In my 80's. Introduced to KD by my father also a music lover. Told me this is the greatest voice since Garland.He listened to all the Greats. Now I play KD music daily to start my day. Thanks Dad. Thanks KD
Dolly could do it but I think she would agree with you that KD is the one who can capture the raw emotion of Roy's song. Elvis said that Roy had the voice of an angel. Roy new a good voice when he heard one with kd. ❤
I completely agree with you!!! k.D. Lang is THE BEST and most truly amazingly in full control of her voice and her audience. She is so amazingly humble, and delivers true emotion filled performances each and every time. Thank you for your joy and love you have brought into our hearts. Sincerely Mari woodland.
My god that is an absolute MASTERCLASS in vocals. The control, restraint, emotion, power. Plus KD just has such an inimitable tone. Truly a spectacular performance!
from the depth of her heart and soul, KD makes this so hauntingly beautiful, her voice so rich, so velvety, no gimmicks, just so soulful, silky and strong, soft and deep, raw but powerful, KD sends this straight to the heart and hold us suspended breathless and CRYING 🙏🥺 among the big radio stars, Pink does this as well, singing from deep within her soul with an emotive & powerfully huge voice that rips apart the heart
She looked so small on that huge stage but within seconds she filled it up to overflowing with that magnificent voice of hers. What a fabulous performance.
i lost my husband this year 2024, he got only 59 years of life, we met and fell in love in 1984, married and living together 38 years, this was one of *our songs* in the late 80s when KD was out there singing it with Roy and also on her own. we bought her version with Roy and we used to dance to it in our apartment, we were just a young couple, very devoted to and in love with each other . . . and over the decades Tom always continued to pull me into his long protective arms when we would hear one of our songs from our younger days, not everyday mind you, as building a life together isn't all roses and free-time, its mostly busy hardwork with difficulties and compromise . . . but maybe 2--3 times a month . . . and oddly more frequently in our 50s, and these youtube songs became a big part of our quiet times together these past 6--7 years, including listening a hundred times to KD singing this one me and Tom we built our whole life together, he's the very best friend i ever had, we were practically *one* our life was *totally* entwined . . . finishing université together, our first car, starting out in our careers, our first starter home, then our two precious daughters, home repairs, cars breaking down, caring for our elderly parents, family vacations, dozens of roadtrips . . . all the way to 4 grand-babies, the newest only just born *after* his passing this year Tom gave us absolutely everything, me and our daughters, there's no way to convey just how giving and noble and dutiful he has always been he didn't deserve to face such a painful brutal rapid decline that took him so quickly at such a young age, a very young grandfather, who always talked of us growing old together and watching over our kids and grandkids together. From our first moments together as a couple 4 decades ago and always and even up to last year, Tom always said *I can't wait til you're a wrinkly old lady* why is it that the *very best kindest souls* seem to leave this life early and i'm here crying and alone, and now needing again 36 years later to hear KD singing so *passionate painful and soft and intimitate and sensual* as only she can do frankly this grief is so deeply painful, its still only some months since Tom passed, and KD's *voice is so evocative of profound heartbreak* and this is what i need to hear and im just going to keep giving my husband full space in my heart
They don't come like this anymore - no fabrication - no glittering lights - no fog machines - no voice altered machines - simply UNADULTERATED UNLIMITLESS - RAW TALENT.
YES!! I remember it well! I was spellbound! She's ALWAYS MAGNIFICENT. I LOVE Roy Orbison & was grief stricken to learn he died; then kd appeared: How GLORIOUS!
We all have gifts from God, and her beautiful gift is her outstanding voice. She not only feels the song ,she understands it in her heart . As was brought out ,she's a humble ,respectful and talented person who knows how to dress modestly . We won't forget you KD LANG ! You're a breath of fresh air.😊👍
K.D. Lang had a tough time getting a break in the music or show business because she admitted she was Lesbian as if that made any difference in her talented singing. Many thanks to Roy Orbison for giving her many breaks on his show as he saw her talent As an auto motive teacher for the last 20 years working, my opening statement to new students was, BLACK, WHITE, GRAY or Gay it makes no difference what you are, but what you can do or achieve. She is one of the best singer nowadays and for a long time past. She sounds even better as time goes on Thank you. George Traganos
,@Toni sumblinIt isn't the music industry that gives breaks but the sponsors who's money decides who or what goes on the show that are backing. George Traganos
[ Lang had a tough time getting a break in the music or show business because she admitted she was Lesbian as if that made any difference ] Since she records in the country genre..yeah it does
I never understood country treating her like that. She's about the best female vocalist I've ever heard. Her voice stands alone...no lightshows, sideshows, distracting dancers, etc. That's what I always loved about James Taylor too...the man, guitar and his song.
I LOVE HOW SHE SINGS THIS SONG, BEAUTIFUL PASSION, FEELING EVERY WORD, SO DEEP, SO MUCH HURT AND PAIN, THE LOSS OF MY HUSBAND 1.15.21, I'LL NEVER BE OVER THE PAIN,ALWAYS CRYING FOR HIM.THANK YOU KD LANG
TMP7833 it would be interesting to see what Patsy Cline thought of her voice. What do you guys think? Both incredibly gifted beyond belief. Thank you for posting this beautiful piece my friend. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral
My comment will get lost with others but KD Lang will go on forever. She is mesmerizing. I listen to and watch her over and over. She puts a magic spell on me,. She is perfection in my book. Can't say enough good about her. I'll shut up now!
Now folks, THIS is raw talent!! Listen to the dynamics she uses...where the volume goes up and down. Sung with expression too, not like a robot. Thank You, K.D., for making our days brighter with your talent.
One of the best female singers out there and has been for years. Has such a beautiful voice. Reminds me of Patsy Cline's command of the musical scale. No one could do Orbison's song any better than her.
