Oh! Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison hit No. 1 on the charts 50 years ago today (10/30/1964). The song was released just a month earlier and was certified Gold within a month and will go on to sell seven million copies. A few decades later 2 Live Crew will sample the song to do a parody which will go all the way to the US Supreme Court. The Justices will side with the rappers which will extend protections for other parodies for profit. Mr Orbison will perform the song on an HBO special (video seen here) in which he will posthumously win a Grammy. youtube/watch?v=_PLq0_7k1jk
