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:
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
