Roy Orbison

In the live recording of "Oh, Pretty Woman" from January 1, 1988, Roy Orbison's career was experiencing a resurgence, largely thanks to his well-received concert performances and renewed popularity in the late 1980s. Prior to this performance, Orbison had released the album "Mystery Girl" in 1989, which included some of his most notable later work and was produced during this period of revitalized interest. Interestingly, "Oh, Pretty Woman," originally released in 1964, is one of his signature songs and contributed significantly to his legacy as a music icon. During the time of the live recording, Orbison also benefited from a new generation of fans, influenced by his participation in the "Traveling Wilburys" supergroup, which helped solidify his status as a legendary figure in rock music.
