''Mystery Girl'' is the last album recorded by Roy Orbison, posthumously released on the Virgin label in 1989. The album became a hit worldwide, reaching #5 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, and #2 on the UK Albums Chart. == History == The album was named after the chorus from the track "She's a Mystery to Me", written for Orbison by U2's Bono and The Edge. In the documentary ''In Dreams: The Roy Orbison Story'', Bono tells how he woke up for a concert's sound check, following a late night listening to the soundtrack to David Lynch's ''Blue Velvet'', and had the tune of title song in his head, figuring it was another Orbison song ("In Dreams" was the only Orbison song on that album). During the sound check he performed it for the other members of U2, who agreed that the track sounded like an Orbison song. A short while later, Orbison met the band backstage at one of their concerts and subsequently asked Bono if he would like to write a song with/for him. The album was released posthumously in 1989 and would join another Orbison album on the ''Billboard'' chart. ''Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1'' was recorded in mid 1988, with Orbison as part of the supergroup, Traveling Wilburys. The dual success means that Orbison joins Jim Croce, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson as the only singers to simultaneously have two Top 5 albums on the ''Billboard'' chart posthumously. On December 6, 1988, Orbison died from a heart attack aged 52. In May 2014, this album was re-issued to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It included bonus material including demos, and a new song "The Way Is Love", which was put together by "John Carter Cash" and Orbison's sons from an demo recorded on a cassette recorded around 1986. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mystery Girl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
