Being something of an old fart, I love it when I see younger generations discover the great music I grew up with. Yes, please. More like this.
I too brother. I'm headed rapidly to 73 yrs old. Once in a blue moon of blue moons I hear something I have not heard even on Mr. Orbison compilation albums. BUT not many. The Raybans were initially to hide behind but he found he could see the audience past the spot lights and kept them as a trademark.
When Roy Orbison joined The Travelling Willburys (George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan) they all were in awe of him. Elvis was a baritone. Roy was a counter tenor. Elvis would have killed for his range.
What a crooner man is tone is immortal. He went on to have a very long productive career moved into production and also resurfaced when he joined the Traveling Wilburys which was Tom Petty George Harrison himself and the primary songwriter for the Electric Light Orchestra whose name eludes me right now. Excellent band as well
OOO! He should def react to the travelling willburys. So good.
Just going to say the same thing 👍
He was not blind but he had very poor vision. Wearing sunglasses was his trademark. He was Elvis's favorite singer. Girls were somber because they were in awe of his voice. I was a teenager in the 1960s, and Roy was really popular.
Sorry, Roy wasn’t a countertenor…he was a tenor. “Countertenors are, give or take, able to sing the same range of notes as female contralto and mezzo-soprano singers. Contralto falls within the alto range and is the lowest range of female voices, while mezzo-sopranos are somewhere between altos and sopranos, not being able to hit the lowest notes of the former range nor the highest notes of the latter.” There are plenty of good examples on UA-cam…and Roy Orbison wasn’t one.
"Pretty Woman", "Only the Lonely" "Blue Bayou" "Running Scared" "Its Over" are all big big Roy Orbison hits from the Sixties. Roy and Elvis came up together and were fans of one another.
My favorite is Blue Angel!
when you went to a studio recording years ago, you had to stay quiet and not make any noise.
In Dreams...❤
Pretty woman was actually written for Elvis and Elvis didn’t like it. So Roy sang it and look what it did for him.
It's Over always makes me cry! 😢
It's called respect. When you go to hear someone sing, you quietly sit & listen. One of the reasons The Beatles quit doing concerts was because no one actually listened to them.
I am so blessed to have been born in the 50's generation that grew up with the BEST music over the next 3 decades.😍
I was born in 1940, so I grew up with 50's music in my teens. I like 30 & 40's music too but stopped mid 70's.
Born in the 50’s BEST music, fastest cars and coolest clothes ♥️
Same here - born '51 ... good music stopped in the early 80s - agree! So happy to have grown up with this music - what a privilege! God bless you.
KD Lang did a duet with Roy Orbison on this song in 1988. KD Lang is a well known Canadian singer, who also did a famous rendition of Leonard Cohen's Halleluiah. Her voice is amazing.
Their duet was so good, and her tribute to Roy was just special
I love that version.
Leonard Cohen said she did the best job singing his song.
Yes RoyOrbison is blind!❤
People acted differently back in the 50's& 60's you were expected to be dignified in public ❤❤
“Elvis was bigger than life. His success was documented and laid out for him. He came to the first show I had in Memphis, and it was very nice. He sort of treated me like an equal, because we were both fresh in the business.
We got to be great friends and kindred souls” - Roy Orbison.
Someone just HAD to bring up Elvis. So many more talented singers around. I know to his fans I just committed a cardinal sin. Just remember not everyone loved or even LIKED Elvis.
You are so cute. I'm a 68 year old grandma. It is making my heart sing watching you learning and appreciating the songs from the past. His audience is behaving like that because that is what was expected...they had to behave. Times have changed!
Yes indeed he did pretty woman!!
Keep your pod cast going strong...love it and you!!!
Cheers you , I was there around them same time , suffering through all that talent ! ! heh heh heh heh
I'm a 70 year old....I grew up with all these songs and was married to a semi pro musician....I live the new energy of the younger generation listening to these songs and listening to the words...the unpicking of the lyrics has revealed a lit to me too.....THANK YOU MR PEGASUS....love your channel....❤
It’s possible that the crowd was a little subdued because of the concert being filmed. Maybe?
