so sentimental, and it hasn't happened since. I think next time I'll cry for the death of a celebrity will be when Brian Wilson leaves us. I still love Roy Orbison, I'll always love him and Brian Wilson. Musicians like these are so very, very rare. Let's be thankful we know them.
totally agree.
This lets you know how powerful emotions are and how wonderful the music that evokes those feelings.

Alexander Schoemaker
amen, my friend. Nothing better than this. The Beatles, etc, got their inspiration from both Roy and the Beach Boys.
Roy wrote most all his songs!! So talented!!
Really? Unbelievable
Now matter what era you were born, Roy's voice will give you a feeling of nostalgia.
I'm 38, from Russia. Wanna tell thanks to my dad, getting me familiar with Roy's songs. They surely make me better.
I will certainly piss off many people by what I shall write hence. Roy deserves the title of King of Rock and Roll more than Elvis ever will. I love Elvis for what he had and did. Roy wrote everything he sang and his lyrics were so damn real to so many of us. Elvis entertained. Roy related. Elvis was royalty. Roy was one of us. Elvis became the showman. Roy was the journeyman. I will always love Elvis and I will always love Roy. Perhaps Elvis is the King......and Roy is our hero and comfort. Roy is there when we need him most. See you someday Roy and thank you. Prince of the masses.
Ian Toomer A truly wonderful perspective, Mr. Toomer!! ❤️️👍🏼
I think Ian that they both were very talented musicians. Both had lovely voices. Elvis was known for his good looks, sexiness and charisma...Roy, less so, but Roy was a well respected Singer/Songwriter. They both had different styles....both wonderful and missed talented Gentlemen.
Ian, no one could have put it better, and Elvis did say Roy had the greatest voice in Rock & Roll. If there is a Rock & Roll Heaven Roy is singing to the Angels.
Ian Toomer
Amen Ian!! Bang on! Roy is King!
Listening during Corona pandemic from home 2020!!
Over and over again

Same :) in NC
2021 ;)
And here I am...2021!
His voice is really great.Such a natural and mesmerising voice.May his soul rest in peace!
In my humble opinion Roy Orbison is the greatest singer of all time, God given talent, what a man..
You are not the only one that feels that way
What a voice!!! Ain't no one that can top this EVER!!!
listening to Roy Orbison songs bring back good memories with my husband and myself
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I first heard Roy in about 1960 and became an instant fan. I was a very young man and throughout the years I bought just about every record and album that was produced by him. I listened to him constantly and to this day claim there has never been a greater singer than this man who died just too young. I still play his records on my old player but have now given many of my albums to my sons who also fell in love with his voice and songs. What a great gift to man and this gift is now upstairs welcoming all of us to the Lord's palace.
He hits the low notes and the high notes with ease
Just like Avi Kaplan
Beautifully sang by Roy Orbison !!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much !!!!!!!!!!!!. Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu May 7, 2020.
Thanks Roy for penning this wonderful music but Linda definitely nailed this.
I like Roy’s. Version better than Linda’s.
Roy Orbinson's is more heartfelt.
This whole night, this whole concert. It was something rare and beautiful. One of the best human voices in the second half of the 20th century, backed up by some of the greatest talents in popular culture at the time gave us something for generations to treasure.
It just does nor get better than this: I was privileged to see him live in London decades ago: never forgotten
Du Glücklicher!!!!!!!
His voice brings memories of all of the things that shoulda, coulda,, woulda. Crying over all. His voice is timeless.
the sweetest voice of them all - and what a band!
The love and respect these superstar musicians have for R.O. is off the charts.
Roy Orbison, a gentle man ,and a gentleman !
No
Millars Davids so what
Fact!!!
So Great That We Have All Of These TO Remember Roy...Love his voice! Rest In Peace Roy You Are Sadly Missed...
Where are the views? The likes? Too many people have grown up without hearing Roy Orbison!
time to catch up then. a lot to miss
You are right about that! We need to share! That man was half blind and lost his Twins in a house Fire.
