" Crying" by Air Supply?

Question

Has anyone ever heard Air Supply cover Roy Orbison's song Crying? If so what album is it on?

Answer 1

The link below lists 211 songs. None of them is "Crying" or even a version of it.

Answer 2

I've done a number of searches and cross checks and can't find any instance of AS recording "Crying".
I also checked for any video posts in the event AS had performed but not recorded.

"Crying" is a rock and roll ballad written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson and sung by Orbison.The song was released as a 45rpm single by Monument Records in July 1961 and went to No. 2 on the Billboard pop music charts.

The song contains "a vivid combination of hurtful romantic longing combined with near operatic vocals" (Roy Orbison Biography, no date). It is remarkable in that Roy Orbison begins singing the climactic, final note slightly flat, sliding up by the end of the note to just under the correct pitch. That this was done for effect was confirmed in a live performance, Live at Austin City Limits, as well as on the 1987 re-recording from the album In Dreams, on which he sang that note perfectly on key.

The song also appears on Orbison's 1962 album with the title Crying and his 1989 posthumous album A Black & White Night Live from the 1988 HBO television special.

In 1987, Orbison rerecorded the song as a duet with k.d. lang as part of the soundtrack for the motion picture, Hiding Out. Their collaboration won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. Rebekah Del Rio performed an a cappella Spanish language version of the song, entitled "Llorando" in the 2001 David Lynch film Mulholland Dr. The song had also previously been used on the soundtrack for the 1997 cult film Gummo, directed by Harmony Korine, in which two of the central characters even discuss the song at length.

In 2002, "Crying" was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004,Rolling Stone Magazine named it as one of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."

Carrie Underwood performed the song on the TV Talent show, American Idol (Season 4). She later went on to win the show, and is now a successful country music artist. The winner of Australian Idol Damien Leith also performed the song, in 2006.

In a 2006 poll for a Channel 5 program Britain's Favourite Break-up Songs, "Crying" was voted 13th.

[edit] Other versions

The Lettermen recorded a version of "Crying" in 1964; it was included on their album She Cried. A version by Jay and the Americans reached #25 in the US in 1966. Don McLean also recorded a version of "Crying" in 1978. By 1980, it was an international number one hit.

Other artists who have covered the song include Gene Pitney, Waylon Jennings, Del Shannon, Bobby Vinton ,Liza Minnelli and Vonda Shepard.

[edit] Popular Culture

* Crying was featured in an episode of Only Fools and Horses. The episode Stage Fright featured Raquel and a guest character Tony Angelino singing this song at a function. Unfortunately Tony had a rhotacism, causing him to pronounce his R's incorrectly, making "Crying" sound more like Cwying.
* Crying was featured in the movie Gummo. After huffing glue, Tummler remarks that his cross-dressing brother used to sing Crying. Tummler then proceeds to weakly sing parts of the song. The original version of the song is used during the last scenes of the movie.
* A Spanish version of Crying named "llorando" was featured in the movie Mulholland Drive, in the scene where Rita and Betty attend a performance at an errie midnight theater called Club Silencio, touched by the voice of the singer, Betty begins shaking and both women cry uncontrollably.
* In the final round of the popular talent show America's Got Talent (season 2), ventriloquist Terry Fator made his puppet turtle Winston perform this song while impersonating Roy Orbison.

Could you be thinking of Aerosmith's song Cryin'? Here are the lyrics.

There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Listen, all I want is someone I can't resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Love it sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down on me
Now there's not even breathin' room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when we're makin' love
Must be one and the same
It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
Girl, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do to me
'Cause what you got inside
Ain't where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
'Til you give your heart away
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' just to get you
Now I'm dyin' just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to
I was cryin' when I met you
Now I'm tryin' to forget you
Your love is sweet
I was cryin' when I met you
