It was in Las Vegas, though, that Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley met for the last time. One night in December 1976, Orbison was closing his show at Caesar's Palace, when Presley suddenly came on stage. Elvis announced to the crowd that Roy Orbison was “quite simply, the greatest singer in the world.”
Roy attended one of Elvis's concerts in Vegas in December 76 sadly his last engagement at Vegas Elvis didn't have the best year in 76 but ended the year doing some great shows leading up to Vegas and a tour leading up to a fantastic concert on new years eve
When this song came on the car radio in the early 60’s, my father cranked up the volume and exclaimed “ This song is about your mother”! Yes, she was drop dead gorgeous.
One of the best songs ever written , the lyrics or message, the operatic voice, the modulation , the iconic guitar lick . One of the top ten rock and roll songs
if you watch the video, BLACK NIGHT with Bruce Springsteen and a host of other singers andmusicians, you can see springsteen absolutely adored him...Springsteen said ...'no one else has that voice!'' its unique...very unique.
Here's to the one Snd only all time awesome ROY ORBISON. Gone but not forgotten - He will remain in the hearts and minds of ALL his fans forever. I am so thankful that I had the chance to see him perform live - what a night that was!!!
mm they have different kind of voice ,i think roy orbison can hit low and high notes ,Johnny cash had a lower voice than roy but Johnny cant hit the higher notes than roy did , at once Johnny invited roy to his show and they sang pretty woman ,But they lowered the key of the song so that johnny could sing it
I don't understand why people can't just enjoy the greatness of Roy, Elvis, Jerry Lee, etc., and not rank them against each other, they are ALL unique, electrifying, full of charisma, great, AWESOME, and, HUMBLE!!!!!
Pretty woman, walkin' down the street Pretty woman the kind I like to meet Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth No one could look as good as you, mercy Pretty woman won't you pardon me Pretty woman I couldn't help but see Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be Are you lonely just like me Pretty woman stop awhile Pretty woman talk awhile Pretty woman give your smile to me Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah Pretty woman look my way Pretty woman say you'll stay with me 'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right Come with me baby, be mine tonight Pretty woman don't walk on by Pretty woman don't make me cry Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, OK If that's the way it must be, OK I guess I'll go on home, it's late There'll be tomorrow night, but wait What do I see? Is she walkin' back to me? Yeah, she's walkin' back to me Oh, oh, pretty woman.
S0 ein netter sympathischer Sänger und Mensch Dankeschön mein Lieber Lieber roy,vielleicht sehen wir uns irgendwann mal wieder hoffe es geht dir da oben 👍 ich wünsche es dir hast es verdient ❤❤❤❤
Thanks to TH-cam we get to see this Icon of pop music play one of the absolutely greatest songs ever written. We can even see the chords as he plays them! For some reason, this tune has been stuck in my psyche for at least a week, and so I am learning it on guitar. What other song so perfectly nails the experience of first seeing that special woman who just knocks you over?! . This is songwriting perfection. By the great Roy Orbison.
Today it´s 26 years ago that Roy Kelton Orbison has died. I remember (I´m 69) when I first heard his voice,It was in 1961.I was at my first ime out of Germany in Austria,for holyday.And then I heard for the first time ``Only the lonely`` From this moment on Roy Orbison was my Favorit. No one in the Show World was better than Roy Kelton Orbison THE BIG O
26 years ago? Damn, I feel so old. I am now 57 and grew up with the music that you grew up with - 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. Some of the 90's were good but not like those 4 decades. Although I do like some of Green Day, mostly Wake Me When September Ends. I, also, like the Big Band era, especially Glenn Miller. And old, old country music like the Carter Family.
You are so right that Roy will always be among the R'n'R gods that came down from Mt. Olympus for a time amidst us. R'n'R fans still love his unique music.
The greatest singer ever, his voice is THE voice.... THE GREATEST VOICE EVER IN ROCK'N'ROLL, the boss says so. nice song... great composition... lovely performance.... great artist.....
Love 💘 💘 💘 💘 it great singer and song and lyrics to wonderful job.Thank you so so much for your charity benefits..great job nicely done...Awesome music channel too
Im from Brazil...Brazilians love this music...Earth of samba, carioca funk, young rock 80 and sertanejo (brazilian country) : Brazil. But we live american music
Sadly, many of our truly great talents have gone! Roy will always stand out as a superb entertainer and musician. I wish I could have seen him perform....sigh.
thank you for posting this it is fantastic. Roy has that beautiful/gorgeous /angelic voice,which will never be replaced. RIP Roy your beautiful music will live on forever thank you very much 2-12-21
Absolutely one ofof the best versions of this great song by the ultimate singer that has ever lived. I saw Roy 4 months before his death in 1088 in Austin, Texas. The hair on the back of my neck shot straight up when he hit those unreal notes. When you hear a Roy Orbison song, you know immediately who is singing. Very few singers have ever had that ability. RIP Mr. Orbison, What a band Heaven must have. God loves music 'cause it projects joy. And Roy is the lead singer.
Max Aronow You know what I meant, brother!! I ht the wrong key while listening to the song and after smoking some damn good shit. Forgive me, Father for I have sinned!! Ha! have a good one!!
His music was a blessing to soldier of the 82.nd. Airborne my home. Forth Brag and yes every day I list to his songs. Good memories and bad but it is a confert to listen yes he is truly one off the very best
The man, Roy you were our legend, what a impact you have left us, we won’t see the likes of you again, heartbreaking you left us so soon & young, bless you must of been so tired & worn, rest & sleep in peace, just a bit selfish, wish to god you were still with us, with your stunning hartbreaking vocals, RIP, ❤️❤️
I just watched Roy on a show in 63 doing Pretty Woman and then watched him in 85 doing the same pretty woman and that poor man had worn himself out in just that 22 years!!!!! Bless his heart!!!
Infelizmente não nasci nessa época, mas eu curto muito esse som! A vibe dessa música é demais, assim como tantas outras da mesma época... Bons tempos que não volta mais 😓🇧🇷🎧
Me encanta ésta presentación de Roy Orbison. Núnca lo ví solo lo escuchaba por radio portatil. En mis años mozos. Ahora que deja esta preciosa música , la disfruto... gracias por compartir bellos recuerdos.!.
Roy Orbison is a very underrated artist.
He is a real superstar!!!
It was in Las Vegas, though, that Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley met for the last time. One night in December 1976, Orbison was closing his show at Caesar's Palace, when Presley suddenly came on stage. Elvis announced to the crowd that Roy Orbison was “quite simply, the greatest singer in the world.”
@@alexemark - Dylan, Harrison, Lynn and Petty said the same thing.
Roy attended one of Elvis's concerts in Vegas in December 76 sadly his last engagement at Vegas Elvis didn't have the best year in 76 but ended the year doing some great shows leading up to Vegas and a tour leading up to a fantastic concert on new years eve
The crowd are just enjoying the show, no cell phone, just the music.
Tiempos normalitos...
They look bored
@@ben6077 ¿como se dirá "un eres mente de pollo" en inglés?
Legendary.........the one and only Roy Orbison.
One of the greatest songs he made and sang! Nothing like it!
Yes, as good a song as has ever been written. The girl/boy thing!
Roy Orbison may not be with us anymore, but legends never die!
When this song came on the car radio in the early 60’s, my father cranked up the volume and exclaimed “ This song is about your mother”! Yes, she was drop dead gorgeous.
er er no she was not,
@@brian.7966 go back to your nursery school because this media is not for tots.
I wasn't even born in 1966 when the song came out but it's still a great song
😂🔥🇨🇦😂🇺🇸
Your dad rocks... I like him
Roy was the real deal. Simply outstanding singer/songwriter/performer.
Dude… I was mesmerized by this performance. ‘Pretty Woman’ is timeless
In dreams...lovely words to reflect on...I chose this song for my husband Roy’s funeral....
it's a crime we've never gotten a biopic on this underrated legend
Roy Orbison is the most humble Rock and Roll star that I know.
I broke down and cried when the man died. I never knew him personally, but he meant that much to me.
Roy had one of the best voices in all of rock and roll.
right next to paul mccartney
no way ,listen the song crying or running scared by roy orbison ,paul mccartney can t hit that notes
Nobody can sing like Roy
He is the 8th greatest after Johnny Cash, Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Neil Sedaka.
He is the greatest of them all.
He is the best that ever has sung a song.
Namaste!
A legend that will never be forgotten.
Man, Roy still had it in '85. 25 years after he hit it big. What a talent, we lost him too soon.
Yep. He was actually having a renaissance in his career. Wasn't it just a couple months after this that he passed?
@@rustyneuron He died in ‘88, a couple months after the Traveling Wilburies last album and his own last album, Mystery Girl.
Wow his voice never changed his entire career......he still had a lot left in him
The Man in Black with black glasses. Since beginning till death. The ONE and ONLY Roy Orbison. We all miss you Roy...
This generation/ Era seems like it was all about Talent and not Face. 💎
One of the best songs ever written , the lyrics or message, the operatic voice, the modulation , the iconic guitar lick . One of the top ten rock and roll songs
+Tommy Haynes his voice never falters or changes no matter how old he gets..
if you watch the video, BLACK NIGHT with Bruce Springsteen and a host of other singers andmusicians, you can see springsteen absolutely adored him...Springsteen said ...'no one else has that voice!'' its unique...very unique.
"Roy Orbison plays for the the Lonely"...Thunder Road
Tommy Haynes l
array Gatlinkw where are their faces a
Tommy Haynes I agree with you.
Roy Robison has a voice of perfection in all styles of his singing 'like all is music ..C.j keith
Yes, he could never be pigeon holed into one style. No question.
I don’t know anyone who sings better than Roy. Not Elvis, Beatles, Barry Ryan. He’s an Angel
Muy bueno me trae muchisimo recuerdos un genio
@@jeffconway8729 😅Recordar es vivir gracias por eso. .Ricardo Morales

