"Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)" is the title of a song written by Cindy Walker which was first recorded and released by Roy Orbison as a single in 1962. It was a big international hit for Orbison. The song follows a traditional 12 bar blues style. It has been covered many times, including by American country music artist Glen Campbell who released it in March 1971 as the lead single from his album "The Last Time I Saw Her". It was also covered by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1967 and again by Waylon Jennings.

Elvis held Roy Orbison in very high regard, publicly stating that Roy had the "most perfect voice" and referred to him as the "greatest singer in the world" during one of his Vegas concerts.

And Roy's respect was mutual, he went to Elvis' concerts from 1954 to 1976.

Roy was the only artist to open for both The Beatles and Elvis Presley.

Elvis never recorded one of Roy Orbison's songs, a clear mark of respect in that he did not believe he could better him. The closest he came was one line of 'Running Scared' while recording 'Tomorrow Never Comes' for his classic Elvis Country LP in June 1970.

Legend has it that Roy turned up at the gates to Graceland with a song he had written for Elvis, 'Only The Lonely', however Elvis was not home so Roy went on to record the song himself which was his first smash hit. In 1979 Roy recorded a tribute song to Elvis, 'Hound Dog Man'.
