After receiving press regarding the upcoming release of ‘Roy Orbison The Soul Of Rock And Roll‘, I was looking around YouTube for a video to add along with it. What I ended up finding was footage of Bono (U2) talking about Roy Orbison and how he came to write “She’s A Mystery To Me” (‘Mystery Girl’ album).
Hearing Bono talk about it gives me chills – and what really strikes me is how much respect Bono had (and still has) for the man – and his beautiful voice. “She’s A Mystery To Me” is such a strong song, and before I watched the Bono video, I had no idea that he had written it. The things you learn.
So, now I’m hoping more people can hear this wonderful story about songwriting and mutual respect between two musicians:
