Lyrics:
I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove the long straight road ahead, uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
Crying to get to you
Is that all right?
Crying, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
Crying
Elvis Presley said, "In my humble opinion, Roy Orbison is the greatest singer I have ever heard."
Good ear.
They're both Kings. Who's to say the throne of RnR can't be shared?
For elvis to say that , unbelievable, and elvis being the singer he was, think the two where as good as each other,
john thomas
Elvis was Right !
Elvis refused to ever follow Roy onstage. There was a reason for that: Roy had superior range to his voice that couldn't be matched!
I played this for a dear family member with dementia, she started tearing up and said she hadn’t heard this song in so long 🥺 She remembered! Music is amazing, it lives in our hearts and minds no matter how sick we get 💔
I agree.
Roy Orbison is in a league of his own. He was a fantastic singer I'm 65 and I remember all his songs
So true
I hope you are all coping the best you can and you and your relative are still enjoying moments like that together. I was listening to this the other day and thought it is really timeless like a lot of Roy's work, I think dementia is timeless in a way. It is such a powerful and emotional song, i wonder if that has any relevance.
I have a similar story with my friend's grandma! Roy was something else, forever remembered. It broken my heart when I had to tell her he passed.
The way he goes in and out of his falsetto voice is flawless.
Can you explain this a little please?
@@jacobbaker348 he changes from his chest voice to his head voice with ease.
@@jeffluebben7244 ok thank you
insane
a singing coach called him "a freak of nature"
she was jealous >:)
yes
I was a little boy, when I came down the steps in the middle of the night to get a drink and saw my father and mother dancing to this song. I stopped when I got to the bottom and watched. I can never remember being any happier as a little boy, when I went to bed. I have never heard this song, after that night without thinking of how my father was looking at my mother. they both loved Roy. 😎
what a beautiful memory Michael!
What an awesome memory that you can cherish
It sounds like they loved each other very much as well
❤❤❤❤
That’s beautiful. That must have been magical.
Playing this for my mum who died 6 weeks ago. She loved Roy and we are all crying over her. ❤ RIP mum. xx We love you.
So sorry for your loss. You will catch up to her one day and reunite
Sorry for your loss.
@@patricklarkin9666 thank you for the replies
@@jimmay6786😊😊
My sincere condolences to you may she rest in paradise and rest assure you will be with her again..sending love your way from Phoenix Arizona
There was not one person in that audience who could possibly fathom that millions of people would be watching this video of this song on a phone 50 years later
kixbagsandblocks George Orwell wasn't there?
you are so right he won't be forgotten ever
not til 84
never never ever will the big O be forgotten
kixbagsandblocks yeah....
50 years later and we still haven't found anyone in his league. Unbelievable talent.
no. nothing anywhere near his league. you're exactly right.
You got that right refirebird. No one!
No one can touch gods angel
Burton Cummings. These eyes? Stand tall?
So amen!
No laser show, no gimmicks, just God given talent. No one can hold a candle to the great Roy Orbison.
And above all: no autotune!! All natural, real, as is. No comparisson with today's artists. At all. This level will never be reached again. The greatest of all (recorded) time. And not just imho.. 😏
@@EdjeBos And here comes the simpleton autotune comment. Do you think you are clever for posting this?
God isn’t real lmao
People sat still in their seats in amazement of his talent, instead jumping around acting a fool like they do today, to make up for their lack of talent!
@@saraparson3334 what’s so bad about having a good time
When Roy sings, the world stops.
Wow...
Think about this: No auto-tune, no special effects beyond those of the time, no lip-synching... At that time, what you could do live was the same as what you put out in the studio. Pure talent. What a beautiful voice!!! We need artists like that these days.
Saw Roy live in Chester and he’s as good live as he’s on his records, just stands there playing the guitar singing, brilliant
I'm afraid this level of talent is gone forever...
boomer take, autotune /pitch correction is an instrument, special effects can be heard on this, theres reverbs and delays, i get what youre getting at with the lip syncing tho , not to mention their guitars were ran though tons of special effects, same with all of the other equipment it took to record but ye
@@Annii_Oakley_ clearly havent ventured to find such talent, thers lots out there but old people usually just search for shit they listened to when theyw ere young and dont listen to ANYTHING but that, but thats okay, its human nature!, whats funny is the listeners tend to be like this but the artist they listen to made friends with other artists who do different types of art and other types of music they see as talented, or if not more talented but yeah
I am a metalhead through and through. That being said, this man was the greatest vocalist ever.
Excellent taste my friend xx
What is a « meathead »?
