Roy Orbison - In Dreams (Cover by Elliot James Reay)

Thank you all for the love on this video! I love to hear your stories so please keep commenting and just know if you have seen him perform live then you have lived my dream! Roy is one of my favourite artists and I'm happy to do more covers so let me know what you would like to hear!

I am 81 and know about Roy Orbison music. You were right on! Beautiful job!

Nailed it! 74 years young here! I KNOW my Roy Orbison music! You were brilliant! 👍🏻❤️

I am 77 and came to listen to see if anyone could even attempt Roy’s music……what a beautiful job you did! Bravo! Music is huge in my family. I am a singer, my daughter plays three instruments and is a Music Therapist, and my son plays drums trained by the director of music theater in Indiana, so I listen closely to music, and how it is done. I know good music, and this is beyond good! 🎹❤️

70 years old here. What a lovely voice You made Roy's song your own. Truly beautiful. Thankyou for the memory.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You have a gift from God, son.🙏 You brought Roy Orbison back to life. Thank you Elliot!

Came across this by accident. It gave me shivers up and down my spine. What a fantastic voice, such a tribute to Roy Orbison . Really did his creation justice with this rendition. Great stuff.

I can’t believe a young man in this day and age of trashy music can sing like you and the style and purity you do it. Music good music needs you. Bless you.

I'm 73, and always loved Roy Orbison. I don't think I've ever heard anyone even attempt to sing his songs. You nailed it. You sing beautifully! Please keep doing what you're doing. You're a blessing!

I'm from that era Elliot. Roy Orbinson was one of my favorite singers back then and young fella you made me cry. There will never be music like that again and it is so nice to hear a young man like youself, actually use his volcals. Good on you.

This young man is good. Very few people can pull off an excellent Roy Orbison cover.

You didn't copy Roy. You sang the song the way it is meant to be and with your own beautiful voice. What a talented young man you are. Thanks for the music. 👏🎶🎤🎶

Roy Orbison was one of my favorite singers growing up! I’m 75. Your voice is wonderful like his. May you be as successful as he was. ✨✨💕

My God, simply heavenly. Never thought I’d hear another pop voice as angelic as Roy Orbison. Beautiful and transcendent, Elliot. 💙👊👊

This is the absolute favor of all of your videos. I am 80 years old and love Roy Orbeson, but I love your beautiful voice even more. Keep singing. You have a bright career ahead. I also like the videos you post with your friends to let us get to know you better.

My step father was a huge fan of Roy Orbison. I live in Vancouver Canada and in 1980 Orbison performed there in a small venue of about 250 people. The tickets were 13 dollars each... and I thought ... Wow what a great gift for my mother and stepfather. Their anniversary was coming up. I bought them the tickets for their anniversary ... two days later they went to see Roy Obison perform and were blown away... they couldn't stop talking about him and his performance. I only wish I could have gone too! And only $13 dollars a ticket ... I would pay $1300 now. Thank you Elliot for such a great cover, you did Roy proud! I would love to hear you do Crying if you can... Roy Orbison's collaberation with Kadie Lange was epic. I know you can do it even better. Luv ya Elliot.

I'm a Huge Roy Orbison fan , have been for many years. We played this song at my Dad's Funeral. You are completely on spot and your Voice is Beautiful. Love this ❤ I'm sure Roy would be in awe of your Talent.

OMG! What a fantastic rendition of the man’s music I grew up with! I’m 71 years old and have NEVER heard a cover done so close to the same exact style of Roy Orbison in my entire life! Absolutely mind blowing…Roy would be so proud and honored to hear and see you perform this being only one of his many smash hits! Thank you for sharing! As Elvis would say, “Thank ya, thank ya very much”. ~Jim from TOTALLY RELAXED! YouTube channel ~

You belong on the voice, I can see a 4 chair turn, and winner of the voice. Beautifully done. I know you made Roy very proud.

Elliot I am extremely picky about my music and I don't give compliments very often. In the few months I've been listening to you, you have reached new heights! Don't ever stop learning and practicing and don't take anything for granted. And above all, don't forget to thank our creator the Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you abundantly!
