K.D. Lang is one of the mot underrated singers of her generation!
It takes searching to find but kd's Three Cigarette"s In an Ashtray is a gorgeous torch song cover that shows exactly why Roy came knocking on her door. Very sweet, down to Earth person. Met her once in person as she was just going through life on a visit to AB.
she also covered Crazy and I think Black Coffee by Patsy Cline with Patsy's producer producing it after hearing her on the radio
KD Lang, an Alberta Canada girl. Her voice can soar. Roy Orbison is a legend and rightly so. I loved how you call him "Mr. Orbison". Some people deserve respect, they earn it and keep it. Thanks for the reaction as always and have a great weekend.
Thank you! I heard Jay Leno do it, and it sounded right! Roy Orbison is legendary, and he should be respected. I enjoyed these two together, and this reaction made me listen to k.d. again.😁 Thank you for watching, and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Roy Orbison was amazng singer in his hayday, and who doesn't love KD Lang. I love her rendition of Hallelujah. best ever. These two together is pure magic! Thanks, D.
Someone else mentioned that she covered Hallelujah. I never got into her, but I do like her voice...forgot how beautiful it was. Thank you for watching!😁
KD Lang OWNS Hallelujah! Watch her sing it at the 2010 olympics!!
Best version I ever saw of this song was a singing tribute to Roy Orbison doing this song. I had goosebumps and cried throughout her performance. I’ve never forgotten it.
After "Pretty Woman," this is my all time favorite Orbinson song. He and KD smashed it in this version. It is great seeing Roy appreciated again after all these years.
You have to hear her sing that song at his his tribute. Also Hallelujah, best rendition ever.
You need to react to K. D. Lang singing "Hallelujah" it's the best version I have ever heard!
no better version exists
omg i so agree!!!
Totaly agree
Yes!!!
Absolutely stupendous!
Roy Orbison was so good that Elvis considered Roy to be "The King" of Rock 'n Roll.
... I agree
Wow...that's awesome! Thank you for sharing that!😁👍
@@solomongrundy4905 You are correct.
Elvis called him the voice
Those two together, CHILLS, GOOSEBUMPS, TEARS AND SHEAR JOY! I am remembering "when", my past how this song affected me, and it's still the same for me today and age 72. Can't get any better. Loved Roy since I was very young, I mentally "adopted" k.d. when she was singing, at the time I was more into country music. She is the best at what she does. CHILLS
I had the privilege of seeing Roy twice, live. I sat in the second row from the stage both times. KD sang as a backup singer on Roy's Black and White Nights concert and DVD.
Roy Orbison was a real legend , even Elvis was in awe of Roys vocal range . Still can't compete with Roy Orbison doing his PRETTY WOMAN 😘
Or him performing “The Comedians” at the Black & White Night.
Breathtaking. Together is into the history books.
I was lucky enough to see Roy twice back in the '70's, whom I grew up with, and see K.D. in the '80's.
Their voices are extraordinary.
K.D....my favorite female voice of all time....it's like velvet.
I agree, I never liked her song selection, always weird stuff, but these classics, showcases her perfect voice.
Their voices blend so well. That was beautiful ❤
The greatest joy of my life was to be able to see Roy Orbison live, twice. You have to see KD do Hallelujah and Constant Craving. KD was one of the backup vocalists on Roy's Black and White DVD.
I grew up hearing Constant Craving on the radio😁, so I'm familiar with it. I do think her voice is beautiful, though I never listened to a lot of her work. Thank you...I'll add your other suggestion to my list!
Ive never heard anyone better than Roy!
KD is awesome too!
Everyone said Roy was shy and was always self conscious of his singing. They say he was the nicest sweetest person! (I believe that)!
I have lived k.d. lang for so many years. Her voice is perfect. Orbison is an icon. When he was inducted into the Hall of Fame Roy's wife gave the song to her to present. I never tire of either.
Aw, that's sweet. Thank you for telling me that! I feel like the artists that I overlooked when I was younger sound so great to me now (k.d. lang). I need to listen to more, which I'm sure I will be! 😁
My favourite kd lang song is her version of “The Air That I Breathe”. Her voice is I like listening to rich warm chocolate.