@@coralhammond3100 lol metalhead. Someone who listens to a lot of the heavy metal genre. Although meathead isnt inaccurate a term for some of us.
Bunch?
He sure is. Roy orbison was one of a kind.
Just to let you know, the audience isn't bored... thats what captivation looks like.
during that time, Roy seemed alien, with his many pitches of tone.
Well said indeed
The young lady in the audience may not have clapped but she was moved.
Not bored and not even on their cell phones!
Watching that boy talk to his friend reminded me when I was performing and a woman was talking. I never got more upset especially since ir received such an ovation. It was like I'm working here!
Anybody else cry when this song comes on. Like not sad or happy just emotionally packed.
true
Yep.
Exactly! Very few singers have that talent.
BUSTED...LOL
Roy Orbison makes my hair stand on end. Literally. Only Maria Callas and Diana Damrath (singing opera) are so consistently amazing. Also Freddie Mercury -- especially when he sings with Montserrat Caballé.
Roy had perfect pitch. Stands alone in my book. Elvis was right. Warm and tender.
No amount of vocal training can give someone the ability to sing like Roy. This is why I laugh when some people say hard work is all you need and talent is just a myth.
I went to a Roy Orbison Concert in 1964, and only a couple hundred people were there.
There he stood, on stage, black suit, skinny, in horned rim glasses and the sound system was not that great. But when Roy Orbison opened his mouth a bad sould system didn't matter. He stood there and sang hit after hit, including "Crying", nothing moving except his lips and fingers on the guitar.
It was a fantastic performance, by the best. It's a wonderful memory. I'll never forget the concert I attended and saw and heard live the great Roy Orbsison when his voice was at its peak.
Elvis Presley's favorite singer.
+Randolph Phillips .........Lucky you ... I would have loved to see him live ... the best I got was on TV
Thx for sharing. I'm mesmerized watching his performances. You're lucky to have witnessed his soft mannered genius in person.
Randolph Phillips Oh wow Randolph, I'm so jealous! You describe him so well, his voice gives me goosebumps.
I've read that he was surprised by his success. When he did the "Black and White Night" album, all the other musicians (who were ALL very talented in their own right) would say "Oh, wow! That's Roy Orbison". He was deeply humbled.
Dwight Yoakum (sp?) once said Roy's voice sounded like an "angel falling backward through a broken window".
He's a fellow Texan, so I like him as a matter of pride.
Randolph Phillips~ What a memory... You were blessed!
I am an African American woman in her early forties from the urban area of Detroit Michigan and I can attest that music is universal and timeless because I absolutely love this song and my hats off to you the great Roy Orbison. It probably doesn't hurt that my mom a hillbilly from the hills of Arkansas played this type of music in our house all the time 🎵❤️
Your Momma had class!!
Roy Orbison could make anybody cry. Even a turnip.
Hi April, my mom used to play his records up and down every day all day long...I miss that now.
I'm a Texas Mexican man and this voice rings in all my heart too
I'm a Texas Mexican man and this rings in my heart too. Love anyone who does💞💖
What a voice! We lost a beautiful person when he entered eternity. His songs now belong to every one who loves his music. Fantastic, just fantastic!
@Hello Rene how are you doing
Unglaublich diese Stimme und das Gespür
Er und Elvis waren mit Sicherheit die besten Sänger und sind es auch geblieben!!!
Song is so damn good, I’m 14 years old but the songs from this guys era were just better
I’m also 14 and only discovered my love for Roy Orbison’s music because of the recent In Dreams musical which you should definitely check out, I can try sending it to you if you want.
Good on the both of you for immersing yourselves. Your lives will be all the richer for it. My mum used to play an old radio station when I was a boy, those songs are pure gold to me now.
Listen to the duet with kd Lang.
Try listening to the music from the 50s 60s and 70s and 80s that some of the best music ever written.
❤
A man with a single instrument and a lot of talent who touched many hearts with only a guitar, and good voice. Roy orbison's music should live on forever.
That voice and not all the equipment have these days
Nobody can perform like this in 2020. A simple guitar, no backup singers, just pure raw talent. Not needing anything except his mesmerizing, powerful voice.
Concordo com você
@@tuffcookie100 olha amigo, a música atual está muito chata, eu diria que sem sentimentos. Aqui no Brasil está horrivel, aliás em todos os países. A música está terrivel.
Yes Roy was so right on Elvis also loved Roy it’s down somewhere Elvis bought hundreds of Riys song and gave them out to everyone she knew!!💕❤️👍👀
Birth control is the reason.
