Roy Orbison: A post-mortem triumph

Rock and roll pioneer Roy Orbison was in the middle of a massive career renaissance in 1988, flying high with the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and tracking a solo comeback album titled Mystery Girl. Just days after finishing the vocal tracks for the soaring, dramatic ballad You Got It, the Oh, Pretty Woman hitmaker suffered a fatal heart attack at age 52 on 6 December 1988. The track was released posthumously, giving the late icon his first global smash hit in decades.
