    A phenomenal talent. She actually performed this song with Roy a number of times and thankfully there are recorded versions. This version was in tribute after he passed. Remarkable. Btw its incredible to get a standing ovation but even more rare to get a mid song ovation.

      Not to take anything away from Orbison -- who I think is legendary and one of the greatest artists ever -- but from the very first note, k.d. brought an emotionality to it that, in my opinion, surpassed Roy's. I could imagine her meeting her ex, as she sang, and the heartbreak of each word. For me, although her power notes are impressive, it's the subtler ones that really get me, down in the gut.

    Back in the early mid 80's, I went to a car show here in San Antonio, and there was going to be some musical entertainment. I went for the cars, so I really didn't know who was going to sing. They announcer that Roy Orbison was about to perform. It was a small platform of a stage, and we were several feet away. Roy came out and performed all his hits, and it was an amazing show. Then when he left the stage, on came Johnny Rivers and sang all his hits. Both singers were amazing I we got to see them both for the price of a ticket to a car show. His career was at a low point and he was doing car show to pay the bills. Little did he know that a few years later he would get together with George Harrison and form The Traveling Wilburys, then release a new album, and his career would be at an all time high. Thank you God for helping Roy get back to the top before his passing. RIP Roy.

    KD’s recording of this song (a duet with Roy) is truly amazing, their voices compliment each other perfectly.
    Roy’s final studio album (Mystery Girl) is nothing short of perfection, it’s quite possibly his best ever work. I bought the CD when it was first released, and immediately I was transported to a higher level of Orbison bliss.
    You could do a lot worse than reacting to that entire album Harri.
    One of my favourite songs on the record is “A Love So Beautiful” , Roy’s voice is surely at the peak of its power. A very short while later Roy died suddenly, just as his career was skyrocketing again. So sad, no justice for a singing genius.
    RIP “The Big O”. 🙏🏻

    I've followed Roy Orbison's music, his career and how his life panned out from the early '60s until now and I never tire of his music, voice and believe he had one of the greatest and most unique voices ever heard. His private life was one of endless tragedies, The TWO best versions of 'Crying' I`ve heard is the one he duets with KDLang at her absolute best (they also appeared on TOTP in 1988 again singing it). The OTHER best version was when he sang it on the 'Black & White Night' recording. When he sung live, it was as if he was in the recording studio because there were NEVER any faults or blemishes. When musicians of the calibre of Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello signed to be part of the backing for the B & W Nights performance, they literally pulled the arm off their respective agents to get the placing, Orbison being held in such high regard. When Elvis Presley was complemented on his voice when appearing at Las Vegas in the late '60s and mid '70s he told the group 'you should hear the guy singing at The Sands if you think I'm good, The 'guy' was of course Roy Orbison!

    KD Langs 'Hallelujah' and cover of Neil Youngs 'Helpless' at the 2005 Juno Awards are my favorite performances of hers.

    When I was young I worked at Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto and got to carry Roy Orbisons bags to his room. He was really nice to everyone and looked just like on stage after getting off a plane!
