Roy Kelton Orbison. NO-one but no-one does heart-break and despair like the Big O. No-one like him before or after. An original. a voice without compare even back in the 50s and 60s . Such desolate despair with that Texan drawl. The man from Wink in Texas. Love his voice and his demeanour. A very humble man with the voice that spoke the truth. Thank you for your reaction
Elvis called him the best singer in the world...now that's some praise indeed. Should listen to him sing 'Indian wedding song', 'Leah' and 'Blue Bayou'...you wont be disappointed.
Another great reaction by you, Sarah!! Roy was one of the greatest vocalists of all time and apparently he was universally loved by his peers. I would suggest his duet of this song with kd lang for your next reaction to The Big O!!
@@danieldickson8591 I remember seeing a photo taken in Sun Studio of Elvis, Roy, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins all on a microphone. The orbits were really tight back then and those guys were close.
I was 13 and in love with this man for his voice..lol...1966...we didn't have MTV or videos to reference..we were lucky to see guest appearances on variety shows..the radio and vinal records were our world of music... 🌿🌿🌿
Roy introduced the world to the amazing k.d. lang and did this song in a duet with her which she went on to record herself and re-created it to a level even Roy would have been proud. Catch her live version at the Roy Orbison Tribute show! Stunning!
I remember, in 1964 (I think), when I was 12 years old, I was watching 'Sunday Night at the London Palladium' on our little black and white TV set. This programme was live (and therefore time limited) and was the biggest show on TV in the UK. That night was special because The Beatles were the headline act, which went on last. The act before The Beatles on that show was Roy Orbison, and he had such an impact that the audience demanded repeated encores and curtain calls from him. The Beatles were in the wings on the stage and were getting agitated because the longer Roy stayed out, the shorter time they would have to perform. Eventually they acted and, as Roy was about to go out for another curtain call, they grabbed him and then went out themselves. Of course, it didn't affect the later relationship they had with Roy and they were mutually admiring of each other's talents. So much so that Roy and George Harrison later teamed up in the 'super group' 'The Travelling Wilburys'.
Sarah you are such a wonderful woman. Your appreciation for music and your heartfelt reactions are the best. You yourself are a very beautiful woman. Your eyes, your smile are mesmerizing. Thank you for another reaction . Much love from Washington state USA
Hi Sarah! Roy Orbison is one of the greatest! Crying is one of his most recognized songs. I recommend reacting to " Roy Orbison and k. d. lang, The Tonight Show (December 7, 1987). Their duet is soo good! love your reations!! ❤❤
I first heard this on the radio in 1964 and it blew us out of the water. It still has the same emotional effect on me as it did the first time. 60 years later.
Roy was the best! Great reaction to him, and his phenomenal voice! Listen to KD Lang’s tribute to him when she sings “Crying”……it’s unbelievable. Watch her live
Now you showed the true way to appreciate a song. It's not just listening to the music, it's also listening to the message. He puts emotion into his music. Songs today do not have that anymore.
Someone mentioned Roy Orbison with the Travelling Wilburys which was a group of friends that got together to sing. The members were Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne-mega super group!. Roy Orbison passed away shortly after recording Handle with Care with them. You will love that too! 👍👍
I came across your channel when you did a "First Reaction" to Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On". I was in high school, in the 1960's, during the time that both Marvin Gaye and Roy Obison were active. Watching you react took me back in time. Thank you, sister. May I suggest the Righteous Brothers' , "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' "
One of my favourite songs ever. Love Roy Orbison, so much good music. You might recognize 'Pretty Woman' from the movie by the same name which is his song. 💞
I had the extreme privilege of seeing Roy play with the Traveling Wilburys he was the highlight even with all the other stars on stage thank you lovely girl!🌿💔
You should also check out Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night from Sept 1987, a year before he died. There are lots of videos of the individual performances on UA-cam, including the entire concert. The friends accompanying him as backup musicians and singers include Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, KD Lang, and Bonnie Raitt. A few years later K.D. Lang performed Crying at a tribute concert. A performance that you should also check out. Here's the title of that video: k. d. lang - Crying - Roy Orbison Tribute 2/24/90 Universal Ampitheater
thank you, Sarah I am doing yardwork and I stopped to take a break and listen to your reaction and my goodness. I don’t know why you always make me cry.. lol. I think I feel music the same and it just has that effect and I want to thank you so greatly for all of your reactions. I think you are wonderful. Happy Friday here in the US
Just before pandemic kicked in I feel very privileged to have seen a holographic concert featuring Roy Orbison, and also Buddy Holly!! It was a surreal, but incredible, beautiful performance. You felt as if you could reach out and touch them
Apart from the sheer beauty of the song in it's own right, your reaction to these songs I love, also brings me to tears when you review it and how you react to it. I am sure many people also feel this.
No Elvis Presley !! Roy Orbison's voice was unique ! I doubt if ever there will be anything like it again? Dive into the " Travelling Wilburys " where he was part of the most famous super group of all time ! Unfortunately he died during that period !
Roy Orbison was part of a super group called The Million Dollar Quartet. Elvis,Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins were the other members also sometimes Jerry Lee Lewis. You should look them up and listen to them sometimes
Roy and K.D Lang sang this song together, then she did it on her a beautiful version that will bring tears to your eyes. You should listen to it! She did it as a tribute to him!
I really enjoyed watching your reaction and your connection to the emotion of the piece. I've seen that you've reacted to many of Roy's songs, but feel you've missed out on what might be his best. I strongly suggest you check out "It's Over" and "In Dreams". While he has many brilliant songs, I feel only these are at the same level of heart aching emotion as "Crying" which is really what Roy does best.
I loved your videos (and your braids!) The infectious joy on your face as you listen is such a pleasure. If you want to hear a great cover of this song, check out Don McLean's version!
You need to watch him sing live. There are numerous videos from his "Black & White" concert , with a star studded band. Stars like Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt and K.D. Lang join him.
Both fantastic voices. Similarities yet different enough that each was unique. When one great says another great is "the greatest" then you know they're being both modest and sincere.
Roy Orbison I thought he was better than Elvis such a phenomenal voice, Roy suffered too many tragedy’s and trauma in his life,his first wife he married in 1957 died in an motorcycle accident in 1966,matters turned worse two years later when two of his three children died in a house fire 🔥 when his house burned down in Hendersonville,Roy sold the lot to his friend Johnny Cash, great song great reaction thanks 🙏
Elvis was once asked "What's it like, being the best singer in the world." His reply was,"I don't know. You'd better ask Roy Orbison."
The unmistakable voice of Roy Orbison. When you hear him sing, you know it's Roy. He was one of a kind.
RIP ROY

