California Blue

[michaelsacoma]

The first verse of this song is the story of my life! Superb cover, Roy would have been proud of you.

[elvidinck]

Well thank you Michael, you have a second home now!

[Aryleia]

Impressive cover! Thumbs up!

[elvidinck]

thanks very much

[Jesterlaugh1]

I keep finding myself coming back to this video and it is more amazing every time, i just cant get enough - all the best to you

[elvidinck]

Thank you for watching and for your very kind comment!

[tegeagent007]

Man, you have a powerful voice. Just Great!!.

[elvidinck]

thank you for watching and for this kind review

[crockett616]

California is my place of dreams, so beautiful, thx for the vid and pics !

[elvidinck]

[Gerapa0]

Bravo!!

[elvidinck]

thank you very much

[IBKTB]

thanks for posting. love this song. a very very beautiful video.

[elvidinck]

thank you for your kind comment

[Juninho8Slo]

Did you enjoy when you sing this song? I,m sure you did. You made a great cover.

[elvidinck]

Yes, I love this song. I first heard it played while visiting Europe, and I love Roy Orbison, so it was an honor to sing this lovely song, since I live in California! Thanks for watching!

[Jesterlaugh1]

have to say it sounds good so well done for that, but unfortunately its Roy just slowed down, i sped it up and realiized it was the original, so please just tell people that you are not claiming to have sung it yourself ;)

[elvidinck]

Nice one dude....actually it is me singing it, sorry to disappoint you. I am the only person singing this song, as I do all of my songs on my channel. I love Roy and his fantastic original version, but this is me singing this here.

Hope you enjoyed it nontheless.

[Jesterlaugh1]

@elvidinck then i apologize sir you have an amazing voice i never believed anyone could ever impress me on this particular song except the man himself, i have karaoked this many tmes and heard many versions...yours is by far the best, thank you and well done, keep them coming ;)

[elvidinck]

You are a very nice. Thanks for this compliment, comparing me to Roy! He was a vocal genius and I am just a livingroom singer! ha ha But thank you for your kindness!

[stvoyager]

Hello sir......nice job........you hit this song on the mark....and Roy would be proud that his song got alot of respect from you......nice voice....would like to hear from you....again nicely done......be proud sir.

[elvidinck]

thanks for the comment, I appreciate it

[crackerjacks46]

Wow! How did I miss this one?? I think I did as the views are waaay up there. Saw Roy Orbison, live in 1977. Awesome performer. Like how you did this in your usual awesome style. Also a great performer. mega stars!

[elvidinck]

Its suddenly my biggest success on YT! I like this song, and I am so pleased you also found it enjoyable. Thanks for taking time to watch....hugs!

[rockergran]

Ha! I just looked higher on the screen, where some of the other videos on your channel are displayed. You sing Elvis songs. (I should have guessed.)

[rockergran]

Roy Orbison is as with Elvis Presley (actually any of the "greats"). No one can quite match them, of course. I truly enjoy the work of people who come so close. You have a very nice composition here. I hope to view more of your work soon!

[elvidinck]

thanks for the compliments! I try to just sing these songs in my own style, with a flavoring of the original singers, who as you have said, can't be beaten! While I am certainly not as good as Roy or Elvis, I do my best to provide friends on YT with an entertaining cover....so I am pleased you enjoyed this! :>)

[totallyamazing36]

This is incredible Mark. Sorry I missed all these great songs back then.

100 stars and more.

Great as always,

Marilyn

[elvidinck]

I thought you might enjoy this one....glad you did

[ancaburg]

I told you there is something that I've been missing:))) I what a loss it would've been, because I love Roy Orbison and this is one of my favorite songs of his. Excellent cover and also beautiful video.

Have a wonderful weekend, Mark.

Love and kisses,

Anca

[ElvisSacramento]

I've always liked this song immensely. It's such an absolutely beautiful song. As expected, your rendition of this gem was absolutely spectacular, 10 Stars as always Mark. You're so enormously talented. You're the only individual other than Roy Orbison who I've ever heard sing this song. I have seventeen Roy Orbison CD's and five Roy Orbison DVD's.

[elvidinck]

I love Roy!  What a talent! I am pale by comparison...but I did the best I could...I just love this song....thanks for watching