The great ones are no longer being born.
Plenty of people can, just not a lot of mainstream artists. Big record labels care more about money than talent and money comes from appearances, music doesn't have to be good for the artists appearance to be good.
monster talent here. Insane vocal range.
And LOUD… I’ll bet he was really loud when he wanted to be.
Yes; unique !
Roy Orbison......remarkable talent.
The musicians backing him up deserve a ton of credit as well.
The live performance of this song stands up to the recording.
Not that easy for the band to pull off. Especially the bass and drums.
yes I agree, cheers from Vancouver!
I'm wondering if that's Bobby Goldsboro playing guitar in the band.
That was my thought as well, especially as he got further into the song..who are these guys?? I thought..not just some pick up high school group.
I just noticed something here...The young girl at 7 secs into the video...watch her..she appears as if she has lived this song. Then watch her at 2:57, she literally breaks down, drops her face in both hands and starts crying. I feel so sorry for her. I hope she was able to reconcile with what might have been the Love of her Life. She would probably be around 74 now.
She was very pretty too.
I also noticed that. This is a powerfully evocative song. In fact, the greatest that I have ever heard and I have been around quite a while.
@@michaelpeterson1482 I agree. This song rings true in my life too.
She might have just been moved by the song. She didn't necessarily have to have the experience described in the lyrics to feel those emotions. That's the power and beauty of music!
@@michaelpeterson1482 When Roy sings "cryyyyying" his voice sounds like it's crying. His voice is so emotive!
Played this song at my husband's funeral still cry every time I hear it
As I get older I love Roy Orbison more and more...his songs reflect so many of my life’s journey...always with tears.
If this voice doesn't meet us in Heaven, something is dreadfully wrong.
+Jeffrey Nocera this is one of the best comment i've ever come across! Greetings from India
+Garry Bedi And it's awesome to see another fellow Indian who listens to Roy Orbison. Not enough know about this gem!
Without a doubt. Can you imagine the concert?
You got that right, Jeffrey! See you in heaven. God bless.
He died at 52. He was just too damn good for Earth, I'm sure he's an angel up there greeting all the newcomers.
Roy Orbison was the first concert I ever went to. I was 16 and the venue he was at held 2000 people. I'm still listening to him sing. RIP Roy.
The crowd was on fire 🔥 for this concert 😁. God bless you Roy
They were AFK.
@@thatguywhowaves1589 You know what the song is about right
Not a black person in sight lol
@@spudman9451dont care they were afk
Even Elvis admired Roy's talent. An unmistakable voice, he's still missed after all these years, RIP Roy
This man had a voice from God the likes of which will never be heard again! I'm 68 and was blessed to grow up listening to his beautiful voice and haunting songs when my generation thought the Beatles were IT. Elvis said he had the greatest voice he ever heard, and Roy said he had a 2 1/2 octive range baritone voice. When I listen to the junk of generations who came after Roy I feel so sorry for the people who never heard voices and music like this great legend!
He played, he wrote/co-wrote, composed, arranged his songs, and that Voice; he was simply the best!
And always be james.
Thank God we can still hear his fantastic voice forever
and since 1985 we have had Chris Isaak. described as Roy and Elvis's love child
Who stars in new film impulse
@@dj8 I'm getting some strange visuals since reading that.
has there ever been a better voice? i don't think so.
+Nick Falletta luther vandross was pretty damn good
+Nick Falletta It's Roy O's bday in heaven April 23. He was 52 when he died of a heart attack. :( He was Simply the Best.
+roter13 GET SERIOUS !!!!!!!!!! UR ON DRUGS RIGHT ??!!
+Nick Falletta Orbison was great... but Smokey Robinson #1 for me...
I was never aware of a better voice than Orbison.
When you just don’t hear the beautiful words……but feel them as well. MasterPeice!!!
Elvis was one of the best ever!! But he was right. Roy was the best !!
Everyone says Roy is a really quiet and shy person. But look at his effect on the audience when he is performing. He has the power to zip the mouth of everyone so they can pay attention to the music.
I am 65 and I play his songs on a weekly basis, I have loved his words and the way he sings for nearly 60 years, there will never be anyone to emulate him R.I.P Roy Orbison
What a voice!!!!
well said...Am 68 myself.
No one will ever be able to replicate him
This is such an emotional song. The man really does sound like he is crying. Beautiful voice!
I think he is crying inside when he sings this song ❤
A voice of PERFECTION from within a genuinely decent and warm man. We miss you Roy...RIP.
My dad just passed. I’ve cried and cried.
