Never heard the Big O did this before. just listened to the Righteous Brothers version and they are both great! Roys is class and smooth and The Righteous Bros different , but very moving also. Great singers with great lyrics!
There will never be a better song, its just musical perfection. Whatever version, whatever legend singing those sacred lyrics, every time its touch and it always will be by all generations. I cant wait to show this to my children. Nieces and nephews and share many more magical moments with loved ones with this as a soundtrack as i have already. So much emotion, welling up as i type this. Its a shame that it doesn't have a million+ views like modern hits may, but maybe that even makes it better.
I'd never heard this... leave it to Roy to take this most vocally-challenging song, sing it flawlessly, and then sing the final chorus up a 4th in an even higher key.
And, like all of his records, flawlessly arranged, and flawlessly produced.
When Bruce Springsteen started off in Rock music, he said he wanted to produce a sound like Phil Spector, write songs like Bob Dylan and sing them like Roy Orbison. But no one can sing like Roy Orbison!
And that says everything.
The greatest voice in music, then, now and probably forever.
Thank you mikeyouso fine, truly awesome clip, truly awesome my friend.
God bless you forever Roy. The Big O - the voice of an angel.
A superb cover of this great Alex North - Hy Zaret classic. Orbison lends this version a quality unmatched by any other (several of them quite fine in their own right). The arrangement is spot-on. I should like to think that both composers heard this recording; certainly they would have been flattered -- and deeply moved.
@AJNorth I agree with you entirely with regards to the quality of Roy's voice on this recording and the feeling he always imbues his singing with. Thank you for commenting.
I love singing Roys version of this song,just simple straight singing @ heart felt pure emotion with his earthly yet other wordly voice,you need a good set of lungs for this song - God gave Roy Orbison an angels voice @ an angels soul @ a guitar instead of a harp becos God likes Rock`n Roll too. When Roy does a show not only are thier people jn the audiance but a large crowd of angels also. . . by Gavin Roy Kimpton Auckland New Zealand
@mikeyousofine Your wellcome - um about x-mas im gonna put myself on u tube playing guitar @ singing Running Scared - i won singing Pretty Woman in a singing competition in 2009 - Gavin
@turkey55able "The most beautiful man and most awesome singer in the universe!!" Oh my God, yes! And even though Roy has been my musical hero since -- well, since *forever*, I had no idea he ever recorded this. I am speechless. ♥ ♥ ♥
i thought i,d heared all the great mans songs.then you find something like this.roy orbison takes my breath away.the ultimate singer.sadly missed.my greatest singer off all time.

So, Elvis wouldn't follow Orbison. That's reasonable.
Did he ever face the challenge of following the Bee Gees? Robin's voice would have freaked Elvis out, too.
Roy was a superhero to Robin Gibb. Got that first hand. : )
