A MASTERPIECE YOU CAN DANCE TO! First Time Reaction To Roy Orbison - You Got It!

[@samueltabo3390]

This song was released posthumously in January 1989 , he died in December 1988, and it would be his first top 10 on the billboard singles chart in 25 years

[@nancy9891]

The Traveling Wilburys were in this song as well. That’s why it is so good. The Harrison acoustic sound and the backing vocals make this a Roy classic. BTW, after Elvis and Johnny Cash left Sun Records came Roy Orbison to Memphis and Sun Records!

[@michaelschroeck2254]

The crazy thing about this fact is the music video! I call it the original deep fake where they use footage of him to fabricate him singing this song live on stage.

[@michaelnorman3393]

Co-written, and produced, by Roy's Traveling Wilbury "brothers" Jeff Lynne, and Tom Petty, with backing vocals, guitar, and piano, from Jeff, Tom, and George Harrison. Love Roy!! ❤

[@charleskurtz9744]

Nice way to put that!

[@michaelnorman3393]

@@charleskurtz9744 Thank you Charles!

[@billmorris8358]

His voice gelled perfectly later in life when he teamed up with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne in the band The Travelling Wilburys. As a group they released some great songs

[@geraldjensen6831]

One of ther modst unique voices EVER,,,

[@stevenseul361]

Roy is one of the Legends. Look at the song "Cryin"

[@dazed-n-confused6439]

Elvis said he could not sing Roy's songs any better cause Roy had the perfect voice. "The Big O" is on my top 5 of greatest voices of all time!!

[@keithmassey3914]

And Elvis thought Roy had a chance to be more popular because he had a better voice.

[@dazed-n-confused6439]

"Only the Lonely (Know the Way I Feel)" next please. "not knowing what was wrong or what was right, I went on my own way. ... So the structure sometimes has the chorus at the end of the song, and sometimes there is no chorus, it just goes ... But that's always after the fact-as I'm writing, it all sounds natural and in sequence to me." - Roy Orbison

[@masungukafoa1454]

Roy Orbison Songs are so dreamy😊

[@frankscarborough1428]

I do love Roy Orbison. Crying is a great song by him

[@lizgray5750]

You need to listen to Black & White night - roy Orbison and so many more well known artists. The sun glasses were NOT SWAG!! He needed them

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

Roy had a 4/5 octave voice which is extremely rare.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

yes like Me

[@brianelza9807]

The 2 loud “bass” drum “boom-booms” in the chorus are actually tympanis… another orchestral feature. 😎

[@JohnKWelsh]

Also known as the kettle drum

[@RandoReport]

"I Drove All Night" was a demo recorded in the '80s. In 1991 or so, Jeff Lynne cleaned it up and it became a huge hit. Well worth a listen.

[@theodorehall322]

The Beatles were the opening act for Roy at one time.

[@HGWTPaladin]

Roy Orbison “The Caruso Of Rock” “The Big ‘O’ “

[@billydonaldson6483]

“In Dreams” is a great song that shows off his wonderful vocal range. He had poor eyesight and normally wore thick lenses in his glasses. He left them on a plane when he traveled to the UK to do a tour with the Beatles so he wore his sunglasses on stage because of the strong lights, it then became a feature of his act. He was a natural blonde but dyed his hair black as part of that image. Something that Engelbert Humperdinck (previously known as Gerry Dorsey) also did.

[@karlsmith2570]

5:29 "Look At This Album Cover Art, With The Slicked-Back Hair And The Cool Guy Shades" Hey, Sam, here's an interesting backstory on those "Cool Guy Shades": Early in his career, Roy Orbison played a gig where he'd misplaced his eyeglasses and was forced to use his prescription sunglasses during the show. Apparently, he'd gotten an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience and continued using his prescription sunglasses during concerts

[@PittSlovak]

Roy Orbison had such a tragic life, losing his wife and 2 sons in a house fire. After years of decline, his career made a comeback with the Traveling Wilburys only to have his life cut short by a heart attack.

[@chrisholland6052]

Another reactor did a vocal analysis of Roy's voice. Roy had the ability (no singing lessons), to go exactly to the note he wanted with no over or undershoot. Vocal control that is virtually unmatched to this day.

