Elvis Orbison or Roy Presley with a touch of the Man in Black and Sir Great Balls of Fire, plus Elvis handsome with all the charm and politeness. Chris is a true living legend.
Saw Chris and Silvertone about 5 months ago in Huntington, NY. Christmas show !!! They were great. Audience participation as well. Highly suggest you seem them next time they are in your town...or a short trip down the road.
Like many famous performers that come into their own, generally were sought after by groupies, such as teenagers, and/or college students. Unfortunately, a lot of these artist are over looked. Sometimes, and most often until their career is almost at it's twilight. Chris Isaak has a uniquely gifted sound, which has been known, however, the songs he now sings is what's giving him his stardom! But, for some the oldies will remain as such, and new lyrics and sounds will always be sought after...
i generally don''t like imitations...unless of course it seems as though the departed has come back to life and that is the case here. A fabulous version of one of the most touching and emotional songs ever. There will never be another big ""0 " but this is pretty damned close

Chris Issak is one of popular music's most UNDERRATED artists. What a stunning the voice the man has!
Chris Isaak is one of the most talented artists of call times and yet so underrated , I Gueda it' s time of the trash ones!
The Beatles,Elvis, The Eagles and then for my generation.. One of the best of all time Chris Isaak
Elvis Orbison or Roy Presley with a touch of the Man in Black and Sir Great Balls of Fire, plus Elvis handsome with all the charm and politeness. Chris is a true living legend.
I can just listen to this over and over ….. :)
He has an EPIC voice...love him so much!
This guy combines the cool of Elvis with the vulnerability of Roy Orbison. Extremely cool! 😎🤩
Absolutely fantastic! I've loved him for years!
The best cover of a Roy Orbison song I have ever heard.... Man is he HOT
CHRIS ISAAK BRINGS BACK MANY MEMORIES ....❤️..KEEP ON PLAYING
i am breathless he nailed it soo darn good
This is Roy's classic but Chris Isaak does it proud !
can't help loving Chris Isaak =)
Great great….CHRIS has the whole package…..
Ahhh, this is just so beautiful.
This is truly awesome.
Chris is a fabulous singer, and Kenney is a tremendous, but subtle, backing vocalist.
This man! I'm in love!

He's paying homage, people.

Superb. Roy would give 2 thumbs up.
Thank you! I close my eyes and... I'm young... :)
I love this man so much, it hurts all over!! He is my world. Xxx
This is my very favorite version of this song.
Chris-issak 🌃🌃voix superbe 📣📢merci la vidéo😁quel plaisir de l'écouter .son style des années 60 et rockeur fait plaisir à voir!!😍💓💓
I think this is one of my favourite songs. Great cover!
Fully agree with previous comments about Chris and his wonderdul singing!!!!!
Molto bella e bravo sia l'interprete sia i musicisti. ..ONLY THE LONELY!
He's got a new fan! :)
What was that thump!? Oh - it's just my jaw that hit the floor :) Fantastic version.
LOVED it !!!!!!!!!!!
WOW !!! TRUE SINGER!!
They are both affectionately known as crooners. I'm sure Morrissey would bristle at the comparison, but I love them both, in their own ways.
The Big O would have loved this, Chris Isaak is just so good words fail me.
Great rendition, brilliantly different voice.
J'adore Chris !!!
merci pour cette belle reprise de Roy Orbison
😍 beautiful..
He does sound a lot like the late great Roy Orbison.
He should do all his songs on an album.
Sublime...Amo a mi hermoso Chris 💜

A true Country Crooner!!
There was only one Roy Orbison, but damn this was close.
Yeah I got to see him do this song live. He was REAL close.
On my bucket list....Seeing Chris Issak live...
hello you lovely pretty lady
Who's comparing? You missed the point!
Magic.
I love him
excellent !
lovely xxx

Bravissimo, ,!
He is to me ^^
oooohhhhyes
The 34 dislikes must come straight from MORDOR
awesome
👍👍👍👍👍
oooohhhhhyes
great
He sounds exactly like Roy Orbison!
Chris makes shivers run up and my spine. He sounds even better than Roy Orbison, and a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than Roy was.
ooooohhhhgirls
What guitar is the lead player playing? J-200? It has top mounted controls on it or is it another or custom model?
Does he remind anyone else of Morrisey?
Dum dum dum dum dee do wah....
there no way he as good as Roy orbson
No Shit !!!!!!!!!!!!
Fair point, but he does not have Orbison's vocal range, and it does limit an otherwise very good rendition.
does this guy ever sing his own Songs? or has he even written Any?
Yes. Do your research before making dumb comments like this. He has amazing albums over many years but he does amazing Orbison and Presley covers
Fred Crowe Name one song please,? any song on this site are all someone else's song, anyway, I just don't like him so, I'm off. permanently!
Wicked Game ... an absolute classic
With voice like his, who cares?
His voice is a beautiful match, the instrumentals ruin the cover.
awesome
