Does the Travelling Wilbouries sing in Roy Orbison's "Anything you want, you got it". I have a bet on this x

Question

I know the big 'O' did sing in the Travelling wilbouries, but I think that he sang "anything you want, you got it" on his own without the TW's. Someone I work with is sure that he did sing this with them as backing singers. I have a bet on with him.. Can anyone help? x

Answer 1

You Got It is frequently mistaken for a Traveling Wilburys song, due to the involvement of Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty.

Answer 2

Roy Orbisons original track "Anything you Want" on his Album was completed without The Travelling Willbourghys. They only added the backing on the Travelling Willbourghys Compelataion Album.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure Jeff Lynn (of Traveling Wilburys and ELO fame) produced that particular Roy Orbison album, and anything Jeff Lynn touches seems to have a distinctive Jeff Lynn sound to it... he's probably doing backup vocals too.

So while that song is definitely a Roy Orbison "solo" song, there's probably at least one other Wilbury in the vocal mix.

Answer 4

Traveling Wilburys Anything You Want

Answer 5

It is a Roy Orbison song that he did by himself
