I know I'm an oldie, but that guy from Brissie that did the Roy Orbison act was great. Gave me goosebumps and hair raising on arms too. Good job!

[rodentrancher]

"Crying" and he sang it exactly the same as the big "O"

 

[farmdog]

Roy Orbison died in 1988. I thought you were older than 17.

 

[farmdog]

well thought he died before the '80's

Recorded in 1961. His first #1 in Australia, at the top of the charts for 3 weeks and the 7th biggest selling single in Australia in 1961. Covered with less success by Don McLean in 1980 (only getting to #17 in Australia).