Fellow 68 year old here, loving this channel.
My dad used to play Roy Orbison all the time growing up.😊 They were pretty close in age. Maybe about a year apart. Elvis Presley was a big fan of Roy orbison. Elvis even once said that he thought Roy had the most perfect voice in the world. Elvis even said that he'd never record one of Roy's songs because he wouldn't be able to do it any better.
Most likely the song you've heard maybe in movies that Roy Orbison did was called oh pretty woman but my personal favorite of his songs is (anything you want) I sang that song to my everyday while she was going through chemo treatment it's very hard for me to listen to it now without crying
Wise choice. I've heard a few people cover Roy Orbisons songs. Brave. How are they NOT gonna mess that up?
Yes he is blind .he could sing in 3 octaves he is awesome
@@williamweaver470he was not blind
@@laupstad Don McLean had a cover of this very song, Crying, that was a bit of a hit. I remember Orbison drawing a distinction saying that he did in full voice, without using falsetto.
Roy was not blind but he did have poor eyesight. He forgot his normal glasses for a performance once so he wore his prescription sunglasses instead and that became his signature look. He was also self-conscious about his almost white hair from a young age and dyed it jet black. Incredible singer and musician.
He transports me!
I did not know that about his hair!
He was albino
This is actually not true that he had poor eyesight. It was just more speculation from him wearing the dark sunglasses all the time on stage. He had stated several times in interviews that he never had a stylist or anyone like that so he wore whatever he was the most comfortable for him. He wore the dark sunglasses because the made him more comfortable on stage, with the lights and even having to look into large audiences. So it was a lot of rumors and speculation that just wasn’t accurate. I have no idea about the hair thing, I have never heard that before.
Same with Stevie Wonder, they Were legally blind which means they couldn't see farther than , 2 feet in front of them. Elvis after he got glaucoma was the same after 1973.which makes it even more amazing how he performed on stage! The lights hurt Elvis eyes so bad that it caused him alot of pain . It was tears streaming from his condition, not sweat like people thought streaming down his face. There was always someone waiting in the wings to lead Elvis out to the car from the stage because he was blind from the lights!
I honestly can't think of another person who sounds like him. He was one of a kind.
The crowd is enthralled.
I love Roy Orbison’s voice. Once you’ve heard him sing you’ll never forget him.
The most cruel turn of fates I've seen in my life was when in the middle of of his late 80's comeback, He was taken from us..He'd been through sooo much heartache in his life and deserved to live a lot longer.
Roy had a 7 octave range and was amazing. And yes he sang a duet with kd lang singing this song. And then at his memorial she sang it. Stunning rendition. kd lang has THE most beautiful voice.
I think you’re mistaking Roy for a piano.
A piano has a seven octave range.
Roy had a THREE octave range… because he was a human, not a piano. 😂
No singer in history has ever had a seven octave range.
Good Lord
@@danrebeiz4598 Actually in the "Guinness Book of World Records" there is a man by the name Tim Storms who has a 10 octave vocal range and a woman named Georgia Brown with a vocal range of 8 octaves. However, I did look up Roy and he had between 3 and 4 octave range.
Then I stand corrected regarding no human being able to do that. I guess the next logical question is can they actually sing in those registers? :)
Thank you for dropping the facts. Crazy.
Love the unbelievable talent of the Traveling Wilberyies
@@danrebeiz4598 I don't think they could sing throughout that range. The lowest notes sounded more like clicking because of the slow vibration.
I love, love, LOVE Roy Orbison! No other voice compares!
As 77 yr oldy, it’s great to see the "younger generation" appreciate some of the greatest rock and roll tunes, Music transcends all generations
Damn, hearing all his hits back to back I definitely think he doesn't get enough praise. Legend!
He had photophobia, extreme sensitivity to light. A medical condition. Roy Orbison had a phenomenal voice . Songs from the 60s were done without any enhancement. He was a prolific, songwriter and performer. Amazing.