Oh that is a perfect description
I was privileged to see Roy Orbison perform sing this song live, about a year before he died. I was front row centre at the Ontario Pace Forum. When he hit those high notes, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
Thank you for sharing and reacting.
Thank you for watching! That must've been awesome to see that legend in concert!😁
RIP R O .., SHOUT OUT TO MISS KD LANG ...THANKS
D. Lynn - thanks for the upload and thanks for Roy Orbison was a great singer and I'm a big fan of his for many years. He is outstandng.
love the song and like your reaction.. and thanks for the Infos too!
Wow that really got me. Roy was really great. KD can really belt it out. Great duet.
I get chills everytime hear this version.
I love the way you know your stuff when you speak. You are a pleasure to listen to.
Thank you very much! I'm happy that you enjoyed my reaction!
Loved this slower version, very emotional, very powerful and very beautiful! Just loved it!
One of THE best duets ever! Thanks for reviewing.
I agree...it was lovely to listen to! Thank you for watching!😁
What a wonderful break for KD> See her olympics performance and Black and White Night
K.D. Lang is my favorite female singer. Her voice is like velvet. Roy's voice was very lovely too. React to K.D.'s "Constant Craving". RIP Roy. xx
I have heard Constant Craving...I actually appreciate it more now that I'm older. Her voice is indeed lovely! And Mr. Orbison is just a legend!
Magnificent and incomparable.
KD did a cd with Tony Bennett! Awesome CD.
I love this. I also love kd langs version of Skylark. She sounds like she should be a torch singer. what a beautiful voice.
Wow that's Beautiful music
Roy Orbison's honors include inductions into.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014.
He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and five other Grammy Awards
Roy was admired by most all in the industry. Don Mclean made an excellent version of crying as well. Roy had a ton of well known hits and he traveled his own road. Also an original member of the Travelin' Wilburys.
... He also had a very sad life stricken with many personnel hardships & sorrows.
KD Lang was one of the backup singers for Roy on the Black and White Nights concert. Check this concert out, it's well worth a watch.
Thank you!
Roy Orbison is a favorite of mine, I absolutely love his Blue Bayou. I don't like all of K.D. Lang's songs but damn she has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. Check out her song Big Boned Gal, its fun and a different sound for KD.
Thank you...I'll put that on my list!😁
I am not a singer, in fact, I don't even like the sound of my speaking voice LOL. But what I noticed about KD is that she paces her voice to compliment who she is singing with. You can hear it when she is singing with Dwight Yoakam, she does a duet with him called Sin City. He is my absolute favorite singer, last time I saw him in concert I broke my book heal dancing ha ha ha. Hearing them together you know KD could blow Dwight totally out of the water but she stays with him vocally the entire time and the sound they put out together is sublime IMO. Another fantastic duet I ran across is one called stumbling In its by Suzy Quatro and Norman ua-cam.com/video/Lw0gdKJ5mpw/v-deo.html I know its country, but it give it a listen these two might surprise you
@@sidneyarmstrong9850 hey, I will try anything (musically) once!🤣🤣 And I can agree with you on k.d. pacing her voice. I feel like she wanted Roy to lead, but she complimented him so well! Thank you again...can't wait to check these songs out!👍
He was affectionately known as The Big O by his fans.
That big Zero, what a shlub
Or are we talking orgasm here?
@@louistracy6964 He was a singer for his time, cant judge anyone from the past by present day standards. peace and love.
Honest review from the heart. Great show gal.
Two great singers
Beautiful.
First time seeing you react and I'll be watching again. Loved your reaction. Thanx
Thank you for watching!😁
muy buen duo, maravilloso.
Lang amazing voice
Indeed!😁
Wow!
I adore when k.d. lang does harmonies...
Ms. Lynn - 1st time watching you and I'm very impressed. You come across as honest very professional. Great choice to react to and it's lovely to see a young person appreciate such true artistry.
Have loved both artists forever.
Never got to see Roy Orbison but I have seen k.d. Lang a few times.
1st time was back in the early 90's at the fabulous Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA.
When she started to sing I swear everybody's heads were thrown back from her powerful voice! Lol! Have NEVER been disappointed by her; She's never been off key and always immerses herself in each and every song. Plus...she's very funny.
