    Back in June 1980 in a night club I heard this song play and I happened to see this gorgeous lady on the other side of the dance floor. I plucked up the courage and asked her to dance and to my disbelief she said yes. It was the most magical moment in my life to even think this lady would dance with me. Almost 42 years later and I still pinch myself every morning when I wake to realise this class act has stuck with me all these years.

    "Crying" originally written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson for Orbison's third studio album of the same name (1962). Released in 1961, it was a number 2 hit in the US for Orbison and was covered in 1978 by Don McLean, whose version went to number 1 in the UK in 1980.

      How is he under-rated? He is regarded as one of the greatest American singer song writers of his era...his songs are considered standards. Many of his songs were played all over the radio dial for decades, and his music can be found in music books everywhere. American Pie is considered one of the greatest pop songs of all time, it sold an insane number of copies, and Vincent is widely acclaimed as well. He certainly is not under-rated. He is widely recognized and celebrated.

      I saw Roy live at the Surf Nantasket in Scituate Mass. Thank you, Arnie Ginsburg of WMEX 1510 Boston. My Mom was a car hop at The Adventure Car Hop and Arnie's "Night Train Show" was the sponsor. Free tickets to my first sox hop ever at about 14 or so. I wanted to see Chris Jensen sing "Torture". I did and then the surprise Arnie had mentioned came on and started with "Only the Lonely". I knew the Voice but not the Roy Orbison name. He was A6 on the juke box at the Pioneer restaurant in Salem. I'm 75 now and Don Mclean nailed "Crying" before it was released to the Ten Ten of my youth. Had to learn to Love Sun Records as I got older. Some will understand that comment Don, some won't. Thanks for your Mastery of Music my friend!

    Don is an unprecedented American poet. His writing is awesome and his performances never leave your memory. Saw him on the old Howard Stern show when he finished "Vincent" and told everyone to go back to their computers. He is a Real Man. No quiche in his life. Some people will know what I'm saying. Move on, Don.