Crying now❤
😢
Just goes to show how mesmerizing his voice is that everyone there is calm. Not like the venues today were people are crushed to death. RIP My hero.
A lot of singers add so much vibrato so it sounds awful, but he can add so much vibrato without making it sound bad, amazing
Yes, he is such a subtle singer.
My dad loves to listen to his music, I (21) am now listen to roy's music all the time! What a legend!!
The big O, he had such a range of notes in his voice, that truly made him unique, a great singer.
Sou fã incondicional. Canta com a alma. Teve uma vida de muitos sofrimentos. Faz falta, deixou saudade!❤❤❤❤
Over 50 years later, I'm still crying. Roy was THE greatest.
No autotune there son just pure talent!
C'est impressionnant sa voix , on croirait entendre Elvis 😱❤
Elvis Presley called Roy Orbison, "the greatest singer in the world".
@Hello James how are you doing
One of the greatest songs ever!! It still brings me goosebumps!!
lol 😂
Absolutely f'g right
I saw him perform on the stage at our local movie theater in 1956!! I was 16 and Elvis was 20❤️😢
One of the most beautifully sung song. Roy's music stands today like the Beatles, Bee Gees, and Elvis. Nobody has ever sounded like him and that's what Legend are made of. I still remember when he passed away. My grandmother was in shock cause we had just watched him on TV. He's got that voice that you can never forget.
@Hello How are you doing
Watching him and listening and missing those times has made me cry. He was just amazing. So glad I was a teenager in that time and place. Also a free range child.

Your text touched my heart!

caline450 Greetings from Maine USA.
same here friend.
hay canciones y epocas que nos marcan !
Is that anything like a free range chicken?
The young men in suits and ties and the young women in dresses and sweaters politely listening. How refreshing.
Yes!!!
How he changes his voice tone in the middle of the word must a gift from the elder gods. It’s practically impossible. He showed such great respect and love to the gods with his voice.
His voice was one of a kind. So haunting. I used to listen to him as a kid and be enchanted. What an incredible talent.
Last night while flipping through TV channels I came across a Roy Orbison documentary on my local PBS station which brought back memories. Back in the summer of 1988 myself and a friend went to Great Woods in MA (which is now the Xfinity Center) to see The Beach Boys. Roy Orbison was the opening act. I knew of his music and amazing voice but seeing him perform live in person was just amazing! I’m grateful to have seen him perform live because in December of that year he passed away at the young age of 52 from a heart attack 😢😢. I remember reading the sad news of his passing and still have the Rolling Stone magazine edition with him on the cover after his death. One thing that struck me while watching his documentary was an interview with his wife Barbara, she was asked how Roy would like to be remembered. She said “Roy would say I just want to be remembered “. I will remember you Mr. Orbison, thank you for the memory. RIP sir.
This is my favorite song by Roy. The Black and White concert must have been incredible to see in person with all these amazing musicians. Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Brown, Bonnie Rait, kd Lang, Tom Waits, T-Bone Burnett, JD Souther, Jennifer Warnes and of course Roy himself.
The audience is totally captivated.
Not only his voice is flawless but how good it is to see people being civilized, happily listening to the music, without drugs, booze and all the nonsense which only dulls such a beautiful and memorable atmosphere
You can do both my guy
Roy was a perfect singer , he had a gift that only a few have , but we will hear his voice again one day
My God, how fantastic, his voice is so incredible.
This is one of Elvis's favorite singer's. That's telling you something.
Roy left us at 52, Elvis at 42.
“Nothing gold can stay.” -Robert Frost
Just listened to the K. D. Lang version and was blown away. When Roy died he said the K. D. was the only one he wanted to sing at his funeral.
My wife met his Drummer yesterday while delivering his mail yesterday in Knoxville Tn.
Nice guy she said.
One of the best sad love songs ever written sung by the Master of the Ethereal - the Great Roy Orbison. It doesn't get much better than this, and the backup band was on point.
Just Fab
The audience didn't know what they had at the time
A few did...
They did. People in Europe those days used to really listen to the music and only clapped at the end. I remember when Janis Joplin came to Europe she thought the people didn't like her because they didn't react like US audiences did.
Probably in the 5 best voices ever on Earth.
As a newly recovering addict, this song speaks truth to me. Though the lyrics speak of unrequited love, I reflect upon them my powerlessness in resisting temptation. There's a hole in my life, and though it's better covered up, there's no direct way to fill it in. All us destructors with any conscience live with remorse, and grow from it day by day. But everybody needs to cry eventually.
