“You Got It” by Roy Orbison

"You Got It" came out on January 3, 1989, less than a month after Roy Orbison died of a heart attack, a song from Mystery Girl, his 22nd studio album. He wrote it with his Traveling Wilburys bandmates Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, and both play on it: Petty on acoustic guitar beside Orbison, Lynne producing and covering bass, electric guitar, keyboards and piano, with Phil Jones on drums and all three singing backup behind Orbison's lead. They recorded it in Mike Campbell's garage in Los Angeles and mixed it at George Harrison's Friar Park in England.

It reached number nine on the Hot 100, his first top 10 in 25 years, and topped the Adult Contemporary chart. The video uses footage of the only time he performed it in public, miming in Antwerp 17 days before his death.
