Roy Orbison

In the live recording of "Running Scared," featured in "A Black and White Night," Roy Orbison was experiencing a significant resurgence in his career. This concert, which took place in 1987, came after a period of relative obscurity for Orbison in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The performance was a celebration of his earlier hits and revitalized his presence in the music industry. Prior to this live special, he had released the album "Mystery Girl" in 1989, which achieved commercial success and included the hit single "You Got It." Notably, "A Black and White Night" showcased Orbison alongside an impressive lineup of contemporary artists, including Bruce Springsteen and k.d. lang, highlighting his lasting influence and appeal across generations. This event also solidified Orbison's legacy, as it was one of his final performances before his untimely passing in 1988.
