I couldn’t find out when this was recorded, he’s showing his age a bit, this doesn’t show the purity on the high tones he had when he was younger, although you get a good reminder. Live video with decent audio from that time is hard to find.

“Blue Bayou” is a song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. It was originally sung and recorded by Orbison, who had an international hit with his version in 1963. It later became Linda Ronstadt’s signature song, with which she scored a Top 5 hit with her cover in 1977.
