Crying (Roy Orbison song) Crying (Roy Orbison song) "Crying" is a ballad written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson that was a hit for Roy Orbison. Dave Marsh calls the song a "rock-bolero" with "blaring strings, hammered tympani, a ghostly chorus, the gentle strum of a guitar, [and] a hint of marimba". "Billboard" observes an "expressive reading" on the "country-flavored ballad." The personnel on the original recording included Orbison session regulars Bob Moore on bass; Floyd Cramer on piano; Buddy Harman on drums; and Boudleaux Bryant, Harold Bradley, and Scotty Moore on guitar. The song was released as a 45-rpm single by Monument Records
