Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Dead Page: He and Roy

BILL DEES  (24 January 1939-24 October 2012)

Songwriter best-known for his collaborations with Roy Orbison, in particular in co-writing "It's Over" and "Oh, Pretty Woman" two of my all-time favorites.  He also performed with Roy Orbison.  He wrote hundreds of songs, some of which were performed by Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Glen Campbell, Billy Joe Royal and gene Pitney.

I was unable to find out anything names of other songs he wrote that I knew, but just for the two sung by Roy Orbison, that would be enough.
