FIRST TIME HEARING ROY ORBISON - BLUE ANGEL! REACTION

[@susancorwin8734]

I love the sound of music on vinyl records! That's what I grew up listening to. Me and my friends had stacks of 45's that we played on record players with one speaker. Love his voice and love the song! Everyone sang sha la la and sha na na back then for backup vocals! Lol!!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I remember having a record player at the royal oak house and listening to michael jackson on it when I was real young.

[@MamaBe1963]

Still have my 45s. I'm 75!

[@johngiovine8792]

I was graced to see Roy Orbison live in concert in 1986 here in Seattle, he was absolutely amazing!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

lucky you!

[@paulafowler5099]

If a man wants to inspire some romance in the home....put on some Orbison and grab your girl in the kitchen and just start dancing. At 71, I still put it on and dance around my living room. I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the best music era of all time.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

Gentlemen ! -------------This is a 60's Classic---------Fall, of '61, I was 15 y/o, a HS Sophomore in Denver, at South High School. I LOVED this song !! Never ever, tired of it .--------MJL, 77 y/o

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheChitown5]

Its not just about the vocal range but about how he expresses himself in the song, the empathy and soul. You can feel the pain. People get turned off because of the simplicity and directness of the records from that time. The 50's era music spoke more directly to men than women for the most part which is not happening today.

[@edithmaxim2041]

Roy had the most beautiful voice of all time.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I would give Bjork that title... but love your passion and love his voice on this.

[@darthtrip7188]

I agree 100%. Roy Orbison is the G.O.A.T. in terms of vocals/singing/singing ability. Bjork is great, btw..but Roy Orbison is the greatest.

[@paulcook1915]

While Roy started recording in 1956, his biggest hits were in the early-mid 60’s. He continued performing until he died. Had a major song released a month after he died and prior to that was one of the greats of Rock ‘n Roll in the band the ‘Travelling Wilburys’.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Could never get into You Got It.. sounds like a Tom Petty throwaway.. which is fine.. I like tom petty but if he had recorded this no one would care. it only is special cause it's tied to roy's passing. Without that context it's very generic and forgettable IMO.

[@paulcook1915]

@@THEDEEPDIVE Intesting you mentioned Tom Petty as Tom and Roy were members of Rock ‘N Roll ‘royalty’ in the band the ‘Travelling Wilburys’, which also included George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

James hadn't heard blue angel yet! He likes Roy now. :)

[@11nytram11]

Elvis reportedly said that Roy Orbison had the most perfect voice and was the best singer in the world. As an interesting bit of trivia, the song that made the Big O a superstar - Only The Lonely - was orginally meant for Elvis.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I think he tried to sell Blue angel to Elvis too.

Classic singing the likes of which we'll not ever hear, again.--------------i was in 10th grade when this came out.

[@GayJayU26]

I remember this when it came out and I recorded it on a reel to reel tape recorder.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

oh this is interesting! You recorded it off the radio on a reel to reel? with a microphone? tell me about it.

[@GayJayU26]

@@THEDEEPDIVE sadly I used to take the back of my radio and connect two wires to the direct speaker output and a five din plugged into my tape recorder. I was about 12 at the time. The result was pretty good quality. Most people did record with a microphone and the result was very poor quality, but I have always been a bit of a tech nerd.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

@@GayJayU26 That is so badass! love it.

[@joaquiegea1243]

I totally love Roy Orbison ❤

[@Ozone280]

The difference between most other singers and Roy Orbison was that most other singers sang the song, Roy lived it.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I know of some of his family tragedies (death of wife, sons, etc).. but from my research it seems that happened after he made a lot of these songs..

[@Ozone280]

@@THEDEEPDIVE That's true, what I meant was that Roy put so much emotion into his songs, he literally "lived" them while he was singing them. Another singer who had this rare ability was Teresa Teng, and she was much more attractive than Roy! For me, the two of them were the best there's ever been, anywhere, in the whole of today.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

@@Ozone280 Oh I see.. got it. Yeah he made you believe it for sure.

[@39thala]

I've never this one by Roy before. Love it!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

It's fantastic.

[@j20tower]

Anything Roy Orbison is greatness and this is no exception. How about “Pretty Woman” and Only the Lonely”. There’s one version of Pretty Woman it black and white where he’s sing with a bunch of Rock and Roll stars. It’s really good. The old music is the real music. Thx

[@mangrove]

The Big O and The King were good friends. Roy once talked about how they used to hang out playing and listening to music and drink Cokes. One of my biggest regrets is not begging my parents to take me with them to see Roy in 1986.

