What a night!


Roy Orbison is awarded his ninth Gold record for "Oh! Pretty Woman", which topped the charts in ten countries, including the US, Canada and the UK, selling over seven million copies worldwide.
This video version of Pretty Woman is from Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black and White Night, a 1988 Cinemax television special originally broadcast on January 3, 1988, starring triple Hall of Fame inductee (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame) rock/pop singer/songwriter Roy Orbison and backing band TCB Band with special guests including Bruce Springsteen, k.d. lang and others. The special was filmed entirely in black and white. After the broadcast the concert was released on VHS and Laserdisc. A live album was released in 1989.
