The title pretty much says it all here. As with most of the other videos posted here, this one too is from the "TRIBUTE TO ROY ORBISON - a concert to benefit the homeless" event that aired on the SHOWTIME network in 1990.
This is probably THE worst rendition of this song Ive ever heard. You'd think the guy would sing it as its written, not this hillbilly yodelling bullshit.
Thank you for uploading this here on Utube. A friend is singing this acapella for me at my wedding this next Friday as part of the ceremony. The song is priceless to say the least.
I have a tape bootlegged from the main console, with ALL the songs, including those that didn't make the TV show - notably Michele Schocked's "Sweet Dream Baby"
Roy Orbison Tribute concert, Feb 24, 1990 at the Universal Ampitheatre in LA -- they used my photos of Roy for the backdrop collage. I attended and met Chris - his teleprompter had the words for "Leah" wrong and that's the way he sang it. At the after party, Denny Dent painted a 4' x 5' poster of Roy in the time it took to play Mystery Girl, In Dreams and Pretty Woman. Denny only did 3 paintings and I have one of them. Roy to the World.
Chris, I want to thank you for remaking this song. I was named after this song. I used to listen to it as a little girl all the time. Today is my birthday and a friend sent the link to me. It made my day:)
