This was the Late 80s. And what a Magnificent Song. It Speaks a lot of Volumes of the Way a Man should Love a Woman. This is One of My Favorites of Roy's.

Roy Orbison enjoyed a revival of his music in the years before he died on December 6, 1988. Today is the 33rd anniversary of his death. "You Got It" was released a month after he passed and quickly became a top ten hit. Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty helped wrote the song and Lynne produced the single which is why passages of it may sound a bit like ELO with those string arrangements. Orbison worked on the album featuring this song during the last year of his life. The other hit from it was "She's a Mystery to Me" written for Orbison by U2. His voice shines on that one too. Included among the many contributors to the album are George Harrison, David Evans, Paul Hewson, Elvis Costello, Steve Cropper, and T Bone Burnett. And all this more or less led to the formation of the Traveling Wilburys. I might have the vinyl of the album stored away, but it's been so long I'm not certain.

Love this song. It has that 60s throwback sound but with the late 80s production quality. It’s too bad he passed so young, shortly before this song was released I think. I didn’t realize how much tragedy he endured until I read Johnny Cash’s autobiography where Johnny talked about him and their friendship. He went through some stuff. Also as I type this a commercial just came on TV playing Pretty Woman…eerie!

I had heard of Roy Orbison when this came out in the late 80s, but never really sat down to listen to his work. My Mother loved him and always quoted the Elvis saying that is something like "Roy has the best voice ever heard". Now I have nothing but admiration for him, his life and his voice. Legend.

This is all just coincidental, but before he died, Roy Orbison had been signed with the Virgin Records label, and he had delivered both a "Greatest Hits' record where he rerecorded his best-known songs, and the MYSTERY GIRL album, which this single was the first from; at the same time, there was a great up-and-coming band called Jellyfish, who also signed with them, and were fans of him and the producer of MYSTERY GIRL, Jeff Lynne from ELO.. Some time after Roy died, Virgin released an album called KING OF HEARTS, which had more songs he recorded before his death, and one song, "Heartbreak Radio," was getting momentum on several radio stations. And again, about the same time, Jellyfish released a song called, "The Ghost at Number One," which I've long believed was inspired by the posthumous success Virgin had from having Orbison under contract after he died, since MYSTERY GIRL was a big album with several popular songs, and in the lyrics, Jellyfish have a bridge, "Mrs. Lynne / the fruit of your labor / Gives us a savior, nappy superstar / To you we bid congratulations, to him adulation / A blessed life begun, for the ghost at number one" My point is, Jellyfish loved Roy Orbison and ELO, and their songs are worth exploring.

I found out about Roy's death after listening to You Got It on the radio, and the announcer saying, "And that was the late, great, Roy Orbison. There will never be another like him."

ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ROY!! MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE, SING & ENJOY GREAT MUSIC!! quick fact: I was born 22 days after he died in December 1988. Sad loss of a great singer, who sings from the heart. There will never be another like Roy. What a Legend!

Written in 1987 and released in 1989 after his death. It went all the way to number one, and yes, has been used in endless commercials. Whomever has control of his estate is not too shy about selling off his songs to advertisers it seems.

Roy Orbison performed this song at the Diamond Awards Festival in Antwerp, Belgium on November 19, 1988, just 17 days later he died from a sudden, and massive heart attack while visiting his parents at their home in Tennessee. Roy Orbison was 52 years old.

It's got that typical Jeff Lynne sound. Amazing. So it was basically produced and (co-)written by the same guy who wrote and produced Xanadu (the song).
