Originally a #1 hit for Roy in 1964, redone here in spectacular fashion as a "live" duet with Westlife for a U.K. TV special, circa 2004.

  • Very cool trick......it was a trick wasn't it?

  • Yes... Roy unfortunately passed away back in 1988. It doesn't show through on YouTube, but they added film grain to the new footage of Westlife to make it better match the appearance of the vintage film of Roy performing. They probably videotaped the whole song using a lookalike standing in Roy's place, and then spliced in the real footage of Roy himself in the close-up shots.

  • Excelente!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • LOL I was gonna type in "Whoa I thought Roy Orbison passed away! It's awesome to see he's still alive", until I saw your comment lol

    By the way your favourite band there is pretty good. I never heard much of Westlife's music, but this is really cool.

  • Wow, it's hard to believe that it's been more than 20 years since Roy passed away. Thanks for posting this as I really liked it!