Roy Orbison had the incredible ability to sing in 3 octaves and his music was excellent.
Roy Orbison is ABSOLUTELY the GOAT with his voice and people would flock around just to support his amazing talent.
You made me smile so big as you recognized the voice. He is amazing.
I knew you would know a lot of his songs! A few of my favorites are Dream baby, & Blue bayou! He was also in a super group called The Traveling Wilburys with Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan & others! Definitely check out some of their songs, too! Again, I'm loving every second of this!!
"The Traveling Wilburys with Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan & others! " And others = Jeff Lynne, the primary hitwriter for ELO. He also has tons of other credits. He deserves equal billing with the other names you mentioned.
Ahh The Travelling Wilburys. Also had legendary ELO guitarist Jeff Lynne.
He also did "I drove all night"
@@Roberto_79 ah so Cindy Lauper’s version is a cover? Didn’t know that.
Love the way you appreciate the quality of RoyO’s voice - his range and songs are legendary.
His voice is just so incredible and his song writing is unique - check out his story: it's truly about overcoming tragedy.
"In Dreams" is my favourite from him, but he's got a dozen songs that are all time classics. He had such a memorable voice and the emotion he can convey is amazing.
" Dreams" preformed at the Black and White Show/ Video.
Amen!
You need to watch "Black and White Nights". It was a tribute to him. Bruce Springsteen, K. D. Lang, Tom Waites (sort of), I can't remember all of the names that jumped at a chance to play with him. "Pretty Woman" is amazing.
The best EVER!!❤
The duet he did of this song with kd lang is a treat
Roy Orbison was fabulous!!! MANY GREAT HITS!!! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
The crowd was told to sit and be quiet because it was being recorded. He wrote a lot of hit records for everyone including Elvis.
Saw him too, in the early 70's he didn't talk much just introduce his next song and we clapped so hard our hands turned red. Back then recording or not you sat quietly and listened to the song and clapped at the end. If you made noise, you would be ushered out immediately.
There is a fantastic video of Roy Orbison doing a concert filmed in black and white with a ton of famous musicians in his backing band. He was doing his hits with k d lang. Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Warnes doing backing vocals and members of Elvis' backing band James Burton, Ronnie Tut and Jerry Scheff plus Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, JD Souther, Jackson Brown and others who all admired and respected him, in a show called 'A Black and White Night'. Soooo worth checking out!
That was the best concert I saw.
The Traveling Wilbury’s were amazing. I remember listening to them over and over. So much talent in that group. Roy is a legend. No one sounds like him or has such range. He’s just incredible.
I also love "Pretty Woman". My parents used to listen to him all the time. His voice grabbed my heart. He had such a dad life. Thank you!
"Blue Bayou" is a great Roy Orbison song.
Love his rendition and Linda Ronstadt’s cover of it. ❤
Not the best version,I saw him perform a few years before he passed. He stood perfectly still and blew us out of the theater with the power of his voice. He was magnificent ☮️ Not blind just wore shades
But his eyesight was very bad.
Roy Orbison had the most pure, beautiful, haunting voice, and with a range was that was stunning. I don't think we'll see his like again.
Many (many) years ago I had the privilege of seeing Roy Orbison in concert - he hit every note and in person his voice was even more thrilling. If you haven't seen the Traveling Wilbury's "End of the Line" or "Handle Me With Care" they're just fantastic - sadly 3 of that super-group (Roy Orbison, Tom Petty & George Harrison) have all passed on but the music lives on. Listen to his song "In Dreams" - it's a heart-breaker.
Elvis said his goal was to sing as well as Roy! He thought his voice was The-Standard to strive for!
That was pure talent a singer who could actually sing a song in a live performance flawlessly. Sample Linda Ronstadt's Blue Bayou also a live performance no autotune.
