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 ".
Hi K. S. K The best quote I heard anyone say about Roy's vocals was Bono's (U2 Lead Singer) "Roy couldn't just sing about broken hearts, He could sing them Broken-Heartedly" which sums it up brilliantly All the Best Jim, Surrey, UK
KSK. : Have you ever heard, this song by Dolly Parton: "Me and Little Andy" There was no dry tear in that audience, that night,men included , felt the same way. I heard this song all my life, I was heartbroken, I held on to my dog Joey all night!
That, Dana, is one of my favorite lines from one singer to another. One of my other favorites is when Smokey Robinson said that after listening to Otis Redding sing, all he wanted was for Otis to have whatever he was crying for.
I can't figure out how people that love music have never heard of the great artists of yesterday. I knew of singers that were born way before I was born.
Elvis was once asked in an interview what it was like to be the best singer in rock n roll? His answer was that they should ask Roy Orbison. Roy's voice was heartbreakingly beautiful.
I’m so lucky I got the privilege of seeing him in concert the year he passed away. Normally you can still hear a little chatter at concerts. Not with Roy. You could’ve heard a pin drop as we all sat there mesmerized by the master. Absolute goosebumps for the entire show. The man was a true legend.
Roy was one of our generations greatest singers! I am from the "Baby Boomer Generation. Roy suffered with many many heartbreaks, however none of them had to do with this type of heartache!
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.
...and he starred in a Columbo episode where he faked a plane crash, then he died in that other for real fateful plane crash along with some other music geniuses. Wierd
"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. New subscriber here, and I enjoyed your reaction, keep it up!
The Travelling Wilburys were such an amazing bookend to his life and singing career. Where else did he belong but amongst the panthon of the greatest that have ever been? They actually introduced him to me and, yeah, I went down that rabbit hole. Amazing stuff. Before my time, but sooo good.
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! God's Peace be with you and all here! ✌️
Roys first wife died in a motorcycle crash while they were out riding together. She got hit by a car. Later after that two of his sons died in a house fire. Oh yes, Roy knew how to cry - and why.
wow WHERE YOU BEEN? nobody I mean NOBODY had this guys voice! The first time I heard Big O I was memorized back in the day. Tremendous range and vibrato.. you know it!
One thing you don't get from just the vocal of the song is how Roy hit those powerful and those high notes just standing with his guitar at the mic and never showed any effort at all and rarely changed expression.
He wasn't a look at me guy. Meek and passionate man. Brought up poor in west Texas towns of Wink and Vernon just very small towns. But he never gave up. He self taught himself to write and cowrite wonder songs with an amazing voice and emotion. I just love to hear him sing. Running scared was a great song with similar feelings.
Thanks for playing this, Simone. I liked your comments and I am a little surprised that you have not heard this classic before. 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 RUclips.
As an old guy, it's been a joy to go to several channels like yours to watch young people become acquainted with Roy Orbison and see you immediately express the same emotions some of us have carried for decades in listening this man.
This song is about a chance meeting between him and someone he knew and misses. He wasn't prepared for it and it stirred up memories which left him crying.
Roy Orbison was singing at Sun Records at about the same time as Elvis. He has one of the greatest voices in rock music history. A true legend. He had so many great songs.
I was just going to mention Roy's time at Sun in Memphis along with several other Greats! Proud that my hometown is the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock & Roll.
It was so genuine watching your reaction to the great Roy Orbison. Crying was released in 1961. I was 12 years old and my older sisters played it over and over. When I grew up, I felt like you do now. I just wanted to hug him and protect him. Roy Oribison is legendary. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Saw him in concert in the late 70s. Hour and 45 minutes. After the show my friend turned to me and said "You realize every single song he sang tonight was a top 10 hit"
Your reaction at the end of the song made me hit subscribe immediately 😂 Can’t wait to watch more of your videos! And yes, that girl was trifling hurting poor Roy like that lol
in the song they just met at maybe a party after they had previously broken up and just said hello and shook hands but to him it affected him more than just a simple handshake
Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and yes, Elvis Presley all recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis TN. They gotten together, recorded, and we're nicknamed "The Million Dollar Quartet."
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.
They might have been at a social setting ,at the same time . Unaware that the other was there also. In order to not create a scene , they simply said hello and moved on. Roy Orbison sang many great songs, and had a great voice with a four- octave range. A Great singer.
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.
This sounds like the very early version of this. He really perfected that soulful, hurt vocal of the song. If you get a chance, listen to a later version also. And listen to kd lang version. She really is one of the most underrated vocalists of my generation. Her voice is bigger than life and just perfect. And also listen to kd lang/Roy Orbison duet version. That’s just perfection in a duet.
Roy had so much tragedy in his life. His wife died in front of him after an auto accident and his two children died in a house fire while he was touring. Check out the version of this song with Roy and KD Lang shortly before he passed away.
Late 1950's to late 1960's when Music could be Romantic. Smoky Robinson, the Supremes, Righteous Brothers, Al Green, so many more who sang of Love; music of my youth.
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..."
He was absolutely amazing live. I feel lucky to have seen him.Sadly he was in his 50's.He had so many tragedies in his life. He sings from his own heart.
Nobody could sing a broken heart better than Roy (who was a contemporary of Elvis). Oh, and if you don't want your heart to break, listen to "Running Scared" or "Oh, Pretty Woman".
I really love how protective you got over Roy. He had such a gift for making his audiences feel the raw emotions through the power of his voice. I've always said it's the closest you'll get to hearing a ghost singing.
She was telling him life doesn't stop, life continues and he will find someone who truly loves him. If we all gave up the first time we are rejected, in any walk of life, in anything we do, we might as well give up. Keep your chin up and go on, and anything is possible, in anything you do, that's the moral to the song.
But she should've just stayed away. The no contact rule. Until both are at a place of acceptance at least the breakee....She just feels bad he felt bad but inturn just making it worst.🙄
@@TheMaverick-zo5kv And, what if one of them can't get over it? Without understanding why just look at someone who was bullied at school, it can last a lifetime. That's the allegory to the song, you don't always get an explanation of what went wrong, and it doesn't mean it's your fault, but life carries on. But, you're implying, just avoid the situation, that is not always that easy, is it? Sometimes the best thing to do, speak the truth and resolve it as soon as possible, it can seem like the end of the world to some people. who can't just brush things off?
@@peterthompson6651 it's not avoiding the situation because I'm sure this is not the first time they broke up. By her coming back to him again she is just confusing him and making him feel like maybe just maybe I have another chance. The lyrics said it clearly..." I thought I was over you" He just needs to regrow his pair of balls and move on indefinitely....or who knows much later down the line they will be together again but now in a different and understanding way.
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!
I started listening to Orbison songs in the early 60's as a young teen. Didn't realize how great each song was until I was much older. Simone - If you liked this song listen to "Running Scared". You don't know the how the story ends until the very last word in the song. My favorite.
She didn’t do it deliberately. She just passed him on the street said hello shook his hand and said goodbye. As he said in the song she couldn’t tell he’d been crying. He thought he was over her but running into her again let him know he never would be.
I remember this song very well, when it came out on the 60s I had just lost a special girlfriend and the song fit my situation so well, after all these years I still hurt for that young lady and every time I hear this song it comes back
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.
No she didn’t come to see him, they bumped into each other someplace and tried to make the best of it, but he had some trouble with dealing with it!!!!! That’s the inspiration for the song!!!
I was surfing RUclips, of which I am an ardent fan, when I came upon this (Simone's) channel. I admit I decided to watch it because I thought the female narrator was Beautiful ! I enjoyed Simone as much as I did Orbison's music. I am now a proud subscriber to the Simply K. Simone channel. Her soul is as beautiful as she is attractive. ❤️
Big O was the man. This song is from the early 60s. I know what it feels like to think you're over someone and thrn to meet up with them again and fall to pieces.

