~ Roy Orbison - Far Far Away
Views: 8903 |  |  |  |  | A fairly obscure one - Roy Orbison sings "Far Far Away", from the album 'Roy Orbison Sings Don Gibson'. Released in 1967, the song was recorded earlier, possibly as early as 1960. It's not a 'Blue Angel' or 'Evergreen', but it's still good - and it's got ...More a nice piano break. |

~ Gene Pitney - Blue Angel..w/ LYRICS
Views: 38689 |  |  |  |  | Blue Angel "Gene Pitney" Year Song Released 1974 When we were kids I was your friend watching you grow. You didn`t get much of the love most of us know. Ohh-oh blue angel, I can`t put you down. I should know better I grew up in your part of town And I can ...More bless my good fortune I came through it fine Ohh oh blue angel, you will always be a good old friend of mine How many years since you took off with your guitar? Joining a band and singing sad songs round the bar Ohh-oh blue angel guess I should have known That`s not a good life for a girl far away from home... When you were sad, poor and lonely, too proud to let on Ohh-oh blue angel all your better times just never came along Now the gentlemen of Soho buy your kindness and your smile And your flesh is just a souvenir of London for a while But I know what keeps you going what you spend your money on Some pusher man from hell has got you hooked on all that`s wrong And a pretty dress don`t cover up your eyes... And I won`t forget the emptiness I found in your disguise... Lalalala... (fading) Ohh-oh blue angel I can`t put you down I should know better I grew up in your part of town... |

~ Roy Orbison and his beautiful high register
Views: 5805 |  |  |  |  | This video is for all you high baritones out there (like myself) who struggle for that relaxedness and beauty in the upper half of the 4th octave. Roy Orbison is the man. I´m not sure if he is a true tenor, more like a baritenor. His top notes seldom had ...More a lot of chest voice and his lows sound very baritonish. Up to you to decide! 1.What is this? The classic Orbison growl! From Oh pretty woman. This growl which is in the lower part of the 2nd octave may be the reason that he often was cited as having a 3 octave range (sometimes erroneously cited as 4 octaves), but let´s concentrate on his beautiful high register 2.A passage with a head voice F4 falling to E4, song is I drove all night from the posthumous release King of hearts. Roy has switched to head voice even though this is per definition below the passaggio (F#4). If one wants to sing medium high notes in a beautiful and soft manner, one needs to employ head voice. 3. A great A4 from California blue, the comeback album from 1989 with many of the Traveling Wilburys participating on it. Notice how the A is part of the sung phrase, not just a single top note. 4.A somewhat weaker and thinner A4 from Windsurfer from the same album. 5.The final A from that song is much better though! 6.A high B flat (Bb4) from song It´s over. Once again, the top note is part of the sung phrase. 7.A B4 from Fallling. 8.Another one from A love so beautiful. 9.A B4 with a trill to C5 from song Harlem woman. Nice diminuendo. 10.The famous ... |
