Set for release on the Xbox Live Marketplace on Tuesday and the PlayStation Network on Thursday, January 15, the Roy Orbison Pack 01 will include the singer's biggest success, "Oh, Pretty Woman," as well as "Ooby Dooby," "In Dreams," "Claudette," "Mean Woman Blues," and "You Got It." Each song will be available individually for $1.99 (160 Microsoft points), or bundled together for $9.99 (800 Microsoft points).
Rising to prominence in the 1950s, Orbison's musical career spanned four decades. He eventually served as a lynchpin of the '80s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, which also boasted George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne among its members. Orbison died of a heart attack in December of 1988, at the age of 52.
