205/365 Songs: You got it – Roy Orbison
This happy song has a bit of a sad story. Roy Orbison recorded You Got It in 1988 and it was released on the Mystery Girl album in 1989, a few months after his death in December 1988 from a heart attack. It reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. It also reached #3 in the UK charts in the spring of 1989. The video of the song included footage of the only public performance of You Got It in Antwerp, just a few days before his death.
