Who could have known that the much-loved Orbison would record his best album at this late stage in his career; furthermore, that he would be dead a few months later. The success of his role in the Traveling Wilburys gave him a much-deserved boost. Orbison had the great voice of pop and after many years of indifferent material he finally hit gold with great songs such as 'You Got It' (written with Lynne and Petty), 'Careless Heart' (written with Diane Warren) and 'A Love So Beautiful' (written with Lynne). Orbison's tragic dedication to us when he finished this album was 'don't give up before the miracle happens'.
