Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by an instantly recognizable, descending guitar riff and a relentlessly galloping rhythm, this track became one of the most successful pop records of the 1960s. Orbison's dramatic vocal shifts and the song's tension-building arrangement perfectly capture the excitement and longing of a fleeting street encounter.