[@Johnadams20760]

roy's voice is probably the greatest ture vocal voice in anything rock related ever. the vibrato, th epitch, the range, and power in his voice, and if you watch him sing all this stuff, he literally looks like he is isn't even trying. normally when you see singers hit certain notes, power levels, range, etc.. they look on their faces like they are straining to get there. with roy. it is so natural. he is on another level weather one liles an actaul song or not, his voice can not be denied. he could have been a very good barritone/tenor opera singer with that voice.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Great comment! We also did Crying.. cohost didn't like it at first but by the end he was all in.

[@Johnadams20760]

@@THEDEEPDIVE i went and watched that as well and i noticed that, although he did at least seem to admire the amazing abilitites, just seemed he didn't care for the actaul songs themselves. so i respect that for sure. i am curious, have you guys ever done anything classical like mozart or bach or beethoven or anything. that could be an interesting thing to see what the reactions are as well :) i appreciate the work you do

Great song great singer

[@CommandGrabEnthusiast]

When it comes to Roy's lowest note he's ever sang, from what I've heard the lowest note he sings is in a song called "Going Back to Gloria". I love Roy's MGM era music and many fans of his don't seem to give those years of music enough attention.

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I'm not familiar with that song. I'll check it out. Thanks!!! - Justin

[@katr8756]

Sexy is exactly what I thought when I first heard Roy's deep baritone!! It was just awesome!! And sexy beyond belief!!

[@Polyphemus47]

This one is my personal fave by Roy, but having collected everything I could find by him, since the early '60s, it doesn't lead by much. Aside from his incredible voice, he was a master of melody. 45s have been my true passion since 78s were discontinued - my living room is lined with them. I know it's two years later, but if you check in here, I must insist you listen to the MGM version of one of his lesser known 45 entries: "Heartache", from the '70s. Oh, and his "Wild Hearts Run Out of Time" from 1984 (not released on a single here), made me fall in love with him all over again, 20 years later.

[@PapaFixit]

This song was written for making out in the back seat of a 57 chevy...shoo-in do...WA WA WA wa...

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

I can picture it.

[@Ozone280]

And for information's sake, this particular cover was re-recorded by Roy in 1972!

[@Luxsky]

No, he re-recorded it in 1986, not 1972. This version is 1960 - the single version differs from the album cut.

[@Ozone280]

@@Luxsky No, sorry, I beg to differ. I got the year wrong though, this version first appeared on his Greatest Hits double album in 1974, as did the previously unused version of In Dreams. It cannot be the 1986 version as I thought that album was one of his worst and I never bought it, therefore I couldn't have it in my collection - which I do. There are several differences between this version and the 1960 version. 4.26 when he sings "Have no fear I'll..." is different to the 1960 version. 4.33 on the 1974 version he breaks midway through the "Yey" note, in the 1960 version he carried the note right through. And there are a few more differences. Both versions are still masterpieces though!

[@Luxsky]

@@Ozone280 Hi Michael. We may be talking at cross purposes, so just to clarify. The version is not a 1970’s re-recording. There are alternative takes from the original session, which may have been released at different times, subsequent to 1960, but the only available re-recording is the 1986 version. Roy did not cut a new version in the 70s that has ever been released. Maybe you mean issue date, rather than recording date. I would need to check this version against the one held on the Lonely and Blue album, which to my memory differs from the single release. I agree it’s a great record, and I agree that the ‘86 version is poor. Those ‘86 recordings were inferior to Roy’s live performances from that period of his life - he could have done so much better, although he should not have recut them, in my view. Those Monument recordings are unbeatable.

[@Ozone280]

@@Luxsky In my opinion Roy should have reworked his old hits in 1986 instead of trying to duplicate them. When you see what was done with Crying with kd lang, we could have added some more gems to our collections.

[@Luxsky]

@@Ozone280 Yes, great point. There is a piano-led version of In Dreams, which is reckoned to be from the 80s (different from Halt and Virgin versions) - it is simply beautiful.

I grew up in the 50's and to me there is no comparison of Roy Orbison to Elvis..I wasn't a huge Elvis fan, I loved his singing in the early 50's , I didnt care for his songs later on when he started doing Vegas etc. And as far as the remark about Roy Orbison ? I think that was totally adolescent..
