Product Description
Featured, of course, in the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere film (1990) and now in its own stage musical, "Oh, Pretty Woman" was originally recorded by Roy Orbison and released as a single in August 1964, spending three weeks at number one in the US and, later that year, in the UK. The title was apparently inspired by Orbison's wife, Claudette, interrupting a conversation to announce she was going out. When Orbison asked if she had enough cash, his co-writer Bill Dees interjected, "A pretty woman never needs any money." In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 224 on their list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." In 2008, The Library of Congress selected the song for preservation in the National Recording Registry. A great song for any time of the year, your band and audience will love this toe-tapping classic from the 60s, sounding as timeless today as it did back then.
