Crying

Orbison and Joe Melson wrote Crying. Orbison's original was released on Monument in mid-July 1961 and reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1987 he re-recorded it as a duet with lang for the soundtrack of the film Hiding Out, and it came out as a single that year with Falling on the other side. It reached number 2 in Canada, number 42 on the US Hot Country Singles chart and number 28 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. The duet won a Grammy. In 1992 it reached number 13 in the UK and number 9 in Ireland.

After the song's success lang won the Canadian Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award, and she won it again in each of the next three years. In 1988 she sang backing vocals on Orbison's television special A Black and White Night. In a 1995 interview she said she had picked up from Orbison the studio habit of drinking Coca-Cola to get through hard vocals.
