She's a Mystery To Me is a great song, it was written by Bono for Roy and just suits him perfectly.

I love this song too.



I'm normally not a fan of the old 50s/60s style crooners but Roy Orbison was something else, he had such a unique voice that could change octaves at will and harmonize with other singers. A real shame he kicked the bucket just when his career was experiencing a revival with his new album and the Travelling Wilbury stuff.

That black and white dvd with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and others has to be one of the best music flicks going around

Saw that the other day on Studio on Fox. Absolute brilliance.

Running Scared is my favourite Orbison song. And I was told once it was the first "pop hit" to not have a chorus. Ground breaking and brilliant was our Roy.
 
Bruce Springsteen had some quotes that rang true about Roy. So many musicians from Elvis to the Beatles were influenced by Roy. He would have to be the most unluckiest man in rock and roll after the tragedy of his 1st wife and children, so very sad. Roy, the King of Heartbreak, the master of suspense. Pretty Woman will always be the best song from 1964, it is as timeless as many of the Beatles hits from the year. Being involved with the whole Travelling Wilbury family made Roy very happy and at least he was in a happy place when he went.
