On this day: Febraury 25, 1989

February 25, 1989 was a pretty successful day for Roy Orbison, despite the fact he had passed away the previous December.

Orbison was involved with not just one, but two CD's on the charts that day. his own; Mystery Girl, and Volume One, the debut album of the Traveling Wilburys. Before these two albums, Orbison had been out of the spotlight, and off the charts for over 20 years.

He truly gave meaning to the phrase 'gone but not forgotten'



Other notable events for February 25:
-Irish singer Ruby Murray had three singles in the UK top 6 on Feb. 25, 1955; Softly Softly, Heartbeat, and Happy Days, Lonely Nights
-Buddy Holly recorded That'll be the Day on Feb 25, 1957 at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis, New Mexico
-The Beatles began filming their second feature film, Help! on Feb. 25, 1965. The film was originally called Eight Arms to Hold You, but was later changed