[@vincentsheriff832]

A long time back, Elvis said Roy was one of his favorite singers! And he didn't like very many, but he was a favorite! And they started out at the same Sun records!

[@alexhaas9653]

Such a good track. His voice and its range is amazing. Definitely one of the greatest singers in history in my opinion. So many great songs of his. Also as part of the Traveling Wilburys.

[@ChicagoDB]

The music and chorus have been used a zillion times in commercials and movies/tv.

[@karlsmith2570]

Hey, Phil and Sam, interesting fact for you about this Roy Orbison song: This song was a posthumous release that came out in January 1989, after Roy Orbison passed away in December of 1988. This song would later be covered by Bonnie Raitt as part of the soundtrack for the Drew Barrymore movie, "Boys On The Side"

[@GeorgetteHolloway-g4q]

You can't go wrong with Roy Orbison so many hits absolutely fantastical!!!!! My favourite is "In Dreams" also "Leah" "Crying" "Only the Lonely" and so many more, keep listening to this you will not disappointed.

[@RuchardTorres]

Elvis said that Roy Orbison had the greatest singing voice he ever heard.

[@joelliebler5690]

The Golden voice of Roy😢

[@mattschliemann9683]

One of my faves of his is Crying

[@larryunsworth9573]

Love watching you two interact without having to say a word! Big RO fan too.

[@betsyduane3461]

The song was released posthumously on January 3, 1989, after Orbison's death from a heart attack on December 6, 1988. The single reached number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, returning Orbison to the top 10 for the first time in 25 years. He released his first album in 10 years after the success of The Traveling Wilburys (British-American supergroup active from 1988 to 1991 consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty)

[@mikemiller3069]

Those sound like timpani during the chorus. That's why they have that reverberating sound that is different from a kick drum.

[@larrywright3132]

I believe so, too. Their heads are tunable to different notes and are used in orchestras and concert bands.

[@chaddubois8164]

Roy Orbison might have the greatest voice of all time. Listen to unchained melody with the royal philharmonic orchestra.

[@gretamckenzie4245]

Love this one... love the way it all comes together at the end.

[@EdithMaxim]

Probably the prettiest voices of all time. He had a lot of great songs. I saw him in concert here in Maine the same year he passed. He got a standing ovation after every song he sang.

[@billboyd9028]

Absolutely go to "The Traveling Wilbury's" and start with "My Guitar Gently Weeps".... absolutely....

[@GenXTexMom]

Yay! My favorite from Roy.

[@richardbetz5531]

You Got It is probably my favorite Orbison hit. The music he did before he died is arguably better than anything he had ever done before. There’s so many songs of his that deserve reactions. Crying, In Dreams, She’s a Mystery to Me, Only the Lonely, Running Scared, the list goes on and on. Glad to see Roy get more exposure from a younger audience. For the Traveling Wilburys, you can’t really go wrong with any of their music. End of the Line and Handle with Care are good starter points. Roy did a solo with the Wilburys called Not Alone Anymore that I strongly recommend.

[@davidmckenzie420]

This was a second career for Roy. Fellow musicians and admirers made it happen.

[@SJeffersonDavisIV]

Lots of things go into this song that make it great.. Musically after Roy's vocals I think the timpani hits are the 2nd most significant dynamic that makes this great.

[@josephburkhardt9648]

I I heard, someone asked Elvis what was it like to be the best singer. He said I don't know ask Roy Orbison.

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

This track was in collaboration with the Travelling Wilburys of which he was a member.

[@dewman0269]

How many times I remember my friends and I were in our neighborhood bar singing this after a few too many beers...we loved this song...Roy had a beautiful tenor voice which served him well all his life...after his death his wife was in an interview talking about Roy and she said that his falsetto voice was deafening...he had so much power in his voice... He left a big hole in the music industry and in our lives when he died... We will be missed... Good reaction guys...Keep Being Awesome !!!...

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

There’s a version of a live Roy Orbison concert out there with a stellar set of musicians on stage to pay their respects to him. Some of the people he sings with are A list musicians in their own right. Look it out.

