This is such a timeless and classic song originally written and performed by the legendary Roy Orbison. Don McLean covered it several years later, taking the song out to a lushly orchestrated ballad arrangement, which happened to be the first version of the song I heard and became familiar with. I've always loved it, and many years later, kd Lang recorded it both solo and as a duet with Roy Orbison himself. If you get the chance, you should check out a live recording she did several years ago that you can find on YouTube, and hear what she does with her amazing voice with this song.