Que envidia sana haber no estado en ese tiempo y entre ese publico...me hace llorar.
Here's to the one Snd only all time awesome ROY ORBISON. Gone but not forgotten - He will remain in the hearts and minds of ALL his fans forever. I am so thankful that I had the chance to see him perform live - what a night that was!!!
THE MOST beautiful voices of all time ❤❤
I was there with my buddy Nick, great internet-free times :)
I WAS THERE !
THE GREATEST VOICE EVER IN ROCK'N'ROLL, the boss says so.
The greatest singer ever, his voice is THE voice....
The girl at 1:12 certainly is a pretty woman. Very cute. I wonder where she is today. And Roy was an EXCELLENT performer. May he Rest In Peace.
got it :))
Okay
Gooooood
The greatest singer ever, his voice is THE voice....
I love Roy too, but in my opinion Johnny Cash is the best.
mm they have different kind of voice ,i think roy orbison can hit low and high notes ,Johnny cash had a lower voice than roy but Johnny cant hit the higher notes than roy did , at once Johnny invited roy to his show and they sang pretty woman ,But they lowered the key of the song so that johnny could sing it
maximiliano monopoli yeah I was thinking similar, but I decided his vocal sound, even image a bit was Cash crossed with Elvis
Elvis by a mile
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 _
How can anyone dislike this video, i don't understand people...
Promoters ran off with the money. Or it was world aid or both.
I don't understand why people can't just enjoy the greatness of Roy, Elvis, Jerry Lee, etc., and not rank them against each other, they are ALL unique, electrifying, full of charisma, great, AWESOME, and, HUMBLE!!!!!
I had the thrill of a lifetime to see him live in 1986, absolutely fantastic!
Jest świetny zawsze będzie byłem mały ale pamiętam te hity i nie zapomnę ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Roy Orbison is the original man in black.
Elvis jesteś boski i byłeś.
Część Twej Pamięci.!!! 🇺🇸🇵🇱
Wow love Roy great perfomance bravo💖🎤👌🔥💕love this men💖💖💖
BEST SONG
a generation without annoying mobile, just wonderful
Pretty Woman