Roy was not blind. He had a condition that made him very sensitive to light. Elvis’ first national hit was heartbreak Hotel in 1956. Roy Orbison’s first national hit was in 1961, with Running Scared/Love Hurts. Roy started performing in 1956. Elvis started performing in 1954 but didn’t go anywhere. In 1956, he recorded That’s All Right, and his career hit the big time.
The Big O had major top-ten hits with "Only The Lonely" in 1960, and also with "Blue Angel" later in that year.
Flooded with memories of one of my dad's all-time favorites. Learned early on the AMAZING power of Roy's music on fussy babies. Our grandbabies and now great-grands have been soothed and drifted to peaceful slumber by this phenomenal artist. Thank you, Dad, for sharing wonderful music that blesses me to this day. Happy Father's Day up there.
Google says: Roy Orbison wore sunglasses due to photophobia, an extreme sensitivity to light likely related to a medical condition. The iconic shades became a trademark of his image, adding to the mystery and uniqueness of his stage presence.
I'm 45 year old and found his best off cd on my mother's closet. Amazing artist. Roy and also The Platters was my gateway to this old music.
Yes, he did all the songs you listed. You should REALLY check out The Traveling Wilburys, some his later group and an absolute supergroup, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne.
End of the line, or Not alone anymore both heavily feature Roy on Vocals.
The newer generations missed out on so much of the greatest music and greatest musicians. ❤
Always listened to Roy. What a voice.
Roy had so many hits. He also did this with K D Lang. She later did a solo tribute to him. She was one of his backup singers. The lead singer for the Mavericks patterned his style after Roy. I bet You have heard Pretty Woman by Roy.
I was priveliged to see Roy in concert back in the mid 80's. I was front row center. When he sang Crying the hair on my neck stood up snd I had goosebumps.
Roy's hair was dyed. He had very light hair and light sensiive eyes. That is why you see the dark glasses.
I remember when this was a huge hit. Actually this album generated a lot of hits. His voice was unique. Every teen girl loved his songs. Yes he wrote and sang Only the Lonely. Miss him. Yes, Pretty Woman and many more songs.
Roy is a classic glad to see you expanding your horizons here❤
He did all those classics 🙏🐊❤️🦉👍
Elvis was friends with Roy and at one of Elvis’s concerts he saw Roy in the audience And said Roy had the most beautiful voice he ever heard
I'm 78 years old and grew up with Roy Orbison. Truly, I enjoy hearing the songs as much as I did years ago. Don't forget Billie Holiday.
You must listen to K.D. Lang singing this, at the request by Roy’s family at Roy’s tribute show. Roy sang with the supergroup The Traveling Willbury’s. I also believe Roy was about the same time as Elvis. Roy also sang Pretty Woman!!
According to Roy Orbinson's son, Roy forgot his glasses when he went to do a show in Europe. This was before easily replaceable glasses with plastic lenses or easy quick deliveries. He only had his prescription sunglasses to wear. So he wore them in place of his regular glasses. He wore them even during his performances.
Later he decided to continue to wear dark glasses for subsequent performances even when he had his regular glasses. The dark glasses became his personal trademark during his performances.
Elvis was 10 years earlier, in 1955. Elvis said Roy was his favorite singer. Roy came on the music scene in 1961 with his hit, Only the Lonely.
Howdy From Texas another Texas Legend. Elvis said Roy had the most beautiful voice he ever heard 6 octave
Elvis was first, they both recorded at Sun Records, along with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. They all came after Elvis was famous and they were all greatly influenced by him. Almost every singer that came after Elvis was influenced by him. He changed everything about popular music, dress, culture, etc.❤
The Beatles loved Carl Perkins.
The King had mad respect for Roy & other artists of the times - it was a Golden era of musical gems.
@@InspectorVolthey did. They also loved Elvis as John Lennon said, "before Elvis there was nothing". They said if not for Elvis there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
Those time!! SINGERS! Were just AMAZING!!! REAL SONGS & MUSIC!!♥️♥️🕊️🕊️🕊️ROY! Elvis!! 🕯️♥️🕊️ JOHNNY Carson!! ❤🎉
His voice! Smooth as butter❤Much love from Canada❤🇨🇦
Roy Orbison is an icon! His voice is incredible! Love your reaction!
