  • I only found this song because I typed my name into Youtube, so typically, here is another Leah

    *hiiii*

  • shit---most contemporary rappers wish they had the flow roy obison had!!!

  • The name "Leah" is awesome. (My name is Leah :P haha). Good song :)

  • There's a girl at my school named Leah. Got her a present for v-day but she was on a trip to indiana. :(

  • My song! My dad introduced me to this song when I was a kid. For a long time all I would listen to was his Roy Orbison cassette. That's how I got introduced to his big hits like Pretty Woman and Only The Lonely. This song is also the reason I have always wanted a man to give me a single pearl necklace! ^_^

  • I don't know anyone named Leah, but I like this song.

  • My name is Leah too! Awesome there is a song with our name in it!

  • There's a new girl at my work, who I love, named Leah.

  • hahah mii name is leah to! ahha i just typed in mii name and saw this and now i really like the song!! ahahhaha

  • My family doctor's first name is Leah! Beautiful song,as most of roy orbison's songs were

  • My mother named me "Leah" when this song became a #1 Hit during 1962

    The name "Leah" makes us different from birth so we learned to fear no man . . . and we're never afraid to be first either. We are professional fun-havers, doers and change-agents too . . . and some of us talk too much!!  The bold and fearless may not live as long but the shy and timid don't live at all.

  • @thriftgirl62 Actually this song "Leah" never went any higher than #25 Billboard in 1962.

  • @thriftgirl62 wow that is so true but some times i am spontanies and do things on the spot and get in trouble so what do you think is going wrong hehe - im Gavin

  • In 1962 My wife and I were living on Hollywood Blvd. I drove to work at Florence and Avalon, about 15 miles. My wife was pregnant and we were thinking of names for our soon to be newborn child. I heard this song on my car radio in my 1947 Ford sedan and knew right away if our child was a girl her name would be Leah. Leah was born on December 22. Love this song and my daughter.

    Thanks for the memories.

  • This is one of my Roy Orbison favorits!

  • what a fantastic song ty so much for posting...they dont make them like this anymore...x.x

  • same

  • Roy- amazing vocals. Also like the background singers harmonizing with Roy.

  • You know someone told me years ago (following the birth of my baby girl) I named her "Leah"

    That Roy loved the Hawaiian Islands... if I'm not mistaken he wrote the words to many of his songs, if not all. This one especially..sorry if I'm mistaken...I just love him!

  • can anyone tell me the origin of this song?

    who wrote the words and the lyrics?

    why would he sing about a pearldiver?

    is the song traditional?

  • The flip side of this song is also a Big "O" classic..Workin For The Man.

    One of my all-time favorite artists. In Dreams, my choice as his best.

    Thanks (f-g-o)and keep up the excellent work. Will check back frequently for additions as I really enjoy 'forgotten oldies'

    Today's oldies stations don't seem to have a clue of what was......

  • I was fortunate to have older brothers and a sister who collected 45s. We had several Roy Orbison 45s, loved them all. Thanks for your kind words. - Brad
