You've hear this song. Not one of Orbison's biggest hits but a great song. and a quintessential 60's love song or love's lost song.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I remember Elvis thought Orbison had the best voice of anyone.
Roy’s sons and Johnny Cash’s son are coming out with a new album of Roy’s as yet unheard songs soon.
Through modern mixing they can sing with Dad.
thanks I’d like to hear that.....
Remember “Blue Velvet”?
“A Candy Colored Clown They Call The Sandman”.
Me too.
That scene absolutely creeped me out. Partularly Dennis Hopper. The song was just right.
Talk about surreal.
I’ve always loved this song (and this whole album) but in the last few days it’s become an earworm. Happy to know one of Roy’s lesser known songs is becoming better known.
Saw that on FBN’s Strange Inheritance.
I’ve heard that, too, about Elvis.
I was trying to remember where that came from. Thanks :)
“Orbison grew up in Texas and began singing in a country and western band in high school until he was signed by Sun Records in Memphis. His greatest success came with Monument Records between 1960 and 1964, when 22 of his songs placed on the Billboard Top 40 “.
I love Roy’s gentle persona and his voice, but don’t think I like this one. I feel so rotten to say that. ;)

You are right of course but Dennis Hopper calls it “Candy Colored Clown”.
