Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman (1964)

Roy Orbison scored a transatlantic number one in 1964 with this catchy uptempo pop song that was quite a contrast to his trademark melancholic ballads.

  • Blocked. #1 for three weeks, it was his biggest hit in the US. My wife despises it because of the growls, which drives her nuts.

    Once again I am surprised an American record such as this one should be blocked in its home territory. I know what you mean about the growls, but I don't have any special thoughts either way about that. The song also had three weeks at number one in the UK.