This is another one of Roy's songs.He was a great song writer.He had a lot of tragedy in his life but he never seemed to stop performing.BTW,Roy wasn't blind but he often had stage fright.This sounds familiar because you just listend to K.D.Lang covering his songs.
A Black And White Night with Roy Orbison is a great watch. Star studded event. Orbison has always been my favourite singer. :)
Roy wrote Oh, Pretty Woman with friend Bill Dees. Story is his wife Claudette (another song) came in to get money from him and left, walking down the street to go shopping. He and Bill penned that song while she was gone.
Roy Orbison was amazing! I was a teenager in the 60s! It was a time of excitement, opinions, turmoil and war! I feel lucky to have been a part of that generation, although we haven’t done well by yours! We are now old men and women who have lived good lives and we are leaving you in times that are very much like the sixties, both the good and the bad! It looks different but feels much the same.
I wish you would do a personal bio on Roy. Heartbreaking. Magnificent voice. One of a kind. The audiences then were told to be polite,because they were brought up like that. Me too.
Hi BP, Roy Orbison an icon. He was not blind.and he did sing them songs. I love his voice, vocally from low to high and in between omgosh!!...Peace🤙☝️😌
Roy is awesome, one of a kind. K D Lang does this song as a tribute to the late great Roy. You need to hear it, amazing!!
I remember when Elvis made the comment that Roy Orbison had the best voice he had ever heard. I was young then and loved them both.
Roy Orbison had a 3-4 octave range of singing. An amazing tenor who's style earned him the title of Caruso of Rock. "Leah" is a must to listen to by him ;)
Roy's voice was next level ,his life story is incredible.
No, he was not blind. But his eyes were very light sensitive. So he the dark sunglasses to help him see on stage. And if you have ever performed on stage, then you know how bright they can get.
I watched this video when it was new. I loved your reaction and appreciation for Roy and his music. I'm an Old Broad (b.1954) so I remember hearing Roy on the radio when I was quite young. Only The Lonely and Pretty Woman were on the radio then. I felt so bad for him--he sounded so hurt. Turns out he was hurt-more than folks should be: he lost his wife in a motorcycle (I believe) accident, and 2 of his children in a house fire. He could try to hide that pain behind sunglasses (and poor eye-sight), but he couldn't hide the pain from his voice.
In the 1960s, Roy Orbison was signed to the Monument Records label. This Monument Concert was a TV special broadcast in the UK, featuring Monument Records music artists. Roy Orbison’s set was the main event of the concert.
Roy Orbison was a major influence on The Beatles’ early songwriting. This was most likely Roy Orbison’s first television performance in the UK, so this was a major television event for British music fans in 1965.
K.D. Lang's tribute to Orbison ("Crying"), and her duet with Orbison, are not to be missed! TY!
My personal favorite of Roy's is Running Scared. My personal connection to that song involves me heading home after my first game playing for my HS football team, after we won, my dad was driving me home listening to the oldies station (this would have been 1988) and that song came on as we pulled out of the parking lot and the song just hit me that (the other teams) "they were running scared".
Unfortunately that was our only win of the season we were terrible. LOL But that song and memory stuck with me.
I saw him in concert, when I was 12. A couple months before he died. It was amazing. His voice is pure, even live.
My dad loved this music. I've listened to him forever. In fact, my first name was named after one of his songs. Leah, I will say that I love to ask people questions. And so when I used to work in retail? I would ask people who was your favorite people that you've ever seen. Play live in a huge amount of people. Said that live Roy over Sunday has the best voice like a lot. Of people
Glad you got around to Roy what a talented man he wrote and sang so many banger’s 🔥
Love to see you reacting to arguably the greatest voice ever!! We used to actually listen to great performances. Check out kd lang, and The Traveling Wilburys. Love your reactions! Keep them coming! I'm a 74 year old musician, and you keep breaking down my favorite artists!
love, Love, LOVE Roy Orbison! I grew up on 60’s pop music and it helped me through some difficult times. It makes me so happy to see younger people loving these classics! Keep up the great work!
