  • wow

  • The real tearjerkers, magnificent.....

  • beautiful! soooo like roy....

  • Its not a crush with me Its LOVE.

  • always had a crush on him! could just eat him up! love him!

  • This is a difficult song to pull off...Roy would nod in approval

  • Raul is beyond comparision!!!

  • I think the great O left Raul his beautiful Voice and range. R.I.P Roy

  • chris isak can sing with him

  • Imagine both Roy and Raul in the same stage singing this song..

    I would be pure heaven.

  • Raul could sing beside Roy and be very welcomed great voice ..

  • One Of The Best Vocals In Music

  • Great singer performing a most commendable vocal effort on one of the most eery tunes in The Late Great Roy Orbison songbook, even more remarkable considering the lack of background instrumentation, both amazing and outstanding! Thanks to: friendofraul, You Tube, and Raul Malo, for the upload, the power and space, and for the incredible set of pipes!

  • badass. Raul sing too much, you can kick many a.s.s.e.s, ouch!!

  • Raul sings it better like he does everything. He has a great set og lungs.

  • Raul sings it better like he does everything.

  • When I first heard Raul's voice (back in 1995 I think) I actually thought it was Roy Orbison.

  • can we buy this anywhere

  • Raul grew up listening to Roy Orbison as many of us did. Raul does justice to Roy's beautiful songs....Thanks Raul

  • Agree. He is so lovable and cuddly. Oh how I miss the Mavericks. He has a voice as near to Roy Orbison as one can get.. Chills up my spine when I hear this.

  • Bellissima voce. Raul Malo e C. Isaak sono gli unici che possono ricordare Roy Orbison ed Elvis

  • FANTASTIC! He is incredible!

  • He is sooo cute, love his dimples and his smaile.

  • what a great voice this young man has

  • @Laughtongang you don't know what your talking about

  • @TheThurmond Oh I do I assure you of that .

  • @Laughtongang your in a minority there u fool!!!!! lol!!!

  • @imajeed2 More fool you for being ignorant of real talent , everyone to their own opinion I say .

  • @Laughtongang Roy was the best! But that was a great attempt at a realy hard song! After all Raul is the one thats famous and and had many hits and has thousands of fans! Trust me famous or not if someone sings a song terribly i will be the first 2 comment!

  • Absolutely gorgeous. 

  • Olá amigo Raul. Sua música é linda em qualquer lugar do mundo.

  • He does a GREAT GREAT JOB!!! No one has ever sounded so much like Roy Orbison until Raul. I wish he would sing "Evergreen" that Roy Orbison sang, it is a beautiful song too.

  • @peachbrande59 beautiful voice.

  • Raul is one of the greates singers of all time. He can sing anyones songs perfectly or better. I love Roy Orbison also.

  • Close your eyes and imagine a duet...perfect harmony!

  • @geolson1 Only in my dreams!

  • The clarity of this mans voice is truly amazing. It just resonates and he hits notes so easily. One in a million.

  • Great tribute here, to the greatest singer and song writer of our time. No introduction needed but it is the greatest Roy Orbison song ever.

  • 04/25/10 . . .  Truly amazing! If anyone could (Cover) Roy Orbison it is this man wow what a voice!

  • The coke did'nt help Roys heart either!

  • @modoc63 Coke? What are you talking about?

  • @spaceorbison I think this fellow is referring to a garbage biography of Roy written by Ellis Amburn ('Dark Star') in which he claims that Roy asked his best friend Bobby Blackburn to get him some cocaine whilst touring up in Vancouver. Of course, Roy was dead and unable to defend himself but his family really went after Amburn. Frankly, I cannot imagine anyone less likely than shy Roy to want to 'do' coke. Mind you, he liked to bring a couple of Coca-Colas into the recording booth.

  • @spaceorbison Forgot to say .. this is a fantastic rendition of Roy's classic. Ole Roy would be impressed!!

  • I agree with Eileenie4. I dont think that Raul sounds that much like Roy. Only when he is singing Roys songs. I do listen to Raul constantly. I cant get enough of him.

  • Comment removed

  • Two weaks ago my wife died at age 55. Now i can feel what Roy has lost in his days and why he wrote that beautiful song " In dreams" Because in dreams i see my wife playing with my two boys!!

  • @steinderbusch You will always treasure those special times. And no one will ever be able to take them from you. God bless you.... He will!

