On March 18, 1970 Roy Orbison went into the studio and cut two songs co-written with a then 24-year-old musician who happened to be the president of MGM Records, where Roy was signed at the time, Mike Curb. Both songs written by Orbison and Curb, “So Young” and “It Takes All Kinds of People,” were featured in movies- Zabriskie Point and Moonshine War, respectively.
