731 Roy Orbison (1936-1988) “Oh, Pretty Woman” 1964

“In ‘Oh, Pretty Woman,’ Claudette inspired not only the biggest hit Roy would ever have; for years to come, ‘Pretty Woman’ would occupy a special place in the hearts of all pop and rock fans…it came directly form Roy’s heartfelt adoration of women in general and of Claudette in particular. That he should have let ambition come between him and his wife when he obviously worshiped her made the steady, irreversible erosion of their marriage even more poignant” (Ellis Amburn, Dark Star: The Roy Orbison Story, 1990). Listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
