Roy Orbison Version
A plaintive ballad, "Blue Bayou" was originally released by Orbison as the A-side track on a Monument Records 45rpm single released in August 1963 backed by the rock and roll track "Mean Woman Blues" (written by Claude Demetrius and originally recorded by Elvis Presley in 1957). The song also appeared on Orbison's 1963 full-length album In Dreams.
"Blue Bayou" reappeared on his 1989 posthumous album A Black & White Night Live, from the 1988 television special on Cinemax.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
