    For those that haven't heard this; Elvis had said, Roy Orbison has "The Perfect Voice". Scholars suggest he had a three - four octave range and what one writer said, 'a glass-shattering falsetto". Regardless of all this, one only needs to listen to this man sing to know he is one the greatest of all time. Thank you Roy Orbison.

    • @patrickdevries6267

      Elvis did not say that! He said "Roy is the best male singer" and that was at June 10 1972 in Madison Square Garden New York. Elvis said that because he was very humble and Roy was also a very close friend of Elivs and a reguilar seen guest at Graceland. Elvis said of many other singers they are the best, like for ex Fats Domino, Pat Boone. Now I like Roy Orbison but he is absolutely not of the level of Elvis. Elvis could surely sng like Roy, for ex with It's now or never, Surrender! Elvis is the most versatile singer ever, rock, ballads, country, blues, soul, even opera for ex with Hurt, How Great thou art at June 21 and 26 1977. Roy does not have a versatile voice, ok he is great in rock ballads, but rock 'n roll not so. Elvis is also the only entertainer taken up in all halls of fame and in every music style he had hits also someting which can not be said of Roy

      @sess122 Рік тому +6

      Sorry, but the "scholars" are wrong and I've never heard ANY vocalist with a 3 to 4 octave range, including Roy Orbison. For instance, his lowest note in this song is an "A" (singing the word, "call" at 0:06) and his highest is a "C" (singing the word, "dreams" at 02:40), which is a little over 2 octaves. Just to reach the 3rd octave ("A") would be an extremely high (for a male) falsetto, sounding like a "whistle" note. Not impossible but certainly very rare.

      Trust me when I say your friends are tone deaf . The music of the last thirty years doesn't compare with the music of the sixties and seventies . You could understand the words and sing along . So let them call you names laugh at them and enjoy others from the same time period. But Roy Orbison had the best voice ever even another antique like me said so it was Elvis Presley .

    Bob Dylan called him an opera singer. Damn right he is. The way he uses his incredible technical voice (pitch, tone, range, vibrato) and most of all his phrasing paints songs in a way that is sublime. That vocal line at 2:20 its just other worldly, good luck anyone trying to sing that in the way he does, forget it. His stuff is like mini operas. Divine. And an incredibly beautiful man to boot.

    In the saddest and darkest moments of my life Roy's voice has carried me through. It is a haunting tremble, the clear and pure notes, but also the soul of the man enters your own as you listen to song after song. The Crowd, Blue Angel, Running Scared...on and on... Somehow, it seems like sharing pain is a healing experience with the music we love. Thank you Roy Orbison. It is a well known fact that Roy loved his voice; just not as much as I do.
