If you like him singing this song, look for him for other songs he sang and taped from this Melbourne, Australia concert. You will not be disappointed. I really miss him. I have listened to him since around 1960 and have just about all of his albums and records. He always has been my favorite and will be until the day I die.
@@johnlawrence2757 True. I was expecting just a little bit more of a dynamic ending. An octave higher. That aside, he is still one of my top favorite singers.
Simply majestic, the incomparable, unequalled, beautiful voice of the magnificent Mr. Roy Orbison ! The Lovely Linda and I were blessed to see/hear Roy sing his heart out at Lulu's Roadhouse, here in town. He was spine-tinglingly awesome! I was fortune enough to get a close-up photograph, which I cherish amongst my treasures.
I am 71 and have been a fan forever. I was lucky to see him perform at the peak of his success back in the day on a number of occasions. I never tire of listening to him. Got most of his recordings that I have collected over the years on vinyl the best medium ever.
No idea he did this version ever existed and have others have tried. This is absolutely the best and dam close to the original. My Christmas was just made on 12-25-2024. Thank you so much. Love and miss you Roy.
Sorry I like Roy Orbison song but this song not for Roy. Elvis dose it better and more powerful version. Give Elvis a song and he dose it like his. King sings any tunes you name it and he can sing .
I am a country music fan but there are certain artists from my growing up that I really like and still listen to and Roy Orbison is one of them. He's in a class all by himself!
@@bluemoon1960Evidently you've never heard the original. No rational sentient human being would claim what you've just claimed without being openly mocked! 😂
Another song covered by Roy Orbison which once again shows just what a wonderfully beautiful voice he had. I love watching the many videos that people have put in the time and effort to post on RUclips. As much as I enjoy watching the video's and listening to his records it still makes me so sad that we lost Roy at such a young age. Three of the greats in the music world I was able to see live in Concert but passed away way to young were Roy Orbison, which was twice in the late 70's and Janis Joplin in Jan.of 1970. Also saw Elvis in 1975. I feel so privileged and lucky to have seen these three Icons and Legends live in Concert.
I have been to where he was born Vernon Texas grew up in WInk and where he died , only one place to go where he is buried in Hollywood. Without doubt the finest songsmith of his and any generation.
Até o Elvis reconheceu. E em vida se rendeu a Roy orbison reconhecendo-o como um grande cantor e uma das vozes mais bonitas. Elvis colocou Roy onde ele devia estar nas alturas.
Plus the awesome Johnny Cash. He covered this song with Fiona Apple, on the American Recordings series. I saw Cash in concert many times here in England.
Silly me thinking no one could out do Art Garfunkel's singing this song. OMG Roy Orbison had the most awesome voice, no 1 measures up to his delivery of any song. I ❤ this.
His rendition lends a more simpler understanding of the song to me. Because, the overpowering beauty and grandeur of the Simon and Garfunkel Original has far more intricacies and complexities, and stimulates the emotions of the era and the times, along with the almost mystical beauty and lore of the harmonious depths of the voices and innocence of a young Simon and Garfunkel. The Original can never be surpassed. It stands on its own. However, I can be so overwhelmed and swept up into the emotion of the original version as an experience, that I never actually realized the lyrical simplicity as expressed in this Orbison cover. This version allows me to hear the song without all the emotional background of my youth growing up and the memories and feelings associated with the song and holding the album cover and gazing at the vinyl record on my stereo turntable, the nuns in my school auditorium being awed by its depth and it being sung in choir. The song defined the times and the sentiments of the era. Simon and Garfunkel were the great minstrels of the 60’s and 70’s. It can never be duplicated or surpassed. Art Garfunkel’s version in Central Park was absolutely sublime and one felt literally slain and left vulnerable and open by its soul-piercing sense of mercy being bestowed in the lyrics of love and benediction between two human souls, one being temporarily deficient, being held and uplifted by a stronger mentor.
Beautiful this is first time I've heard him do this song He has been my favorite singer since early 60's Brought tears to my eyes I was lucky enough to hear him live a couple times
Saw him in NYC right before he passed. He was as brilliant then as ever. This is one of the greatest songs ever written, covered brilliantly, but Roy just absolutely nailed it!! He was so so good.
what a great tribute to paul simon for roy to do this song he is a great artist too him and art started busking in London and the rest is history roy was a real gentleman none better
I saw Roy 3 times in the mid-80s. Twice was at a place in DC called the Bayou. The club was in Georgetown. It held about 400 people. I was so close I could have touched Roy. When I think of those two shows I start to tingle. Harmonic brilliance and I was there. I'm so glad Roy became a Wilbury and got to taste the admiration he deserved.
it's simply....the best are gone people....the best.....hurts to listen to this,especially when u know these people put there hearts in this music.....rip Roy....Thanx for your music....I was in elementary school when it came over the intercom that he had passed away.....so sadddd
Just heard this for the first time and he has sung it sublimely, just as well as Art, if not better. His subtle little changes from the original make it sound even better than the original. I’m not sure which is better, but this version simply, has Roy’s ownership on it. It is a classic version, as good as any Simon&Garfunkle version. This is simply eclectic.
I’m a huge Roy Orbison fan, however I can’t agree with you that he does better than Art Garfunkel singing this song. Garfunkel singing this is one of the best vocals in the history of music.
@ Art didn’t have autotune when they recorded this song. Don’t get me wrong, I put Roy Orbison on top as a male vocalist, I just feel Art is untouchable on this song.
Roy is generally regarded as one of the best male singers ever, having said that, this is not one of his best performances, he doesn’t sing it as well as Art Garfunkle.
ESTE ROY ERA UM GÉNIO MAS NA SOMBRA DE OUTROS GÉNIOS.ESTA INTEMPORAL DO DO DUO S&G FOI BEM INTERPRETADA POR ESTE GRANDE ARTISTA:ROY ORBISON.O GAJO DOS ÓCULOS ESCUROS.

