Roy Orbison, one of rock's truly legendary figures, is tied not to any one decade but virtually to the entire lifespan of rock and roll. In 1964, Roy Orbison and William Dees wrote a rock ballad called "Oh, Pretty Woman". His eight top ten hits in the four years between 1960 and 1964 paved the way for making "Oh, Pretty Woman" the biggest selling record of his career. Estimated to have sold over 7 million copies in 1964 alone, it topped the American charts for three weeks. Then, years later in the early 1990s, Orbison's hit was revitalized when it was used as the theme song for the blockbuster film, Pretty Woman.
With this DVD you are not only experiencing the magic of Roy's amazing vocal being restored from his greatest live performances into Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and DTS Digital Surround, but you will also receive the rare visual performances. Also included are never before seen bonus materials that will take you behind the scenes of Roy's career, including a unique acetate recording discovered in the Orbison vaults and restored especially for this package. From his earliest concert performances to the climatic resurgence shortly before his death, this DVD takes you on a journey of the early days of Rock & Roll to the ultimate pinnacle of success and legendary mystique of one of the most influential performers, artists and songwriters of our time. Today Roy's music continues to be rediscovered, proving that his music is timeless and his influence is infinite.
