The thing about Roy Orbison was that he had the most phenomenal vocal range and had such a great sounding voice as well! The man was a fantastic resonator of pure sound energy!!
I remember hearing a version of this song by Don McLean in 1980 which was a number one and I seem to recall and as with all covers as I loved the song so much I sought out the original and what I found was Roy Orbison!
This version of the song was one that Roy recorded shortly before his death with K D Lang and this is the one that I have on my ipod and listen to as I travel to work. It’s a song about love and loss ( a universal theme ) and a true classic. Even as an old man Roy Orbison’s voice and delivery were still amazing and as a keen fan of K D Lang too this was a wonderful collaboration.
Now listen to the song….