Music scholars say that Roy Orbison has three-or four-octave range and his powerful, impassioned voice earns him the sobriquet “the Caruso of Rock.” In fact, he and Enrico Caruso (opera) were the only 20th century tenors capable of hitting E over high C
His voice is so unique and beautiful. Should listen to him with K.D. Lang😊
He had many hits , I was 20 years old when he sang this one. Danced my feet off to his music. I actually like KD Langs , cover another amazing artist from yesteryear. Hope everything is well with you and family BP🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Love Gmaw❤️❤️❤️👵🏼
The song “Crying” was written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. It was first recorded and released by Roy Orbison with Bob Moore’s Orch. & Chorus in 1961. Later, it was covered by various artists, including Don McLean, whose version went to number 1 in the UK in 1980. So, Roy Orbison sang “Crying” first. 😊Yes, Elvis Presley also covered the song “Crying.” His rendition was released in 1976 as part of his album “From Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee.” While Roy Orbison’s version remains iconic, Elvis added his own touch to the song, showcasing his powerful vocals. Both artists brought their unique styles to this emotional ballad. 😊🎶
I was born in 53 and had the luxury of hearing the best music ever. I still listen to these songs and am so happy that the youngsters are finding our generation was the best ever.
Check out the version of Crying Roy recorded with K.D. Lang - it's dang near operatic.
Check out the song "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaac and you'd swear it was Roy reincarnated. excellent song was very popular When I first heard it on the radio circa 1990, I thought Roy had another hit we didn't know about!
Enjoying your reactions very much! Loved Roy Orbison and this song. The video of k.d. lang's performance of "Crying" at the tribute to Roy after his death is a must-see. He was one of a kind, and k.d. lang is a one of a kind voice as well.
Check out Roy in his later career with a group of LEGENDS called "Travelling Wilburys".
He's in the music video for "Handle Me With Care".
There's another video they made "End of the Line" but Roy passed before they shot the video, so they used an empty chair with just his guitar in shots where he was the vocalist to honor him.
Both songs are great - and are masterpieces with some of the greatest rock and roll artists all time: George Harrison (Beatles - RIP), Tom Petty (RIP), Roy Orbison (RIP), Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne (of Electric Lights Orchestra aka ELO).
You boys keep playing my childhood. I never woke my dad. Every morning, every day... record player☺️ I ♡ Roy
I loved him more than Elvis, my aunties thought I was nuts.
His version of this from his Black & White Night much later in life is awesome. With an all-star band backing him. His voice got even better with age. He was a hit machine.
We want you just the way you are. Love your reactions and the honesty. We can watch anyone react but we come back for you.
It may interest you to know that Roy and Johnny Cash were practically neighbors and would often get together and jam at each others homes...often joined by other talents like Bob Dylan and Chris Christopherson . One could only imagine the genius present in one place
No synthesizer , no wawa peddle , no heavy bass , no heavy treble , pure talent , couple ole' amps , a guitar and voice .
Great singer..Love your true reaction.
One of the best performances EVER was K.D. Lang singing this song at the memorial for Roy Orbison. Is unbelievable and will leave you speechless.
Everyone knows him from pretty woman but there are so many other good songs from him it's worth diving into the catalog
Elvis once said the best singer alive was Roy Orbison
Roy Orbison = musical legend
One of my all time favorite Orbison songs is Running Scared - an entire movie in song in less than 3 minutes. It takes incredible writing talent to convey an entire story so compactly yet with all the emotion and power of entire novel.
I've been following rap fans reacting to other type of music for a while now. It struck me that you would probably have an interesting take on poetry as well. "Do not go gentle into that good night" is probably the only poem that ever stuck with me. The author Dylan Thomas has a reading of it on youtube if you want to try it out.