My best friend was born in wink, the town was so small my friend joked that the sign there said welcome on one side and come back on the other.
Roy was a great singer and songwriter, which he rarely gets credit for. Check out “walk on”. Great song from Roy.
Elvis called him the best singer in the world...now that's some praise indeed. Should listen to him sing 'Indian wedding song', 'Leah' and 'Blue Bayou'...you wont be disappointed.
And that he would switch voices with him without hesitation (loose quote).
Don't forget the classic ,pretty woman.
No one ever mentions"Leah". It is possibly my favorite Orbison song.
@@SteveoGregg How about Only The Lonely?
@@musicaficionado2974 That's my favorite from him . Total classic also.
Pure talent! NO auto tune, no effects, just Roy.. All voice!
No-one does heartbreak like Roy Orbison , incredible song and an astonishing voice.
Sarah, he is one of the greats and everyone in the business admired him so much. His music will never be forgotten.
The day it was announced that he had died, I was on my way to work. I had to pull over and cry. One of my all time favorites!
🎼Roy has a tendency to leave listeners speechless. I have always loved his voice. Gonna have to listen to him again.❤️
I had the once in a lifetime honor to see Roy Orbison in concert in 1986, he was simply amazing!
Elvis had a bit of Roy in his voice. You got it backwards.🎉❤🎉😊
Yes.
Everything Roy Orbison ever recorded was all done in one take👍
Another great reaction by you, Sarah!! Roy was one of the greatest vocalists of all time and apparently he was universally loved by his peers. I would suggest his duet of this song with kd lang for your next reaction to The Big O!!
One of Roy Ordison greatest songs of all time, he the GOAT.
A song about the pain of unrequited love. Yes a timeless human condition and song.
Roy was a contemporary of Elvis.
Elvis said Roy was the greatest singer of all.
@@danieldickson8591 I remember seeing a photo taken in Sun Studio of Elvis, Roy, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins all on a microphone. The orbits were really tight back then and those guys were close.

