Oh, Pretty Woman Singer: Roy Orbison Music Producer and composer: Roy Orbison Music by Roy Orbison Lyrics by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees

Most modern music lovers and film enthusiasts are familiar with the song "Oh, Pretty Woman" in the melodrama "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. But the history of the worldwide glory of the song began a quarter of a century before its inclusion in the soundtrack to the film. The hit "Oh, Pretty Woman" began back in 1964, when she was on top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, and the famous film reminded the audience of this masterpiece of American singer Roy Orbison.

He wrote "Oh, Pretty Woman," co-authored with Bill Dees, when they were at Roy's house and were working on new material. They came to the wife of Orbison Claudette and she said that she was going to go shopping. Roy asked if she had any money, and Dees joked: "You do not need money at all."

The idea of "Oh, Pretty Woman" Orbison explained: "The middle part of the song is a ballad: first seeing the girl, he does not doubt that he will conquer her; then he is no longer so sure of it; later he falls into despair; finally, he decides to forget about it; and then she comes back. « In addition to the film “Pretty Woman", the song "Oh, Pretty Woman" is heard in many other films, and the number of cover versions on it is estimated in dozens. Already after his death, Roy Orbison was awarded a Grammy, and "Oh, Pretty Woman" took 224th place in the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time according to Rolling Stone magazine, and also included the number of 500 greatest songs that formed rock`n`roll.