Not at his best though, is he!

74.5 now. Big big Roy fan. Never heard him sing this!
No idea he did this version ever existed and have others have tried. This is absolutely the best and dam close to the original. My Christmas was just made on 12-25-2024. Thank you so much. Love and miss you Roy.
Roy Orbisson had one of the best voices , even today not many ‘singers’ can come near him for his vocal purity and range .
Elvis Presley once said that Roy Orbison was the best singer in the world.
Sorry I like Roy Orbison song but this song not for Roy. Elvis dose it better and more powerful version. Give Elvis a song and he dose it like his. King sings any tunes you name it and he can sing .
Primera vez que veo y escucho este tema por el gran Roy Orbison.👏👏👏
I have never heard him sing this song... Incredible.
Nor have I. What a talent!! Sorely missed.
The people that put thumbs down to this great singer have no pulse !
the backing band and the arrangement are poor and his performance suffers as a result
@@jimbrown9915Can you be more specific...or does this comment mark the boundary of your musical ability? Any fool can be a naysayer!

Everything he sings is so beautiful…..that tone in his voice is just wow!🙏👌😎
the best rendition of this song ive ever heard
Try listening to Elvis's version it might change your mind.
Average cover.
Spot on, a full step flat is not acceptable, karaoke performance!
@@bluemoon1960Evidently you've never heard the original. No rational sentient human being would claim what you've just claimed without being openly mocked! 😂
The most amazing artist of all time a voice that never grows old a voice beyond all voices Thank you Roy Orbison ♥️🕊♥️
Beautyful
Even Elvis said Roy had a better voice than him. (Roy had a full 4 octave range) He makes this difficult song look easy.
I usually don’t like covers, but he really brings something special to this song ❤
WOW-a 75 year old man just cried.
WOW!!!!!!!! FIRST TIME I HEAR THIS VERSION BY ROY!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!
Maravilhosa, em destaque e memória dele e do Elvis Aaron Presley ❤❤❤
Paul Simon must have been very proud to know Roy covered this...fantastic voice!
Roy could sing Happy Birthday & it would be beautiful... R.I.P.
Art Garfunkel. Is not the only one to do justice to this song.
Thank you.
Absolutely awesome and very well done!!!✝️✝️🇱🇷🇱🇷👏👏👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️💗💕💓
Great performance that proves what a singular voice Art Garfunkel has. Great as Roy Ornison is, this is tribute level compared to the real thing.
a voice that will never be reached again
Andreas Beckers Elvis passed Roy by far but Roy was good !!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
i believe every word Roy sings.
I had no idea Roy covered this and I wonder why I never heard him perform it before -- his voice and this song belong together.
This is what I call THE music.Not these nowadays so called singers and their so called songs.
For the Ladies...
Yes sir, I agree...at least we have a wealth of genres and historical music to choose from...
One of music's true great voices. There is no one like the Big O.
donn409 Elvis was by far the best !!!
@@michaelmorin917 love Roy but Elvis was The Voice!
+donn409 Elvis said Roy was "The man with the golden voice". Elvis hated the Beatles though. I have no idea why?
I miss this guy terribly
Same here. He'll be gone 30 years next week. RIP
Roy Boy never disappoints.
We miss you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love Roy Orbison songs and his voice ....good interpretation ! Cheers from Lisbon 🇵🇹
Impressionante nunca ter visto esse vídeo antes! Muito lindo!
@@ricardodrummond4798 eu tinha o show completo, mas só consegui salvar essa parte
Amazing voice, incredibly smooth and powerful......great arrangement and I really like that bass tone from using a pick. Fantastic !
Excelente interpretación, no la conocia... solo en la voz de Paul y Art.
Wow thought i had listen to all his singing. He did a good job