Pretty woman I don't believe you, you're not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy
Pretty woman won't you pardon me
Pretty woman I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman that you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman stop awhile
Pretty woman talk awhile
Pretty woman give your smile to me
Pretty woman yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman look my way
Pretty woman say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
Come with me baby, be mine tonight
Pretty woman don't walk on by
Pretty woman don't make me cry
Pretty woman don't walk away, hey, OK
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night, but wait
What do I see?
Is she walkin' back to me?
Yeah, she's walkin' back to me
Oh, oh, pretty woman.

I like Roy, but no one in my opinion is better than the great John R Cash.

One of the greatest songs ever written and sung by an icon - Roy Orbison! Saw the Broadway play written for this song in New York City, August, 2019.

Song reminds me of my dad. He always talked about Roy Orbison's amazing voice, even when I was 5 years old and didn't even know who he was.
Magnífico Ray Orbinson. Quando essa música foi lançada em 1964 já era muito moderna para a época.
Curti demais, tinha 15 anos.
Мне было 8 лет.,....🤗❤️

This is the real McCoy. Man! Those vocals, and guitar works. Lost for words.
Those drums sound so good
This song is fantastic, yesterday, today and Tomorrow.
Talent like this doesn’t exist anymore the best of today’s music don’t hold a candle. The bass on this one is kicking!