@@yvonnebotello3335 Yes. I believe she started in country music but back then, they also judged on a person's lifestyle. Did it detract from her singing ability? Absolutely not. She was well liked by fans and still is.
This is how a singer...a *real* singer does it. She's not heavily made up. She doesn't have her butt hanging out. She doesn't have to turn every single note into 5 notes. She doesn't have any dance moves or backing dancers. There are no flashing lights. Only the most glorious female voice on the planet. That's all.
I can feel that song from the pit of my stomach to the top of my head, She is the only person other than Roy Orbison that can pull that amount of emotion from that song
Ya got that right Shoni- they poured their heart and soul into this song. I'm a strong woman but when I hear this song, tears and the remembrance of broken hearted times of my life come to mind. It's cathartic in a sweet and painful way.
My God. KD. Has brought one of my fav. Songs to a new level. This Woman is totally outstanding. Has to be the most, powerful voice I have ever heard. This has given, me shivers, Out of this world. KD. The big O. Will be sooo proud of you. I am blown away. Thank you. Sooo much appreciated 🇮🇪💚
@evelynmulvaney173 I 💯👍 agree. I always loved this Roy Orbison song, then came the duet version...1st time I heard or saw KD Lang perform! I think that duet "Crying" with Roy, his band, and (? newcomer) KD Lange, was on the night time Jay Leno show. 😲🙌🌞🤩 Decades later, I still recall being blown away by her voice! Although she was very young and most likely unknown by the majority of us here in the States, (U.S.A) her voice was beyond anyone I had ever heard! I was blown away! Especially when I realized that she was such a gifted humble singer, she held back some of her vocal capabilities out of respect, manners, and humbled adoration for the amazing, late & great Mr. Roy Orbison, to show case her (truly stunning) vocal capabilities🤩 After all, that song "Crying" was a Roy Orbison mega hit. If some young uprising star was lucky enough to be taken in under the wing of a gifted, famous, world renowned, singer/ song writer, wouldn't have too wise a move to upstage him with his songs😱🥴 Even though KD reigned in her truly magical haunting vocal capabilities with that duet, she still managed to give a stunning and memorable duet debut with Roy Orbison and his song "Crying". 9🙌💫👏
Your not just whistling Dixie first time hearing her singing this song damn near forgot how strong her pipes are whew tears 😭 just kept rolling very emotionally strong song of a man's feeling 💯 Loved it.
What a gorgeous voice, such a rich tone with so many shadings, and beautiful natural vibrato. Her timing is impeccable - she doesn't rush the melody, she savors every word/note drawing out all these shimmering colors. She knows when to hold back and when to let her voice soar - wow, goosebumps. AMAZING, amazing vocalist. This sort of genius is born.
Every time I see and hear K. D. sing, she gives me chills. Her voice is powerful and strong and can do any song justice. She has the ability to pick just the right song and make it her own, no matter who sang it before she did.
I keep coming back year after year to hear kd sing this particular unrivaled mind blowing song ❤️❤️ Exquisitely sang with such a velvety throated voice, that to this day I've yet to find! Pure genius of the late great epic legendary Roy Orbison, to do this duet, choosing only 1 singer he allowed the privilege of singing his masterpiece song "Crying", personally choosing kd to join him in the rerecording of Crying, knowing that hands down, no one's voice was as magical, stunning, mind-blowing, out and out astounding, and just perfect to sing Crying in such a beautiful, aching, haunting, and masterful rendition!! The unrivaled kd lang singing this masterpiece will never be topped, bar none!
This is one of her great performances ever, perfect song, perfect singer, flawless from start to finish. This is my favorite video of her singing, magical.
@@lillianwheeler6118 Not at all, but you must remember that this wasn't recorded yesterday! She didn't want to wear that dress. She *had* to wear that dress!!
9Ballr Have you ever seen KD live? My daughter my wife and I. Saw KD Lang live in a concert hall it was around early 1990s my daughter and I first saw her on MTV when it was KD Lang and the recliners. She has a type of voice that sounds better live than her CDs. My daughter Danielle in particular loved KD Langs voice. Her fan base was very diverse at that time. KD Lang had perfect placement & there are no flaws in her voice when she was in her prime. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral 🌿🌍🌎🌏🌹👩🎵🎶💃 PS the concert was sold out in 2 weeks. After that first concert she needed a larger venue that could hold between 10 and 15000 people.
I really wish we heard more from K.D. ! She is depriving us of perfection ! Today's so called artists would take a look at themselves and realize they are not that great!
Oh my goodness you sing this so lovely 😍 👌 we saw Roy Orbison in Bridlington many years since and sang this my late husband George wasnt a fan but after seeing him that night he was 😅 13 years since he passed but listening to my CD brings back all the great memories ❤ 😅Thank you for sharing ❤ 🤲🙏
I listen to this over and over here in 2024 and get chills each time!! No one can compare to K. D. Lang!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
GOT DAMN I never knew she did this song. wow, she hits notes that weren't even there before. :)
Miss you KD. Please come back. You are the greatest singer of all time👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 We all adore you✌️
KDLang is the best female vocalist of the century..❤
Right!
Yes she IS !! God's Gift to us. ❤❤❤
It’s 2024, and this still gives me chills.
I'm sitting here with them now! So good. Roy and her were a great pairing for a minute.
Truck dat
Me too!!!
She is the only one on planet earth who can sing an Orbison song the way that it should be sung!!!
She was recognized at being one of the only artists that evening who made the song all her own.
So, so true
You're right!
If you close your eyes, you will see Roy.
She does it better than Roy😂😂
Always loved kd Lang's voice and still do in 2023❤
I love listening to her sing crying.
Who are the 1000 nincompoops who put a thumbs-down on this one!????? Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and rendition.
She's one the best singers ever. She did not get the recognition she deserved. Love this song.
In the entertainment business you have to stay very active having new songs every so often. KD did not do that.
Interesting I always thought she gets the level of acknowledgment she wants. But I understand what your saying, she’s an amazing gift.
I watch this over and over. She does Roy very very proud. She is a true SINGER. She's the best.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️

