      Roy Orbison had so many great songs. I imagine you must have heard " Pretty Woman " , he also did " Blue Bayou " way before Linda Ronstadt. But you should also check out the songs he collaborated on with Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne ( ELO ) , and Bob Dylan as " The Traveling Wilburys ".

    I don't know if you noticed but if you listen to it again his voice starts out quite low and steadily rises in pitch. The highest non-falsetto notes are at the end. If you count falsetto he had a huge vocal range, even doing runs up and down while singing falsetto. Plus his tone was so pure and full that other famous singers were sometime intimidated by his voice.

    Roy Orbison was a great singer/songwriter from the 50s/60s/70s. He didn't have pop-star looks, but his vocal range was astounding. His songs have been covered many times by many artists. He was respected by stars from Elvis to Bruce Springsteen. Much of the evolution of rock/blues/country is due to his influence.

    I was born about the time that Mr. Orbison was hitting the pop charts. I grew in a house that was filled with a lot of different genres of music.
    I remember hearing this song in particular as a very young child. The reason being is that point when he hits that incredibly HIGH note on the word "Crying" near the end of the song. It just stuck in my memories. So beautiful and so powerful.
    What a song!
    What a singer!
    I am so glad to see younger people digging in to and enjoying the older music....and I was 'tickled' at your getting angry at the (implied) woman in the song.
    Wonderful reaction!

    "Only The Lonely", "In Dreams" are a couple of other Orbison songs I think you'd like. Roy's voice is simply great! He was admired by many other artists for his voice and how emotive his vocals were. He was part of the Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. You'd probably enjoy a listen to them as well.

    The way I took it, is she had already left him but they just happened to meet one day and she greeted him and shook his hand, (Girls and guys did that back in the "innocent age") just being cordial and friendly and "wished him well" as they were parting ways. But she couldn't tell that he actually had been missing her badly and crying. But he was hiding it. He realizes that he thought he was over her but upon seeing her again he realized he wasn't over her at all. And he says that she had no idea that when she touched his hand in greeting that day, it was killing him emotionally inside. "You don't understand that the touch of your hand can start me crying..."

Yes, Roy and Elvis along with a few other southern boys started at about the same time in what was commonly called Rock a Billy music, a blend of country and rock and roll. They all knew each other and would often sing each others songs. As for Roy O., you notice that you not only hear his songs but you feel them. Best of luck on UA-cam.

    This song has moved any young tween who had a broken heart upon hearing it, and felt it from the top of their head to the bottom of their toes! First heard it in the 80s on a station that blended the 50's with 80's music. Now go listen to "Pretty Woman" for a more upbeat song from Roy, then go listen to Van Halen's cover of Pretty Woman! Roy had a timeless voice that spoke to your heart no matter which decade you grew up in!

    Elvis Presley was Roy Orbison's Vocal Hero. Listen to Elvis on It's "Now Or Never", "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", "One Night", "Surrender" & "If I Can Dream". After that, you will know what an Incredible Voice Elvis had.

    Roy Orbison came from the same recording studio that launched Eivis ,. Sun Studios . Elvis called Roy the greatest singer in the world . Unfortunately, Roy had some real tragedy in his life....His wife and child both died in a house fire , I believe . Roy's biggest hit song was Pretty Woman.

    There is a story, that I don't know if it is true or not, where Elvis was asked what it was like to be the greatest singer in the world. He replied, I don't know, ask Roy Orbison. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis used to tour together back in their Sun Records days. Listen to Roy's last hit before his death, You Got It. He still had it.

    I was fortunate enough to see him live just once. And let me tell you not a single performer does what he did. He performed over 2.5 hours without a single break of any kind. We watched them do certain songs so band members could sneak off and come and so on. He was soaking wet at the end.

    Truly one of the greatest and most unique voices ever. Roy is a legend. And yea, Orbison started out in the early era of Rocknroll and continued on until his death before the Traveling Wilburys second album in the early 90s. The TW, a supergroup truly, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn from ELO. Lynn, one of the best producers ever and Harrison produced the albums. A collection of some of the greatest song writers that ever lived, where each member was able to contribute either writing or playing/singing. Both albums well worth checking out along with Orbison’s vast individual catalog.

    To put into perspective just how great Roy was on the 60s: he once opened up for the Beatles in Scotland and they had to stop him from doing a third encore so that the Beatles could take the stage. The promoter didn't know who he was and thought he was just some gimmick act from the US. He was very wrong.
