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!
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.
@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!
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.
@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.
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.
I respect your feelings for Raul, so let's leave it there, that you are crazy about Raul. In your dreams does Raul fill Roy's shoes. Raul is an imitator (karaoke) not an innovator. Raul is not even in the same league with Roy. There is absolutely no comparison.
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!!
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~
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
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
His high notes are amazing, but his lows are alittle all over the place.Chris Isaak is a more rounded singer.Great non the less, and a fitting tribute.
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!
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....
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
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!!
