Did you forward this to Roy's son? Roy had an unusual, in some ways unique voice, but Glen Campbell used to love to sing his songs. He did Dream Baby on Shindig (it's on youtube) and Cryin' was on his Gentle on my Mind album and as an old man, when his voice was quite different, he put it on his PBS special; both are on KZbin. I only mention this because if you go to Nashville I personally think it would be great if you could connect w Glen's old bandmate, the great musician & producer Carl Jackson, who plays at the Station Inn on Monday nights; I don't know him personally, just through Twitter, but to me it would be awesome if he could work with you in any way. Connections w so much history are nice. There are so many people in Nashville who value live music and are connected in some way to so much of the music that you like--I guess they can be said to be all sort of like the heirs to the Chet Atkins magic. (Chet was an exec & producer at RCA when they acquired Elvis's contract and one of the great guitarists in pop music history.) Do you know who Roger Miller was? Roger was a contemporary of Glen and Willie Nelson and Roy etc, a singer-songwriter who had some smashes of his own and a lot of songs that others made famous--like "I Catch Myself Cryin'" I think that is a great song for you. Songs that are plainly emotional--up or down--seem to me like good ones for you. I LIKED what you did with Back to Black because you didn't try to sound like Amy, who has that punch-in-the-face belting voice--no one could out-Amy Amy. Your version was more plaintive and so it became your own song--in fact I had to look it up to remember whose song it was, which is crazy because I love Amy! Speaking of heartbreak songs, Lonnie Johnson's "Another Night to Cry" would be a perfect song to do with a master guitarist like Carl Jackson because the guitar part is hard and your voice would make the song into something else. I wonder how many more cryin' songs I can think of. Here is a video of Willie, Glen and Roger Miller, with the songs "Uncloudy Day" and "Old Friends," both very beautiful. "Old friends" would be a nice song for you to do with your brother and the other fellow, whose name I can't remember. whokzbin.info/www/bejne/bmKUqXmampyFo7s&ab_channel=Davehenry55

My step father was a huge fan of Roy Orbison. I live in Vancouver Canada and in 1980 Orbison performed there in a small venue of about 250 people. The tickets were 13 dollars each... and I thought ... Wow what a great gift for my mother and stepfather. Their anniversary was coming up. I bought them the tickets for their anniversary ... two days later they went to see Roy Obison perform and were blown away... they couldn't stop talking about him and his performance. I only wish I could have gone too! And only $13 dollars a ticket ... I would pay $1300 now. Thank you Elliot for such a great cover, you did Roy proud! I would love to hear you do Crying if you can... Roy Orbison's collaberation with Kadie Lange was epic. I know you can do it even better. Luv ya Elliot.

The most charismatic performer I have ever seen. He was getting double standing ovations before he even finished the songs. You, young guy, have just drilled it. Keep the hits coming, I'll be tuning in to your channel. Tx for taking me back there. Just great.

I never want to stop listening to you sing. This is one of the best! Your talent knows no bounds. Please do not let the evil ones in this industry come and steal your soul! Research what happened to Elvis and Michael! If they haven’t already…

Wow!! I floated along on the waves of your beautiful melodic voice, waiting for that high note and you nailed it!! I'm 72 years old and I know Roy Orbison music and this is outstanding! Did you know that RO was Elvis's favourite singer? He said nobody had a better voice than Roy...He would have loved you!! Well done, take a bow! ♥♥♥

I can’t tell if I’m listening to Elvis of you…. I’m an odd teenage girl that listens to 1950 music I’m glad someone’s trying to bring back the style! Music was so much more clean back then.🦋

Well said Janie. What an incredible talent not to mention beauty. The last time this kind of talent emerged his name was Elvis who praised the big O as the best voice he had ever heard. I think there could be a bit of reincarnation going on here folks. Thanks Elliot. Take care of yourself young man.m

When I hear this song I think of my departed wife, The lyrics bring me to tears as I think of my Jeannie. I dream of her often and it's understandable since we were together 50 years. Your rendition is spot on with Roy. Good job and that song will always have a special place in my heart. 😢

First of all: it's wonderful to see that there are still young people that fully appreciate the genius of Roy Orbison, Elvis and other awesome singers of the past. Secondly: I was a bit skeptic at first. Kid doing a Roy Orbison cover? Yeah, right ... But you really, really nailed it! Surprised that you can hit those notes with ease and yes, you sure look the part! I hope these covers bring you all the recognition you deserve!

Elliot, I’ve already commented once about this song, but I just can’t stop listening to it. It is so beautiful. I really liked Roy Orbison but for some reason your version has a profound impact on me. Maybe it’s just your amazingly crazy voice I love listening to, or maybe it’s just because of being later in life. I’ve lost both of my parents, and the love of my life as well, over the past few years. This song actually makes me think of them, and wishing I had been a better person in their life. So you bring me to tears with this performance, but they must be good ones, because I can’t get enough of hearing it. Thank you so much my friend. You definitely do it justice. Your voice is addictive and what I wouldn’t give to see you live. You are a beautiful amazing young man. Thank you for what you do. This world is such a better place with you in it. Please, never give up on your dream. You have no limits as to how far you want to go in this world with your talent, and you will always have fans. Please come to the Chicagoland area sometime.
