(Mostly Gay) Women & Roy Orbison
[K] Speaking of music: there is this strange phenomenon, which I can’t quite explain (feel free to help me with that in the comments), but there must be something about Roy Orbison that drives female singers wild… with the desire to cover his songs.
Examples?
L.P., ”It’s Over”
Brandi Carlile, also: “It’s Over”
Sharleen Spiteri - ”Pretty Woman” (Is it strange that the only straight woman around is singing the gayest - in both meanings - song?)
k.d. lang “Crying”
Here’s Brandi Carlile’s version of the same song. And for the more electronically inclined (because we’re hip like that): Austra’s “Crying” @ Soundcloud
Have I forgotten your favorite Roy Orbison Cover?
