[@JoélW608]

The world lost one of the smoothest voices ever! "Crying" will blow your mind...

[@RichardDickson-to7zg]

When you can get Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, kd lang etc to sing backup and harmony, backed by a world class band, it must be heartwarming. To have that caliber of talent there just to acknowledge the inspiration and joy you've provided them and the rest of the world for that matter over the years must be an honor that very few receive.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

There are more videos from this show online as well as the entire concert. Just search on KZbin "Roy Orbison black and white night".

[@bwilson5401]

​@JeffGesEven The Beatles backed Him.Elvis said he had the best R&R voice ever.How many accolades do u need.

[@js3599]

@JeffGes I think bwilson5401 is referring to the fact that the Beatles used to open for Roy... Once they got more popular, Roy agreed to share the top billing, and to let them close the show... I once heard a story where a European crowd wouldn't let Roy leave the stage after a performance, leaving the Beetles to sit and wait for their turn... After 4-5 encore songs, two of the Beetles, I believe it was John and Paul, took Roy by each arm and (Jokingly) said "Yankee, Go Home"... The crowd was solidly for Roy, but the Beetles did just fine when they got to the stage, regardless...

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

This was an amazing concert ... so much star power on the stage, and they all graciously took a back seat to the legendary Roy Orbison.

[@ChuckRagland]

You need to hear CLASSIC Roy Orbison!! Crying, Running Scared, and it's Over the original studio versions! You will be blown away!!

[@SarahDengler]

Thank you 😊 surely will

[@1953jazzman]

What a joy it is to watch someone encounter Roy Orbison for the first time!

[@garyarnett1220]

Early 60's reporter aske Elvis what it was like having the greatest voice in the business. He answered "I don't know, ask Roy".

[@DanoSeer]

Roy had a hauntingly beautiful voice. Crushing heartfelt songs. I grew up hearing this on the radio. "Dreams" is another classic.

[@jameswargo6762]

He is one of the all time greats👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🎁🎁

[@stangovers7441]

Sarah, you just witnessed and heard arguably the greatest voice in rock! This had to be one of the most amazing performances ever! The star power on that stage is eye opening! Love your reaction!!

[@SarahDengler]

Thank you ☺️

[@pamagnolia]

My God! Roy had such a gorgeous voice. Great range!! 😅

[@SarahDengler]

Right?!

[@craigreid7178]

Roy is someone who will always be in my heart. His songs occupy a warm place in my heart and each one brings back memories for me. He is a big part of the soundtrack of my life.

[@danevans5823]

Your fun to watch.Lots of stars in this show.You should watch it all

[@sonsofthunder915]

He had the best voice in R'NR (IMO) RIP Roy. He had close to three octaves in his singing vocals.

[@livelaughandlovelong]

You outdid yourself on this one Sarah! Lol. Backup superstar singers galore. Ha ha

😅

[@paulnelson5713]

You are now listening to the greatest voice of all time ❤❤❤❤ The big O

[@boisedude6848]

6 Years ago, my dog and I travelled the country from the west coast. I decided to visit Sun Records in Memphis, largely because I had been a big Elvis fan. At the studio, I was overcome by records of Roy Orbison made at that small studio. I stood on the wood floor, marked by an "X" where he had stood while recording, while his songs were played over the crowd. Such a warm, heartfelt moment of greatness. If you love great music, make sure you visit. Much better than Graceland.

[@johngiovine8792]

I had the great honor to see Roy Orbison in concert in 1986, he was simply amazing!

[@judithdize]

This is the music that was woven into the teen-age years of my life. Thank you dear Sarah for all the joy you've brought to me from this channel!

[@romysan1]

Yep ! Roy Orbison , one of the best . black and white nights ...a great concert. RIP ROY !!!

[@davids.reynolds4883]

I remember this song on the radio when I was a kid. Timeless!

