I love this song but it sooooo sad , off to add it to my playlist.
I love Roy Orbison. He used to play a gig every summer at the Hampton Beach Club Casino.

I like him, too, and always thought lang had such a sweet voice. I need to go see what has happened with her.

I remember listening to our 45 record of "Pretty Woman" over and over and over when I was a kid, til I nearly wore it out.
Thanks for posting!
