Any song he sings is great!

Roy and Aaron the greatest

Awesome singer Roy the best.

💽📀📀📀📀📀

So beautiful

So happy he got to sing this. It's such a classic and covered by so many!

my dear mother sang this to me as I was a boy then

A great french song by the greatest singer rock ! Marvelous ...

thx dats; beautiful; this has always been a favourite of mine. *******

Aleluia. Angel In the earth singing. Angel In the sky singing. Rip

There is a song that Roy wrote that is Christian oriented called WHAT AM I WORTH? It is worth listening to.

I love Roy, but he can"t beat "the Browns" on this song....

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
GOD--That voice....

Simply breathtaking.

Love Roy singing this. But the definitive version is by Edith Piaf. Check her out on You Tube. Astonishing.

As much as love the original version (The Browns)...Roy does an excellent cover....^/^

The Browns did not do the original. It’s actually a French song that the Browns covered.

i perfer the browns singing this one .still like roy orbison thou

LOVE THIS SONG - I ONLY LOVE ROY'S VERSION - THANKS FOR POSTING

To think Johnny Cash tried to talk Roy Orbison into singing in lower tones.......guess cash was wrong.....

Johnny Cash was wrong BIGLY!! ;)

Orbison was phenomenal.

I have always loved this song since being a child. Thanks to YouTube for bringing this version to me. It combines one of my favourite songs with one of my favourite singers. Not heard it before.

i have the browns version.
both brilliant..like this one better though.

the greatest voice..ever.

Thank you for posting this hidden gem, it is absolutely beautiful. And thank you Roy. (RIP)

A TREASURE.

This is a French song.

How could one voice be so great!

this must be the best version ever

+Billy Knowles The Browns also have a great version. Check it out.

love this version but i like the browns version better

Such a touching song. This is the closest thing to a hymn that I've ever heard Roy sing. Some already know, and others may be surprised to hear that Roy was a man of faith. During a time when most every known singer surely added a gospel album to their collections, Roy, however, opted NOT to do so. He felt that it wouldn't be right to profit from songs of God and the Christian faith---that they should always be freely shared free of any possible exploitation. I understand his sentiments, however, I still dearly wish Roy would have recorded a gospel album---it would have been hauntingly beautiful---unmatchable. I feel in the long run, doing so would have surely spread the Good News and proved an asset to Godly endeavors in the world.

i wondered many times why he never made a gospel album thanks for clearing that up i would agree with him but feel what a good way his fans would hear the message. he was one of the humblest men iv ever spoken to a true gentleman. only one Roy

That he was, and likely still is. True----there's only one Roy Orbison.

I secretly hope more Godly songs of this nature will be found.

+johnny nolan

+ArtPsych7. i sure hope so too

I will try and find this reference. I was impressed by his stance.

Yes the song was originally a French Catholic song that became popular in the 1940s. It celebrated three important events in the life of a Christian. The Baptism by a priest when he was a just a few days old. His marriage some 18 or 20 years later and the last rites when he passed away as an old man. Here is a popular version of the son by Edith Piaf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVuKLxx-ETY

to slim robbins, roy orbison is the master of song he can sing any song his voice is magic never be any one like him again

Loved Roy's great and unique voice and he did justice to any song he ever attempted. The Three Bells though IMO will always belong to Bonnie, Maxine and Jim Ed Brown.

So true Kevin....can pick his voice any time....a unique singer and song writer!!

Love this song - Never heard this version. Love it

@Eve Sepe The same as me.I didn't know that he sang this song!

@Slim Robbins Thanks for your reply - Now I don't feel so bad - lol

+Slim Robbins How true, an absolute hidden gem.

memories from the past

Beautiful recording of a lovely song...although my favourite version is that done by the late Phil Everly

@Alan Watt The original was sung in french by Edith Piaf (Les Trois Cloches).

evergreen.

Wonderful. Sad but beautiful.

There will never be another voice like Roy Orbison's. 

You are so right Bob, a most unique talent!!

👏👏👏❤️

maravillosa

Roy was just unbelievable. 

Indeed he was.

My first time hearing this. Will wonders never cease?Thanks. I loved it. 

I had never heard Roy's version of this. What a unique recording and of course his voice is excellent as it always was. I have to agree with what Nick Compton noted that Roy is without equal. Thank you so much for sharing your treasure with everyone to enjoy. God Bless Always  

I have never heard this by Roy Orbison....so lovely.  I met Roy in Montreal many years ago; I was about 19 - 20.  What a treat; I will never forgot him, and have been a fan for decades. 

@Kathryn McMahon Reading your comment & how you met Roy at such a young age is something you will always remember for sure. I had never had the chance to meet him but followed his career very closely & he was a very humble person & was well respected by other artist in the music world. Like yourself I have always been a big fan throughout the decades... God Bless    

Brilliant version of the classic Browns track. Roy is without equal