[@LindsayWilson-vj1wc]

One of the greatest concert videos. The fun games is naming audience members

[@dagmar.6954]

Roy Orbison had one of the most smooth powerful voices. He could sing real high falsetto & also low. Elvis Presley loved Roy's voice. Roy was known for performing while standing motionless & wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair & dark sunglasses. Roy had lots of hits in the 60's such as "Running Scared", "Crying", "In Dreams", "Love Hurts", "Blue Bayou", "Leah" etc. In 1988, he co-founded the rock supergroup "Traveling Wilburys" with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, & Jeff Lynne.

[@carolhayar3037]

Roy Orbison had some tragedies in his life -- he had 3 children, the 2 older boys died in a house fire in 1968 when his home in Tennessee burned down. His first wife, Claudette, died after a motorcycle accident in 1966 @ age of 25. You should try to watch that entire Black & White Night video -- it is truly fantastic -- the full title is "Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night" --- some of the artists on stage with him were Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, & musicians of Elvis fame were James Burton, Glen Hardin & Jerry Scheff.

[@clintkelly9926]

Sarah, for claiming to be speechless, I thought you said a lot. So much so, you had to experience it twice and even then I felt you had more to say but, your emotions, understandably, overpowered your control of speech, and left all on your sleeve. You had this old man joyfully weeping with you!! Thank you, Sarah for this and all your other honest reactions.

[@mikematusek4233]

I remember when this was used for PBS fundraising. The female backers were Bonnie Raitt, K.D. Lang and I think Jennifer Warren. Tom Petty, Jackson Brown, Elvis Costelo, The Boss and Other were there.

[@jameswalling8395]

This came out in 1961. He's singing in this in 1985.

[@chopa2less]

From one of the best DVDs that I own.

[@tom7471]

Roy was one of the greatest voices of all time. And the list of his friends on this evening were a who's who in rock music -- Jackson Browne, Bonnie Rait, K D Lang, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Jennifer Warnes to name a few. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@christophersmith7041]

Elvis Presley mentioned that Roy Orbison had the best voice that he has ever heard! Checkout Roy singing Blue Bayou it’s amazing, great reaction thanks 🙏

[@rickroden7666]

I remember sleeping out on our lawn in N.Ca up the mountains, when I was about 12, and my foster sister on the lawn too, listening to this with our transistors radios.

[@genov9374]

Thanks for playong 2x. Roy has pne pf the best goices of the centiry. It makes me cry everytine he sings this dong. Glad you understand the significance of Roy

[@jewsbad]

He was in the Traveling Wilburys for a short time before he passed, he was really big in the 60s.

[@deltonkillen8024]

Yes, this song is the ultimate showcase of Mr. Orbiso's vocal talents. "You're Not Lonely Anymore" is a close second.followed by "Mystery Girl" and "Leia" . Check 'em out.

[@brianwalley2131]

you should listen to Roy Orbison singing Crying.

[@RG-qn2qm]

I don't understand why people haven't heard of not only Orbison but many, many great singers of the past. Their songs rang loud on most if not all radio stations. People who never heard of the Bee Gees or Bryan Adam's ....etc. it blows my mind ....lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦

[@carolhayar3037]

Because they were not born back then, or were very little, or their parents did not listen to or expose them to artists "back then" -- they grew up w-other musicians & other types of music & didn't have exposure to what someone like myself was there to see & hear & know about.

[@fredbloggs6080]

@@carolhayar3037 Of course, growing up with it one would know, and if parents were talking about or playing the music they would know about older music, and even so it can take a decade more to catch up on a lot of the older stuff or even contemporary music that you weren't exposed to at the time which may not have been hits. But I am constantly amazed that famous professional singers at the top of their genre have not heard of of hit pop songs from even 20 or 25 years earlier. Some pop artist are students of music history such as Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey, but many rose to the top without knowing much about the previous generation's music, which I find unbelievable at that level. For example, on the one season of shoot of American Idol called American Juniors in 2003, Debbie Gibson and Gladys Knight were the main judges, appearing on most of the episodes, and they had numerous other singer judges who appeared on several episodes or two episodes, even just one episode. Monica was a judge on two episodes, and on one of them there were at a least a couple of songs performed by the young contestants that she did not know, including Blondie's Call Me, from 1980.