One of the best women singers to this day , love her smooth voice
Such passion in her voice ❤
No fireworks, no sexual costumes, no special musical effects just this lovely girl singing so beautifully
Damn right.... 💯

And she got the standing ovation that she truly deserved. Bravo k.d. lang, you are the best singer alive, I believe.
Yup
You're right!
The most exhilarating rendition of this Roy Orbison classic you will ever hear.
OMG! She is the vey best! Beyond words to describe her talents

. . . and oddly more frequently in our 50s, and these youtube songs became a big part of our quiet times together these past 6--7 years, including listening a hundred times to KD singing this one

Tom gave us absolutely everything, me and our daughters, there's no way to convey just how giving and noble and dutiful he has always been
he didn't deserve to face such a painful brutal rapid decline that took him so quickly at such a young age, a very young grandfather, who always talked of us growing old together and watching over our kids and grandkids together.

Her timing is impeccable - she doesn't rush the melody, she savors every word/note drawing out all these shimmering colors. She knows when to hold back and when to let her voice soar - wow, goosebumps. AMAZING, amazing vocalist. This sort of genius is born.

Iris Pluck what does this mean ?
tiamia...so well said!
Spot on - you nailed it!
That type of talent can't be learned. Such a gift!
Great performance our beloved KD, the best. xxxxxxxxxx Frank
Still listening and loving it 2024.
The way she hits that one note and sings it- its phenomenal
“It’s hard to understand, the touch of your hand”- chills!
Stands test of time!
Love that line!!! So strong and feeling!! I play it over and over:)
that's the exact line that breaks my heart ever since hearing her sing this 3 decades ago with Roy O.
Every time I see and hear K. D. sing, she gives me chills. Her voice is powerful and strong and can do any song justice. She has the ability to pick just the right song and make it her own, no matter who sang it before she did.
Shall never tire of hearing K.D, and her awesome rendition of this wondrful song
One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written. The dislikes obviously dont have an ear for music.
Pamelina says the dislikes aren't interested in the music, just prejudiced bigots

Her voice is incredible
baby she blew the roof off with this one.
She is a lesbian and vegetarian; that's all it takes for many folks to dislike her. Killed her country career.
just brings tears to my eyes every time i hear her sing, What a voice.
Me Too!!!!!! 😢
Oh, yes her voice is like velvet.
Yes, tears form, very very special performance is this.
Me too!
OMG her voice is unbelievable she does Roy Oribson justice no one could do that song better than those two
Besides Roy, K.D. Lang makes my
Emotions overflow like a
Waterfall. Amazing song for an
Equally thrilling singer. BRAVO!

