Thank you so much for your listen to this song written and sang by; who I believe, as well as Elvis Presley believed was the greatest male vocalist in history. And that says a lot for me because I have many, many favorites.

I want to tell you a story about Roy. He had a good heart. A girl was in a coma in a hospital in Scotland. The coma lasted a long time, and it got into the press, which also reported that she was a Roy Orbison fan.

Roy Orbison (whose own life was, itself, replete with tragedies) got wind of the situation and made a cassette tape in which he personally talked to her and played some of his songs. And, the girl came out of the coma very soon after her parents started playing her the tape.

How many would do that today? I humbly present my cover of "Running Scared." I hope he forgives and approves.
