In September 1987, Roy Orbison performed "Oh, Pretty Woman" during the iconic Black & White Night concert at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles. At this point in his career, Orbison was experiencing a resurgence, largely due to the popularity of the song and his ability to captivate audiences with his distinct vocal style and emotional depth. Prior to this performance, he released the album "Mystery Girl" in 1989, which featured hits like "You Got It."
