Roy Orbison was a pioneering rock and roll şarkıcı-songwriter who, by the early 1960s, was one of Columbia Records's biggest stars. Known for his distinctive, powerful vocal range and the tragic, operatic narratives in his songs, Orbison's career later experienced a resurgence in the late 1980s. This release captures his legendary 1988 broadcast performance at the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles, a triumphant moment that preceded his untimely death in December of that same year and came shortly after the formation of the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys.