Singularly, the one voice that perfectly sings this, it’s almost primal.
Great singer and songwriter. You can not confuse him for anyone else. Pure vocals.

After 60 years of listening to Orbison, each time is like the first...can't resist his music...
ELVIS said ROY was the best singer he ever heard,that means that ROY ORBISON IS THE ONE,ELVIS KNEW GENIUS
Hi Sarah!
Roy Orbison is one of the greatest! Crying is one of his most recognized songs.

No other voice like Roy's.
The best voice of his era. As was already said yes the GOAT.
The song takes on a new meaning knowing that Roy lost 2 of his sons in a fire. Unimaginable how he continued on.
Now you showed the true way to appreciate a song. It's not just listening to the music, it's also listening to the message. He puts emotion into his music. Songs today do not have that anymore.
Roy is a rabbit hole you DEFINITELY have to go down!! Pretty woman, only the lonely, running scared, I could go on and on!!
Now you need to listen to the KD Lang, Roy Orbison tribute performance. (Fantastic)
@@derrickburkett7350 oh my goodness yes please she is AMAZING Roy’s family asked her to sing it at the tribute xx
We had the best music back then.
Someone mentioned Roy Orbison with the Travelling Wilburys which was a group of friends that got together to sing. The members were Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne-mega super group!. Roy Orbison passed away shortly after recording Handle with Care with them.

👍👍
I listened to this countless times since 1963-4
A legend. Wonderful singer with a beautiful expressive voice.
When Roy Orbison sang, you knew you were experiencing something very special. Lovely reaction, Sarah!
Hé had a heavenly voice ❤️
Beautiful voice and song. Roy was so great!! 😅

I saw both concerts on tv years ago and I remember when at the tribute concert KD Lang stole the show.
Roy Orbison's voice had so much passion, it is had not to cry. Please check out his singing with the "Travelling Wilburys "
I love his velvet voice. His song "I Drove All Night" is my favorite song of his.
What a beautiful sad song by Roy Orbison. RIP Roy.
Miss that kind of music of my youth. Thanks for sharing ❣️
One of the best songs ever made. I cannot hear it without being a kid again, hearing this song and being so sad I couldn’t even understand why.
One of the finest voices in pop music.
Another favourite. Anything by Roy Orbison. Would you please react to Nightbird by Eva Cassidy - my favourite song ever.
I love how closely you hear the songs. Your reactions are heartfelt and lovely. Thank you.
I usually dont like remakes, but KD Lang crushed this song in the 80s.
Btw, nice shirt! With love from Dallas!
thank you, Sarah I am doing yardwork and I stopped to take a break and listen to your reaction and my goodness. I don’t know why you always make me cry.. lol. I think I feel music the same and it just has that effect and I want to thank you so greatly for all of your reactions. I think you are wonderful.

