Roy Orbison

In 1988, when Roy Orbison performed "You Got It" live, he was experiencing a significant resurgence in his career. This performance came shortly after the release of his album "Mystery Girl," which was launched in 1989 and marked his first studio album in over a decade. The single "You Got It," co-written by Orbison and others, became a major hit and is one of his most enduring songs, showcasing his signature emotive vocal style. At this point in his career, Orbison was seen as a pioneering figure in rock and pop, influencing many artists that followed him. Tragically, this period of revival was short-lived; he passed away only a few months after the album’s release in December 1988. The live performance captured his return to the limelight and underscored his lasting impact on the music industry.