Remember this incredible artist and beautiful man was blind. ❤️
@@ImKat46 Roy did have a driver's license.
All of us who grew up hearing his songs are crying now cause he s GONE.
Nobody has ever sung about grief and broken hearts the way Roy Orbison did.
Because he lived it .

Roy Orbison one of the best voices ever!

A voice that will never disappear. You will live on until eternity. There is only one Roy Orbison.
Roy was one of our generations greatest singers! I am from the "Baby Boomer Generation. Roy suffered with many many heartbreaks, however none of them had to do with this type of heartache!
Elvis said Roy was his biggest competition. So you were right on the money.
Ok cool
One of the greatest voices of all time , the man could sing , unlike the so called singers we have nowadays !!

I've said this before. Roy Orbison could make the devil cry.
He suffered a number of truly great losses and tragedies in his life.
This man knew what a heartache truly was .
Simply, I subscribed after you touched my heart with your sympathy for Roy.
Roys first wife died in a motorcycle crash while they were out riding together. She got hit by a car. Later after that two of his sons died in a house fire.
Oh yes, Roy knew how to cry - and why.

I took that personal
@@SimplyKSimone He had a hard time in school due to his thick glasses and pale skin . He was a wonderful human . Very down to earth . Christian man .
One thing you don't get from just the vocal of the song is how Roy hit those powerful and those high notes just standing with his guitar at the mic and never showed any effort at all and rarely changed expression.
Darn it I Gotta go to the video, at the beginning most something on this song!
He wasn't a look at me guy. Meek and passionate man. Brought up poor in west Texas towns of Wink and Vernon just very small towns. But he never gave up. He self taught himself to write and cowrite wonder songs with an amazing voice and emotion. I just love to hear him sing. Running scared was a great song with similar feelings.
I can tell that

Awww thank u
Roy was the man...! There will never be another...
May he rest in peace
🙏🙏
I saw Roy live twice, two of the best concerts ever.
This song is about a chance meeting between him and someone he knew and misses. He wasn't prepared for it and it stirred up memories which left him crying.
Yess
Lots of artists copied Roy, but he was one of a kind. Some folks were shocked to find those high notes were full voice.
You mean "tried", because nobody can sing like Roy Orbison
Orbison's voice never failed. Even at the end.
I love you darling! Protecting poor Roy! We’ve all broken our hearts. Thank you for being you!
I honestly did take it personal lol merry Christmas
2:30 Roy came out of Sun Records along with Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Charlie Rich.

Yep. The only other singer that comes close to him was Steve Perry. This is outside operatic tenors of course. I'm talking crossover singers here.

Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and yes, Elvis Presley all recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis TN. They gotten together, recorded, and we're nicknamed "The Million Dollar Quartet."
Wow. Really awesome
Probably out in the mid 60s. Elvis and Roy were good friends. Elvis said Roy had the greatest voice he ever heard. Best success on yr channel.
Aww thx mark

Yesssss
Roy also had plenty of sadness in real life: his wife was killed in a motorcycle accident and two sons died in a house fire just two years later.
Omg nooo
She actually died in his arms. Really tragic. He met his last wife shortly before his sons died which helped overcome those horrible tragedies.
@@emmabauer1906 He also had divorced said wife and they had recently gotten back together /
and if you learn about his life, you will see where he found the inspiration for these songs - crying, in dreams... and so on
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.
I liked your reaction. Taking up for Roy LOL
This sounds like the very early version of this. He really perfected that soulful, hurt vocal of the song. If you get a chance, listen to a later version also. And listen to kd lang version. She really is one of the most underrated vocalists of my generation. Her voice is bigger than life and just perfect. And also listen to kd lang/Roy Orbison duet version. That’s just perfection in a duet.
Just to say, I have to agree with all that you commented....
I was lucky enough to see KD when she first released Crying at a small venue theater in Rhode Island . Terrific show .
Roy had so much tragedy in his life. His wife died in front of him after an auto accident and his two children died in a house fire while he was touring. Check out the version of this song with Roy and KD Lang shortly before he passed away.
Love that song from the past and Roy Orbison had such a great voice.