[@michaellockhart554]

It's called Roy Orbison And Friends A Black And White Night Backing by The TCB Band Elvis Costello, Bonnie Rait, Jenifer Warnes, Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, KD Lang, JD Souther and others

[@RoGueNavy]

You should hear his cover of Cyndi Lauper's "I Drove All Night". She recorded it, and I really thought it was a Roy Orbison original. Both versions are amazing!

[@John_Locke_108]

It was written for Roy and he recorded it first but it was released after his death.

[@bonnielee78]

Cyndi's version is my fave (one of my fave songs of all time) but I love Roys too. I've never really liked Celine's version though; even though I love Celine.

This could be considered the first Traveling Wilburys song. It was recorded several months before the WIlburys were formed. The background vocalists here are Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison. They're also playing instruments. For some reason, Harrison is uncredited, but he's here.

[@FreeDonaldTrump1]

My father started getting into Roy Orbison music towards the end of his life which kind of surprised me. I guess our parents occasionally surprise us from what we think we know about it.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Oh man, there's no other voice quite like Roy's. I'm a classic rock guy, but have always been a fan of him & his music. Really came to enjoy his older stuff when he was in the "Traveling Wilburys". (There's a live performance of this that is spectacular. The audience brings a smile to him that says it all😊)

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Roy Orbison had a tough life. His first wife cheated on him, which is when I think the song "Its Over" came out, then they got back together. Then they were riding motorcycles together and a car hit her, killing her. Later 2 of his 3 children were killed in a house fire. I have been a fan of his from the get go. Do more of him. Loved so many of his songs, they still get me.

[@jgreg9659]

"Indian Summer" with Roy and Barry Gibb and the Gatlin Brothers

[@HGWTPaladin]

The Big O accidentally developed his sunglasses image while on a U.K. tour with the Beatles in 1963. “He had left his regular glasses on a plane, right before the tour," Roy Jr. Stated : "He had the dark glasses with him and decided to keep wearing them. DAD WASN’T ABLE TO SEE WITHOUT GLASSES. When he got off the plane in England, people were taking pictures and that's what they saw, Dad with the dark glasses."

Roy Orbison was known as the "Caruso" of rock n' roll. Enrique Caruso was a famous opera singer from the '30s.

This song was featured in the film Riding in Cars with Boys. A female vocalist, Bonnie Raitt, does it and sings it much slower. Her version will bring a tear to your eyes.

Another one of Sam Phillips’ discoveries!!!

[@victoriaswan9041]

This song is not a remake, it was a collaboration between Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and Orbison The Album Mystery Girl was released after the man passed. He was making a huge comeback with the Traveling Wilbury's. I was heartbroken.

[@heathmcinerney4995]

I suggest you also do "In Dreams" by Roy. Also he does the lead vocal for "You're Not Alone Anymore" from the Traveling Wilburys. Both awesome tracks.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Two other songs from thie album this is from, you two would love are Windsurfer and California Blue. An older song In Dreams is great also and David lynch used it in a bizarre way in the movie Blue Velvet.

[@manofconstantsorrow]

You gotta check Traveling Wilburys.

[@royferguson2297]

Was on Travelling Wilbury's Album.

[@GeorgetteHolloway-g4q]

If you haven't listened to Travelling Wilburys, Roy was in that group as well as Tom Petty, Jeff Lyn (ELO) George Harrison (Beatle) Bob Dylan

[@craigreid7178]

Another great one by him is "In Dreams"

You have to check out Roy's 1987 Black & White Night concert. The concert has been shown over the years on PBS television. A great collection of musical artists accompanying Roy such as Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, JD Souther, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer Warnes. Roy is in great form and plays all his greatest hits. The opening song "Only The Lonely" is a favorite of mine but the whole show is amazing. Here's the link to the show including alternate cuts.

Amazing voice. You guys should cover Jim Reeves....another amazing voice......known as the 'Velvet Voice'

[@dennisquinn8558]

I don't believe this song (his last hit, recorded in 1988) is any more awesome than his 60's hits - say Pretty Woman, recorded in 1964. But sounds so good because it was recorded 24 years later, and technology had long advanced. To my ear, the biggest recording advances occurred much earlier, between 63 and 68. The Beatles recordings, who were able to use the best studio equipment of their times, best showcase these advances.
