A beautiful rendition of the Roy Orbison classic, this version by Don McLean was a surprise retrospective hit in Australia in 1980. despite having been memorialized in 1978. Spending 4 months in our charts in the first half of the year, 'Crying' made it to the Top 30 and the top of the charts in parts of Europe, prompting Mclean's record label to re-release the material from the late 70's (he had been between labels after Arista, but had been issued on EMI in Britain and Festival in Australia) and in 1981 'Crying' was a major Top 5 hit for him in his home territory. For me, the kd Lang and Orbison duet is the definitive version of the song, but supposedly the great man himself thought Don McLean's rendition the best!
