As I said in a previous post on this same subject, if you listen to KD Lang's cover of "Crying" that she did as a tribute to Roy at the Songwriters Hall of Fame in May 1989, you can hear in her voice the raw emotion that this song carries. Roy was the best, I've always loved his songs and his style, but I have to give props where they are due, and KD's cover is certainly well worth listening to.

For many years I thought this was the best cover for Crying

But then the "Voice" sung it live for me in concert at Club Bene and I realized
Holy crap, someone with almost Roy's range http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIdE5...BBA02591B19ECB

Then Jay sung this 20 feet away and sung it better live at age 60 than it sounds here.
Phenomenal

I have always liked Orbison for his voice AND emotion.
I remember 30 years ago hearing the story of how he wrote Crying sitting in an abandoned car in his parents back yard...as a teen at the time I really identified with what he was going through in that old car.

Agreed on the emotion part Destroyer, but I see Jay as having that and then some having seen him live four times.
There is a big difference in sound and all the other things from great performers as they mature. If you listen to Roy in his original recordings, and you listen to him in A Black and White Evening, the quality, tone, the emotion difference is astounding. It was the same for Jay compared to his original commercial tracks.