All the best to you and keep up the good work! ☺
I appreciate this compliment/comment...thank you! I try to be as honest as possible! I never got into k.d. lang...for some reason, I just wasn't interested in her music. This video showed me how talented she was...enough for a legend like Roy Orbison to seek her out for his song. I recognize how beautiful her voice is now...it's sad how our opinions change as we get older! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!😁
Funny though - although she got it right with this live performance on Late Night, KD was noticeably flat in hitting the high note “Cry” in Crying when they recorded it. They say that Roy didn’t like overdubs and takes, so most of his work was recorded “first take, only take”. One would have thought he would have made an exception for KD’s mishap on the recording.
Forgot how good Roy Orbison sounds?? How? Half of me wants you to stand in the corner while the album Mystery Girl plays; the other half is glad that you know and respect the talent in his unique voice. Roy is a legend for a reason. K. D. is awesome, too.
Nobody puts D. Lynn in the corner!🤣🤣🤣
Roy and KD met for the first time that night. Loved Roy's 3 Octave range voice. Roy passed away December 1988. RIP!
thanks for this, d. - as much as I love Roy - KD is amazing!
I agree...I enjoyed finally listening to her, rather than just hearing her in the distance from a Walmart sound system! Thank you for watching!
@@DLynn I love the stuff she did on the old "torchy" - Patsy Cline-influenced songs -- "I'm down to my last Cigarette," for instance!
I love your review! You are very thoughtful in your analysis, something that’s missing from 99% of other reactions. Subscribed!
two great voices
You should see the live cover that kd. did alone as a tribute to Roy.
Wow.. what a great combination... Love them both! Great blast from the past. (This must be early.. KD is wearing shoes haha) If you get a chance.. listen to KD Lang's version of Leonard Cohens's Hallelujah.. I think thats my favorite version. Thanks, D.. great reaction as usual.. Thanks~
Hahaha...so k.d. lang doesn't wear shoes sometimes?🤔 I think you might be the 5th person that suggested her version of Hallelujah. I'm guessing that she tears it apart if so many of you like it...can't wait to get to it...thank you!😁👍
You should hear her do this song at a tribute to him his family asked her to perform it.🇨🇦❤
He smiles at her at the end and in another version of this, I saw his smile start to come up - I have Never seen him smile on any other recordings.
Look at him performing “She got it” live from a Belgian award show. He’s pure smiles - and passed away within weeks after the show.
You should also listen to the live one of kd. doing Hallelujah. Her voice is so powerful. You are right , Rot picked her because her voice and no one else could do a better job of harmony with him. kd. Lang is from my province of Alberta in Canada.
You should listen to her 2nd album called “Shadowland” you will understand
Thank you for the suggestion!😁
D. Lynn thanks for the review of this wonderful classic duo. What a wonderful combination of beautiful voices.
wish I knew how kd lang is faring in 2020
KD Lang did a cover of Skylark for the cole porter movie. The song is incredible.
So nice to see the young folk open to this.
Dang never heard this version. Incredible. Like the bit of history you gave.
You should react to KD Lang's cover of hallelujah.
I got it on my list, and I can't wait to get to it! Thank you!😁👍
Interesting Fact: Roy Orbison had an 8 Octave voice, Most Opera singers can shatter glass with 6 Octaves.
@@solomongrundy4905 Indeed. I don't know where these people get this stuff from. A piano hasn't got eight octaves. Three octaves is plenty to sing most pop songs.
Elvis said the best voice in "Rock and Roll" was "Roy Orbison" because he sings like an angel. Incredible range Roy has and can hit so many high notes. K. D. Lang does it too.
I am proud to say I have seen Roy live in South Australia in the 70's
k.d. was one of Roy's backing singers and got promoted by the wise man
Roy Orbison has an incredibly wide vocal range. You should listen to his older stuff, but k.d. Lang is in a class of her own - like Freddie Mercury.
k.d. was on the Black White album with Roy
❤❤❤
Whoever had the idea for this duet should get a metal.
D. Lynn , you’re great at what you do ! .... thank you !
I had the pleasure of seeing Roy live back in the early eighties.Classic Roy!
That had to be epic!😁
@@DLynn It was awesome!...he hit every note not missing a beat.
My great aunt was his 4th grade teacher.
Good choice! I remember watching some UA-cam videos awhile back of Roy in his youthful prime singing this.