Sung with true emotion and passion - brilliant.
I keep coming back year after year to hear kd sing this particular unrivaled mind blowing song ❤️❤️ Exquisitely sang with such a velvety throated voice, that to this day I've yet to find!
Pure genius of the late great epic legendary Roy Orbison, to do this duet, choosing only 1 singer he allowed the privilege of singing his masterpiece song "Crying", personally choosing kd to join him in the rerecording of Crying, knowing that hands down, no one's voice was as magical, stunning, mind-blowing, out and out astounding, and just perfect to sing Crying in such a beautiful, aching, haunting, and masterful rendition!! The unrivaled kd lang singing this masterpiece will never be topped, bar none!
She somehow channels the essence of Roy when she sings this song. That is why his wife asked her to perform it.
This is one of her great performances ever, perfect song, perfect singer, flawless from start to finish. This is my favorite video of her singing, magical.
DeeezNuuutz beautifully done.. I hate her dress though.. it is not her...at all
When she did 3 cigarettes in an ashtray was outstanding
Me too. She is phenominal.

@@lillianwheeler6118 Not at all, but you must remember that this wasn't recorded yesterday! She didn't want to wear that dress. She *had* to wear that dress!!
I have.listened to her singing down through the years. Her voice is so beautiful.
What do you admire most about K.D Lang
Where is she today, I just love her singing, her looks and her her personality ❤
I remember the first time I ever saw this performance, I was just blown away. I still am.
9Ballr Have you ever seen KD live? My daughter my wife and I. Saw KD Lang live in a concert hall it was around early 1990s my daughter and I first saw her on MTV when it was KD Lang and the recliners. She has a type of voice that sounds better live than her CDs. My daughter Danielle in particular loved KD Langs voice. Her fan base was very diverse at that time. KD Lang had perfect placement & there are no flaws in her voice when she was in her prime. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral 🌿🌍🌎🌏🌹👩🎵🎶💃 PS the concert was sold out in 2 weeks. After that first concert she needed a larger venue that could hold between 10 and 15000 people.
@@arnoldamaral7406 Reclines!! LOL!
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard 💕
I agree - this song is sooooo beautiful
Angels weep for joy at the sound of her voice.
2019 I'm still in awe of KD superb in every way nobody does it better
I really wish we heard more from K.D. ! She is depriving us of perfection ! Today's so called artists would take a look at themselves and realize they are not that great!
Except Roy Orbison.
@@nunya2954 Roy is not "one of today's artists"! Roy, unfortunately, is dead. This performance was a tribute to him.
John Lamb that’s a whole other song 🥰
So true.
Oh my goodness you sing this so lovely 😍 👌 we saw Roy Orbison in Bridlington many years since and sang this my late husband George wasnt a fan but after seeing him that night he was 😅 13 years since he passed but listening to my CD brings back all the great memories ❤ 😅Thank you for sharing ❤ 🤲🙏
Roy Orbison was a genius and he spotted another true genius in KD Lang the emotion in this song is heartbreaking
She’s just a master of voice!! What a vocal masterpiece. ❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
This woman can sing anything, and sing it beautifully.
yes, she was the best, i love to hear her ever day, brings tears to my eyes, but i love them as i listen to the lady
CarolynT973 what happened to KD Lang, where'd she go.
@@newestaddition5234 She hasn't gone anywhere. She's still singing, touring, recording, and winning awards. kdlang.com/
Hello
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Never thought I’d hear a better version of this than the big O but she’s awesome
That is still one of the very best vocal performances I have seen... magnificent!
Effortless, no technical manipulation, no distracting antics, nothing but real talent. Take note majority of current singers today. This is singing!
Absolutely love k.d. lang, her vocals are so pure and perfect ❤
I'm blinded by this beautiful woman with this liquid gold voice flowing.
Had the pleasure of hearing her sing this.......goosebumps. A Canadian treasure. 🇨🇦❤️
The best female voice on this Planet, bar none.....
Her voice is beautiful. Well done Ms. Lang.
Her voice! So hauntingly beautiful. I have total goosebumps!