  • Comment removed

  • @joepilot48

    Thank you for your kind words... god bless you to!

  • What A Voice!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm shocked beyond messure How much he sounds like Roy,,,I never thought in a millon years thar anyone could fill his shoes....but I'm eating my words now! I love Raul ...I could shut my eyes and listen to his crystal clear voice all night~

  • I realy think he,s the right successor for the Big O

    he,s very talented!! god bless him!!!

    I can hear him sing every day!!

  • He is incredibly talented. He has some voice but nobody can contact the pain like Roy did. He wrote this song about his wife and baby who died in a terribly tragic fire. I hope hes holding them in his arms now...RIP Roy

  • As far as i know his wife died in a motorcycle incident and he had two sons who died in , his house burning down ,That is the story they told me!!

  • yes his wife died on the back of a motorcycle and his children in a fire. I can only imagine the strength the man had to have to survive what life tossed his way .He should be an inspiration to us all as we examine our loses.

  • IHe survived that lost of wife and 2 sons, but i guess it ate him , cause he had several heart

    disseases, and bypasses, i think he was,nt really happy!! But his voice was great!! and his memories are!

  • Beautiful rendition...

  • Haunting!!!!! I have seen the Big "O' several times and its the same chill you feel on the high notes!

  • me next

  • I could so do him right now!

  • Me first!

  • I spend almost all of my spare time

    listening to him.  Lusting too.

  • Raul, your mine in dreams.

  • Raul knocked it out of the ball park,,,,he hit the note just fine,,,,he's not Roy,,but he doesn't have to be,,,,& SO00 good looking,,,,,,,,,,,thats my message

  • Excellent cover!!! I'm so glad that we have Raul Malo after Roy Orbison's death in 1989!! Roy lives on through Raul!! I am working on getting every song that Raul Malo has done. Every cover Raul has done, has been a sensational hit in my book!! Raul could sing anything; (jingle bells, an old christian hynm, or nursery rhyme) and he would make it sound awasome!! Keep it up Raul!! Us adults need your music; as there is not an artist out there that sounds like Roy Orbison. You're the only one!

  • 2010texmex try hitting a couple of Chris Isaak sites, Raul is quite good, but so is Chris at covering THE BIG O!

  • This guy is so amazing and absolutely gorgeous.....oh my God

  • roguefella present - is there love

  • Raol is unbelieveble!

  • a very clever song, not the usually format , goes higher and higher without repeating inself, raul made a ist class job of that. period!

  • I heard this just after the 9/11/2001 attack on the World Trade Center. I cry every time I hear it ever since. I can never forget those left behind.

  • This has got to be one of the saddest, most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life.

  • This man is soooo good. I've spent a lot of time listening to him, do so regularly, and it bothers me a bit to see him so heavy, it's just not healthy and I'd like to be listening to him for years to come....

  • This guy is GREAT.

  • Not bad but Orbison he ain't.

  • wonderful voice and what a hottie

  • I think Raul hit the same notes as Roy,,,,Thank God we have one of them left,,,,,Raul can do any of Roy's song's and it still brings a chill,,,,,Chris Isaak can make you weak too,,,,,,,,thats my message

  • raul is not a high tenor. not the same notes.

  • Whoa! It's awfully close to the big "O". Raul can hit those high ones right on!

  • I've always said The Big O was the best but Raul come pretty damn close.

  • You know, there are good voices and then there are great voices. Raul definitely has a GREAT voice.

  • great job thank's BloodnGutts

  • Sang that Roy O Raul

  • Nice...

  • loved this cover u don t hear much of him now?

  • i agree with workinprogress82's comment, and add:

    Hearing Raul sing is a totally joyous experience; to listen to "Roy" in such an amazing fashion, but too short a video. Thankyou for posting! Raul RULES!!

  • Have you heard his cover of Hot Buritto #1 on the Gram Parsons Tributea album - it's awesome

  • Absolutely...the greatest.

  • One of the great's, singing one the greatest song's ever written and sung by Roy O..What a tribute by Raul..

  • Awesome!!! Roy would be proud. Where can I down load this song at???, and thanks for posting this!!!

  • He definately doesn't get noticed enough.

    He is the best.

  • Voice of an angel with a devilish smile. Yum.

  • I wish Raul got the notice he deserves!  He's in my top 5 singers of ALL time!!!

  • he is most def, one of the greatest singer's in music, today.. if not forever