The one singer that can do him credit is k.d. lang. She is an amazing artist in her own right, but her ability to capture his vocal range is right on.
@Hello Mark how are you doing
maybe its a good thing that they're not screaming, at least they're actually listening to his beautiful voice.
Well said xo
It's been over 50 years and no-one has come along to rival the masterful voice of the the great Roy Orbison. God bless this wonderful man and what he has meant to a whole generation of fans.
I love listening to his songs Roy Orbison is my favorite singer of all time. How are you Ursula ?
His voice spanned several octaves.
When he sang in the Traveling Wallburys, George Harrison said that his voice was so loud that he drowned out the rest of the group.
This song is nuts. It just escalates and then splits in half and escalates again. Compositionally radical, man.
I went to se Roy in the early 80's in Seattle at the Coliseum at Bumbershoot. Went for "Old Times Sake>" Figured he was washed up by then. 16,000 people were treated to the most unbelievable exhibition of singing talent in their lives. His voice rang out like a bell! Clear, beautiful & powerful. I've seen damn near everyone, nothing like Roy Orbison.
Was fortunate enough to see Roy live in the early '80s. We were in a venue that held close to two thousand fans. I'm pretty sure most of us were wondering if he "still had it" considering his age at the time. Let me tell you when he hits those unbeleivable notes as crystal clear as we all remembered the entire house held it's collective breath and when the moment came everyone erupted in jublient cheers. I thank the Lord that I lived in the time when I was privilaged enough to know, hear and wonder at the voice of Roy Orbison. RIP, Roy, you left us much too soon.
I am 67 years old and first heard this song as a teen and still tear up at the pain in Roy Orbison’s voice. Classic.
I love listening to Roy's voice in the same way I love listening to Karen Carpenter's. Just amazing.
Roy que talento hermano, alla en el cielo, yo creo seras la primer viz junto a Elvis y otros grandes de la musica.
My darling Mum who I lost 13years ago loved Roy Orbison💞I listen to his music through her and can fully understand what a fantastic musician he was ❤
I'm glad Roy Orbison had a resurgence in his career later in his life, and that his talent and influence on other musicians were recognized as they very well should be.
Roy Orbison - one of the greatest voices ever!
Brilliant definitely agree
Not one of the greatest.....The Greatest!!!
Elvis thought so,He was His favorite singer
Listen at 1:48 the vibrato on the "me" when he pronounce "you don't love me".
Who can have this lyric intensity except Roy?
It is only an example showing the perfection of his voice , even in small details!
CHEERS from AUSTRALIA. I still cry - every single day over losing my beautiful wife - now over 16-year ago - I miss every single day
My goodness what a voice ! There can never be another one like it. More talent than can be put into words. Thanks Roy.
I bet those kids who heard him that night still remember the concert and his matchless voice after all these many years.
Long Live Roy Orbison, one of the Greatest singing voices of All Time. I love this song, you can’t help but feel his deep emotions coming through. Thank You, Roy Orbison for sharing your God giving talent to the world. 🙏
What a voice. He stayed still as he had to. My young wife is listening to him now for the first time.
I saw Roy at a Jersey Shore spot in 1980.
I couldn't even move so stunned was I by his greatness.
Roy can deliver the goods, including amazing high notes, on-demand. Here is the proof.
Roy Orbison ~ man with the voice of an angel. No other singer could touch my heart with his voice, songs like he did even today.
Love you and miss you Roy Orbison ❤️ 😔
Blessed by GOD by divine intervention with this beauriful voice.
Music truly transcends all bounderys. I'm a black woman from the inner city of Detroit and this resignate with me. My Mom my loved Roy Orbison, and she's from the hills of Arkansas 💖🌹🎵
That ending is simply unreal.
His voice was like someone draping silk over your ears to experience the most beautiful voice ever.
Goosebumps every time I hear it.
Music from the 60's are just so pure and timeless.It's like good red wine as the years tick away it only gets better.The people who were in their youth during the 60's and listened to this day were just so blessed.I am say all this because I am 38 years of age.
My mother loved that song. Everytime at the end she stand up to get closer and to hear better the last notes while closing her eyes. She left this world now and everytime i hear this song i' m CRYING.
Man, when he voiced near the end the word crying even louder, that hit home. I felt his pain coming from his inner being. I wonder who he thinks of when he sings this song ...
My dad was a mega-fan (born in 1944) and he tried so hard to get his music-loving little daughter to fawn over Orbison as well. He failed back then because I thought Jim Morrison and Eric Burdon ruled the world. Of course, by the time I was 20 I understood.