Goosebumps!!
Saw him at Festival Hall. Melbourne, Australia in 1973. I've never forgotten that night.
Hi Ms. Sarah, Most of the Singer legends say Mr. Roy is the Voice.. ♠Mr.G..
There is a Don Mclean version of this song that is also a very good interpretation.
There is a version from Del Shannon in 1989 that blows all the others away
Rou was the master of sad ballads about lost love. He was the male counterpart to Patsy Cline.
Back to the days when music was music. I miss those days but it's nice to see youngsters of today appreciate it. Maybe review Blue Bayou !!
Just before pandemic kicked in I feel very privileged to have seen a holographic concert featuring Roy Orbison, and also Buddy Holly!! It was a surreal, but incredible, beautiful performance. You felt as if you could reach out and touch them
My late husband's favorite, thanks for reminding me. I love your reaction
And this is only one of many fantastic Roy Orbison songs!
I have heard his voice described as " coming from outer space ". He could express human emotion in a voice that was other than human .,
Great performance and excellent reaction. If you like the song, K.D. Lang and Don McLean did excellent versions of this song as well.
Good song! Orbison was amazing ❤
Roy Orbison was one of the best.
Apart from the sheer beauty of the song in it's own right, your reaction to these songs I love, also brings me to tears when you review it and how you react to it. I am sure many people also feel this.
He was just a nice bloke.
Please listen to his IN DREAMS. I listen every day.
You have to do Prince -Purple rain!
Devastating. Anyone who had their heart broken can relate to this.
So emotional, I love it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
No Elvis Presley !! Roy Orbison's voice was unique ! I doubt if ever there will be anything like it again? Dive into the " Travelling Wilburys " where he was part of the most famous super group of all time ! Unfortunately he died during that period !
Ienjoyed you reaction, nice lady
Roy Orbison was part of a super group called The Million Dollar Quartet. Elvis,Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins were the other members also sometimes Jerry Lee Lewis. You should look them up and listen to them sometimes
Just listen sweety 😊😊😊😊
American Pie was written about the plane crash that killed him and 3 other singers of the day
That was Buddy Holley.
Roy and K.D Lang sang this song together, then she did it on her a beautiful version that will bring tears to your eyes. You should listen to it! She did it as a tribute to him!
I really enjoyed watching your reaction and your connection to the emotion of the piece. I've seen that you've reacted to many of Roy's songs, but feel you've missed out on what might be his best. I strongly suggest you check out "It's Over" and "In Dreams". While he has many brilliant songs, I feel only these are at the same level of heart aching emotion as "Crying" which is really what Roy does best.
Most of the crooners of this period sounded like Elvis. 50s & 60s especially
Great song, I'm sad to say I have never met anyone that made me feel that way.
Beautiful
You need to listen to
Life fades Away,
She's a mystery to me,
Walk on,
Love in time,
Wild hearts run out of time.
Please listen to these
I loved your videos (and your braids!) The infectious joy on your face as you listen is such a pleasure. If you want to hear a great cover of this song, check out Don McLean's version!

Roy was known as the "Caruso" of rock. Enrique Caruso was a famous opera singer of an earlier era.
wow vos vocals
Elvis and Roy were friends. They worked for the same record company and recorded in the same studio.
The Big O! Check out 'Blue Bayou' and 'Pretty Paper' by him (save the later for Christmas)...
You should also check out KD Lang's version of this song. I think she also did a duet of it with Roy Orbison.
He was apparently mesmerising singing in person. Though he said that wasn't his fault, it just happened.
Presley called Orbison "quite simply, the greatest singer in the world"
Both fantastic voices. Similarities yet different enough that each was unique.
When one great says another great is "the greatest" then you know they're being both modest and sincere.
Elvis could only dream to sound as good as Roy Orbison.
Holy Molely! :)
Roy Orbison I thought he was better than Elvis such a phenomenal voice, Roy suffered too many tragedy’s and trauma in his life,his first wife he married in 1957 died in an motorcycle accident in 1966,matters turned worse two years later when two of his three children died in a house fire 🔥 when his house burned down in Hendersonville,Roy sold the lot to his friend Johnny Cash, great song great reaction thanks 🙏