I'll have to find those...I'd like to hear him sing it on his own. Not that the duet wasn't good...I did like k.d. on it with him!😁
Perfection...two opera singers of rock.
Hooray for Friday and the weekend!!! :-D They certainly made an impressive duo!!! I've always loved the song. Thanks for reacting! ;-)
Yeah, it was an unexpected duo (to me), but they did really well. It seems the song did better than the movie it was for, lol! Hope you're enjoying your weekend @Grandma's Gone Gaming!😁
OMG how bloody wonderful........
Roy Orbison had a multi octave range and used them to the best effect. KD also has that range.
Roy Orbison is a rock god. He could have chosen anyone to sing with but he chose her!
I fell in love with Roy's guitarist!
Such an awsome duet, thank you.
Thank you. Please do, [You Got It] by Roy Orbison 1988. The video is of his performance in Antwerp, Belgium 1988. He died just 17 days later of a heart attack while visiting his parents at home in Tennessee, he was 52. Knowing what happens not long after his performance makes it chilling, but, looks fantastic in his performance and, it is a great video.
He also is synonymous for "Pretty Woman" that was recorded years before The Hit Movie was released. Also he was part of The Traveling Wilburys that consisted of other Rock Legends. George Harrison, Tom Petty himself, RIP, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne (ELO). KD Lang is also a legend on the Canadian Music Scene. She is the Pride of Alberta.
Lovely Voices!!!
Roy was also in the Travelling Wilburys
Just found you over a year and a half after you posted this. I thought it was a new post. But thank you D. For posting. It meant so much to me. It was bluezy and it fit my mood tonight. Am a fan of both artist.
Thanks for your reaction. I like you.
Thank you!😁
Very thoughtful critique. Billy Gilman did a amazing cover of this song on The Voice. KD looks so much like Clay Aiken in this video.
There is a range of 8 octaves that the voice can achieve, a renown opera singer can hit 3 masterfully, Mr. Orbison is said to have been able to cover 5 of the octaves. My understanding is that is like being the Tesla or Einstein of geniuses, I know I'm a fan of his singing as was Elvis Presley. He considered him to be the best. He's definitely among the best
Roy is quite old in this clip. He used to be able to sing every part and had a wide range. KD Lang has a terrific voice.
He was 52 I think. He died in Dec 88.
He also sang with the tralving willbwerrys. They are great also . Love your hair
I was just on another reactors channel and the discussion was the best version of Hallelujah--imo it has to be KDs--a great reaction would be to her performance of it at the 2010 winter olympics
Thank you @Angie Westall!😁
My favorite version would be Australia's Logie Awards 2010. The Olympics were also a very good one.
Her 2005 Juno performances of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and Helpless by Neil Young are both worth a watch.
I can't imagine any other two singers whose voices mesh so well. I agree though, Constant Craving isn't one I care for. I like her ballads are the best. Her duets with Tony Bennett are wonderful.
I actually only knew Constant Craving...and it's not bad. She just wasn't someone I kept up with. But I appreciate her voice, especially with Mr. Orbison!
@@DLynn Her older stuff...more torch-y...is IMO, her best. Her first album " "Shadowland" is awesome...first time I'd heard her and I fell completely in love :)
@@michellecole6325 thank you...maybe I'll check that out!
Check out Roy Orbinson's Black and white nights .. all star cast and k. d. kang
I was never alright after she died, love hurts so much
In 1984 I didn't know who K.D. was and saw Roy and her perform Crying at the New Orleans World's Fair. I was sitting near the back and thought she was a guy with a great tenor voice!
D Lynn.....your diction is incredible! You should be on the radio!! (Maybe you are and I don’t know it). Anyway....please please please react to KD Lang singing Hallelujah at the 2010 Olympics! I can tell you have a wonderful appreciation of music and I’ve e just subscribed! I’m addicted to these reaction channels on UA-cam.....music is in my soul...can’t sing to save my life but boy do I love it.....and am very emotional about it so a huge thank you! Keep up the great work! 👍😀
Thank you very much!💜 Not on the radio...I wish! Thank you for the suggestion...I think someone else also mentioned Hallelujah. I'll put it on my list. Just to warn you, it will take awhile, but I'll get to it!😁