[@KenPassey-hd2mc]

His voice echoes the tragedies he suffered 😢😂

[@maureenfortner5627]

I love your comments, putting into words my feelings about this performance

[@wannabetrucker7475]

He was a national treasure

[@bugvswindshield]

when I was a kid, I wasn't sure he was real. Maybe a made person like the Monkey's or the Patrich family. As I got in my teens , I was blown away. Even though I ventured in Heavy Metal...I always loved the classices and rejoiced at the Travelling Wilbury's. In the days I was in a rush to prove how old I was. Thanks for this!

[@lifelover515]

He's not called 'The Big O' for nothing, Sarah. Never been anything quite like him and probably never will be. Soaring, slow-build ballads against lush strings were his forte. This was his first hit in 1960, and his original recordings on the Monument label from then onward remain unsurpassed. I hope you check some of them out sometime. 'Black and White Night' is an all-star retrospective made not too long before he passed. Obviously still in fine voice here, but his peak years are highly recommended.

[@WendyS-3]

Please listen to "It's over". Often overlooked but incredible ❤

[@Coolrockndad]

I don't mine. I could listen to this tune 100 times in a row.

[@chris-s8i3i]

I think this performance was filmed in 1987 and he passed in 1988. Heart attack i believe. Many big names on that stage. Good reaction. we all love you...

Sarah, you were born in the wrong era and on the wrong continent. The late 1960 through the early 1980's a lot of good music came out of the USA.🇺🇸 Just an FYI: MRF (Mississippi River Festival) is supposed to be revived this year after a several years hiatus. One live performance after another. This time at Alton IL instead of SIUE campus.

[@marcvandenbroecke331]

Roy lost his wife and two of his children

50's and 60's music remain the best. And i'm from the 80's. So yeah, everything after that it's just a big NO!

[@keymack2477]

Roy later joined with George Harrison (formerly a Beatle), the great Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne (creative genius of Electric Light Orchestra) and Tom Petty to make up the band called The Traveling Wilburys. Their song "Handle With Care" features Roy singing the lyrics "Im so tired of being lonely", which is a nice nod back to this classic!!

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

Roy had a unique voice. He could sing 4 or 5 octaves - probably no one else is capable of. Watch the Travelling Wilburys. His contribution was integral. When they formed, they were a collective of the greatest musicians and they all agreed that if Roy didn’t join was it worth it.

[@RobinCanterbury]

Many people consider Roy the greatest voice ever. Check out his Crying, Blue Bayou, Pretty Woman. And for real fun, check out The Traveling Wilbury's a little side project Roy did with some friends. Grin. (This will shock you.) He had much tragedy in his life, but most everyone describes him as "the nicest guy you'll ever meet".

[@thomastimlin1724]

Little Remembered fact: The Beatles toured with Roy Orbison in 1963 in the UK. Although the Beatles were big in the UK they were not yet worldwide known. Roy was a BIGGER name at the time. The Roy Orbison/The Beatles Tour was a 1963 concert tour of the United Kingdom by Roy Orbison and the Beatles. Other acts on the tour included Gerry and the Pacemakers, who followed the Beatles across the pond to the USA in 1964. The Beatles were thrilled to death to tour with one of their idols. In fall 1964 Roy released one of his biggest songs, Oh Pretty Woman..it was different, had a Beatles kind of guitar riff ..if you listen to Beatles songs like Hold Me Tight and I Call Your Name, or I Saw her standing there [the bass part] you will hear a very similar riff to Oh Pretty Women's guitar riff. Another song was the Hippy Hippy Shake by the Swinging Blue Jeans, same style. Roy borrowed a Beatles style and made Oh Pretty woman a huge hit still remembered today, in the midst of Beatles dominance on the charts, not an easy thing to do...

[@thomastimlin1724]

They did the show in black and white on purpose - the countless celebrities in this show are masters in music invited to be part of the show. Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, J.D. Souther and Jennifer Warnes.

[@StephenCramer-tw2lb]

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Beach Boys all looked up to Roy and saw him as major competition. Touring with the Beatles in 1963 they wondered how they could follow him up as he received encore after encore.
