Check out this fantastic cover of Roy Orbison’s smash hit “OH, PRETTY WOMAN” performed by John and Jacob!

Just last year, John and Jacob visited Still Working Music Group- the publishing company founded by Roy’s wife, Barbara Orbison- and co-wrote the catchy tune “Be My Girl” with Still Working Music writer Derrick Southerland.  This song made such a splash that it was picked up by the hit ABC television show NASHVILLE.