From another Stephanie,let me request Roy Orbison,Pretty Woman.
Ok will do
Orbisons voice was Magical!! Nothing to do w Elvis. , who had no falsetto !
Roy is an American Icon
This song was early 60's
HUGE HIT!! KD LANG does a good cover. His verbratto is fantastic. He had huge hits. Elvis loved him.
My favorite is their duet.
He was absolutely amazing live. I feel lucky to have seen him.Sadly he was in his 50's.He had so many tragedies in his life. He sings from his own heart.
He hits these great high notes while barely opening his mouth! 😂 Really one of the greatest.
Yesss like omg 😱 how
Nobody could sing a broken heart better than Roy (who was a contemporary of Elvis).
Oh, and if you don't want your heart to break, listen to "Running Scared" or "Oh, Pretty Woman".
Hard to believe no one has suggested "Pretty Woman" truly one of Orbison's best.
Oh they have I’m posting it tomorrow

Cool I just did a Queen Reaction today
He was better than Queen.
@@julianmarsh1378 Depends entirely what you're after.
@@rayjennings3637 You are correct. These calls are always judgemental and therefore, subjective. To me, Orbison rules.
Elvis's favorite singer. Roy also sings this song with k d lang. Look it up.
Will do
He was elvis favorite singer of that time
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!
I definitely have more coming
Roy is great. Thank You
Your welcome
I started listening to Orbison songs in the early 60's as a young teen. Didn't realize how great each song was until I was much older.
Simone - If you liked this song listen to "Running Scared". You don't know the how the story ends until the very last word in the song. My favorite.
Yes it’s coming this week
Elvis considered Roy Orbison as the most perfect voice in music
She didn’t do it deliberately. She just passed him on the street said hello shook his hand and said goodbye. As he said in the song she couldn’t tell he’d been crying. He thought he was over her but running into her again let him know he never would be.
I think she did but ok lol
One of the greatest singers of all time. Pretty Woman I think its his signature song❤✌
I like the quote where someone asked Elvis what it was like to be the greatest singer
Elvis said no idea, you'll have to ask Roy
Has to be one of the most beautiful voices ever!!
Yess
Good luck with your channel! Thanks for the reaction 😊
I remember this song very well, when it came out on the 60s I had just lost a special girlfriend and the song fit my situation so well, after all these years I still hurt for that young lady and every time I hear this song it comes back
That was a cute reaction!🤗🐝❤️
Thank you

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.
Hi Brian !! Can I ask you a question how sis Roy pass away ?
It's a song! Who hasn't felt it in their life? Bless you.
No she didn’t come to see him, they bumped into each other someplace and tried to make the best of it, but he had some trouble with dealing with it!!!!!
That’s the inspiration for the song!!!
I was surfing RUclips, of which I am an ardent fan, when I came upon this (Simone's) channel. I admit I decided to watch it because I thought the female narrator was Beautiful ! I enjoyed Simone as much as I did Orbison's music. I am now a proud subscriber to the Simply K. Simone channel. Her soul is as beautiful as she is attractive. ❤️
Awww Thank you !! And welcome to the channel
Glad that Roy O has been rediscovered by a new Generation. Check out his catalog. If you liked CRYIN, you'll like his other hits as well.

Big O was the man. This song is from the early 60s. I know what it feels like to think you're over someone and thrn to meet up with them again and fall to pieces.
Me too I think that’s why I got protective
I have one word that describes Roy Orbison's voice. Ghostly.
K. Simone. I hooked my peeps up to your channel. You are truly sincere🤘❤️
His voice was like wonderful melted chocolate in your mouth……Any gal born from 1955 on will adore him ty😎🤗
This song always makes me cry… nice to listen to it with u.
