5 A Cappella Men Of Home Free Sing ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ - More Music

A group of unbelievably talented vocalists - Home Free - gave a fun and catchy performance, providing their rendition of a classic tune from the 1960s.

The 1960s was a decade that produced dozens of classic songs, many of which are still in heavy rotation today. In addition to the radio, hits from the 1960s are often heard in movies, television programs and commercials. One can't help but get nostalgic and tap a toe when hearing songs like “I Get Around” from The Beach Boys, The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar” or any 60s-era song from The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

One iconic song that continues to be heard on radio and TV and is, arguably, more beloved and influential than anything from The Beach Boys or The Doors is Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman.” In a clip posted on YouTube, the guys from Home Free put their spin on the 1962 hit. 

“Pretty woman, walkin’ down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don’t believe you, you’re not the truth
No one could look as good as you, mercy!”

In keeping with the era in which the song was released, the guys went all out, making sure their wardrobe and look helped to transport listeners and viewers back to the 1960s. They donned dark shades, bright, shiny gold-colored jackets, and black slacks. All five members even sport pompadours. 

But the guys didn’t stop with their clothing. The mics they use in the 2-minute clip look like something the legendary Elvis Presley or the incomparable Patsy Cline would have used to serenade a crowd of adoring fans.

Oh yeah, in addition to their 60s-era look, there is Home Free’s incredibly delightful and upbeat, toe-tapping cover of the Roy Orbison classic. While no one will mistake it for the original Roy Orbison version, the guys still produce a fantastic and enjoyable cover. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
