We lost a singing legend, God gained a singing angel

[@jarrelechner6119]

that end, gives me chills, that man had a voice like no other, im 16 and i listen to roy every day🫶🏻😎

[@simban00]

This is about as raw As It Gets. Roy's voice and his guitar you can almost imagine him sitting across a campfire singing for you

[@davidfos84]

His voice is absolutely unbelievable.

[@kellyalexander5741]

He killed it. Love Roy Orbison. One of the best voices ever.

[@lorenzorenzmann6631]

No! THE best VOICE ever.

To hear Roy sing this song is heavenly, but to SEE him singing it is out of this world. What a wonderful video. I have heard this song many many times, but to see him singing it is even more special. And this is the very first time I have ever seen Roy with his "clear glasses" on. Amazing Video.

[@joleerinehardt2676]

you can tell he loves his voice . / He said in an interview that he fell in love with his own voice . He always stated it was a gift and he thanked God often for it .

[@arleneferreira6509]

Oi amor da minha vida. Nossa hoje eu daritudo prá estar do seu lado. Tô muito carente de vc...a saudade hoje está me consumindo. Acho q me apaixonei por vc novamente. E descobri desde ontem quando vc colocou aquele rapaz falando umas verdades. Foi quando minha ficha caiu q vc errando as vezes é o único q realmente me aceita como sou. E então as vezes sou muito intolerante com vc. E que vc não é obrigado a se culpar pelos meus dias ruins. Mais mesmo assim vc não desiste de mim. Vc é o meu mal necessário. E q já te magoei demais. Me perdoe amor. E nunca me deixe sozinha e jamais solte da minha mão. Me carregue com vc onde que vá. Te amo demais

[@sultanabran1]

there's a person who is blessed with a unique and wonderful voice.

[@LoveLife-wy8gt]

He often said that and always thanked God for such a beautiful gift.

Could this man ever hit a duff note ? NO, not even when rehearsing, The master of heartbreak, the king of hearts !

Sonny love this song, , Roy has a real great voice i hope his sons carry on with his music

[@user-un3en5hv7d]

[@wozza2942]

The best ever. Never bettered, 34 years later.

[@joleerinehardt2676]

Ive never seen him move like that/ Ive usually seen him with a guitar in his hands / what a delight he is , love his voice . He was a good human .

[@markco61]

As a person, musician and vocalist, Roy was truly one of kind without a doubt! He could have been a Pavarotti but pop music gave him the kind of recognition he deserved.

[@SUKITA264]

Apesar que era o "Caruso do Rock", um Tenor da música pop. Até Pavarotti admirava o Roy.

[@cameronashton6987]

It's so special to see him laying down tracks in the studio. He used his entire body to sing. Love the hand gestures.

[@carlmolyneux8308]

Outstanding talent and it's the first time I've seen him sing this song. It's great to see this. I love this song and I love Roy Orbison. His voice is once in a lifetime

[@pechako5441]

Something special about seeing him make these hand gestures ... he's usually playing a guitar ♥

[@joleerinehardt2676]

I said the same thing / loved it .

[@malcarrasco9726]

Just love Roy Orbison singing "California Blue" this very sentimental and sad song. His wonderful music will forever live on.....!!! RIP Roy!!

[@JoseLuisPerezIbarra]

he asked OK? such an extraordinary humble talented man,he made me miss California, never been there.

[@catrincribb1628]

Dave speaking on my wife's sign in . In my 70's , Recently I play dear Roy every day in my car . There is just something about his soaring voice that makes me happy to be alive , cheer's my every moment .

[@AgnesTuran-ud4dr]

1988 dec. 6-án ezen a napon veszítettük el Roy Orbisont. Magával vitt mindent amivel minket megajándékozott. Gyönyörű mennyei hangját, csodás balladáit és a szerény, imádnivaló férfit. Ma 35 év után sem tudjuk elfogadni a veszteséget. Hiányát nem enyhíti az idő. Nyugodj békében drága barátunk! Turan A.

[@jesuinodesouza294]

Sou brasileiro e gosto muito do Roy Orbisont e suas músicas, cantor insubstituível. Saudades. Descanse em paz com os anjos no céu.