You should check out Buck Owens version of this. It’s pretty amazing also.
Orbison had the greatest pipes !!!!!!
Beautiful this is first time I've heard him do this song He has been my favorite singer since early 60's Brought tears to my eyes I was lucky enough to hear him live a couple times
Wow! I’ve loved Roy’s singing for a long time. This was outstanding!
Wowwww ! Just Woww 😮
What a voice no one can singing like Roy the best in the world i love him❤❤❤❤
Sorry mate song not made to Orbison. He cant matc Elvis poverful versin.
Love this song👍🏻
The best version
What do you get when you take one of the most beautiful songs ever written and one of the most beautiful voices ever heard - A gift from God!
Saw him in NYC right before he passed. He was as brilliant then as ever. This is one of the greatest songs ever written, covered brilliantly, but Roy just absolutely nailed it!! He was so so good.
Did you see him at the Beacon Theater? If so, I was at that show, and he was insanely amazing and truly unforgettable.
He last note of this song is the best Roy ever sang.
This is an angels's voice🎤🎶💖💖💖
Holy Cow... I wasn't ready for how this affected me. The song, the singer and all that nostalgia colliding in my headphones. Wow.
This is a true gem.
what a great tribute to paul simon for roy to do this song he is a great artist too him and art started busking in London and the rest is history roy was a real gentleman none better
No conocía esta versión tan increíble.
Gracias!!!
I saw Roy 3 times in the mid-80s. Twice was at a place in DC called the Bayou. The club was in Georgetown. It held about 400 people. I was so close I could have touched Roy.
When I think of those two shows I start to tingle.
Harmonic brilliance and I was there.
I'm so glad Roy became a Wilbury and got to taste the admiration he deserved.
The big O as sensational as always! ❤
Theres an emotional pathos and genuine contact in his voice - he could never hide even if he ever wanted to.
Such a tragic life, so many awful losse. RIP.
Roy was the best !
I go over and over to the Big "O". He brings me relief.
it's simply....the best are gone people....the best.....hurts to listen to this,especially when u know these people put there hearts in this music.....rip Roy....Thanx for your music....I was in elementary school when it came over the intercom that he had passed away.....so sadddd
In Carl Perkins, Elvis and Roy - we had 3 amazing performers who gave us 100% every time. We the fortunate.
how many singers had an orchestra behind them instead if blaring whatever you want to call it this man is just pure class

@@Noname-ni1dy Art has auto tune now but Roy didnt have it.

Músicas lindas que infelizmente hoje não existem mais!
Roy is generally regarded as one of the best male singers ever, having said that, this is not one of his best performances, he doesn’t sing it as well as Art Garfunkle.
Fantastic singer and what an arrangement. An inspiring performance.
My favorite singer!!!
THE BEST FOREVER. ROY ORBISON. THE VOICE
Só beautiful 💙

wow..what a voice surely he is going down in history evergreen my favourite he is fab NOT WAS he still is..just fantastic...
This was broadcast in Australia in 1973, but performed on October 3rd, 1972 at Festival Hall in Melbourne :)
Yes, Roy was unique in his style and expression and feeling. Romance definitely lingers on …
the best singer that ever lived
@Truus Hogendoorn Both were amazingly gifted vocalist.
Oh my..
Never knew he covered this. Wow
Awesome, just awesome!
Merveilleux roy
Gràndes !!! Genios de la musica poesia y unicos en su voz y estilo !!!!
Would have been interesting to have heard him sing when a young man in his early teens.
That would have shown his potential at that age I’m sure.
Esses anos em que tivemos o quarteto millionário foi mesmo uma época de ouro para a música.
there all great song writers and great voices amazing what u find on my laptop
Impresionante.
Magistral.
Aunque debo decir que para mí la versión de Elvis es insuperable.
Thanks Roy for your music.
Legendary O, the one and only. Awesome!
Wow!
una belleza de tema,,,uno de los mejores temas de la música
One of the greatest oldies,
a rare clip indeed! ta!
Maravilhosa voz...
Quelle pureté dans sa voix superbe Merci Monsieur Roy Orbison !!!!!!
All that Roy did he did better than his precursors. His cover versions always have been done excellent
a great honour to paul simon also a great song writer
The Big O is a legend.
we all miss you Roy
nagyon gyönyörű hangja van Orbisonnak
