YOU GOT IT by the great Roy Orbison! From Orbison's multi-platinum album "Mystery Girl" (Available on iTunes! itunes.apple.com You Got It was written by Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. Recorded in 1988. Roy began his career at Sun Records with Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis in the 1950's. Becoming the biggest selling artist of the early 1960's with a string of hits like "Oh Pretty Woman", "Mean Woman Blues", "Love Hurts", "Only The Lonely" Crying", "Running Scared", "In Dreams", " It's Over", "Blue Angel", "Blue Bayou", and many more. Orbison single-handedly brought us the fashion of sunglasses, popularizing them for the masses. He suffered many tragedies in the late 1960's and in the 1970's retired and was ripped off by numerous music business companies and managers. When he decided to record again, it was one of the most anticipated comebacks in music history. Orbison smashed his way to the top of the modern music charts with "You Got It", "California Blue", She's a Mystery", and "A Love So Beautiful" and "I Drove All Night". The movie "Pretty Woman" became the biggest selling soundtrack to date. More music business lawsuits and record company embargoes pulled Orbison off the radio, off TV, and out of the record stores in the 1990's, but in recent years he has been slowly rising to his proper place at the top thanks to kids and teenagers who have recently rediscovered him. Called both "The True King" and "Rock & Roll's Man in Black", Roy ...

Roy Orbison sang so many great songs...He was only 25 when he recorded this one. I could hardly sing it when I was his age, now, it's more trying than singing... but he's always been my idol, so I keep trying... it brings back some wonderful memories for me.

Everytime I look into your loving eyes I see a love that money just can't buy. One look from you I drift away I pray that you are here to stay. CHORUS: Anything you want you got it Anything you need you got it Anything at all you got it, baby Everytime I hold you I begin to understand Everything about you tells me I'm your man. I live my life to be with you No one can do the things you do. CHORUS I'm glad to give my love to you I know you feel the way I do. CHORUS 2x

LINK: tinyurl.com Although he shared the same rockabilly roots as Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison went on to pioneer an entirely different brand of country/pop-based rock & roll in the early '60s. What he lacked in charisma and photogenic looks, Orbison made up for in spades with his quavering operatic voice and melodramatic narratives of unrequited love and yearning. In the process, he established rock & roll archetypes of the underdog and the hopelessly romantic loser. These were not only amplified by peers such as Del Shannon and Gene Pitney, but also influenced future generations of roots rockers such as Bruce Springsteen and Chris Isaak, as well as modern country stars the Mavericks. Orbison made his first widely distributed recordings for Sun Records in 1956. Roy was a capable rockabilly singer, and had a small national hit with his first Sun single, "Ooby Dooby." But even then, he was far more comfortable as a ballad singer than as a hepped-up rockabilly jive cat. Other Sun singles met with no success, and by the late '50s he was concentrating primarily on building a career as a songwriter, his biggest early success being "Claudette" (recorded by the Everly Brothers). After a brief, unsuccessful stint with RCA, Orbison finally found his voice with Monument Records ...

www.eagle-rock.com "The Big O" as Roy Orbison became universally known, was one of the most distinctive singers and songwriters of the Rock 'n' Roll era. Starting his career in the late fifties, he really hit the big time at the start of the sixties when a string of wonderful hit singles brought him fame on a worldwide basis. After a quiet period in the seventies he made a comeback in the eighties both as a solo artist and later as a member of the Traveling Wilburys. This live recording, released now for the first time, comes from a concert at the Front Row Theater in Cleveland on December 4th 1988, just two days before his sudden death from a heart attack on December 6th at the age of only 52. Orbison is in fine form delivering many of his best loved songs in his own unique style and with no indication of the tragedy to come. It is a fitting tribute to a truly great artist. Tracklist: 1) Only The Lonely 2) Leah 3) Dream Baby 4) In Dreams 5) Mean Woman Blues 6) Blue Bayou 7) Candyman 8) Crying 9) Ooby Dooby 10) Go, Go, Go (Down The Line) 11) It's Over 12) Working For The Man 13) Lana 14) Oh, Pretty Woman

((^.~)) ~Tinorbison~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I ought to hate you for these blues in my mind What makes me love you, am I losing my mind? I wonder where I'm gonna wind up I just can't make my crazy mind up Too many kisses brought me too many tears Tears that I'll carry with me all through the years I'm just the broken hearted kind Worrying blues in my mind I'm going crazy with these blues in my mind How can you just keep on confusing my mind? You've got a jealous air about you Maybe I'm better off without you Still I can't make my heart believe that it's true Trouble with me is having trouble with you I'm just the broken hearted kind Worrying blues in my mind Worrying blues in my mind

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 December 6, 1988) was an influential Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter, guitarist and a pioneer of rock and roll whose recording career spanned more than four decades. Orbison is best known for the songs, "Only the Lonely," "In Dreams," "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Crying," "Running Scared," and "You Got It". He was known for his smooth high baritone voice, with a range of at least two and a half octaves. He was rarely seen on stage without his trademark tinted prescription glasses. In 1987, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 1989, he was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Orbison was born in Vernon, the seat of Wilbarger County in north Texas. He was the second son of Nadine Shults and Orbie Lee Orbison. His family moved to Fort Worth around 1943 to find work in the munitions and aircraft factories which had expanded during the Second World War. They moved to the West Texas oil town of Wink in Winkler County near the border of New Mexico, in late 1946. Music became an important part of Orbison's family life. In 1949, at the age of 13, Orbison organized his first band "The Wink Westerners". When not singing with the band, he played guitar and wrote songs. The band appeared weekly on KERB radio in Kermit, Texas. Orbison graduated from Wink High School in 1954, then attended North Texas State College in Denton, Texas, studying history and English.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper Go to sleep. everything is all right. I close my eyes, then I drift away Into the magic night. I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do. Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you. In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you. In dreams youre mine. all of the time, were together In dreams, in dreams. But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone. I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry. I remember that you said goodbye. Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.