[@StuartWoodMusic]

Love this, just Roy and guitar and Jeff Lynne's love - what more do we need?

[@classicrockfan8034]

So True Jeff Lynne and Roy, this is fantastic!

[@DailyGrindAus]

Wow. I really loved this. You see the performances where Roy stands and delivers, but this was different, his whole body was working towards hitting those notes and delivering the song. I've never seen him so animated. What a treasure this video is...and why didn't YT bring me here sooner?

[@daveoneill8235]

In a world of his own. On another level The big o. Absolute ledgend. Some of roys best material was in his latter years.thanks for the memories.

[@davidhughes7944]

Don't mind admitting this song always reduces me to tears as do most of his wonderful songs. He left us far too soon, but we shall always have his magnificent songs. Thank you Roy and rest in peace. David N Hughes.

[@kevrockism]

once u listen to 1 of his songs your gone for hours and hours ,for that I thank him :)

[@sarahkinsey5434]

This is so true! I end up listening to his songs until 1-2 am on school nights, I just can't get enough!

[@generosecrans7976]

This is the best that he has ever done.... I've been a fan for more than 50 years

[@davethecurrymonster]

On the 7 th day god rested then he made Roy orbison 😀

[@elkepeter6641]

Schade das man diesen begabten Sänger mit dieser Super Stimme nicht mehr live erleben kann. Sehr sehr schade!!

[@daleboxsell2805]

The ending of this version gives you chills, God Bless You Roy and thanks for the wonderful music.

[@bigslav5043]

so much musical history in this man,s beautiful voice.

[@stuballs42]

Never before ,never since ,never again, a voice like Roy's ! case closed !

he reaches a place in everyone that they believe is a secret known only to the one they love and themselves

[@attorreatravere4590]

great one

[@TaladarkieJJ]

This is beyond lovely and beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes. It's so very sad that he has left us many years ago.. but he lives on through his music and legacy.

[@andynix8718]

Seen him live in the early eighties fantastic man Incredible voice.

[@AgnesTuran-ud4dr]

Agnes Turan 1936 ápr. 23-án Isten egy angyalt küldött a földre Csodálatos mennyei hanggal és egy géniusz tehetségével áldotta meg. 2023-at írunk 35 éve hiányzik nekünk a "Rock Carusoja" The Big O" és hiányozni fog örökké. Roy Orbison pótolhatatlan. Emlékezzünk Rá születése napján !

What a treasure this video is I know its only a demo but its fantastic ITS ROY X

[@Duncan038]

My favourite Roy Orbison song. Great to see the footage of him in the studio.

[@taylordve]

At the end he says "Ok?" No ... Just sublime - a simple arrangement of a 12 string guitar accompanying THAT voice. WOW

[@davethecurrymonster]

It's like fishing once you have your 1st taste your hooked for life thanks for the memories Roy hope you find your happiness in heaven with your loved ones 💜💜

so many other artists say, they were glad to say they lived in the time of ROY ORBISON.

[@kcav5374]

What a talent! I remember singing karaoke one night and I did Running Scared & while I probably never had his Quality of voice I DID hit that last note! Even though I still sing karaoke, sadly those days of most of the high notes are gone, but I did it! And it's like they say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!" Loved Roy Orbison's songs ! ! !

[@thegoingthing]

Wow. How lucky are we to have this treasure recorded! His voice is extraordinary. Elvis Presley always said that Roy had the best voice and that he could have been an opera singer.

[@moonmonster6]

Elvis once said he would never appear with Roy, saying Orbison's voice would over-power his own vocals

[@samatutahi4032]

Wonderful, Roy at his best!

[@Gervoyage]

This version is, in my mind better than the original.

[@83countryfan]

This version is the exact same vocal cut used in the album track. This is how they recorded the vocal take for the album, just his voice with the guitar- and built up the other instruments around it.

[@joleerinehardt2676]

@@83countryfan I loved this . I loved watching him .

[@TheTornadoJim]

The original is the best

I can't imagine his voice is smooth and the range considering he was such a heavy smoker. Which in the end was sadly his demise RIP Roy still missing you.