Josee LLoyd Roy lived such a tragic life. RIP
yes he did. terrible.
I love the way Bruce stares at Roy...his idol. It's just beautiful
How happy I'd be if I could see!!! 🥲😪😭😭😭😭
Quelle voix d Amour 💓❤️
MERCIIii Monsieur Roy.
J aime la voix, les mains et le regard chez un Homme....
Il a tout cela et tellement plus je le devine...comme la sensibilité, la douceur... etc
MERCIIii, c est sublime
Admiration et Prières d AMOUR 💕❤️
If this doesn't reach right to your heart, you my friend, have no soul....
Mark Rocovich Freddy Starr
Right on, brother!
Absolutely
or heart..
I had the honor of attending his concert twice! No video can show that Orbison's voice was so powerful that he didn't even need a microphone! 🗣️
Hello dear,how are you doing?
@@davidmoore2325 who R U ?
@@davidmoore2325 I knew David Moore. Are you that David Moore with a brother Don Moore? humm
@@mygoddess1 NO,am daivid moore from houston texas,where are you from?

Roy did for this song as male vocalist, what Linda did for it as female vocalist, and she's no easy act to follow, bravo to Roy and Linda, magnificent !
Great singer, great song, great set. Class.
How is it possible that Roy lived until 1988 and I born in 1991. I certanly born in the wrong age! Good music, excellent singer. I miss something that I don't know exactly, but I find it when I listen to such beatiful music.
Love this man and his music ..Awesome singer .. Wish he was still here .. R.I.P. Roy ...
I'll never forget reading that even Elvis Presley was quoted as saying that his favorite singing voice was this great man, Roy Orbison. And what's even more amazing was that Roy never sounded better than at that Black & White concert at the Ambassador Hotel, in spite of it being only a year or so before he passed away. I know that Linda had a big hit with this song but damn, the way Roy did it was the greatest!
THIS , was the voice of heaven.
REAL MAGIC THAT NIGHT!!! We are so lucky to be able to REPLAY this OVER and OVER!!! R.O. RIP...CRYING...
Magic...nothing like this anymore..the best..
Hauntingly beautiful
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Roy Orbisno was and still is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed
I miss him so much
Totalmente de acuerdo con ud. "El mas grande singlista"....
The original, and still-and-always the best artist who ever sang this song.
What a beautiful man
Listening to Roy's performance here, I give the man full respect. Great song.
A once in a lifetime voice.❤
I love this black and white...
Old America still lives in his voice.
My favorite childhood musician...Roy got me through those lonely nights.
Oh so so beautiful!
Roy had the greatest voice of all time!
He was also one of greatest writers too!
Nobody will ever top Roy Orbison!
Lovely thoughts
Elvis called Roy The Best Singer in the World & love & miss them both ♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️👏👏👏
Hello dear,how are you doing?
a gentle soul, a man that suffered so much....a great performer.........always remember.....
No one could sing like him, he was a gem. Gone but not forgotten.
It's not just the voice, it's the impact of every word, every note, perfection!!
No one can beat this beautiful legacy.His family must be so very proud.Wish he was still with us.But God wants him more.xxx
Right now, Blue Bayou is where i wish i was, Roy Thanks.
Beautiful!
Wow. His voice never ceases to amaze. When Bonnie Raitt is your BACK-UP singer, you know you have arrived...
+johnvannewhouse No ego, never from Orbison, and I think the musicians/singers took their clue from Roy's example. Such harmony in both the Songs, singers and musicians..

johnvannewhouse I think it's the other way around. When you've been asked to sing backup for Roy Orbison, you know you have arrived.
Arrived? Roy's first hit ,on the charts,was in 1956 , when Bonnie was 7. She grew up hearing him.
@@sambac2053 Way to miss the point, guy...
Will always be my favorite
Such a voice, it's comforting to know that him,Tom,and George are having a grand time singing together again.
Well, people always say things like that, but maybe, maybe not.
I saw Roy live in concert, he was pure professional. One of the best concerts
I have ever been to.
Effortless singing. Just amazing. So sad he left us right after this was recorded. To those ignorant of rock-and-roll history, please look up and study Roy Orbison, his 5-octave range, and how he sang. Roy is, IMO, the top ever R&R vocalist, followed by Freddie Mercury. An amazing, professional gentleman talent.
I agree with you almost 100 per cent. But I never consider Roy as a rock and roller... a poet, yes. Angelic voice but not for rock and roll
My dad used to say Roy was the only Man could sing all 8 octives, barely opening his mouth
@@Bubbsmaster Roy sings rock, but not only, as Elvis... Great artists!! From France.
Sad, but the fact the universe left Roy with us just long enough to record this for posterity, convinces me life is ultimately good.
As a big Queen fan I couldn't agree more. Roy is at the out-of-this-world level.
Everyone who sang or played on the Roy Orbison Black & Night White must have been the most honored people in the world
In my opinion, he is the king of rock and roll. Doubt if a singer of his caliber will ever come again. My favorite of all time.
I am Super Grateful for Roy Orbison"s Outstanding Talent & Soul Magnitude To Give Humanity His Love, Honor, Kindness etc Through his Love for US. 💖
just the best my nana loved him , I think of her every time I hear roy sing , great memories xxxx RIP NANA AND ROY X
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Yeh, if were the second greatest musician of the 20th century, I would want to play back-up to Roy Orbison! No other voice like him!
Congratulations! You have found greatness!
Damn beautiful.
Roy Orbinson was a stone cold killer. Man. What a voice--and what brilliance in using it.
Such a beautiful voice! I feel so sorry that I never had a chance to listen to Roy at blue bayou!
Just my opinion, but the Best Voice of the 20th century.
The voice of voices, no doubt!
Yes, it's hard not to agree with that
if angels walked among us. Roy was certainly one.
Cathie Morgan add Jay Black to the best too! Listen to Jay and the Americans
Plus all the other centuries
No voice could come close to this man's. He was given to us at the right time, and left way to early. Thanks for all the great nites of music to love to.
Bravo, Roy Orbinson !❤ Phenomeal tune Phenomenal " co workers "
Best version of Blue Bayou.
Yes, other people lack the sensitivity and the sympathy of another person.
Ascult cu drag cantecele din acest concert
Don't know what to say...a velvet, beautiful, natural voice x
Julia Boyd an angel the big O
❤Roy what a Legend
There is more Musical talent on this stage than in the entire world of today
Im going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou..........love so much...great song...
Roy had the best voice of all time! His
beautiful tone with vibrato was amazing! No body could ever sing as
lovely and wonderful as him!! God
Bless Roy Orbison forever!!
All true, though Linda Ronstadt version is equally amazing and a tribute to Roy Orbison
the man never lost it
A wonderful haunting tune that sounds as fresh today as it did when first released.
Can never get enough of Roy . There will never be another with his talent. We miss you Roy.
He's one of the very best.... Was.
James Burton's Tele fills are masterful! Genius!
His vocals are are like a soft breeze on the docks
Dang,I wore out eight tracks with this song then cassettes and two cd's. Now I have two copies of Black and White Night still playing this cooler than cool melodic master of blues rock.He is beyond cool,man,He is Frosty,man,Frosty.
+Rick Hemphill Yes Sir, absolutely Excellent. I fire it up and still it's the coolest song out there. Can't wait for the one that eventually beats this [if ever]...
He makes singing look effortless! Elvis said Roy Orbison voice was one he wished he had'
I'm just glad I had the chance to listen to such a fab voice that will never be replicated. The guy was a vocal genius thanks for you for the memories.
What show to see in person. Wow!
Amazing voice...A great and humble person....
We miss you Roy 😪😪
Still listening in 2022..🥰🥰 and have listened to these tunes since seems like forever already 😊😊
Much as I do have an appreciation for other artists trying to do "his" tunes..they just don't "cut it"..🙁
What a great singer
Too beautifullllll love it Roy is a God
Hello dear,how are you doing?
